Your Favourite Widgets?

LukeS_

Just thought I'd see what everybody's favourite widgets are. Also for people like me who have 3 blank homescreens that want filling with good widgets. One of my favourites is 'clockr'. Really simplistic but I think it's nice. Also SwitchPro is also good and the customizatiom with it.

So, what are your favourite widgets?

On my phone at the moment.

Widgetsoid - Like power control but more customisable and free.
Astrid Tasks
Smooth Calendar - Shows the next three items from your calendar.
3G Watcher - Quick view of your 3G data usage.
Weather Forecast - Can create a unique widget for each city so you can see at a glance the weather in different citys.
Beautiful Widgets - Clock & weather. Like HTC Sense but I'm using Launcher Pro. Not free though.

Ample Free ...?

On my WidgetLocker lockscreen I've got:
SMS Unread Count - has 3 widgets for texts, calls and gmail
3/cubed music player widget
TypoClock - Nice looking clock and date widget
Circle battery Widget - simple battery % widget which is customizable

On my homescreen:
Weather forcast widget - has different skins and a fair amount of customization
TypoClock - as above ^^
SwitchPro - obviously!
LauncherPro Plus widgets
Also use Desktop Visualizer to create custom widgets which act as icons

Got my Hero back after it was warranty repaired.

So I'm back on 2.1.update1, Stock ROM.

-3: Blank
-2: Full screen weather widget
-1: Stock Mail Widget
0: Clock with location and weather, stock clock, Gmail shortcut, Mail Shortcut, (Different accounts. I like it that way) Cabbage shortcut, Handcent Shortcut, Camera shortcut, Stock Browser shortcut, Out of Milk Shortcut, Battery widget.
+1: Winamp Widget 4x1, Tweetdeck 4x1 Bar, Tweetdeck 4x1 Post, Android Power Control.
+2: People Favourites, Fullscreen
+3: Blank

I use 0 and +1 the most.

I had a news widget that I used a LOT before I had to go back to stock, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Picked up World news, Irish news, Entertainment, IT, Sports, and some others. I'd love to get it back.

I'll get around to rooting again, when I get my new phone, and have the Hero for messing with.
