Best Widgets?

I just got my G tab and have installed vegan. I am liking it a lot, but I cannot find widgets that look good on the homescreen. I am using launcher pro and want to know what you guys are using to make the homescreens look awesome.
THANKS!

MixZing has a nice 4x4 music widget. Also, another user here recommended Jorte as a replacement for the stock calendar--it works very well and I'm now using that. Finally, I also loaded up Android Photo Widget (Free); it displays and cycles through my photos--the free version limits you to 10 photos; paid version more. Nice widget.
Oh, I'm also using Typoclock which can be found here on XDA, along with a companion widget called TxWthr which is very basic; I link that widget to the WeatherBug app, which is awesome.

thanks for the reply. just got the typo clock.
anyone else have suggestions?

Where did you snag the photo widget? I have been looking for one that will allow me to select a specific gallery.

Another trick to make it look much nicer is to install ADW Launcher then go into the ADW settings and set it to the Max number of columns and rows.
This can also be accomplished with LauncherPro, so it is whichever launcher that you prefer.

I like the launcher pro plus friends widget that combines Facebook and twitter. The calendar widget in lp+ is cool too.

Audio Manager Pro has a good widget for quickly switching sound profiles that you create. Widgetsoid (free) can be used to roll your own toggle bar for pretty much anything on the device.

I am still working on my pages, but here is what seems to work best for me at this time. I also have the post-it notes widget, not yet on my screens. I try to keep my screens separated by media, utility, and gaming, once I load more games for the kids, they will get their own screen.

Yeah that Button Savior looks awesome! Stock TNT works okay with ADW launcher replacing the home screens. I'm just using that setup until Cyanogen is a little more stable for the tab.

How To Set Wallpapers Correctly? (Tried WallpaperWizardrii and PicSpeed)

Anyone know a way to set wallpapers correctly?
I've tried WallpaperWizardrii which used to work well for me before I hid my notification bar (Apex Launcher). Ever since I hide my notification bar, it seems like WallpaperWizardrii doesn't realize that I hide the notification bar so it doesn't cover that part of the screen with my wallpaper leaving a black bar at the top where the notification would be if it were not hidden.
I've also tried PicSpeed which does correctly cover the whole screen but the problem is that PicSpeed seems to have some problem with gradients in wallpapers. For example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This wallpaper's (and many others) gradient looks fine on WallpaperWizardrii (but doesn't cover notification bar) but looks like crap on PicSpeed.
Right now my temporary solution is to use this app called Zedge which is a wallpaper stash app kinda thing. However, there is no option to set a wallpaper using Zedge so what I have to do is download a bunch of wallpapers in the Zedge app and then connect my phone to my computer and go to the folder where Zedge keeps it's downloaded wallpapers and replacing those wallpapers with my own by renaming my own wallpapers with the names of the downloaded Zedge wallpapers. That obviously is a hassle and the wallpaper thumbnails and previews in the Zedge app are still those of the old wallpaper's so that makes it hard to keep track of which wallpaper is which.
Is it really this hard to set a wallpaper right?

Once you download wallpapers from Zedge (or anywhere else I imagine, including transferring files via USB) they should show up in the Gallary app. Go there and find what you want to use. Using the expand button there should be a "Set picture as" option that lets you use it as a Wallpaper or a Contact's picture.

Try "quickpic" from playstore. I had the same problem and quickpic worked for me.

Any widgets similar to this for my home screen?

I have used Beautiful Widgets for my home screen widget for quite some time but now the clock does give the correct time and its geolocation does not update. Looking at the app store there are multiple reports of similar problems and the dev does not seem to be updating the app now. Screenshot attached.
Are there any similar easy to use widgets to give a similar HTC sense clock appearance and weather? In particular I need added functionality such as being able to customise multiple areas to click and open certain apps. I've looked on the app store and the closest I found was the 3D flip clock but like some others I tried the widget does not fill the whole area and leaves a space on the sides and below on my Note 9 screen which looks awkward.
Cheers for any suggestions.

You can give HD Widgets a try. It is customizable and you can probably get close to what you need. It has time and weather (temp current weather and forecast)
It has clickable areas for the clock, weather forecast
You can also set up specific apps for each clickable location.

HD widgets on mine

I agree. I use HD Widgets for clock/weather & then stock Samsung calendar/appointment widget. Hope this leads you to finding something that works for you.

Beautiful Widgets
I use BW as well and this was happening to me until I went in to Settings>General >Weather data provider and switched it to AccuWeather instead of using Weather Underground. Weather Underground doesn't work for me at all, but AccuWeather works just fine. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies! I managed to get beautiful widgets working by going to "Optomise battery usage" in phone settings and switch this OFF for the widget, now all working again! If it stops then HD widget looks similar and slick!

Third Party Apps can't change LockScreen Wallpaper

Hi guys,
I am using tasker, auto Dark theme ( awesome by the way ), but there is a problem with Emui, all of those apps got a feature that consist in changing wallpaper automatically, but it only changes the home screen, not the lock screen, and of course I've selected the both to change.
Any ideas how to solve this problem ?
Thanks ?

Same, have to use the stock wallpaper changer

Yep
It's a 'mess'.
Same behaviour/pb with alternative launcher like nova.
I could change the walls in it, but they're soon replaced by the ones configured in stock launcher/theme app.
I'll try to play with some settings and system file access allow/deny.. With no win.
Good luck
Edit :
Don't know why.. But
Just allowed nova to local storage in system application autorisation.
Reboot
And now my screens settings (both home and locked) stays.
'Cherry on the launch', the sliding home background back too.
Hope it's help on your side.
Ps : of course the magazine lockscreen auto update is off

After reading your post I checked permissions on Nova Launcher, and the setting that allows it to change the lock screen background is "Write System Settings" from the info page for NL, no need for reboot
