Apology is this is the wrong forum.
I have been using Android Pro Widget. It has a set of widgets with unified look & feel. But it's not longer updated and don't work well on latest Android.
What would be a good agenda widget? Google Calendar has a basic one but there is no customization at all (e.g. dark them, small fonts).
What about SMS?
Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for something pretty much exactly like minimal reader pro but for a calendar, it has to be scrollable and completely transparent with white text,
any suggestions? and thanks in advance
Android Agenda Widget is scrollable and can be configured to do exactly what you seem to be describing.

Android Pro Widgets - https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZHIud2lkZ2V0cy5jb3JlIl0. = allows you to select 100% transparency in some of the themes. Its a paid app but in addition to a Calendar Widget (which also provides an agenda view) it also provides widgets for Facebook, Twitter, and Messaging. For at least one of the themes there is a slight bug which results in a slightly darkened header on the Agenda view for the calendar but the bug is supposed to be fixed in an update.
Oh and the Icon for the app blows big time Doesn't bother me too much but for some I know its a concern.
Try Simple Calendar Widget. I love the looks of it and it meets most of your requirements. I only wish the dev would make Google Task widget as well!
Pure grid calendar widget has several skins and is awesome.
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!
I'm looking for a simple agenda/calendar widget that is scrollable, links to stock calendar when clicked, and can be size 4x2.
I really like how the stock Agenda widget looks and works, but can't figure out how to get to settings or re-size it from full-screen to 4x2.
Is this possible or whats my best alternative? I did some looking through the marketplace for other apps/widgets, but really like the stock one the best.
Thanks!
The size of a widget must be programmed by the developer. If there were a 4 x 2 Agenda widget, there would be more than one icon in the widget list when you install the widget.
Evidently, the developers concluded that you need the full screen space to accomodate all your agenda items.
I'm looking for a agenda widget that's specifically 2x1 in size, but support transparency. I like the the stock agenda widget where it only display today's events and tapping open calender app, but it doesn't do transparency. The ones I found on market (glass widget, agenda) that does support transparency are all 4x1, and display the date in big letters which I don't need.
Any recommendations?
Agenda widget pro is good, shows several calendars in one widget, even showz my touchdown / exchange appointments.
Its free on getjar appstore for the moment

I'm looking for an app with a customizable calendar widget that shows me the Reminder from Google Calendar and not only the main event. Every app I tried (Chronus, Simple Calendar and many more) only shows tasks I created as event, but if I create a Reminder none of the apps shows it. Only Google Calendar widget shows the Reminder, but is really ugly, I want something minimal or at least a bit customizable. Suggestions? Thanks
Me too!!
