Smooth calendar or grid cagebdar are neat. 3g watchdog (monitors your data usage) and apn Droid (disables and enables 3g data) are both useful if your data plan isn't unlimited. And genie widget is also quite good and has a nice app to go with it (news add weather) though you'll have to Google that one as it isn't on the market.​

any suggestions for Messeage widget?Mail Widget? and Photo album widget?

Try Pure Messenger for the message/mail/texts

suggestion: what about turning this thread into a widget collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject? this is not the oldest thread on the subject, but the one with the most generic subject and maybe it could be turned into the last of it's kind...

I like the Ted Zkeletal clock widget, it's a nice change. It is quite large though.

Hi, anyone.
I am the first user of Android. Can anyone help me how to enable Fancy Widget on my Xperia X10?
Thank you.

you download from the market, then add the widget by long pressing the screen? of course you need to have sufficient space for it.

What version did you use? I just download 1.8 and the weather icon doesn't show up....

Friendstream replacement for AOSP ROMs?

This is the only thing that I've been missing since moving from a Sense ROM/launcher.
Does a nice scrollable widget exist that's similar to the stock Friendstream one?
EDIT: I've tried out Socialite, but it seems to never sync properly and eventually force closes on the CyanogenMod nightly builds.

I miss it too.

Try Pure Messenger Widget.

EDIT: I was just too tired to realize what I was doing incorrectly. Trying to get a widget setup that looks decent.
All of the different variants of the Sense style widgets look really "off" for some reason. Looking further, it's definitely the pictures, as they trail a bit off the left side of the widget. (See pic)
I'm also not fond of the left/right arrows on the widget. I only set up FB, so I don't need non-working buttons.

Pure Messenger will make you forget Friend Stream every existed.

Use the scrollable version with ADW/LauncherPro. It is better than FriendStream.
Like so:

Nice setup TheBiles.
PureMessenger > friendstream with the ability to use skins, add email and sms along with twitter and FB to stream, ability to select preferred clients for clicked feed, and oodles of config settings in a nice scrollable UI with ADW or launcherPRO. Well worth a buck-fifty.

I wouldn't consider Pure messenger better than Friendstream myself.
It's nice... but sadly needs a few fixes in my opinion
1) Won't display 'mobile upload' picture notifications properly. It only shows 1 picture in the internal viewer with no way to go directly to the person's photo list.
2) Pictures display as filenames in the list view, rather than the actual thumbnail as sense does. (This might be considered user preference, but I'd prefer to see a picture rather than <randomwords>.jpg )
3) No support for built in HTC applications for Facebook nor Twitter (aka peep). While the internal viewer can be dismissed in favor of a real 'app', the selection is limited to bout 3-6 apps none of which are the built in parts of HTC's rom. (Of course if you're not using HTC roms then this isn't problem
Overall it's a great app, and the best out there I've seen, don't get me wrong.. but Friendstream still has the edge in actual functionality for basic use. Sure, No themes, lack of customization hurt, but when it comes down to using the product for what it's intended for (Keeping up with posts/photos from your friends) it has a few issues IMO.

Had a chance to play with Pure Messenger Widget a bit more today.
Overall it seems "ok" but lacking in some ways as well. You can't post directly from the widget, which is a huge strike against it. I want the widget so I don't have to clutter my homescreens with redundant apps.
Guess I accidentally went past my 24 hours so I am the proud owner, or some such thing.

I'm using the scrollable widget currently, and like I said, it's neat to watch updates, but it's a killer that I don't see an obvious way to post anything to FB/Twitter through the widget, instead I'm forced to use the app.
It just feels "clunky" for lack of a better term.
I will say that the widgets can be set up to look better, it just seems that some of the skins are definitely not ones any OCD person would want to use.

It's Launcher Pro. I'm using the Froyo wide dock (in settings) and just setting up normal apps and using the Launcher Pro icons for them.
I like how it looks with a nice black/white theme.

Erm. You just click that little star, and select "update status." You never have to open the official apps. You can also click that little arrow and select "open Facebook" so you don't ever need an icon on the screen in the first place.

Where did you get that toolbar at the bottom. It looks a lot like mine but with a few more icons. Is that a 4g between the wireless and sat?

That's Extended Controls. The second icon is the Froyo hotspot toggle, but it does have a 4G toggle option. I just don't have it on there because 4G doesn't work with CyanogenMod at the moment.

Well crap, it looks as though I'd always been fat-fingering the arrow and only saw the "open Facebook" link in there.
I recant my previous statements and accept that this is a damn fine alternative to Friendstream. (after a little getting used to)

The only issue that I have with Pure Messenger is this: When a FB contact posts something on someones' wall it doesn't show who the other person is, even if the other person is one of your contacts it doesn't show.

Got socialite running on newest cyanogen nightly. Its pretty nice really, I actually like it better than friend stream.

