So far I am using ADWLauncher EX, Aldiko, Astro, Elixir, and Extended Controls. I mainly want my Nook for reading books so does anyone have a suggestion for anything better or that will combine some of those?
Also, is there a disc cleaner or defrag app or is it even needed?
Also looking for a simple calendar app which I have not been able to find the right one. All I want is a simple text showing the date and month like "16 January or January 16th". Nothing else, one line of text and no other graphics. If this was tied to a full blown calender that I could add stuff to is a plus but not really needed. I have tried simi clock, simple calendar widget, and elixir so far.
Well got rid of Elixir and Aldiko (found that Mantano is better for me). Anyone got any ideas for my calendar problem?
what kind of book formats are you using?
i usually end up using the kindle app for pdf...just put the pdf into your kindle folder and restart app
kingsoft office (which was free) for editing documents and reading
There are probably other options, but I've been using Fancy Widgets and it has an option to add the date to the clock widget. I personally have an all-in-one widget at the top of the screen with time, date, and weather.
I also use Android Agenda Widget on my phone, and it shows the current date with a summary of upcoming calendar events.

I use smooth calendar widget is very simplistic. For the date in text you could make it yourself using minimalistic text.

Thank you so much, minimalistic text was what I was looking for, now my nook is complete!!!!
Anyone know how to get only 1 "page" instead of the 5 I can scroll through now?
Just put in CM7 and using ADW launcher pro of that helps, was able to do this before I put in CM7 but forget how to do it.

Hi.
Does anybody know of a good calendar widget? I've tried some and most require you to use their calendar application. I personally prefer the calender app that comes stock with the vibrant and would like a widget that pulled info from there but looks more like the stock widget on vanilla android.

"Pure Calendar Widget" is one of the few paid apps that I have used the entire time since buying them when I had my G1 until now.
Extremely customizable and will allow you to use pretty much any calendar app.
Thanks guys, I'm downloading both right now.
I highly recommend Pure Calendar Widget as well.. excellent application and worth the $

So I bought pure calander widget, as well as messenger widget, very very nice. Granted theres a ton of options, too much to get into right now but so far so good. Nice way to spend the little bit of funds in my account. and the HTC sense skins are a nice touch.
*accidental doublepost, sorry.
The one that comes with launcher pro plus is pretty good. But if you don't use LP I guess its not too helpful.
using agenda widget
started using pure calendar widget today.
3 questions:
-i see someone mentioned you can make it htc sense like? i dont see how???
-when i rotate screen, the widget goes blank for about 2 minutes...not like a little lag and re-draw with takes seconds. it goes completely white for about 1 or 2 minutes, then it all comes back. any ideas?
edit, 1 more question:
-what is the difference between pure calendar widget and agenda widget? pros or cons of each?

You have the option to skin the app. At the bottom in the config screen theres the option to Continue and Skin. Thats where I found mine.
Also which launcher are you using? ADW has an option to enable and disable scrollable widgets, which might be the cause of your problem.
I recently discovered Jorte, which has a good amount of widgets and the calendar app itself is excellent and will fully replace the stock one (my preference) - but I'm pretty sure you can have it open the stock one. It can also sync with Google Tasks although it has to be done manually.
cool, thanks.
in LP, it enabled scrollable widgets and that has seem to fix the going blank problem.
but i think im going to try the agenda widget as pure calendar widget just slows my phone WAY down. It just slows everything down. maybe if i turn off scrollable in pure calendar and lp it will work better...
Just installed the Vegan Ginger RC1 and am having some trouble with the Google Calendar widget. Looks like it only displays 1 item for the current day no matter how big you stretch the widget. Anyone know a fix for this problem? Also seeing the same problem? Second, when you tap the widget and it shows the full calendar the text for items is not shown in most views - just a colored line. How can I see the title of items in the calendar in any grid-styl view?

Amazon market has business calendar free for today. Great app, with great widgets
Thanks for pointing that out! I noticed the app but didn't see a description of the widget so ignored it, even if free. I've now purchased it and will check it out, though it would be nice if the standard widget worked. This app doesn't support Honeycomb but maybe if we ever get it the standard app will work better and we won't need this app or it will be updated to support it.
Anybody else upset that it doesn't come with one ? Any suggestions for alternatives?
Really depends on what info you want to see but I use Simple Calendar myself.

I used Simple Calendar in the past. But now I use the Today widget that comes with the phone.
I'm a big fan of the Pure Calendar, it's a pay for app.
i really like the LauncherPro calendar widget...
I like the business calendar widget, can take up a full page on the home screen if you want it to

I went and installed the TouchWiz 4.5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and it works flawlessly. It has the Calendar widget as well as some really cool features not found in TW4. I highly recommend this for someone wanting a near stock TW experience with some really functional tweaks.

