HTC Widgets with LauncherPro?

I was told about LauncherPro and loving but the HTC widgets are not in the list while I am using LauncherPro, is there a way I can get the widgets on there?
Thanks,
Josh

Unfortunately the HTC widgets only work with the Sense UI interface and home screen. Once you use a 3rd party home program you lose the ability to add HTC Widgets. I use Helix 2 and find that the usefulness of the program outweighs the need to use HTC specific widgets.

Damn, well thanks Angry.
Does anyone know of any good alternatives to the HTC clock and mail widgets, if there are any good ones, than I will definitely stick with LauncherPro.

Looks just like the HTC version. Does it do the same thing with the weather special effects?

Test-driving Beautiful Widgets with Launcher pro. Looking for my weather animations....

I use ADW Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, Agenda Widget, Pure Grid Calendar, Pure Messenger, Pure Music and Visual Bookmarks to replace most of the Sense widgets.

I've been curious to try out ADW Launcher. How does it compare to LauncherPro?
Nevermind. Just tried it out and I definitely prefer LauncherPro.

HelixLauncher 1 and 2 are also home replacement options

Switch Pro is my favorite so far.. have tried MANY others

I just modified the Power Widget that's part of this MOD as per the instructions in the thread and it works perfectly and looks better than the Switch Pro widget.

[REQ] HTC Clock + Friendstream

I had the pleasure of testing a SenseUI based "NXSense" ROM on my N1
Problem is, I had several widgets I really freakin' loved
-the HTC Clock
Beautiful widgets and Weather clock donate are popular recomendations as alternatives but I fail to find them succeeding at one thing: integration. Also, they all cost money which I'm not really okay with considering there should be a way to rip the apk from the SenseUI roms??
The HTC clock thing was using GPS/location to get weather, i hit the date and it opened up calander, i press the time and it brings up my alarm clock and an already inbuilt timer and stop watch. I absolutely loved this.
-Friend Stream
I've used other social network apps.. This one is just so much more simpler. Add accounts, post from widget, done. all networks update. Nothing I've used yet is this well done.
-Activesync Widget for the inbuilt mail app... man that thing was a nice setup. I'm willing to pay for alternatives as this one is work related. My MS Exchange email was so easy to read from this widget

Bingo
Well I think you hit the nail on the head - integration - in fact from my understanding the HTC widgets are very integrated into Sense. And as such there is not a way to port them... something to do with the Framework if I recall reading that somewhere correctly. However Beautiful Widgets does basically the same as the HTC clock but does cost money, and Fancy Widget is identical in look, no idea about functionality. As far as friend stream I know of no alternative, however LauncherPro Plus (also pay) has some widgets that look like it, but of course they are not the app.
However, I am pretty much permanently converted to Sense ROMs and won't be leaving NXSense anytime soon haha

Welp I guess HTC sense rom it is.

launcherpro plus has some sense widgets including on similar to friend stream. it also has facebook twitter calendar bookmarks and people sense widgets too

From my understanding - using friendstream 'n stuff without porting the HTC Sense environment wont work, so either use a sense rom like MicroMods, or live without friendstreem :/

Yup launcher pro plus has it and I love it. Plus I'm using beautiful Widgets for my clock and it does exactly what you say
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

So I bought launcher Pro Plus and ended up flashing to a SENSE UI ROM
I still have a conflict. I just dumped $3 on Launcher Pro Plus, and I'm not exactly happy with its widgets. It doesn't have a FRIEND STREAM widget, it has a FACEBOOK widget :| Not really happy about that
Now when I'm using Launcher Pro Plus, which by the way is way superior as a launcher to any stock launcher, I cannot use any HTC Widgets. Instead they're locked to the HTC Launcher. Very, VERY angry with this.
Is there any way I can get the HTC sense widgets on Launcher Pro? The stock launcher sucks, it lags, its slow, I can't add rows or columns (#1 reason why I like Launcher Pro), and the list goes on.
Someone please help

For Launcher Pro Plus, there is a Twitter Widget, a Facebook Widget, and a Friends Widget which combines the two.
There is no way to use HTC Widgets with a different launcher than the HTC Launcher. Likewise, there is no way to use the Launcher Pro Widgets with a different launcher than Launcher Pro.

Well here's the thing, the HTC Sense Friendstream also has Google Buzz and Flickr Updates in there *pulls hair out* D:
I think I'll stick with the Sense based ROM as I absolutely love the Gallery integration with my Flickr.. but man oh man I really am upset at the lack of those widgets.

[Q] pro launcher (facebook and messaging widget)

Where can I find the widgets that Pro launcher uses for it's messaging and facebook that is used on it's theme. I would like to use them on ADWLauncher EX. Or is there anything similar. Thanks in advance

without knowing what these widgets are exactly, i would imagine that they are part of that particular launcher. Launcher Pro has its own version of the messaging widget, and the official facebook app has its own widget also. i dont think it is possible, or at least very easy to migrate launcher specific widgets to other launchers. hope that helps.

They are Launcher Pro X widgets. I like the layout of them and wondered if there were any similar, apart from the official FB app or Handcent app (pop up) which I am currently using. I would use Pro launcher but I prefer the ADW launcher EX ui.

Try Pure Messenger Widget from the market (paid), but similar to the LPP widget

I was looking around for something like this too, I don't need to use lpp anymore because 2.2 stock launcher is pretty much the exact way I had it setup
let me know if ya see something
EDIT:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/colorize-widget/com.snowbee.colorize

not what I was looking for
I need an all in one scrollable widgetlike a 3x2 box

I've been using Colorize Widgets for a month now and I have to report that they look and work great!
You are right, an all in one widget would be cool, but as far as the widget size is concerned, most launchers nowadays let you resize,
so that would not be an issue.

Robbyf56 thanks for the link. This is exactly what I was looking for. Sorry it wasn't what you wanted.

[Q] Widgets LauncherPro style

Good morning guys,
Used the launcher and installed MIUI of these days the LauncherPro Plus, and I fell in love with his own widgets, eg Facebook, twitter. You can see all updates in the launcher own without having to be opened by pressing the program or get one by hand and seeing how one of the widgets in the program itself. I would like to leave if there are some widgets that do the same job or if you have way to install these widgets in LauncherPro MIUI?
It would be the perfect combination, the launcher would be perfect for Android.
Thank you.
Excuse my English (google.translate) rsrsrsrsrs

If you mean you're looking for widgets like LP+'s, I'd take a look at Colorize Widgets.

MIUI launcher doesn't support scrollable widgets. You can try Android Pro Widgets though, they have funky but functional workaround.

Is it possible to use GO widgets without GO Launcher

Hi,
I really like the GO widgets like the calendar and facebook ones. However, I'm starting to like QQ Launcher. I know that you install the widgets seperately and they still show up in my apps when I uninstall GO Launcher. HOwever they aren't showing up in my widgets list
Thanks

They dont show up in your widget list because they are made to work with Go Launcher, its the same with the Go Launcher themes, even when you uninstall the Launcher they are still there but you cannot use them.

It is the same with every launcher. Non of the launcher widgets will work with another launcher. I would check android widget pro
