I previously used LauncherPro which had it's own Twitter widget but now since the update I just want to keep everything stock ICS. So what are my options?
Android pro Widgets
Thanks! I will give that a go
+1 for Android Pro Widgets. I use their Timeline widget, which combines the Twitter and Facebook feeds into one feed. Love it!
APW is exactly what I was after, I went and bought the paid version. Also, the separate Google Reader widget is really useful and I like how it includes thumbnails of each news article. Good stuff! Thanks again
Is there a Twitter widget that properly integrates with the Twitter app? Same question for Facebook.

Android Pro Widgets allows opening tweets using Twitter for android (also supports Plume and Seesmic) and opening Facebook items using Facebook for android (also supports FriendCaster and Seesmic).
I'm not aware of any widget that takes its data directly from Twitter / Facebook official apps.

LauncherPro Plus has a decent size Twitter and Facebook widget, but I am not using that launcher anymore, I am using DxTop , so I was wondering if anyone has developed these widgets, which allow me to view and scroll each Feed like Launcherpro Plus has.
Also if anyone has used the Mytouch slide, the slide had an awesome email widget, decent enough size to scroll up and down and view as well....if anyone can help, much appreciated

That is too small, I am using Tweetdeck for both my Twitter and Facebook Applications, but I would like a reasonable size scrolling widget for both Twitter and Facebook, most is the screen. Also what about a decent size email widget?

Pure Messenger! Very nice and scrollable (if dxtop can handle it). 4x2, 4x3, 4x4..
This was just released by an upstarter called "Big Widgets"
He plans to release a couple of 4x4 scrollable sexy looking widgets. Facez is the first to be released which is for Facebook.

Trying this out now... Thanks for the heads up
Widget looks nice and can be resized if you use ADW or LauncherPro Plus.
Is there an widget that allows for simultaneously posting updates to facebook and twitter?
not looking for a full app that will drain my battery running in the background, just a simple widget that will cast my updates, and thats it....
Don't know if you use launcher pro or not, but the paid version has a "friends" widget that does exactly that. It also lets you view both feeds in the same widget

I had the Mytouch 4G, before I got this phone, and what I miss the htc sense twitter widget that came with it. It was just a box widget on your home screen with no viewable tweets, and you just tap on it and update your twitter, is it possible to move that over to the G2X? Or get it by chance? I could constantly tweet without opening twitter, but the twitter for android widget is not good at all, do not like it.

No, its not. Sense twitter requires the rosie framework which is proprietary to HTC.

Each twitter app has different widgets. I would try a few different apps and see if any have widgets you like as much or more. Tweetdeck for example has a "Post" widget that just shows the avatar for your account, a text field that you can tap to tweet, and a camera button.
Also, there are apps that let you create shortcuts directly to some portion of an application. I think both LP and ADW can. Wouldn't be as convienent as a 3rd party app widget, but you could create a shortcut that went straight to the post page in the twitter app.
Just use Launcherpro Plus.

Op wants a widget that does not show tweets.
So i've been using APW for ages, but i've grown tired of the sluggish widget and old-ish user interface (as well as a recent bug on my s4 that shows a blank page when opening tweets).
I've been looking for another app with a combined & scrollable facebook & twitter widget and have come up short. I have tried these:
Hootsuite: Looks really nice, but only seperate Facebook & Twitter widgets (Same widget, but i can only select either fb or twitter)
Seesmic: Just a 4x1 widget and seperate twitter & facebook.
Scope: No widgets at all.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I am in the same situation and found Wizz Widget but even the Pro version (which I bought over Amazon) doesn't work reliable and the developer doesn't respond.
I would like to see another alternative.

THE SOCIAL WIDGET ....
I really miss having a widget that showed Fbook and twitter feeds. I used to use pure messenger but I heard Fbook isn't supported anymore. Any other options out there? Tks
