No not weird at all. I'm the same way. At last some one that understands. I've been using Beautiful Widgets very similar. Not the clock and weather toggle. I bought that and it wasn't quite up to par. No raindrops on the glass or clouds and thunder. Beautiful Widgets was worth the money though. I was going to check this Digital Clock out too. Just haven't yet. If you try it let me know how you like it.

The sense widgets REQUIRE sense framework and the rosie launcher.
There was an app that was pulled from the market called 'Fancy Widget'. All I will say is that it was pulled via C&D by HTC themselves for being 'too similar' to the proprietary clock widget you are looking for.
"Fancy Widget" Google is your friend.

Yeah Fancy Widget is the one run by the Weather and Toggle app you have to buy to make it run. Not really what the sense clock is like. I liked the Beautiful Widgets way better. You can play with different skins till you find one that suits you and the Boca weather skin is just like the sense weather.

Actually. That is not correct. Fancy Widget is different and you can Google it. I use it because you can set if to update more frequently. If the stock app updated every 30 minutes like you can set Fancy Widget to do I would still be using it...

what about other HTC widgets? I would love to use LauncherPro but I have to have the HTC Photo Album widget to show off my new baby girl. I know there are other photo widgets and I have tried almost all of them but none can compare to the HTC. Please help I am sick of using the rest of Sense....

Every HTC specific widget cannot be run on any Launcher except Rosie and cannot be ported without making an exact replica with the same images like Fancy Widget. People need to realize this and stop asking.

There is a separate Widget named Fancy Widget, it was pulled from the Market, because... IT IS EXACTLY the same as HTC clock, they literally copied the images. It is wonderful, a little more flexible, and can be setup to check more often, and launch whichever clock and weather app you choose when you touch.... Only thing it does not do is animations. Google "Fancy Widget apk" and really look as stated prior if you want the HTC clock...
If you want something attractive, slightly different, and still free check out
Weather Widgets (yr.no) http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ermesjo.yr I switch between this and Fancy Widget based on how I am feeling lol
As for anyone missing other HTC widgets... support Launcher Pro and purchase Launcher Pro Plus, the widgets are very comparable... and the guy has written a wonderful piece of software... so pay the 2.99!!

I just downloaded Fancy Widget 1.3 and it is basically the same exact thing as the HTC Sense Clock widget but it allows you to configure what application it launches when you hit the weather icon, date or time. I just installed it and haven't seen if it does the weather animations but I could care less about that.

[Q] Sense 3.0 3D Effect

Hi!
Is there a way to disable 3D Barrel effect when changing homescreens in Sense 3.0 ? Other launchers works much smoother and faster but there is lack of HTC widgets...

Just go with another launcher. For each HTC widget, there's always a much better alternative/equivalent in the Market. Plus, you get the advantage of a much more configurable, smoother launcher with better transition effects, transparency, skins, etc, etc.

Thanks. I would go for Launcher Pro, because its widgets are similar to HTC's (f.e. big, slightly transparent Agenda), but there is no good HTC clock widget. I found in the Market app named LP Sense Skin + Clock Widget, but this clock is not optimized for qHD
Another thing that annoys me is the HTC dock in the lockscreen and another android dock in Launcher Pro in homescreen. Is there a way to change lockscreen in Sense 3.0?
I wish there was an option to turn these animations off...

Well I guess LauncherPro is the exception in that it comes with its own widgets. Most home screen replacements are just the launcher, and you use your own widgets.
If it helps, here are some equivalents:
HTC Clock > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Weather > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Toggle Widgets > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Agenda > Android Agenda Widget
HTC Calendar View > Pure Calendar Widget
HTC FriendStream > Tweetdeck
I actually quite like still having the HTC lockscreen with its four shortcuts, and then a different set of shortcuts in ADWLauncher.EX.
As you're discovering right now, Sense 3.0 isn't very configurable at all.

I want both lol. LauncherPro Plus and Sense 3.0. LPP for the configurability and just general awesomeness, but Sense 3.0 for the app drawer and dock that LPP can't have

Can we use Sense 2.1 Launcher to disable that 3D effect?
I don't have Sensation right now. Can anyone try that with a dumb sense launcher.apk from Incredible S etc.?

I can't stand the bloody carousel effect when unlocking the device either. Just a time waste!
I seriously don't get it why htc wouldn't want let us get rid of this absurd effect!!!
For the rest, I'd rather not change for another launcher, I quite like the widgets and such. But wish htc would read us and provide a more configurable update some time later.

Yeah, widgets. Thats why I asked the question above. I hope someone may try.

I went for LauncherPro. It is very configurable (number of columns, rows etc), much faster and smoother than Sense and has very similar widgets to HTC's (Friends, Calendar, Bookmarks).
For HTC like weather clock I went for Beautiful Widgets and its SuperClock.

Yes you can configure which screen and widgets to use on the lock screen.
Select Personalize, Lock screen, and you can select a number of screens and change the widgets to others. There are lock screen for wallpaper, weather (I like), photos, etc. On the clock one, you can press Settings and select one of the alternative clocks.
Very cool

OMFG. Here, i am looking for a launcher(tell me if you know one) or ROM that replicates the effect on my desire s, and you guys want to remove it??

