a clear genie widget (news and weather) apk for froyo. Has that been done yet? im going for the minimalist look and its black background is working against my whole setup. anyone know where to find?
Here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677269
this one uses the htc weather apps but has to be install via adb.
Thanks ! I would really like some leads to the clear genie widget as well if there is one for 2.2 yet.

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
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.

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.
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.
Hi I was Hoping someone could Recommend a few Widgets Similar to the ones on Sense Roms?
I've been looking for Clones to Replace the Bookmarks, Clock with Weather, & Music Widget... But Haven't been able to Find any Widgets Similar, at least as far as the Bookmarks is Concerned!
The Clock, I found 1 or 2... and the Music Widget, I think I found a Replacement? But Bookmarks so far, Nothing...
If anyone knows of any Help me out Please... Thanks1
