So, I'm a big fan of the apps Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets...but the silly things will not work with CM7. Is there a setting that I'm missing, or something I'm not doing right?
If these just will not work at all, are there any valid replacements? I search and search on the forums, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help on the matter is appreciated. Thanks guys.
Im using the MIUI themed Fancy Widget on CM7 just fine.. I'll download and try beautiful widgets as well just to check. Have you went to settings->applications->the app name->clear data?
No problems here use be on my home screen daily

Try un installing/ re installing? I run BW every day on CM7 no issues... also try clockworkmod and fix permissions... that mostly makes all crazy stuff better
Ok, so I've gotten the clock part working... had to fix permissions in Clockwork (thank you ibcenu), but now it's not displaying the weather portion. It tells me I'm in an unknown location - maybe it's because of a gps issue, I'm just not sure... I can use the new Superclock and display my battery, but I'd rather see what the weather's doing instead.
Yeah just go to configure the beautiful widget and set location it should work fine
and make sure it is NOT on your SD card..it has to be on the phone to work right...

this is the reason i dont use clockwork or rom manager !!!
My weather wont display when I choose Google as my provider (Fancy Widget Pro). I have to select Weather.com, or whatever it is.

Anyone have a fix to get the new HTC widgets to install correctly on the new dc rom? when i install them from the market i get an error saying its incompatible or something like that. is there a fix? i searched the 2.06 thread with no luck.
they are already in the rom?? sometimes you have to go into Settings > Manage Apps > HTC Sense > Clear Data for them to show correctly

I think the OP is referring to the downloadable HTC widgets such as battery widget, etc. These will not install from the Market nor do they show up when clicking to download from the widget list to add to home. I too, would like to know a work around to install (not a different widget on the Market) because I really miss the HTC battery widget.

Oh, shoot my bad.
For some reason, the Download new HTC widgets button worked on my v2.0 rom. It showed the downloadable ones and worked on the HS

yeah that's what I was referring to. I want the HTC battery widget back.

I think the widget isn't installing because it isn't an official ROM, but that is just a guess.
Could be part of the problem. However, it did install on the Eris based 2.1 roms which had very different frameworks than the Sprint based 2.1 roms. I believe that is the real problem. The Eris roms were more like the Sprint 1.5 roms framework wise.
Just wondering if anyone's found a fix for this? I miss my battery widget lol
still waiting for this myself. hopefully it will work with the release keys
Has anyone else run into issues with Springpad on their Infuse? I cannot get my notes to go to my homescreen and the widgets wont show up in the widget menu. I reinstalled it yesterday and got the widgets to reappear in the widget menu, but when I shut my phone off last night and turned it back on this morning, the widget transformed into a problem, and the Springpad widgets no longer show up in the widget menu. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? Or just have a better replacement?
I use Springpad but do not use the widgets. So I tested it by adding the list view widget and the small one, rebooted and the widgets remain. I am using a custom ROM (Infused) so not sure if that has anything to do with it. If you are looking for a replacement, try Evernote.
There is an easy fix for that. I had the same problem with pandora widget, it would always disapper from widget list after the reboot. Go into settings, applications, manage applications then move the app to phone and reboot. It will never disappear after that.

I am using a custom ROM as well (Refuse 1.6). It could be something with that ROM I suppose; I haven't tried any others for long enough to get to using Springpad.

Yep, that'll do. I had not even thought they were being automatically placed there; don't remember ever setting this. Just noticed that all of my apps are being installed to sd card. I'll check around for how to change it. Thanks!
Edit: Springpad was not among those stored on the SD card, turns out. Widget is working again though. It must have been something else.
I came across this on google:

Basically it just shows you how you can get an ICS styled Lock Screen for the Sensation! It's great and has been running really well. The article says:
Download:
1. Magic Lockscreen: HERE
2. ICS Style Theme: HERE
How to use/install:
1. Install app, then theme and use app to select the theme. The app will walk you through some steps to show you how to use it, but..
2. Select the Magic Lockscreen as your Home Launcher default. Then the app will ask you which launcher you want to use as your main launcher.
Screenshot:
Attached at bottom of post
I use the Rosie/Sense, and I noticed that doing this the way that the app tells you kept making Sense reset every time I hit the home hey. To fix this, I use Home Switcher (free on marker) and selected "Set as default" for Rosie/Sense launcher which fooled the Magic Lockscreen into staying active when I love my phone, and fixed the issue with Sense. It actually runs very smoothly for me.
Not sure what it's like if you use another launcher if that may have problems with resetting so often either, in which case, try Home Switcher and choose set as default for your launcher.
Works On:
InsertCoin 3.3.x - Working reported by tjd319
CM7 Alpha 9 - Working with slight flash before lock and after unlock reported by dvandit21.
ENERGY (Oct 18 Version) - Working reported by dansharpy

Work on CM7?
Also works perfectly on Energy (18th oct version, not tested on 22nd oct version)
Thanks for the guide, looks awesome, especially in fullscreen mode!!
Thanks for sharing, works great with InsertCoin 3.3.7
Working on Energy Oct 22, but it's noticeably laggy. The built-in ICS lockscreen that certain ROMs like Bulletproof have is much smoother.

