I've seen some screenshots of people having really big picture widgets on their screens, taking up 4x4 spaces.
I know that you can do that with ADW (resizing widgets) however I tried that and it looked like blurry, pixelated crap.
Perhaps I just used too small of an image? Or is there some mysterious larger picture widget I can't find in the market? I'm not a fan of ADW Launcher, so tips are welcome.
Photo gallery widget, on the market. $1.99.

Now that most of us are using 2.2 with no sense, I was wondering if any fellow forumers had any alternative widgets, available through the market, that helps ease the pain of using Sense for the moment?
At this point, Ive found Pure Grid Calendar Widget to be a great alternative for the Sense Calendar but Im still trying to find something to replace the "people" widget on sense, to fast dial your favorites in the same manner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
This is why I am sticking with sense. The phone.apk is god-like, and I couldn't live without it.
I think launcher pro plus has Widgets similar to sense.

Launcher Pro Plus now has calander, people and bookmarks widgets. There's beautiful widgets for flip clock/weather...I really like Dialer One for the phone, better than the sense one IMO. That about covers it I think...
Actually, Launcher Pro Plus now has a messaging widget as well.
I like Fancy Widget for the flip-clock/weather, but not quite as much as I liked the Sense clock/weather widget. I'd really like something that could show multiple cities of my choosing, in addition to current location, which Sense provided.

AFAIK, Fancy Widget is off the market due to some HTC pressure. =(

Hey, I know it's in these forums somewhere I just can't find it. How do I get fullscreen wallpapers on my Samsung Captivate, will froyo offer it?
Thanks in advance
What exactly do you mean? Wallpapers can already cover the entire screen...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Well the way the wallpapers are now they stretch over however many home screens we have. Well, I went minimalist having only one screen and it still gives the stretch look. I just want the fullscreen as the iphone has.
Thanks
In Launcher Pro you can disable wallpaper scrolling. I think that would get you what you are looking for.
I can't seem to get beautiful widget to display the skins. I would love to get one of those htc looking clocks or any other visual stunning widgets.(I'm a sucker for sleek looking widgets and don't mind paying for quality.) I'm currently using launcher pro and all I get with beautiful widgets is a crappy grey square with a clock. If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or suggest something I would love the help.
Thanks
try going into launcher pro and setting your columns and rows to 7 and then hold on the widget to allow you to adjust the size of the widget with launcher pro and make it a little bigger or whatever you want.

Had that problem after installing B5.1. Went into Titanium and cleared data on BW and all is well now.
Are there any decent weather apps out there that work properly with the note's huge 720p screen?
Reason I ask this is because after recently using my personal favourite weather app (beautiful weather) it only takes up a part of the screen and looks ugly.
It has not been updated to stretch and make use of the note's screen.
The note comes preinstalled with accuweather but I do not like it's interface & when looking at the temperatures of other countries it's all over the place.
Any good recommended weather apps made specially for the note or at least take up the whole width of the screen?
Eye candy is a must have, something good looking like beautiful weather.
How about ocean weather.

HTC Sense style weather
Coming from 9 years of HTC devices, I am quite attached to the Sense Weather Clock.
Fancy Widgets has the best app that works well and puts waether and time on the homescreen and links to the stock clock.
There are many other skins included than the Sense one in Fancy Widgets.
How about Beautiful Widgets? I'm using it myself (on my DHD) and it works and looks (after some theming) awesome.
I think it's free at Getjar, but it may have been a "app of the day" thing when i got it.
Beweather is also good.. it also has HTC like or even better animations of the weather when u tap them..
P.S- its free at get jar too..
Thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated.
I think the best looking weather app I've seen posted here was the Fancy Widgets which I will try.
BazookaAce recommended beautiful widgets which is great and I've tried.
Problem with beautiful widgets is that it's made for devices which are 800x400, which is what you have.
As the Galaxy note is 1280x800 it does not stretch in full screen and looks horrible.
Im using yahoo weather.

I use Beautiful Widgets and Go Launcher EX does a great job of re-sizing the widgets. I have setup my grid 5 wide and 6 high and the only problem now is finding enough widgets to fill the screens.

On the contrary...BW has widgets that expand to the full screen. I tried them all & stuck with BW.

After trying a few weather apps I preferred the one you mentioned, beweather followed by beautiful widgets...
I decided to stick with beweather pro. It's a great looking app having an excellent interface as well as being easy to configure and customize.

Can you please explain how?
I have gone through everything, but can't change it from 4 columns wide to 5.
Cheers.
The launcher has to support it. Its a launcher and not a widget feature. Currently Zeam, ADW (Ex?), Launcher Pro (Plus) and Go Launcher Ex support widget resizing, there are maybe more, dont know.

Snowstorm on my SGSII from few months ago
Currently using BW
I just barely got the Nexus 7 and I have never used android devices before. I have seen images of people who have a pretty sweet set up and others who totally demolished it. Can anyone give me ideas on what widgets to get, how I can customize? Now ideas on how to but what programs will let me do that.
Thanks
Beautiful widgets has some pretty decent weather and clock widgets.
Nova launcher was the first thing I added.
buy beautiful widgets or hd widgets. if you want to further tink with it download a launcher such as nova. with a launcher you will have alot more control over the appearance of your app folder etc.
