Lock screen calender?

I'm looking for a lock screen that is like a calender list, I used to have this on my iphone and really want this quick list again

best way I know is to get widgetLocker and get a calendar widget..
widgetLocker will probably be the best 2$ you'll spend.
As for the calendar widget there are dozens to choose from. I personally like Gemini Calendar as there are more options to set in the calendar in itself not to mention it has a variety of widget options from compact to large. etc. my 2c

Another vote for widget locker. I like pure calendar.

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

Thanks! I'll check them out..

[Q] Anyone know of a LP style friends widget?

I love this widget in LP, but I've kind of grown attached to Zeam recently. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a similar app that will do what the friend widget does.

There is a widget in the pure series, I think it's called Pure Messenger, but it is a paid app.

Colorize widget is about the closest that you'll get to lp style widgets, but there's no friends widget in it, just facebook/twitter/contacts and some others.

Both good suggestions. Thanks. Trying out Colorized now. I'm going to look some more into Pure as well.

colorized is almost exactly the same as the lp widgets with the exception of the "friends" one missing. And, the agenda(calendar) on the newest version works like a charm for me.

sorry bad post....

Try "photo contacts widget", its almost exactly the same as LP contacts.

[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.

Quick Contacts

Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.

Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.

I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.

Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.

Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.

Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.

Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?

+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable
