HTC Widgets - Nexus One Themes and Apps

Hi,
My Nexus one arrived today (UK).
My mate has a Hero, and on his hero he has a set of widgets from HTC, e.g sense clock etc.. Just wondering if you can get them for the nexus one, ive seen a few imitations, but I would really like the real thing!

Real things require the Rosie framework, which is HTC specific. That's why the imitations exist.

Ok thanks for that, looks like its imitations for me then

Weather Widgets - Donate is even better.

Yeh thanks guys ive gone for beautiful widgets.

Just outta curiousity, how did WW-D get off with keeping the flip clock look when Beautiful Widgets had to change their design?

hi, i just wanna ask... if you look for weather widgets - donate in the search of the market will you really get an application with that name? i actually have been cracking my head trying to look for 'weather widgets - donate' and 'beautiful widgets'. thanks

Does that mean that we won't get sense on the n1 until htc releases sense on a compatible piece of hardware like the bravo? Or do we just need someone to rip it out of the hero?

We probably won't get sense until an Android 2.1 compatible version comes out. I suppose it might technically be possible to use the current 1.6 Sense (I don't know, I'm not a developer, so don't quote me on that) but why would you wanna go from 2.1 back to 1.6?
It won't be long, though. Bravo supposedly releases in March, and Hero 2.1 update is supposed to be approx. the same time.

There's a 2.1 based Hero rom floating around, and the Espresso rom, so it's potentially possible, but neither of them is especially good. Once the Bravo comes out, the similar hardware should make for a quick (and almost perfect) SenseUI port I'd think. Look at the 32A Magic/Hero - same hardware, eventually got an official SenseUI, and it works very well.
That said, unless Espresso/Sense2 added a lot of new features, I'm not entirely sure of the appeal beyond just Rosie. 2.0/2.1 added most of the best features of Sense to stock Android.

i have all the settings widgets if you want.

Do they work OK on Nexus? I'd be interested in those. I don't like the Power bar because it takes up 4 spaces - really only want to toggle Wifi and Internet - Plus the individual ones can be put on different screens Are they .apk ?

Sense 2.1 Full Screen Weather Lockscreen Addon

Can the full screen weather lockscreen from Sense 2.1 roms be extracted as an zip mod?
I'm running Freshs 1.1 and would like to add it.
There's a weather lockscreen? Where this hell is this at?! I'm running Eclair 2.1v2.
There is no weather lockscreen
Well I must have misunderstood the thread about the 2.1 roms. I thought it said when you turn the screen on it showed the full screen weather?
I was under the assumption that was a lockscreen.

Right, I think you're just looking for the HTC Weather/Clock app.
I would be intrested on this to. You can run nexus one weather widget on 1.5, I'm hoping its the same for the weather app on 2.1 it can be brought to 1.5
can you link to the weather widget that works on 1.5? i would LOVE to have that lol.

its not going to work because fresh 1.1 is 1.5 based and the weather app needs 2.1 framework, stop asking for 2.1 stuff for 1.5, DEVs have alot better things to work on then porting **** to 1.5 for peons, if you dont like it then learn to DEV and keep building on to a rom that will be obsolete in two weeks

Dude....most people here still use 1.5 based roms because they still have a camara. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with having requests. That is what this forum is all about.....its not about complaining about what people ask for.

All I can say is WOW.....
I know I was using the Nexus One Weather widget with Darschs 2.1 rom before the whole eris leak. But haven't heard anything about it working for 1.5 or not. A good weather widget though I would suggest is snowstorm its on the market and has additional icon packs available for it too.

[REQ] Panoramic Background for Leo

Are there any mods available? Is it even possible? I remember seeing it for Sense 2.1 but haven't found anything for the Leo.

Rebump. I can't seem to find one. I would really love to have this: Something like the google G1's background; It moves when you slide from tab to tab.
SPB mobile shell does this. But its a paid app. Try throttle launcher, that has it to (check windows mobiel deveopment themes and apps forum). I havent come across a mod for sense that does it.
I remember this for a few versions of Sense/ Manila/ TF3D ago. I wanna say it was TF3D 2.0 or something around there. I am not sure if those mods will work or are compatible with the newer versions of Sense 2.5
You could try that one:

Didn't try it myself though ..
I´m interested too !
But i wanne use it with Co0kie´s Home Tab and without this strange long big Tabicon from rotastrain.
I am using maxManilla 2.5 and it has one automatically installed with it...idk..I was looking for some more though...

Fancy widget was malicious!

After updating fancy widget for the last time my launchers began to become unstable and as of now sense UI forecloses every time I attempt to open it.

Check what else you put in there besides fancy widget, version 1. 30 is working great for me on spica i5700 running 2.1 with launcher pro and judging by comments no one so far is experiencing what you are reporting.

