Alternative to Pure messenger widget??

is there a widget like pure messenger that can bring txt,emails,facebook,and twitter messages to a widget? or is there something that comes close?

Get launcher pro plus, it comes with widgets and has what you're looking for.

Launcher pro doesn't have a widget Like that. It's friends widget only handed twitter and fb. And it wont notify you of fb comments either. I use LP and pure messenger. If LP friends widget would display comments I would use it. But until then pure messenger is all we have.

Handcent comes to mind and is very nice. It is also free!

i really just want a widget that brings txt,email,and gmail together...would be nice to have face book and twitter messages (not updates) in there too

Looking for a pure messenger alternative too, every time I add it (scrollable), it's blank

Executive Assistant is an alternative but does not support exchange yet

And did you enable the scrollable mode ???
Scrollable mode works fine. I use it everyday since Pure messenger support it.

I use pure and have zero probs. Did you download K9 for pure? That allows you to use pop and gmail for emails. Is it that ur tired of pure and want something else?

Turns out it's a problem with LP+ & Zeam, had the same problem with the new Touiteur widget, ADW works fine...

I look for an other Messenger Widget, too, that can show me SMS, Emails and Calls in one widget. I Used Pure Messenger for a while. But since an update of K9 for pure they didn't work together. It always comes a Message that i need the Version 3.390-109 of K9. But i have the new one installed.

[Lightweight App alternatives] - Pump your phone with energy!

Hello,
recently I became obsessed with replacing Batter Hungry applications with their low power alternatives which has almost same functions. Every app I try has one full battery cycle. I do not have the values of how many power the apps consumed, you just have to trust me or ignore it. Some of these apps are very simple (I am a simple user, I need phone with awesome battery life and good funcionality).
I am open to alternatives, so write what you are using and think it will be better and I will give it a try
I have Huawei Phone, so I do not need Greenify. EmUI does stopping services by itself.
So here is the list:
Mails : AquaMail(Free/0.99Cents now on sale!) - It does support all email types, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, FastMail, Apple, GMX, AOL and more. It has unified inbox. You can select if you want push notifications on some account or just download messages every X minutes. It is very customizable and more power saving than everything I tried. The interface is kewl too, you can from notification delete /mark as read message etc. Definitely worth a try, now it is on sale ( with free app you can add to the app just one email account). THIS APP SHOULD NOT BE GREENIFIED/KILLED IF YOU WANT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!
I tried : Gmail, BlueMail
Link to playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail
Music: ??? Now my favourite is ported app from sony called Music - It has all kind of features I expect from music player while keeping battery hungriness low.
viz. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728110
I tried: Google Music, Huawei Player, PiMusic Player, and a lot of another one (15+) I did not wrote it down.. Now I will.
Browser: Lighting browser (Free/Paid 0.99 cents) - This browser is amazing, compared of others its incredible. It needs less than 5 MB of storage and has nice minimalistic UI. It has everything you expect from a browser, adblock, tabs, speed, clean UI without adds and more.. Definitely worth a try and did I mention the battery? <3
Link to Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones
Tried: UC Browser, chrome, Naked Browser, Opera, Firefox, Doplhin Browser, Puffin
Facebook Messenger : Messenger Lite (Free) - This messenger is a masterpiece, I do not need the circle overlay from FB messenger, and I do not need to video call to my friends.. This messenger has everything you expect from it, you can connect with your friends and write them messages, emoji and be calling them. I can see who is online and all your contacts. Well I do not need integration with SMS app because for SMS messaging there is a stock app. This is a huge memory and battery saver!! I liked the overlay from original fb messenger but now I do not want it, I am just used to used my phone efficiently.
Link to Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.mlite
Launcher: Now is wining Nova Launcher (Free/Paid) - It is highly customizable launcher, it supports dynamic unread badge, has dark design, you can scale icons and basically do everything with it. It is easy on memory and battery compared to another launchers.
Link to Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
I tried : Arrow launcher, LppLauncher, Flick Launcher, Evie Launcher, Cold Launcher, Apex Launcher, KK launcher, Nougat launcher, DailyDo Launcher and more which I can not remember.
Weather and Widget : Transparent Clock Weather (Free/Paid) - This is a tricky category, I except from weather widget to allow me get to the Clock app ( to setup alarms etc.) by clicking on Time on widget. And this one do, also its battery friendly (depends on fruequency of weather actualizing). It has nice weather and the predictions follows your location.
Link to Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.transparentclockweather
I tried : Yahoo weather, Yo Weather, Weather Live, Weather, YR Weather, Today weather
Facebook app : Simple for Facebook (Free/Paid) - Well this section depends on how much you using facebook, I am a simple user I just read feed and sometimes post some status or upload pics, if this is what you want then this app is for you. It works as a wrapper on facebook web API. If you courious you need to give it a try. This app is huge memory and battery saver. Also its very small it needs just 5,6MB of your storage
This app will help you to get better battery life on your phone Mainly if you are runnning out of RAM or Storage the replaces for FB App and FB messaging app will save you.
I will be updating this post as I will be testing more apps. Currently I am looking mainly for Music player and Weather widget If you know any awesome APP which is battery friendly just let me know and I will try it

