Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Hi - I think if they are unique and useful then we'll need to post a description of what they do, otherwise you'd have to download it and try it out to see if it's something that you'd find useful....
For me - Data on demand - switches your mobile data connection off when you're screen is off, unless a background task calls for it.
and battery indicator - put's a little battery icon in your status bar which shows you how many % battery you have left.. much more useful than the vagaries of the std battery icon.

Hey above two are very common man
Ok let me tell u abt mine:
1. Droid phone control
U can the contents of ur phone on laptop without using usb cable..u can do a lot more..give it a try
2. MeContact
Very very useful widget for smart dialling
3. Speak n send
Just speak n it gets converted into txt which u can either sms or put on facebook, twittet, etc
4. Storage info
Shortcut to see the memory status in just one clik
5. Uninstaller (mini soft)
Best uninstaller in terms of speed n ui

My first post!
Just to correct OP, MeContacts is not a smart dialer. It's an app that you can put different contacts in grid view. You can choose either to call or view contact when you tap on that particular contact. Also, speak and send is great, thanks OP.
I've been nerding and looking up for anything that can improve my X10. I'll name the ones that I don't think are very common. But ya, here goes my long list (in no particular order; i don't use all of these now, but they have been useful to me before)...
*1) QuickDesk Beta
- quick pop up menu where you can add apps/widgets and allows you to stay on your current application (for some reason the double tap doesn't work for me, but single tap works fine)
2) Last Call Widget
- a simple widget that lets you see your last call (can 1 click to call back the caller if it was a missed call)
3) Quick Settings (by Sergej Shafarenka)
- an app that lets you quickly set your WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. This is better than having a widget constantly running in the background
4) Quick Battery (by Sergej Shafarenka)
- nice looking battery widget
*5) Multicon Widget
- have 4 shortcuts (not widgets) in a normally 1 icon space (helps save a lot of space)
*6) Car Mode
- press on the icon, and phone all phone calls will be coming out of the speakers (NOT a bluetooth feature which connects to other BT devices)
7) Turtle Photoframe
- best (in my opinion) photoframe for pictures, not a lot of features or customization, but gets the job done I think
8) Unit converter (by Wopnersoft)
- really nice looking interface for a unit converter
9) Tajm
- presents the time and date in word format rather than numbers
*10) Shake - Uninstall
- enable the feature, and go into any application (does not work with widgets), then shake to uninstall the app
11) Blik Calendar Widget
- a 4x1 widget that shows your calendar schedule for about 8-10 days. Uses 1 of 500 built in pics to describe your activity for that day
*12) Home Switcher
- if you use a lot of different launchers and set 1 as a default, this will be very useful for you to toggle between the different launchers
*13) Market History Manager
- 1 click to delete the history in Market, very useful and straightforward
*14) ToDo List Widget
- easy to add, edit, and delete lists. very handle and simple to use.
Hope that list helps people! *phew* that took awhile to type it up =P
*starred ones are the ones I think are most useful.

Is this available on the Android Market?

Ghost Commander... A great Dual-pane file manager(like Norton Commander, FAR manager etc), making it very easy to copy and paste between folders in your SDcard, both panes are individually configurable and its the only file manager that i use...
Its a free download from android market
Note: if you've already used dual-pane file managers handling this is a breeze, but for first timers there is a small learning curve

Thanks ECBomb for sharing the names of those apps..will try n let u know

And on topic again:
Smooth Calender widget for nice transparant text only appointments on your desktop, I use it in combination with Jorte (Calendar app). Both free on the market.

Quick question... could you pull and post the apk for this? I just got my Galaxy Tab set up with Honeycomb, courtesy of Spacemoose1, and I'd really love to try this out (even if it is just a trial version). I'd really appreciate it, and thank you in advance.
*Edit: Of course, if you're planning on releasing this as a paid app, then please disregard my request. I've really enjoyed your work with Colorize Widget, and I wanted to give this a go, as a tablet-optimized app. Thanks again.

Thank you very much!! Downloading now!

awesome widgets. please make a widget for gmail. thanks!

I doubt a gmail widget will work now. After the gmail API change, all gmail-related counters and widgets are non-functional... :-(
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App

Maybe I'm missing something but where do I go to add the widget to a screen? It doesn't appear where the otehr widgets are

You need Honeycomb in order to use Wizz. If you do have it, just long press the screen, and scroll over to the right, until you see the group of Wizz widgets.

