..features similar to the widget that came with LauncherPro.
I have LauncherPro Plus but prefer Nova for my GNEX & N7.
I'm currently using TweetCaster, but HATE HATE HATE the fact that I can scroll thru the tweets, but clicking on a tweet with a link or anything else, just opens TweetCaster and then I have to scroll down and look for the tweet I was reading.
Basically I want a Twitter widget (If it exists) that I can place on a homescreen, scroll thru the tweets on my homescreen, and when I click a link, opens up in the browser of my choosing.
Is there a widget that does this??

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..
I'm looking for a facebook widget similar to what Friendstream offers. I have yet to find a scrolling widget that doesn't show the farmville spam. LauncherPro's widget shows the spam. I'd love to check out some AOSP roms, but without an alternative to FriendStream, I just can't make the jump.....
You could try pure messenger widget. It provides a similar function and is very customisable. However, that does make it hard to setup in the way that you want it to be.

When I had problem with the farmville spam showing up on my tweetdeck timeline, I went to facebook and explicitly disabled the farmville notifications from the timeline by clicking on the little "x" on the notification and choosing "hide" or something. After I did that it stopped showing up on tweetdeck and facebook.
So, maybe it isn't something with the widget or app, but something you should disable from the facebook website.
I had the Mytouch 4G, before I got this phone, and what I miss the htc sense twitter widget that came with it. It was just a box widget on your home screen with no viewable tweets, and you just tap on it and update your twitter, is it possible to move that over to the G2X? Or get it by chance? I could constantly tweet without opening twitter, but the twitter for android widget is not good at all, do not like it.

No, its not. Sense twitter requires the rosie framework which is proprietary to HTC.

Each twitter app has different widgets. I would try a few different apps and see if any have widgets you like as much or more. Tweetdeck for example has a "Post" widget that just shows the avatar for your account, a text field that you can tap to tweet, and a camera button.
Also, there are apps that let you create shortcuts directly to some portion of an application. I think both LP and ADW can. Wouldn't be as convienent as a 3rd party app widget, but you could create a shortcut that went straight to the post page in the twitter app.
Just use Launcherpro Plus.

Op wants a widget that does not show tweets.
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?
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.
