Scrollable Widgets for Launcher Pro Beta

I can't seem to find any good quality scrollable widgets. I realize most home screens do not support this, but it appears that Launcher Pro Beta does have the option to enable scrollable widgets now.
There are a few applications that I think would be VERY useful with scrollable widgets and wondering if anyone has run across these or any developers that would want to take on this project.
1. Calender application. A scrollable calender (Android Agenda Widget?) would be awesome.
2. An application dock that allows you to scroll through an application list.
Any ideas as to why these things have been developed or if people are working on them?
Email/SMS/Facebook/Twitter scrollable widgets would also be useful.

I'd like to know of one scrollable widget so I could test it out tbh

Pure Messenger widget supports scrolling.

Yeah I hope development picks up on this for sure. Pure messenger is pretty sick.... But it needs friends!
Agenda, contacts, google reader ap anyone?

did you try sliding the launcherpro "dock" to the side already? don't if that's what you want

I do like the new dock on the bottom and how you can add more shortcuts.
And like Trill said, a google RSS reader with a scrollable widget would be amazing. Or how about a slickdeals scrollable widget. Or sports scores scrollable widget. Soooo many options!

I suppose you could use Flyscreen for all of that... Although it seems to cause more delays unlocking the more widgets are loaded.

The unofficial official Homescreen thread

In this thread, let's all show each other our homescreens, so we can all have a more pimpin' phone
Include a bit of information if you have a non-standard set-up, so as to minimize the amount of replys saying "WHAT IS THAT THEME YOU'RE RUNNING" etc. Thanks
I'll start.
I'm just running launcher pro, and the beautiful widgets theme is bullet droid.

LauncherPro with Icons I made for the dock...
Lockscreen (widgetlocker) with HoneyCombClock

Using:

Beautiful Widgets Home - Obsidian Skin
BattStat widget
WidgetLocker for lock screen

My current setup, with Launcher Pro, Codex Icons and clockr for the time.
Too lazy to make a Flashlight icon for myself to fit the theme, heh.

Anyway .. Not very minimalistic but this would be mine.

Kinda boring, I might switch to adw and have to get some of these fancy custom lock screens...
Edit: now with awesome puzzle lock, thanks to the tater!
I guess that method's resolution isn't as good with some of the apps. Anyone know how to adjust it? or is it just because I uploaded those images on a mobile device?

ok here goes. All infor about what I'm running can be found in sig.
I'm somewhat of a minimalist, so my homescreen(center screen) is blank except for time and battery.
running launcher pro so most my icons are on the docs.

Here's my work in progress.

Beautiful widgets and launcher pro. I'm always changing the wallpaper and clock. Those microsoft-like tiles are pretty cool, how did you do that blue2107?

From what I've gotten to work perfectly you hold down the "Back" soft key, then push the power button. Holding the back button shouldn't actually go back, at least until you release pressure.

[Q] Widgets LauncherPro style

Good morning guys,
Used the launcher and installed MIUI of these days the LauncherPro Plus, and I fell in love with his own widgets, eg Facebook, twitter. You can see all updates in the launcher own without having to be opened by pressing the program or get one by hand and seeing how one of the widgets in the program itself. I would like to leave if there are some widgets that do the same job or if you have way to install these widgets in LauncherPro MIUI?
It would be the perfect combination, the launcher would be perfect for Android.
Thank you.
Excuse my English (google.translate) rsrsrsrsrs

If you mean you're looking for widgets like LP+'s, I'd take a look at Colorize Widgets.

MIUI launcher doesn't support scrollable widgets. You can try Android Pro Widgets though, they have funky but functional workaround.

ADW Widgets

I am on CM7 which came with ADW and it was fast. But I need good calendar and power toggle widgets( wife, gps, sync, mobile, brightness..all in one), so I switched to GO Launchers. HOwever, GO seems to be really slow, noticeably so. ANyone else seen this? I did freeze ADW and my quadrant score is actually the same, so it must be a Go Launcher thing?
Are there good power and calendar widgets that you can recommend for ADW?
Thanks

Yes its the Go launcher,s problem its slow and freezes all the time..why dont you try ADW launcher EX..

I use widgetsoid and pure news widget scrollable...im not sure if they are still on the market though.

APW (Android pro widgets) is very good for calendars and different feeds. Elixir is one of the best power toggles I've used. So much stuff you can do with it. And its free!

Android Agenda Widget - Calendar, Lots of features
Power control can be done via status bar but if you wanting a widget...
Power Control.

i would love to find a nice contacts widget and a messages widget for my htc inspire

Apw has the best contact and message widgets, if you get the pro version make sure you install the ics theme for it, it looks superb

What widgets do you use?

I think the ability to have widgets is a great feature in Android. I was wondering what everyone's favorite/most useful ones are.

"PremierFrame"
on my current set up, page one is nothing but widgets, page 2 i have a 4x2 widget, then on the 3rd screen i have my calender & data/wifi usage widgets

Battery Disc
Beautiful Widgets
YouTube
Pandora
Pulse

BeyondPod, Any.Do, Evernote on my off-screen. Just Simi Clock with time, weather and battery level on my main screen.

Audio Manager: Status of all the volume levels, and a nice interface to change them. Nice selection of themes if you get the paid version.
SwitchPro: Fully customizable toggle widgets. There are lots of similar toggles, but this is one of the best there is.
Touch Calendar: Need paid version to get widgets, but best calendar widget I could find, and I tried quite a few. You can display a whole month on the 4 x 4 widget and actually read the appointment descriptions.
