Hey guys,
I've never owned a nexus phone and am struggling to find some decent widgets to fill my screens
Usually my phones come with a whole bunch of them, especially HTC with sense - I love their full screen size widgets.
Would love to see what you guys use.
Please share.
Thanks

I always go with Minimalist style with no eidgets other than a clock.
I use MinimalistText, UCCW, missedit!.

If you're coming from sense and want a clock/weather widget that similar to the sense one, use beautiful widgets
Uccw with moto blur clock, just cause I'm hooked on that style right now. Otherwise beautiful widgets, agenda widget, photo frame widget, stock bookmark widget, that's what i use on my phones.

This is such a waste of the N4's powerful ability to fill every screen full of widgets without any lag. You could've saved $300 and bought an entry-level.
Or you can have a super phone where its power is dedicated to function and steers away from fluff

Pure News Widget is good for RSS feeds and links with Google reader.

Are we only limited to certain google app widgets on the android 4.2 lockscreen? Wish we could add any widget on lock screen

I've always used Pure Grid Calendar for a few years, I like the 2009 theme

I'm getting tired of LPP but I love that widget. Anyone knows of a good replacement?

Pure messenger widget works great, only thing you can not update your status both at the same time, last time I used it

This app is free and pretty new. It has a widget for Twitter/Facebook

What's the best Twitter app in your opinion and why?

I prefer Boid because it uses a nice looking holo theme and has the smoothest scrolling of any Twitter app I have tried. A close second would be Plume.
Falcon pro, trust me, best twitter app EVER. Awesome Holo interface, fluid and every feature you can think of is there. And its free.

I have been bouncing between tweetcaster pro and plume and like them both.

Falcon pro is really nice in don't have much opinion because I use. Twiter more like a news feed and not a social platform
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I agree with Falcon pro, and easily my favorite, and just seems the most fluid, clean, and just beautiful.

Plume is a personal favorite. Multiple column in landscape is perfect for tablets. Always a solid experience for me, but I'm not really a "power" user. From what I've seen, a frequently updated app. Awesome on the phone as well. :thumbup:

Flipboard. Simple and clean design. One app for all news and updates.

I like Tweetcaster Pro myself but you have to pay for it. Try the free version and see if you like it...

I use dolphin bookmarks
Should switch to flipboard really.

Just installed Flipboard on my N7. Very nice way to view my twitter feed. Thanks for the tip!
twitter official app is the best
+1 for Falcon Pro, it's the only client that doesn't feel cheap to me... (Scrolling, and the UI in general)

falcon pro widget or android pro widgets twitter widget that's what I use

I'm running widget locker for the lock screen and the asus weather widget. The weather widget will let you select a location.

I Agree, if you are running Android 4.2 lockscreen, HD Widgets has some real nice ones.
Thanks. Turns out I already bought HD widgets somewhere along the line so that's good

Widget Locker on the PlayStore or a custom ROM.

I think he is referring to touchwiz lock screen shortcuts which isn't available on the nexus 4.

I heard that the Google now launcher was available with the last Google search update but I haven't got it, am I the only one?

You need the current version of search and the now renamed Google Now Launcher

You will have to download the launcher yourself. Here's the link- http://www.mediafire.com/?3ina0fd8fwki5fo

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

Thanks, been trying that and it doesn't work, nothing happens...

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
