[Q] Can't find native Facebook App Widget? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

I'm a brand new Galaxy Tab 10.1 user and just rooted installed the stock HC3.2 (w/ TouchWiz) from these forums.
I've installed the native Facebook App from the Market, but can't seem to find the native Facebook Widget.
Is Samsung doing something to hide/prevent the native FB widget because they want me to use their Social Hub thingie? Is there a way around this?

Reboot/Restart your tablet. HC3.2 sometimes doesn't shows widgets after installation of an apk. After a reboot you should see it.

I have the Gmail v2.3.5 installed & it is working just fine.
Not sure but I seem to remember that you need to be rooted to install the blacked out version.

What do you mean by "blacked out" version? Pls explain in detail.
It's a modded version. Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191870&highlight=blacked
The OP was in fact referring to this modded version.
I also have 2.3.5 original installed in my unrooted SGS2 and of course this one works like a charm.

Baah! I saw the screen shots in that thread, and if the only difference between a "blacked out" gmail 2.3.5 and a normal gmail 2.3.5 is the inverted color of the background, then what's the fuss about? If you want black backround and grey text, then you already have that in Social Hub. Just access your gmail from Social Hub if you like the background to be black. What's the big deal
The hub is bloatware. It's buggy and less functional than the original app. I much prefer the white background gmail app than hub's email app, even considering the highest power drained by the white theme.
In addition, the original email app has push protocol that i like much, and better label/directory management!

I don't consider the Social Hub to be bloatware.....neither have I experienced any bugs in it. It's a useful tool for seeing all your email, sns & message streams in one place. Although I personally prefer other dedicated professional apps for my social networks, I use the Social Hub for all my various email accounts. It bifurcates the mails according to dates, which the gmail app does not.
Yes, apps like Yahoo finance, Readers Hub, Games Hub are definitely bloatware. To each his own. Cheers!
What I don't like of the email client of the Social hub is that it is the one included by default in android, which is not push type and every email I send with it, is wrongly reported by the client as being sent twice: the first correctly, and the second to a long list of duplicated addressees... In addition every email received is notified both in the hub and in the default email client, but clearing one notification does not automatically clear also the other so every email notification has to be cleared twice.
However I do reckon that's just my personal experience with it, so perhaps others more good than me at configuring it may not find it so bad.

Newbie question on Memo

Gentlemen,
I am new to android/S2 phones. I have done some reading and got root as well as turkbey rom. I love the setup except that the Memo application has ugly background.
Can I change the background or get a new memo application, if yes could I still import memo from outlook.
regards
shyla
Use the evernote App from Android Market. Is supports online sync with desktop app and has web access as well.
thank you very much

Tasks Sync with Google

Ok, I've searched all through google and I want to figure this out. I really love the touchwiz calendar app and I desperately need to use some sort of tasks app that syncs with my google account. I know there are plenty of apps in the market that do this but I want to use the stock touchwiz one. But I can't figure out how to sync that with google. I looked at my wife's gs2 and that phone had a separate tasks app that did sync with a google account. So my question is twofold:
1. Is there anyway to sync my calendar-tasks app with google. (Right now it only syncs my calendar)?
2. Can I grab the tasks apk from the gs2 or does the international galaxy note have this and I can grab from there?
Thanks

Same here I'd like to know.
Although, I have been looking around. And also the GNote task works with Exchange.
The app that i have been using for this is google task organizer. Found this after trying out many.
Well updated and good dev support.
It syncs with the google tasks annd also appears as a GTO calendar in google calender.

Well I'm actually using any.do which I have been using on my xperia arc for quite some time now. However, I would like to be able to use the stock task app by Samsung because of it's beautiful UI and full screen widgets.

Anyone ever figure this out? I have an S3 and a Tab 2 7.0 and haven't figured out yet if stock touchwiz will sync the tasks portion up to google. I suspect it won't, otherwise I'd run a TW rom for the cool calendar app pin the S3 instead of AOSP CM10 based.

Using google calendar

I have just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S3 in the UK and loving the phone so far, coming from the HTC Desire so quite a big jump ins size and spec ways.
One small problem, I'm having so far is I have added the Google Calendar widget to one of the home screens but when I tap on the widget it doesn't launch the calendar app. When I had the desire, if I clicked on the top of the calendar it would launch the calendar on the current day and if I tapped on one of the appointments the calendar would open up on the day for that appointment, but neither of these are working.
I also can't find the calendar app within the app drawer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
The calender is now called S Planner in the app drawer.

Thanks this worked, I disabled the S-Planner as I thought this was Samsung's own bloatware app. This isn't the default google calendar app though which I prefer, is there a way to disable the S-Planner and use the genuine Google Calendar App. It seems a bit strange to me that samsung have replaced the google calendar with their own version. Not to keen on S-planner
Thanks
I have the same question, is it possible to replace s-planner with google calendar app?
