I absolutely LOVE the widgets that are on this phone! Very clean looking. Anyone have any idea where I can download these? I have BW and Fancy Widgets etc. but these widgets are exactly what I'm looking for. Any way to get these working on the GN? Looks like stock ICS so hopefully, it's just apk's!

I agree, would like these too.
Looks more like a live wallpaper than Widgets

I think we can easily run them once someone throws out a build of the padfones software. On the transformer, we were able to use the widgets from the stock software on aosp roms like aokp. And I also want them, I love Asus' minimal widgets.

Engadget had a story about the PadFone with the same Widgets and a different background. Most likely they're widgets.

Wanted to bump this. I'm also very interested. Running my GNex on Paranoid Android and would like to give it a Transformer look.
I believe you can get a very similar look with Fancy Widgets...

I can't seem to find anything that compares. Colorize widget was the closest I could find, but it doesn't work spd shell 3d. Any alternatives that will work without using a common launcher?

I feel your pain, I had sense withdrawls when I first switched, then they went away but lately they have been coming again. With all the issues I've had with sprint and the lack of support from samsung, I think I'm going back to htc soon.
Anyways, enough of my rant, the closest I have found is the "android pro widgets", and it's free! It comes as a pack with a friendstream style widget, bookmark, calendar and even people widgets.
I really don't get why touchwiz comes with 7 screens and practically no widgets. HTC makes the only phone I have ever been able to create a nice layout using all screens and not have wasted space.
I miss feeds and updates widget that was on the first epic. Don't know why it's gone on the S2. If it's bcuz of social hub they could at least had added a widget for it!

Thx, but unfortunately it doesn't scroll for me and that arrow down is flakey

If you're looking for 3rd party (truly) scrollable widgets for spb shell 3d you won't find any. The reason APW uses a scroll button is the lack of scrollable widget support in your used launcher.
I use APW on my view tablet with and it is awesome. Better than sense for sure. If you really want friendstream, switch to launcherpro plus instead of touchwiz. LPP is smooth as hell and the widgets are awesome.

I've seen some pretty slick weather Widgets screenshots but can't for the life of me find the damn thread. I'm looking for something that doesn't look like sense. Big and pretty is what I'm going after.
I have beautiful Widgets and a few others but nothing appeals to me or doesn't resize to use screen space. Any suggestions?
Also where in the hell is the "Show me your Setup" thread? I've looked in Apps, General, and Q/A
Update:
Found Weather Widgets suitable for now. Still open to suggestions. Links or screenshots preferred.

Try HD Weather Widget. It is HIGHLY customizable and you can make it look as close or as different from Sense as you like.
Here's the show me your screen thread.

There's also Beautiful widgets. It's a bit less complex. I get lost in HD widgets.
i am using asus weather
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713975
like the clean and simple look
i like palmary weather i bought the pro one. 4x4 is biggest you can go so it doesnt fill screen but the 15 day forecast is nice.
Asus weather? Nice and big...:laugh:
Weather Eye has awesome widgets that are resizable & customizable.
This is the weather app I've been waiting for.

I love be weather and the options
Yea Asus Weather is great and I used it on my N7 before but I came from a Transformer so looking for something different. Ill probably give HD Widgets a go.
Whatever I'm using now is already getting boring.
HD Widgets was what I was looking for. The 4x4 weather widget. They didn't have it in the screenshots so I passed over it. Its OK.

Hey guys I was wondering if it would be possible to turn the first result you get in a weather search in jelly bean into an interactive widget. I think that would be cool.

Agreed this would be brilliant and I'm sure one of the developers round here could do it.
I'd like to see this too. I've thought about it before.
I've actually tried doing it before with various apps that grab data from website and put them in widgets but its the design and simplicity of the google weather thing thats so perfect for an android widget.
I'd be willing to pay for this for sure!
I've been interested in getting this app for a while and finally hit the switch, pretty amazing, if anyone interested get it right now.
Normally its like 2-4$?

I got away from it. Huge lack of new designs and problems with widgets displaying properly.

They should be called beautifully dated widgets...
And what would be the modern beautiful widgets?

Yep...HD widgets is the way to go.
Got it on sale recently and it is excellent. The customisation options go real deep. Some beautiful clocks and weather options.
I don't use any other clock or weather widget on any of my devices anymore now.

Even Fancy Widgets is better than Beautiful Widgets
Ditto. Bought it because I had read so many good comments about it in the past, but I was kind of disappointed in it. Back to "Make Your Clock" where you just roll your own from scratch.
I've had this one for a while and like it quite a bit. Pretty broad selection of themes, though as others have said, it has been a while since much new material has been added. Never had any significant problems with it in terms of functionality, either with my Evo or my GNex.

I don't have any problems with Beautiful Widgets. I personally don't like HD Widgets as I find their widgets aren't are as nice.
What does everyone use for launchers? Any one have a good minimalistic theme? I'm running xylon11

Only "stock" launcher I use on GNex
I really really like nova. I know some have mixed opinions about it but it serves Me well. Also I just started making custom wallpapers for xylon . I go pretty minimal. One screen and folders with circle click widget and Bob click and nice wallpaper. That's about all I can say on that topic.

I use Nova Launcher Prime. the customization level is very high and I like a lot the gesture function toghether with the ROM actions ..
Maybe the negative thing is the ram occupation.
I'm using silky smooth Xperia launcher. But usually ADW Ex. It is amazing. He just updated maybe 2 months ago. Very tablety.
