I'm looking for a favorite contact wiget like the one on the HTC eris the one that comes preloaded on the first screen to the right of the start home screen.
Is there such an app/widget available for the moto droid?
Also is there a battery app/widget like the HTC eris ?
I'm the new guy here and new to the moto droid just got it today so if I'm asking stupid ?'s please don't be too hard on me
Thanx ö
The closest widget I have found so far is people/contacts widget.

The demo works good was going to buy the full app but my credit card will not let me pay €0.89 . Stupid card will not let my buy anything unless it's listed as US dollars. Guess I'll just use the demo till it run's out of time, and keep trying to find something else to fit my needs...

Dunno about a non-paid people widget, but the Gauge Battery Widget is pretty nice.
Launcher pro plus has a widget similar to htc's now. Apparently the dev is planning on incorporating a few htc style widgets. The cost is 2.99 at the moment through paypal.

I found the HTC battery widget in the market, if it's not available in your stock market try using an alt market like "my market" as for a contacts widget, if your running adw or launcher pro I like Droid contacts coupled with sync my pics. It gives you a decent contact widget that syncs with your Facebook pics.

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?

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...

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).

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.
Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.
Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

GO Weather maybe?

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.
Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.
Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.

Hi guys,
First, I'm a developer who spends a lot of time with his nose into terminal windows and editors... so please forgive me if I'm used to the "boring" stuff. I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions what widgets should I use to fill few of the tablet screens. So far, the main apps I use on the tablet are the Terminal (go figure) to manage my Linux boxes and my 3 Google Apps accounts (drive, mail, etc.)
I looked on the internet at those "popular widgets" postings and they all show crappy stuff like Google Play, Beautiful Widgets, Facebook etc. With no disrespect, they are useless to me. I'm looking more into "geek" factor, like some nice tablet memory/kernel stats and other cool widgets I could make use of. I know is hard what I ask but I'm looking for input from tech people who use the tablet to manage mostly Linux related stuff, not just the Google Play library.
It sucks to have all those screens empty, thank you for your help.

You could actually design a fancy-nothing widget by yourself that could show random stuff, like stats, load, cool pictures, links to websites, etc, periodically. Resizable, and repicable. That would be nice.

I don't write Android apps. I did wrote from scratch the XDA search you use it every day and helped the guys to optimize their servers, so you can post your content easier. Thanks for the nice insults.
Yea wth?
Anyway. I suggest Android Pro Widgets. Its free but I recommend buying it for themeing ablilities. They are scrollable Widgets for Facebook, twitter, calendar, favorites, etc. I have a page dedicated to these alone. I like my main homescreen very minimalistic.
Outside of that I use some sort of weather widget. I don't listen to music often and my status bar has toggles. Not sure what else you would need.

Could try minimalistic text and create your own text widgets showing stats of the tablet.
Does anyone got any good music widgets?
Battery Monitor Widget Pro and System Tuner Pro have some decent geeky widgets. Not great though. I'd like to find some more too.

Don't worry about responses like that one. They are a dime a dozen and provide nothing to these forums/communities. Best to ignore nay sayers...
Some suggestions for widgets would definitely be a weather widget, gmail/email widget, play music widget. Just to name a few a lot of it is personal preference from what I see...

Has anyone tried elixr2? Has quite a few widgets like the OP asked for.

You beat me too it. Elixr2 is good. I used to use it on my gtablet while testing roms. It was really helpful
I'm sorry if you understood my comment as an insult. I was actually giving a nice idea. I have developed some apps for diferrent purposes, and I found your post interesting - some widgets to beautify your screens. I could simply not mention any idea, but you know, I like brainstorming.

I made a widget once for a friend that showed either his stats or his teams stats from World Community Grid, but it only seems to work on 2.1 and I'm not a Dev....no idea how to fix it. LOL

I strongly recommend Elixir Widgets 2. Highly customizable, lots of options (more than any other), sips battery and CPU.
Here is my main 'reporting' page.
Also I reduced to 3 home screens... psychological reduction in empty space.

I was quoting ace7196, not you. Thanks though.
I was having a clear out of apps the other day and when speaking to other people in my office that i seem to have very few apps in comparison.
I love a minimilistic look and i suppose that carrys over even to the app screens for me, so i currently have 3 app screens and any time I install something new, i try to delete something i dont use as much to keep it that way.
So, how many screens of apps do you have?
i use the "smart launcher" so only 1 screen really. I went from being a widget crazed android user with 7 screens, to finding the minimalist and simple look of smart launcher
All i need is there.
I have an app draw
were all just evolved organism's
5 pages here with at least one widget each
