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 some decent widgets for example the clock/weather widget that is on the evo. Same with a message widget similar to the one on the evo. Any ideas would be very helpfull. And if anyone has any snapshots of their screens to get some ideas of how to lay them out. Please list what widgets are being used with each screen shot as well. Thanks in advance.
Beautiful widgets it what u want for clock/weather which is a payed app. Only thing I know that has sense like messaging is launcher pro which is free for the basic version. Launcher pro plus is wa worth the money tho.

Can you post some of your screens?
Has anyone ever had any issues with Beautifyl widgets and the animations? I keep getting beautiful widgets needs to connect to the internet and download 1020kb for the forecast animations then it goes to download and doesn't download anything. Any clues anyone?
Sorry don't have access to a computer at the moment. But as far as your question I have not had that problem.

Here is my homescreen using nebula rom 1.0.6 twin jet, themed with the gingerbread theme, icons I found somewhere on here and tweaked a bit, launcher pro dock and, of course, beautiful widgets.
My BW widget skins are myriad-clean for the clock (this will change to either 42blue or blueglownaked when theimpaler releases his new theme) and Bullet_droid for the weather.
I just flashed MIUI and really like it. But I'm upset about my missing calendar widget. Does anyone know of an aesthetically pleasing, full page calendar/agenda widget akin to Sense's? Thanks.
Actually, maybe a better idea. Is there a way to theme launcherpro to look like miui launcher?
I use LauncherPro with MIUI but I hate the look of the LP Widgets. I use Android Agenda Widget for my calendar. There are a bunch of skins for it and you can customize it pretty much any way you want. It's free too which is always a plus.

I use Smooth Calendar agenda widget (it's 1x4) and Jorte Calendar (3x4) monthly view widget. Both are free in the market and sync with my Google calendar. This combination takes up an entire screen and gives me everything I need at a quick glance.

I use Colorize Widget myself
another one here for smooth calendar, i have it show 3 events and you can tell it to use what calendars and what apps to run off of
I appreciate all the replies, I actually downloaded each widget suggested... but none of them quite did it for me :/
I love the aesthetic of colorize, but there is no calendar and it seems like it doesn't sync with google?
I liked the functionality of jorte, but man, thats an ugly widget, even when i switched over to black. (white is hideous)
Smooth calendar is cool, except I really want a full screen widget.
Oh well, it looks like I'm switching back to LauncherPro, that calendar widget is just too awesome to lose.
Yeah either sense or lp it is i guess

Pure Calendar Widget.
Hi
I quite like the facebook and twitter widgets for launcher pro however go launcher seems more customisable but i dont want to lose those widgets so can anyone think of a good replacement for the widgets?
Sent from my SGS II using my thumbs
Colorize Widget is the closest one I have found.
Free too
You might want to try this. It's Kamma's Status Updater and should fit your needs perfectly.
Or if you don't fancy that then you could pick up Pure Messenger widget and configure it to just show your twitter and facebook updates (although personally I find it a little bit sluggish for scrolling).
What would you buy? HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets?
HD Widgets got an update today and are on sale now. Not sure if it is a good deal.
Maybe somebody tried both?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I have both. I only use HD Widgets because it's very polished. Beautiful Widgets allows you to install different themes for the widgets, which is awesome, but when I used it the selection was unappealing to me. I'm sure there are more themes now, though.
Never used HD Widgets, but Beautiful Widgets has a loooot of themes.
Here's my home screen widget just for reference. I'm using the full screen widget for the Galaxy Note (5x5).

I've had beautiful Widgets since my Droid 1, 2 years ago.
I like it, and for $3 I really got my use out of it. After getting my nexus though, the screen is so brilliant, I kind of don't want to take up half that space with a clock widget. I think I might just finally be done with clock apps, I do remember trying HD widgets way back in the day and deciding on Beautiful Widgets.
I guess for me, I say BW only because I know what I'm getting, and the themes are great. It's really easy to get away from the default HTC look.
I also have both but the new HD Widgets beta version the weather does not work.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
For my Nexus I'm using BW since it has a lot of customisation options (although I really hate how the location name disappears under the weather icon for places with long names). I have HDW as well which I use on my Transformer Prime since BW has awful scalability for large screens. I very much prefer the widget layout of HDW but I can't find a theme on it that I really like over BW.

i too have both...BW for phone, HDW for tablet
i hadn't had HDW on my phone in ages and installed the latest 'update'...it was crashing ALL day, even without an active widget i was getting a "hd widgets has crashed" popup, but worse than that for me, the widget was only displaying in farenheit even though i'd selected celsius, which makes it totally useless gibberish
i won't be updating to the new version on my tablet
I have also bought both of them. Beautiful Widgets feels like it works better for a phone interface because the 4x2 Clock/Weather widget looks like it fits better on the screen and is highly themeable (for us who flash new themes and ROMs frequently).
I use HD Widgets for my tablet as the giant clock/weather widgets fit the screen much better than Beautiful Widgets does and the transparency and light theming works on my tablet as i don't flash with it nearly as much.
Just my thoughts
As with some posters above, I am a long-time BW owner, going back to the early days of the OG Droild. I loved it back then. Now, the look of those big clocks with overly-dramatic weather icons looks so 2009 to me.
After getting the GNex, I just couldn't devote so much homescreen space and I didn't want something that looked so "tired" to me, so I bought Make Your Clock Widget Pro. I designed a minimalistic "clock" widget and it's been in service on my GNex for months now. For me, it's perfect, and it's unique - just what I want, how I want it - nothing else.
Consider escaping the BW/HD Widgets look, and just go make your own.
Here’s a screenshot…
Thanks!!!
Make your clock is totally great!
I installed a free version and one widget even works. And this is ok for me.
Not sure if weather works. But I will check that later. Clock was a priority.

Nice design btw!
HD Widgets beta 3.0.1 latest play store update keeps crashing an constantly sending crash reports to google, chewing the fu#k out of my battery life with crash reports every 2 minutes even with widget removed.

Give these a look.
Android Pro Widgets with APW Google Reader
Has some nice Holo themes on the Play Store as well (Light | Dark). I believe you need to buy the APW License Key to be able to use the Google Reader app.
Minimal Reader | Minimal Reader Pro
Check out the "Pure" series of widgets. They have a scrollable news widget that is pretty sweet. It has lots of nice skins available, as well.

I am searching Nexus 7 Widget and checked many forums but failed. Please may you help me to solve my issue.
I use (and love) Feedly.
I started using Feedly on PC when it was announced that Google Reader is going to be shut down, and Feedly seemed like the best alternative, and it's also available on Android, and its widget is kind of nice. Not beutiful, just a simple RSS widget, but it gets the job done.
Genie News and Weather widget.
