Conky Like Widget for Android
I'd love to have this function, but it just won't work on my device. When I put the widget and go to select a config file, it won't open the file. It won't even open the example files provided by the dev. All I get is a gray widget inviting me to tap to reload, and tapping the widget accomplished nothing.
This looks reasonably powerful and useful, and I'm doing background reading now. But it needs a config file and does not ship with one. It expects you to write one, upload it to your device, and select it when you first run CLW. I emailed the developer suggesting a sample config file as a starting point so the user can see something when the widget is placed on a page would be a good idea. He stated he'll probably do that in the next release, but that won't happen for a bit. UPDATE: v3.0 has added example files for defining the widget. To use them, place the CLW widget on a page and tap it. It will show a Choose file dialog page. Select Use example file, then swipe left to pick the sample you want to use. Tap the name on the top bar to select which to use for the emplaced widget. The examples files are text files placed in /storage/emulated/0/CLW-examples. If you have a text editor installed, you can look at them and use them as a starting point for customizing. I added a star for providing example config files. See the CLW github page for documentation on what the files contain and what a CLW widget config file should look like.

Tried on Nexus 5p. Given it all the permissions. Created example configs however when you load one to create a widget it just displays a bunch of JAVA errors.
