[Q] Facebook, Twitter widget like from HTC?

Is there an app that'll give me a widget showing all my Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites' updates in one screen? I used to enjoy the one from HTC Sense, so I'm wondering if there's one for the general Android environment?

LauncherPro Plus has what you're looking for.

^^^^^^^ Got it in one.

Is this available on the marketplace? I can only find Launcher Pro. Is that the same thing?

Yes its a purchased app, it replaces your home screen too, which has alot more features themes etc can be well customized to look really nice unlike touchwiz which you can't do alot with, once purchased Launcher Pro Plus Unlocker set Launcher Pro as default home and then menu key LP setting/account and your accounts choose sync times and then long press add widgets FB Twitter

Using Colorize too. It's brilliant.

Yes, but colorise widget (which i have previously used on sgs2) only has separate fb and twitter widgets. Launcher Pro plus has them both in a combined widget which is exactly like sense friendstream widget. It works perfectly too and has a semi-transparent skin.
Colorise works well too, but I just prefer having them combined as in LPP.

Miss friend stream :(

I can't seem to find anything that compares. Colorize widget was the closest I could find, but it doesn't work spd shell 3d. Any alternatives that will work without using a common launcher?

I feel your pain, I had sense withdrawls when I first switched, then they went away but lately they have been coming again. With all the issues I've had with sprint and the lack of support from samsung, I think I'm going back to htc soon.
Anyways, enough of my rant, the closest I have found is the "android pro widgets", and it's free! It comes as a pack with a friendstream style widget, bookmark, calendar and even people widgets.
I really don't get why touchwiz comes with 7 screens and practically no widgets. HTC makes the only phone I have ever been able to create a nice layout using all screens and not have wasted space.

I miss feeds and updates widget that was on the first epic. Don't know why it's gone on the S2. If it's bcuz of social hub they could at least had added a widget for it!

Thx, but unfortunately it doesn't scroll for me and that arrow down is flakey

If you're looking for 3rd party (truly) scrollable widgets for spb shell 3d you won't find any. The reason APW uses a scroll button is the lack of scrollable widget support in your used launcher.

I use APW on my view tablet with and it is awesome. Better than sense for sure. If you really want friendstream, switch to launcherpro plus instead of touchwiz. LPP is smooth as hell and the widgets are awesome.

Best Widgets

What widgets look great on the Nexus 7? Please share your finds here. Cheers!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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?

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)

So you extracted them from some leak or from an installed system? Who to credit if we wish to use those in ROM's? You? Someone you got the zip of?

I really miss the old Sense 4 calendar widget. Is this one also included in the Sense 5 Butterfly rom?

Yep got it working. I just needed to put the stocks in first then remove and replace the widget and it's all good now.

Navigate Widget
There is another widget from the Butterfly Leaked ROM to be added to the list.
It is the HTC Navigate widget, which is used in conjunction with the Laputa navigation pack (if your ROM has it included).
Screenshot and apk attached below.

Many many thanks guy!! It'what i was searching for!!

The Tasks widget doesn't work on stock HTC One, I get FC while adding it to the screen. Maybe we need the 4.2.2 OTA first?

Problems also with Energy ROM

I do not think it is related to stock ROM. My ONE is running Mike's Energy-ROM, and I am also facing problems with the Mail-Widget: although I have all my eMail-accounts properly set up, the widget does not list any of them when placing it on the homescreen. Instead, it insists on creating a new amail ccount. Unfortunately, this is not possible, because whenever I try to do this, the system tells me that this account already exists . Real pitty, because I was always in love with the Sense 4 mail & SMS widgets :crying:

I tried notes and mail,
When I put widgets it doesnt see my mail accounts or notes.
It asks for a new mail account.

[REQUEST] Blinkfeed Widget

Hi I don't know if it was asked before but I would really like to see a Blinkfeed Widget. I used the "Blinkfeed App" Mod a bit and thought it would be great if I could put Blinkfeed at a Page and look it up from there. I don't know how possible this is so please don't hate me... I'm no developer. It's just an idea I thought may be good

Hate to stomp on your idea but it's not gonna happen unless HTC makes it.
They haven't even figured out how to disable it, so making it a standalone widget would be much more difficult

With "they" he refers to the rom developers/chefs.
And indeed they Blinkfeed cannot be removed (YET)
Some devlopers are actually trying to remove it (I heard team venom had it partially removed)
Though none have been completely succesfull yet..
For now all we can do is wait.
There is however a way not to use the blinkfeed as your homescreen in every sense rom.. just pinch out and select any other screen you want as a homescreen, then pull it to the "" set as homescreen" text and release
This effectively makes the other scren your sense homescreen and makes your blinkfeed seem like a widget..

There is already a blinkfeed widget, it's stuck on the left page though.
