Everything described in the text, I'm looking for a similar widget tool, I heard about moss but his app isn't available anymore unfortunately.

Just search for conky in Playstore or Google. KWGT is a good widget engine where you're able to create your own widgets, maybe there are similar widgets like Conky - if you mean Conky for Linux.

I'm looking for an app icon widget for Sense that has the following properties....I have tried what feels like dozens but there are so many I simply can't try them all.
Ability to hide specific apps that I don't want displayed (so, a blacklist not a whitelist)
No text labels
Ability to be clear or at least mostly clear (see the wallpaper behind it)
Scrollable!
Preferred 5 column grid but not absolutely necessary
The closest I've found is the Folder organizer widget, but it doesn't seem to refresh the apps list ever so anytime I add a new app I have to recreate the widget again. Also, the scrollable function only works in third party launchers (not Sense). I have tried Launcher Pro and ADW but not a huge fan.

You have to remember that sense is closed source, so it can only do so much. Most widgets that I've found have extra functions for 3rd party launchers such as the ones you've listed.
If you want to hid or get rid of apps, the only way to do that is to hack-uninstall the apps (from what I've been reading around here). Not sure about being "clear", could you be more clear with that? I'm guessing you want transparent widgets?
You can use Desktop Visualizer to help you with your hidden text labels. I use that in combination with folder organizer and launcher pro. Launcher Pro is pretty well designed IMO. It does what sense does, plus more and there's a lot of widgets that seem to support it. You should take a look at the Launcher Pro screenshots created here, there's a lot of excellent customization that I believe will meet your demand. It's possible that you haven't found the look you want that will be efficient for you.

Thanks for your thoughts. Does LauncherPro have scrollable email and agenda widgets like Sense? (I know it has messenger although I don't love the implementation...)
Hi
I quite like the facebook and twitter widgets for launcher pro however go launcher seems more customisable but i dont want to lose those widgets so can anyone think of a good replacement for the widgets?
Sent from my SGS II using my thumbs
Colorize Widget is the closest one I have found.
Free too
You might want to try this. It's Kamma's Status Updater and should fit your needs perfectly.
Or if you don't fancy that then you could pick up Pure Messenger widget and configure it to just show your twitter and facebook updates (although personally I find it a little bit sluggish for scrolling).
Any idea how to fix it? Ive tried removing and replacing the widget. Not sure what else i can do.
Which weather widget are you referring to? I tried the accuweather (i think that's what comes with the phone), but wasn't what I wanted.
Anyways, you may also want to consider other weather widgets on market. I found 3D Digital weather clock and also Android Weather on market and found I like the Android Weather better - it offers transparency, shows location, date/day, time and current temp and weather condition.

Yup, I do mean the stock one. I tried uploading a picture of it thru the xda app, but it keeps hanging. Thanks for the tip, I'll try Android Weather.
Update: the ota update for 2.3.6 fixed the issue.
Is there any way to remove the date from the digital clock? I have the stock weather widget running in the top right corner, which also shows the date, so it's redundant to also have it displayed in the clock, which is right below it.
Barring that, is there a recommended digital clock widget that has the same stock font, can be sized to the 4 x 2 of the stock clock, and had the option to display no date?
There are a ton of available clock and weather apps in the Play Store that have wigets, usually with more customization options than the stock Android versions. If you do a little trial and error testing it shouldn't take you long to find what you are looking for. You can also look for general widget apps like Beautiful Widgets which usually include clock and weather widgets because they tend to be the most popular.

This might get you started but if you don't find something to your liking there are a ton more in the Play Store. It shouldn't be hard at all to find either a digital clock widget or a weather widget that doesn't also display the date. There are also a lot of clock widgets that actually display the weather as well, so if you liked something like that you could use one widget instead of two and save yourself a little battery. I used to use one like that called Fancy Widgets but it didn't have as many customization options as some other widget apps.

Thanks for the advice. I did try several digital clock widgets, but every single one included a non-removable date. The HD Widgets in your link looks like it has what I need in it though, so I'll try that one out.
Thanks again!
Hello,
with LineageOS 17.1 there is no weather and calendar widget any more.
For the weather widget I found some possible alternatives. But is there an alternative for the calendar widget instead of installing an additonal calendar app?
And if not, is there any open source calendar app inclduing a widget you can suggest? Currently I have installed simple calendar via F-Droid. It's okay, but very different to a real "simple" calendar widget. :cyclops:
Thanks everyone!

No cLock widget. The original developer is dvtonder.com having chronus on play store
Thanks, but the calender widget from chronus is not open source anymore and you have to use google play store. I'm searching for a very very simple basic calendar widget as in LineageOS versions < 17.1.
Perhaps it's too simple
€: best one I could found is "ToDo Agenda" on F-Droid. Configuration can be done very good, so everyone looking for a successor for the calendar widget, take a try: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.andstatus.todoagenda/
Hi, I found the "Another Widget" app (available in Google Play Store).
As I seen this can be found on github.
