All,
I used to love the Date and Time widget showing a calendar, time and today's date, but it is not available on ICS.
Does anyone have the APK?
No news on that?
There was a discussion about the atrix hd widgets which do what you want, but I believe that thread was shut down due to Moto lawyers asking us not to share the download zip. There is an app on Google Play called one more clock that should do the job.

Are there any good widgets that displays facebook/twitter and other social networking updates like the stock feeds and update widget in TouchWiz? I am using ADW, which obviously doesn't have access to the Samsung widgets (stupid Samsung for putting them in a non-stock location). I really liked that widget, and would like something similar, instead of having to use separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter.
Scrollable widget is a plus!

I love pure messenger. Much better than the stock Samsung app in my opinion.
I too miss that TouchWiz Updates and Feeds app. I will give the Pure Messenger widget a try, seeing how I was looking for a good email widget as well.
Is the only problem with getting the Feeds and Updates widget to work the location? If so, where does Android keep the stock widgets in the filesystem? I am thinking it might be possible to move the F&U widget to where the stock widgets are located and use it from there. Anyone have any insight as to whether this would even be possible?

I don't think that's possible because those widgets are built into the tw ui. If that wasn't the case then we would've already had sense widgets running on adw and launcher pro.

Actually, I searched through astro file manager and I was able to find the apk for all of Samsung's Widgets. I do know you can copy the apk and edit it though, as I was able to to so. However, I don't know what or how to "fix" them to use outside of touchwiz.
Anyone willing to take a look at it?
I would be really interested to hear if anything comes about this, i too miss it and would like to know if it can happen.
Nobody is going to "take a look at it" because it is not possible.
Couldn't find a free version of pure messenger I always pay for the full version of apps I like, but never pay for apps that don't have a way to try before you buy. If there is a free version could someone through a link this way ? Thanks!

You always have a 24 hour period with the Android market. If you don't like it, uninstall/cancel and it won't charge your card. You only get to do this once per app though.

It comes up periodically on the -dev list that this is actually harmful to developers: if a user install it, and doesn't like it (or doesn't get to give it a proper test, or it has a bug on their device) and refund, thats it. They will never come back because it was broken and they don't get to try again.
If there is a trial/limited/ads version and that happens, they can try again when the bug is fixed (or when they have more time, or a better environment, etc.)
On the vibrant this likely happens a lot, since it has such performance issues to begin with - "I installed foo, and my phone started locking up, so I refunded. Now its been a week and it turns out it wasn't foo at all, but I can't try it again..."
Tmobile has a new app that does several social sites in one its pretty good, but not perfect for one it doesn't have an associated widget.

Yeah it really does need a widget.
You have 24 hours after purchasing an app on the android market to "return" it and get your money back.
You can buy Launcher Pro Plus. It has a scrollable Twitter widget that's the best you'll find in the market. Plus he's constantly updating and is adding Facebook support.

I'll add my vote for Pure Messenger. Dev is also one of the most reponsive out there, so if there is ever an issue, it won't be there long.
Widget does all gmail, email, sms, facebook, twitter, and scrolling messenger list widget is great in adw and lp, soon also livehome has scrollable widget support.
Livehome is fun enough to deal with the lack of scrollable widget support until it's done.

I've been using Pure Calendar for a while now. I love the naked look.
I just bought Pure Messenger to give it a shot. I really like the look of Sammy's widget but this would match up nice with my calendear.
Try an app called sotiallite it has twitter and facebook. It's a widget but not scrollible.

Could you help me, and anyone who want to ask to find applications we describe, beacause im kinda new to android
Ill start:
I would like to find a ICE (In Case of Emergency) app that places icon on lockscreen on unrooted wildfire 2.2, i've searched a lot of these ICE apps but no one i've checked states to put a lockscreen icon.
Also i've seen some HTC handsets have option to change sense's dock bars to e.g. steel colour. Is this possible on Wildfire unrooted froyo?
Thx in advance.
Use search and google

You can change the dock with LauncherPro and I think WidgetLocker lets you put apps on the lock screen.

Nope, and, I am pretty sure in stating that requesting paid apps for free is not allowed on this board. It is amounting to warez.
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 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.
I want a widget that is similar to beweather. I want a clock/weather combined widget, but I really want an analog clock. I found this: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/analog+clock+weather+widget, but the app no longer exitsts. It's almost exactly what I'm looking for. Anyone know of an app that would be like this or what I'm describing? Thanks
This one looks ok: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5ncGltcG9ydHMuc3VwZXJhbGFybWxpdGUiXQ..
but your best bet is probably going to be this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5wb3J0dWdhbGVtZ3JhbmRlLkxpdmVDbG9jayJd
If they don't have one you like, you can make your own

Correct. I have purchased Beautiful Widgets, Be Weather, and HD Widgets in the past, but none seem to have an analog clock. THere's specific apps that are just analog clocks that are great clocks, but they don't implement date/weather data as well. I'd rather not have a page of separate widgets if I can avoid it.
FWIW, you can beautiful widgets for free on getjar. That way you can try it out without buying for it from the market. If you haven't used getjar, it's not warez. Don't know how they offer free apps but it's legit, as far as I know.

Did you try 1010ti.me (second link in my post above)? The attached screenshot isn't pretty, but I made it from one of their stock clocks in about 10 minutes of playing (I've never used it before). There are nicer ones you can download you might like too...
I don't know how can I have a clock and a weather widget with this rom. I had to download a weather widget from good play, but it doesn't automatically change the time and weather when I move to a different place. I need a OEM widget built in this room. How can I find it.

There are a lot of widgets on the play store, some for free, some for $$$ but the ones I have tried always seem to adjust to the time zone when the time and date configuration are set up correctly, and you need to have location services enabled for weather to change to your current location, also some widgets have either a static setting for location or can be set to use location services.
Try fancy widgets! It's worked for me very well on these roms.

Fancy widgets is very close to beautiful widgets , but it's also free.
All in all. I think that is about the biggest thing I love about sense. Which also means if cm10 or 10.1 gets stable for the amaze,I'll just use fancy widgets and go aosp.

anyone know which music app allow us to choose the song for our ringtone. Google play music can't do that.
Just create a file in media/audio/ringtones
Then drop your songs in there. If you want to create ring tones then get an app called Ring DROID or you can use G-Tunes
