Smooth calendar or grid cagebdar are neat. 3g watchdog (monitors your data usage) and apn Droid (disables and enables 3g data) are both useful if your data plan isn't unlimited. And genie widget is also quite good and has a nice app to go with it (news add weather) though you'll have to Google that one as it isn't on the market.​

any suggestions for Messeage widget?Mail Widget? and Photo album widget?

Try Pure Messenger for the message/mail/texts

suggestion: what about turning this thread into a widget collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject? this is not the oldest thread on the subject, but the one with the most generic subject and maybe it could be turned into the last of it's kind...

I like the Ted Zkeletal clock widget, it's a nice change. It is quite large though.

Hi, anyone.
I am the first user of Android. Can anyone help me how to enable Fancy Widget on my Xperia X10?
Thank you.

you download from the market, then add the widget by long pressing the screen? of course you need to have sufficient space for it.

What version did you use? I just download 1.8 and the weather icon doesn't show up....

I hope so... It's the one thing I miss from my Sense rom! (running Froyo now)
Will you need a custom launcher for them to work?

I get an "Unable to connect to the SNG server" and "Unable to update feeds" CONSTANTLY with Socialite.
It makes this widget completely and utterly useless.
Does anyone know of a fix for these?

I can connect but can't get to settings i get a FC. I'm running CM5.0.8T5 it was the same on stock Froyo.
It looks like a great app i would use it if i didn't get FC

yeah, socialite is a broken POS. And the new scrolling widget feature in ADW launcher looks promising! So you can use pure messenger widget, which has scrolling enabled! Not perfect, but close as you gonna get!

Cyanogenmod - Please list replacement apps here

What is a good replacement for the apps that worked on 2.1
HTC Facebook.
Swype - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687056&highlight=swype
I forgot I had to go into the system settings to enable Swype. I thought it would turn itself on by default so I could just select it from a long press in the search box.

Depending on what you want it for or how you use it; Socialite or SyncMyPic work best to mimic what could be done in sense with HTC Facebook.

Good post. I've been hunting to find a good gallery program to replace the 3d gallery. I tried just removing the 3d gallery apk from system/apps but then I cannot set a wallpaper (I wouldn't care of even having a "gallery" program but it seems like i cannot set wallpapers without it... i'm fine just using estrongs file manager to browser pics).

I originally posted this in the wrong thread, but flickie doesn't seem to do it. First off, its primary focus seems to be finding new wallpapers (and not to browse images already on the sd card).. secondly, it uses the same 3d gallery thing as the 3d gallery thats included in cyanogen. Am I missing something?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit
I do think the 3d gallery is neat, but I like simple usually. Its suddenly allowing me to just use a file manager to browse my photos and set as wallpaper... wasn't allowing me earlier.
On a side note, I think i'm gonna keep that flickie program installed. I do like being able to find some other neat wallpapers by category. So thanks for the recommendation

I think the official Facebook sync is supposed to be fixed very soon.

I've just been using touch.facebook.com in browser.

One cosmetic question i can't figure out being used to Sense - is there any way for the icon to display the number of unread texts or emails instead of it just showing up in the notification bar?
god i wish there was a way for someone to pull and post the htc mail apk its so much better.

Froyo DOES have fb sync. Not working 100% on cyan right now. There are fixes over in the thread in development. One of which involves editing the build.prop

Try launcherpro. Shows these notification numbers in the taskbar.

for those of you wanting a home clock with weather replacement like sense's, beatiful widgets home looks very much the same, only you can skin it however you would like. there are dozens and dozens of available skins.

Or get chomp sms for your texts. I think it's much better then stock messaging anyway.

I use Google voice for VM and texting. Works great except for MMS, which is a GV limitation at the moment.

There was an issue with facebook sync on the hero build as well. Someone posted a fix there. I was going to try it out later.

handcent now has a small widget that looks like a small app that will show a number with how many texts you have unread

Anyone know of a way to get facebook calendar events into a calendar on CM6; a la HTC Facebook for Sense? I tried some Facebook Birthdays events or something that worked for about 20 minutes then corrupted everyone on reboot.

Looking for an app similar to Friend Stream

OK, i have looked around, pretty sure there isnt one, but could be wrong... here is what i am looking for:
If i could find a "friend stream" (from HTC Sense) type app that would work without the sense launcher i would be in heaven!
Requirements:
have a running stream of facebook and twitter updates in one place
ability to post to FB and twitter at one time (obviously would be the same message)
Would like to easily retweet/repost/reply
Would REALLY like a widget
must NOT be a battery drainer
would like it to look nice, but this is on the bottom of the list for a reason
Man.. really seems like this should be out there somewhere but i cannot find it.
As always, you help is much appreciated! TIA

Try Pure Messenger Widget

I would also like a alternative app because every time I open friend stream, It force closes on me EVERYTIME!!!

