After some searching, it didn't seem there was a thread simply discussing great homescreen widgets. I'll be getting my first Android tablet tomorrow, so I'd love to hear what widgets you've found the most useful on the G Tablet. What can't you live without?
Launcher Pro widgets are awesome, very similar to HTC Sense widgets.

Did you buy the full version? Hows the calendar widget. I have yet to find a better calendar widget that works for me like the HTC Sense calendar widget.
Can you post a pic of the largest caledar widget Launcher Pro has?
Thanks,
Scott

You do have to buy launcher pro to get widget access but its cheep and worth it. Launcher pro has 3 or 4 sizes to chose from. If you plan on rooting the Vegan 5.1 rom has a calander widget that is full screen and works amazing.

If you setup LP 8 columns x 5 rows the Widgets fill about half the screen. The calendar widget is very nice, it's not an exact clone of the sense version but pretty close. Gotta pay to unlock the use of the widgets.

Jorte is a great calendar program, with a superb tablet widget. Sync to Google calendar and the widget can display a full month, with daily detail(!), not just icons. I love it.
I just grabbed the full version of Launcher Pro Plus. Very worth it! The transitions (cube, rotate, flip and shrink) are very cool.

vegan has a calendar widget? I don't see it in the widget list...
News
I can't seem to find a good news widget that is in column format and updates about 8 news items on my screen at once. News and Weather and GoodNews aren't working for me. Does anyone use one that they like?
And to avoid hijacking the thread, the main widgets I use are:
~LauncherPro Calendar
~TweetDeck (though the default Twitter and Facebook widgets are not bad)
~Sense Analog Clock Dark
~ScoreMobile
~Bookmarks
I use the launcher pro Widgets and typoclock permanently on the screen. If I'm listening to music I put the mixzing widget on the screen.
I'm going to check out jorte now though.
I tried Jorte (which I use and love on my phone) on the g-Tab, but the text was all fuzzy... I suppose I need to play around with the settings a bit. Anyone have settings that work well..?

Pulse is great. It's not a Widget but does a good job at what you are looking for.

Give Pulse a try. You can Add/remove different news sources and have many of them at once on your screen.
Does anyone have any modified skins for Palmary Weather Pro (weather icons mainly)? If not I may make it the first thing I try to theme for Android
I have not seen any skins for Palmary Weather Pro, I was wondering the same thing the other day...
I bought brand new tab pro 8.4 and I just noticed that there is no splanner widget at widget section. However when I checked system folder I saw that there is splanner_widget.apk and its odex file. I use this widget a lot and any solution to get this widget back? Thanks for ur help..
edit: sorry guys I have just found that it can be activated at magazine ux.
Hi all,
I'm using KWGT and have noticed that if use any weather font (ie climacons) the weather icon does not show.
I have this issue on both my P20 Pro and Mate 10 Pro but my Pixel C tablet has o issues.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and widgets but get same issue.
Anyone got any ideas
Update: resolved it seems you have to keep default font on Huawei devices for it to work
Thanks it works for me

If you open a contact and then go to the menu you can add the shortcut to the homescreen.
