Hey I'm desperatly trying to find an app which will display my next event on my agenda directly on the lockscreen.
anyone knows an app or apk I could use with the nexus, the usual apps I used are not compatible.
Widget Locker: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en with Android Agenda Widget: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.roflharrison.agenda&hl=en ought to work, I think.
+1 for Widgetlocker. I've been using this app for over a year and have loved it the whole time, except when they introduced a bug that nuked the battery of my Bionic and Photon in 4 (FOUR!) hours.
I use it to put the Weather.com small widget on my lockscreen. This was my first paid app and it is well worth it!

Is it possible to change the fixed widgets on this phone (Menu - Phone - Settings) and their icons, WITHOUT having to change your launcher - I seem to like the basic launcher (having tried about 3 or 4 now) and they all allow you to customise the fixed widgets but is this possible in the standard non customised model and if so how..?
OR is there a Launcher that will allow you to access ALL of the basic HTC widget as I quite like some of them like the expanded message and agenda page.. cheers..
Is this on a Sense ROM?
This is on the standard (as it comes) ROM. I have changed nothing and telephone was purchased new approx 2 weeks ago so its on release 2.2.1
Thanks..
You mean the dock buttons, and no theres no way change them (although if you download skins on htc hub you can get a skin that has the dock with another color and the blackboard skin makes the dock squared)
Other choice that you have is getting the full version of launcher pro, and get the fancy widget from the market
The full version of launcher pro has a "friends" widget that kinda looks like the friend stream widget, also it has a contacts widget that looks like the people widget, the dont look as good as the htc original ones but it can be an alternative
And the fancy widget app is the weather clock widget from htc alternative except it doesnt have the weather animation

Thanks, I have the full version of Launch Pro and yes it does what you say but it would not let me use some of the HTC sense widget which I also liked.. pity..
Does anyone know what widget is being used in the attached screenshot? I saw it one of the other threads and am not sure which app is that. I know for a fact that it's not the following:
Pure calendar
Agenda widget for android
Simple calendar widget?

Nope not that either
Seems like the LauncherPro Plus Calendar Widget
EDIT: Market Link here
You'll have to purchase the unlocker though to get the widgets. There's likely to be a transparent widget theme for the Calendar widget as well. There's still some issues with the Launcher though such as the Gmail widget not displaying the feed (not sure if it's fixed as of now), etc so beware.
Thanks for the info! I knew the widget seemed very familiar. I had launcher pro on my droidx for a short period of time.
APW is a better option for all the Launcher Pro widgets. They have much more customization and are updated. LP seems like it's a dead project, even though the dev claims he is still working on the rewrite. It's been way too long for an an update and I have moved on. APW works on any launcher as well.

You are right. Last update for LP came back in May. I'll check out APW. They seem to be very nice.
My only complaint with APW is the lack of themes. Lpp had some really nice ones even before the official theme system was implemented.

Yea this looks like APW widgets with full transparency on. APW is a good widget pack. One of the best if you ask me.
I am looking for a good, stable, non-spyware-including weather widget that is about half-screen and has forcasts for the upcoming days on the front screen. The "news and weather" widget included with the phone is too small. Anyone have any favorites? I would try a bunch but I don't want to junk up my phone if I don't have to.
First app I ever paid for and worth every penny. eWeather
Beautiful widgets. Have some nice clocks widgets too
Beweather pro is 99cents today. I believe it does that. Still my favorite weather app. I am going to buy that right now actually.
The only whether widget I would ever pay for is BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS on the app store. Try the free version first to check it out. It's AMAZING!

Both Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets are really nice.
Though not a widget, RadarScope is the absolute best app as far as looking at real-time weather radars.
Does any one know how to get the google calendar as a widget...not the small version, but the full month widget?
Doesn't exist.
You need to find a different widget.
TouchWiz has a month view widget.
I like to use Jorte. You can add different size widgets and I like it because you can read events without enlarging the widget.
I've been using Business Calendar for a long time. Several cool widgets available with that one.
Business calender works verey well...free version..
Executive calendar is the ****

Android Agenda Widget my go-to widget for years now, always getting better, tons of features and you can make it look almost any way you want.
As for facebook support... Never heard of any calendar that has that. And you would not want to "sync" with Google Calendar, just use the database. Anyway, if facebook is a requirement, don't think this one does it.
Pure Calendar is the best...

WOW! so I have got my New Nexus 7 32gb and it updated to 4.2.1 as soon as i powered it up and connected it to my wireless...
I am missing the calendar widget. the only calendar widget i have is for google calendar.
I really want the default calendar that shows me the whole month that i have on my phone, and from what i am reading it was originally part of the nexus 7, just wondering if it was removed or if for some reason i am missing something obvious and dont have it.
I could download any ordinary app from the store but why do that if i should have something already for free.

Google Calendar is basically just like the stock calendar.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/ Business Calendar Free is very good.
So good that I bought it.
On one side screen I set up a 5x5 Month Calendar widget (sized to cover whole window) and on the home screen I use another widget set as Agenda.
I really like that the widgets are re-sizable.
Many options.
Great app.:good:
so i went with android pro widgets for the full screen calendar and to get it synced with facebook i used UberSync which allows me to add facebook friends birthdays to the calendar. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
Three words: Executive Assistant Plus ^_^ Epically awesome! (Ok, so that's 5, but I was only counting before the happy face lol)
Pure calendar widget and apw (android pro widgets)
Pure is really nice and super configurable. Plenty of themes too.

heavyweight champ!
Wizz widget. Free and looking great, plus has other goodies, like RSS news, facebook, twitter etc. Free version has limited customization options but it is enough for me (set font/back color/transparency)

Thanks for the heads-up. This app is good enough to pull me from Google's own calendar.
There's a reason this app is rated so highly.
I also had to buy it.
Simple Calendar Widget is pretty customizable and minimalistic for those who like that sort of look.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=nav_result

android pro widget + lucid theme and I never looked back
I think you will like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338410
My vote is for Jorte
Lots of widget sizes, fully customisable colours, can display your events etc. Use it on phone and tablet

It's a complete calendar app but the widgets are nicely done.