Very pretty lockscreen, though I still preffer sense weather's one.
I will definitively use it with MIUI later
Laggy and kinda ugly...
Seems like a very low resolution lockscreen. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

I would use the ICS lockscreen if it was FAST and had sharper resolution. It looks neat, but just cannot stand a laggy unlock. Is this what everyone is finding, or should I try reinstalling it?

i have the same thing like you, weird unlock each time, i think the probleme was the aplication and not instalation

So, I´ve been having the S for almost a week now.
I have the fullscreen calender list widget on a homescreen. And so far everything ran as it should. But yesterday Sense crashed while I was scrolling to that screen.
And since then I seem not be able to get it running as it was before.
Here is what I tried:
- Reboot (of course)
- Remove and add the widget again
- Remove the widget and place it on another homescreen
But the only thing that seems to be working is not showing all used calenders.
So, I suppose it might have somehting to do with the amount of entries in those calenders. Maybe too many or something.
Anyone else has that problem or know a solution?
I've had that in the beginning.
I'm now with the HTC for ~3 weeks and am connected to exchange, Facebook & Google calendars.
I didn't do anything to overcome this so it might be related to some kind of a "broken" meeting in one of those.
Try choosing only one at a time and then scroll and see if it works. if it does continue to add one by one to narrow the problematic one.
Sorry, forgot to mention that.
I can view every single one without any problem.
But when I view all of them together, Sense FCs.
Right now I am viewing all calenders but the weeknumber one.
Just to make things clear for me:
I'm using the agenda widget of there sense, is it the same with you?
Have you tried the Android one vs. The sense one?

the calendar widget is buggy.
I don't use it anymore since it makes my device to freeze.
I guess we need to wait for an upgrade from htc.
Try resizing it. When it crashes go back to screen that contains widget and quickly put finger on it as though you are going to delete widget. You should now get arrows allowing you to resize. Make the widget smaller. If it is then stable, resize back to full screen again.

but again, I used to have it too, but now it's gone, so I suspect it's related to a broken entry in the calendar and not necessarily the application itself.

Holy cow! That really did work!
Well, at least it´s not instantly FCing. So, let´s see if the problem will come back.
Thank you very much.
Yeah the calendar widget is buggy for me also. Resizing did not helped. I ended up using ICS calendar widget..
Happened to me on day one. You can remove the screen in the helicopter mode and then just readd it again.
HTC should really release an update.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
Until there is an update available you might use Business Calendar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netgenius.bizcal
I installed the update today, Software numer 1.78.401.2 and so far it seems the issue has been resolved. Haven't tested it for very long yet, but previously it would crash within one minute. I'll report back after at least a full day of use.
Update: The calendar widget hasn't crashed once since I installed the update so I can confirm the issue has been fixed.
Hey,
I have CM 10.1 - 4.2.2 KANG on PYRAMID;

There are several problems with apps where I do not know if the problem is in hw, system or app or other factor, so I do not know to whom contact:
1)I bought app Battery widget reborn and I could not resize the widget. It is problem of the app or of the OS? Some app I can resize like transport goggle widget.
2) Endomondo sports PRO - several times I could not track movement, time is running, but not distance. I have to restart the phone (app restart does not help:
I use third party battery.
- it is problem of GPS/compass or app or system or maybe 3G red?
Thanks a lot to help.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
1) If you use standard launcher, only widgets that allows the launcher to resize it can be resized. If you really want to resize your widget, install Apex Launcher or similar which allows you to force widget resizing. I don't know if CM's Trebuchet-launcher allows it, but Apex does.
2) That could be a problem with the GPS, yes. From what you say, it sounds like your phone don't connect with any satellites. If you are running/cycling in thick woods, that could be the problem, but correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's just a signal problem rather than a hardware problem.
look through the *system* tab in setttings it has a option for *resize any app* i use it and works very well x

Regarding 1) Ok, thank you. I changed launcher from Trebuchet to Nova and it works.
2)Well, I am just walking (so no quick moves so far) on the opened area no trees and close to the civilisation. Let me try it several times with the 4.2.2 version and gonna give you my experience.
