Help needed: Cool 1x1 Widgets, Search Bar and Games!

imsoawesome · Jul 23, 2010

Hi all!! I'm new to the boards and Android as I have only had my SE Xperia X10 for a week and need a bit of help to finish setting it up.

Anyone have any advice for the following:

1) Best 1x1 Widgets: I am looking for some cool 1x1 widgets for empty spaces on my home pages.

2) News/Weather Widget: I need a good news and/or news and weather widget. Find BBC News way too small, NYT is ok but would love any advice on others. Maybe even something with a ticker. The Xperia X10 is only running 1.6 not sure about the new google weather/news widget that I have read about but it sounds like what I am looking for. Can be any size but I prefer 2x4. Not fox news though please!

3) High Quality Graphic Games: Best mind blowing graphic games, for the amazing 854x480 screen? Half the ones I have downloaded are pixelated on my screen. I'm married to a video game artist for a major gaming company and they are not impressed with Android offerings I have found. I want to prove him wrong!

Thank you so much in advance, any help is appreciated!

Search Widget - What kind of phone are you using? If it has a search button, there's no need for a search bar.

Thanks for the Gameloft Link!! Any particular one to recommend that is worth the money?

No specific search button on my phone that i can see but did just discover in the 96 page guide that is pretty easy to find using another button so don't worry about that question!

Well, I've published a review for some astronomy/Moon stuff here:

may be some of them can be considered as good looking widgets.

look up Multicon.
This allows you to squeeze in links to apps or shortcuts into a 1x1 ->1x4 space. it fits mini-versions of the icons into the same spot. i use it for my most used apps and it still looks good on the screen.

Multicon is a cool app, wish it could accept theme icons from ADW themes though.

I have created a 1x1 widget background based on Google's widgets. See Android Widget 1x1 | Hou-ou
