Does anyone if porting some the HTC WIdgets, IE; calendar and email from the Mytouch to the incredible will be possible. Either via .apk or root?
Those widgets are pretty nice.

i would like to know if there is a way to extract the hero widgets and install them on (in my case my touch t-mobile)htc magic. since mine i can not root yet. mabey a stupid question but i am a real newbie. thanks in advance.
Nope not yet.
The Hero widgets are tied heavily into the Rosie interface used in the Hero so wouldn't work on our Magics without Rosie.
Try searching through the market place, there is plenty of widgets available that are 'almost' the same as the ones in Hero.
I've found the clock/weather app
A twitter widget
An sms widget
You can even put all your web site bookmarks into a folder and place that on one of your home screens, then when you open it you get a scrollable list of all your bookmarks.
yea but the one i really liked was the people one. but thanks for the reply.
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
I really like the HTC widgets, pure messanger doesnt compare. on the other hand, htc's mail app doesnt compare the gmail app, atleast for me.
my request is for someone to mod the widget to launch gmail instead of the htc mail client. would be nice if the specific email opened, but the main gmail app would be good enough for me.
Bump please? Lol.

Id like to know if its possible to install thale stock mail.apk and htc mail widget to a Nonsense Evo.
If not is there something similar I could install??
EVO nosense.
Specifically what are you looking to do? Non-sense ROMs should have a mail app. Not sure about widgets since I don't use mail widgets but do you just want something that displays emails on a homescreen widget?
Thats what im looking for. The stock rom has a mail widget where I can see my emails on one of the screens 4x4 size. Where I can check my 2 hotmail accounts and my gmail account.

Ive been using pure messenger. Looks a little nicer than the sense one, but can be a slight buggy with updating.
Ill give that a try. But more suggestions will ve read.

Using pure messenger. Almost perfect substitute for what I was looking.
Thanks for the info.

Sigh, I'm also looking for a solution to this. On stock I had the Sense email widget for my exchange emails and it was awesome. The lack of good 4x4 email widgets is appalling.
I've tried Pure Messenger but it requires K9 mail which I simply can't get to work with my server.
I've tried "email widget" from the market, had to do some terminal work to get it to install as a system app, and it works, but looks like crap, text is way too small and runs together.
Really missing that Sense email widget.

Launcher Pro Plus ($3 USD) is great and has some HTC style widgets without requiring the HTC framework (required by Sense UI). Search for posts by Signals23, he has themed the those widgets and made them look even nicer. The free version of Launcher Pro doesn't allow the use of the widgets.
I'll try that out thanks for the help
