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?

Facebook sync question. I have searched.
On a Sense Rom Facebook syncs all the latest Facebook pictures to my contacts just fine. Also on an AOSP Rom Facebook will sync all the contact pictures just fine. BuT... When I use the Launcher Pro people widget the widget will not sync the pictures. If I use the Sense people widget the pictures sync just fine. I have set up the the Launcher Pro to sync with Facebook and the Friends Widget works great.
Any ideas?

I don't think the people widget in lp has anything to do with Facebook. Set up Facebook for HTC sense under accounts in settings to sync as little as possible, and that should sync up your fb contact pics.

Edit - I just reread your post, and I think I completely missed what your issue was. If the pics are already synced, I don't know why the people widget isn't showing them, or even if its supposed to.
it doesn't work perfectly, but it does work, at least on mine. or, at least the last time i used it it did. i've been using adw for about 2 weeks now, so i don't remember exactly
anyhoo,
sync your facebook contacts, then start the widget. or, if you already have the widget up after a facebook sync, try using the refresh option on the widget. that should work for at least some of your contacts. not sure why it doesn't work for all of them...
does anyone know how to make the people widget behave like the sense people widget(when pressing on a contact to direct call him)?
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.

The native calendar and one I downloaded called Calendar seem to be in sync with each other regardless of how I set them. I set the native one to my sync with gmail calendar and the new one has a folder/calendar I created. No matter which account I select, the other calendar changes to it. I can't use them as two different calendars. Hope that was clear enough! Any thoughts?

I can't help you directly but have you tried Agenda Widget Plus? It lets you choose which calendars to use (e.g. exchange or google calendars). It's not really a calendar app but has nice widget options
Android basically collapses all calendars into a single view. Depending on the app or widget, you can select which calendars to view, as well as to which calendar a new entry should be saved. The data is kept within each calendar, so if you delete one the other calendars will stay. If you use Outlook, its very much like the overlay view.
Hope that helps clear the confusion.

Has anyone found a good way to separate different calendars between different apps/widgets? My goal is to have my work (exchange) calendar shown in one agenda-like widget, but I don't want all those events cluttering up my regular personal (google) calendar. No matter what I try, all my calendars seem to enable themselves across any apps I use. For example, I have Jorte, and I would uncheck my work calendar so that it wouldn't show up. Then in a second app (tried the stock calendar, Agenda Widget, Business Calendar, Cal), I would make this calendar visible. But when I go back to Jorte, the work calendar is still unchecked but is showing up in the calendar and in widgets. Is there any app I'm missing that has this functionality, or is this just some kind of bug in experiencing?
