Scrolling widgets make great use of the limited space on our mobile displays. Now, more launchers and even Google's Android OS 3.0 seem to be swiping widgets up and down. Searching the forum and market, it was remarkably difficult to find a scrollable widget with the features I wanted. So I figured it might help to start a collection with those I've we've found. ツ

Note: While some of these may not provide exactly the size we'd want, most of these launchers let you manually adjust the size to your liking. Combined with Font Size or LCD Density Changer, you can really fit a lot into a tiny space (both $$ and require root).
I'll include links, barcodes, screen caps, and some helpful details. I'd ask others to do the same where possible. Hopefully, we'll see more development around this.

Are we missing any others? Perhaps some still in testing here on XDA?
I love scrollable news widget.
If anyone misses the Galaxy S news widget this is a good replacement and you can personalize it!
I use the Pure Messaging Widget trying to replace the Launcher Pro's Twitter and Facebook version while running ADW.
I bought ADW EX and the Pure Messaging widget. And some reason I'm getting force closes. I also don't like Pure Messenger how it keeps launching http://touch.facebook.com every time I click a link vs the Facebook App like Launcher Pro's widget does.
I do like the fact that you can customize and add themes. I like to have my Twitter and facebook full pages and 2 separate apps. It is kind of a pain that you can't save layouts because if one freaks out you have to build it from scratch again.
The end result is nice, but is a pain to keep running and I find that it doesn't like to update when it should although I have both Twitter and Facebook to update 15min.
Just to add on, for those into GTD apps, Due Today has a scrollable widget too. Really powerful app.

Launch-X Pro just got a huge update, and has built in support for scrolling now!
Is the thread dead?
Not dead I hope. It wasn't easy finding these; most are poorly advertised as "scrollable", if mentioned at all. Though I do fear the collection may already represent every scrollable widget currently available. Definitely let me know if I've missed any.
I can only hope to help spread the idea, perhaps encouraging more developers to think "outside the box" and push these few even further with their own potential. Fortunately, Android development is still in its infancy and growing exponentially. If others find these as useful as I do, I'm sure the list (and our home screens) will be filling out nicely over the coming months.
PS: I spotted some helpful developer resources on the Appwidget Extensions Google Group and there's talk of starting a wiki which I think would be great. I'll add these to the OP.

Yeah it's kinda sad. Colorize is awesome but I want to be able to see both Facebook and Twitter entries in one widget. I just want a widget that looks like LPP's Friend and Calender ones, but no one has made anything similar. Pure Calender is just plain ugly even if it's very functional.

You're not alone, Vulpix. Colorize ended up being the widget that I was looking for and one I've most recommended to others (mostly because its poorly named/advertised). However, I too really wanted to see all my social networks aggregated. I emailed the developer gently requesting exactly that, along with my compliments and a small bug report. Haven't heard back yet but I'm sure they're just as busy as the rest of us. Regardless, I've got Colorize plaster across several of my screens. Still, might be worthwhile if others weighed in.
tks for sharing
tks for sharing these wonderful app. Helps me find exactly what I want!! thank u
This is great, thanks so much!
Hey AquaeAtrae, I noticed a mistake. Launch-X is an app, not a homescreen launcher. You might want to remove that, because it's more like a Folder Organizer app.
Right you are! My bad. I've moved it down with the other widgets and added screencaps. Thanks Vulpix.
ARISE FROM THE DEAD! Got one new one to add: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.piusvelte.sonet
It's another social widget, reviews are not very good right now, but the author has been very active on his project hosting website. Who knows, this might actually be good if he sorts out all the bugs.

A scrollable note app with a widget that syncs with simplenote.com account!
Putting this thread together to give you guys a variety of Launchers i found on the market. So rather than having to find them all over the place i will keep everything here in one place and will try and find as many as i can and update the thread with any further updates the developers release for the launchers.

Zeam Launcher
Description
To add Applications grid shortcut, select Add > Shortcuts > Applications grid.
Try toggle Manage wallpaper if screen scrolling isn't smooth, select Preferences > Workspace > Manage wallpaper.
Zeam, thanks to its minimal aesthetic, not only looks fast but feels fast. It's also incredibly simple to use, and unlike the other launchers it actually works very well out of the box.

