[Moved fom http : // forum . xda-developers . com / showthread.php?p=9261880]

Hi everyone,

I'm very new at this site and not sure if it is the right place post the thread but anyway.

A friend of mine and I are especially interested in cooking Cookie Home Tab widgets. We are located in Russia and primary doing iPhone development but I have some win mo relevant experience.

We got a few things working like google search and notes.
As for now it is buggy and design is ugly=)

We'll continue our work and finally I hope will release a widgets pack.

I'd like to get some help :

1. Please vote for widgets that you like most of all
You can post Android or Yahoo widgets links for reference

2. We are looking for a designer who can make it all look better and work on skin packs

I will put it all together at my site next week.
Please let me know your thoughts
I would appreciate any feedback

"I really would like to have a widget for the alarm clock. Even a shotcut would be handy. For further improvments, it could show if the alarm is active and remaining time until the alarm."

As I can see Alarm link is available in Appointment Widget.

"Is it possible to make a Photo widget and Calender widget? Emails and messages have been able to be ported across, is it possible to bring the Sense flip photos and calander across???"

Our first priority would be new functionality but not the port of existing one.

I like the idea. Will take a look from implementation perspective.

It would be great if you can workout some screen shots for "Alarm","Search" and "Quick Notes" in "windroid" look and feel.

If you need any help with skins for the widgets then I'd be happy to help.....

Yes but it is a very small button and it comes with digital clock which is unnecessary. Also it is hard to tell if the alarm is on or off by looking that button.

Right now the widgets that are in progress do not have any skin at all.
It is just an input box for search and white area for notes.

I'd like to get some ideas for design.
It should be simple, intuitive and follow general manila look and feel.
I would appreciate any art works for now.
We can make a simple voting and choose the most popular to apply.

However I'd like to provide several skins and layouts for each widget in future.

I hope we would get some visual presentation for the alarm widget.
Please feel free to post any suggestions.

The implementation looks pretty simple if we gonna use standard alarm to grep some data. I will take a look and get back to you soon.

Any chance of getting a hold of the basic image files you have? just to get a feel for the dimensions and what goes where??

I see the soccer ball and have to wonder if this will include other sports like american football

a notes widget.

I think it'd be awesome to have notes displayed in a similar effort to that of the sms widget but maybe in yellow like post its

Agree. I think I saw exactly the same notes widget for Evo.

Well. I know how to use services for soccer.
If you can suggest some resources(web services to get the latest result) for NBA, NHL and AFL it would be great
