Samsung Widgets on Launcher Pro?

Any way to get Facebook updates widget on Launcher Pro?
Is there a good news widget? For news from like, engadget and gizmodo, etc.

There has to be some way to do this... I'm trying to find an alternative to the Facebook status streaming widget but I can't find a good one... I'm currently using Socialite from the LG Ally but it's not too good... Friend Stream would be nice. Or the Samsung one.

I'd like to know the same.

This question had been asked many times...the search function works miracles if you ever decide to use it. But to answer your question, no you cannot out the samsung widgets with any other launcher other than the tw launcher. I also don't think there's no way around this.

This has been asked several times. No you can't use TW Widgets on LP. What's wrong with the widget that comes with the Facebook app? Or you can use Pure Messenger widget.

Why not?

I use T-Mobile's Social Buzz app. It doesn't have a widget but the app is fast and works great. That might be something you would want to look in to.

Post your home screens

Just trying to get some ideas on what you guys are doing...and what I can do.
Posting mine...just using beautiful widgets.

it looks like beautful widgets to me, the smaller home widget to be precise

I keep mine pretty simple. Just my kid, a clock, and dock. I didn't bother to show the other screens because it is just launcher pro widgets.

Something I did from scratch. Icons are from dreamflye (or how ever its spelled). I was inspired by his dock, I liked it but it didn't fit what I was going for. So I did my own. I've been toying with releasing it.

Yeah dude...you should release it. If noone else uses it...I sure will!

PM me your contact info and your color preference and I will send it to you. I can't really send the icons yet because they are not my work, but I will be doing some of my own in the future (text icons are easy). I can maybe do a small request of icons if you let me know.
I am working on getting the some variations done before I release it (Tab on left, right, or center). I kind of want to release a bunch of variations so people can pick what they like. And I probably need to do some icons (at least the basics).

droid 2, epic 2.5, modified stock theme

Hey faceless, you wanna' post your dock icons? I like the extended right tab a lot (and I'm also too lazy to make my own unless I really have to )

Best home screen widget

Okay, I'm looking for a good 2 row / 4 column homescreen widget. I'm so annoyed and can't find a good one. I have fancy widget and beautiful widget. Any other suggestions?

Simi clock

I like GO Weather for now, although I would prefer if it would launch the clock app when you touch the clock...hopefully they will add it in

I like fancy widget, you'd have to search for it, I don't think its available for download anywhere official. I iseit on my captivate and my aria. it looks and act (mostly) like the stock sense flip clock widget. And you can set it to open specific apps when you touch the weather, calendar or clock...
Edit... OK I'm dumb, I just read right over the part where you said you already have fancy widget...
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

I use fancy widget, but not the one available on the market. I don't like that one. I found an old version floating around on the launcher pro website. Its identical to the sense flip clock (which is why its not available via the market anymore I'm assuming).

[Q] What is this and where can I get it???

Wow.....

Why is my HD2 not this cool???

definitely interested in knowing!

...looks really amazing. Would like to try this new UI too. But didn't find any information over it, what launcher this could be.
Hope someone can enlighten us very soon

I'm guessing it's a combination of stuff, and not actually made into a rom.
For example, https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.MyLockScreen_free

This 3d efffect he uses in his video you can get if you use "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" as already posted in combination with e.g launcher pro.
in multipicture live wallpaper you have to use:
- transition type: 3D Rotation
in lauchner pro:
- preferences->homescreen settings->transition effect: Flip2
also ensure, that you have:
- preferences->Appearance settings->Disable wallpaper scrolling: unchecked
For users that want to use their device in landscape only this is a very nice combination..in portrait it looks very awful in my opinion

WOW

Haha that's 100% correct, you xda guys sure are on the ball!! ..except I used AWD EX launcher the task bar at the bottom/ swipe hiding was built into CM7, btw do you guys know how to get an "app organizer" that organizes in categories IN the actual app scrolling menu? That's the last bit of my 100% customization missing

I think the closest you'll get to actual app drawer organizing would be to sort the apps in groups on ADW launcher. It has the option to create and edit groups in the app drawer, and choose which one to view. I've never seen anything that allows you to put your apps into folders within the app drawer, which has never made sense to me since it would be so much more convenient. Thats the one thing that WM still has over Android imo.

wow, very nice that

What music player is that? It looks pretty cool.

With this drawer you can create folders.
....at least you can see that on the pictures. Unfortunately I'm not able to download it in my region.
It is a free app, could s.o. download it and share it here?

Just looks like a launcher plus some cool third party widgets and stuff. He says in the comments that its not a ROM, and that he'll post a tutorial soon. Until then, check out Regina 3D launcher... its in the android market. I'd post the link if I wasn't a noob...

When I originally asked what this was when I posted this thread, I didn't expect so many answers. Thanks you everyone for the responses. It looks like I will have some fun changing my HD2 on my next day off!

What weather app is that? This is really cool.

Best weather app

What will be the best weather forecast(4 or 7days, hourly preferred) app with notification.
I am from india.
Presently using weather and toggle widget.
From X10i+TEAM v3.1 using XDA premium

I use Fancy Widget. It is the best.

Do you really think that this must be in GENERAL section???!!

Palmary weather is great as well. Nice Widgets.

well can be fancy widget, weather bug, simtab weather (or something like that)
world weather widget

I use Beweather and it has a really nice slick UI. There's a free and paid version.

I agree. I love the 1x4 widget, runs nicely along the left side of my center home screen
