is there a widget like pure messenger that can bring txt,emails,facebook,and twitter messages to a widget? or is there something that comes close?
Get launcher pro plus, it comes with widgets and has what you're looking for.

Launcher pro doesn't have a widget Like that. It's friends widget only handed twitter and fb. And it wont notify you of fb comments either. I use LP and pure messenger. If LP friends widget would display comments I would use it. But until then pure messenger is all we have.

Handcent comes to mind and is very nice. It is also free!
i really just want a widget that brings txt,email,and gmail together...would be nice to have face book and twitter messages (not updates) in there too
Looking for a pure messenger alternative too, every time I add it (scrollable), it's blank
Executive Assistant is an alternative but does not support exchange yet

And did you enable the scrollable mode ???
Scrollable mode works fine. I use it everyday since Pure messenger support it.
I use pure and have zero probs. Did you download K9 for pure? That allows you to use pop and gmail for emails. Is it that ur tired of pure and want something else?

Turns out it's a problem with LP+ & Zeam, had the same problem with the new Touiteur widget, ADW works fine...
I look for an other Messenger Widget, too, that can show me SMS, Emails and Calls in one widget. I Used Pure Messenger for a while. But since an update of K9 for pure they didn't work together. It always comes a Message that i need the Version 3.390-109 of K9. But i have the new one installed.

As much as I dislike the Sense UI, there are several features of the Desire's ROM that I absolutely love. One of them being that the Calendar widget is full screen and displays combined events from both the Coporate (work) and Google (personal) calendars. This is extremely helpful for me. Is there any app on the market, or that one of you developers might be able to develop? Also, I love the pinch-zoom home screen switching. This would be amazing. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Pure Calendar Widget does that

The option to select corporate calendar is there - along with all the Google calendars. Under settings, /select calendars to show/...

Find a Droid dump, download, and install MotoCAL.apk. Search for it. this will allow you to use your corporate calendar. Pure Calendar Widget aggregates them both on the home screen. Another good one is Pure Agenda Widget.
I'd go crazy with out them.

Thanks. Did that, but MotoCal just opens to a white screen and just sits there hanging. Any other suggestions?
Buuuuuump! I needs me a calendar that combines my Google calender and my corporate calendar I use with Touchdown Exchange! Please!
there isnt a widget that can access the touchdown api. asked the developer and he mentioned that. i use the motocal apps with directory as well
Yep, Pure calendar works fine with Corporate calendar.
I confirm, no public API for Touchdown yet (only for Motorola corporate)
But it may come ... hehehe
Yes there is...
The agenda wiget. (It is not in the market). It does muti cals even corp.

You need to do some research for yourself.
Pull corpcal.apk from enomther's official rom. push it to /system/app. use the pure grid widget.
this is your solution. it's been confirmed to be working by other members.
I'm currently using Gingerbread Sense Rom for my DHD, however the only reason I use it is for the Facebook integration, the style of the message app is nice but not dissimilar to the stock app and the rest is quite similar or easily replaceable.
Is there an app I'm not aware of that recreates the Sense functionality for non-Sense roms? Would rather use CM7 Nightlies but I do like the contacts and Facebook integration.
Though it us not very sense like, try "go contacts". It is miui like and actually very good
Sent from my glacier using XDA App
Truthfully the design doesn't bother me it's the Facebook integration (automatic pictures and statuses), the auto-linking contacts based on name etc
If you purchase Launcher Pro they have numerous "sense-like" widgets including one for contacts. There is also a free app on the Market called Photo Contracts widget that is similar.
........
Thanks, Colorize does a similar thing too but is there nothing that replicates just how integrated Facebook is with Sense UI? The official Facebook app itself is awful with contacts so I recall... It's nice to just have pictures automatically updates (SyncMyPix is fine but it to be done automatically without extra apps is far better!)
Hi chrisa86,
I'm totally with you. Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod on my Desire. Coming from a sense-based ROM, specially the Contacts App is a pain. I want my nice and clear list with links and Facebook back!
I don't mind Widgets, because I'm using Launcher Pro, but the App itself.
So far, I tried Youlu, but is it more at the stock side than on the Sense side
Unfortunately, there is nothing like the Facebook integration in Sense. And the latest Gingerbread update even went back in terms of the Facebook/Android connexions.
That's the only thing I miss from Sense ROMS actually...
Yes, I just flashed Redux rom (which is very good by the way) to try gingerbread, and I'm badly missing the HTC contacts as well.
Additionally from facebook integration, there's also something missing: the ability to type a person name's directly from the dialer (aka Smart Dial : http://www.mobisleapps.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-12-at-4.16.47-PM.png)
Any workarounds ?
Dialer One in the market has smart dial. You can set that as your default phone app.
Yep, I should have done more research before asking. I just realized that there are numerous alternative dialers.
However, to get back to the OP question, nothing like sense contacts (for facebook sync) at the moment, right ?
HI.
There is a new widget on Google play called "BlingBoard".
BlingBoard lets you monitor your emails, Facebook/Twitter feeds and your text messages (also missed calls) all from one little box on your homescreen.
So if you are looking for that kind of widget you should give it a try.
there are good reviews on "TNW" and on "Androidcommunity"
Enjoy.
Mod Edit: Here's the link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappka.blingboard
Downloaded it and would like to say...... Please make the widget have the ability to be transparent.
sweet! i'm gunna try it out right now!
+1 for transparency
there is an update (v1.20) that includes transparent theme.

