Hello all
I need a recommendation for two apps.
The first thing I need is a clock widget with the following requirements:
1) maximum size 4x1
2) Will open timer/alarm clock/stopwatch options when touched (the stock is OK)
3) Displays date as well as time (not critical)
Go Weather Ex actually had everything I needed, except that it's weather forecast doesn't seem to be very accurate and I don't want a widget downloading useless data. (Go Clock would also be OK, but the only widget which is less than two lines in height is the transparent one, which I think is ugly )
The second is a calender app, with a widget which will display upcoming events and open a calender view when touched (if it can be synced with Google, so much the better).
Any suggestions?
Thx

Is there any way to show month or week view in the Calendar widget?
Help appreciated.
Not that I could find - now using Pure Calendar (monthly)
I didn't really see any customization options for the built in widget itself. I switched to Simple Calendar because their widget is very customizable. You can choose how many days to show, which calendars, what color everything is, which order to show things, and even the font size. I'll attach a screenshot so you can check it out.
Any idea how to fix it? Ive tried removing and replacing the widget. Not sure what else i can do.
Which weather widget are you referring to? I tried the accuweather (i think that's what comes with the phone), but wasn't what I wanted.
Anyways, you may also want to consider other weather widgets on market. I found 3D Digital weather clock and also Android Weather on market and found I like the Android Weather better - it offers transparency, shows location, date/day, time and current temp and weather condition.

Yup, I do mean the stock one. I tried uploading a picture of it thru the xda app, but it keeps hanging. Thanks for the tip, I'll try Android Weather.
Update: the ota update for 2.3.6 fixed the issue.
Hello everybody,
I use Launcher7 on my SGS2. I know about most other launchers, and yes I know they support widgets way better, but I really like Launcher7's style. The only thing I am having a hard time with, is finding widgets that are compatible with this launcher / that fit in the tiles while still being readable.
Does anyone know some widgets that work well with this launcher? For now, I have found that (with a little bit of patience) the following widgets work great (next to the widgets provided within the launcher):
* Animated widget pro
* Advanced clock pro
* Google (play) music
I would love to hear from other Launcher7-users about other widgets that work for you! Please, do not post messages about other launchers, I am fully aware about their existence!
you need to experiment I have not a significant issue w/ widgets on L7.
Click on special tiles, select widget, the you get options menu:
1
2
full screen
Experiment! 1 w/ full screen
2 w/ full scree
2 alone
1 alone etc
this process gives you diff size tiles.
Some large clock widgets may be a little off I agree
good luck
I don't have my previous ROM name at hand, sadly, But I recently flashed SR Lollipop v6.
I use Nova Launcher and thought it had it's own Weather widget, so when I went to try and place a weather widget with a clock on it, I couldn't find one. Any app I download to use as a replacement, I can't get my LG Clock app to open when I tap the time. Is this an System App issue or a user issue?
In other words, before I flashed a new rom, when I tapped on the clock in my weather app, it opened my alarms. If I tapped the weather, it opened a weather app. HOWEVER, It was NOT the default weather app that comes with LG. It was a centered clock with weather underneath, similar to yahoo weather.
How do I fix this?
Please delete this thread, or close it. I have figured out my issue. It was an App called Chronus.
Is there any way to remove the date from the digital clock? I have the stock weather widget running in the top right corner, which also shows the date, so it's redundant to also have it displayed in the clock, which is right below it.
Barring that, is there a recommended digital clock widget that has the same stock font, can be sized to the 4 x 2 of the stock clock, and had the option to display no date?
There are a ton of available clock and weather apps in the Play Store that have wigets, usually with more customization options than the stock Android versions. If you do a little trial and error testing it shouldn't take you long to find what you are looking for. You can also look for general widget apps like Beautiful Widgets which usually include clock and weather widgets because they tend to be the most popular.

This might get you started but if you don't find something to your liking there are a ton more in the Play Store. It shouldn't be hard at all to find either a digital clock widget or a weather widget that doesn't also display the date. There are also a lot of clock widgets that actually display the weather as well, so if you liked something like that you could use one widget instead of two and save yourself a little battery. I used to use one like that called Fancy Widgets but it didn't have as many customization options as some other widget apps.

Thanks for the advice. I did try several digital clock widgets, but every single one included a non-removable date. The HD Widgets in your link looks like it has what I need in it though, so I'll try that one out.
Thanks again!
