Anyone want to create a scrollable news/rss widget to replace HTC News widget? Any other peeps out there want to see this? I don't want to use Sense and it's my favorite widget. Have tried to no avail to find something similar and nothing comes close. The other I was looking for was a replacement for Friend Stream, and Pure Messenger fit the bill perfectly. But haven't seen a suitable 'News' alternative.
I use Newsroom Pro.

Does it have a scrollable widget that integrates all the feeds not just one? I installed the free one earlier and immediately ditched it because it didn't do this. Maybe pro does?
Can somebody point me in the direction of a contact widget like that in sense UI? I've probably downloaded about 15 different widgets and none of them have what I'm looking for. Id like to find one that pulls the contacts photo from Facebook, preferably a scrollable widget. Any ideas?
Search for Scrollable ContactWidget in the market. Or buy the plus version of Launcher Pro.
But not sure whether they would be able to grab contacts and pics from facebook.
Launcherpro Plus is the way to go. He always has good updates and he has been adding alot of widgets that if you didnt know were HTC's. Well worth the money.
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.

I'm looking for an app to show one of my bookmarks with a updated preview of the website. So that i have a web widget to show my school schedule and that it updates so i see my new schedule every day.
So i basicly have my browser as a widget on my homescreen showing a specifik website
Hope one of you out there knows an app

Hum, I was just looking for the same thing... I did some Googling but could not find anything...
Any hints?
I know the samsung galaxy s II has a shortcut or widget that shows a bookmark preview, but it's a system app, and it doesn't work when i install it as a system app / i can't see in in my app drawer..
As a reference here is a thread that had an older version with transparent widget but for months now my widget has shown 'There is a new version available' on my home screen instead of news headlines and when I try to update it says my SGS4 on stock ROM isn't compatible for the new update. It's frustrating. I've found what I think is the standard APK for the newest version but the background will be solid black as it's the stock version and I need the transparent widget. Does anyone have a link for me as I've searched and can't seem to come up with any solutions.
If I can get extra picky and it's not difficult can I request the newest Google News & Weather app with transparent widget & the sense weather icons like this version had and it's not difficult? Can someone point me in the right direction or know of anyone who can make such requests?
Thanks for reading!
