Hi guys,
I'm currently switcher over to start using nova launcher however I can't get the calender widget to act right. I love how it looks on TouchWiz, however when I use the widget over on nova launcher it's pretty terrible and overall different. On touchwiz, the Calender widget displays as a month view which is really nice, and I can easily add things to the calender without launcher the calender app.
On Nova Launcher, I'm finding that the calender widget is different, and instead of having a month view, it just shows the present day.
Any advice or Calender widget apps to recommend?
There are numerous calender apps on the market. Try a few of them.

Thank you for recommending a few...
I use retro date. It's part of the retro clock app.
Edit
Nvm. It just links to stock calender. I'm using adw launcher and the Callender widget looks the same as stock tw, but only a 2x3 size
I'm trying out Business Calendar and liking it so far. I'm trying to find replacements for all the TW features I like so I can jump to CM10 when it gets a little more stable.

I am looking for a Friendstream like widget which works on stock ICS now scrollable widgets are enabled. It needs to be a 4x4 Widget that can aggregate at least both Twitter and Facebook into one stream and has an option to update now on the widget itself.
Sonet is the best I have found so far, before I buy the adfree version I'd just like some other recommendations.
Thanks,
Inq
Launcherpro plus has a similar widget

Aye I bought Launcher Pro Plus a long while back, but I want to use the stock launcher.
The paid version of Colorize widget in the market has a widget called timeline which I believe us the same thing as the friend stream widget on sense.

You can try WIZZ - it`s designed for tablets, but also works on ICS

Also Android Pro Widgets are great, and the paid version has plenty of Themes.
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZHIud2lkZ2V0cy5jb3JlIl0.
Both offer way more, then only Facebook widgets and allow a unified (sense like) look with their variety of widgets. Nothing to do with Facebook, but works nice together with the other widgets.
Nice complentary stuff also is offered by Glass widgets (nice for Home screen)

Is there a mod for the TW Launcher that can put the correct badge counter on the gmail app and chompsms? They only work on the stock apps...
I am using Apex Launcher and it works perfectly for this.
I have seen that TW Launcher has been modded before for this purpose.
I like Apex but TW Launcher is much smoother and visually appealing (at least for me). I would love to go back to TW Launcher but this is the only issue that keeps me from going back.
On Apex Launcher I can choose which App to show the badge counter....
Same thing with the lockscreen. I wish to change the shortcuts for the lockscreen and their badges.
Thanks
Have you tried nova? With Tesla unread add on?

No... will do now...
I am using Apex...
Nova is looking nice!!!! super smooth... much more than apex... even flipboard is now smoother!!!!!
which one would you recommend? pro and con of each?
i really like touchwiz annimation when opening up app drawer. And the touchwiz widget
i tried apex on s3 and it was smooth but it doesnt include the touchwidget widget like the calender month and the weather widget
is there a way to get the touchwiz widget on apex or nova?

Nova and apex are almost the same but it has gesture support, wider range grid and has support for icon packs to change the looks of icons and no. No touchwiz widget on third party launchers

I used nova over stock, never used apex. However when sliding between homescreens there would ALWAYS be a lag upon the first swipe to a not yet visited screen, which bothered me a lot but eventually decided to just root and flash a cm10 based rom. Still would prefer nova over touchwiz, especially allowing the ability to modify the transition speed, makes it feel much snappier. Apex may have the same settings though.
Apex vs Touchwiz Power Consumption
From My Power Consumption statistics:
Apex Launcher
Time of display on: 20m Time of CPU in use 9s
Touchwiz home
Time of display on: 28m Time of CPU in use 4s
Apperently, Apex consumes much more battery accourding these stats.

You could get Google's calendar widget, which is as good or better than Touchwiz'. Also you could get fancy widgets for weather, or weatherbug, or accuweather.
I'm using Holo launcher by the way. I think there's not too much difference between any of them.
I use Nova, works great. Never used Apex so I cant say. Touchwiz is okay but I dont really like it.

I use Apex. I just need a grid that's at least 6 tall by 5 wide.
I tried Nova, too, and they are indeed almost the same. Nova did some things better but I switched back to Nova because of the app drawer - infinite scrolling within a tab. It was just too annoying to not have it with Nova.

Since S2 i am on apex. Never thought of looking another option .
For widgets there are alot of options in play store.
I use Xperia more smooth to me second favourite is nova consume less battery to the others

My wife and I love the TW calendar widget. Its nice to have access to the entire monthly view from your home screen instead of just an agenda. We both run Apex on our Roms. Is there a way to get it to work with our launcher?

I have the Apex Launcher (free version) on a stock rooted Note II. I didn't notice the widget, so I just put it on my home screen. O.K., I only see the Event Viewer, not the full Calendar. I changed many settings on Apex. Nothing worked. Sorry I wasn't able to help, just confirm.
This isnt possible. It will only run on touchwiz based launchers. I know, it sux.
