What's a good digital calendar?
Jorte, it has a widget that can show a lot of things also.
Its very customizeable.

I use Smooth Calendar Widget and the Launcher-Pro's (paid) calendar widget - they both work with the GMail App beautifully.
D
i would also recommend launcher pro's calender. infact, i got the plus version of LP just for the calender widget
Thanx for the replies, but I'm looking for the one for your home screen, like "februarytwentyfive" or something like that.
ah .... not sure ... I found most of my home screen widgets through the "post your homescreen thread" .... good luck.

Hi all, so. I'm using CM 5.0.7.1 but absolutely love the HTC Sense fullscreen calendar widget. Is there anything similar to that in the market or anything that I can download? The stock calendar widget is lacking, I think.
Thanks!
I think Pure Calendar is the best, when not on SenseUI
Pure Calendar is okay, it's not too expensive. But the Agenda Widget is more flexible, very configurable, well supported, and is free!

Checking out Agenda Widget. Thanks!
Just noticed something I miss from my old phone. I only just noticed it because I haven't had any appointments until now. Is there a way to show your nest appointment prominently, such as on a homescreen or on the lock screen? I notice the lock screen shows calls/voicemail/sms, but not appointments.

Is there any way to do this?

also want.
Still nothing as far as a lock screen, but after some googleing, I found that there are a few apps on the market that let you display this info on the homescreen as a widget. just search for the word "agenda" and a bunch will pop up. Right now I am using Agenda Widget because I can customize it to blend in with my clock. The other ones were functional, but kinda ugly.

for your home screen, use Smooth Calendar, so far the best free widget I tried yet!
Can show up to 3 appointments as far out as you want. Looks clean and simple also.

Try Executive Assistant. It is a little flaky yet (I am using the free version), it does the trick for the meetings and even has a little slide unlock deal instead of the standard android lock screen.
widget locker + pure calendar or launcherpro plus calendar
Another vote for Pure Calendar, the Pure widgets are skinnable so they can have the look you want, and Messenger, Calendar, and Weather Forecast they provide most of what I want on my homescreen.

have been using Pure Calendar widget since day it was released......also check Jorte
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

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.

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
