Favorite widgets? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Thanks to god and amazing devs we got 4g on our evo's now while on cyanogen. I can go back to it without feeling like im wasting $9.99 a month haha
I never really have used launchers before and all i see are these screen shots with ppl and all these amazing clocks and other widgets. I was wondering if any of you guys wanted to post your favorites or ones youve used or are using.
Figure this would be a nice place to show a little on your setup without having to type a paper explaining it all.
Thanks guys

I'm personally a fan of SimiClock and Mnimalist Text But check out the LauncherPro and ADW EX screenshot thread for more ideas. Also, my blog has a post on minimalistic widgets if that's your thing

Yea when I use aosp I used beautiful widgets because of how many options they have. There is a live wall paper clock that is pretty nice, if I wasn't on my phone I could tell you the exact name of it. It's on xda somewhere it was in one of the news articles.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

wanting this theme

sorry if i am making to many post lol i am just so excited that i got this stuff down lol well right now i have the galassia rom and what i am trying to do is pretty much turn my phone into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846797 same home screen and everything the OP said its a apk but does not list a apk at all anyone know where i could find this? or even the same wallpaper and widget
I can't tell for sure but it looks like that's actually a skin for fancy widget. maybe you have to install fancy widget and look in the themes.

What is up with LauncherPro?

I love it, paid for it, and use it every day. Why can't he keep his customers and the community updated on progress? How hard is it to post updates on the website? I'm sure he has time to do it more than once a month. Anyone else agree? Just kinda frustrating...
All I am asking if for some one line updates every once in a blue moon.

LPP all ready has **** loads of functionality runs fast and smooth (for me at least). It only had abig update quite recently.
I can't say for certain but I imagine a lot of time and effort goes in to getting apps ready for us peeps that have no coding or dev knowledge.
Things are ready when there ready if you impatient create your own launcher

Right now Fede is actually re-coding the entire launcher from the ground up, so don't expect any new features or anything until that gets finished. The transitions update was mainly to keep the competition with ADW EX.
Also as the launcher is (for most people, myself included) flawless, it isn't like he needs to release bug fixes or anything.

I have no problem with him or the program. He teases an update in a week on the website and then we get nothing for a month. Is one line that hard? I know he is recoding the entire program, but customer service is key. If he wants to make money and thrive, he needs to keep his people in the loop.

Right now, the only thing LP has on ADW is custom docks. If LP would incorporate drawer themes like ADW does, it'd be perfect IMO.
If you are not happy, feel free to switch to another Launcher
I think he is not out to make money, if you notice the free version has got all the features except LPP widgets. Why don't you send him an email rather than vent your anger here (probably he won't read this anyway)?

Agreed.
I can't believe you actually started this thread, it's pointless.

I switched from LPP after his last sabbatical of updates. He felt pressure from ADW when those videos about the transitions came out, and hadn't had an update for two months.so he put out a "bug fixes and new drawer" thing or whatnot. Then ADW came out with their update right after with transitions. Then Fede came out with a small update with the transitions. Only to be topped by ADW with the ability to customize your dock.
Only thing that HONESTLY is saving Fede...is the widgets. It's the only thing people talk about in the threads, the market, his site, are those. And I'm sure if signals23 wasn't theming them..people would be over them as well.
Bottom line [not judging either], if ADW gets Colorize to work strictly for them [since lpp wont] between those widgets..and adw will simply trump lpp. Theres not much Fede can "rewrite"..honestly. In November he started the rewrite.. December said it'd be here before christmas... Pushed it to new years. Then MLK weekend. Then February. Well..it's almost March...

He certainly got a point there. I am too a customer of LPP and I really love this Launcher because of the smoothness, the Widgets and everything. Always fall back to LPP. But I feel pressure coming from ADW, and GO Launcher seems to develop quite good as well, on top this one is free.
The last few Updates to LPP were rather minimal and not really satisfying. Sure, transitions are a nice addition, but oh well... The Widgets certainly could use a touchup / improvements, whilst the customizabilty needs more variations as well as the App Drawer.
I would LOVE to see the final product of Fede with his rewrite. I am 100% certain that it will kick ass, but that only makes it harder for me to wait.
Not sure why this is pointless. Just as pointless as the "What's your favorite app" threads that pollute this forum. I can vent just liked anyone else. Just as you did...

This is absolutely pointless, just like the "What's your favorite app" threads are absolutely pointless and people like you need a journal to write in or something.
No one cares what you think, and especially no one wants to hear your whining. No one cares what your favorite app is either or whether you like chocolate versus vanilla.
If someone has something constructive and worth while to discuss, that's perfectly fine, but when it comes to *****ing, whining, and random, meaningless opinions and/or preferences, no one cares.
Saying its okay for you to do it because everyone else does is no excuse. Like your mother said, If everyone else jumps off a bridge are you going to do it too?

