LaucnherPro widgets

I love launcher pro (i just bought the paid version), but i miss the sense clock and music widgets.
I know about beautiful widgets, but how comparable is it to the sense weather/clock widget?
Also, what's a replacement music widget that allows FF/play/RW/ and shows album art?
Any help appreciated!

I missed the sense clock too but beautiful widgets has a lot of clock and weather skins. I got one that matched more with my theme.
I use doubletwist for my music player. They only have a small widget but they are going to release a bigger widget. MusicGo has a similar music widget as htc but that is foreign.

I use Weather & Toggle Widget for my Sense clock replacement. I used to use Pure Music Widget for the music widget. I don't know if Beautiful Widgets has animated weather like the Sense clock/weather widget but Weather & Toggle Widget does. If you flash a CM ROM they have a few music widgets to choose from with album art and play controls too. That's what I use now.

Seeking some widgets...

After using LauncherPro and being fed up with it's poor performance, I decided to switch over to the much lighter weight Zeam Launcher. However I'm looking for certain free or paid widgets to replace what was available to me in TWLauncher as Samsung widgets or the LauncherPro widgets. Specifically, I'm looking for large friends stream, calendar and bookmarks widgets which I could use with Zeam.. Alternately, is there any way I could use the LP or even the Samsung widgets in Zeam Launcher ?

for friend streams Tweetdeck is a good one which can be found othe marker for free.
As for calendar there is another free widget on the market just search up calendar widget.

Well, I didn't really like TweetDeck. I'm looking for a widget that brings twitter and facebook updates straight to my desktop and is scrollable. I'll check out the calendar widgets...

Bump.
Guys, some help please...

Pure widgets are fine.
You can take a look at them on this website: http://koxx3.wordpress.com/pure-widgets-descriptions/
I especially like pure grid calendar and pure messenger.
Both are not free

[Q] 2x2 Messaging Widget

Hi,
Does a 2x2 Messaging Widget exist? I had MotoBlur messaging widget on my Moto Cliq/Dext but it doesn't exist on my new Samsung Galaxy S.
Thanks!

if you use LauncherPro Plus, you can resize the messaging widget so it is smaller if you increase the number of columns and rows

oh great! thx!
do you know a weather widget for launcherpro? i had to install a 3rd party app to get it

i use beautiful widgets but there are hundreds of others

Beautiful Widgets is not free but well worth the cost.

Yr.no isn't to bad

[Q] What are your must have widgets?

After some searching, it didn't seem there was a thread simply discussing great homescreen widgets. I'll be getting my first Android tablet tomorrow, so I'd love to hear what widgets you've found the most useful on the G Tablet. What can't you live without?

Launcher Pro widgets are awesome, very similar to HTC Sense widgets.

Did you buy the full version? Hows the calendar widget. I have yet to find a better calendar widget that works for me like the HTC Sense calendar widget.
Can you post a pic of the largest caledar widget Launcher Pro has?
Thanks,
Scott

You do have to buy launcher pro to get widget access but its cheep and worth it. Launcher pro has 3 or 4 sizes to chose from. If you plan on rooting the Vegan 5.1 rom has a calander widget that is full screen and works amazing.

If you setup LP 8 columns x 5 rows the Widgets fill about half the screen. The calendar widget is very nice, it's not an exact clone of the sense version but pretty close. Gotta pay to unlock the use of the widgets.

Jorte is a great calendar program, with a superb tablet widget. Sync to Google calendar and the widget can display a full month, with daily detail(!), not just icons. I love it.

I just grabbed the full version of Launcher Pro Plus. Very worth it! The transitions (cube, rotate, flip and shrink) are very cool.

vegan has a calendar widget? I don't see it in the widget list...

News
I can't seem to find a good news widget that is in column format and updates about 8 news items on my screen at once. News and Weather and GoodNews aren't working for me. Does anyone use one that they like?

And to avoid hijacking the thread, the main widgets I use are:
~LauncherPro Calendar
~TweetDeck (though the default Twitter and Facebook widgets are not bad)
~Sense Analog Clock Dark
~ScoreMobile
~Bookmarks

I use the launcher pro Widgets and typoclock permanently on the screen. If I'm listening to music I put the mixzing widget on the screen.
I'm going to check out jorte now though.

I tried Jorte (which I use and love on my phone) on the g-Tab, but the text was all fuzzy... I suppose I need to play around with the settings a bit. Anyone have settings that work well..?

Pulse is great. It's not a Widget but does a good job at what you are looking for.

Give Pulse a try. You can Add/remove different news sources and have many of them at once on your screen.

I looked for a list of widgets and was unable to find one. So Im starting a list here. Please post a list of widgets you're using or ones you know of that work good on the G Tab. Thanks.

Good thread idea. I'm a newb, and still looking for good widgets.
So far I'm using Fancy Widget, and Widgetsoid.

Here's a list of the widgets I'm using or have used:
Beautiful Widgets tablet beta
Fancy Widget
Elixir(has tons of widgets and info buttons available)
Weatherbug Elite
Express News
Elixir is the one I'm using at the moment for all power control options, and Beautiful Widgets Tablet for my weather widget.

Do all the Elixir buttons work? I tried the Sound toggle as well as Reboot of Widgetsiod, but neither seem to work.

I haven't tried the reboot toggle, but the sound/mute toggle works well.

Im still trying to find a good RSS widget.

Scrollable News widget is great for RSS feeds. You do need a launcher that supports scrollable widget, such as LP or ADW

I use WeatherBug on my phone and love it but it FCs on my gtab. Instead I use The Weather Channel's widget, it works well and with the largest version it shows plenty of information.
For my RSS needs I'm currently using Google Reader but am not always happy with it. I wish Reddit is fun had a widget.
I also use the stock Power widget.

That looks nice. What launcher is that? It looks very clean.

It's VT Launcher and I used the LauncherProIcons app to get the LP style icons, and bettercut to apply them. The rest is CM7 with the honeycomb status icons addition.

Widget failed to load
How many widget users have the issue of a widget failing to load after a few days, the only solution being dump the widget and reload it.
Not a big issue, just wondering if it is a launcherPro issue (my default) or a modded gtab issue. LauncherPro native widgets seem to do better.

Hi manikin13,
I havent really had issues unless Im messing around with the settings on my launcher. Im using VTL.Launcher and when i changed the dock background settings some widgets went squirrley. I would say its your launcher. Maybe uninstall and reinstall might fix it.

if anyone needs a good news widget, AtomaRSS is definitely one of the best
