Anyone found any nice widgets that utilize the size of the tablet screen?
All I have seen is Wizz, and it's really not all that great. Post it up if you find any other good ones.
Minimalist text works good if you want a long battery indicator on your screen
May be here?

Thought I would mention that there is a newer clock/weather widget app called HD Widgets that has various tablet sized clock widgets that actually look really good. It has a few different clocks and backgrounds so you can customize it a bit too. 99 cents. I would recommend it.

If you're looking for a Twitter, Facebook, gMail, Pop/Imap email reader you should look at Pure Messenger Widget and if you want a news reader you should look at Pure News Widget (scrollable) which will read off your gReader account. I have Engadget added to my gReader account and it displays quiet nicely on the Pure News Reader. Here is a screenie of both side by side using a completely transparent background skin. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that there skinnable and scrollable too.

+2 for HD Widget
Use Desktop Vizualizer- create icons or use default ones to make larger. This app is good to use with Folder Organizer Lite. Saves alot of screen. After you select your icon you can click other then click folder organizer link.
Also Android Pro Widgets is nice as well.

I have been getting several random reboots per day, usually while the tab is asleep with the screen dimmed, since installing HD Widgets. (I have the 1/2 screen clock/weather widget running in ADW.) I'm rooted and running Prime! 1.8.4.
Anyone else seeing reboots with these?

Its a launcher. Once you select this as your launcher you cannot use sense (widgets) unless off course you just switch back your launcher to htc sense.

take an icon from your app drawer, drag it to the main body of your background, then drag the icon to the launcher and drop.

What widgets are those btw? Beautiful or some others? Forgive my ignorance, my EVO arrives tomorrow and it'll be my first Android device, just trying to compile a list of all the stuff I wanna try and I certainly like the overall look you've put together w/ADW and that stuff. Love the wallpaper too btw, I've got the very same one in rotation w/others on my desktop, heh.

beautiful widgets for the time/weather & the vibrate widget.
es task manager is the task killer icon on the right of the battery widget.
battery widget is "batterylife" by curvefish in the app market.

unfortunately not.
smooth calendar, or android agenda widget is a good replacement for the htc agenda with some more customizable options.
beautiful widgets is another good replacement for the htc clock. with many types of skins.
the bookmarks im not to sure. never use them personally. if i did i would just use the android bookmark "shortcuts"

does this use less battery life and/or memory than say stock sense?
one thing that i noticed is when you turn on your screen and then drag down to unlock, the wallpaper will shift downward as well. is there a fix to this?
i am going to have to dump adw if there isn't a fix for this.. it drives me up the wall.

If you have the device held horizontally its going to do that. If that is what you are talking about. Not a glitch.
I like the RAB and LAB buttons. Very useful.
I have the LAB as Phone (to make calls) and RAB as a folder.
The problem is I cannot add/remove apps from the folder.
I initially created the folder on the desktop, added about 10 apps to it then dragged it to the RAB. Excellent. I have access to those 10 apps almost 90% of the time.
Problem is I cannot add a new app shortcut to that folder.
Is there a way to undock/shift the folder from RAB back to desktop to add app shortcuts then back to RAB?
Because I tried adding an app shortcut to the folder by dragging it from desktop to RAB but that app got registered as the bew RAB and I lost the folder. Had to redo it all over.
otherwise its great.
thanks
this any different from ADW.Launcher in market?
not my app. its called Fancy Widget. something tells me it'll be removed soon so download it while you can!

not that new been on the market for a good week or so but its nice kinda the same as weather & toggle widget though
Good find! Side note, I used to live in P-Cola too.

the complete opposite of there
Why can't these HTC Clock applications replicate the animation that plays when you turn the phone on and the screen is showing the clock.. to me they are worthless without it..
Don't know why.. I just love that effect..
my example in my sig
Thanks so much loving it...
Nice, thanks!
It is quite nice but it is all out of whack in landscape view... on the Droid anyway.
i've used beautiful widgets, and weather and toggle, this is by far the closest replication i've seen, altho i really really wish it displayed the flip animation for the time. that would add so much class.
nice, same as manila 2d by htc on windows mobile... thx...

because stock android doesn't allow animated widgets on the home screen.. get the desire ROM if you want that effect.

Actually that is not 100% correct. It's because the animated version is proprietary to HTC. Beautiful Widgets used to be virtually identical to the HTC weather widget until HTC hit the company with a C&D letter. Now every update by Beautiful Widgets has to be approved by HTC before they can release an update. Check out Beautiful Widget version 2.35, that was the last version before the C&D.

im pretty sure he meant that when you unlock the screen you get the animation because Beautiful widgets and weather & toggle widget have animations only when you click on the weather.. not on the home screen with out clicking on the weather icon..
nice widget. best to take bacup before it is remove it from the market. as they do with anything that resembles a bit to much on their stuff
Awesome... now i wish i hadnt bought the others.....