Not compatible to HTC Flyer running Android 3.2.1 (Honeycomb).
This is a great idear! Here are some suggestions from me:
more widget sizes: I would like to see more content
set another App as standard Facbook/Twitter app (Friendcaster f.e.)
possibility to set if the different channels are split in tabs or sort in a timeline (from top to bottom)
also see old Mails (I can only see the new ones)
So, thank you very much for this great app and your hard work! This are only suggestions and you can ignore it. Just my thoughts...
Not compatible with Galaxy Tab 10.1
But awesome looking widget, great colors and graphics.
Galaxy S2 ICS (LPQ)
Widget installed fine and all feeds state active in settings but widget shows no feed information.
any ideas??
AWESOME
Just some feature requests:
1) Make it resizable (as requested previously)
2) Make the tabs SCROLLABLE (like Tabr)
3) Make it able to link to native apps (as also requested previously)
4) Need more themes. Perhaps you can support a freemium model via themes
Very nice, thank you, I finally uninstalled facebook and twitter application. Widget needs more settings. I would also like more tabs, like another email and rss. Furthermore, having calendar and weather tab would make this widget the ultimate one
is SMS tab only for stock SMS app ? .. i use gosms and new sms are not being recognized .. but overall .. an awesome app.
Just let me link it to any app that i prefer then this would be gold. This and fast facebook go well together, if it can be linked.

This will go well with my ICS / Xperia UI

I am having no luck getting this to work. Gmail says it connects fine but I do not see any data. Facebook just hangs and Twitter also bombs out on both my tablet and phone.
It also seems to really hate Landscape mode and is dying when I use my keyboard on the phone.
Think I will stick with Pure Messenger Widget for now. No tabs but it does get me the info I want on one widget.
Epic!
Downloaded it and its top class, nice one!
really?
tried this out and quickly deleted it after realizing:
1. you cannot re-size the widget
2. the widget is super small and only shows 1 update at a time
3. not a super big deal but no g+
4. you can't make new posts
It does look nice but looks only get you so far
Very Cool!
Whatsapp and stock mail support would be a dream... as well more widget sizes would be a fine thing!
Hi guys, I have searched around, but I have not found any conclusive answers, so I would appreciate your suggestions.
I am simply looking for a calendar widget that would essentially rest on Google Calendar BUT display things better or "more properly" that Google Calendar's own homescreen widgets...
So far I have found "Simple Calendar Widget" as an option but do people have any other recommendations? And just to re-iterate, I want something that is light does not take ram/use a lot of battery, is stable...and clean/not overly complicated to display my events from google calendar,
thank you and cheers.
I use Pure grid calendar. It can be complicated to set up but simple and theme able once set up.
Though I think its paid.,
Please dont ask questions in general
The one I use is simply called Calendar Widget. It's nice because it combines both a monthly view and an agenda view, and I really like the way it looks on my home screen.

+1 for Pure Grid Calendar, I have been using this widget for years and never had a problem! There's also many skins to choose from so you can get the look you want
My vote is for Jorte

It costs a few bucks, but is well worth it. Updated regularly and very customizable once you learn the ropes.
I use this agenda widget for all my jobs booked in - very useful for me

You dont have problems with jorte? I bought pure grid because jorte kept disappearing and I had to keep setting it up.
Long time ago. I suppose they fixed that

Personally never had a problem with Jorte, maybe I'm just lucky.
Synced FB birthdays, F1 race calendar and Arsenal fixtures all to my Google calendar, everything displays just fine. massive range or widgets (I prefer an entire homescreen to display a month calendar)
On the rare occasion I setup a manual calendar appointment, sync and reminders work ok too.
(For anybody who may have followed the play store link, just noticed the childish screenshots they use. Hope that doesn't put people off! The built in theme engine is extremely versatile, perfectly capable of looking professional as well...)
Try UpNext, used it for some days now and I like it very much.

