I remember having a notepad widget on an ASUS transformer tablet (at least I believe that was it) that I liked. It was a widget that you could handwrite notes on the homepage and flip through them and back again.
I am looking to find something similar for the note. It would be perfect for it. Basically handwrite memos, todos, shopping lists, or whatever on the widget and flip through them without having to go into an app or do anything but a flick of the finger.
Anyone know of similar apps?

I'm looking for a note widget where you can put a custom note/reminder/etc and have it show up on one of your home screens. I tried "sticky note" but it's only 1x1 so it's too small to even see the note. One where you can customize the size would be best. Anyone know any good ones?
I use GTask beta. It syncs with your google tasks. Very handy!
It's the same size widget as google calendar.
Hi guys,
I just got froyo on my desire, so no htc sense for me, which is not such an issue as i didn't really use any of the htc sense stuff, except people widget. Now, I can't seem to find a similar replacement on the market.
Does anyone know of a simple people widget that works the same way as the htc one?
Cheers
you wont find anything as pretty as the sense widgets but if your looking just for the function try contacts sidebar it works for me
i just tried contacts sidebar, and its good but it only has 4 contacts. Does anyone know of a widget where I can choose a "group" of contacts such as "favorites (starred)" and it shows them in a list. I don't really care if the contacts are scrollable like the htc people widget, as long as I can show more than 4 and i can scroll through them with an arrow or something like that.
Also, it would be nice if i can just choose the starred contacts and not have to select contacts manually.

People/contact widget. Type Sagrebin in the marketplace. They have a free trial and a paid widgets. Exact copy
actually i found this app called speeddialer. pretty much everything i was looking for. its a 1x4 widget and you can add as many contacts as you like. only downside is that it will ONLY do the default action for that contact, which is more than good enough for me right now
thanks all for your replies.
The only thing I miss about Sense is the 'News' widget where I had all my RSS feeds plugged in and had a full screen widget that would scroll. Haven't found anything close to this anywhere else. If that's too much I'd even take one that didn't scroll..maybe list the headline and maybe a short summary, 4 or 5 on the widget, then hit a button to go to the next screen with 4 or 5 headlines.. clicking on them opens up the story. There are plenty of RSS apps but none with decent widgets. Anyone want to do this? I would think there'd be some demand for this..
So, had a thought for an app. Preamble:
There's currently, that I can find, no 'perfect for me' book reader app. To me, the perfect app would read html (images not needed, nothing fancy, (p) and (br) tags would be plenty). Txt would be nice, epub a luxury. There's apps that do txt and epub already...
So, basically, looking for an app to display html. Okay, so, the browser does that - what it doesn't do, is keep track across sessions of where you left off.
So why widget... because scrollable widgets are possible. What I'm picturing: a Tajm-like in appearance, close to full-screen widget (Tajm being white text on either clear or semi-trans black text-based clock), some interface (ideally not a graphic button, but not sure how to otherwise handle it) to change from one file to another, which displays the html body text in a chooseable font color and size, scrollable vertically, with some method to bookmark / dogear position to carry across reboots / etc.
It's an app I'd happily pay for.
Forgive me, I haven't played with much Android customization beyond the options in Nova Launcher since my Skyrocket days, and I haven't done any coding since the late 80's in BASIC and tiny bit of PASCAL so compiling custom stuff isn't something I'm interested in. What I want is the look of minimalist launcher were I can control the name of the app, for example "Internet" for my browser, whichever it may be, and have a list of half a dozen similar text shortcuts on my home screen.
There are several minimalist launchers out there that have the look of what I want, but I cannot change the name of the app- the minimalist launchers which do allow me to change the name of the app have other crap on the screen (like the alphabet on the right hand side representing the app drawer) which I do not want. I'm thinking the simple solution here is for me to create a widget (shortcut) with a simple text icon and it just launches the app I link to it. And no, I haven't named any of the dozen or so of launchers I have been trying out of respect to the hard word the dev's put into them. Not trying to call anyone out here, just looking for a back door into my weird solution. I'd be perfectly happy with a simple launcher which allows app re-naming and text shortcuts, but I think the proper direction is a widget which just acts as an app shortcut.
Something like this:
Internet
Phone
Voicemail
Text
Internet
Navigation
And a simple swipe up for the rest of the app drawer. I am a very light user, I hate 'social media,' don't use my phone for video streaming or any of that stuff and will be running a de-Googled Nexus 5 on Oreo that will only leave my desk on those occasions which I foresee the need for an actual mobile device on my person that day.
Yeah yeah, my next cake day is the big Five-Oh. Shoot me.
