    Help Just got one...can anyone answer some questions?

    Themes?

    Is there someway to save themes? On my Incredible, you could say themes/layouts....which was really nice because I'd get the layout how I like it, then save it, then I could open a blank theme to play around with something different. I like to change stuff around a lot but I don't want to...

    A better google calender widget?

    I'm using the stock calender widget with my Galaxy Nexus and it's kind of bugging me. For taking up a good chunk of the screen, it wastes a lot of space. My biggest complaint though, is it only shows items I have a time for...as in...on the computer it may show today with an "all day" event...