Could you post the .apk file. For some reason I can not download it on my Gtablet. Love your work.

The apk is in the OP...

Thank you for an awesome set of widgets! Just shared this with all the tablet users I know!

The widget's are beautiful just have have one question I am sure I am missing something are I am an Idiot but when I tryed to use the facebook stacker it went to the home page and disapeared same with the twitter stacker.

A Gmail widget would be really cool
A weather widget would also be cool
Thanks for your hard work

Gmail would be nice, but it won't work. With the recent API change in gmail, it's rendered all related widgets and unread count features completely useless. Google kinda blindsided devs with this, and there's not much any of them can do at the moment, besides hope that Google rolls out a more developer friendly API... :\

Widgets
I actually paid for the full version, and LOVE it. Awesome work, just what my Xoom needed and deserved.

I can't install a market, I simply get an install error, if I use the .apk from the first post I get a force close when I click theme settings. Any help?
EDIT: Using a Toshiba Tab AT100, Android 3.0.1

This is a great app/widget set. I agree that gmail would be an awesome addition.
I did notice on my DS7 (running Honeystreak) that if I add the reader widget I get sent into a FC loop.
Additionally, as philseven stated above, some of the stack widgets are not visually appearing on the screen. I can grab and remove them, but I'm only guessing at their location.

Great widget, love it!

Try to add normal facebook & twitter widget
then login > refresh
before add stack widget

Nice
This is an awesome widget set but I don't understand why you can't scroll or even access the next month in the calendar / agenda.

OK I installed from the attached .apk file on my Asus Transformer. I then went to try and add the widget I tapped widgets and scrolled through entire list and no Wizz Widgets are listed do I need to do something else to get it working? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Belay this message I shutdown my Transformer and restarted it and they showed up. I love the calendar widget.

[Q] Update weather database

Hi. Can i update my weather db so that i can add more places?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

yes, go to the weather app in the app draw and once you select it press the menu key. hit add and find your location. repeat to add other locations. the different weather locations can be seen using the weather widget. hope this helps.

[Q] Quick toggle settings app?

I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to create system settings profiles for 1 click set...
Something like:
Profile:
Office
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Driving
WiFi-off
Bluetooth-on
GPS-on
Home
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Etc...

This is a shot in the dark here because I've never used it, and have deleted it from my ROM, but there is a widget that comes with the stock ROM called the Profile widget.... Maybe that is what it is for?
If that's not it, there must be something in the market or perhaps elsewhere in the ROM?

I've tried the profiles widget, it just changes your sound profile...
I've checked the market, however I might not be using the right search criteria...

Ah ok, I found an app in the market called Quick Profiles... Maybe that will work for ya? Other than that, I'm not sure.

I think I remember that the Epic 4G had a similar feature, where you could turn on different modes that would auto-switch you to different homescreens that you could customize for the situation (work, home, school etc.) It's probably been retained in the latest versions of Touchwiz, as it seemed pretty cool.
I would imagine there's a widget on the market somewhere with what youre looking for. if not, you could just use extended controls so as to quickly change all your settings, since you can customized its widget to control virtually anything.

Isn't it like HTC scene?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide_Lite

So i just found that apparently, 2.3 introduced a security feature that blocks apps and widget from turning on the GPS. i am not pleased witht his, as it makes extended controls and anti theft apps (Lookout, Seekdroid etc.) far less useful. bad move, Google. Why u remove features?

I found that the app o installed does not allow to toggle GPS, must be due to that 'feature'

it is pretty good. better than the other widget, which does not work in offline mode. ( because of SDK's bug.... )

It does not show the Widgets on my Smartwatch (using Xperia Z2)

you have to check the items you want to use, but you can select only a few items with the free app, you have to buy the unlocked to use all items

look in the clock-section (not in the widget-section)

I know the widgets are in the clock section, but they dont appear on the Watch if I put them on the watchface in the Watchface editor.

works fine for me?

Maybe there are too many of them enabled in the WatchFace app itself. You're only allowed to enable three in the free version. Check all subsections in the WatchFace app and make sure only three in total are enabled.

Does display calendar and notifications?
Sent from my TouchPad using XDA Free mobile app

calendar and status widgets are "under development", you can't choose options in those sections yet
so far you can activate widgets from:
-clock/date
-image (spacer and image)
-launcher
