After much searching on the internet, I believe I have found a solution for our force close when adding widgets. This is the link that allowed me to fix my issue: Fix_Permissions - Android Forums If needed get the terminal emulator app from the Market. Once I followed the instructions, I was able to add a wifi on/off and brightness setting widget in LANDSCAPE setting firt. The two widgets remained when I moved to portrait mode. Hope this helps.

Not rooted but ya got me thinking... Yep - go to landscape (either direction) and widgets can be added.
