widgets like HTC

[jaybo1973]

Hi all

I have taken my first step into customization and put launcher pro on my phone. I love it but It is missing some widgets that I rely on that are the stock HTC.

Weather
Gallery
News
Calendar (agenda view)
Switches for WiFi, data etc

I have tried beautiful widgets but I like the bigger HTC weather. Switches are ok. Can anyone recommend suitable replacements?

Yeah I could do with an answer to this as well, I also tried out Launcher Pro but found that without the big clock/date/weather widget in HTC Sense that it was largely useless to me.

my recommendations:

Weather - Fancy Widget
Gallery - 3D Gallery
Calendar (agenda view) - Pure Calendar or LP Plus Widgets
Switches for WiFi, data etc - Switchpro

9s-Weather (with clock) - Android app on AppBrain

Hope this does the trick.

Thanks,

Someone was asking me about a good news / weather widget. I don't know of any tried and tested ones.

given that there are loads of weather ones, any idea on a good News one?

I am using scrollable news widget at the moment. Its in its infancy but personally I think it is the best looking and best functioning one out there.

Just need Greader integration and for it to be a little more stable and then it will be perfect!

For me anyway

The widgets I use are from droidmania......You can get wifi, brightness, bt, airplane, lock screen, silent......Search the market by typing in droidmania Another one is Elixir which has settings for loads of different setups!

I use buzzbox for my news (you set up the feeds you want sent) and these can be set as a 2x2, 3x3, 4x1, or 4x4 widget.

I recommend Fancy Widget for anyone wanting an HTC like clock / weather. Lacks animations though
