Ok so there are a few PSN widgets on the market none of them really take the cake. The one I have now is my favorit with just a few flaws. First I have PSN Friends Widget, its a great widget that if you go pro it will even send you notifications when a friend signs in to PSN. My biggest grip is that its an odd size widget its a 2x2 and its ugly lol. It does what it should very well but it is ugly. I am going to hit up the developer to see if he will make some skins.
Lets talk PSN dream widget maybe someone could develop and Id be more then happy to donate. Ok so for starters the widget needs to come in more then one size. Like say 4x2 would be perfect. Second, it needs skins. Third, it needs to have settings that allow you to let it sync similar to the weather, as in you can set your time intervals according to how you want it. anywhere from 15mins to 6hrs. You get the point. Lastly it would be great if we could get a notifications in the notification bar whenever someone signs in to PSN. OH and one more thing, the PSN friends widget when you click it has a pop out window that has an option for settings refresh and buy the pro version. I think it would be better if the widget its self was scrollable and then those type of obtions lay at the bottom of the scroll.
The PSN Friends widget does all the above except it doesnt have skins and it doesnt do diffrent sizes and ADW breaks it when it tries some odd sizes.

i was looking at the continuum on verizon and i thought "what's with the awkward location of the soft keys between the two screens" and "why have 2 in the first place." but the idea of a ticker was nice. i also didnt think it was versatile enough. and thought if that was a spot for another 1x4 standard android widget and could scroll through several widgets that you choose it would be better but then why not do it on one screen and put it on the market.
so i had the idea of either a 1x4 widget that actually holds other widgets and/or links and scrolls through them every 5 seconds or so, you could have all your favorite widgets on one screen inside a dock.
or why not a home launcher with a with a dockbar can not only hold a 1/1 icon links/shortcuts but could also hold widgets up to 1x4. add in the ticker widget and then you would always have it on screen, not just on one home screen.
i realize a ticker wouldn't be for everyone, it could get quite annoying but i think i would like to see the option available. a dock bar that holds a widget might get some downloads i think
does anyone else have any thoughts? good idea/bad idea? anyone who can make this sort of thing happen interested? my brother could do it but he wont speak to me anymore.
i know some of the launchers out there can do a lot and this sort of thing may already be possible but take some know how. i mean i saw an lcars theme for a launcher that went against everything i know about the android gui. but i have no idea how to do that sort of thing.
Sad story.
I've had my EVO for over 3 months now and in that 3 months I have not been able to create one layout of which I had liked and stuck with for more than a week. It's getting old but I just can't seem to decide on something that fits my taste as far as home screens, wallpaper, theme, widgets, and everything else. I couldn't even find a screen in the post your screens thread that was very appealing to me.
So here's my request: Create a layout/theme for me and post the screens and I will donate $5-10 for the first one that I am happy with. Theme, wallpaper, screen layout, widgets(weather, clock, in-car screen, calendar, astrid)
Just make something that looks cool and is functional at the same time. I am running myn's RLS 5 with stock rosie but am open to ADW or LauncherPRO launchers. I use ChompSMS.
Widgets to include:
Clock
Weather
Music
Calendar
Unread Chomp SMS
Unread GMail SMS
Screen dedicated to Car widgets
Multicon?
Other notes:
Throw a theme and font on it from this forum
IF you make this into a flashable zip for me, I will donate $15. If not, just post screen shots.
Thanks I'll be back tonight after work. I look forward to seeing in anyone bites on this. Trust me, I wouldn't be asking people to do this if I had one ounce of creativity but nothing I ever make even looks slighty cool or unique.
download sweeterhome from the market. it has a bunch of layouts bult in.
is this for real ?
if so its sad so very sad
that's the fun thing about android so many way to change things
What are the best Weather apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!
Looks like Beautiful Widgets will take the win here, but I'm sure many will want another app/widget that's free.
weather bug--free
For Weather you are spoilt for choice.
Besides what has already been mentioned there's:-
eWeather HD Widget & Barometer ~ £1.85
Palmary Weather Pro ~ £1.85
Weather Pro ~ £2.13
Go Weather ~ Free
...... and many, many others which I will leave for someone else to add to.
i used optimus x2 weather widget..
its called today briefing..
I'm by no means well-versed in weather apps as I'm only starting to play with them, but these are my observations so far. Accuweather has nice icons that I like but keeps force closing on me. Hope that will be fixed soon. Genie news and weather is good too, you can choose to display just weather.
Beautiful Widgets is my choice. Fully customizable with downloadable skins for Clock, Weather, Battery widget, and Toggle Widgets.
Press the weather area and it will launch your choice of Weather App *I use WeatherBug Paid (I try to support if its a mainstay)* the Radar can be slow though but it works..
Press the Time spot and will launch you choice of Clock or Alarm. *I use Gentle Alarm*
Press the Date area and will launch your choice of Calendar. *I use Jorte*
All of that is customizable. For instance if you wanted to you could config it to launch Angry Birds on press of any of above or any other app or shortcut of your choosing.
I love the Animated Weather effects. though last week during Snowpocylpse here is Chicago area I thought the drifting was a bit overkill... LOL
I am looking for Agenda/Calender and Bookmark widgets like the ones on HTC Sense. I have tryed Launcher Pro Plus widgets but I don't want to use LP on my TF. I have also tryed Pure Grid Calendar widget w/Sense skin but it is buggy and isn't scrollable on my TF..The Calender n Bookmark widget on the TF are small and pathetic.
If anyone can recommend a good Agenda/Calender and Bookmark widget that is scrollable and works as smooth as the Sense or LP ones please let me know! Thanks
I'm quite a fan of touch calendar - the paid version has the widgets that you can set to display x number of upcoming/past weeks in a given widget size. It's not scrollable directly from the widget, but you can specify clicking on the widget to either add a new event or see the full calendar. The pinch zoom on the calendar app itself is very nice, and I've found it superior to agenda-type views. You can try the app itself out for free, then decide if you want to pay for it to get the widget.
I don't use a bookmark widget, but live bookmarks is supposed to be pretty good and HTC like (note, it's a live folder, not a widget)

I will give those a try, thank you for your suggestions...Greatly Appreciated!
I don't know of any widgets to do this, but I suggest not buying anything. 3.1 has support for re-sizable widgets, should be pushed out in June.

Looking forward to that update for sure, wish they would also add the option of removing/renaming App shortcut names leaving just the icon on your homepage like LP.

Can anyone suggest a weather widget, or even know of one, that is JUST the picture/graphic of the weather? I'm going minimal these days with my homescreens and need something to match. Seems every widget has a clock or forecast for the next couple days, etc. I simply want, if its sunny, a sun. If its raining, rain drops etc.. I've seen similiar ones for the moon phases etc, but can't seem to find anything for weather..
Any help? Thanks folks..

Well am not sure this is rom related but if you going into the widget selector and scroll down to weather there are 3 of them in there with 2 small ones.
You don't say if you even bothered to look at the phones selection of widgets.
These are from beautiful widgets. You can turn off the background so all you get is the weather. It's in the market if you want it.

Thank you ^
Going to check it out in a few. Wonder if I can edit that to remove the text(temp, high/low) somehow. Is it simply removing a line of script in the file does anyone know?

BW has an lwp that displays just the weather.
Sent from my time waster.
Weather bug has a nice small widget.
As I said with the stock weather widget you get several small ones. This is the smallest on that is available without having to buy anything.
simi clock has a minimal weather widget too.
