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....

Cyanogenmod - Please list replacement apps here

What is a good replacement for the apps that worked on 2.1
HTC Facebook.
Swype - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687056&highlight=swype
I forgot I had to go into the system settings to enable Swype. I thought it would turn itself on by default so I could just select it from a long press in the search box.

Depending on what you want it for or how you use it; Socialite or SyncMyPic work best to mimic what could be done in sense with HTC Facebook.

Good post. I've been hunting to find a good gallery program to replace the 3d gallery. I tried just removing the 3d gallery apk from system/apps but then I cannot set a wallpaper (I wouldn't care of even having a "gallery" program but it seems like i cannot set wallpapers without it... i'm fine just using estrongs file manager to browser pics).

I originally posted this in the wrong thread, but flickie doesn't seem to do it. First off, its primary focus seems to be finding new wallpapers (and not to browse images already on the sd card).. secondly, it uses the same 3d gallery thing as the 3d gallery thats included in cyanogen. Am I missing something?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit
I do think the 3d gallery is neat, but I like simple usually. Its suddenly allowing me to just use a file manager to browse my photos and set as wallpaper... wasn't allowing me earlier.
On a side note, I think i'm gonna keep that flickie program installed. I do like being able to find some other neat wallpapers by category. So thanks for the recommendation

I think the official Facebook sync is supposed to be fixed very soon.

No facebook sync sucks, only like 4 of my friends have pics now only 'cause of twitter. SyncMyPix messed up a bunch of them. :<

I've just been using touch.facebook.com in browser.

One cosmetic question i can't figure out being used to Sense - is there any way for the icon to display the number of unread texts or emails instead of it just showing up in the notification bar?
god i wish there was a way for someone to pull and post the htc mail apk its so much better.

Froyo DOES have fb sync. Not working 100% on cyan right now. There are fixes over in the thread in development. One of which involves editing the build.prop

Try launcherpro. Shows these notification numbers in the taskbar.

for those of you wanting a home clock with weather replacement like sense's, beatiful widgets home looks very much the same, only you can skin it however you would like. there are dozens and dozens of available skins.

Or get chomp sms for your texts. I think it's much better then stock messaging anyway.

I use Google voice for VM and texting. Works great except for MMS, which is a GV limitation at the moment.

There was an issue with facebook sync on the hero build as well. Someone posted a fix there. I was going to try it out later.

handcent now has a small widget that looks like a small app that will show a number with how many texts you have unread

Anyone know of a way to get facebook calendar events into a calendar on CM6; a la HTC Facebook for Sense? I tried some Facebook Birthdays events or something that worked for about 20 minutes then corrupted everyone on reboot.

RSS reader/ widget

I gave up trying to find one for my milestone. But now ive finally bought launcherpro plus and want a good widget to stretch.
Has a good reader/ widget been released? I like atoma a lot but it refuses to update for me.

The two best reader imo are news rob and newsroom. I use newsrob now because I like the greader sync. As a standalone i think newsroom is the best.

They dont show screens of the widgets.

Search feed juice in Android Market
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

I dont like feedjuice. Not mature enough yet. I use feedr now, but their widget design could be better (the arrows are ugly and color too dark).

You may like either the AnyRSS Widget or FeedR from the Android Market. I use FeedR myself.

Try BuzzBox... It has several widget sizes...

The best rss reader I've found is "Pulse News Reader" (free in the market, no ads!). I just found it yesterday, and it is the best rss reader I've tried on Android. It has 2 widget options with pics, and can show full articles in the app.
The interface is great, and it has google reader integration (if you want it). I wish I had found it a long time ago.

i dont see how it replaced newsrob for you... pulse is pretty, but functionality wise its a much weaker app, and the widgets are crap (a whole 3 stories per widget whoa)

I use buzzbox, the best I've found so far, nice widgets in various formats, huge selection of feeds, and the ability to add your owns.

[Q] Slidescreen alternative

I used slidescreen for a little while and I liked what it was going for, but in the end I didn't like the interface enough and gave up. Does anyone know of any similar launchers?

Why does my device matter? I have the HTC Hero, though. Slidescreen is an Android launcher. According to the market: "A complete home replacement focused on your information.
Shows summary information for SMS, GMail, Phone calls, Calendar, Google Reader, Stocks, Twitter and Facebook."

I really wanted slidescreen back but now it is dead ad there is no alternative ... is there anyone out there who can create a new launcher like slidescreen T_T it was THE BEST! ... any hope?

i found 1
i like the slidescreen too..
i searching everywhere..
n finally,,i found 1..
blackbearblanc.tumblr.com/post/3547408161
but there is no download link..
he named it glow screen..
im googling,,no result about "glow screen"..
i like the appearence,,better than slide screen..
im frustrated to find the link..
:hammer

If you read the description of the link, he's actually just using multiple widgets:
A ONEscreen with::
Puremessenger Widget for sms, gmail and missed calls only (gTalk when clicking title)
Kalender widget (TaskOs when clicking title)
AozoraClock with a copied font, Snowstorm Weather, Minimalistic Text for battery, Mobile Signal Widget Pro
Scrollable News (Pulse when clicking title)
Plume Transparent mod (Plume when clicking title)
WidgetLocker when downloaded lockbar from xda + a big lion king wallpaper.
Own dock with blank buttons
Scrollable dock icons: Call/contacts - gmail/new gmail - HancentSMS/New SMS - Astro/NotificationBar down - Dropbox/Open statusbar.
Dock2 is links to Folder Organizer folders (both press + swipe) with different Gingerbread icons. - Player is Quickdesk with SoundHound transparent mod - PowerAmp and BeyondPod smoked mod.

I've been looking for a SlideScreen replacement, as the last beta version is a bit unstable. Unfortunatley I am yet to find one either.

I would like to push this topic up, since I'm would really love to find a alternative to this aplication...
If it would work properly in Jellybean I would use to replace the launcher...

it's called SlideLine.

It's on the market now as SlideLine for $1.92US, No free version and yes it is JUST widgets.

Looks good, a tempting package now they're all bundled together and skinned out of the box. Do the widgets have the old slide-to-clear functionality of SlideScreen?

HTC News app/wdget on Sence 4/4a

Hi,
I noticed that HTC removed their HTC News app and widget from Sense 4/4a.
Is there a way to get it working on Sence 4/4a ROMs?
And if not, what is the best replacement to its widget?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks! But I couldn't find it in Market. Did you mean FlipSocial maybe?
BTW, I didn't mention it before, but I'm looking for app where I can add my custom RSS feeds, and able to add my gmail (Google Reader) account, the HTC News could do all that.
The Google Reader app/widget is actually a good option which I'm using currently, just looking for other option also

minimal reader
You can use minimal reader. it is good customizable news widget.

its not available in the market ..google it u should find an apk ..

Try that http://db.tt/2z9VGWTj

You still get a News and weather widget in Sense 4/4a. Isn't that sufficient

Miniread- new kind of news reading experience
Try out MiniRead news app. It shows the news updates in moving text style like TV news channels shows on the bottom screen(News ticker style).
It is very much customizable mini window and can be placed anywhere on the screen.
Just click on any news highlight and it'll open up in browser or youtube app depending on its web content or video.
Give it a try.
