I am interested in putting together a list of ALL official HTC widgets, either stock widgets found on different HTC devices as well as the "additional" widgets no one can seem to download.
I think this tread should be sticky-ed and should be made the HTC widgets archive thread.
Why? because I am sure most will agree that the HTC widgets are the best widgets for Android but there are so many out there and putting them all in one place for HTC device owners to download and enjoy just makes sense (get it? like HTC Sense? hahaha). For example, I have a myTouch 3G Slide which has some cool widgets on it and my friend just got a Droid Incredible with has some awesome widgets that I don't have and want, this would be a great place to post them.
Anyways, if you have a rooted HTC device or have any HTC widgets post them here. Extracting widgets from HTC roms is also a good way to get them.
+1 for this idea...
for me the best player for android is Winamp, I can even sync with my music from pc
A list of available widgets would be awesome. I think that's one of the reasons I go from ROM to ROM. Just want something fresh and better looking.

Any thoughts on this?
I love the UI for Peep and feel like it deserves to be graced onto the Nexus One.
+1 i loved this, maybe it will be in the ported desire rom!
It is. I just flashed the alpha Desire ROM shortly after posting this, and after using Peep for a bit, I don't like it too much! Just the widget is aesthetically pleasing haha
For the 100th time... u cannot use htc widgets on the n1. they use different frameworks thus the lack of compatibility.
Not just the widget, either, this app, peep, depends on HTC's framework, which is proprietary, and therefore can't be ported to work on a non-HTC ROM. If you want peep, you have to use a full HTC-Sense ROM, like Desire. Same thing with the widgets, the mail client, the music player (mostly--there has been some success getting it to port from Hero to Dream/Magic, way back in the day), or anything else that depends on HTC. In short, if it looks like Sense, you need a HTC ROM to use it.
its funny how the same question gets asked over and over and over again.
Use the search button.
someone could extract the widgets and the music player of
rom MODACO HTC SENSE DESIRE, for use in the nexus one with the
cyano rom? or if I could tell what files are what I
be drawn?
I'm interested in following widgets and app
1. settings
2. contact
3. weather
4. twitter
5. people
6. messages
7. mail
8. stream friend
9. music
10. clock
11. bookmarks
12. calendar
Nearly all htc sense widgets , if I am right in
the desire to have the same resolution of the nexus, these widgets should
operate in the nexus one as does the htc_IME or me
right?
maybe someone could extract these widgets and app, or tell me that
are files that I have to extract the rom
greetings and thanks in advance
This is an age old topic for any sense/hero ROM. HTC widgets only work on HTC's framework so you can't just use their widgets on any ROM.
I seen a long time ago someone mentioned that there is a wrapper around the widgets and possibly there might be a way to remove the wrapper to make it work on different builds but dont know if its true or how hard

Somebody test out the widget files? I don't have rapidshare.
Doubt the widgets will work with cyanogen's mod but keeping my fingers crossed....

This would be awesom...
If you want Sense widgets you need a Sense ROM.
There are plenty of imitations going around but nothing beats the real thing.

mayb he wants only some of the features of sense..
on a side note, is there an apk pack for froyo since froyo for evo 4g is out already?
Check out Launcher Pro Plus, the bookmarks, calander & people widgets work & function just like the sense ones! There are more coming to such as clock, weather, messages, friend stream

Hello!
Is there a good alternative for non-HTC Phones for HTC Sense which is also so good?
Or is there a possibility to apply HTC Sense to a non-HTC phone via the app markets (there it is not available, or!?)...
Greetings and thx!

If you neet exactly Sense-like theme, use GDE+Hero White theme, or smth like that. The only difference is that middle button is associated with main menu, not phone app.
Otherwise, just use GDE woth another themes, as for me, I like Froyo theme most. Or try another desktop environments. Compare and see for yourself.

we all know htc sense. slow, clunky, sense. everyone wants the best out of their phone, but there is something that is just so appealing about sense that stops our fingers over those barebone scripts. that thing is..... the widgets!!
htc's widgets are the simplest, best, and most innovative. they are the only thing keeping me (and a bunch of other people) from switching to non-sense roms or at least running a barebone script. i love my simple, nice, smooth sense widgets. my question is, what locks widgets to a specific launcher? how easy or difficult would it be to break this tie? why has no dev tried this before (or has one?)? anybody with answers please comment.
asking widget devs might be the first place to start. anybody have any other ideas?
thanks for helping out...

I believe the reason why nobody has done it is because of copyrights, HTC made beautiful widget take their widget down from the market because it was there flip clock (same thing with fancy widget ) and I believe that's why they don't mess with it just like you can't find swype apk in the forums, so I double a developer would do that to get in trouble , roms and rooting are ptacticly legal so not problem there

i never thought of it that way. how is rooting and roms legal but a simple porting of widgets not? it would still be on the evo, for which it was intended right? if a non-sense dev put a few widgets into his rom, i would use it for sure. still sense right? either way, do you have any idea on what the process might be?

Mm yeah is copyrights just look at this article about HTC and beautifull Widgets to take there app down
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...-infringement-for-video-of-beautiful-widgets/
And is the same as asking a developer to make the Widgets work a non sense launcher
And roms if different there legal, you buy the device you have the right to do wtv you want I can't find the article but they are

ok. what about personally doing it? if you dont share it (publicly or privately) wouldnt it be ok? baisically i'm asking can it be done?
It can be done. Ethics and legality come into play. I beleve it is called reverse engeneering or reengineering, which is not techniccly illegal, but htc removes the right to reverse engineer/reengineer. Its in the copywright.

Thanks for the info. I will do a google search later. With legality, i don't plan on sharing it, so copyrights won't be a problem. With ethnics, i just want to get the most out of my phone. I cant find a task or notes widget anywhere close to the htc one. If htc has a problem, or even a way to find out, if I am using stock widgets on a different launcher, i will delete them. Thanks for all your help.
I googled and can't find anything helpful anyways so I guess I will just stick with clunky old sense.
Check out LauncherPro Plus. Fede, the developer, has added a number of Sense-like widgets to the Plus version and has promised to add more. So far he has released a Facebook widget, Twitter, a Friendstream-like widget, Bookmarks, MMS, and Contacts.
No RSS widget or email yet but I am crossing my fingers.
Hi!
Is there any chanche that i can get similar widget for launcher pro on the market or anywhere else?
Ireally need it. And i searched evrything, and i cant find widget that i can check/unchecked directly on the screen.
Thanks fo evrything!
That looks like a HTC widget obviously.... Probably a Z version since I have not seen that one. So if you are using a HTC Sense Z rom (I am not at the moment so I can not check) you should take a look at the htc network and see if that widget is available for download.
Just my suggestion. I dont know if there is another, I use Jorte to manage my gmail tasks which works great for my needs.

Oh! I really wish I could get one of that for my Nexus S too!