+1 for the business calendar widget, or there is also android agenda widget, which is pretty customizable, and will also scroll if the launcher you are using supports that....
If you just want a list of upcoming appointments, Agenda Widget is awesome. Very customizable, though it takes some work to get it just the way you want. In just a 4x1 space on my screen I can see my next 4 appointments, with little bullets next to them telling me which calendar they are from.

Eh? Am I missing some detail about this question? My device has 2 calendar widgets pre-installed: Agenda and Today. Agenda takes up most of a home screen and scrolls to display lots of calendar appts; Today just shows the current/next appt for the current day.
is there really no month view calendar widget for tw launcher that links up with google calendar?
i have tried go launcher ex and the calendar widget on that is perfect, but i want to run tw launcher instead.
i dont want to add agenda or today widget because i want a month view. any suggestions?

This is a list of bloatware removed from the Cognition ROM:
http://ponack.net/designgears/Cognition777/removed/
The TwCalendarAppWidget.apk listed there has a month view. I believe it's from the Euro SGS2 version of Touchwi but not sure. Anyway, replace the corresponding app on your phone with the one from the link. Worked for me on UnNamed 1.3.1.
Attachment so you can see what it looks like. Not bad.
thanks!
do you know which folder it goes in?
is is possible to theme?
/system/app
same one as your current TwCalendarAppWidget.apk should be in. It should be possible to theme using all the normal tools, apk manager etc.
EDIT: OK, now you got me curious. I was able to decompile, edit some XML and recompile without problems, so yes, I'd say it definitely is possible to theme it. FWIW, I changed the first day of the week to Sun (normally Mon.). I might do a full flashable mod with different themes and what not. But it will take me at least a week b/c I am busy with stuff. No promises!
EDIT 2: Oh, never mind, my changes were superficial. All I did was change the day of the week label, not the display of the widget. Still a good project. Not sure at this point if it is above my head...
EDIT 3: Ok, now this is just getting embarrassing. Using the apk I linked to, all you have to do it go into the Touchwiz Calendar app, go to preferences, and set your First day of the week preference. Widget should reflect this change, otherwise, delete and re-add widget and it should be there!
I SWORE I tried this before and it didn't work.

Pure Grid Calendar is absolutely gorgeous. I have a month view on my lock screen and a week view 4x4 on one of my homescreens.
It pulls from multiple google calendars and displays duration bars corresponding to your events.
Simply stunning. Hands-down one of my best app purchases.
Since I only recently jumped on TSF Launcher, I've found that I've already gotten used to the great looking 5x5 calendar widget that came with Touchwiz. Much to my chagrin, it's only available when using Touchwiz.
Most of the calendar widgets in the market are either list type widgets, or not sized correctly to be displayed on this giant screen.
Has anyone come across a calendar widget that they like for the Note?
Jorte Calendar has a 5x5 monthly calendar widget. It's popular although i think it's a bit on the ugly side in terms of looks...but with time I think a lot of customization is possible.
You're right about the ugliness - not even close to Samsung's widget.
Deslandes has one called PURE Grid. I use PURE Messenger a lot and the functionality is always fantastic and it looks great. The biggest issue is if you're using Exchange. It'll work fine with Google, but it can't read your Exchange calendar on a Samsung device yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar&hl=en
I personally love Jorte and don't find it ugly at all with some tweaks. A big requirement for me is that the widget has to be very functional. By making the widget completely transparent and using Google calendar colors, looks sweet to me!
Also, using the month+task view, I get all the information I need at once. The widget also adjusts to landscape view effectively.

It says it works with Touchdown, so shouldn't that be fine for Exchange?

Puregrid works great I have mine set at 5 by 5xxl-tablet. I mainly use just the week view but here's both. Puregrid is very customizable and a decent selection of skins, I'm rocking the ICS skin.

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a to-do checklist app (or as the title says, just a widget would be fine). Thing is, I don't need something as complicated as all those apps out there that sync your tasks with google, etc... I just need a nice widget, thats all (though I wouldn't mind having an app that will do those things).
I used to have GO launcher so I used their widget, but I'm currently using ICS (Samsung galaxy S) and using Apex launcher.
Basically I'm looking for a widget that will look nice and beautiful, just like the one developed by GO team. I've tried numerous apps, but their widget are not so great, they invest more in the app itself (understandable, of course...).
If that widget will be showing a line to show that a task has been completed, like in the GO widget, that would be great. Silly demand, I know, but still
Thank you for your help!
Anyone?
