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.

rosie dock to look like launcher pro but keeping htc widgets

ok so my dilema is i love launcher pro cuz of the dock features......but i love sense and rosie because of the scrolable widgets like the htc bookmarks and htc calendar widgest......forgive me if this a noob question and it can be done fairly easy.......can i have both? a launcher pro dock customizable to my liking and not lose the htc widget capabilities?

Nope HTC widgets only work for sense but buy launcherpro plus it has widgets like sense.

Same boat. Launcher pro 3d drawer is sexy. But I love my sense widgets

I had the setup of LauncherPro Plus, and the sense like clock: Fancy widget 1.30 (not in market due to c&d from HTC. Search for it). I had all the goodness of LauncherPro, with LauncherPro Plus' great widgets and the great sense clock

no but i like my friendstream and htc bookmarks and htc calendar widgets

ditch the friendstream... look up pure messenger (and enable the scrollable widgets option in launcher pro) albeit not as 'clean' or fluid...but better than giving up launder pro, imho
bookmarks and calender are located under launcher pro widgets

I think Pure Messenger is better than Friend Stream. And those other widgets you like there are exact replicas in Launcher Pro Plus. And he's creating new ones. Next one is the Friend Stream clone. There will be a news/RSS widget at some point as well. That's the one I want.

i think so too, just doesnt update as much

so thanks guys i guess i just needed a lil pushing......i set up launcher pro and pure widgets and beautiful widgets....a couple dollars later and im never going back to sense =)

lol np i needed a lil bit of pushing myself once i realized. plus that damn scrollable dock is the business!!! htc sense's launcher has always been ugly imo

launcher pro-esque scrollable dock possible in sense?

I love the stock sense ui, but I really miss the scrollable dock I had on my launcher pro ui setup. Anyone know of a mod that will replace the sense dock with something more launcher pro-esque without sacrificing access to the sense widgets?
Thanks

I know this is like beating a dead horse and yes I do understand that for some reason people like Sense that much more....but what widget is it that you really want that is available in Sense but not Launcher Pro? I say this as someone who was a huge fan of Sense until I actually set up Launcher Pro with the dock and icons and widgets I wanted at which point I could never see myself going back to (at least the current version of) Sense.
Rather than starting the old debate, I mean this more as an offer to help you find a compromise.

I had launcher pro on my epic before I took it back, and really loved it, it was the lite (free) version, so have it didn't have all the widgets avail on the donation version.
I love the live weather clock, the book mark page, the enhanced music player, and the friend stream feed.
I actually just looked at the widgets you get with the donation version, and they seem to cover every thing but the sense clock. Are there free apps that will provide equivalent to the htc sense apps that I could use with launcher pro?

for a sense clock download fancy widget from the market. works exactly the same, looks exactly the same

There are quite a few weather and clock apps. Beautiful widgets stands out but there are others like Fancy Widget as well. The bookmarks I'm not sure about since I use my browser's bookmarks. There is a Friends widget with LP but I never used it since those kinds of widgets demolish battery and I prefer to just check that stuff from Facebook or whatever. There are quite a few music widgets as well and many are much nicer than the Sense one as well.
Honestly your best bet is to get the full LP. It's a very good app and worth the tiny price. Between their widgets and all of the ones (free and paid...mostly free) in the market, there shouldn't be anything getting in your way. I'd rather just pay for LP and have all of my options than try to hack Sense to be as flexible as LP. Sense is a decent bit of polish on the base Android OS if you like how it looks but it is hard to customize and it is missing some of the best parts of third party launchers. Check out the screenshot and LauncherPro threads in this subforum and you might just find some things that make Sense look boring.
If you really do need something from Sense, you will probably need to give up the scrolling dock but there are some nice themes to make it at least look better than the default scheme.

Thanks guys, the info is exactly what I needed

Did a search for 'fancy', 'fancy widget(s)' and didn't see anything relevant, is it listed under a different name?

i posted this in your other thread too:
Pure Grid calendar widget
very customizable, size, tons of themes, and when you click it, it takes you too your google calender ect.. i use it.
its only like $2 in the market, make sure its the grid one, not just the one that says calender.

I was looking for one as well, dug through a few and finally settled on Agenda Widget.

Best one
the best one - for me is - jorte - i tryed many apps - http://androinica.com/2010/04/16/jorte-is-a-promising-android-calendar-replacement-app-reviews/

+1 for Pure Grid Calendar Widget

I am using LauncherPro Plus calendar widget, otherwise Android Agenda Widget is the best for me

I tried a few this past weekend, also looking for a good free one. i ended up settling on CalWdiget. Fairly customizable & seems pretty solid so far.
just my personal preference/opinion..

I suppose I'll vote for Android Agenda Widget, even though this whole thread shouldn't even be here...

Agenda Widget
Big fan of agenda widget, free, fast, simple and customizable.

Calendar Pad.
The weekview is, for me, great. There are also numerous widgets with it, including fullscreen ones, other sized ones and (the one I use) a single button widget (showing date) which will take you to your preferred view (weekview for me).
And it's free

[Q] Is there a way to get sense widgets?

Right now, I'm running CM 6 and I had launcher pro plus, loved the widgets but i found it was using up quite a bit of my battery. I'm trying to switch back to ADW launcher but I cant find anything close to the widgets that Launcher pro offered(i.e. bookmarks, messaging scroll widget). I've looked at beautiful widgets, pure messenger, and some other ones but can't quite find anything like it.
Is there a way to get sense widgets on cm6 other than launcherpro? Even the clock widget that has alarm+timer+stopwatch when you click it(i have weather widgets so it looks identical). And also the bookmarks4x4 and messaging scrollable widgets.
