I think calendar widget for GO launcher is the best, but now I'm using the NOVA launcher. It can't load widgets from GO. I tried a bunch of calendars that are similar to the GO launcher's, but they are not as good as previous one.
Features of calendar I'm looking for:
- sync with google;
- month view;
- highlight current day;
- display events on the day grid;
- tap to edit selected event;
- ICS/JB theme;
- option to select first working day.
So simple but so hard to find. Hope you can help me
R: Looking for great calendar widget
Maybe it's not exactly what you are looking for but try out "Simple Calendar Widget", you can find it here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar
It's the most customizable widget I've ever found!

Hi I'm looking for a widget for my favorite contacts on home screen like Sense Rom's do.
I want to use this on a HD2 with CM7 Rom.
You could try "life.contacts", published by Sonyericsson. Alternatively DW contacts, aContact, etc do the same thing but don't have a proper widget.

"Photo contact widget" free in the market.

GO Launcher EX has a wiget called "Contacts GOwiget", apply Transparency theme with black color, awesome!
Moved to proper section
Is there anyway that I can get the stock email widget to look just like the gmail widget?
Sorry I can't help. But I have wondered the same thing.

Download a Gmail icon (search on XDA for many icons) and then go to Google Play and download Desktop Visualizer and you should be able to sort it :good:
You can also change icons if you use Apex Launcher.

Alright, let's see what everyone is sporting for their home screens!
Here is mine:
I like a clean look. I don't like having contacts scattered all over the screen hence the invisible folder under the contacts widget. I find organizing everything into folders where each screen is its own sort of "hub" keeps away from the traditional scattered grid-icon approach and allows one to better enjoy the wallpaper.
For the Lock Screen I am using:
Widget Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy53aWRnZXRsb2NrZXIiXQ..
The clock widget is from Ultimate Custom Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImluLnZpbmVldHNpcm9oaS5jdXN0b213aWRnZXQiXQ..
Using the Dark MotoBlur UCCW skin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkmotoblur.uccwskin.dsaif&feature=search_result
Notifications are from Missed It! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igecelabs.android.MissedIt&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5pZ2VjZWxhYnMuYW5kcm9pZC5NaXNzZWRJdCJd
The red unlock slider is the "RedLineMod" available through the Widget Locker app.
The "LED On/Off" button is a custom made Minimalistic Text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmRldm1pbC5taW5pbWFsdGV4dCJd widget, and activates the LED through TeslaLED
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy5mbGFzaGxpZ2h0Il0.
Everything else on the lock screen is a widget made through Minimalistic Text.
Home Screen:
I am using NovaLauncher in place of the stock launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy5sYXVuY2hlciJd
The main home screen with the clock, CPU usage, battery etc... is all made through Minimalistic Text. The phone / messaging etc.. icon is from the Minimal Text Theme icon pack https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=minimaltext.kyledesignedme.adwtheme&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1pbmltYWx0ZXh0Lmt5bGVkZXNpZ25lZG1lLmFkd3RoZW1lIl0.
For the other screens I am stacking the Games, Contacts, Apps, and Media widgets made in Minimalistic Text on top of a black bar from Minimalistic Text (allow overlapping widgets in NovaLauncher settings)
The folder icons are replaced with custom made icons from Simple Text-Text Icon Creator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.simpletext&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZWRwaHguc2ltcGxldGV4dCJd
Lastly, the invisible folder under the contacts widget is just a blank Simple Text icon.
The wallpaper I got from Zedge and modified, you can get it here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8864209/2012-12-02%2023.01.27.jpg

Obviously, I like a lot of customization. Here's what I'm using, in order from left to right, top to bottom:
Launcher: beanstown106's 5x4 custom stock launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026233
SystemPanel end all tasks widget
AudioManager small widget (minimal transparent white skin)
Temp+CPU V2 widget
Extended Controls widget
Beautiful Widgets smaller home widget (curved-blue-contrast clock skin + SkullGray weather skin)
- I chose that skin because of the font it uses, transparency is at full so none of the blue shows up.
Pure Calendar widget (transparent skin, all text colors set to white)
Launch-X Pro (Minimalist white icon pack, manual icon selections for apps with no matching icon)
Desktop Visualizer (Used to create the shortcuts with custom icons and text for the phone/gmail/sms/browser buttons in the stock launcher, also using the Minimalist white skin)
Not visible but I'm also using Home2 Shortcut to restore double pressing home to open an app (I use it to open gmail)

Thx. I usually take those comments with a grain of salt anyways. People tend to install "cool new apps" and then tend to play with them a lot and wonder why their battery life isn't the same

Let me guess, you're a fan of the Ravens..
I am a fan of Touchwiz but am open to trying other launchers. The problem seems to be the badge system doesn't work fully on any of the ones I have looked at.
Do you know of a launcher which can show numeric bubbles for unread items on SMS, email, facebook etc?
Lots do SMS and Gmail but I need the email as well, I don't even use Gmail.
Suggest away
NovaLauncher + NovaPrime + TeslaUnread does gmail, htc email, samsung email and k-9 mail.

I appreciate why people do this, but it is not for me.
If I can extract another hour of battery life I would do it, but just to make it look prettier, not for now.
If I can remove all the TW framework I might have another go
The only thing holding me back from using Nova Launcher is losing the samsung calendar widget for a full month. Why is it so hard to find a decent month-long widget??
If anyone has some alternatives, I would greatly appreciate it
I use business calender. It doesn't show a month, but it's scrollable.

Acalendar has daily, weekly and monthly widgets.
DigiCal
I had the same trouble, literally downloaded 5-10 different calender apps. I settled on DigiCal which is a paid app but I really like the widget. I found the app to be sup-par so I use the Samsung calender app to add events.

so far i've found simple calendar widget, by j4velin as one of the best Simple Calendar Widget for tablets and phones (such as my Note 10.1 2014 & note 2).
it uses little to no resources, has easy to configure options (multi-calendar, font size, layout, transparencies, refresh, etc.), and only adds one fully re-sizable icon to your list of available widgets.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.calendarWidget&hl=en
Try business calendar app. It has great customizable widgets.

Calengoo is what you want
The granularity of reminders, alarms, etc beats all the rest.
It has pages and pages of widgets.

My two cents - APW is definitely great looking, but CalenGoo's customizability is above and beyond anything else I've tried.
