Share how you use your WIDGETS!

[androidtp]

Okay, I've spent 2 whole hours making sure that I'm not repeating a thread and I couldn't believe no one has made a thread on their fav widgets yet and how they use them! This is something similar to Khaag27's forum so plz dont hit me with copyright infringements lol..

To start out, I don't have a screen capture, so I can't just show you the screen shots, which I strongly encourage others to use if they have it..rooted bastards lol..but I'll tell you which widgets I have on which screens. I also know that widgets take up a lot of your battery, but I don't see many people using them on their screens. It's like why not?!?!

On my furthest screen to the left, I just have 3 widgets, which are my personal favorite because they tell me all my interest in life! (well almost) They are Gaming Buzz, US Sports Buzz, and Mobile Buzz by AdMob. Great widgets that I've never seen others use.

Next is just my gaming screen.

Next is the SportsTap widget. Like to stay updated with my Rockets and the Black Mamba

Home screen is the second HTC calendar widget..smaller version..i have the smaller version of HTC's weather app, which I update manually..I have the Ringer toggle widget..which is great for quickly configuring your vib..silent settings..and I have the Bible Daily verse..which is great for starting my day off

Next is Tune Wiki, which I rarely hear about lately, and Pandora. I also have iSearch..which I never see either..I'm starting to think if I'm really the only one using these!!

Next is the toggle settings for wifi..gps..etc..then the contacts widget..the smaller version..

I recently removed the mail widget as I saw that this was hogging up a lot of battery and I don't like nosey people really lol..

sorry for the long post but as said, I don't have screen capture In other words, what are you fav widgets?!! which probably shoulda been the title lol..
Plz share as I'm always looking for uses for my screens since I'm not a rooted user and paitently waiting for 2.1!!

But I don't really care for the way this site handles images off site, so I won't be posting any images since I don't want to waste my time posting images on some other site just to link them here...oh well...

Widgets, widgets, widgets...

Main screen standard Hero Clock/Weather widget, and the HTC Battery widget they released in the Market.

Another screen for music only, has the HTC Music widget (2 of 2) at the bottom, and the Pandora widget above that, and the AudioManager Console 'small' widget above that. With Google Listen Icon, and Pandora live Stations icon to each side of the small AudioManager widget.

Another screen has the Android Agenda widget on the top in 4x2, and the GTasks widget below it.

Another screen has the HTC People widget (2 of 2), and some of the HTC settings widgets.

Other various screens have the HTC Bookmarks widget, HTC Weather widget, HTC Peep (Twitter) widget or sometimes the HTC Weather widget.

bookmarks on the 2nd to the right, email on the 1st to the right.

On the main i've got: small digital clock (Android widget), small weather (HTC), mobile and wi-fi toggle, and HTC's battery widget. The screens to the left all have app shortcuts, organized by similar uses (people shortcuts, games, etc).

Oddly enough, I have nothing on the farthest left or farthest right screens at the moment. Mostly because I haven't found anything I really need to put there yet lol

Here's my setup:

Furthest Left - Blank

Second from left - Games

One to the left - Internet based programs - Dolphin, Wiki, Google Maps, Google Voice, Ebay, Amazon, Sports tap, etc...

Center - Beautiful Home 2x4 Clock (The HTC one was so slow at updating the clock and the weather was annoyingly slow, i.e. still showing a moon at 11:00 in the morning), Icons for messages, message link for my girlfriend, people, and calendar.

One to the right - Tools/entertainment/random, pandora, music, acar, calculator, daily strip, etc.

One more to the right - Settings, combo of beautiful home and htc settings widgets, battery life, audio manager widget, link to settings and spare parts

Furthest right - Agenda Widget (4x4) - I like the look and features much more than the HTC one.

Nice set up. with your shopsavvy, do u normally run out of battery? i heard that this greatly reduces your battery. do u use the 3banana app a lot? i have it but don't really see a good use for it as far as jotting down notes..seems pretty hard..i uninstalled handcent..couldn't get none of my pix that my girlfriend sent me

gmail has a widget?! had no clue!! and i'll be downloading klaxon..hope it's loud cuz i'm a heavy sleeper! nevertheless..u have some good widgets..how is your battery life really?!
