I had the Mytouch 4G, before I got this phone, and what I miss the htc sense twitter widget that came with it. It was just a box widget on your home screen with no viewable tweets, and you just tap on it and update your twitter, is it possible to move that over to the G2X? Or get it by chance? I could constantly tweet without opening twitter, but the twitter for android widget is not good at all, do not like it.

No, its not. Sense twitter requires the rosie framework which is proprietary to HTC.

Each twitter app has different widgets. I would try a few different apps and see if any have widgets you like as much or more. Tweetdeck for example has a "Post" widget that just shows the avatar for your account, a text field that you can tap to tweet, and a camera button.
Also, there are apps that let you create shortcuts directly to some portion of an application. I think both LP and ADW can. Wouldn't be as convienent as a 3rd party app widget, but you could create a shortcut that went straight to the post page in the twitter app.
Just use Launcherpro Plus.

LauncherPro Plus has a decent size Twitter and Facebook widget, but I am not using that launcher anymore, I am using DxTop , so I was wondering if anyone has developed these widgets, which allow me to view and scroll each Feed like Launcherpro Plus has.
Also if anyone has used the Mytouch slide, the slide had an awesome email widget, decent enough size to scroll up and down and view as well....if anyone can help, much appreciated

That is too small, I am using Tweetdeck for both my Twitter and Facebook Applications, but I would like a reasonable size scrolling widget for both Twitter and Facebook, most is the screen. Also what about a decent size email widget?

Pure Messenger! Very nice and scrollable (if dxtop can handle it). 4x2, 4x3, 4x4..
This was just released by an upstarter called "Big Widgets"
He plans to release a couple of 4x4 scrollable sexy looking widgets. Facez is the first to be released which is for Facebook.

Trying this out now... Thanks for the heads up
Widget looks nice and can be resized if you use ADW or LauncherPro Plus.
I'm looking for an app that allows me to post to both twitter and facebook at the same time from a widget on my home screen?
Tweet deck allows you to post to twitter and facebook at the same time but their posting widget only posts to twitter. in order to post to both you have to launch the app.
i'm looking for one where i post to both without having to launch the app.
Launcher pro has a friend widget similar to htc sense

Ya, i saw that but it doesn't allow you to make apost straight form the home screen, it just provides a feed (unless that has changed since i used .8.6)
Seesmic? Tweetcaster? I use both and I think that either of those would work.
Hey guys, is there any app/widget that shows all information (facebook, twitter, custom rss feeds, latest unread sms, emails, updates) in just one panel?
Thanks!
i think you can arrange all the widgets on your home screen in a decent order... that might get you what you want
man.. I had a launcher 1 time for that but I cant remember the name.. so this is a 'placeholder' if you will. will report back with its name, although Im not sure if a launcher is what your after. more of a HTC Friendstream widget I suppose..

Does anyone know of an app that has a widget that operated like the HTC Sense Gallery widget? I recently rooted my EVO 4G and am using CM7. I loved the ability to take photos on my phone, mark favorites, then have a 4x4 widget that let me scroll through pictures (I like to show my friends my pictures of my baby son).
Like I said, all you had to do was switch to that homescreen, swipe up or down to change picture.
I've been looking for a few days now, tried a ton of apps (JustPictures!, QuickPic, Flickr, 3DGallery, etc...) with nothing that comes close.
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I may have posted this in the wrong forum. If so, I apologize and feel free to burn me...
The closest I've seen is the photo widget on that $15 home replacement app call spb shell 3d or something. Android at its current state does not have scrollable widget support. But replacement launchers do. Something that I think android should've had before these came about.

I previously used LauncherPro which had it's own Twitter widget but now since the update I just want to keep everything stock ICS. So what are my options?
Android pro Widgets
Thanks! I will give that a go
+1 for Android Pro Widgets. I use their Timeline widget, which combines the Twitter and Facebook feeds into one feed. Love it!
APW is exactly what I was after, I went and bought the paid version. Also, the separate Google Reader widget is really useful and I like how it includes thumbnails of each news article. Good stuff! Thanks again
Is there a Twitter widget that properly integrates with the Twitter app? Same question for Facebook.

Android Pro Widgets allows opening tweets using Twitter for android (also supports Plume and Seesmic) and opening Facebook items using Facebook for android (also supports FriendCaster and Seesmic).
I'm not aware of any widget that takes its data directly from Twitter / Facebook official apps.
