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.

I think Pure Calendar Widget is what you're looking for.

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 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 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.

I agree 100% and if anybody finds a how too I'd be interested in it too.
Could a theme change the app drawer?

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.

Yes, I'm sure he knows that. That's why he wants to port a LauncherPro feature to Sense instead of switching to LauncherPro.

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.

Android Pro widgets, its almost an exact copy of the Launcher Pro widget suite and free
Pure Calendar is the only other solution really, but it is paid. There's also Colorize (which I think includes a calendar widget).

when i install this it says
process com.lge.android.calendar.widget stop working and it force close
does this work on a gingerbread rom
or does it need a different calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk to make it work
Jorte calendar is good and has a selection of widgets,I find it as good as sense widget
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...

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

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 use simple calendar widget as a 4 x 1 home screen widget . It's has highly configurable and customizable colors and fonts.
For full screen you can't beat the sense calendar month widget, unless you're not on sense and then another vote for Android pro widget

I'm glad I came across this thread. I've been looking for something to replace Go Calendar, and Android Pro Widgets does a great job.
I got business calendar when it was cheap but I think its an awesome calendar haven't had any problems as of yet with both Google and jorte events dissapeared on it very annoying.
Totally posted in the wrong thread, sorry Anyways, Pure Calendar Widget Agenda is the best
