I just found a nice new app in the Android Market called HD Widgets by cloud.tv. It's 99 cents for a limited time ($2.99 in the future) and I just bought it. I like it a lot because I've been waiting for a nice tablet clock and weather widget to be available. Check it out if anyone is interested:
https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&feature=search_result
There's also an article over at AndroidCentral about the app too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/cloud...dgets-designed-specifically-honeycomb-tablets
That's a pretty impressive list of widgets, but I don't think I'm ever interested enough in the weather to use the one in your 4th screenshot. Is that one widget that takes up a whole page?

It's actually the window that opens when you click on the weather from your homescreen. So when you click the widget on your homescreen, those details popup.
NICE widgets. Just purchased and installed. I like it better than the Asus weather widget, which was pretty flaky when updating.
Awesome widgets.

Glad you all liked it! I was talking with one of the developers by email and I was surprised at how fast they responded to an inquiry. Seems like they really stand behind their app.
Purchased the APP as well. My only "gripe" is that I wish they allowed you to put in multiple locations for Weather. Because then it would be awesome. And, I could get rid of Accuweather all together.
Wonder if I should bother them with this?

It looks beautiful. Kinda makes me regret buying Beautiful Widgets... And they spelt "RealFeel" wrongly.
Looks really good and the weather is accurate. Well spend 1$.

Yeah, I think you should bother them about this. It would be a great feature for all of us, and they are really down to Earth. They'd probably listen.
Go for it!

Then that should be changed as it's very misleading, if i bought the app for the full page like i was about to do, i would be very pissed.
Sent them an Email this AM. Will let you all know what happens.

I am running the 1/2 page tablet widget with my screen locked in landscape mode, but sometimes the weather graphic is like twice the size it should be, and covers up the location and date text. Occasionally, changing the orientation of the tab to portrait and back again will cause the widget to redraw and fix the problem. Other times, the display remains perma-goofed.
Anyone else see this kind of behavior?
Since the new update, the weather is not updating at all. Just says "Null". I've tried rebooting, selecting a new weather reporting service, removing and adding the widget again... still no go.
Heard back from them this afternoon. They say that is next on the "to do" list. (multiple weather locations).
Right now they are working on getting it to run on phones...

A refined experience in Google Chrome Beta
Fixed missing predictions on the longpress of @ and .com
Improved gestures
Eliminated lag on letter pop-ups
Various other minor bug fixes and usability improvements
You can download the new Beta for your phone here: http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta , or for your tablet here: http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3tabletbeta
Thanks for this, looks nice, I'm using it to type this message, soo much better than the crappy old version!

Yes! but swiftkey servers are down... I'm trying to access. I'll update the tablet version as soon as i can.
Thanks I'm waiting for hours because swift key site its Down.
No gestures?
Thanks for the share!
What does everyone think about the beta? I love the new themes and bigger space bar, but having no gestures and all punctuation on the same button having me scratch my head. I loved the swipe to delete a whole word feature!
Thanks for the link. Have been trying to grab this since I read about it earlier, with no luck from the SK site.
Totally genius app!!!love it like he'll!

Thanks for the downloads. using it right now to type out this post. The layout on the keyboard is great but the app seems to lag a bit.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Thanx, been waiting to try this.
Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the "Select Input Notification" to constantly pop up while using this? I've looked thru the SwiftKey settings to no avail. It's super annoying and distracting.
Anyway to change the period to a question mark? They had a question mark there before. Now it takes so long to add commas and question marks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I really hope they put back in the long-press duration setting. I find this one of the most appealing parts of SwiftKey.
Will they update SwiftKey X to SwiftKey 3 or do we need to buy another keyboard?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I dont known but you can have two kbs installed and choose one of them. In my list of kbs appears "Swiftkey X" and Swiftkey 3 Beta".

Yea, I hope I don't need to buy another keyboard for what should be enough to justify as just an update.
As as for the lag, that seems to have gotten a lot better after switching themes from cobalt to holo. Still is kind of laggy though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
There are two points that i dont like at all about last beta. The short size of letters/simbols amb my clear theme (like ics) that does not appear in theme list.
Enviado gracias a la magia del hombre blanco
Also, when you long press the period to access the punctuation, the first option after pressing should be a comma. Why should anyone long press the period only to select period.

Hi everybody, TouchType Ltd. have decided to release their latest beta for the ever popular SwiftKey today for free
Seeing as the demand for the beta is hammering their servers, I decided to upload the .apk to my dropbox for everybody to enjoy. Just download and install like you would with any other app
Here's the file: http://db.tt/GHjXdQi7
FYI, this is a FREE, OPEN beta and therefore this is a FREE APP. I understand the rules of xda, and I do not condone or promote pirating in any way!

I will test as well will let you know soon..

Quick update! : its really faster less laggier feels much more improved whit some new themes... Also auto correction engine seems even more optimized I'm typing whit it now and the coolest thing about this is I can erase my last word by swiping trough the keyboard!

I'm coming from Smart Keyboard Pro. It seems pretty fast. Runs well. I haven't had any problems so far. I love the Neon theme. Once I get used to all the gestures I'm sure I will be able to speed up with it. So far so good. Thanks for posting!
can someone explain why they removed the comma key?
B4 this I'm using the old version ...I will test this too...
i'm back to the retail version, this one just doesn't cut it for me somehow
there were more features with the retail version settings, especially the long press duration, and the punctuation keys being separated.

