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.

My big thing is the HTC News widget. My favorite and can't find anything that's similar.

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.

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.

I just modified the Power Widget that's part of this MOD as per the instructions in the thread and it works perfectly and looks better than the Switch Pro widget.
the contacts widget on the Incredible is very good. Is there any way to get them on the X? This is my 1st android phone, so I'm a bit of a noob.
No, the widget of which you speak is a HTC Sense widget and will ONLY work on a device running a custom HTC Sense version of android.
HOWEVER!
There are plenty of widgets already on the Android Market that are pretty much exactly the same.
"People / Contacts Widget" Seems to look exactly the the same to me, the only thing it doesnt do is scroll like the HTC version. If you are looking for that try..........
"Scrollable ContactsWidget BETA" which offers a scrolling option when used with Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher!
Good luck, and enjoy your new Android phone!
Anyone know of a good calendar widget that works in agenda view and has transparecy settings ? The stock one is garbage.

The new Launcher Pro Plus ($2.99) is attempting to replicate all of the sense widgets, with the contacts one being done already. Check out if that's what you're looking for. I'm new and can't post links but google launcher pro plus and it'll pop right up.
I Hope I am putting this in the right place, if not I am sorry!!! I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3d app drawer that is on Launcher pro onto htc sense ui? If anyone knows of a way please let me know I will be greatful!!!!!!! [email protected]
No it's not
Just use LauncherPro.
I like the some of the htc widgets that sense ui has
there must be a way to port that 3d app drawer over
As far as I know the app drawer isn't an app, and it's part of the default home app. The reason LauncherPro has the 3D one is because they wrote that all themselves - they control EVERYTHING.
LauncherPro Plus has started creating widgets that are almost identical to the HTC widgets. As of now, only the People widget is released, but more are on the way.

The people widget for launcher pro is it something that needs to be downloaded from the market or is it in launcher pro already. I didn't see under widget in launcher pro so I wonder if it needs to be downloaded from the market.
It's in Launcher Pro Plus, it's a paid app.

I did switch to a superior launcher... when I set HTC sense as my default. I've tried the others and bottom line I don't like how they look and I'm not going to go hunt down and pay for apps and widgets that are half as good as my HTC ones.
On here I've tried different themes, roms and all kinds of stuff, and I would really doubt that just changing the app drawer is impossible
Launcher pro (free and paid) allow you to have a 3d app drawer.

I was in the OPs shoes until the other day, you REALLY should give LauncherPro another shot because there are widgets out there better than HTC Sense's. LauncherPro Plus includes a people widget, Fancy Widget = HTC Sense's clock, pure calendar grid= freaking awesome calendar, Pure messenger = way better than friendstream... seriously you should check them out.
I will do that thanks for tip!
I had a 3d one similar to what the Nexus has on my phone.
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.
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.
