Thats the HTC widget. That will only work on a Sense ROM and if you are using the Sense Launcher (no ADW or Launcher Pro ect). If you are running one it should be included. The closest thing would be Beautiful Widgets that you can get in the market. There is(or was) another one in the market that is an exact clone but Im sure it wont be long before HTC shuts them down if they havent already.
o i c and i do have ADW launcher. thanks for your respond and i will look for that beautiful widget.
I think the closest replacement to the Htc Clock/Weather Widget is called Weather & Toggle Widget in the Market - I really like it a lot.
Or Fancy Widget which looks just like it, but you will need to surf the internet to dig it out. Since it was taken off the market place, or at least I dont see it no the market anymore.

Hi,
i switched from the DESIRE Rom`s to CM and i`m pretty happy so far, but i still want some things i miss:
1. an app drawer that moves quicker.. i mean this one is nice and 3D but so slow to scroll!. I looked for spare parts but it seams there is no standalone app for the N1
2. Other than the iphone style lock screen and the pattern one, can we get something else? Maybe the Desire Lock Screen?
3. Is there a way to install the Desire Mail app and Clock (the one with weather and all)
thanks!
1. look up helixlauncher, one of them on the market is a drawer.
2. check out lock 2.0
3. I'm not sure about these.

The answer to #3 is no.
1. HelixLauncher, market or on this forum. Just a simple push or install of an APK.
2. Lock 2.0 or Lockbot, both on market. Search for "Lockscreen"
3. I'm not too sure what you mean but which mail app are you talking about? Check out Pure Messenger Widget and for the clock, check out "Beautiful Widgets" or "Weather and Toggle Widget" or something like that. (I actually forgot the name of this one)
Well i`m using helixlauncher2 and the app drawer is slugish.
As for lock 2.0 it's iphone style
I would have liked to have the Mail app from the desire ROM, because it was really good. but installing the apk does not work
Well thanks for the answers

Helix Launcher 2 IS quite slow, a newer version in on the way thats better but if you use Helix Launcher (NOT 2) it is the older drawer style and much faster.
LockBot allows you to use several lock screen styles including the Desire/Hero style one
Weather Widget Donate and Beautiful widgets both provide a similar clock to the desire one and support skins so you can customise them.
Or use HelixLauncher2 0.7b1 - just as fast as stock.

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, do you know a scrollable contact widget that works with 1.6? i'm thinking of something like pure messenger, only for contacts.
I know that we'll get eclair soon, but i still wanna knows if there exists something like that. I'm using adw launcher, which is capable of scrolling widgets.
Talking of 2.1, can you tell me a good scrollable contact widget for that? If i'm not wrong, launcher pro (plus?) brings one built in, right?
Cheers

Nope, 2.1 upwards only.
Not that kind you search, but with Launcher-X Pro you can create widgets, at least with contacts (, apps & shortcuts).
For example you can create a widget where you can see up to 7 contacts.
By pressing a button in the widget you can turn to next side of the widget, where are the next 7 contacts.
In every widget you create you can add up to 72 contacts (apps or shortcuts).
Launcher-X Pro is availible in Market in 2 Versions (free & paid)
At the second screen from my phone you can see one of the widgets with my most used contacts. (pictures are pixelized)
http://www.pocketpc.ch/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/100936-homescreens-xperia-x10i-10.html#post759807
Just have a look and try the free version of that app.
I like it.
Thanks for your answers!
I'm already using launcher-x pro, and i really like it for having my most used apps etc at hand.
But scrolling/swiping like in the pure messenger widget is just more intuitive since i don't have to precisely push a button. sounds stupid, i know, but it really makes things easier
I wonder why no one is creating a widget like this, pure messenger already shows that it's possible when you have a capable launcher. and ADW is easily one of the most used launchers out there Or is there another limitation when we're speaking about contacts instead of messages? Probably we're just obsolete fossils with our donut
Thanks anyway for your advices!
Cheers

Ive tried to look for a widget like that too, but had no luck. The best thing you can do is wait for 2.1 to come and then install LauncherPro Plus.. You'll get a scrollable people widget, much like the htc's contact widget.

You can use GDE home and it has built in task bar and additional 4x1 dock that can add any place. you can add any shortcut or contact and change icon and rename each the way you want in both dock and task bars. whats more is that you can add any number of icons and scroll both ways. Check it out.

I think you can't use these kind of widgets in combination with an alternative launcher. HTC Sense widgets only work, if you use the Sense launcher.
But maybe I'm wrong, that would be great I would also love to see the Social+ widget in combination with my LauncherPro.
I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts, liked it way better than any of the other social networking widgets. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
I use Zeam launcher and cant use it either. I dont mind the LG launcher but i prefer having my screen 5 icons wide
I am running gummy 2.0. I am not sure if that is important info or not but I want my phone to have this theme https://market.android.com/details?id=com.upwardspiral.Basic_Orange
If i could get that exact theme somehow that would be awesome. but if I cant I would like something like this which I think is more in the possible range.http://launcherpro-themes.deviantart.com/gallery/?set=27893132&offset=24#/d3i8v4p
I like the simple clean look of just he words. Any help is much appreciated.
Also the only theme programs I know of so far are launcher pro and adw. Are there any other ones worth looking at?
Thanks a ton!
You could also try GO Launcher EX.

The basic orange theme is a cm7 theme. At this time the droid charge doesn't have cm7 running but I am sure the theme can be ported or someone can make an orange theme from one of their current themes. I would put a request thread asking for someone to create an orange theme or see what they can come up with.

I think the only way to do that would be to use the TSM parts option in Gummy 2.0, and as for widget locker do you have the app? there should be theme settings somewhere in options
