it's just a agenda , not exactly a calendar....
I would have posted a widget call "battery disc" but since i am a noob here, it won't let me post links...what a shame:crying:

data plan
How about a lock screen widget with the data plan stats on it that would be awesome and also to have just the normal data plan widget for the home screen with all the stats and the limit for the day.

HD Widgets was updated and now can be used for the lockscreen.

I second this; it looks great, and even compresses the widgets when you pull down the keypad. :good:

Free Calendar app

Is there a free Calendar app that has a 4x4 widget that syncs with google calendar...
Struggling to find one that works on my nexus

Personally I'm using the default Calender widget. You can resize it to 4x4. It's not as good as Simple Calender Widget but until that is fixed for ICS it's better than nothing.

You learn something every day, I did not know you could re-size widgets.
Ive succesfully done that but it just shows today, can you change the view to a monthly calendar?
Thanks though mate, appreciated
No prob. Glad to to help.
I don't see any way to change the display settings of the Calender widget though. Seems like it's stuck like that.

Have you tried Jorte? I don't know if it's updated for ICS yet, but it's my go-to calendar. You can display the whole month in a 4x3 or 4x4, with your calendar entries actually spelled out, instead of just a dot that you have to zoom in on to see what it is. Pure Calendar Widget also does this, but is widget only, and costs $2.99 in the market.
Android pro widgets is really clean.. Also it includes a nice timeline style widget with both Facebook and twitter!
I recommend the paid version.. Some good themes.
Edit: forgot I was still in galaxy Nexus forums.. Not sure if it is ics compatible.

Full screen calender widget

Can anyone recommend a full screen or 4X6 calendar widget that shows the full month view? Another member submitted this screenshot in a different post but never responded to my pm about it.

I'm using Jorte which has several resizeable widget options for a full screen calendar.
Calender
The best calender widgets that i found and use is Wizz (scroll-able widget)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbm93YmVlLmNvbG9yaXplLmhkIl0.
Also think Business Calendar is good

Android Pro Widgets or APW.

Thanks for the input. Pure Calendar looks pretty good but I opted for the free Business Calender. It's exactly what I was looking for!

I use Android Pro Widgets because it also has a Facebook and Twitter widget. So you get everything I need in one download. Plus it has tons of sweet themes to really match my setup.

Take a look on Calengoo!
With this you can make a full screen widget.
I use Pure Calendar Widget...

Transparency is only good so far, wow. I dunno how you'd possibly read anything there, although your screenshot only shows the calendar, not events...
As for me, I use Agenda Widget for Android, which is very customizable and works good. I've used it for the whole time I've used Android, honestly never looked to see if there was anything out there better since. It has a list view (agenda, but you can do almost anything with it) or a grid view (calendar).
The good thing about it is that it supports a bunch of third party calendar apps too, like it can show (and create) events in Touchdown Exchange, etc.
Another vote for Agenda Widget. BTW, you must get paid version to be able to see calendar layout. Like previous poster, I'm not even thinking about trying something else. It's just that good. At least for me.

calender pad pro is worth a look , been using it for some time.
The events show up as slashes in the corners of the dates.

+1 Wizz Widgets because of the customizability

That specific calendar is APW widgets with the Lucid theme. Both are available in the play store, though to use themes you have to buy the pro key. I just set up that combo from the same pic you showed. It resizes well.

[REQUEST] Port for S Planner widget for launchers out of touchwiz

Hi there, I realised that the s-planner widget will not work on other launchers apart from Touchwiz, is there a way to port it over so that it can be used freely on other launchers? its such a great app+widget combo, only lacks alternative launcher support... :crying::crying:
I'm very new to this, any form of guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
I also really want this. There are no other widgets that show the whole monthh with the actual appointments showing.

Wizz Widget only shows the current month, so when you're towards the end of the month you can't look at the next month.

aha ok thanks
and how can I keep the widget full page? I installed a calendar widget but it stays minimised and I can see only one appointment...
gosh this new lockscreen is crap
I think the only way to expand it it's click on it... and yes, it's not one of the best designed feature in JB...

[Q] Animated weather on lockscreen?

Anyone know a weather widget I can use on lockscreen that works like HTC Animated Weather? That made clouds, sun, rain across the entire lockscreen. I remember I use to have one that when it rained on one ROM you would see a wiper wipe away the rain drops but I can't find an app that does that. Using MOAR ROM with Android 4.3
Fancy widgets has that option

Thanks will check that out. Checked it out and does not work.. Fancy Widgets! Beautiful Widgets! Animated Weather! None work with MOAR 9 ROM. Maybe something broken with the Android 4.3. All I know is I can not get a single animated weather to work! Is there some mod that I can flash that will give me animated weather?
I wonder how to add weather widget in lock screen, too
I'm also using MOAR 9

From what I understand the feature is no longer available due to Google and there stupidity removing feature from the kernel. Why does the kernel seem to be getting less and less features as they update. Google we'll give you one feature but take away 2 or 3 but because of the 1 you will never miss it.. I really hate Google.
