I'm looking for a facebook widget similar to what Friendstream offers. I have yet to find a scrolling widget that doesn't show the farmville spam. LauncherPro's widget shows the spam. I'd love to check out some AOSP roms, but without an alternative to FriendStream, I just can't make the jump.....
You could try pure messenger widget. It provides a similar function and is very customisable. However, that does make it hard to setup in the way that you want it to be.

When I had problem with the farmville spam showing up on my tweetdeck timeline, I went to facebook and explicitly disabled the farmville notifications from the timeline by clicking on the little "x" on the notification and choosing "hide" or something. After I did that it stopped showing up on tweetdeck and facebook.
So, maybe it isn't something with the widget or app, but something you should disable from the facebook website.

Android: I'd like a smaller (not 8 spaces, maybe a small 4 spacer) Facebook widget that I can update my status on without seeing others' statuses roll by. Is this available?
Also, I'm new to foursquare, and I'd rather not scroll down my list to open up the app, click over to location, and check in. Any widget with a quick checkin?
I am quite confused at this time in technology we can't have the incons for emails show how many messages are available for individual accounts. I don't mean gmail but exchange etc. HTC does this for sense. Are there any roms that do this or something i am missing here? its ridiculous.
anyone know anything?
I would love to have some suggestions to this, too.
The included email app has this functionality to some extent. But, it only seems to works if you put in a shortcut to the entire inbox, and not individual accounts. Looks like the functionality goes away if you use another launcher.
And gmail's latest version doesn't allow 3rd party apps access to that information. So, the couple apps and launchers that used to give an unread counter for gmail, don't anymore.
Maybe try another 3rd party email client?
I tried a few 3rd party Apps. No go

"Enhanced Email" the app will allow a desktop widget that shows you how many unread emails you have.
You can also add the widget to your lock screen using Widgetlocker as the lockscreen app.
So I don't have to log into my phone to see how many unread emails I have. I simply press my power button and look at the lock screen..

..features similar to the widget that came with LauncherPro.
I have LauncherPro Plus but prefer Nova for my GNEX & N7.
I'm currently using TweetCaster, but HATE HATE HATE the fact that I can scroll thru the tweets, but clicking on a tweet with a link or anything else, just opens TweetCaster and then I have to scroll down and look for the tweet I was reading.
Basically I want a Twitter widget (If it exists) that I can place on a homescreen, scroll thru the tweets on my homescreen, and when I click a link, opens up in the browser of my choosing.
Is there a widget that does this??
So i've been using APW for ages, but i've grown tired of the sluggish widget and old-ish user interface (as well as a recent bug on my s4 that shows a blank page when opening tweets).
I've been looking for another app with a combined & scrollable facebook & twitter widget and have come up short. I have tried these:
Hootsuite: Looks really nice, but only seperate Facebook & Twitter widgets (Same widget, but i can only select either fb or twitter)
Seesmic: Just a 4x1 widget and seperate twitter & facebook.
Scope: No widgets at all.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I am in the same situation and found Wizz Widget but even the Pro version (which I bought over Amazon) doesn't work reliable and the developer doesn't respond.
I would like to see another alternative.

I really miss having a widget that showed Fbook and twitter feeds. I used to use pure messenger but I heard Fbook isn't supported anymore. Any other options out there? Tks