Pure Messenger is actually a lot better than Friend Stream. I'd use it instead even if I was running the Sense launcher.

Using what app?

So, here are my thoughts... Socialite is really cool... But not quite as solid at this point as what i would like but MAN its got HUGE potential.. I REALLY like it but it didnt seem to update and i really didnt like the fact that FB and Twitter were on 2 separate tabs... but other than that.. this is AWESOME (oh and it needs a dark theme but really no biggie)
i did reinstall the PureMessenger and although not as "cool" as Socialite, its solid, works great, and does what i need it to do! THANK FOR THE TIPS!!!

yes, using friendstream ;-)

There's also the Android Pro Widgets, which you can have a widget that does Twitter and Facebook at the same time. That's the one I use. Drop it full-sized on a page and drop the transparency to 0. I've done that with all of the widgets APW provides and I love how they look and operate.

+1 on Android Pro Widgets They have a solid widget pack and work better than Sense stock in some way and have added functions. I only have Facebook mapped and there I can see a small thumbnail of posted pics, links, etc see only my wall, post comments or post status updates on the fly.
Gonna play with the transparencies, thanks for the tip

Friendstream replacement for AOSP ROMs?

This is the only thing that I've been missing since moving from a Sense ROM/launcher.
Does a nice scrollable widget exist that's similar to the stock Friendstream one?
EDIT: I've tried out Socialite, but it seems to never sync properly and eventually force closes on the CyanogenMod nightly builds.

I miss it too.

Try Pure Messenger Widget.

EDIT: I was just too tired to realize what I was doing incorrectly. Trying to get a widget setup that looks decent.
All of the different variants of the Sense style widgets look really "off" for some reason. Looking further, it's definitely the pictures, as they trail a bit off the left side of the widget. (See pic)
I'm also not fond of the left/right arrows on the widget. I only set up FB, so I don't need non-working buttons.

Pure Messenger will make you forget Friend Stream every existed.

Use the scrollable version with ADW/LauncherPro. It is better than FriendStream.
Like so:

Nice setup TheBiles.
PureMessenger > friendstream with the ability to use skins, add email and sms along with twitter and FB to stream, ability to select preferred clients for clicked feed, and oodles of config settings in a nice scrollable UI with ADW or launcherPRO. Well worth a buck-fifty.

I wouldn't consider Pure messenger better than Friendstream myself.
It's nice... but sadly needs a few fixes in my opinion
1) Won't display 'mobile upload' picture notifications properly. It only shows 1 picture in the internal viewer with no way to go directly to the person's photo list.
2) Pictures display as filenames in the list view, rather than the actual thumbnail as sense does. (This might be considered user preference, but I'd prefer to see a picture rather than <randomwords>.jpg )
3) No support for built in HTC applications for Facebook nor Twitter (aka peep). While the internal viewer can be dismissed in favor of a real 'app', the selection is limited to bout 3-6 apps none of which are the built in parts of HTC's rom. (Of course if you're not using HTC roms then this isn't problem
Overall it's a great app, and the best out there I've seen, don't get me wrong.. but Friendstream still has the edge in actual functionality for basic use. Sure, No themes, lack of customization hurt, but when it comes down to using the product for what it's intended for (Keeping up with posts/photos from your friends) it has a few issues IMO.

Had a chance to play with Pure Messenger Widget a bit more today.
Overall it seems "ok" but lacking in some ways as well. You can't post directly from the widget, which is a huge strike against it. I want the widget so I don't have to clutter my homescreens with redundant apps.
Guess I accidentally went past my 24 hours so I am the proud owner, or some such thing.

I'm using the scrollable widget currently, and like I said, it's neat to watch updates, but it's a killer that I don't see an obvious way to post anything to FB/Twitter through the widget, instead I'm forced to use the app.
It just feels "clunky" for lack of a better term.
I will say that the widgets can be set up to look better, it just seems that some of the skins are definitely not ones any OCD person would want to use.

It's Launcher Pro. I'm using the Froyo wide dock (in settings) and just setting up normal apps and using the Launcher Pro icons for them.
I like how it looks with a nice black/white theme.

Erm. You just click that little star, and select "update status." You never have to open the official apps. You can also click that little arrow and select "open Facebook" so you don't ever need an icon on the screen in the first place.

That's Extended Controls. The second icon is the Froyo hotspot toggle, but it does have a 4G toggle option. I just don't have it on there because 4G doesn't work with CyanogenMod at the moment.

Well crap, it looks as though I'd always been fat-fingering the arrow and only saw the "open Facebook" link in there.
I recant my previous statements and accept that this is a damn fine alternative to Friendstream. (after a little getting used to)

The only issue that I have with Pure Messenger is this: When a FB contact posts something on someones' wall it doesn't show who the other person is, even if the other person is one of your contacts it doesn't show.

Got socialite running on newest cyanogen nightly. Its pretty nice really, I actually like it better than friend stream.
