hey guys so basically I was wondering if its possible to layer or combine widgets on the home screens in Android like you could in spb mobile shell ? the reason I ask is because I really like having my weather and clock together like say fancy widget but that doesn't allow as much customization as I would like any ideas ? thanks
I know Launcher Pro plus will let you resize widgets so you can overlap them. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but it was the only thing that I could think of.

Launcher Pro sucked on my Inspire. HAVE TO PAY to put widgets on....BS!!! Uninstalled it.
Why is that bs? Do you think all apps should be free or something?
LPP is totaly worth the small price tag. It is a great app.

Just wondering if there are any launchers that is similar to Sense but without all the bloat sense has? I really like sense's favorites and friends stream. Does Launcher Pro do all that?
If you buy the full version of launcher pro, it includes a set of widgets that are modeled after the sense widgets. The calendar and people widgets are nearly identical, and the social network widgets are actually superior imo.

Sweet! Excellent first post their buddy!
What about Go Launcher? Does it have similar widgets as you described?

In the admittedly short time I've played with GO Launcher, It doesn't appear to have extra widgets. However, as mentioned before, Launcher Pro Plus has a contacts widget that you can set to show favorites. I highly recommend LP plus. I've been using Launcher Pro for over a year on every device I've had. I just can't find a launcher thats as smooth and bug free.

fancy widges and beautiful widgets are both good and give a decent sense like clock.
I would definitely recommend lpp. The widgets are quite similar to what sense has to offer, except I really like the sense news widget which lpp does not have. I have yet to find a similar news widget on the market that compares to sense, does anybody know if there is one available?

Here's a question, I'm coming to the bolt from the original Moto Droid. Lovin the Bolt but hate the Phone app, the moto would list frequently dialed number on the opening screen and you could search easier as well. Wondering if there is a mode that changes just the phone app. The rest of sense I like but the phone app drives me crazy!
I went ahead and purchased LPP. Running smooth. Next purchase will be beutiful widgets. Thanks guys!

You can use Go Contacts. This includes Go Dialer.
I do not like the HTC Sense dialer/contacts much either. Cannot wait for CM.
Anybody know of a good calendar widget that's something like the stock Calender widget? I'm looking for one that just doesn't show the calender but one that shows upcoming events. Pure calender widget sucks.

I like smooth calendar, which I believe was free. Doesn't take up too much space on the screen and is easily customizable.

Are there any calenders that will import Google calender's event colors? So annoying seeing all my events the same color, gets confusing.

Calengoo. That is one reason that I went with it, as I too got annoyed at trying to make sure the colors stayed consistent.
I like Agenda Widget.
I use CalWidget, does what I need it to do. Just displays whats coming up, you can also use custom colors and such.

You might also want to try Elixir 2 (make sure to install Elixir 2 widgets -- it's separate).

Elixir 2 or Battery Monitor widget

Zooper is pretty nice. You can try that. You just have to configure it the way you want
System monitor
Bright Red Nexus 5
I've been looking for a cpu widget for weeks. Ive installed almost everything.
All I want is a nice looking widget supporting all cores showing graph, bar or gauge with mhz. I found one that actually looks good. Paid for it and ran for a while. It just stopped working after a hour sometimes 2... no support
Anyone know of anything? System monitor nearly did but the cpu widget was the only unthemable part of it.

Hi,
System Tuner Pro?
Accurate, and tunable with all current system info but for battery (from the same dev) try Android Tuner (a mix with System Tuner and Battery Monitor)... With a few notifications bar info (for that Cool Tools is great too).
The widget in System Tuner work perfectly for me.

great one!
I am looking for a simple weather and also a switch widget which does not consume a lot of RAM. I have tried a few of the more popular widgets available through the play store but they're either not very customizeable or too power hungry.
I'm currently using Google Now for my primary weather updates, but it does not look aesthetically pleasing.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a weather and a switch widget?
The CM11 clock/weather widget does quite well. I been using it on AOKP ever since it's been implemented in CM. As for a switch widget I just use the built in power control widget with a transparent background.

I was thinking more of something not ROM-linked widgets. I'm on stock, and would like to keep it that way.

LTE/4G widget for stock nexus 5
Is there widget for quick switch LTE/4G on and off for stock roms? All apps in play store just open mobile networks settings. My runtime is ART, so xposed does not work, if i am right?
I use widgetsoid, been around for ages, quite simple but does the job. Have mine on my quick drawer of action launcher.
No complaints.

Eye in the sky weather widget looks the best imo. It has pretty decent customization options too. As for switches...not sure, I don't use any.
