OK, where to start. I've been searching forums and the internet in general trying to find a way to mix and match Fancy widget & Beautiful Widgets to get the desired effect I'm looking for.
I've been trying endlessly to find a way to get Fancy widget to open up Beautiful Widgets Forecast when I touch the weather icon and there seems to be no easy way to do this (if it can be done at all).
Now, I must say I have tried Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets and Weather & Toggle Widget and so far I love the look of Fancy Widget, love the look of Beautiful Widgets Forecast and didn't like Weather & Toggle Widget at all.
I have noticed that the Forecast app/add-on does appear in my Recent apps when I long press Home; so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me figure out a way to get Fancy Widget to see it as an app when choosing an app to open when touching the weather icon.
Also, Beautiful Widgets by default brings up the Alarms section of the Clock app but I can only get Fancy Widget to bring up the Clock app instead of directly bringing up the Alarms section. If anyone knows a way to achieve this also, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hi all, I am new to android having just gotten a Desire S. I was trying out Go Launcher EX which I liked a lot, until I realised that there are no toggle widgets for things like wifi, mobile data or gps. From what I have read, only Launcher Pro Plus has some of these widgets, is that correct? Is there any other free launcher which will give me these toggles the same way HTC Sense does? I don't mind paying in principle, but in the future I may want to use a custom rom. Thanks!
I use Beautiful Widgets. It costs a bit, but it's worth it since you get many toggle widgets (WiFI, GPS, Airplane mode etc.) and a nice clock+weather widget with lots of customization possibilites.

If you want a free app with only toggle widgets, you can use for example Toggle Widgets Pack

Thanks very much! Would you know if the Toggle Widgets Pack would work with a launcher like Go Launcher EX?

Yes it does. But I just noticed that Toggle Widgets Pack doesn't have a switch for mobile data. Here's a better alternative:

Has many more options and much more configurable
Get Quick Settings so you won't have to get a new launcher and waste space with widgets. All you have to do is hold the search key to bring up a window with the settings you need.
Thanks very much to you both, I will try both ways and see which I prefer. Thanks again!
I'd throw in another one: Elixir, not only switches but lots of other useful stuff too
+1 for Widgetsoid.
Good evening/morning! (depending on your location )
May I ask a quick question?
I want to switch back to GO Launcher, but I really can't live without HTC's:
-Calendar widget
-Music widget (with lockscreen widget)
-Profile toggle and wifi toggle widgets.
Can somebody direct me to cheap or free alternatives on the Android market that can replace these HTC widgets, so that I can switch to GO Launcher?
I'd be very grateful for any help. Thanks so much

A New Launcher based from the work of Jen Thakar.
The Launcher has awesome Utilities.

The Interface is new, techy, innovative and something new to the lease of other launchers !It has the power of animated icons and animated home cards with animated widgets always ready to play on screen…
App Shortcuts
The App supports app shortcuts with the support of awesome animations.
Drawer
The App Drawer can be set as per your wish to Lines View, Grid View with ever animated icons to choose from. The App drawer keeps you glued to your phone and flaunt it when other use the monotony of still app drawers.
Search bar & Header
Alive Launcher has its own search bar widgets! And Headers to set you free.
You can customise these with your preferred Colour, Clock and Time, Music Controls and many more to be explored inside.

Dock
The Homescreen is a dock wherever you want to make it and also set it free to standalone icons , if you drag and drop icons to other places of the homescreen.
