Played with it for a while. Looks like it doesn't work too well on Desire. Couldn't really figure out what I would use it for anyway haha.

Battery Monitor Widget and Process Monitor Widget
If you want to fine-tune your phone and get rid of bad behaving apps, those 2 are a must!
Process Monitor Widget is still in an early stage it seems, but can actually replace any ATK widgets and task managers altogether, can't wait for the recording feature that is still in dev!
battery monitor widget is actually the least-battery-draining battery-widget app I found on the market, after testing so many... this one brings you all the data you need as well!

Looking for a nice home screen calendar widget

As the title says really.
I have downloaded loads off the market place but all fall short.
I need a 4x1 widget that will display from my Exchange calendar and show my next couple of appointments.
The built in one seems to have a mind of it's own and gets confused when I have all day appointments/
I have found Smooth Calendar which is as close as I have found so far but it is clunky and slow.
Any suggestions?

i need one too i really miss the mini calendar view of sense ui!

Pure calendar is the best I found.

Have you tried Jorte?

ik like calwidget

i use jorte with no problems. tried it?

Jorte = No 4 x 1 option - Shame as it looks quite nice
Cal Widget = For some reason when in 4x1 mode it chops the last line of text short but besides that, looks OK (not sure if it any better than Smooth Calendar though)
Pure Calendar - Not tried that as it's a paid for app and so far I have resited the urge to pay for stuff on this phone.

there is always warez

Actually I realized there was a transparency option in Cal Widget so now it still chops off the bottom line but doesn't look as bad.
I am going to leave this on my home screen for a few days and see how it plays out.

Try Calendar pad Pro....

Try "android agenda widget"

I warmly recommand "Pure calendar" for the quality of the application and the skills of the dev. He is also working on an API to make scrollable widget, wich is essential for a calendar application.
If you don't want to spend 0.99Euros ( close to 1 dollar) for such a perfect application, you may try "Android agenda widget" that is free and the developer is really responsive and come with a lot of good stuff. I also suggest to donate because that worth.

Try to use gemini calendar. This is realy good calendar replacement and have simple widget.

I had the same criteria and after days of search I discovered the smooth calendar widget
It's 1 by 4, highly customizable (eg what calendars to display etc) and not cluttered with redundant skinning.
I already place two of the widgets for each my calendars...just because it's wicked.

+1 for Pure Calendar
I know you said you'd prefer a free app but this has many customisable features, with widget sizes to accommodate most screen layouts. It also has support for displaying Tasks (Astrid or GTasks).
Personally, this would be in my top 3 essentials apps.

I use Jorte, and it has both 4x1 and 1x4. The 4x1 is called 4x1 Horizontal.

Very nice recommendation, Smooth Calendar Widget totally suit my needs and it feels lightweight.

So is pure calander better then smooth calander? I need a widget that is bigger and shows more events

It's a real pitty that Jorte does not work with Exchange.
Does anyone know of anything similar for exchange? Ideally I am looking for two separate widgets, 1 for an agenda list and another for a month grid view that unlike the HTC Sense Widget actually shows you details of the appointments on the days (like Jorte).
Any suggestions.

love launcher pro plus widget

AOSP - What widgets do you use?

Aside from LP+
So I came accustomed to certain widgets from "Sense UI". What is a good widget to replace the contacts widget? I have been using a few different ones, but maybe there is one that I am not seeing...
Also what do you use for:
Calendar
Bookmarks
Friendstream
Any other cool widgets you wanna add...

I like photo contact widget. It looks good and works well. As for the others mentioned I bought LP plus and the widgets that come with it have replaced friend stream, bookmarks and calendar for me. I also use beautiful Widgets for clock, & weather. I also recommended purchasing LP icons and docks
If you are looking for widget outside of LP+ for friendstream and calendar then I recommend pure messenger and pure Cal both are very good.
I've never looked for an alternative For bookmarks so I don't know what out there for it.

I use GO Weather for the weather clock, and the Android built in for Calendar

"colorize widget" - seperate widgets for facebook, twitter, and people.
Better than sense for me.

Calender - LP Widget
Friendstream - Official Facebook & Twitter clients, I don't think any other widget/app is better than the official ones IMO.

good calendar widget

I am looking for a good simple calendar widget for my A500. I use launcher pro plus on my phone and I love the calendar widget on lpp but I don't want to use it on my tablet. Does anyone know of a simple but large calendar? The widget I need has to be at least 5x5 (ideally 7x7 or 8x8) and able to sync with my Google calendar. I don't mind paying a buck or two for it. I tried a few already but most of them look bad when resized to fit my screen. Can anyone help? Thanks

i use wizz and it's a ver good calendar widget.there is a widget for greader, Facebook, twitter....etc etc.

I reccomend Business Calendar app. Clean and functional.

I tried Business Calendar app, and i LOVE it, however, when the widget is resized, it becomes blurry. using the actual app though, it looks amazing. but i cant use the blurry widget, it really bothers me.
currently, i am using this widget, but it is only 4x4 on my homescreen. i was hoping i could find one kind of like it that looks good when resized to 8x8

Take a look at Jorte Calendar, I am using it on my A500, it is a claendar app with widgets and it syncs with Google Calendar or the Jorte calendar. Will show either or, I used it with Google as I want to be the same on the laptop, phone, & tab.
I have a full month on the screen and I think it is 5x5 and there are other sizes too.
On my phone I have always used and liked Business Calendar but on the tab it just didn't make good use of the real estate available.

[Zooper Widget] SaiZeXistenZClock + Weather

Hi all!
I wanted to share my widget made on the basis of eXistenZClock by Niaboc79.
So here is the clock + weather. The week weather is not included, but I can add it if requested.
Normally, everything should be editable: you can change fonts, backgrounds, colors...
Hope you'll like it.

Week Weather
Nice. I would like to check out the week weather also if possible.
Good work.

If by the diary widget you are talking about the reminders of my calendar, then you'll find it on the playstore: Simple Calendar Widget. then with some patience, you can edit almost every aspect of this widget.

Unfortunately, I don't know what is going on with your problem. I've nerver faced this so far...
For the calendar, if you read the post above yours, I told it is "Simple calendar" you can find on the playstore and which is fully editable.
Enjoy ^^

Thanks sorry I missed that and I should have known. I have used simple before. The icon thing seems to have worked itself out.
