I think the ability to have widgets is a great feature in Android. I was wondering what everyone's favorite/most useful ones are.

im a huge widget fan.
i got:
"Andvanced Task Manager"
"Calwidget"
"Digital Clock & Weather"
"DroidStats"
Stock Power control widget (i use a modified one with 100% transparency)
"PremierFrame"
on my current set up, page one is nothing but widgets, page 2 i have a 4x2 widget, then on the 3rd screen i have my calender & data/wifi usage widgets
Battery Disc
Beautiful Widgets
YouTube
Pandora
Pulse
BeyondPod, Any.Do, Evernote on my off-screen. Just Simi Clock with time, weather and battery level on my main screen.
Audio Manager: Status of all the volume levels, and a nice interface to change them. Nice selection of themes if you get the paid version.
SwitchPro: Fully customizable toggle widgets. There are lots of similar toggles, but this is one of the best there is.
Touch Calendar: Need paid version to get widgets, but best calendar widget I could find, and I tried quite a few. You can display a whole month on the 4 x 4 widget and actually read the appointment descriptions.

Hi,
I'm looking for a "to do" or "task" list app that has a 4x4 scrolling widget. Been looking for a while....
Thanks.
you can combined astrid with a calendar for that function, pure calendar has scrolling and i know one other calendar does(with astrid support), i just can't remember which one ATM
That's what I use and its great like cake.

The other one is Agenda Widget, it has a free version as well which is really functional and has a 4x4 widget, has astrid and gtask integration.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
only issue i have with agenda widget is you cant have one widget for calendars and one for tasks, the calendars seems to be global.
If you have an HTC you can just use their widget.
(widgets -> get more HTC widgets -> tasks (notes sucks))
TaskIt (available at Lakeridge Software in beta form) has a 4x3 (with a 4x4 coming this week). It doesn't support scrolling the tasks, yet. But it will since I just found the code to implement this on ADW.Launcher, LauncherPro and Home++.
My home screen seem to be somewhat empty. On the main one I have the Beautiful Home widget, and to the right I have Switch Widget Pro, and the rest are empty.
Do you guys know of any other good ones? Looking for a good RSS reader, and maybe music player as widgets?
Anything else cool/interesting too
Anyrss reader and mixzing music player....

Am i the only one experiencing big problems with beautiful widgets?
anytime i use it, it slows down all my homescreens like hell (i'm using adw launcher). when i delete it from screen, my phone works smoothly. i tried all settings, refresh rates, etc. nothing helped.
some advice?
I am also using Beautiful Widget with ADW. I use the small home widget and haven't experienced any slowdowns. Try updating the the latest versions of adw and beautiful widgets from the market.
I have only these working fine with Zeam Launcher.

i posted this in your other thread too:
Pure Grid calendar widget
very customizable, size, tons of themes, and when you click it, it takes you too your google calender ect.. i use it.
its only like $2 in the market, make sure its the grid one, not just the one that says calender.
I was looking for one as well, dug through a few and finally settled on Agenda Widget.
Best one
the best one - for me is - jorte - i tryed many apps - http://androinica.com/2010/04/16/jorte-is-a-promising-android-calendar-replacement-app-reviews/
+1 for Pure Grid Calendar Widget
I am using LauncherPro Plus calendar widget, otherwise Android Agenda Widget is the best for me
I tried a few this past weekend, also looking for a good free one. i ended up settling on CalWdiget. Fairly customizable & seems pretty solid so far.
just my personal preference/opinion..
I suppose I'll vote for Android Agenda Widget, even though this whole thread shouldn't even be here...
Agenda Widget
Big fan of agenda widget, free, fast, simple and customizable.
Calendar Pad.
The weekview is, for me, great. There are also numerous widgets with it, including fullscreen ones, other sized ones and (the one I use) a single button widget (showing date) which will take you to your preferred view (weekview for me).
And it's free
Just want to see what everyone's favorite or useful widget is.
1 MEMO (LG)
2 Pure Calender
3 Beautiful weather
4 Live Sports
5 Battery Life
1) Minimalistic Text
2) SiMi Folder/clock
3) Pandora
Those three plus WidgetLocker and LauncherPro basically comprise what I need to install to use a phone.
I also use SoundHound, Flashlight, and Battery Monitor, but they aren't really favorites, just useful.
Battstatt, widgetoid, fancy Widgets, clockr, minimalistic text.
Some do the same thing.

I always thought that most widgets do some serious damage to battery life, so I've avoided them. Is this not the case?
1.) Fancy widgets- home 5x3.
2.) Beautiful widgets- toggles.
3.) Player pro- 5x5.
4.) Picture frame.
5.) Titanium backup- backup all new apps and newer versions.

I'm looking for a the best calendar widget, of the scrollable variety.
I'm coming from launcher pro and I LOVED the calendar widget so a widget like that would be awesome.
Either a standalone widget or calendar app with widget should be fine too..
Any opinions?
i prefer CalWidget (https://market.android.com/details?id=net.eggenstein.android.calwidget) as it's the most customizable calendar widget i found. unfortuntely it's not scrollable
PureGrid is my favorite. They have a transparent skin so all you see is a nice and clean calendar that's scrollable. Tons of different sized widgets available to pick from and lots of skins. Has built-in support for many task apps too. Its somewhere between $1-$2, well worth it IMO.

Thanks for the responses, I'll definitely give those a try.
Right now I'm trying out go launcher ex and the go widgets, and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Jorte in my opinion. Many widget options