Does anyone notice the slight banding around the numbers? You can see the numbers having a slight halo. The halos disappear when you try to slide the screens. Reminds me of the 16 bit issue of android...
While this installed without issue, I currently have no Weather Forecast showing? It reads my location fine and states 'Leeds' (UK) however no image of sunshine, or should i say rain clouds here in northern England lol! Anyone else experiencing the same? I did a google search and found others noticing the same on other phones but nothing regarding Nexus. Currently running Enom 1.9.2 and ADW Launcher.
Thanks.
So one of the only things I find myself salivating at on my wife's HTC Incredible 2 is the Sense weather/clock widget. Thing looks badass. I've found some of the ripoffs on the appstore, and have installed Beautiful Widgets, which has some pretty cool clocks, but a lot of them look like janky crap.

Do you guys have a favorite or has anyone found one that gives the sense widget a run for its money?
Fancy Widget Pro is great. I prefer it over Beautiful Widgets and Weather Toggle & Widgets.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets
I guess the new version is called just Fancy Widgets
Weather and Toggle Widgets. I use the Digital Clock skin:
Thanks for the suggestions The couple of clocks I've downloaded for Fancy Widgets(I only had free before, but just bought full version) are already way better quality than the ones on Beautiful Widgets. Will try to post a screen shortly
Beautiful Widgets is my favorite. Lots of options and skins

Second to that, plus they had it as an Amazon Free App of the day once. Woohoo!
Beautiful Widgets all the way. I've been using the destroy skin with a transparent background. Around 50% that way I can see my screen background.
DroidX Eye Clock widget
At some point in the last nine months I had a DroidX Clock widget on my OG Droid. I really was just a clock widget that used the DroidX Eye as a background, and offered a choice for the eye color (red, blue, green, yellowish). It was lost at some point in one of the many times I flashed different roms to that phone. I have looked a few times in the last couple of months, but have been unable to find it.
If anybody has seen that widget, or has it, I'd love to get it installed on my Droid Charge.
(BTW: Verizon tunred on 4G in my area today, and it is crazy fast... loving it).
Actually. Use go launcher and then get.goweather. your wife will be salivating looking at your phone. They.have an htc style clock that is better than htcs. And the coolness.of go launcher is a "see it to appreciate it" thing. Set your app drawer to have the blind effect. Its awesome lol.
Alternative
Advanced clock pro is an alterative if you like a modern look. I also use aix weather.

Check out GS Flip Clock wallpaper. I'm running version 4.3 on my Samsung Tab and it's fantastic. It is as close as you can get to the HTC version. It had some growing pains initially, but as of version 4.3 everything seems to be working great.
I didn't pay for it, so I must have found the apk via Google. I remember searching for quite a while because HTC had been putting the smack down on any developers who used the flip clock style.
Currently it is on the market (website only, it didn't show up when I searched using the market app on my Charge) for $2.00. Since I'm a "noob" I can't post the direct link. Search for GSFlipClockWallpaper by Sergey Golovanov

I spent hours (literally) poking away at Adwlauncher EX and this is what I came up with. Compared to what it used to be (first post) I like being able to use more of the screen and force widgets to be the way I want...but still not sure about the smaller icons. No way to have the exact same icons in Adw?
I would very much like for this thread to survive like similar threads have on other subforums, so I guess I'll try to breath some life into it once again.
I ended up going portrait only for my homescreen and like it:

Here's mine:

I set quick launcher on the droid logo:
Screen 2, Work:
Screen 3, Reading another circle launcher on the book holder:
Screen 4, Media, launcher on the ipod center button
Screen 5, Games, Circle launcher again on pointed lines
thats it, well atleast until i've getting bored and start build another one...
What launcher and what's the notebook thing in the third pic?
sorry, i forget to tell the ingredient:
-adw launcher 1.3.3.1
-palmary weather
-circle launcher
-desktop visualizer
-minimalistic text
-multilive wallpaper
the notebook is a picture i found on google and photoshop it lil bit, as for the application shortcut on the left page, i use desktop visualizer with exported pen memo drawing for the icon...
Is being able to customize the top toolbar with shortcut to apps etc only in normal adw or have I missed it in adw launcher ex?
Im sorry i dont understand your question...
afaik the top toolbar is uncostumizeable, as for the screen icon on the left I use laucher action shortcut and yes perhaps it's only available on the adw launcher ex version
Seems to be a difference between ADW launcher EX versions then. On mine, which is the latest, it seems there's only the drop-down menu button and no way to change it
That home screen is really cool dewadewi. Thanks for some cool ideas, I was hoping for a new kind of homescreen setup other than the common android/honeycomb one. I like the launchers.

GPS is only required if the tile you want the current weather map of their position. This option is only optional.
This looks great however please open the demo more. I can hardly demo the product with almost everything locked down. Maybe make it expire in 2 days or something. Plus I'm not sure what: "Please note that you may have another launcher (like Nova Launcher, Go Launcher etc.) should be installed as the default launcher screen settings do not allow to achieve the best possible result." means.
Nice idea. I'm going to try it now.

Same here. I've tried every combination ( city and state, city, city and country, zip etc) and nothing works
I can not use the function "execute apps", the apps that I selected can not open when I press the tile.
Bought it last night and it worked for a while and I was getting somewhere with it, but since then it has started to force close earlier and earlier into the process.
When the problems first started I could go to Add Widget, choose the type I wanted and it'd F/C once I tapped on an option to mod that widget. Now it crashes as soon as I choose which type of widget I want.
Any ideas?

To resolve your problem, it would be helpful if you click the report button when Metro UI crashes.