Anyone else use MultIcon?

I found this on the AppBrain:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.h9kdroid.multicon
MultIcon it's called.
Very cool concept where you can place four icons in the space of one widget. Each is completely functional. pretty much to me meant a cleaner interface and 4x as many icons/widgets to place in 1/4 the space.
Just figured I'd put it out there for anyone else who might be interested.

yep been using it a few days pretty cool..i only use 1 ( 4 mini icons in 1) I dont wanna have millions of icons bunched up either lol..but 1 multi widget helped give me those extra couple of apps i needed on my screen

been using it for a couple of days also, been working great. I wish it would support widgets, but i am not going to complain. I recommend it

Whatcha' talkin' about willis? it supports widgets, three of the 8 in the left hand-side multicon I use are widgets.
You try to assign any?

i have almost all my apps in multicon form lol

Nice, I'll have to try this out.

nice, thanks for the tip.

There is no icon for 4G or GPS. I hope they fix this soon.

I've used this before, sometimes I ask this myself if it would be using just a teensy bit of the battery because its a widget? Sorry if it sounds like a noob question, but that's something I want to know.

More Icons Widget has been out for a very long time and does the same thing, its a great little app. Haven't tried this one out though. Hopefully its as good.

Great app. Been using it since it came out and did 4 icons only. Now you can do 3x4 (12 icons) in a 1x1 space. Only thing I would like added is a way to save your configuration. Pain to setup all my icons again after a wipe and new rom.

If you use TI Backup to backup your programs including MultiICon, it will restore fine on any new ROM. I just did it.

I've been pairing this one with QuickDesk.
Now I double tap the Home button, a drawer slides out, and every txt and voice number I call on a regular basis are all in one spot. Something like 25+ icons all in one place, without cluttering my home screens. Saves a ton of time instead of digging through the phone book over and over.

Yep, it's a fantastic app, keep spreading the word!

Similar app!
I had an app widget that would go across the hole screen and it would fit a lot of apps but i forget what it was called. Maybe it's this app in fact.. not sure until i try this out

Was it Launch-X? With Launch-X, you can squeeze 2 rows of icons @ 7 icons per row where normally you have 4 icons wide. You can backup all your different rows too.
Launch-X Pro - free version available too
I use a combination of Launch-X Pro and MultIcon.

looks similar and better maybe the one i use to have was an older version thank you for the info im downloading it now!

Has anyone stumbled across a similar app that does the same thing only horizontally? This works great for my home screen (1 HTC flip clock + 12 icons) but would like to be able to do 5 across on other screens. The 4x(any number) is generally either too big, too small, or oddly spaced...

Can you elaborate? Whenever I restore from Titanium, my homescreen shows dead icons in place of all my multicons & I have to delete these placeholders & create new multicon widgets. When I create a new MI widget, it randomly restores some of my previously configured widgets but never all of them. Sometimes it will restore a very old widget that I haven't used in some time. Either way, I have no control over it & always have to reconfigure some from scratch.

Been using this forever man, I love it! I usually use 3 rows by 2 columns. I like ease and accesibility, and this widget app puts so much more at my fingertips.

[Q] Change wallpaper?

Is there a way to change the wallpaper or colours or themes all at once on Xperia X10 (UI, Timescape, Mediascape)?
I hate having a green wallpaper on UI and then using Sony Ericsson's blue dialer, messenges manager, Mediascape or Timescape...
Is there a way?

THIS might help to get you started.

Hi - You can change the wallpaper easily... and you can download apps to replace many of the standard things, which you can often change the backgrounds colours etc on.....
however, if you really want to get under the skin of your phone, and have some technical skills.. then follow the link in the post above.. if you don't have a tech background.. beware.. in can be a bit scary!

I use meridian for my vids, mixzing for music, just pictures for pics and handcent for sms.
Have not found a decent phonebook yet, they are either too complex for my needs, or simply crap.

Handscent SMS - you can customise this a lot!

I meant apps to change themes and wallpapers all over Xperia X10. Modifying everything including SE dialer, messenger, Mediascape and Timescape...

You'll need to check out the link that XperiaX10iUser posted for that. Or check out chewitts Dark10 series, as these are pretty complete so you can see everything that is being modified.
You'll get 3rd party apps to change the wallpaper, but these won't be able to change the Timescape or Mediascape background. It would be possible to write an app to do this, or if you had the modified backgrounds you could maybe use something like ninjamorph to update the background files. I'm not sure if Mediascape would update immediately or after a reboot, and for timescape you would need to go into the themes and reselect the current theme...
Long story short It would be possible to change the wallpaper, ms and ts backgrounds using an app but there isn't currently one (and probably won't be untill 2.1 is out for the X10, I know I won't be doing anything major with ms and ts until the next version is available). You could do it with ninjamorph but you need to copy each file individually.
I pretty much just settle on a theme for a while and if I want a change then I connect my phone to my PC and run a batch to update the theme with adb.
Hope this clears things up, rather than confusing things

