I built this little widget. It uses media utilities that is free on the playstore.. Go to settings in media utilities and
Application Integration --- Zooper
Experimental Features---Make coverart available.
Uses zooper widget pro. Load from sd card. Its set to use samsung's music app when you click on the album art. Of course it can be changed. Maybe this will help someone like myself who didn't know what the hell they were doing as a starting point. I like it a lot. I still don't know how to change from a play (the icon itself) button to a pause button like all the real widgets do (or if its possible). My widget instead has both a play and pause button. Recommend a black background or close to it.
I'm using Earth & Moon Live Wallpaper. This is on my Note Edge using an miui icon theme.
Also included is a matching clock I whipped together.
please unzip.
buttons
I don't get it, please explain :3
You mean, that "X>>" and "<<O" button works for next and previous respectively?
I'm new to Zooper widget, so please help. (also, notify me if I'm posting at a wrong place)
"o" is play.
"x" is pause
">> " is skip forward
" <<" is skip back.
It's not hard.
nice one
first time is too hard to remember the key

SO, I'm a simple iPhone user, aka these 5 home screens and moving backgrounds confuse and fluster the hell out of me. While I try and downloads hoards of apps to put the the phone I still can't quite figure out what the hell to do with 5 home screens, in reality I have only filled one page and even still its only really my phone and weather widget.
Are there any apps / widgets / clocks / keyboards ya'll would say are "required" for the nexus? I really don't know where to look some one should make a suggested app thread.
look forward to hearing your responses.

it all depends on you decorate it to your liking
for me on my main screen i have my
Mainscreen
-flipclock from beautiful widgets
-Most used apps: gallery, aim, maps, camera, gmail, browser and market
Second Screen Left
-Search bar on top
-picture frame of me and my girlfriend in the middle
-A folder for games and a folder for tools on each side of the frame
-and the power control on the button
and then on other screens i have my friendstream(facebook widget), favorite contacts, end all task widget, flashlight widget, music player widget, bookmarks widget, news widget
oh and im using the the desire rom btw but there are equivilant widgets on the market
You don't to have to have live wallpapers, and on the iphone don't you get how many screens you need to compensate for the amount of applications you have installed? So unless you had a minimal amount of applications, wouldn't you have more (or equivalent) than five screens? So how come now it is confusing you?
Ok, back to the matter at hand. Usually I just decorate my home screens with applications that i need, apps that are not used regularly stay in the app wheel thingy (its not really drawer anymore). Really your homescreens will be determined by your needs, and likes. Decorate with the most essential applications that you need, and expand on that by adding widgets and etc. I'm sure others could recommend apps for you, I've been an Android user since the G1 (which isn't long really), but apps just come to mind without hesitation.
On my main screen I have a nice clock and my most used programs. The screen to the right has toggles for various settings. To the right of that is speed dials. To the left of the main screen is weather and news plus a few more program shortcuts and to the left of that is my music player widget.
I only use 3 screens, centre is big clock and most used apps, to the right is a bunch of regularly used apps. to the left is some widgets and speed dials.
I keep the other 2 blank for some reason.

So I just noticed there is no calendar or music widget? What do you use or is there a way to get them?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant.
You get them the same way you get other stuff you don't have. You get them off the Internet/Android Market.
I use MusicMod for my music widget. I don't use calendars so perhaps someone else can help you there.
I don't use a music one because it's built in to the lockscreen if I'm listening to something. For calendar I use android agenda widget

Here is the stock 2.1 music player with widget. Just transfer the apk to your sd and install.
I use the widget on the lock screen. Why clutter up your home screen + waste resources when there's one already built in to the lock screen?
Another great option is "cubed" in the market. Best player IMO, but there's nothing wrong with the stock one.
Calendar widget, I don't know. Never really thought about it! I agree, it should have one built in.
For a good calender widget find "jorte" has tons of options.
Catchin' the VIBE on the XDApp
The daily briefing can be used as a calendar widget if you use google calendar.

How do you get the music widget on the lock screen?
Pure Music Widget and Pure Grid Calendar are both great! Pure Grid is like the HTC Sense calendar.

It should come stock on the vibrant open your music player and start playing a song then when you lock the screen it will be on the lock screen when you go to unlock it.
I also use the controller in the lock screen. Instead of a widget they put the quick controls in the notification put-down. You just have to open the music player initially.
I use the Calendar Clock widget. It's ok.
doubleTwist is a good player and has a widget.
when my phone is unlocked i drag down the notifications panel when music is playing and there are music controls. also in lock screen mode you can drag down a little window pane while locked with music controls (phone remains locked).
The player in the notification menu while the phone is locked is no good for people who like to lock their phone with a pattern. doubleTwist has a good widget, but only pause and skip forwards buttons, no skip back. And I have as yet been unable to make the widget background transparent...
Try the app called 3, search Filipe Abrantes in the market.... It has a pretty sweet widget and its a bad asz music app...
1} Click on Power Control Widget to show on home screen
(It'll will pop out without any icon)
2} Drag down notification bar and click on GPS icon, u'll see de Control Widget
with icon.
Hope it helps~
Cheers~

If anyone use rom that has AppWidgetPicker.apk (app that group widget when you add widget to homescreen), you will experience no icon when you add the power widget. Oceangreen's method is use to fix that bug.
Thats like saying long press on the screen to place widgets on the homescreen.
Very useful information - sticky this

Thanks, it works.
I have Simply Honey 3.1 ROM installed and its an issue that the powercontrol widget doesn't show any icons. I tried this and there it was! The powercontrol widget icons are back!
This is what i did.
1. Added the powercontrol widget to the desktop. (no icons are appeared, only the empty boxes)
2. I pulled down the notifications bar, and enabled GPS toggle. Voila! the powercontrol widget's icon all appeared.
3. I turned off GPS in the powercontrol widget. (all the powercontrol widget's icon, remained)
Yeah it worked! Some custom roms or badly upgraded roms tend to have invisible icons in power control widget. Please state that in the first post so that users wont get confused
Kool, worked like a charm

No it's describing a workaround for a bug.
What you've described is a feature.
A bug is the opposite of a feature. In other words you couldn't be more wrong.
As always, I got a new phone and raced to root and debloat. From there I started looking at cool things the phone will do and remembered the quick window feature. I dont have the case yet, so I just used a magnet to activate it. The quick window just shows up black with three dots below. Anyone have an idea of what I might have frozen or uninstalled that is required for the quick window to display actual information?

Well, I guess through trial and error, I figured it out.
Just incase anyone else was wondering:
Music 4.2.5 ( used display the widget, continues to work just says "can't display widget" on the quickwindow)
Music 4.1.11 (won't play music unless installed)
Clock Widget (digital/analog clocks)
Weather 4.1.8.1 and Weather Theme 4.1.8.1
My assumption, but not through testing is that you could remove any of these if desired, it would just say tat it can't display the widget for that page.
Sure would be nice to replace these, I personally use Google play music so don't really have a desire for another music app on the phone, but at least I can hide the icons.
So I'm trying to open a widget from a widget, here's what I'm working with. For the Harmony icons, I want to be able to tap them and have them open up another window that shows all the activities that are on that hub, with a different icon for the current activity. I can't seem to find a way to open another widget from tapping on one of them, is it possible? I've also played with trying to set up a Tasker Scene, but it doesn't seem like I can change icons in there. Thoughts?
