The idea is to save home screen real estate... I have 1 calendar and 2 mailboxes that I want to have on one screen.it is impossible to do unless :
-there is an application that maximizes.Widgets when needed and minimizes the widget
- or a Mega tabbed widget takes place so I can open all widgets in the same screen
Thanks a million

how do I add text to my lock screen?
I need 2 lines of ~20 chars, I'd like to
position them between clock and the
ICE widget.
Maybe try widgetlocker in the market

Can't you just resize the widget?

Jorte doesnt allow me to resize the widget....
I use "business calendar" and used Jellybean OS to force resize their largest widget.
I just use the clock on my home screen to launch my calendar app. It's just as fast as swyping to a widget screen. Go launcher lets you resize any widgets.
I use pure grid calendar widget. Its the beat calendar widget hands down! So many options to choose from and themes

Another vote for the Pure calendar and/or the pure grid calendar widgets.
I have the pure calendar widget, but it doesn't have full screen calendar for the N7 (Tablet UI), even if I try to reside it.

pure calendar works full screen for me, i am using Nova launcher though, it allows me to resize.
But currently I am using Android Pro Widgets. It has the size- all resizable, and looks very good. It also has themes like pure calendar.
You should try it, the free version has no themes. I eventually bought the pro version. The facebook widget is also the best one I've seen.
Wizz Widgets ftw. I swear by it!.

i did use pure grid calendar and used the free size widget and set the pixels to 1000 x 1200 and it looks great....
Android pro widgets, love it. Especially if your a former htc sense user, has widgets for just about everything

Widgetsoid2 widgets - very configurable, use background from your gallery for contacts.
Gasks - nice scrollable one for agenda and tasks.
N7 Player
Any Go Launcher shortcut - replace with any png image.
Excellent, thanks!
Does anyone know if there is a Whatsapp widget for counting unread messages?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I use HD Widgets for time and weather. I have the paid version. Not sure what the free one is like.

I use GO Launcher and GO Notifications for unread count. You have to search for the Go Notifications apk since the Play store says not compatible. I can confirm it works with Gmail and K9.

I have downloaded and installed the apk but I can find no sign of it anywhere. Could you tell me where to look for it? Thanks!
Edit: What I mean is that I don't get the option to open the file after install. Where did you find your apk?

I'm kind of partial to the widgets below:
Weathereye (having issues at the moment): http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citc.weather&feature=nav_result#
Minimalistic Text: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result#
Flipboard: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flipboard.app&feature=search_result#
Power toggles: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=search_result#
Simple Calendar: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=search_result#
If you want to see what it looks like check the post your home screen thread here.
UCCW - most customizable clock/weather/whatever widget available, check XDA main Themes forum for UCCW thread with 100s of themes
Minimal Reader - for news
Jorte - for Calendar
I use AOKP so no need for power toggles since they are in the dropdown...
Beautiful widgets has a nice selection of weather widgets.
You talkin' to me? GO notify is part of the GO app. If you hit settings and scroll to the right, you'll see notifications (after you installed the apk), click it and lets you set notifications for various things. It's not an app or widget, but does show up in system apps list.

If only they would fix the dynamic sizing option in their 4x1 weather. Using it at the moment until weathereye gets sorted. /rant
Another vote for power toggles here. Works well with the default theme (appearance wise)

Is there a way to add more widges on the home screen? I want a google search widget between my clock and my app icons. There is definitely room but it wont let me add it.Thanks
The only way is to switch to another launcher (like Nova) that allows you to increase the vertical&horizontal grid size.
Here is my home screen

Like zmore said, try nova(my personal fav) or apex.

I've been an avid lover of "Go Launcher EX". With a screen this big, adding an extra row and going 5 wide helps out. Just take a solid hour and try out all the different launchers. IMHO I was never sold sold on touchwiz, dumped it the very first five minutes I owned the SGS1.
Try running 'Multicon' widget. It allows you to display 4 icons in the space 1 icon normally uses. Seems to work great for me.

I use widget locked and place the minimalistic text widget for calendar
type R-blood
What are some other alternative locks screens I feel like Widget locker is just getting so lazy, They haven't updated the icons in forever!

I need one that only comes up when needed, not like the WL that stays there even if you don't have any calendar appointments.
