Widget Selection in ICS - Xoom General

I am not a fan of the way ICS handles widgets. Having to scroll through the available widgets when you have a lot of apps is not convenient. Any marketplace apps or general tips for making widgets more useful? Thanks!

Honeycomb widgets for NC?

Does anyone know if the scrollable widgets that are on the xoom are available to download or are they for honeycomb only?

Here is a link to a thread with various zoom apps and widgets. The CNN scrollable widget is also included. I tried installing on my nook, but it has a problem parsing the package. However, I have read some where able to get it to work on their nook. Anyone want to give it a shot?

Sense based customizable (adw-launcher pro) launcher

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.

There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.
Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.
Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.
Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.
Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.

Stupid Question Alert

Ok, so how the heck do you add widgets to the Home Screen?
When I long press all I get is the wallpaper option.
Sorry, but thanks
Go to the app drawer.

From ICS onwards (no one cares about Honeycomb) widgets were moved to the applications tray/drawer. At the top you can switch between apps and widgets.

[Q] Organize apps in folders

I am looking a way to organize my apps into folders.
I do not like to have them all....arranged alphbetically.... I want to put the and organize them in folders.
I noticed that HTC's SENSE 5 has one more option (Alphabetical, Most Recent and CUSTOM). By choosing custom, you can arrange apps in folders.
Is there any way to add this option in NEXUS 4?
I do not like the idea of creating homescreens with folders. I want the homescreens free for the widgets.
Thank you
Do you mean folders in the app drawer?
In that case nova launcher can do it and maybe others
