where are the note apps with 4x4 widgets to browse notes?
all i need in the app / widget:-
syncs to the cloud (pref google docs, evernote, simplenote)
has a large (4x4) widget that i can view a notes list and individual notes, edit, and add new
and that's it, would be like to have a nice UI, check boxes, images, links, but plaintext would do
EDIT
the closest i have found is springpad, has sync and a 4x4 widget, but the widget doesn't allow a notes view, just a ist view..

So we have plenty of good quality widgets for calendars and tasks. but where are the notes widgets.
my requirements:-
syncs to the cloud (pref google docs, evernote, simplenote)
has a large (4x4) widget that i can view a notes list and individual notes, edit, and add new
and that's it, would be like to have a nice UI, check boxes, images, links, but plaintext would do
the apps i tried and why they didn't work for me:-
mobisle notes, widget too small (2x2), widget cannot open app, so need extra shortut (syncs google docs)
notepad with sync, no widget, (syncs with helipad)
evernote, widget just add edits searches, (syncs with evernote)
catch notes, widget just add edits searches, (syncs with catch)
andronoter, widget just add edits searches, (synch with simplenote)
mnote, no widget, (syncs with simplenote)
flick notes, no widget, (syncs with simplenote)
aknotepad, no widget, (syncs with catch.com)
note everything, no sync, widget just add edits searches
colornote, no sync, widget just shows titles of notes
bugmelite, no sync, widget just add edits searches
springpad is the closest to my needs, has a 4x4 widget and syncs to springpadit.com, but cannot view notes in the widget, so near...
So do you know for an app which has just these 2 simple requirements?
Are there any apps in the market that will let you have:
A transparent calander widget.
A photo grid where I can view multiple photos as a widget.
A transparent RSS news feed where I can insert multiple feeds.
I know that if these widgets/apps exists, I will have to pay for them, and I don't mind.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Assuming you want an agenda list rather than a month-view calendar, here are the ones I've tried:
PureCalendar Agenda (non-free): Very full featured - you pick the theme, colors, transparency level, and which calendars you want displayed.
Colorize Widget (free): A series of transparent widgets for things, including calendar. Pretty nice
QuickAgenda (free): Very lightweight and simple agenda widget
I have actually bought all the "Pure ____ widgets", of which Se7enLC recommendes the calendar. I recommended it, it's really worth the 1 dollar it costs.. There's also a "pure news widget", which could be the RSS-widget you want. It reads your RSS-feeds from google reader.
Both pure calendar and pure news widgets are skinnable, i.e. you can have calendar and RSS/news with identical graphical design..
EDIT: and yeah, they can both be skinned to be transparent..
As you already know, the Sense Bookmarks Widget only arranges the bookmarks as you add them. If you would like to arrange your bookmarks alphabetically in the widget, there are couple apps I found that work well.

I've used APW Widgets for the past year. For the most part the widgets are straight-forward and easy to customize. I use the APW widgets for bookmarks, calendar, contacts, Facebook and Twitter. Most of them work fine. Nothing fancy, just basic functionality.
As has been well-documented on the APW Play Store page, though, several times Google has updated Chrome in a way that "breaks" APW bookmark widget for Chrome. Before the Chrome update -- Chrome bookmarks appear as either thumbnails or a list in the APW widget. They are properly sorted and easy to search. After the Chrome update -- blank. No widgets for Chrome. This has happened at least twice that I know of, including right now.
This is inconvenient but hey, I'll just use a different widget for Chrome bookmarks. Not so fast. ASAIK there ISN'T one, or at least there isn't a good one. Google's bookmark widget for Chrome is shockingly bad. Ugly, inconsistent, poorly conceived. Every other Chrome bookmarks widget I've found is either ridiculously labor-intensive (add each bookmark manually!) or so poorly designed as to make them non-functional (such as pulling all of your Chrome bookmarks out of folders and making one long unsorted list of hundreds of bookmarks).
Ideally the APW widget dev would update his stuff. If not that then surely there must be ONE decent bookmark app for Chrome bookmarks. Just give me the ability to place a widget on a screen, resize it as I see fit, give me the ability to sync with my main Chrome bookmarks and show them sorted the way they are. Seems crazy that this is so hard to find.
I normally use FeedR; it is the only widget that gives me news headings from one feed on the face of the widget AND the abiility to side-scroll via arrows through different feeds. Since YEARS I have been in search of a better looking widget that offers the same functionality.
I did come across two such widgets: one is Yandex RSS widget, and the other is Sony RSS Small App. Both do not work with Nova Launcher.
All the other RSS widgets I see offer just a single feed, or worse, a mishmash of feeds. Does anyone know of a good looking RSS widget (not reader) that provides this functionality?
