Ok so lately the past couple of days sense 3.0 has been really laggy on me, why i dont know so i switched back to my usual launcher pro. It is decent but for some reason it is the slowest on the 3d......it is even faster on my epic. So i switched to ADW and it is flying.....got it set up all nice and goody with everything........except one thing i have been trying to do is get the htc weather app to open up when you click on the weather icon on beautiful widgets. It absolutley will not work. It just continues to open up beautiful widgets own weather app. Is this app denied service by third parties or what? Anybody else able to do this? IK IK the weather included in beautiful widgets is decent but i like HTCs weather app better and why shouldnt i be able to use it just becasue im using adw.
Not a real answer, but if you click on one of the day forecasts at the bottom of beautiful widgets weather, it opens htc weather (at least for me with golauncher).

Exactly how it works for me too, and I use ADW.
The wording for weather application in the settings for Beautiful Widgets says, when you click on the 5-day forecast.

Hi.
Does anybody know of a good calendar widget? I've tried some and most require you to use their calendar application. I personally prefer the calender app that comes stock with the vibrant and would like a widget that pulled info from there but looks more like the stock widget on vanilla android.

Im running "android agenda widget". It does exactly what i need and lets me view multiple calendars. Ita free btw

"Pure Calendar Widget" is one of the few paid apps that I have used the entire time since buying them when I had my G1 until now.
Extremely customizable and will allow you to use pretty much any calendar app.
Thanks guys, I'm downloading both right now.
I highly recommend Pure Calendar Widget as well.. excellent application and worth the $

So I bought pure calander widget, as well as messenger widget, very very nice. Granted theres a ton of options, too much to get into right now but so far so good. Nice way to spend the little bit of funds in my account. and the HTC sense skins are a nice touch.
*accidental doublepost, sorry.
The one that comes with launcher pro plus is pretty good. But if you don't use LP I guess its not too helpful.
using agenda widget
started using pure calendar widget today.
3 questions:
-i see someone mentioned you can make it htc sense like? i dont see how???
-when i rotate screen, the widget goes blank for about 2 minutes...not like a little lag and re-draw with takes seconds. it goes completely white for about 1 or 2 minutes, then it all comes back. any ideas?
edit, 1 more question:
-what is the difference between pure calendar widget and agenda widget? pros or cons of each?

You have the option to skin the app. At the bottom in the config screen theres the option to Continue and Skin. Thats where I found mine.
Also which launcher are you using? ADW has an option to enable and disable scrollable widgets, which might be the cause of your problem.
I recently discovered Jorte, which has a good amount of widgets and the calendar app itself is excellent and will fully replace the stock one (my preference) - but I'm pretty sure you can have it open the stock one. It can also sync with Google Tasks although it has to be done manually.
cool, thanks.
in LP, it enabled scrollable widgets and that has seem to fix the going blank problem.
but i think im going to try the agenda widget as pure calendar widget just slows my phone WAY down. It just slows everything down. maybe if i turn off scrollable in pure calendar and lp it will work better...
Has anyone found a scrolling fb widget that does not crash when you look at it? Or am I the only one having these problems?
I tried Facez, Colorize Widget, Seesmic and probably others that I forgot. Every single one caused problems
What do you use?
Launcher Pro plus works for me

Hm....but I don't want to switch to a different launcher just to have one widget. I currently use Sweeter Home after spending a lot of time with ADW and Zeam.
LP+ is out of the question

That's right. Easily one of the best out there. But now that I'm starting to get the hang of Sweeter Home, there's no way back
What's the benefit of purchasing the Plus version? Is it worth it for the Gtab?
The calander widget is the best I have ever used. Can make it full screen and looks awesome. The Facebook widget is epic. Also the fact that it lets you resize any widget is as practicle as it is awesome. Pay for it.... your only doing you, and good app developer justice. They have a great free app and the paid version is totally worth it.

^ 100% agree. The Facebook widget alone is worth it - it's basically the one from HTC Sense but ya know, without the crappy Sense.
You guys convinced me. Just bought it.
Its good to know that it adds some useful widgets. With all the other apps I have bought from the market I only have to buy it once and I can use it on both my phone and my tablet. Will launcher pro plus do that too or is it one per device?
I love ADW (free version) on my OG Droid and I've been trying out Launcerpro on my gtab. I'm finding that all I care about on my gtab is the icons/widgets on the screen and the app drawer. I have no interest in the dock.
I'm thinking about trying Zeam launcher for the simplicity. Anyone have experience with Zeam on their tablet?
Yes, the best part of launcher pro plus is the widgets. The calendar and agenda widgets are nice.

I purchased this on your recommendation! Now can you tell me how to change the launcher settings so I can get more rows and columns?

Zeam is excellent, a very fast launcher. You can change the number of columns and rows up to 8 and autofit widgets into the grid so it looks nicer. The only desired feature for me is the ability to hide apps from the app drawer. Too bad Zeam is no longer is development.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a perfect weather + clock/alarm widget for me. I've been using Fancy Widget for a while, it works fine for me (I can see weather info, I can see time, I can see when the next alarm rings), except there's no direct access to Alarm for it brings me to clock setting instead (and I need another tap to go to alarm).
I've looked at Beautiful Widget, but a bit hesitant to buy it due to some battery drain comments. Does Beautiful Widget drains battery significantly on Arcs? Can it access alarm directly from the widget?
Thank you In Advance.
Give GO Weather a go (pun very much intended) ... Been using it & it's quietly elegant.

Hmm... I still can't go to alarm directly from the widget. Or will it always be like that until I install 3rd party alarm app?
I'm using beautiful widgets and having no issue at all with battery life. Very happy with it.

Can it access stock alarm directly like the stock clock widget when you tap it ?
If it's not possible, I probably would just stick with the fancy widget.
Your could do that in the past, (asigning whatever app you like to different areas of the beautifull widget)
i have not used it for 6 months thou.

Does use automatic Geolocation?
I'm currently running beautiful widget and i'm quite happy with it...
Best weather widget IMO is snowstorm. Small, elegant, customisable, skinnable. Updates based on location. Accurate forecasts.
Decent digital clocks are a problem, though - most of them are pretty ugly looking to me. Quite like the small sony one that's built-in, if only it opened the clock/alarm apps when you clicked it...
+1 for snowstorm
For the clock use "glass widgets" which will allow you to choose which app to launch once you have clicked it

Hi I'm comming from an HTC Inspire 4g running HTC sense 3.5 didn't think I'd miss it as much as I do I really miss the widgets like the Message widget and the mail widget I can't seem to find anything like them on the market can anyone suggest somthing?
Wow
Anybody got anything?
As far as I know, the only Sense type widgets you get on the market are clocks. You cannot run the actual sense widgets without sense. Pretty much bad news if you're looking for the message and mail widgets, you have to get an HTC phone.
I would suggest looking for alternatives and forging a new love for something different or even better.
Yeah I see nothing like them on the android market except clocks and weather widgets I don't understand why someone hasn't copied the message widget or email widget I loved having them on my home screens quick and easy to get to

Theres Themes bro, and there is a sense one. Just saying
Beautiful Widgets, APW (already mentioned), the Go family of widgets (GoSMS for example), Widgetsoid. Just do a search in the Market. Most are free or free trial.
