Are there any of these that operate similar to the Launcher Pro scrollable widgets? Unfortunately, I can't get LP to work on Honeycomb. Looking for something free preferably, especially since I already paid for LP...
Colorize Widget will do Facebook and Twitter.
Facez is a Facebook only widget.
Both are scrollable.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966333
But do take note that Colorize Widget does not work with LP.

Can you have separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter, or is it only one widget that moves between FB/Twitter/Gmail/etc?
Does the widget have scrollable messages?
Just checked and yes you can make multiple Widgets and seperate them

+1 for Pure Messenger. It's pretty great.
...and yes it's scrollable.
Use Plume for Twitter. IMO, its great, and scrollable.

Same here.
I'm on the hunt too.
PowerTutor at hand, I found Colorize Widgets to be a battery killer.
Right now, the best solution I found to have good graphics and good battery life is... Pulse! Setting ONLY the Facebook feeds, now included by default.
Note that, the more feeds you set in there, the more battery usage increases in a crazy way.
Comparison, both 30 minutes refresh interval, screen off all the time, 1h30mins:
- Colorize Widgets : 19,4 J
- Pulse (only facebook-friend's-posts & links): 8 J
Another good battery usage solution was to use an RSS widget and setting my Facebook-friend's-posts as a feed directly. Unfortunately, no images were shown (probably guilt is the RSS reader isself).
Question: does Pure Messenger show friends photos on the widget ?

I made this thread, so that you could recommanded aps that works with your x10. Etc apps that you frequently use and so on.
I hAven't gotten mine yet, but I will probably get the same main apps as I had on the magic.
1. Gulesider( a Norwegian app, a really nice app. A easy way to find phone numbers etc. It does also show the name of the person that is calling you)
2.advanced task manager( allows you to shut down some of the apps running on your device)
3. AndFtp ( a FTP app)
4. Glance( file manager)
5. Pure calendar(a good looking calendar widget for your android phone, there is a theme for it that is transparent. Love this widget tbh)
6. Spotify
7. Yr.no (a weather widget)
8. NRK radio
9. OI File Manager/OI Notepad
10. TV Guide
11. Science facts
feel free to share some of the android Apps that you like.
Im using same apps as on the legend and hero.. Good habits are hard to change:
gulesider and yr ofcourse.
Estrong Taskmanager (my choise of taskmanager)
Estrong File Explorer
Dolphin Browser (really great browser for android)
Zedge Ringetones & wallpapers (Great selection, and ofcourse, since they're norwegian)
Weather Widgets (yr.no) - Copies the HTC flip clock (Which I love !)
Battery Graph - nothing like analyzing that battery drain!
SuperDial for faster contacts lookup.

first of all, it is called Spotify
and yes it does exist for the android platform
And I would say that it works better than the one for the iPhone. I can't really say anything about the symbian version, since I have never had a symbian phone. And probably will never have, since I do not like that OS....
So, here's my list:
Advanced Task Killer
Battery Time Lite
Spotify - Rocks
Reader widget - Excellent for my google reader-feeds
Scoreboard - Football scores
Calwidget - Nice widget for my calendar
Handcent SMS - Brilliant SMS app
aTAKEphone - Nice phone/dialer-ap
YR.no widget - Weather widget
mVideoPlayer - Handy video player
ASTRO - Excellent file browser
FlashLightApp - widget using camera light
Apps Organizer - Quite useful with widgets for labels
Barcode Scanner - Scann app-barcodes
FotMob - Excellent football-app
FxCamera - Fun camera app
GPS Logger - Logs your GPS-position to file - can be used to geotag your SLR-shots for example
Gule Sider - norwegian national phone book
Locale - Auto-change settings based on location
PdaNet - Tether
StopWatch - you got it
TV Guide - Norwegian tv guide
Zedge - wallpapers and ring tones
bloo - facebook application that actually gives you notifications on useful things like comments on posts. The official android facebook app cannot do this.
I've got a new one to add:
NewsRoom
A wonderful take on the typical RSS reader, this app allows access to RSS feeds as preview pages, which you can flip through and select for full articles. Much more complete and interactive than a typical text-list layout of most RSS readers.
Weather Widget ( now called Weather & Toggle)- HTC Clock/weather widget and system toggle widgets. Is also skinable.
Weather Widget Weather addon- Adds a weather forcast when you tap on the weathr icon on the clock.
Handcent- Best SMS app
Astro- Awesome File explorer AND taskkiller ( many don't know that it has a great task killer included)
FlashLightApp- A one button on/off widget to turn our camra light on or off.
GPRS Monitor- Monitors data usage
Pure Grid Calander- Mimics the HTC calander widget
Sportstap- Best sports updates, scores, news, even notifications.
OperaMini5- Web Browser
Aldiko- Ebook reader
WiFinder- WiFi finder
HelixLauncher- A home replacment option that offers customixable Home options. have up to 7 screens, adds 4 "buttons" to the app drawer slider on the home screen, double tap home screen to see min versions of all other screens. This is the best Home option out there.
HTC_IME-hi keryboard- My favorite Keyboard by far.
Swype- Yes, I'm jumping on the Swype bandwagon and trying it out. Takes a bit to get used to but is a very smart keyboard for predctions. Rarley gets my input wrong and is faser then tapping. I'm still on the fence about using it full time as my text input.
I'm now adding swype too.... its possibly the cleverest and definitely most innovative app ive seen on a phone in some time.
I started off with SlideIT and have been using Swype for a few days now..
It's definitely a much nicer looking UI... but I reckon that SlideIT is actually more acurate, quicker and easier to manage??....
SyncMyPix - a pretty good app to add the picture from your facebookcontacts to your phone contacts!
I found that weather and toggle seemed to be sucking juice out of my battery... what's your battery life like?

