Played with it for a while. Looks like it doesn't work too well on Desire. Couldn't really figure out what I would use it for anyway haha.
Battery Monitor Widget and Process Monitor Widget
If you want to fine-tune your phone and get rid of bad behaving apps, those 2 are a must!
Process Monitor Widget is still in an early stage it seems, but can actually replace any ATK widgets and task managers altogether, can't wait for the recording feature that is still in dev!
battery monitor widget is actually the least-battery-draining battery-widget app I found on the market, after testing so many... this one brings you all the data you need as well!
I was wondering does anyone know of a facebook widget that is transparent or a way to make it transparent.
I've seen quite a few on here but they're all for MetaMorph and to my understanding morph wont work on a desire because it needs r/w access.
I attached an example of the facebook widget

That guy is so full of ****. He's on a date and loving it, yet he's updating his facebook instead of.. being with his date? Pssh.
That was a stealth bump btw, since I'd also like that.
eh? when did I ever mention that I update my status every second of every day all I want it for is because it looks nicer than the origonal widget.

That guy. You are not that guy (whose twitter feed is shown in the screenshot). I came to this conclusion based on the fact that you said that was for MetaMorph, and you are of the opinion that it does not work on Desires, and you have a desire.

Pure messenger has loads of themes available, I used to use a transparent one as I liked the style too. The only downside to Pure Messenger is that it doesn't scroll like the Sense one - you have to scroll up/down with arrow buttons on the widget.
I went for Pure messenger and it's awesome thanks.

I can't seem to get the Weatherbug or CNN widgets to stay visible. I put them on a screen and they work fine for awhile. Then they disappear. The widget is definitely still they since I can't put anything else in the place it occupies and I can grab it and drag it to the remove Icon. In fact, removing the widget and putting it back is the only way I have found to make them visible again (note: I did not try a reboot or power off since its actually easier and faster to just put them back).
The email widgets (I have one for gmail and one for regular email),calendar widget, bookmark widget and Beautiful Widget Home have worked perfectly.
Seem to only be effecting some of the widgets. Anyone else seeing disappearing widgets?

I have the same problem with the weatherbug widget. It is definitely still there - I can't put anything in its location and i can even long press and drag the invisible widget to the trash can.
any thoughts? Thanks!
I know the CNN widget depends on a network connection, when I'm offline it usually stops showing items. They just didn't code it to gracefully fail, it just shows an empty stack widget.

Yeah, I expect that to happen. I sometimes lose network connection at night (not great signal in my bedroom - which according to my wife is a good thing!). I can understand an empty stack widget, but my weatherbug widget completely disappears. You bring up a good point though, maybe I'll leave it in the living room tonight so it doesn't lose connection and see if the widget disappears. I hope they fix that before the wifi only model comes out.
@OP - do you sometimes lose network connection. Could your problem also be related?
I havn't had any problems with mine
Are you using the stock launcher? I know that on my phone in the past if the launcher runs into an issue this very same widget issue happened.
I have had the same issues with my Cnn widgets and the weather. I have found that if you go in to the actual application from the app drawer it will refresh the widgets. Although for CNN you have to go to each feed for whatever widget you have. ex. tech widget stack, you must go the tech feeds in the CNN app and it brings the stack widget back up. Needs a fix

I don't think that is the problem. It has been on WiFI the whole time (I have WiFi configured to never disconnect) and it's never been out of range of my router.

I'm pretty sure I tried that, but next time it happens I'll give that a shot.
And just to be clear; the widget is literally invisible (not just empty).
When a stack widget has no items it is invisible. It's likely that from time to time the widget update failed and left the empty widget.

Perhaps, but they never seem to recover. I've left them alone for hours and they never reappear. Since it only seems to happen to these two widgets I think the problem lies with the widget implementation (i.e. coding problems).
I'm hoping for an update and until I get one I'm not using the widgets.
It didn't happen for a while now, but it did last night. I lost both the CNN widget and the weatherbug widget and they never recovered. i purposely refreshed all data and nothing. it's a bit annoying as the only solution is to delete the widget (if you long press in the general area where the widget was, it still thinks it's there and I can drag it to trash).
I have tried switching to a static wallpaper. I will report back.

I've always been on a static wallpaper and I still get the issue. I'd be curious if it helps you.
Static wallpaper did not help
Having the same problem with the CNN widget. I'm running LauncherPro and I thought it was the problem but I guess not. It must be a coding issue or refresh issue.
For Weaterbug, switch off "Enable my location" if it is on, and switch it on if it is off. That restores the widget. You can then set it as you wish.
I also have this problem. Mainly with the Accuweather widget disappearing. I use a static background. Stock Kernal. Not sure why it does this but.... I am sure this will get worked out in the upcomming builds.
is there a way to open another app when you tap on the standard asus weather widget?
i tried using tasker but couldnt find a way, any other apps that can do this?
i want ironically to open the accuweather honeycomb app just by tapping on the asus weather widget
this would be great. tapping it to open the weeks forecast.
i stopped using the widget because i noticed that many times when id come back to my home page, the numbers (say 89 deg) was cut off. it was weird, but half og the numbers would end up "cut off" on the screen
I have the same problem, sometimes it's cut in half. But the weirdest thing is: Since the last update the temperature is wrong, about 10 C.
Just to chime in...
I also have the "cut in half" issue often. On top of that I don't get the temp updated on schedule. I set it to every hour and it will randomly update but not every hour. It may not be random, but I haven't spent enough time to determine the pattern.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 has such a widget, which opens the Accu Weather website, when being tapped on.
Search the market place, there's a free Accu Weather widget for Honeycomb with the same functionality, though the design isn't that nice looking for my taste.

