Ok so there are a few PSN widgets on the market none of them really take the cake. The one I have now is my favorit with just a few flaws. First I have PSN Friends Widget, its a great widget that if you go pro it will even send you notifications when a friend signs in to PSN. My biggest grip is that its an odd size widget its a 2x2 and its ugly lol. It does what it should very well but it is ugly. I am going to hit up the developer to see if he will make some skins.
Lets talk PSN dream widget maybe someone could develop and Id be more then happy to donate. Ok so for starters the widget needs to come in more then one size. Like say 4x2 would be perfect. Second, it needs skins. Third, it needs to have settings that allow you to let it sync similar to the weather, as in you can set your time intervals according to how you want it. anywhere from 15mins to 6hrs. You get the point. Lastly it would be great if we could get a notifications in the notification bar whenever someone signs in to PSN. OH and one more thing, the PSN friends widget when you click it has a pop out window that has an option for settings refresh and buy the pro version. I think it would be better if the widget its self was scrollable and then those type of obtions lay at the bottom of the scroll.
The PSN Friends widget does all the above except it doesnt have skins and it doesnt do diffrent sizes and ADW breaks it when it tries some odd sizes.

0.9.3-Beta now on market, various fixes to update logic and import/export ics files.
Multi row widgets now allow you to choose the top row and show upcoming for the others (settings->widget->event mode->chosen top, others upcoming).
Choose a row by opening the Quick Agenda, tap and hold then press "choose event"
I was looking for something to replace Smooth Calendar widget and after I tested few other, I tested Quick Agenda.
It was a litle pain to understand how to configure it, but after I managed to set it, I have to say that it is the agenda widget I was looking for!
It is working very good in my system (look at my sig ).
Feedback left on Android Market (John - Apl 17)...
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it!
Any suggestions on what I can do to make the setup easier to understand? (e.g. what did you have trouble with?)
Hard to make suggestions as I'm starting to get used to the settings...
Meanwhile, I think I found a little bug: I had four appointments for tomorrow and using the left side panel (Quick Agenda) I changed the day to April 20.
The display was refreshed ok after a minute.
After that, using again the Quick Agenda menu, I changed the dates again to April 23, but the displaying appointments were not refreshed (they were on April 20).
So, Quick Agenda had the 4 appointments showing on April 23 but the main widget menu was showing them on April 20 (when I clicked on each one to edit, the date was on April 20).
After I opened the settings menu for widget and for Quick Agenda and closed it, the display was corrected to April 23.
Something else I want to ask for, if it is possible to select a span for the days ahead which is going to be displayed in widget (e.g. only the following 3 days, etc.)
Thanks in advance
So you would like the widget to refresh when one of the events on it changes? Should be possible!
Span of days is pretty easy as well.

Maybe would be a good idea to have a service running in the background to make possible to change immediately the widget contents when an event changes or in an addition/deletion of an event (in Smooth Calendar there was the selection of auto update (for the widget) which started the background service)

Yep, an ugly content observer doing something its not supposed to the background is the way I will be doing it
Should get to it later this afternoon or tomorrow, I will try to make it steal as few resources as possible!

Done, this new setting is available in market (along with the "event look ahead"/span of days feature and other enhancements). It is sort of hidden in customize widget->update settings->Refresh on change (at the bottom).
Let me know how it goes!

I'm going to test it and tell you how it goes
Early first impressions
After installing new beta, I have to remove old widget and set all over a new one
The worse: I was almost done with my settings and I was in Quick Agenda's setting page. I pressed the bottom selection ('Widget setting') and I had Force Close
Every time I press the above selection it gives Force Close (the message it gives is:
"The application QuickAgenda (process com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagendatrial) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Oh no! Sorry about your settings, I will be adding a restore feature soon to load settings from other widgets (I should probably add tis function first next time).
I think I have fixed the widget settings button (uploaded a new version to the market just before). Does it fix fit?
EDIT: PM'ed you my email address, maybe we can recover the prefs
Ok I got your pm.
I'm going to send you an email in a few minutes...
This app is getting close to release time, check it out while it is free!
Recent changes:
Save/Load widget settings
rejigged the settings some more
changed the default view to be upcoming and chosen
Layout upgrades
I realized yesterday, that I think this app has an identity crisis.
Its not quite a popup agenda app
Its not quite an agenda widget app
Its not quite a count down widget app
Its not quite an ical handler app
It has all these functions though they are all muddle together.
The 2nd and 3rd are easy, remove the "single row" option from the current widget and make another widget called "countdown". But this could also be a separate application.
The first one is hard. I could release Quick Agenda as just the agenda popup and allow other applications (such as a new countdown widget app or new agenda widget app) to interface with it or I could leave it built in to this weird Frankenstein app I have already created.
The last one should be in all my apps
Any opinions?
I am quite confused at this time in technology we can't have the incons for emails show how many messages are available for individual accounts. I don't mean gmail but exchange etc. HTC does this for sense. Are there any roms that do this or something i am missing here? its ridiculous.
anyone know anything?
I would love to have some suggestions to this, too.
The included email app has this functionality to some extent. But, it only seems to works if you put in a shortcut to the entire inbox, and not individual accounts. Looks like the functionality goes away if you use another launcher.
And gmail's latest version doesn't allow 3rd party apps access to that information. So, the couple apps and launchers that used to give an unread counter for gmail, don't anymore.
Maybe try another 3rd party email client?
I tried a few 3rd party Apps. No go

"Enhanced Email" the app will allow a desktop widget that shows you how many unread emails you have.
You can also add the widget to your lock screen using Widgetlocker as the lockscreen app.
So I don't have to log into my phone to see how many unread emails I have. I simply press my power button and look at the lock screen..

K-9 Mail
K-9 Mail is free and the best Mail app.
Hello there,
is it possible to change the icon of the email app? I have entered my gmail account in the settings and I get a simple envelope. Now, in some screenshots I can see people having a nicer icon (presumably hotmail icon) with some sort of waves going through it, and the envelope is tilted. I'd love to have this icon but I do not want to use a hotmail account. Is there some way I can force this icon to my gmail account?
regards

well, thanks. But that wont really work as that would make me lose live tile functionality.

Yeah, I know that sucks. Microsucks needs to let us customize.
Hi All,
My very first post on XDA forums, i have used these forums for great help in the past.
I'm a little stumped at the moment, i am using Dodol Launcher on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop OS, i'm about 90% happy with the whole launcher, just need to know if there's any good notification badge applications out there for Ebay? so when i get notifications in Ebay, the badge app icon with notification count comes up on the homescreen icon? An app which lets me select which apps show homescreen unread badge counts on the icon would be perfect!
Also, is there a good email app which supports multiple email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo etc) all in one, and will combine the unread messages as a badge app count on the homescreen icon?
Any suggestions would help, please don't mention another launcher as i'm quite happy with Dodol at thei stage.
Thanks!
The email app you need is my mail. I use it and it is superb. Takes all accounts plus you get an email account from them which just uses your phone no as a pass word so can only be used on your phone. Makes for really good names. As you put say your name then its just @MY.com. I've Gmail Hotmail etc on it and it takes nova notification badges
