Anyone want to create a scrollable news/rss widget to replace HTC News widget? Any other peeps out there want to see this? I don't want to use Sense and it's my favorite widget. Have tried to no avail to find something similar and nothing comes close. The other I was looking for was a replacement for Friend Stream, and Pure Messenger fit the bill perfectly. But haven't seen a suitable 'News' alternative.
I use Newsroom Pro.

Does it have a scrollable widget that integrates all the feeds not just one? I installed the free one earlier and immediately ditched it because it didn't do this. Maybe pro does?

I'm coming from using the desire rom and I find the news widget it has functional and useable. Its nice, customizable and scrollable. I use it to get updates from engadget and gizmodo, but coming to froyo I can't find anything even remotely comparable. I can't believe there's no simple clean 4x4 capable & scrollable widgets out there. I've searched and haven't found any so I'm asking if anyone here knows of any that's good and compatible with Froyo or even a way to use the HTC news widget outside of sense ui.
Thanks in advance.

you do realize, of course, that need you need a special home replacement to do scrollable widgets? Hmm? ADW or home++ blah blah. Anyway, the only ones that scroll are the pure messenger and pure calendar and a dumb bookmark one. Unless I'm missing one, anyone?
ps you're right that would be awesome, i'm surprised no one has started making more scrollable widgets for the new launchers. Francois Deslandes is the man, I guess.
Thanks for the reply, but does pure messenger do rss though?
no rss. it does email, facebook, twitter and sms
Hey everyone,
anyone know a twitter client that imitates HTC's peep widget? I'm currently using touiteur, but the widget sucks. Used to use twidget but kept FCing
if anyone can tlel me an app like htc's twitter or even a port or something that would be great
I haven't used any htc phones, so no idea what it its about that particular widget you like, but tweetcaster had a great widget, and the program itself is great. As fart as I know the only difference between the free and paid versions is a single ad on the bottom of the free one. I tried a ton if different twitter apps, and tweetcaster was by far the best of the ones I tried.

Can somebody point me in the direction of a contact widget like that in sense UI? I've probably downloaded about 15 different widgets and none of them have what I'm looking for. Id like to find one that pulls the contacts photo from Facebook, preferably a scrollable widget. Any ideas?
Search for Scrollable ContactWidget in the market. Or buy the plus version of Launcher Pro.
But not sure whether they would be able to grab contacts and pics from facebook.
Launcherpro Plus is the way to go. He always has good updates and he has been adding alot of widgets that if you didnt know were HTC's. Well worth the money.

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).
