Hello. I've recently flashed cyanogen mod and i was interested on widgets similer to the HTC Stock, as calender, Watch , Weather. Could you please give some suggestions? I'm tired of looking to this apps i dont find anything interesting. :\ I've installed the launcher 0.3 as many suggested, its a great app.
Thank you.
apparently 'beautiful widgets' is a must have app...
not interested in it myself. i like the simple look, without extra consumption of resources.
Beautiful Widgets for the clock/weather. also weather widget donate. that one is a pure sense copy but can be buggy. beautiful widgets it a little off the style but works without fail.
For just the weather, i've never found any widget that is up to par with the sense ui one. there are some that are close, but nothing as good.
Pure Calender widget is the best one for the sense calender
as far as stocks, not sure if theres any widget for that. though there might be.

I was wondering has anyone figured out how to place sence widgets on to the android home or any other home alternatives? This might be an old request but I can’t figure out if this is even capable.
try these...
beautiful widgets and pure widgets will get you.....
So far I have pure widgets and beautiful widgets, but I like the sense widgets more. And pure widgets only allows one messenger widget when I’m looking for an email widget and an sms widget

I really doubt it will ever work since they use parts of the sense frame work to run. So you like 3 screens instead of 7 covered with stuff? I never understood why people don't like sense. I looked at several other android phones before I bought mine and sense was the deciding factor. I really wish I had like 10 screens, but I hate how laggy open home is.
i am currently using the virtuous 2.5 rom and have been trying out skyraider vanilla and wanna switch to it except i cant seem to give up the clock widget. is there anyway to get it on the other roms? i prefer other roms to the stock sense i just cant get over the clock as weird as that sounds.

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.
Hello All,
I wanted to ask about weather widget. I recently upgraded to CM7 now I dont have HTC weather widget on my desktop to the left of the main screen. Is there a way to put this widget in. I tried using add from menu and add weather but it does not look the same. Its smaller in size and not full screen like the stock used to be. I have HTC inspire.
Please help me if you know the solution to this.
Thank you
As far as I know, once you flashed CM7 you overridden the stock HTC Launcher so HTC widgets won't be available anymore. You'll need to search for a replacement on the maket.
Fancy widget is a good replacement. You can also purchase fancy widget pro if you want the animations
You should search for fancy widgets to get the latest version. it's indeed a good replacement for both HTC weather and HTC clock widgets.
As a side note, if you're missing some of the other widgets like contacts, calendar, facebook and others, you can try my new application Android Pro Widgets (search androidprowidgets on the market if you want to, but it is a paid app).
Edit: if this is against the rules please remove it, advertising was not my intention but I now realize it might be interpreted otherwise.
The weather widget (and just about anything that relies on Sense frameworks) are gone in CM7. There are however alternatives/ clones available in the Android Market like and Animating Flip Clock Widget (not perfect but pretty nice).
Hey guys, i really love the AOSP ROMs, but i miss the sense widgets a lot. Anyone know any good replacements for them, especially the following widgets?
=>People Widget
=>Friend Stream
=>The Giant Weather Clock (there's a ton, i need to know which you think is the best)
=>Messages
PS - I do not want to install a launcher like ADW, GoLauncher or LauncherPRO, so keep those suggestions out. Thanks.
in my opinion the best replacement for the weather clock widget ist fancy widget
ty it out
Thanks, will try it. I really need a widget to replace the PEOPLE widget, i really miss that...

sry cant help you there because i never used that widget
Pure Messenger Widget replaces Friend Stream for me. It can also display Emails, Messages and Call History. Pure Calendar Widget replaces the huge Sense Calendar widget.

Android pro widgets does the trick for me when I go non-sense. Although the "people" equivalent is not linked to facebook, sms and etc.

Yeah, i am using that now. The widgets are not nearly as polished as those in sense,but they'll do.
I like the go launcher widgets most, they are near by to the sense ones, but unfortunately not useable without go launcher(except go weather widget, a nice replacement for the sense clock/wheater widget).
i prefer the go weather app for weather. it works without the need for go launcher. as for people... im still searching... btw, chk out agile lock if u want the lockscreen. it works well, no lag and like in sense, you can put custom lockscreen apps...
I use gosms pro for messages, really good imo
I use Photo Contacts Widget

Good Replacements for HTC Sense Widgets
Try Nova Launcher as it has some edge over other launchers...

The HD Widgets (recently in that 10p sale) is very nice. I've used it in post #282 of the screen shots thread. Not as many skins as Beautiful Widgets, but still a nice looking clock.
Another clock I like which doesn't get much of a mention is WP Clock. It's more of a Live Wallpaper than a clock, but it lefts you have a nice, clutter free main homescreen.

I have searched the web and the forums thin looking for a Calendar Widget with the same behavior as the stock Sense calendar. Im not talking about the Agenda one, im talking about the month view version of it.
I know about, and have tried Jorte, Pure Grid calendar and some other similar ones, but none of them has the behavior that i really like from the Sense one.
I want a calendar that ONLY shows one month at a time, and when i scroll up and down it should jump one whole month instead of scrolling smooth a week at a time...
APW Calendar sort of does it, but it does not support scrolling, it can only jump with buttons...
Can it really be that the Sense style Widget have not been ported to run on other launchers..?! Or that anyone haven't made something like what i'm looking for?
(I'm using ARHD 6.2.1 ICS with ADW Launcher EX, on a Sensation XE)

Yeah I have tried that too, and i really liked it, but i prefer ADW Launcher to GO, so i was kind of hoping a calendar like that existed somewhere else
I use launcher pro and that had a similar widget ... really loved it.
Problem is that LPP widget does not work on ICS based roms. Once you try it to place the widget on the screen, it will crash and then LPP will continuously crash. There is no way to get LPP to work again without reinstalling the rom.
Am keen on getting a similar widget and sincerely hope that someone points me to one