The carousel unlock effect is truly annoying.
On the Nexus One I had the nice CRT TV screen-off effect which is good, because its an effect/waste of time AFTER you've done working with your phone and want to lock it. This is the time for graphic flourishes.
HTC instead do a nice effect when I unlock the phone, that is when I want to use the phone immediately, but I get a little waste of time effect instead.
In summary - do the fun graphic stuff when I want to lock (done using the phone, wouldn't mind seeing something cool), as opposed to doing fun graphic stuff when i unlock (when I want to use the phone immediately and really don't want to see any superficial flourishes!).

Is there a clock widget that looks EXACTLY the same as the Sense one? Old version of Fancy Widgets was, but they changed it. So is it possible to just download the old version (apk) and install it?

weather & toggle widget.. download that
download h7c clock within the app
best htc clock out there imo

+1 but the weather animations can be a bit annoying seeing as they occur whenever the phone is unlocked, to any screen, for any reason.I used to use this on my MT3G Slide and I was pretty satisfied with it, though nothing really compares to sense IMO.

There is NO widget I can find to replace the htc gallery widget! It's very annoying

Just change "show all animations" to "show some animations" in Menu->Settings->Display. That will take care of that.

I have fancy widgets pro APK and I put it on SD card and installed, but it force closes. I think it is not compatable with the QHD screen.

*NEW* Sony Ericsson Launcher 2.0.A.0.22

Did a quick search seems like no one have made a thread on this.
Attached is what is believed to be, the new SE launcher to come with the 2.3.4 update for the 2011 range Xperia handsets,
which is now also working on X10 with the 2.3.3 update
the new launcher feels smoother, with ability to uninstall apps from app drawer and theme functions (however no themes are provided by SE at this stage)
*EDIT - the power control widget is SwitchPro widget, clock widget is SimiClock. both available from Market.

Try it
I can confirm even with stock rom only, X10 feels as smooth as Arc, just install it over the existing launcher. all your widgets and desktop config will be kept.

I am gonna try this...!!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Lol. Tried it on LG O1. Works nicely.. only problems in app drawer.. the arrow icon in the lower left corner gives a FC...
Edit:
Cant add widgets or anything... guess u cant use it on other devices after all
Edit:
Flashed CM7 and it works nicely on it. Wish there were some options in the app drawer tho. The horizontal app drawer isn't very awesome.

supercool... thanks....

It's a lot smoother and faster....nice find

it looks cool;i will try it too.

when you pinch all the icons float around too, pretty cool

is it faster slower or any more fuction ?
any info please ???

It's quite a lot faster and smoother.
The option of hiding apps in the drawer is there too (but only for installed apps and not system apps).
A nice update.

Nice found man!!

The launcher is very smooth, thanksfor uploading!

Its pretty cool but useless lol. I bet SE spent more time on making stuff like this than delivering our GB update...typical

also discovered that when you shake the phone after you pinch zoomed your widgets and stuff they shake around too

Hey, just a quick question. What's the difference between the 2.3.4 launcher and the 2.3.3 launcher? As you mentioned, the power toggle and clock aren't SE widgets.
The pinch overview mode comes with the 2.3.3 update.

ICS lockscreen with call/message/camera options

Im running ARHD 6.0.3 XE and I've been looking for a ICS lockscreen with a message/call/camera/unlock option instead of just the camera/unlock option. I have seen that type of lockscreen and can get it using GO Launcher EX (with GO Locker plugin) BUT the issue is that I hate that launcher due to the widgets for it don't work for some reason so I stick to sense 3.5 I just want to change the lockscreen but not the actual launcher. I would like to keep sense 3.5. I've been looking into WidgetLocker with the ICS theme but i cant find a pic of the lockscreen and I dont want to pay for the program to find out that the ICS theme lockscreen for it only contains the camera/unlock options rather than the camera/message/call/unlock options. I attached a pic of what im looking for, its a pic from Go Launcher ICS Locker plugin. I have searched all over the web and xda and only found apps that only contain the camera/unlock option. Is it possible to use the lockscreen without using Go Launcher? (Im a noob, sorry). thanks so much in advance!

I have never had any lag from Widget Locker. I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied with the results.

Go into advanced settings in Widget Locker and disable stock lockscreen and the issue with standard lockscreen popping up is gone.

Hi,
Do you mean lockscreen or homescreen?
Look in the market for "wp clock design live wallpaper"

Yes I meant lockscreen.
Will look for the wp clock design
Thank you

If its lock screen it would be harder, but depending on the ROM you can find various designs closest to the one you're looking for.

Ya lockscreen for sure, been looking through the forum and the playstore for hours and still nothing.
I'm on ViperS ROM

It looks to me a homescreen. If so it is minimalistic text
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2

Yep I can find homescreen like that but not lockscreen

Maybe Widgetlocker will do the trick. It replaces your lockscreen, and allows you to add widgets to it.

Thanks ridder215215,
Looks like that is going to be as close as I can get so far. Widgetlocker has security issues.

hy Pamela,
install this rom if you stuck on bootloop read this
after install open settings > lockscreen

ripkid666,
That ROM has looked interesting for awhile. At this time I need more stability as a daily driver.
I really dont want to switch ROMS just for the lockscreen.
Thanks

Hello All,
Just checking in for possible developments

I have found some success with this setup:
1. Install Widgetlocker
2. Install TypoClock
Use the TypoClock as a widget on the Widgetlocker screen
