hello all im new to android, but not to modding. i am having a problem getting the htc evo calendar widget on my dell streak. i have the at&t streak with the 2.1 O2 rom, and im rooted. I have tried every calendar and widget available for android on and off the market and NONE not even pure grid com close to the HTC one. so my question is how can i get that HTC calendar widget onto my dell streak? if anyone is successful i would be willing to donate a lil something as a thank you.
I'm not sure if you are referring to the Sense UI calendar widget, but, the Sense widgets will only work on devices with the Sense UI. I may have understood incorrectly, but the Sense UI is apparently coded in such a way that it's hardware specific. it would have to come from a device with similar hardware to the device the particular version of sense came from.
In short, if you don't have Sense on the device in question, you can't run sense specific widgets.
If I'm wrong on any of this information, feel free to correct me. Still rather new to the world of androids.
You're right, Sense widgets only work on Sense ROMs. Although, someone in the Evo forums was working on separating the tight coupling Sense widgets have with Sense ROMs. Look for the Mik ROMs, he talks about being able to do it but last I heard, he hasn't been able to do it.

Does anyone know if there's any way to get The hero Widgets (specifically the sms / email shortcuts with the unread count) to show on the standard android homescreen on a hero rom?

It's not possible
yeah, cheers for that, maybe if you'd read the post before feeling superior and jumping down my throat you'd have realised that that post is about displaying the hero widgets in a standard android rom, which isn't possible as they rely on the hero framework etc.
My question is about using the hero widgets on the standard android homescreen in a hero rom, which should / may be possible because the dependancies are there even though rosie isn't running.
Decist: Doubt it's possible. I remember reading somewhere that the Hero widgets require Rosie.
But they are still dependent on touchflo. No touchflo no Hero widgets as it right now.

okie dokie, I was hopeful that there was a shared dependancy or something that meant you could run the widgets without actually running the whole touchflo experience.

Coming from winmo, i was fed up of coverups upon coverups hiding a OS with new versions of standard features and still having the native ones hidden in the background just to make it enjoyable....
Now.... since Android is completely open source, Is HTC's SenseUI a coverup only having the standard Android UI under the hood, or did HTC REWRITE the standard Android apps and replaced them with theirs????
From this i mean, is HTC's version of the Album, Music, Contacts, Browser etc. an add-on having the vanila versions hidden somewhere like they do with winmo and can be reverted to, or are they ACTUALLY the classic apps redone by HTC???
I really hope HTC rewrote the OS cuz it really works well together (somewhat of a HTC OS all together)

I believe Sense UI on Android is the same deal. Just an overlay with their own widgets.

It may be a dialer skin but the contacts and stuff are all part of the sense ui. Just like the WM version. There are different "layers" or levels of how deep you can go into the UI.

Hey everyone
How do I customize HTC Sense in Windows 6.5 Phoenix 2 ROM?
This may be a simple question, but whenever I check off things other than HTC Sense when customizing the home screen, nothing shows up.
More specifically I want messaging and info on the today screen too, but the only thing that is there is HTC Sense Clock/weather. It is very stubborn, in which it disables anything other than itself to be shown in the today screen.
How do I fix this (Look at pictures for more info)
Pictures are in the order I took them, and not by the name/number of them.
Thanks
If you choose Sense then that's all you get. If you want other options on your today screen you have to turn off Sense.
Thanks for the reply. So how can I customize sense then? I'll look in the forums, but if you have a link or info that would be great too.
Moved as not theme release.

Hi all,
Having tried out and tested some of the great new Roms that have been created for out TG01's and many thanks to those whose hard work made them possible.
I personally have discovered that the only thing i really like about Sense is the great Weather app and moving wallpaper on the Home Screen. I actually prefer the look and options that SPB Mobile Shell gives me over Sense. So i am wondering is it possible to extract and just install the HTC Weather to run on our TG01's as if so i think that would be great.
Looking forward to finding out if it's possible or not and if anyone else would like this to.

Hi all,
Well I'm amazed at nearly 200 views but no comments anyway last night i flashed an unbranded Rom with Sense 2.5 v2012 and installed Cookies Home Tab Mod and CHTeditor and have to say am now loving Sense and of course the Weather app. I can highly recommend it as being both fast and simple and with the amount of tweaks and fixes it works both fast and smoothly.

Hi. I was looking for HTC Notes and luckly for me, I found it on this forum ([Widget]HTC Sense NOTES WIDGET). But? however, it doesn't work on my HTC Desire (instead of Sense UI I'm using LaucherPro). Maybe someone could help me remaking whis widget working not only on Sense, or to make new, but with the all same functions, which are in this one. Thank you very much in advance