You most likely have the app checking for weather updates too often, set it to something like 6 hours (how quick does weather really change).

Hi,
Do you know any weather app that does not have running service?
Yes, weather forecast app that can pull data "manually" ...
No need periodic / interval update ...
Widget is not necessary either ...
Moved to Q&A BW, Fancy widget, and even the default news and weather app has this I believe
Most have these "features" and I don't really like that either. I've noticed that most of them will let you change the frequency that they pull info. Some down to 12 hours.
Fancy widget has lots of refresh options. One of them being to only refresh weather manually.
Thanks for all the suggestions. At the end, I ended up with (again) Beautiful Widget 1x1 (I already bought this when I use HTC Desire).
The reason that I want to find this kind of weather app, because I want to limit the number of running (background) services.
So, I replaced the Beautiful Widget Home widget with "simiClock" because it is simple, elegant and uses black background (save battery life).
simiClock has weather info as well ... But it does not have forecast.
That's why I was looking for weather app which can be activated (launched) when I press the simiClock weather.
But, it seems I cannot find one ... The one with update/interval can be controlled (I am not weather obsessive guy, so manual update is the best for me).
At the end, I am back with Beautiful widget weather 1x1 ... until I found a nice weather forecast app to launch from simiClock
I purchased the Weatherbug Elite. It has the options to turn off the background processing and only grab weather data when you run the app.
it's unfortunate, but i'm running into the same situation
i want to disable the back ground processing of the weather app that i like, but the app doesn't have such a feature/option
the app is supplied directly from The Weather Network, and it's very accurate, all the other apps that i've tried before are not so great
Try WeatherPro, best weather app imo
try Fancy widget... you'll love it! great app
Moxier World is by far the best I've found.
It updates either automatically or manually.
It also shows local time and weather in as many world locations as you need. It has 5 days forecast for each.

Try this out. It has an option to set update interval (or disable update entirely)
What are the best Calendar 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!
LaucherPro!
Plus version has a calendar, contacts ans sms widget
PowerNote for notes and widget, has a nice UI
Smart ShortCuts creates shortcuts of apps by catergory
BuzzBox for news!
Beautiful Widgets! Has a niiice weather unlock animation and a clock with themes.
That's all I can tell as for the best in my opinion...
Cheers!

Smooth Calendar
Small simple and it works

Back again, just tried business calender beta. Nice app. but in my opinion Jorte is much better: more readable textiel in week view for example.
Pure Calender Widget
Pure Calender Widget, costs about € 0,79, but it works nice, very much functions, sizes, etc. I'm working with it for a long time now, and the dev is answering and trying to help if something comes up...

Jorte by far.. LOVE the look and teh fact it has just about every widget size you can imagine
Android Agenda Widget is a nice scrollable agenda widget. It has a mind-boggling array of settings and potential customizations to make it look just how you want.
Jorge gets my vote. Great Widgets and settings.

i found jorte to be giving too many options to customize, which suits every screen
Do you have .apk file for Jorte?
edit: ok now ive got .apk file thanks you

Really nice, hadn't found about this one yet
I like Pure Grid Calendar Widget for a nice customisable calendar style widget. The only thing that would make it better is if you could switch between an agenda view and calendar, like the Launcher Pro Plus widget.
Oh yeah, and it costs €1.49
I like the stock widget, but it's too small and I'd really like something different until 3.1 comes out.
I need a Calendar widget that:
looks great on honeycomb
can be resized (or at least be large)
strong customization
Also, I don't mind paying for it. Does anyone have a recommendation?
I use Agenda Widget Plus and I love it! It's scrollable and has lots of customization potential, although it is tedious to customize.

Android Agenda Widget.. its free too
Pure calendar widget.
+1 for Android Adgenda Widget. Still seems a little small at it's max size, but I love it on my Evo, and certainly a step up from the stock one.
Small? Odd.. I'm using the 2x4 widget on my TF home screen and its plenty big enough
Jorte is a really nice Calender with various widgets.

I like Business Calendar
I switched from Smooth Calendar to Jorte to BUsiness Calendar and now stopped at Colorize Widgets. It shows both a monthly calendar and agenda type calendar. happy with it and its free.
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)

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.