BIG caller ID photo

I'm using Google phone on my OG pixel. But the contact photo is too small in call UI. Is there any other phone app with BIG contact photo when in call?

Disable the current phone app and install Google Phone 4.2.136732862 which is the last version of the Google Dialer app with big picture UI.
You can get it here https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/page/3/?q=google-phone

Google Dialer

Anybody know which Google dialer will work for our phone? I'm not sure why the messages and phone app aren't actual Google apps like they are on other Moto phones but I was really enjoying dark mode on the dialer and messages on other phones but every apk I download won't install.

Once i updated my dialler and contacts in the playstore, the dark option is there. Try changing contacts to dark mode and then the phone app.

The truth is I don't know which application you are talking about because the Moto G7 Power and and all Moto devices at least all G family have Android Pure with some Moto Functions added. Meaning that the dialer, Messages and many other apps are the Official Google apps and yes G7 Power. If you think they are not the OG ones just because a feature that is not even available yet, you need to understand that atm is only available in the Dialer and Messages Beta Apps. Go to Play Store look for the Apps and scroll a bit down and Join the Beta Program for each one.
PS.. I think that to this day, the feature/Option for "Dark Theme" is now available for most Google applications stable release.

For the phone/dialer you need the beta version, well at least in my case. Because I enabled Dark Mode on the Messages app but still no option on the dialer settings. I was like well whatever, then I went to the store to see if I was missing something and noticed I haven't joined the Beta Program for Google Dialer yet so I joined and in about a min it updated, and there wmit was the Dark Mode option. ?.

I don't have the phone anymore but if I recall, the messages app at least was not the stock Google one. It sure appeared exactly like it in appearance and function, yet if you went to the play store you could download the actual Google one completely separate and have 2 identical messaging apps except the Google one allowed the dark theme. I remember being confused by that because that was not me experience on other Moto phones which were using the actual Google apps.

Fair enough, maybe its region dependant then, my g7 power has google dialer, contacts and messages out of the box.

Hmm maybe by that time wasn't fully implemented yet probably. But AFAIK all moto devices uses the Google apps since they started to ditch the SystemUI mods and started to use Android as is.

Could have sworn I had g dialer before update
Could have sworn I had the Google dialer before the latest security update, I know I had dark mode at least.
Now I don't. G7 Power from MetroPCS. I still have the Moto contacts and messages, but Google versions as well... And dark mode active in everything, but no dark mode dialer... Looks like it's the Moto dialer..?!
Am I losing my mind or what?

I have the MetroPCS variant as well, it comes with Moto Phone, Messager, and Contacts. I froze them, installed Google Dialer Framework in Magisk, and replaced them with the Google apps from the Play Store.

Any way to disable dialer autorotation?

Is there a way to disable dialer autorotation? It's annoying, when I have to use a left hand to hold a phone.

I didn't get it, if the auto rotation is turned off then no application should change orientation.which dialer app are you using Google or OnePlus?
I am using OnePlus dialer thanks to the awesome port by Shavi_Suri and there's no rotation problem on that.

Yeah, I'm aware there are these apps, but I'd like to know if there's any option to do what I want without additional apps.

No
