I love the stock (samsung?) calendar as I am able to hover over events, and its ease of use. I also use a lot of the task/todo function it offers, but I notice that it does not sync with google tasks... which is not a biggie... but what I do want is a home screen widget to display tasks.
Is there a widget to that will display the (samsung?) calendar todo list to display on one of my home screens?
Just go to apps > widgets , then there is 3 different calender widgets to choose from... not sure if this is what you are wanting?
Google play store> GTasks app. Has some widgets. Not sure if thats what you wanted.

I'm looking for a great app that integrates google's calendar and tasks, with a very slick interface that makes it easy to plan my day, prioritize tasks, etc. But it also needs to not interfere with my ability to use Calendar and Tasks on my PC at home and at work.
I've tried Astrid, which is having problems with google sync. I am currently using BeOrganized, which looks nice, but does not have all the functionality I'd like.
I like business calendar for calendar.

This, if for nothing else but the widgets. My only gripe about it is there isn't an option for a dark calendar view rather than the all white. Still the best calendar app I've used.
I use GTasks for quick notes of to-do lists, then Touch Calendar for everything else. I'm not into these dark apps, so I chose them based on their bright, visual appeal.
I like Jorte, but honestly, when I started using it nothing else supported tasks and calendar at all. So I haven't had a chance to compare it to the newer crop of apps.
+ 1 for Jorte. It syncs with google calendar and tasks.

Hey all,
Not sure if this type of widget exists, but i'm looking for an email widget.
Right now i have 3 accounts on the phone, 2 gmail and 1 email. The shape of the stock widgets makes me put 2 accounts on one screen and 1 on another, kinda looking bad.
Is there a widget that will combine all these accounts, in a 'stack' type of widget (like the youtube one) so i can just scroll between the three accounts?
Or any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks!
any thoughts?
Try "Android Pro Widgets". They have several sense like widgets available for free in the market.

I have two Google accounts on my phone right now. One is my primary gmail account that I use for everything, and the other is for school emails and everything related to academic work.
What I did this semester is I put my schedule in my school gmail account, instead of in my regular account like I had been. I'd like to know if there is a way to pick different accounts and display the two accounts on two separate widgets. I'd prefer to use the stock android widget as that has never given me issues although I realize I can always download a Calendar app and have this problem solved. However it would be nice to not have to download anything and keep the way my home screens look uniform. It would also be nice because the stock calendar widget has a native lock screen widget that looks and works really well.
Basically, is there a setting in the stock calendar widget to select just one gmail account per widget? Or should I just download a calendar widget from the Play Store and do things that way?

I needed to fully reinstall my Note2. But couldnt able to get the backup because my phone was in bootloop...
Anyways, after I reinstall everything, there was this widget missing, it was a calendar and tasks widget. Cant find it, i have checked the installed and purchased applications of my all but not in there.. it should be out of market in the period after I installed it..
A few reminders of it screens:
@ first of all it is a widget.
@ Sync with google tasks and other calendars.
@ You can add tasks and tasks add themself to google tasks in your account.
@ You can also select to add event to your calendar list.
@
@ Scrollable agenda style widget which is transparent
There is a line on top,on top of the line there are 3-4 buttons, refresh, settings etc. Under the line starts the tasks and calendar. You can select to show the tasks seperate from date event and show them on top of the list.
@ When you tap on the settings button on the widget, you can change the transparency level and color of the widget. You can also put a transparent light or dark background of the widget.
@ I became really obsessed about this and looking for this for 3 days... where the f.is this...! Please help !!!
@ No it is NOT
Astrid, gtasks, apw, simple calendar widget, acalendar, tasks and widget, tasks list, agenda manager, tasks free, calendar agenda widget, Jorte calendar...
@ it is really very small and free software... and believe me I have purchased the biz calendar but this on is better as a widget !! It at least includes the tasks list of google account.....
Please anyone if you used some kind of this I will immediately install and try that..
I will also share this perfect one and tell you guys if I find it first....
I will update the list that are NOT the ones I am talking about...
THANK YOU !!!
I guess no one can help (
I made a mistake and suggested maybe Business calendar then realized you already mentioned it. I cant seem to delete this post because of some new user restriction.

yeait looks like a puzzle thread to me now , too) but unfortunately it is not Jorte. I have checked the Jorte Just now after your thread. But no... it is not. The one that I am looking for is more like a tasks widget and sync with google tasks...
Is there a way, without downloading a 3rd party app, to get the samsung calendar and/or email widgets aside from what are on the magazine ux, which are a bit cumbersome in my opinion. I'd prefer to have the same widgets I have on my galaxy S5: full screen month view calendar widget, and the default email widget. Is there a way to do this, also, without doing a different launcher, like Nova, which I've tried and don't love.
Odd Samsung would strip these out, but they clearly want to push this magazine ux thing.
Thanks in advance for the help!
I am also looking for the calendar widget. Someone knows how to get it? I don't like this magazine ux

I too was annoyed at this. I didn't mind losing TouchWiz, but wanted to stay stock for potential future updates (please Google change SD card write access) so I downloaded the "Google Now Launcher" to get rid of the Magazine UX (although I didn't install "Google Now" so not to have that pop up on the home screen). I use "Pure Grid Calendar Widget" from the Play Store. If you choose the "4x4 free" calendar you can set the pixel count for your tablet/preference upon creating the widget. I have it around 1550x1550 pixels for my Tab Pro 8.4 and stretched it to fit most of the screen.
I liked Pure Grid Calendar Widget on my old HD2, but didn't need it on my S3 and S5 because the Samsung Calendar was similar. Enable events in the timeline to show descriptions in month view on the widget. I also wanted a full-screen email widget for 2 accounts, so I downloaded Aqual Mail, which looks and works similar to the S5 Email widget. I stretched that widget to full screen too (or square with some app shortcuts below it).
All in all, Google Now Launcher made the Home Screen interface seem less laggy (along with some adjustments to animations in Develop Options). Add in these two free apps (paid version unlocks additional features) and I it gives a similar feel to my S5 setup. I know you said you didn't want to download any apps, but this seems to be the only option (I didn't check Samsung Apps for a calendar though, don't know if they have something there).
***Note: I don't have any apps installed on the SD Card, but some people say that the shortcuts for apps installed on SD Cards disappear from the Home Screen if you use the Google Now Launcher.