What's wrong with Sense?
Isnt Fancy widget similair (about the same) compared with HTC's Sense clock widget? Makes me think why you would like to have Fancy widget while you have Sense
LauncherPro + Fancy Widget works like a charm on my Nexus

Yeah, doesn't make sense at all Seriously, yeah, I'd just use the HTC Clock widget.
I still like the whatever-the-app-is when you touch the weather in the Sense Clock widget.. World weather, time, stopwatch, etc all in one place. Played with it in XDAndroid a bit, but using a stock Nexus One and have separate apps for such things now.
You do realise the HTC Clock Widget can only be used on Sense UI, right?

Im sure its more likely a combination of your apps/kernel/rom/recovery image not playing nicely together. you need to locate the issue rather than insulting a dev that tries to provide ppls with no sense, the ability to experience one of its most popular, well-known widgets...im not surprised you got flamed for this one.

stock apps

i am looking for the sprint stock apps and the htc stock ones as well... i updated my rom and would like to get some stuff back such as the clock widget on a stock rom, etc etc....
thanks in advance
The clock widget was a Sense widget. If your new ROM isn't a sense rom, you can't use the stock clock widget. There are quite a few replacement widgets in the market though.
Search around on the development forums. Devs like to strip out those apps but provide flashable zips for those who want them. Limit your search to the Sense roms.

need more info.. for starters, what rom are u using?
If you are using a non-Sense based ROM (i.e. CM) none of the widgets will work as they all need the Sense framework to run.
The Sprint apps will run however, and as was stated, take a look in the Development forums, they are all there.
thank u all for ure replys! yea im using cyanogenmod 7 and ill look around in those forums.... also, i understand that they need the framework for it to work, but those zip files stated on top... would they not contain those files? im new to android, i come from windows mobile... so sorry for the noobish questions
EDIT: where can i find a good stable gingerbread rom with sense, i searched but cant find any.... (used google, not the forums search)

You won't find a Gingerbread ROM with Sense...you can theme it to look like Sense, but it will not be Sense.
As for the Sense framework, no, the zips that have the apps will not have the Sense framework...totally different beast
got it... well, what are some good free widgets that have a clock and weather intergrated? thats mostly what i need...

Fancy Widget free is what I was using before upgrading to Fancy Widget Pro.
The Pro version gives the option to use a very Sense-like flip clock and weather animations similar to what you would see in Sense.

ha, no reason for this reply, just had to give you the 100th thanks!
If you are looking for a more minimal look on your clock and weather widget, I suggest simiclock. Free in. the market, though you can't go wrong with buying beautiful widgets.

I actually have a few (Minimalistic Text, Beautiful Widgets, SimiClock, FancyWidgets and Miui) that I switch between or combo up...I'm a tool I like the weather forecast options of FancyWidgets, the clock look of Miui, battery stats of Minimalistic Text...I'm never satisfied Wish I could learn to make my own app to make it how I want it...I have tried and always just revert back recognizing the fact that I can theme, but not dev.
better! i love the fancywidgets... made my rom look better!

And if you've got the spare change, Beautiful Widgets is another step up from FW. It's weather animations are much better and it has a million different sense themes and more homescreen widgets.
I can't find my city in Miui Weather, or any city near me. I'll have to do a little research on it later when I get home, it really is gorgeous...

[Q] anyone know if there is a way to put sense 3 or 3.5 on the samsung roms?

3. Tape to phone
4. ?????
5. Profit!

well do you just want the launcher and widgets or the whole set of menus dialer and more?
you can use 3rd party apps like go contacts and launcher pro and go weather or beautiful widgets or fancy widget and replace the lock screen with a market ap but to port the ui takes work both ui's have some kernel integration and the phones use completely different hardware so it takes a lot of work from experienced developers and none here have any interest in that. best i can tell you is to buy a sensation or it's canadia equivelant if you are not satisfied with market app.
though i do like mikeys suggestion.
I prefer Mikey's suggestion, agree with Dani's and suggest you look at how the proposed Sense port went for the original sgs and then come back......
I used Sense with Cookie's improvments. The GO Launcher and ALL of its addons are actually far superior - then add 2 quicklauncher - and this phone DESTROYS sense. Just a bit more work to get all assembled - but its all there and WAY MORE.

Getting TRUE sense UI on samsung based rom is (impossible??). Porting them is a lot harder then anyone might think.
sense is very heavy. i remember even 2 years ago on windows mobile phones it consisted of thousands of files. and it seems to only have gotten more bloated. its definitely not impossible, but its so intertwined with the framework, it would take alot of work. htc is not going to make it easy.

yeah I didn't know.. I know they port all the time from htc to htc so didnt know how it was from htc to another model or another model to htc.. the sense 3.5 for my inspire was great but the phone button broke, so i got the samsung infuse until the next htc came out.. I do however like some of the feedback i got and with a few free apps from the market ive got it dialed in with the htc looks without the battery cpu and mem hog.. may just get the galaxy 2 and mod it the same way and see if i can hold off on the htc.. but i hear the htc holiday aka raider is going to be amazing