[App] Hubs Widget | easy Hub Layout for Tablets

Hi there,
I was very impressed of the (original) Hub Layout from this Thread.
But after installing a new ROM I was depressed to redo the whole process over and over with every full wipe again.
Therefore the idea was born to implement the whole idea in ONE Widget and not so many single Widgets. (Note that my implementation is based on the layout done with Launcher actions and Minimalistic Text Widget.)
I started to develop and presented it already in a german android board but now time has come to show you my work.
Hubs Widget 0.5
Current Features:
One configurable widget for all hubs
Horizontal Widget
Global configuration for colors, text etc.
Configurable number of hubs
Direct click for goto page for Nova Launcher jumpto action (no overlapping of widgets anymore!)
At the moment a fixed proportion active/inactive hub of 3/2 (good to know when using the overlap approach)
Issues:
Widget size not properly defined (need some assistance eventually), but can be resized
Sometimes crashes when choosing number of hubs (under investigation)
you tell me...
Planned Features:
configurable fonts (tricky, size and color will come definately)
configurable active/inactive hub proportion
contact ADW and Apex devs to implement direct widget clicking for them too (if already possible via intent to go to a specific screen please let me know)
you tell me...
Download
Version 0.5
Version 0.4
Addon
Transparent Icon theme (for "goto screen" icons) for Apex Launcher
ApexTransparentActionsIconPack1.0
(ADW in progress, help is welcome)
Your feedback and questions are welcome. I will definately work on this in the future until I am satisfied but I cannot tell you how fast the future releases will come.
Regards
David

Great idea! I hope this is still being developed, it would save a lot of people a lot of time not having to redo their hubs every time they wipe

Oh wow, finally some feedback. I was planning to release it in the market, but in the last weeks I had no time to develop.
At the moment I have a version on my tablet that does everything I want therefore I will only look into more features if there is spare time or some request. I will build the actual version an update this thread in a few minutes, so you can try the new version if you want (it has direct support for Nova Launcher without using some buttons underneath the widget as well as an horizontal version) edit: ok just saw I published the nova version already here. so just horizontal widget in the new version. But if you have any other request I can eventually do it for you.
Thank you for your feedback!

oh my god,always miss this.i really liked the hubs on my previous tablets,but after honeycomb days i stopped use them due to the loss on rom flash..and i flash roms so often that i decided to not do hubs anymore.
Now it seems you did a great job,i want to try this tomorrow and sure i'll post here my impression.thanks for this,a very good idea\potential

Apex support would be my main request atm, but I am guessing that is more in their hands than yours? Would rather not have to use Nova since I bought and set up Apex exactly how I like.
I notice horizontal support was added to the OP since I tried out 0.4 last night, that was my only other request! Don't have my tablet on me atm but other than the resizing issue this seems pretty well ideal for release.
You should definitely spread the word on the individual forums for each tablet because I only came across this thread through google.

Yes the Apex thing is more on their side. I will look into it again and check if it works in the current version or ask them to integrate a possibility like nova did.
I thought it a bit odd to advertise my own app in so many threads about hubs.. But you are right, I should do it to spread the word.

you need to explain a little the use of this. I have Nova installed, but.. no idea how to use.
I just get a widget on the screen, I cannot click on any button (nothing happens)
EDIT: Got it! just being stupid and not reading the initial thread.
EDIT2: I think there is an error: I have set up 5 or 7 screens, and the second button takes me to the third, the third to the forth and so on....
EDIT3: I actually works with 5. So I have no idea if the problem is hubs widget or multiple live screen wallpaper or either the launcher. Maybe somebody else can investigate (I am using Nova, as I mentioned).

Will look into it at the weekend (no time today, sorry). Should be an error on my side. I tested only with 5.

there is one more thing. at the moment, you can practically have one widget. I mean, if I want one widget that shows something and the second to show something else, it is not possible (for example, in the Entertainment hub, from the entertainment 'box' there is another Hub widget, that has different names (categories)).

Hi,
I could solve the problem with more than 5 screens when temporarily assigning a different screennumber to each hub that links to the wrong screen. But i had not the time to fix it in the code.
The other thing, yes actually all widgets have the same layout. I should possibly allow hub groups or something. I will work on it for future versions.

i really like this app.hope in future updates when you have times!thnaks for the work!

Hey Guys,
I've got good and bad news.
Bad news is, ther won't be an update for some time now. Good news is, I have some great ideas that I want to implement which will offer a lot more flexibility in the look of the widgets. However I have to almost completely rewrite the code to make it work this way. I don't know how long it will take and how my time for this will be in the future. But there will be some great updates in the future.
Thanks
David
