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.
Time & Date - Clockr Evolution
Battery - Battstatt pro
Weather - Beautiful Widgets
Streaming Media - Subsonic

i dont know
smooth calendar
I've tried most of them. My favorites are:
Free - Android Agenda Widget
Paid - Pure Calendar Widget
Pure Calendar Widget I think is the best but it cost a couple dollars.

+1 smooth calendar
Smooth calendar is the best for me...

I have also tried them all. I prefer Simple Calendar Widget for the next appointment view and then Launcher Pro for the agenda view.

Pure Calendar Widget
I like business calendar cause it reminds me of the Sense calendar widget, which was my favorite of all the calendar widgets.
I am using Pure Calendar Widget, because it integrates with Got To Do, which is now defunct.
another +1 for smooth calendar here!
I was going through many different Widgets for various tasks. And then I tried launcher. It cut 10mb off my ram usage, also adds resisable Widgets (standard aswel), has a nice calander widget (I specifically bought it for this) and ads some sick customization. It is very stable too. Please note that this app completely replaces the stock launcher, and so will not even be cached on startup. There is a free version to try, but it is minus the Widgets you seek, but does have screen shots of them (in app). Sory if this seems off topic, but its just another consideration to take in with all the other very helpful suggestions.

Dunno about the HTC calendar but I'm using Android Agenda Widget which is very customizable, integrates with Astrid and GTasks (which in turn integrated with Google Tasks) and also displays your contacts birthdays.
It doesn't look very fancy but it works well!
Pure Calendar Widget vs Smooth Calendar
I just switched to Smooth Calendar from Pure Calendar. Pure Calendar is very functional and looks good unless you switch back and forth between landscape and portrait on your home screen. Regardless of the settings, in landscape Pure's widget gets horribly pinched and is not pleasant. I like Smooth because I really only want a good looking agenda widget; I prefer using the native calendar app for creation and editing.
On a side note, I really liked SPB Shell's calendar widget. Although the widget took an entire pane, it had both a good looking calendar and agenda. Ultimately, I uninstalled in favor of the better usability of ADW Launcher.
I like Android Agenda Widget.
1) Launcher Pro - built in
2) Colorize
3) Pure Calendar

Im think of moving to CM, I'm running Calkulin's Sense Rom no and i can't do with out a Good Calendar that will pull Google Calendar & Exchange. I also need a decent Clock widget as similar to the Sense on as i can get with an alarm clock. Also a decent people widget would be nice. these are the only things holding me back. You CM People here is your challenge to convert yet another.
Pure Calender widget. Pure grid calendar. Also free ones in the market. If you want to incorporate missed calls/mms / exchange email/ twitter/Facebook then use pure messenger. If you need to know more Widgets let me know.
Beautiful Widgets for clock, or gtabsimiclock. Fancy Widgets as well, clokr too and tajm. search for clock widget in the market.
Contacts widget for your contacts.

+1 on Beautiful Widgets. If you pick up the paid version of LauncherPro, you also get a nice calendar and people widget (among others) that are similar to sense.
I just wanted to then you both. I used grit calendar, launched pro for people. Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather for the sense like expierience withfull support of Hotmail, Gmail, and exchange syncing.

Launcher Pro + has a lot of Sense-esque widgets built in.
It's not actually a widget, but what about the calendar reminders. I find that the stock reminder stinks...so I use Calendar Snooze. http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze
HELLZ YEAH !!!
This is a great source..
Thanks for this thread
STICKY PLEASE !! hahaha..
To the OP, please update the original post with all of the suggestions that are posted so that if this list grows to several pages, someone won't have to read through it all to see if it's already been suggested.
Thanks again.
Colorize widget - great replacement for Facebook/Friendstream and agenda calendar. You also have a contacts and messaging widget as well.

yes it does.. but I don't people to be limited to just Launcher Pro. This is more if people want a HTC look with say GO launcher, ADW, Zeam, etc...

see comment above! I don't want users to be limited to LauncherPRO when GOlauncher EX or ADW EX are worthy launchers..
would the colorize widget be scrollable on touchwiz or only for the previously mentioned launchers? ( I ask since touchwiz has other scrollable widgets.)
edit2: so i just tried to sign in with colorize and I got a suspicious activity alert, although i did get to play a fun guessing game at my friends photos to verify who i am.
edit: Also I just saw on appbrain the dev of visiual bookmarks also has visual contacts
Also if we are going for the look of sense the we need Fancy Widget v1.3 (picture) I can link it if it is not against the rules.
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.
I moved on to the JB ROM from the stock GB with Sense ROM and missing the Sense widgets for sure. Especially the 4x4 calendar widget and the 4x4 contacts widgets.
I tried various widgets from the Market (Jorte, Android Pro widgets etc) but none come close to the refinement we had in the Sense widgets.
Any suggestions on some good replacement options? I am looking for only 4x4 sized widgets that can be placed on the home screens (not the 4x1 smooth calendar type ones)
Ho.. i faced the sa me issue band about calendar at the end of day i chose Business Calendar Free.. it has a good level of customization band finally i found a solution.

GO Calendar Widget is pretty similar and could be a good replacement
Pure grid calendar is excellent. For contacts, I just add individual shortcuts on one of my home screens.
