I have seen countless threads about everybodies favorite apps but i don't think i have come across one listing their favorite widgets.

here are my top 5:

-a tie between weather widget donate and beautiful widgets (each one has somthing that stands out and makes it worth using)
-weather bug (even though the widgets above tell you the same thing for current day, it just easier to click it and find out the forecast for the week or even just hourly)
-laik agenda (a good reminder of whatever you have listed in the google callender)
-advanced task manager (makes it easier to kill running tasks if i feel my phone is a little bit laggy)
-pure grid calender (a great calender app to see events as a whole calender. though i have uninstalled it due to running out of space)


on a side note though, does anybody know of a good alternative widget to replace the stock power control widget. i was using the widgets that came with beautiful widgets but i uninstalled it for the time being because i am using weather widget donate currently. i want something a little bit more visually appealing than the stock one.
 
I use the battery widget from mippin.com which allows you to adjust Display, GPS, WiFi and BlueTooth.
 
1. Facebook

2. NFL Mobile

3.Pure Calendar

4. (GPS,WI-FI,Bluetooth)On-Off switches

5. Google Maps
 
Battery Widget from mippin
Airplane mode, wait, is that an app?
Weather Eye, hands down the best for me.
 
Beautiful Widgets

More Icon Widgets

Pure Calender

BatteryLife

Sportstap

I also enjoy the texts from last night app which has a widget and use the wifi, vibrate and silent toggle widgets from More Icon Widgets and the Bluetooth toggle of Beautiful Widgets
 
ok now i have found a decent set of switches for wifi b/t silence and brightness settings. curve fish has a decent set and they are free with the option to donate. i definitely think these are more appealing then alot of the other alternatives out there. im still on the look for better but these will do good for the time being. i wish they had a vibrate switch as well but they don't.

I see many of you posting Pure Calendar. The app looks very nice, much nicer than stock HTC Cal, but is it compatible also with Outlook?
