Useful widgets suggesions - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As title . What widgets would you guys suggest me to download. Whats the easiest to use widgets? Please advise thanks.

Honestly no one can really advice you on this as its always down to the users personal preferences.
Just the same if you asked for some good themes or apps, people couldnt say much coz there choice in themes or apps would be different to yours.

I can't find a decent calendar widget = =

Pure calendar widget does it for me.

After search a lot and tried with several apps my favorite calendar widget is "Business Calendar"

the stock calendar.apk is good enough

I really like Agenda Widget, my agenda and all of my tasks in one place. Also it is highly customizable, sometime even too much...

Launcher Pro

Anyone having issues with LP? I ask beacause I may be. Issues such as home screens randomly switching, random FC's, and multiple widgets not being able to autoload. I realize that the widgets could be specific however having 3-5 a day not load leads me to the common denominator wich would be LP.
Atm I am only rooted with LP.
Peace

LauncherPro has not been updated in a long time. Also it does not play well with ics. Better use Nova launcher.
And one last thing, you asked this on the development section, which is only for a Android development.
I don't believe the author off launcher pro has updated it for compatibility with ics. Checkout apex launcher, you can use the launcher pro icons if you would like.

This post belongs in the general section, not the development section.
You'd be better off with the Apex launcher. Or Nova launcher.

Thanks for the headsup on the other two launchers...and the reason i posted here was because of the fact i considered the issue to be related to development of third party sw....if the development thread is reserved only for roms then my bad.
Thanks again for the responses.
Peace

Apparently I do....when I find somin I like...I use it. Now if you have somin you wrote that is better let me know and I'll give it a try. However if you're one of those POS's that would rather troll than provide productive information, go ask your mom for arcade money and leave these threads for those that want to properly educate peeps.
Once again...thanks to the previous posters...I have tried both Apex and Nova and have decided to use both depending on my mood. They both provide more fluid properties than LP and buy utilizing both i am afforded a cheap and easy way to change themes.
Peace
I used launcher pro a lot, and it's very sad the dev gave up on it, but I found that GO launcher is the closest best thing (looks quite similar too in default), and it has so many more great features. I highly recommend to try it, if you haven't yet.

Personally, I recommend Apex launcher; its literally like the ICS version of launcher pro.

After the ICS update for the SGS2 is when LP went south for me. After reading about all the other options out there I went with Apex and paid for it. The big down side to Apex was lack of a calendar widget. So I ended up going with GO Launcher.
Honestly I'd love to used the TW Calendar - if anyone know how to used that with a different launcher I'm all eyes.

Porting of the S-Planner widget for third-party launchers

Hey guys
I've been using the S-Planner widget for a while and found this to be pretty comfortable.
Since I'm on the Nova Launcher I simply can't access it now. Seems as if Samsung has built a limitation in there (?)
So my question to the developers in here is the following :
Is it possible anyhow to port this widget so we can install and use it on third-party launchers like Nova Launcher or the GO! Launcher EX?
PS: If this is the wrong section I'd like to ask a mod to move it anywhere desirable.
Thank y'all in advance

Wow, it's nice to know someone is doing a good job on customization. May I know the apps you used for the notification center, gallery, dialer, contacts, and settings? I really can't stand stock Samsung JB.

I think in newer version of android everything will be google Google Google means recently they copied idea of making hangout as a default messages app from fb chat that was using this idea very long ago and I never like that idea means as using Internet u think that u messages will be sent free but u get ****ed when there is a charge deduction from another sim that u only used for Internet that sucks man. And as u know that while u was using stock rom than most of ram was covered via Google apps like hangout chrome etc that I never used. As u using Android is not means that u use only too much heavy battery ram consuming apps if we removed many if unused google apps than our cell be more ram free smooth and battery life will be more than 2 days and all these are tested by me and I am using all these twikes in my cell presently.
And for google now what we need of this as we can use samsung voice that is pretty good than google now and as in normal life how much we use Google now or voice menas when u were outside that time these things not work in crowd.
