What are your favorite Android widgets?

[GoodEnough]

Not shortcuts. Widgets.
I just installed the Weather widget, and like the temp. always showing.

What weather widget? There are a bajillion of them.

I use Weather Timeline's widget's, for example. It's the only widget I use. I would use a calendar one, but meh. In a perfect world, I'd have enough time to learn KLWP and I'd probably end up using a few more.

I use ForecastWidgets. Small and simple...

I also use widgets to control vanilla music, and vlc. The only other widget I have is Android'sFortune. That displays unix fortune cookies. Dunno where to get it. I've had it for years, and loaded it from my computer.

I stopped using widgets after a while. I like to keep my home screen as clean as possible, so that means I have my 4 most important apps in the dock, and the rest of the screen is empty, which allows my background to actually be visible. I rely on gesture shortcuts to get to other commonly needed tasks. Each of the 4 apps in my dock can be swiped on to do something else or open another app. And then I can utilize double tap, swipe up, and two finger swipe up/down to do even more stuff.

Nova Launcher is the best. :thumbsup:

Regarding weather widgets, Google Now made them all obsolete IMHO.

I agree 100%, except I like a clock widget on my homescreen.

Google+ user location widget. Fantastic for checking real time location of family and friends.

Just put the calendar widget on. Also messaging and email previews.
