Hi Guys,
I flashed this Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209508) onto my HD2 yesterday, really love the Rom but widgets from the market won't launch and are unresponsive, apps wrok fine it's just the widgets like facebook and clocks/weather etc.
I have another HD2 with this Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141448) and widgets work perfectly both are MIUI based. I really love the MXZ Rom and would appreciate any help in getting the widgets to work as without them it's pretty much useless to me.
Regards

Just thought I'd start a thread on what the best android widgets are (paid and free). I installed the various Tattoo builds and love the HTC interface, but as of now, they are just too processor/memory intensive and they lag up the phone too much. I've now installed Myn's Warm Donut because it runs fast and so far, hasn't caused any hang ups.
So far, I've installed Home++ and it works well as a home replacement. I'm looking for a weather widget to replace the HTC weather widget, and so far have only found WeatherBug as a widget. Works well, but isn't flashy.
What are everyone's favorite Android Widgets???
I would say my number one widget when im not using hero or tattoo is "beautiful widgets". I love the animated weather and hero like weather clock. not the latest version because htc asked them nicely to change the interface because its to much like the real thing, so i use like 2.36. i think 2.5 and up are changed interface and its not near as good. it is a paid app. i also just tried home++ and didnt quite find it as appealing as open home. home++ changes android interface too much for me. no home replacement apps work with live wallpapers as of yet.
You want Weather Widget 2 Ver. 3.2...its the best I think you can find and works well with Myn's build.
PM me if you cant find it.
So farm here's what I'm running on Myn's Donut build without any problems at all:
Accuweather
Amazon
AP Mobile
Facebook (widget)
Home++ (home replacement)
NewsRob
The Weather Channel (widget)
Ultimate Stopwatch
Google Voice
Weatherbug (widget)
Smooth Calendar (widget)

Thanks wdbanks - I found a version but it doesn't fit 240 x 320. Is that app only for 320 x 480 screens?
I use weather widgets 3.2 on 240x320
I just got a nexus one exactly one week ago and Im lovin it. I made the switch from win mo. I had the Touch HD and Xperia X1. Now I dont want to root the nexus because it voids warranty and there seems to be many problems users are having with it. I dont want to have no warranty if anything happens to mine.
So I would like to know, what apps should I get and what widgets. There is a very limited number of widgets on the nexus and I want to fill up the home screen. I downloaded engadget and they have a widget, I downloaded a couple of games, xda app, and the htc sense keyboard. So I hope you other nexus users can help me since Im an andoid newbie.

What are you looking for in a widget?
I'm currently using..
Beautiful Widgets (paid)
AudioManager
DaysUntil
National Rail
Network Widget
PhotoFrame
Pure Calendar (paid)
Pure Music (paid)
nice, just downloaded. audio manager. Im looking for sense like widgets. If there was an htc desire compatable with att 3g. I wouldve got it
Hmm ok I can tell you about a couple of apps that I use often at least:
Handcent SMS - Much better than the built in messaging app imo
Dolphin Browser - I prefer it to the stock browser
3G Watchdog - Keeps track of how much you transfer over 3G, very useful
Agenda Widget - A good widget for showing upcoming appointments
RealCalc - A calculator with a "few" more options than the stock oen
Nimbuzz - Will cater to most of your IM needs
Spotify - Good for streaming music and storing it offline if it's available in your country
Doggcatcher - Great program for podcasts
Barcode Scanner -Good to have to scan in those barcode links that are used a couple of places
Battery Indicator - Gives you a number to look at in the notification bar instead of the pretty useless built in battery icon
Connectbot - SSH client
Smart Keyboard - A great keyboard with different skins and dictionaries for many languages
Documents to Go - Great office suite
Xe Currency - Keeps you up to date with conversion rates
Weather widgets - A good clock/weather widget
Games:
Don't know about that many games and I can't get the full versions of most of them since I don't have paid apps where I come from and I'm not rooted, but I can suggest a few.
Snesoid - Essential imo, play all those great SNES games on your phone and you won't need much else on the gaming side
Abduction - Jumping cows, what else do you need from a time waster?
SFCave - classic game from the early Palm devices if I'm not mistaken
Toss It - Good time waster
3d Pong - Classic flash game
Anways my tip for you is just to look around the market and test out apps, many are free and most have at least a lite version and that is the best way to find out if you like/need an app.

I'd definitely give Beautiful Widgets a go then
fwiw, handcent sms is a great app. it totally replaced mine.
the htc keyboard is great, i have it on my rooted desire rom.
Beautiful Widgets is what your looking for if you want sense style widgets. I believe they nearly got sued for their weather clock.
I love the textsfromlastnight widget, lol, but dunno if you like that site.
i keep the facebook stock widget open.
weather/news widget is actually ok, but i use the desire weather widget.
Hello all, I know you'd tell me to use the Search Tool and I did but I don't have the time to try each and every ROM this forum has to offer.
At the moment I am using "MoDaCo Custom Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend"
I have all the stock FroYo apps +
Alchemy
App2SD
AppBrain
Barcode Scnaner
Dolphin Browser HD
Dropbox
Easy Filter
Facebook
Gmail v2
Handscent
JuiceDefender with Ultimate Juice
Maps v5
Market
MyBackupPro
ROM Manager
Swype (doesn't work for some reason)
Titanium Backup
Uninstaller
Zeam v2 (Launcher)

(1) Anyway, I'd like a ROM which is FroYo (is Gingerbread faster?) which is faster and is possibly lighter on battery/resources. Boots real quick and is snappy fast. HTC Sense is not necessary as I use the Zeam Launcher (really good launcher, indeed.) I use only one home screen and no widgets.
(2) I don't even use the stock applications like App Sharing, Desk Clock, FM Radio, Footprints, Friend Stream, Latitude, "Learn More", Navigation, News and Weather, Peep, Places, Quickoffice, Stocks, Flickr, Adobe Reader, Teeter, Wi-Fi Hotspot.
(I know I can use Titanium Backup to remove these apps but I'd still like a ROM which would come without at least most of these apps)
(3) I don't use 3G or EDGE; just GPRS and WiFi
Secondly, any app suggestions?
EDIT: "[ROM] B 0.6 based on stock HTC FroYo (01/14/2011)" looks really cool but the apparent WiFi problems are holding me back. Can anyone confirm that it doesn't exist or if there is a work around?
bump?
/10chars
Stick to CM6 stable that's as snappy as you get on Legend
I had flashed CM some while back, there was a Market issue. Does that still exist?
As per your request, I am here
BlaY0's ROM is good, the wifi issue isn't present for me. CM6.1 has no market issues, just remember to flash it (gapps). I am using CM7 #13 at the moment, it's real smooth. Faster, JIT works propery. The battery life for me is about 15 hrs (YMMV). I can get 2 days over the weekend (ironically I use my phone less over the weekend).
Hope this helps,
GrammarMan out
Thank you, both of you! "Thank'd"
Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english I hope you will understand this. :silly:
After some time all my widgets are not updating themselves. I googled this problem but didn't find a solution... I didn't use a task manager/task killer. The widgets are working again when I force close the stock launcher, but after some time.... the same issue. I have the same problem with the Apex launcher.
Widgets are for example: HD Widgets, GMail, Wizz Widget, GSam battery monitor, youtube, play music etc.
Can anyone help me?
I'm on stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Hello All,
I just want to know if there is a solution to use few apps from sense to Samsung GN3.
For example , I want to have the messaging app , the Music apps and Phone app.
Is there a solution?
I Still have my HTC one
short answer no.
there are some launchers and apps that can simulate htc sense but nothing close to me. i love htc sense and wish it was possible but its not!
