Does anyone have a decent stocks or finance widget that works on Touchwiz?
I just came from HTC Evo 3D and HTC Sense's stocks widget just blows the Touchwiz widget out of the water.... I was wondering if there is one on the market that is a good replacement...
Nobody?
Come on....what is the stocks widget that everybody is using?
Can't say I've stumbled on anything great. For widgets I like the Google FInance app. It shows the stock along with its price and gain/loss for the day. As an app, I personally like Wikinvest.
But still looking for a better option as well.
Thanks, the Google Finance widget is no where close to HTC's widget.... I can't believe there is no alternatives out there.

So i just upgraded from the original g1 to the samsung vibrant, and im missing the calendar widget from the g1. I couldn't find a widget that does the same as the g1 calendar widget. By this i mean it showed a rectangle that had my upcoming events from my gmail calendar on it. Could someone tell me of an app that does the same and/or does it better?
Thanks
Have you tried smooth calendar? That looks & works great!
i find that calendar pad is the best one, it sows the full month view and lists all upcoming birthdays and allows you a large variation of widget sizes
+1 for smooth calender

I know what you mean I miss the old calender widget too. But smooth is the best so far I have tried them all.
I was a blackberry user, and I found that Pure Calendar Widget looked the best to me. Reminds me of the old "Today" themes for Blackberry lol.
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 wanted to see if anyone knew of any full screen social networking widgets out there?
I cannot find any and liked friendstream on HTC. I got my GF an Infuze and hers has something called Social Updates I think that is pretty close but no dice on the S2

Hi I'm comming from an HTC Inspire 4g running HTC sense 3.5 didn't think I'd miss it as much as I do I really miss the widgets like the Message widget and the mail widget I can't seem to find anything like them on the market can anyone suggest somthing?
Wow
Anybody got anything?
As far as I know, the only Sense type widgets you get on the market are clocks. You cannot run the actual sense widgets without sense. Pretty much bad news if you're looking for the message and mail widgets, you have to get an HTC phone.
I would suggest looking for alternatives and forging a new love for something different or even better.
Yeah I see nothing like them on the android market except clocks and weather widgets I don't understand why someone hasn't copied the message widget or email widget I loved having them on my home screens quick and easy to get to

Theres Themes bro, and there is a sense one. Just saying
Beautiful Widgets, APW (already mentioned), the Go family of widgets (GoSMS for example), Widgetsoid. Just do a search in the Market. Most are free or free trial.
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.

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.