It seems to be a bug in the widget, because the system logs say, the Accu Weather servers are unreachable. The widget of my SGS2 always reaches the same servers.

I used to have that, but since using ADW EX Launcher it's a thing of the past. It's almost as if the 'transparent' box which determines the size of the widget somehow becomes smaller so you can get the clean cut on the numbers.
With the ADW EX launcher, you can make the transparent box which controls the overall size of the widget a little bit bigger so you don't get the problem.

In my case the problem with the cut off numbers also didn't happen again ... don't know why. I don't use a different launcher, only a new keyboard. I use the Hackers Keyboard, because it has cursor keys, which come in handy, when answering forum posts

Download "The Weather Channel" app. You can place a widget on one of your screen, tap on the widget to open up the full weather app. I have the said app and works well. Just that the widget isn't as fancy as fancy as Asus' weather app.

Call me paranoid, but I would NEVER install a weather app, that needs the permission to send SMS and make phone calls. Ok, on the TF that's not a problem, but it makes me wonder, what info this app is trying to spy out ... read the details HERE.
I would stay away from this app.
I just updated to Oreo and noticed that now when I dismiss a Notification the badge from that app goes away too...
In the previous version this didn't happen, anyone knows how to avoid the badge from the app disappearing?
Thanks!

You can't stop it from happening unfortunately. Your other option is to install nova launcher and use tesla unread counter app, which is from the same guys.

I was also wondering if there is a workaround for this.
To be honest, this is the most stupid thing I've ever seen in a software update, now if you put the notifications to silent for - let's say- Facebook, you will never get the badges on on the app icon.
In Secure Folder, it is the same, which defeats the purpose of the secure folder (hiding notifications), so when I enter secure folder, now I have to check each app for conversations or messages or any other notifications they might have.
Samsung should provide the option to unlink "clearing notifications from the panel clears the badges", and also silencing and app notification doesn't prevent it from having badges.
Nova launcher, it works, but the tesla is inconsistent.

While this may be an "upgrade" to people with stock android, it's more of a downgrade to people who've already experienced the app badges before Oreo. The main reason I am/was a fan of app badges is so that my notifications can be turned off and I'll see I have notifications based on the app badge. I hope Samsung will at least add the possibility of choosing to show app badges for apps that are put to silent in a future update. Right now they just seem pretty pointless.

I totally agree with you, and t is the same reason why I am a fan of that.
Let's hope that Samsung can add an option to make it just like before.

I just think it's a backwards move and if they're so adamant of it at least give the option to allow unread badges even if notification is swiped away

I really dislike this change and am considering returning my Galaxy S9 because of it. There's a thread over on the Samsung forum about this as well if you want to subscribe to that one to keep track of this issue.
Galaxy-S9-Questions-and-Answers/Notification-badge-icon-not-working-on-Samsung-Galaxy-S9/m-p/288959#M52
I'm glad I found a forum on this issue...
This definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction. I liked that I would get new notifications in the top panel and if I swiped them away, the badge Icon would still show that I had an un-opened message. This was very useful because in situations where I was doing something and I couldn't check the new message right away, I would clear them because I still wanted to see if any other new notifications would come in after, the badge Icon would remind me to check later, if i forgot, when I had time to view or reply to that message.
This feature needs to be added back asap, it should be extremely simple for them to implement and it should be an option anyways for us to link or un-link the notification panel with the app badge icon.
Keep this forum going!
This is simply ridiculous! Gone from an almost perfect touchwiz to nova launcher ... i'm really upset.
For a lot of users Nova Launcher with Tesla Unread also has an issue with unread badges. Particularly with the Gmail app, but also with the native Samsung email app. See the recent reviews for the app on Google Play.
If you contact Tesla Coil (developers of Nova/TeslaUnread) they will send you an updated apk to side load. This didn't resolve the issue for me but YMMV.
But at least they are working on it. But i really liked the touchwiz look. Mainly the folders aspect not reproduced by nova.

While installing the updates they will show the small animation when you swipe the notifications the bagde will get clear.. before installing also in the changelog it is mentioned.
You should read the changelog first...
It is the way oreo notification's are implemented.. nothing samsung has done wrong here..

Thanks Mike. TU Ver 5.1.0 still not working for me. Have cleared caches, uninstalled/reinstalled (twice), etc. etc. Still have persistent unread badge stuck on Gmail app, even though I have read/deleted emails.
Turning badges off/back on in TU does clear unread badges temporarily, but problem re-occurs when new emails arrive.

Not sure if it applies to your problem but all the permissions have been set properly?
TU - Settings/Apps/Special Access/Notification Access - Allow
Then confirm permissions within TU settings for selected applications.