Lightning Launcher
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL Launcher Pro
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
Features:
Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer
Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.
Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns
Configurable number of homescreens: from 1 to 9 with configurable default homescreen
Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock
Configurable Dock icons size
Configurable "swipe down" and "swipe down" independently to any of the following:
Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed
Configurable Support for launcher auto-rotation
Configurable Infinite looping of homescreens
Configurable support for scrollable widgets
Configurable bounce effect on homescreen transitions
Configurable wallpaper scrolling
Configurable transition speed of homescreens

Chameleon Launcher
Description and features
Chameleon is a revolutionary tablet-specific launcher that lets you create multiple home screens, each with your own layout of widgets and apps. The Chameleon system includes an innovative context based home screen system giving you the most relevant information that you want, when you want it.
The Next Generation of Widgets.
Android widgets are not all created equally - and that's the problem - so we decided to raise the bar. The result is widgets that look beautiful together and are as easy to layout as drawing on a screen. Take a look at some of our other widgets or build your own with our custom API.
-Calendar (Coming Soon!)
-Clock
-Facebook
-Google+(Coming Soon!)
-Instagram
-Media Player (Coming soon!)
-RSS News Reader
-Switches
-Twitter
-YouTube
Home Screens that Change With You
Your information needs may change throughout your day, so Chameleon includes an innovative context system. You can create context rules based on GPS locations, WiFi networks and time ranges, allowing you to define which Home Screen is the most relevant for any situation.
App Tray & Launcher
Chameleon doesn't just let you customize your Home Screens with the widgets you want. It also lets you customize your own mini App Tray. Giving you the apps you want up front, without having to swim through a large grid of apps.
Super Easy To Customize
Quickly set up Home Screens, Widgets, App Trays, and Wallpapers all with a few gestures.
EDIT: If you are using Paranoid Android rom you can purchase this launcher and using it on your phone. Any other roms it will not work. You can try AOKP rom which gives you the tablet mode feature but have not tried to see if it works

will do my friend. thank you.
Thanks for putting this useful thread together...
More launchers and lockscreens coming soon. Got few days off next week will be updating this thread guys with more launchers and lockscreens...with regarding lockscreens will give the links to the themes for GoLocker and the same with Widgetlocker.
Plus i still can not believe how many launchers are out there
New Lockscreen (with a twist) added to post 3. Video included to give you guys better explanation of what i am talking about.
Hope you guys like the twist in that lockscreen and hit the thanks as well if you want.
This has gone straight to my subscribed threads
Great thread and I hope it keeps getting updated as such. Good work
P.S. You should add Holo Launcher and Regina Launcher on here.
I was using Regina for quite a while before and it's a solid launcher but not as much customization as I'd like. And I'm currently using Holo but have only just started using it, so I haven't covered all aspects of it yet, but it does look and feel great

Not being funny mate can you remove your link. Cause I am doing for a bit of lockscreens and launchers. And if mods wanted to remove it they would of done. I just hate when people do this and advertise threads of others in a different thread.

Pleased to announce my new app - Widgets by You. Requesting all to try the app and give feedback.
App link on the play store
Make your own widgets. Start from a blank canvas or pick a template.
Edit widgets in a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor. The editor supports undo/ redo and copy/ paste letting you iterate over designs quickly.
Features
Widget objects – Date and Time elements with time zone support, text, shapes, images, weather icons etc
Layouts – organise and group objects in absolute, vertical, horizontal, flow layouts
Both color and gradients are supported on objects.
Text
Draw text in a block or on a path. Compose multiple text sources in a single text object. Transform text – uppercase, lowercase, reverse, prefix, suffix, subtext, vertical, replace etc. Support for custom fonts.
Analog clocks
Customize dial and clock hands.
Wallpaper Colors
Colors from current wallpaper can be used giving your widgets the modern look. Colors in a widget will change automatically as the wallpaper changes. Gradients from wallpaper colors can also be created.
Theme
Support for light and dark theme
Expressions
Instead of fixed values, use expressions as parameters. For e.g. make an object change its position or angle based on the time of the day.
Actions
Set actions that fire when a user clicks on the widgets. Location and dimensions of actions on widgets is fully editable.
Share
Share fully editable widgets with the world.
Wallpaper
Set colour and gradient wallpapers from app
App Permissions
Storage - Accessing current wallpaper
Crude Location - Show current location and fetching weather data
Network communication - Fetching weather data and showing ads
Calendar - Show calendar events
Your accounts - for Gmail unread mails count
Note
Widgets by You needs to run in the background to update home screen widgets. Android Oreo and above need a persistent notification for background processing.

I made my first small widget that was left aligned and when my phone switched to landscape mode , It was horizontally drawn in the center, center aligned. Vertically it seemed to adjust okay
Does this app support the phone switching from portrait to landscape?
Also thanks.. this is a very fun app
