I heard from several of my friends who own Acer / HTC devices that there's supposed to be a native google calendar widget. However, on my i9000 I can't find it under either Android Widgets or Samsung widgets.
I downloaded a calendar widget from the market, but it doesn't look as good as the "native" one my friend showed me. Any idea where one could obtain that particular widget?
i couldnt find one either, the samsung widgets overall are very poor compared to sense UI, some of the apps are quite nice, but need more widgets.

i find this quite annoying too.. I'm now using smooth calendar from the market.
Did samsung block some of the native android widgets? or just not include? would we be able to install them without root?
I'm gonna bump this one. I really dislike the non-stock versions I find out there. I just want the stock google one. Please, someone help?
bump,
I would also like a calendar widget. Stock widgets are always better quality than custom ones

I love that thing. It has all the news you want from your sources displayed and scrollable. You don't need to click into anything like all the other widgets or apps. I can't seem to find anything exactly like it.
Curious if you ever found a solution. I'd love to dump Sense for Cyanogen but some of the HTC widgets have no equal in the Marketplace; the newsreader widget being one of them.
Hey guys...
I know I'm late in the game but I just got launcher pro now and while I see the potential I'm also seeing some negative aspects...
I relied heavily on my favorites and agenda widgets and now I can't use them (don't even show up under widgets with lp)...what gives? Are there alternatives to these two?
What about htc weather?
I guess my question is...what htc apps/widgets don't work under lp and are there good alternatives for them?
Thanks!

No HTC widgets will work on LP. Search the market for diff calendar widgets and such.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
LauncherPro Plus comes with a few Sense like widgets- People, Calendar, Bookmarks, Messaging, Twitter, and Facebook. They are just as good as the Sense ones IMHO.
For the clock with weather download Beautiful Widgets or search xda for the .apk for Fancy Widget.
fancy widget looks exactly like the sense weather/clock widget if your looking for something like that

This has been answered to death all over these forums. The htc widgets will absolutely NOT work without Sense. Period.
As much as I would love to completely dump Sense I think htc really hit the mark on several of their widgets for which there is no equal in the market yet (Scrollable RSS, scrollable Exchange Mail).
However, if you are only looking for favorites and agenda I would recommend checking out LauncherPro Plus. It is a steal at $2.99 and the developer has been working diligently developing widgets with similar functionality to the HTC Sense widgets of which the Favorites, Bookmarks, Calendar, Facebook, Twitter, and Messaging are already done (Future updates are included in the $2.99 price).
I go back and forth between Fresh's ROM which has Sense and CyanogenMod which does not, however, without LauncherProPlus I would not even consider it.
Is there any way to get the actual FriendStream app working in CM7? I know about Launcher Pro Plus widgets and similar programs like Pure Messenger Widget, but I'm curious about getting some of the actual Sense apps working.
Any tips/advice appreciated!
short answer is no. sense apps/widgets will never work except on a sense base ROM, and CM is aosp.
best thing you can do is find replacement widgets from the market.

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Calendar widget in a seperate apk? I have CM10 installed and like the TW calendar better than the CM one.
Think you are out of luck. The TouchWiz Stock apps made by Samsung tend to only work on TouchWiz based ROMs.
Dang, ok. I'll just have to find a similar calendar widget then.
I simply changed launchers to Nova and I really wanted that Touchwiz widget. I have yet to find one that comes close. They did a really great job with it
I've tried Nova, GO, & Apex and didn't really care for them. Maybe I just didn't give them enough time. I'm really liking CM10 but missing some of the features of TW, like the calendar widget.
Has anyone found a way to get the stock calendar and email app onto CM10? I think the stock TW versions are much better than the ones included in CM10.

Simple Calendar is a pretty great widget if you haven't already checked it out. Very customization and can even include tasks from other apps.

I like the CM10 email app. I think it works a lot quicker than the stock one... But I gotta say the stock calendar is more preferable for me.
Will the calender widget or any other app from the original stock Evo ROM work on the newer Jelly Bean ROM? I really like it and hope to use it. I want to know if they are compatible since it's just an older app.

You mean from stock? No, no sense based app's or widgets will work on any of the ics/jb roms, only GB sense roms.

Thats what I thought but I wasn't sure. I read that all of the sense apps are designed to run with the Rosie Scroll. I just wanted to make sure. Thank you.
The stuff on the market sucks. Does anyone know of a full page Google calender widget, or one that is compatible with it? I"m having trouble locating one.

I personally use Business Callendar. The widget is better then sense in a lot of ways. (smaller text, more on the screen, and like 15 different color palates). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netgenius.bizcal That's the free version. Paid version was the app of the day on amazon market a while back. So I can't comment on the ad's, because I have the paid version. Try the free version first and if you like it....
A couple other favorites of people...
Calengoo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calengoo.android I didn't care for the widgets (unless they have been updated), but will also synch google tasks.
Pure Calendar Widget.. EXTREAMLY customizable
- Agenda view https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_calendar
- Calendar view https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar
They also have a few other cool widgets.
Also, some of the launchers have pretty cool built in widgets. Go Launcher, Launcher pro plus. Seems like there was another couple also.

Yep, that Business Calendar is the business.... Ha... Did you buy the paid version? What features are unlocked? I just downloaded the free version yesterday, but I haven't had much time to play with it yet. I'm having phone issues. Tell me what you like about it and if I should spend the $4.99 for it.
It was the free app of the day about 9 months ago on the Amazon Appstore, so I have the full version. Best parts of the paid app (besides no ad's) is more widget themes and a dark theme for the actual app instead of the light theme. Has some other things also, like linking certain contacts to events, drag and drop for some things, and making a template for events.
Personally, I just REALLY like the widget. Best calendar widget I've found.
I would highly recommend "Agenda Widget for Android."
Highly costomizable and free. The only draw back is that it isn't like the stock evo calender widget what displays the whole month.
