Your post convinced me to buy Beautiful Widgets and get the Agenda widget. Love it!

I should point out that the extra row beneath the agenda with the settings icon is removable, but they recommend not removing it until you're finished tweaking, which I'm not. Yet. I don't think. Maybe...

That is exactly what I was going for...any chance that will work with Touchdown...I don't use the stock calendar or email anymore because it was missing too many Exchange features.

wavesecure ($19.90 a year): https://www.wavesecure.com/
or
lookout (free): https://www.mylookout.com

incase you lose your phone.

Gotta give another shout out to Juice Defender. It really does improve your battery life. Considering the fact that there are no less then 5 different threads on PPCG about battery life on the Epic, this should be a very popular download.

IT WORKS!!!

Is there any way you can post which developer each is from? I am searching them and more than one comes up. I would just like to know which ones exactly you are recommending? Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Which "Beautiful Widget" do I need to install to get clock, weather, calendar? There are so many.

Also, I tried this free clock but it kept crashing. Blue Dark Digital clock or something - think it was meant for Sense UI. I uninstalled it.

Now I notice I have a clock app running. Is there a way to manually edit startup files as root. Similar to a windows startup folders?

Beautiful Widgets by LevelUp Studio. It's on the top paid apps list.

Anybody know of a good news widget? My girl used to have one on her Evo that filled the whole screen and you could just scroll down through all the articles and click on the one you want to expand...

Did a search with no luck....

anyone know of a good speed dialer widget? Not a big fan of the "buddies now" widget. Would prefer one like the one on the TP2. Thanks in advance
