In the google IO release on HoneyComb 3.1 is stated that there will be resizable widgets...
Anyone know how to do it? or is it not available for 3.1 Xoom Wifi?
You can't do it with everything, as I've wondered this too. I've gotten to do it with Gmail, and a few others. Just long press on the Gmail widget, and you'll see arrows that appear to let you resize the widget.
the widgets themselves have to support being resized , am sure there will be lots to choose from soon.

I can't seem to find any good quality scrollable widgets. I realize most home screens do not support this, but it appears that Launcher Pro Beta does have the option to enable scrollable widgets now.
There are a few applications that I think would be VERY useful with scrollable widgets and wondering if anyone has run across these or any developers that would want to take on this project.
1. Calender application. A scrollable calender (Android Agenda Widget?) would be awesome.
2. An application dock that allows you to scroll through an application list.
Any ideas as to why these things have been developed or if people are working on them?
Email/SMS/Facebook/Twitter scrollable widgets would also be useful.
I'd like to know of one scrollable widget so I could test it out tbh
Pure Messenger widget supports scrolling.
Yeah I hope development picks up on this for sure. Pure messenger is pretty sick.... But it needs friends!
Agenda, contacts, google reader ap anyone?

did you try sliding the launcherpro "dock" to the side already? don't if that's what you want
I do like the new dock on the bottom and how you can add more shortcuts.
And like Trill said, a google RSS reader with a scrollable widget would be amazing. Or how about a slickdeals scrollable widget. Or sports scores scrollable widget. Soooo many options!
I suppose you could use Flyscreen for all of that... Although it seems to cause more delays unlocking the more widgets are loaded.
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.

WhatsApp does not allow external applications to access messages. We have sent them an email about it.
Excellent work!
Just installed, gave it a whirl for 5 minutes and paid for licence.
Tip top.
Thanks
EDIT: Stock email and RSS news widgets would be great for a future release.

Very very good.
I would just ask for losing the text shadows. Or adding an option.
And if cause, a news rss widget.
Have already uninstalled Colorize

People judge by the default theme instead of the actual functionality.
Just check the 'Use Thin Frame' and suddenly it won't look like LP.
Lets take the people widget as an example
APW shows Facebook pictures of contacts.
APW allows you to change click action to direct dial or direct message (even for each contact separately).
APW can sort contacts by frequently called first (In the paid version it even allows custom order and creation of custom groups).
APW can show contacts also in a list view.
It is true that LP widgets have their advantages like month flipping in the calendar and generally they behave much better on Launcher Pro
(Note: Launcher pro only support an old scrollable widgets API so any scrollable widget except for LP's own is not as slick as it could be).
We have absolutely nothing against Launcher Pro, it is a great launcher !
You are all free to try both
'use thin frame' should be enabled by default.

Do you plan to implement notifications with read, unread, mark all as read etc. options like colorize widgets have?
Edit: colorize widgets doesn't have this option. I remeber seing it somewhere but I can't remeber where.

Ok, this probably needs to be moved to G2x Q&A. Sorry about that.
Hey all. A bit frustrated with twitter clients because I have two twitter accounts and I was looking for one app to optimize both. I love the Plume scrollable widget, but it doesn't separate tweets well for multiple accounts (i.e. - each in its own widget).
For some reason, the scrollable widget in Tweetcaster has worked only a couple of times - that is, I've placed it on my home screen, physically scrolled it and saw it work. That was... Awhile ago. I desperately want the scroll widget to work because there's no sense in using more than one app if one does what I need. Now when I select one of the three options, I don't get a scrollable widget at all. I've tried it under multiple conditions, and I've either been using the stock, Hellfire Phoenix ROM, with no custom launcher, Launcher Pro, and most preferably GO Launcher. Scrollable widgets option is on and operational because Plume's widget works without fail.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
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.
