I was told about LauncherPro and loving but the HTC widgets are not in the list while I am using LauncherPro, is there a way I can get the widgets on there?
Thanks,
Josh
Unfortunately the HTC widgets only work with the Sense UI interface and home screen. Once you use a 3rd party home program you lose the ability to add HTC Widgets. I use Helix 2 and find that the usefulness of the program outweighs the need to use HTC specific widgets.
Damn, well thanks Angry.
Does anyone know of any good alternatives to the HTC clock and mail widgets, if there are any good ones, than I will definitely stick with LauncherPro.

Looks just like the HTC version. Does it do the same thing with the weather special effects?

I use ADW Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, Agenda Widget, Pure Grid Calendar, Pure Messenger, Pure Music and Visual Bookmarks to replace most of the Sense widgets.

I really like the features that the sense weather and clock widget, and it isn't offered with that of the awd. Is there any way to have the same features that the sense weather and clock widget have on this type of launcher. Ohh and I got the fancy weather widget, but its just not the same as the regular. HALP!
You can't have both. You have to choose.

You can only find replacements...once again sense widgets only work with the sense home.

Who cares if it is exactly the same? They have more skins and options than the Sense clock could ever hope for. I'm sure you could find something that you like just as much or more.

Weather & Toggle Widgets are my favorites (mainly because the Beautiful Widgets brightness widget doesn't work with Sense phones).

I use weather and toggle with the sense clock and weather icon clones (h7c-clock.zip and h7c.zip) which you can download through the apps settings. I also have the forecast add-on for weather toggle which is nice.
I agree
I hear you, I miss the Picture Gallery and bookmark widgets, I really want to quickly view my pictures and recorded videos like on the Touch Pro 2.
I have found a nice calendar replacement, and music replacement. It's a trade off, My co-worker also has an EVO, so I like mine to look totally sleek and different, i'm happy with ADW launcher.

The "Pure" calendar widgets are pretty popular choices.
ditto. also the agenda view for the calendar widget is awesome
I had the pleasure of testing a SenseUI based "NXSense" ROM on my N1
Problem is, I had several widgets I really freakin' loved
-the HTC Clock
Beautiful widgets and Weather clock donate are popular recomendations as alternatives but I fail to find them succeeding at one thing: integration. Also, they all cost money which I'm not really okay with considering there should be a way to rip the apk from the SenseUI roms??
The HTC clock thing was using GPS/location to get weather, i hit the date and it opened up calander, i press the time and it brings up my alarm clock and an already inbuilt timer and stop watch. I absolutely loved this.
-Friend Stream
I've used other social network apps.. This one is just so much more simpler. Add accounts, post from widget, done. all networks update. Nothing I've used yet is this well done.
-Activesync Widget for the inbuilt mail app... man that thing was a nice setup. I'm willing to pay for alternatives as this one is work related. My MS Exchange email was so easy to read from this widget
Bingo
Well I think you hit the nail on the head - integration - in fact from my understanding the HTC widgets are very integrated into Sense. And as such there is not a way to port them... something to do with the Framework if I recall reading that somewhere correctly. However Beautiful Widgets does basically the same as the HTC clock but does cost money, and Fancy Widget is identical in look, no idea about functionality. As far as friend stream I know of no alternative, however LauncherPro Plus (also pay) has some widgets that look like it, but of course they are not the app.
However, I am pretty much permanently converted to Sense ROMs and won't be leaving NXSense anytime soon haha
Welp I guess HTC sense rom it is.
launcherpro plus has some sense widgets including on similar to friend stream. it also has facebook twitter calendar bookmarks and people sense widgets too
From my understanding - using friendstream 'n stuff without porting the HTC Sense environment wont work, so either use a sense rom like MicroMods, or live without friendstreem :/
Yup launcher pro plus has it and I love it. Plus I'm using beautiful Widgets for my clock and it does exactly what you say

So I bought launcher Pro Plus and ended up flashing to a SENSE UI ROM
I still have a conflict. I just dumped $3 on Launcher Pro Plus, and I'm not exactly happy with its widgets. It doesn't have a FRIEND STREAM widget, it has a FACEBOOK widget :| Not really happy about that
Now when I'm using Launcher Pro Plus, which by the way is way superior as a launcher to any stock launcher, I cannot use any HTC Widgets. Instead they're locked to the HTC Launcher. Very, VERY angry with this.
Is there any way I can get the HTC sense widgets on Launcher Pro? The stock launcher sucks, it lags, its slow, I can't add rows or columns (#1 reason why I like Launcher Pro), and the list goes on.
Someone please help

For Launcher Pro Plus, there is a Twitter Widget, a Facebook Widget, and a Friends Widget which combines the two.
There is no way to use HTC Widgets with a different launcher than the HTC Launcher. Likewise, there is no way to use the Launcher Pro Widgets with a different launcher than Launcher Pro.

Well here's the thing, the HTC Sense Friendstream also has Google Buzz and Flickr Updates in there *pulls hair out* D:
I think I'll stick with the Sense based ROM as I absolutely love the Gallery integration with my Flickr.. but man oh man I really am upset at the lack of those widgets.

launcherpro does have a friendstream like widget that has both facebook and twitter on one widget.
Guys i'm using MIUI ROM and i'm hesitant to install launcherpro coz i'll loose all the feeling of miui!!!
I need a calendar widget like the one in HTCsense or launcherpro, scrollable, showing full agenda and can switch if possible to calendar month view.
Besides i need a friends widget (Facebook primary and Twitter if possible) like in the one of HTCsense or launcherpro, scrollable, showing status, updates, pics, likes,....
Please guide me
Sorry if this is the wrong section to post, but it doesn't fit too in android general development
10x
Well Launcherpro plus (payed) will give you the widgets or you can get colorize widgets for free.
Schould be almost the same.
Beside that, there are 1 million calender widgets out there, but the one with the most features should be Android Agenda Widget
I agree, I'm Trying to find a nice cal widget like HTC's but nothing really comes close. Is there an APK for that or is it built into HTC?
MIUI Launcher doesn't support scrollable widgets. You will never find one that works on the stock launcher.
Pure calender widget is good.
Completely customisable as well.

I already have Android Pro full version,and full version isnt free.Like it over colorize widgets and LP widgets
Does anyone know of a widget that's similar to the smaller of the Friendstream styles, where it's just a text input box that posts to multiple accounts?
**EDIT**
TweetDeck, exactly what I was looking for.
Launcher Pro Plus also has a Facebook and Twitter widget that is very similar to sense.
what's wrong with friendstream?

Switched from ADW a while back, might want to give LPP a spin.
I'm now just using Sense and and actually like it.
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...

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

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.
