Is it possible to have upcoming events from the calendar on the lockscreen?
I'd like to keep teh TW lockscreen.
Maybe via modding? eg replacing the stocks ticker or the news ticker?
Does anyone know if this would be possible?
up , i need this option

I know you want to keep the TW lockscreen...but alternatively, I use Widget Locker lockscreen with Android Agenda Widget. (back since my HD2 days)
TRUST ME...I have owned widget locker for several years and watched it progress. It runs absolutely FLAWLESS on my S3. It has TONS of options/switches to make your every scenario happen without glitches. And there are so many choices for sliders etc.
Anyway, Agenda Widget has many options as well....actually so many it can be quite confusing. I have it listing my next 6 calendar events with TODAYS current events bold and brighter. So when I turn my screen on....that's 1 single button push....I can see my days events...if I have them. To me, this si fast and efficient.
I keep a Handcent widget on it for reading my recent text message...again...1 click....and several sliders including one that opens my camera for quick scenario photo taking. Widgets are overlap-able and resizable etc. (I am not affiliated...just proud)
Widget locker has only one bug which is very annoying.
If you get a Msg, and you've set the Pop Up to come, try unlocking the screen.
The pop up would display for a very short time before WL.
This doesn't happen with TW lockscreen.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to display my upcoming apointments on the lockscreen. I heard there was a app that could do this, but I forgot the name and I can't find the link anymore at the forum it was posted. I found some other apps but they don't seem to work with sense.
If somebody knows a way to do this, please tell me. Opening the calander is annoing and I want to see what I got coming up when I wake up the phone. The screen is just being empty anyway
why dont you place calendar widget on the main screen? the same thing, but you just have to unlock the phone..
Because there is not enough room. I got the clock/weather thing there and 8 shortcuts to the apps I use most (phone, contacts, internet etc) so there is no room left to place a widget. I now got the small calender widget on the next panel along with apps I user a bit less often. Its not ideal but I guess I have to manage as I learned creating a lockscreen app is pretty much impossible as there are no options for this in the SDK.
For me it works a lot better to have it on the lockscreen because that way I can see what appointments I got without having to do anything. I will see it everytime I turn on the phone which is a great way not to forget.
Is is worth to find a room for 4x1 widget and you can use e.g. "Agenda Widget". In 4x1 widget it's showing 4 next appointments and for me it is great.
That might work. What is the name? If I search agenda widget in the market I can only find things like calender widget.
Even if the topic is old, I think that others looking for it can find it useful. In my opinion, this the best calendar/appointment widget set. A lot of customizations and flexibility.

I am trying to get away from sense for obvious reasons. I'm only missing the friendstream, news, twitter scrollable widgets. Shopping revealed Pure Messenger/News widget as a viable option. Although to be useful to me it needs to be scrollable.
-Running CM7 nightlies #130
-ADW Launcher stock with CM7
-Verizon Droid Incredible 2
-Rooted, obviously.
Pure Messenger states that ADW is supported, but scrollable widgets must be enabled and it isn't currently. I find no setting for scrollable widget enable and the documentation for this version (latest) doesn't list it. However a previous version had a setting from what I find online. Maybe the non CM7 version?
Anyone have a solution for pure messenger or alternative app? I'm certain many people running CM7 desire these widgets so there must be a solution but a search didn't reveal anything within 6 months.
Note: I was having this same issue with other phones, and other launchers [read: go launcher, launcher pro], so this should apply to everyone. Including me when I buy the Galaxy Nexus upon release.

I love colorize widgets and android pro widgets (both very similar and have a nice timeline feature with the paid versions) adw does support scrolling widgets but I'm not sure if you need the ex version for that(that's the version I have) I also don't see a setting for it but both my colorize widgets and android pro widgets scroll automatically

I gave up on the Pure Widgets and went with Colorize. Scrolling works fine and I got the paid version and it looks really nice.
I thought the Pure Widgets were the most popular which would lead to less bugs and better support but obviously not.
Now the only problem is Colorize doesn't have a RSS feed selector or news widget like sense but I think I can get around it with customizing Google RSS feeds.
Thanks for the reply.

Ok, somebody should explain the need for scrollable widgets, or indeed most widgets, to me.
You swipe homescreens to get to the one you want, e.g Calender, Twitter.. and then you scroll it to find what you want etc...
Why not just open the Twitter or Calender app instead?
This sums up my pet peave with Android really. So much bloat. So much unnecessary carp. Why do one thing well when you can do it three different ways, badly.
I'm still not sold on the idea of multiple homescreens, in fact i'm as perplexed by the notion now as i was three years ago. Android has an app drawer. It has shortcuts for every app within. Open app drawer, select shortcut, use app! Why would i need shortcuts all over my homescreen?
And while i'm busy derailing the thread with my rant, what's with the honking great clocks and weather on the homescreens? There's a clock in the status bar and the weather is right outside. Use a window!
Obviously i'm in the minority here so i'll just crawl quietly back into my minimalistic hole. Good to get it off the chest though!
Okay from playing around with ROMs on my 4g (I haven't rooted my 3D yet), I have learned that I prefer AOSP rather than Sence. For now I just loaded ADW because I like the 5 icon dock. However there is one widget I REALLY like, the clock. I know there are a couple on the market that have the time and weather, but the thing I really liked about the HTC clock is that in addition to time and weather, it had alarms, timers and countdown timers. I know I can get an app for the alarms, timers and countdown, but I like the HTC and I like it being all in the one widget.
I guess what I am asking is, is there a way to get (through a similar app/widget or custom ROM) HTC clock working with a 5 icon dock bar?

No need to switch ROM's.
Sure download "fancy widgets" it has a clock widget just like the stock one then download "alarm clock extreme" and you will have all your features back. Although I think you can still use the htc clock app without the widget. I currently use no sense and ADW with fancy widgets and the stock clock.apk that came with the phone. Fancy widgets even let you assign an app to open when clicking on any of the sections of the widget. You can customize all kinds of visual stuff on it also. Hope this helps.
Hi all,
I'm not particularly sure I chose the right forum, but hey, maybe you can point me to the right place
I do have an Android 4.2.2 ROM on my phone, and I'd like to have a special widget on my lockscreen widget (it's an app displaying emergency info for paramedics, and as such intended to be shown on lockscreen). But so far I didn't manage to add it - either it takes the whole lockscreen and there's no romm for clock, wheather etc. or I can't display it on the primary lockscreen at all
My best shot so far seems to be DashClock, but among the numerous extensions I couldn't find one that displays any of the installed widgets which I could put on my homescreen.
Did I miss something? An extension? Or is there some generic way or a different lockscreen widget I could use?
Any hints appreciated
I have tried dozens I can't find a calendar widget. I want something big (100 panel at 320dpi) nice earth tones no transparency and events spelled out
Basically I want the stock touch wiz widget (about the only thing I like from touchwiz) alas that widget is not available outside touchwiz grr I run launcher prime.
Any suggestions? Basically I want this (attached) for a single month as a nearly full screen widget.
Simple calendar widget is close (second attachment) but it lists at bottom not "in" the calendar but that is how I want to use it. That is 4 4 stretched to I think 8 or something like that do needs to be scalable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe the touchwiz widget hacked ?
