Is there an app that is a widget with scrolling news headlines? I would like something that would scroll the news headlines on my homescreen, sort of like the bottom on the screen on a cable news channel. Does that make sense? I know that such an app would likely be a battery killer, just curious if it exists.

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.
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.
..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??
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.
