Ok, this probably needs to be moved to G2x Q&A. Sorry about that.
Hey all. A bit frustrated with twitter clients because I have two twitter accounts and I was looking for one app to optimize both. I love the Plume scrollable widget, but it doesn't separate tweets well for multiple accounts (i.e. - each in its own widget).
For some reason, the scrollable widget in Tweetcaster has worked only a couple of times - that is, I've placed it on my home screen, physically scrolled it and saw it work. That was... Awhile ago. I desperately want the scroll widget to work because there's no sense in using more than one app if one does what I need. Now when I select one of the three options, I don't get a scrollable widget at all. I've tried it under multiple conditions, and I've either been using the stock, Hellfire Phoenix ROM, with no custom launcher, Launcher Pro, and most preferably GO Launcher. Scrollable widgets option is on and operational because Plume's widget works without fail.
Does anyone know what's going on here?

I can't seem to find any good quality scrollable widgets. I realize most home screens do not support this, but it appears that Launcher Pro Beta does have the option to enable scrollable widgets now.
There are a few applications that I think would be VERY useful with scrollable widgets and wondering if anyone has run across these or any developers that would want to take on this project.
1. Calender application. A scrollable calender (Android Agenda Widget?) would be awesome.
2. An application dock that allows you to scroll through an application list.
Any ideas as to why these things have been developed or if people are working on them?
Email/SMS/Facebook/Twitter scrollable widgets would also be useful.
I'd like to know of one scrollable widget so I could test it out tbh
Pure Messenger widget supports scrolling.
Yeah I hope development picks up on this for sure. Pure messenger is pretty sick.... But it needs friends!
Agenda, contacts, google reader ap anyone?

did you try sliding the launcherpro "dock" to the side already? don't if that's what you want
I do like the new dock on the bottom and how you can add more shortcuts.
And like Trill said, a google RSS reader with a scrollable widget would be amazing. Or how about a slickdeals scrollable widget. Or sports scores scrollable widget. Soooo many options!
I suppose you could use Flyscreen for all of that... Although it seems to cause more delays unlocking the more widgets are loaded.
I am running virtuous 2.0 (sense based) on the inc and find the stock android and sense calendar, mail, messages etc widgets to be either too small to be useful (android) or too big (sense). Any suggestions on where I can get better widgets from? Just moved from an iphone and my ideal widget would be something like lockinfo that u can install from cydia after jailbreaking it. Basically like a landing page which combines weather, calendar, text messages, mail, missed calls, voice mails, tasks, twitter, rss feeds etc in 1 scrollable screen. Then the rest of the home screens can be used for frequently used apps and other widgets.
Finally, how do I get more home screens than just 7. I certainly can use more. With these big widgets, I have to go to the unsorted app folder to find something. Painful.

Well, I figured out at least some of this on my own. For anybody who is in the same position as me, I would recommend Apps Organizer and Multicon. Between them at least I can squeeze in more apps into the home screens. Still not able to find any info on how to get more home screens than 7 though...

I'm not entirely sure you can get more than 7. All the launchers, themes i've seen use 3,5, or 7 screens

Thanks. That's what i am finding too. Perhaps one of the custom roms can incorporate user set number of home screens?

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
I've been wondering how many of their homescreens do people actually use?
I use LauncherPro on my T-Mobile G2x, and I've only ever felt comfortable with just one homescreen. I find the app drawer to be much easier than swiping screens.
I have over 100 apps so I use all 7 screens.

I use all of mine, 2 for news, 1 home, 1 twitter and fb, and one for a 4x4 calender widget
I only use one, and even then I dont use widgets or icons.
I use Launcher Pro and the 3 docks and that does the trick for me.
Love the clean look.
I use adw ex with my screens set to 4x4 and no dock. I kind of use an i phone look with every app displayed on my homescreens so right now im at 6 pages. But i use simplistic black icons and it all comes together great
I'm forced to use at least 6 homes in my sense rom because of widgets, but in aosp rom i used someone less (adw launcher ex FTW! )
3 screens for me.
More widgets
I need more widgets for my homescreens
One here.
I am boring and don't use much of my home screen.
A clock at the top row, and a couple of app icons I use a lot, arranged in an arc that I can reach with my thumb in normal position
I can do my daily tasks on this phone often without even moving my thumb to select, due to the position of the icons
I have 4 but only use 3.

One here using launcher pro with just a beautiful widgets clock and a dock with gmail phone texting and web.use the app drawer for the rest

I use 3, I rather consolidate my apps within folders than spread them across multiple homescreens.
I use Launcher Pro and 5 screens. One for all my rooting/modding apps, one for games, one for frequent contacts, one for tool/productivity apps(no root), and the middle one blank except for the alarm clock app.
Also use all 3 docks.
Droid 2 Global
[ROM]Hexen 1.0.1 (Final)
I use animated Widgets to group similar programs together (all map,navigation; family;messaging) etc and I have it kept to 4 homescreens. I do use and rely on social,task and calendar widgets though.
Also running with Go Launcher Ex or whatever and have frozen/blocked most of the blur/motorola bloatware.

3 screens seems to be the sweetspot.
i like to use that as well.
left for music widget center for weather/calendar widgets and right for appfolders
I use 3-4 on my Dinc, but I like to go either 5x5 or 6x6 for rows and columns. Always beautiful widgets. Ever since cm7 was released, I only use adw launcher ex. For my Nook, I use only one homescreen, and no dock. Both are OCed CM7.

One home screen here. As someone else mentioned, I find the vertical scrolling app drawer easier to navigate than the horizontal navigation of home screens.
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.