Event Flow Calendar Widget
Thank you everyone, I will try these and let you guys know which one I personally like best. Again I am looking for something that is not so much a full fledged calendar, like Jorte is, but a widget like app that links to giggle calendar itself. And I also did read about Jorte having problems.
I really wish that PureGrid had a free trial as well. And from reviews it seems that simple calendar widget had some bugs, at least in nexus 5, but I will try all these and post results. Thanks everyone.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Thank you everyone for their input, I just wanted to say that I chose "Event Flow Widget", because it is the most beauitful I think in general and goes well the most with the Nexus 5/Kitkat theme. Of course there is a catch to their app: If you want to customize it more you have to pay $.99.
As for PureGrid Calendar - I never got to try it because it is not free, nor is there a free demo one, so it must be great given the positive feedback it has, but I can't say anything about as I was unable to try it.
Calender Widget: Month+Agenda, was very good, and the good thing is that it displays your agenda and calendar in one widget, something I do not necessarily need, but for those who do it is an excellent choice. However, I Believe that this app is also not free and I am not sure how much it costs after its 7-day trial.
Jorte: I tried Jorte and have no major complaints other than that they can update it a bit to match with the times, it should have resizable widgets. In any case I did not need a full-fledged calendar, I just needed a calendar widget, so Jorte was not really for my needs.
Calendar Widget by Milan Sillik was also impressive and nice, again, I chose Event Flow because it just looks more slick, but I believe Calendar Widget may have more options packed in both for calendar purposes and widget customization, so its a must-try. However, again, if you want to unlock all its options such as transparency settings you have to buy the Pro.
Simple Calendar Widget was ok...but I did not like it as much as the Event Flow Widget or the Calendar Widget by Milan Sillik.
UpNext Alpha: I did not try it due to a malware comment on the reviews....so...got nothing to say on this.
So yes overall winner for me is Event Flow Widget, and I also really liked Calendar Widget by Milan Sillik.
Thank you everyone
persianrisk: thanks for compliment of my app
My favorite calendar widget is of course mine - Calendar Agenda Widget - it's free, simple, beautiful and has plenty of customization options (some of them are paid). On of it's most useful features is custom reminder functionality - you can set alarm on any event, and it will ring like phone call or alarm clock at morning I think it's pretty unique on whole market.
Another good widget is my competitor Event flow CW I must admit that it looks good - maybe it's because it looks quite similar to mine widget, (looks like author was inspired by mine app - however this is my personal opinion which can be far away from true).
Got the 12.2 yesterday and quickly decide Touchwiz had to go. I decide to use an alternate launcher and setup email and calendar widgets. Lo and behold...there is no native email widget anymore! What the heck is Samsung thinking? It doesn't exist in Touchwiz or any other launcher I've tried.
I really like the email client tweaks but not tw nor magazine ux. I can't believe Sammy removed the native widget and force you to use mag-ux to see email list on home screen. Root might help because emailwidget supposedly works with root but i haven't tried it yet. I'm trying to hold off rooting until we have some more root/rom options.
Any ideas or alternatives?
Personally I like keeping my email clients separate.
My ISP uses POP, for which I currently use Aqua.
I use stock Gmail app for Gmail.
For my exchange email at work I use Touchdown HD.
What other solutions and/or recommendations are there for native email and calendar widgets?? I am using Nova Launcher, so no Mag UX for me, and therefore no widgets for email and calendar.
I use EventFlow for my agenda and calendar.
Not sure about widgets for stock email application but perhaps Android Pro Widget ?
I'm using K-9, and really pleased with it. In fact, went back and installed it on my Note 2 and Xoom (which doesn't see much use anymore.)
This is indeed the worst surprise on this tablet. I had the habit to use the great email widget on my other Sansung tablets and phones and now I discover it is not available on the Note Pro.
I've switched to Aqua mail on the advice of someone in another thread and its widgets are perfect for me. Check it out.

I'm very disappointed that they remove this. I like to have it in my Homepage with my Google Calendar and Tasks manager (GTask).
Come on Sammy, put it back !
