As you already know, the Sense Bookmarks Widget only arranges the bookmarks as you add them. If you would like to arrange your bookmarks alphabetically in the widget, there are couple apps I found that work well.

So we have plenty of good quality widgets for calendars and tasks. but where are the notes widgets.
my requirements:-
syncs to the cloud (pref google docs, evernote, simplenote)
has a large (4x4) widget that i can view a notes list and individual notes, edit, and add new
and that's it, would be like to have a nice UI, check boxes, images, links, but plaintext would do
the apps i tried and why they didn't work for me:-
mobisle notes, widget too small (2x2), widget cannot open app, so need extra shortut (syncs google docs)
notepad with sync, no widget, (syncs with helipad)
evernote, widget just add edits searches, (syncs with evernote)
catch notes, widget just add edits searches, (syncs with catch)
andronoter, widget just add edits searches, (synch with simplenote)
mnote, no widget, (syncs with simplenote)
flick notes, no widget, (syncs with simplenote)
aknotepad, no widget, (syncs with catch.com)
note everything, no sync, widget just add edits searches
colornote, no sync, widget just shows titles of notes
bugmelite, no sync, widget just add edits searches
springpad is the closest to my needs, has a 4x4 widget and syncs to springpadit.com, but cannot view notes in the widget, so near...
So do you know for an app which has just these 2 simple requirements?
where are the note apps with 4x4 widgets to browse notes?
all i need in the app / widget:-
syncs to the cloud (pref google docs, evernote, simplenote)
has a large (4x4) widget that i can view a notes list and individual notes, edit, and add new
and that's it, would be like to have a nice UI, check boxes, images, links, but plaintext would do
EDIT
the closest i have found is springpad, has sync and a 4x4 widget, but the widget doesn't allow a notes view, just a ist view..
Is there a widget that allows me to use a web age of my choosing and the ability to select links within that page?
The default launcher let you make a bookmark widget, unfortunately it's all your bookmarks and not individual.
I use ADW EX Launcher and it let me set individual bookmark on the home screen
Yeah I use ADW and have a page of bookmarks. I just wanted afull page widget of a web page.
I would also like to do this. I haven't yet got into ADW or LP, but on the desktop, for Chrome this is as simple as launching it with the command line:
-app=<URL>
I have no idea if Chrome on Honeycomb even supports instances, let alone commandline parameters.
Anyone know how to determine the sort order for the stock bookmarks widget? Seems to be random instead of alphabetical, which is a PITA. My bookmarks are alphabetical in the browser, so I dunno if there's a setting elsewhere to make it the same on the widget.
I've used APW Widgets for the past year. For the most part the widgets are straight-forward and easy to customize. I use the APW widgets for bookmarks, calendar, contacts, Facebook and Twitter. Most of them work fine. Nothing fancy, just basic functionality.
As has been well-documented on the APW Play Store page, though, several times Google has updated Chrome in a way that "breaks" APW bookmark widget for Chrome. Before the Chrome update -- Chrome bookmarks appear as either thumbnails or a list in the APW widget. They are properly sorted and easy to search. After the Chrome update -- blank. No widgets for Chrome. This has happened at least twice that I know of, including right now.
This is inconvenient but hey, I'll just use a different widget for Chrome bookmarks. Not so fast. ASAIK there ISN'T one, or at least there isn't a good one. Google's bookmark widget for Chrome is shockingly bad. Ugly, inconsistent, poorly conceived. Every other Chrome bookmarks widget I've found is either ridiculously labor-intensive (add each bookmark manually!) or so poorly designed as to make them non-functional (such as pulling all of your Chrome bookmarks out of folders and making one long unsorted list of hundreds of bookmarks).
Ideally the APW widget dev would update his stuff. If not that then surely there must be ONE decent bookmark app for Chrome bookmarks. Just give me the ability to place a widget on a screen, resize it as I see fit, give me the ability to sync with my main Chrome bookmarks and show them sorted the way they are. Seems crazy that this is so hard to find.