Probably because some people, like me, were complaining that the old space bar was too freaking narrow. I kept accidently hitting the period. It's way better now.
The comma is now more of a swipe - a fine tradeoff imho.
Oooo this is nice. It's much better on mine. Thank you for this. Really pleased!

Are people using the tablet version of the keyboard or the normal phone one?
Tablet version. The phone version told me to get the tablet version, which I already used... I was just curious how it looked like.

For me the old version is much better. The beta lags (ok the final version might fix this). But the layout without comma is stupid. There is more then enough room for a direct comma key, at least in the landscape on a 10" device. If there's no other way they could remove the stupid SwiftKey key or make it as second feature for comma.
Another point is the lacking option to change long key press duration for secondary assignment.
The possibility to learn from older SwiftKey in addition to Gmail, Facebook and Twitter would be nice too.
At the moment I will not test it on my Note, maybe I'll give some later versions a try.

I have a "radical" idea...how about swift key making an OPTION to have either
the larger spacebar, or, a smaller space bar WITH the comma key option.
Call me goofy, but let the USER make the decision on the spacebar size?

Hi all...
...can you tell me, if is possible edit ORIGINAL moto circle widget for use on another launcher???
...on adw etc???
Good question...will look into it!
The only thing simple is the belief in simplicity.
I just thought I would mention this as an alternative: I saw a theme someone had made, and he had what looked like the Moto circles widget, but it turned out to be Ultimate Custom Widget from the market. It seems that widget is super customizable, with tons of skins and stuff. It might be a good option for people who aren't able to use the stock circle widget.

Over the winter break, I'll look into this and see what it takes to make it work on other launchers. I imagine its just a few simple lines much like it is with multiwindow apps on the Note 10.1 and Note 2.
I'm done with finals Wednesday, so I'll probably crack it open Thursday or Friday.

I would *love* it if you could manage that somehow....I hate having to choose between keeping the circle widget and using a different launcher.
if it helps when you get to working on this there is some code that pertains to the circle widget in the stock launcher might be what the widget looks for on trying to load it.
Cool widget but damn, mine is refusing to update today, hasn't updated since 9:04 this morning. i was about 40 miles away from home, and couldn't get it to update location/weather when i tapped the weather circle to go to the weather app. And i can't find a refresh button or option anywhere. I have all 3 location services checked in settings. Still won't update... anyone ever have this problem with it?
I haven't forgotten about this, I promise. I've just been lazy and enjoying my first week and a half off.
I need to recreate my dev environment and get all my editing tools back, that's what has kept me off of doing this so far.

Just now opened it up and took a look inside. It's going to take me a while to dig through all the code in this thing, there's a lot.
If anyone wants to help and dig through the code with me, I attached the decompiled apk. Use notepad++ or something to view the xml's and .smali's.

I have created this little app out of frustration with the hardware buttons on my Galaxy S3. I don't really mind the back, menu, or Home button implementations but I am really annoyed because of the implementation of the recent apps. On a Galaxy S3, we all know that one has to press the hardware home key for a while to open the recent apps view. This greatly hampers multitasking and, honestly, it even turned me off of the idea of multitasking using the recent apps view.
But I recently used a friend's Galaxy Nexus and found that the recent apps view was not only very convenient to switch between apps, but also very effective. And the convenience was amplified by the fact that the recent apps button was ever present on the phone's screen. So I decided to implement something similar for my phone.
I came across STANDOUT , a library made by Mark Wei (xda member pingpongboss) which perfectly suited my needs for this app and made creating this app a breeze. Thanks a lot Mark!!
So here is my app called "FLYING RECENTS". It is a floating button that does nothing but open the default recent apps view. It is draggable via the handle attached at its bottom, it is semi-transparent so as to not be too distracting, and it can be closed by clicking its notification in the notification shade. Go ahead. Give it a try. I am sure people with hardware buttons will appreciate the utility of this app once they use it. Do offer suggestions if any, and I will try to incorporate them into the app as much as i can.
Made for a Galaxy S3. Ideal use case is for phones like Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, etc. All phones with hardware buttons running Android 4.0+ benefit from this app.
UPDATE: Version 1.01 includes a better looking drag handle. Thanks to pratyush997 for the suggestion!!
UPDATE: Version 1.02 includes a transparent notification bar icon.
I'm thrilled I was looking for something like a long time ...

Thanks for your response. I hope you enjoy using this. If you don't mind, hit thanks, and tell people about this app. Everybody deserves the ease of convenience don't they?
Very very nice, been looking for a while for something like this.
I have a suggestion Don't u think it would be more practical and less obstructive if it was more like a gesture based launcher (like swipepad, sidebarpro).
We set it up that once u swipe from the home button upwards the screen, it will launch the recent apps. I've tried many apps but none were perfect for that simple task.
Thx for the nice app, would be appreciated if u can consider my suggestion.

Trust me it was my original aim to make this app just like that (i.e. dragging the button itself) but I cannot for the life of me make it draggable. That is why I had to include the handle. Feel free to suggest any coding workarounds if you can. It would greatly benefit me.
Useful app! May I suggest the addition of floating 'back', Home', 'menu' buttons as well?

As far as I can tell, adding the back button is not possible without rooting. But i will get back with the home button implementation soon.
