Hey, I'm looking for some awesome, handy Widgets for my galaxy note and want to see what everyone else is using.
Post your favorite Widgets and even a screenshot, and show off your androids home screen(s).

Best widget ever is CalWidget, it lets you add yours lessons shedule to home screen or just all events in calendar. It. Is. Awesome. Another useful widgets are: Resizable Sticky Notes (just write any text in it and keep it on homescreen), Ultimate Custom Clock Widget (as the name says), Battery Widget? Reborn! (best battery percentage widget I have found in market).

Ive just released a widget pack ( search for miromind - widgetpack ) to the market which contains:
An application dock widget (4x1) which can have as many shortcuts as you like and can be browsed directly from the homescreen.
Clicking on the widget will give you an easy manager which allows you to add applications and all shortcuts like contacts, bookmarks etc and arrange them how you like.
And it contains a clock designer widget (1x1/2x2) which allows you to easily create your own personal new clocks by selecting the graphics for the clock dial and hands.
Just bought this. This is something I was def looking for. I like it so far. Have 2 running on main screen. Nice.
Sounds useful. When XDANDROID works a bit better on my Diamond, I'll consider buying.
So where is the download link than i can try it
can't find it in the market
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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
OK, where to start. I've been searching forums and the internet in general trying to find a way to mix and match Fancy widget & Beautiful Widgets to get the desired effect I'm looking for.
I've been trying endlessly to find a way to get Fancy widget to open up Beautiful Widgets Forecast when I touch the weather icon and there seems to be no easy way to do this (if it can be done at all).
Now, I must say I have tried Fancy Widget, Beautiful Widgets and Weather & Toggle Widget and so far I love the look of Fancy Widget, love the look of Beautiful Widgets Forecast and didn't like Weather & Toggle Widget at all.
I have noticed that the Forecast app/add-on does appear in my Recent apps when I long press Home; so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me figure out a way to get Fancy Widget to see it as an app when choosing an app to open when touching the weather icon.
Also, Beautiful Widgets by default brings up the Alarms section of the Clock app but I can only get Fancy Widget to bring up the Clock app instead of directly bringing up the Alarms section. If anyone knows a way to achieve this also, I'd greatly appreciate it.
What are the best Weather apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!
Looks like Beautiful Widgets will take the win here, but I'm sure many will want another app/widget that's free.
weather bug--free
For Weather you are spoilt for choice.
Besides what has already been mentioned there's:-
eWeather HD Widget & Barometer ~ £1.85
Palmary Weather Pro ~ £1.85
Weather Pro ~ £2.13
Go Weather ~ Free
...... and many, many others which I will leave for someone else to add to.
i used optimus x2 weather widget..
its called today briefing..
I'm by no means well-versed in weather apps as I'm only starting to play with them, but these are my observations so far. Accuweather has nice icons that I like but keeps force closing on me. Hope that will be fixed soon. Genie news and weather is good too, you can choose to display just weather.
Beautiful Widgets is my choice. Fully customizable with downloadable skins for Clock, Weather, Battery widget, and Toggle Widgets.
Press the weather area and it will launch your choice of Weather App *I use WeatherBug Paid (I try to support if its a mainstay)* the Radar can be slow though but it works..
Press the Time spot and will launch you choice of Clock or Alarm. *I use Gentle Alarm*
Press the Date area and will launch your choice of Calendar. *I use Jorte*
All of that is customizable. For instance if you wanted to you could config it to launch Angry Birds on press of any of above or any other app or shortcut of your choosing.
I love the Animated Weather effects. though last week during Snowpocylpse here is Chicago area I thought the drifting was a bit overkill... LOL
I have had a hard time finding widgets that match the same wisth and height as the stock widgets that come on TW. The few I have found to match or are very close I will list here. If anyone else knows of any please reply with what those are. Hopefully we can get a good list going for those of you out there that are as OCD as me about widgets matching.