ADW Ex now has custom docks. At this point, it's not so much features that make the launcher decision, it's the user's preference. Personally, I like LPP's implementation of dock scrolling better than ADW's. The widget implementation is better looking on LPP, as well. Even the screen animations look smoother and better put together on LPP, even though they're a new feature.
So we'll come to a point where features will be identical, but it looks like people will be paying attention to which one has the more solid programing rather than features.
LPP is one of the best launcher out there.. if you dont like it, you can simply switch to another..
LPP is great. I too am very eager to see the new rewrite, but I understand it takes time to get finished. I'd rather Fede spent the time making it as awesome as it can be (and I have faith that it will be quite awesome) than pushing it out as fast as he can.
That being said I would love to get a somewhat accurate idea of a release date or even a feature list... but yeah, should be good when it's ready.
I used to be a LPP fanboy too until I got caught up in too many unkept promises. Might as well just do like other app developers and not promise anything and just surprise us with an update in the market.
Home replacements and apps like these shouldn't have "changelogs"
The only thing stopping me from leaving LPP is the Friend widget and the calender. Pure Calender does not have that same view where you can flick to the next month, and it's ugly. Colorize does not have a combined view of facebook and twitter.
LPP's performance is top notch, and I don't need much more from a launcher than that. The widget resizing and the dock options are nice too. I haven't really used ADW much, but whenever I had to use it initially after installing a new version of CyanogenMod, the thing was always sluggish.
I don't know, I paid for what I got, and I don't mind if there's no new feature updates. Considering the value I got for LPP, I don't mind if there are no further feature updates.

Then quit *****ing... it's pretty simple. If you can't do a better job then how are you going to tell him how to do something you clearly have no knowledge of?
It's not like LauncherPro is this man's main source of income. I'm pretty sure he's got a life outside of writing an app that may take priority (like almost every other dev/coder/developer).
If you're unhappy then switch launchers.
Launcher Pro has (last i check but i could be wrong since i don't specifically read up on changes for ADW Ex) another advantage over ADW Ex that keeps me loyal besides the calender widget.
It's the ability to hide apps in the app drawer. That definately helps to keeps my app drawer neat and tidy.

[Q] Sense UI No Border Widgets?

Have the inspire 4g, am a new root user, as well as new to xda and these forums so pardon me if I ask something that has been answered before, but i have been trying to look for a way to get rid of the black border on the HTC widgets. I think it would look really great having no black background on the weather and clock widgets including the other many many many fantastic HTC widgets seeing as you will be seeing more of your background and visually, it will look more spacious. Is there no theme on the inspire that has this feature or should I say, NOT have this feature? I have searched and have not seen one with just the background gone. Usually with the very few that i have seen with the background gone, there are just complete revisions to the other parts of the widget which I do not like. I'm not degrading anyone's work by any means, I applaud all the modders that make these sensational themes, but I'm just surprised I have yet to find one with just a clear background of the sense widgets compared to the fantastic yet over complications that I see people put into all these themes I have seen!
P.S Sorry if I put this into the wrong thread. Please do say something so next time I will know!

no MIUI? no Problem! there is something to fill in the GAP!

Hi Customization freeks! Howdidoo?
It’s quite long we are waiting for MIUI to be ported to our fav SGT. But seem’s like things are pretty slow. So, there is something I come across the market to fill in the GAP.
Yes, It’s again a Chinese Theme based application works pretty well on upto 4.3” screens but do not disappoints the 7 incher either.
I wonder how XDA Developer.com did not focus on this application. Here’s the market link.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sskin+butterfly&so=1&c=apps
The previews of the themes are in Chinese but when you apply the themes, they adopt the system language. Well, I really don’t know for the other languages but yes for the English. At least 15 themes are free and there is no sign anywhere on the net that, someone must have uploaded the paid themes. I guess this application is new and will do wonders gradually.
Apart from this, I would like to suggest few more fancy applications which you guys must be well aware of for those who are not, try them.
Go Keyboard,
Go Contact’s,
Go Weather,
Battery widget viewer,
Circle Launcher.
I hope this will keep you busy until MIUI pops up
So what exactly does it theme? Is it a replacement launcher?

seems like there are people like minds. only difference is i play with it and stay awake, you play with it when you don't get sleep.
i wish someone could've updated the paid theme's they are sexy specially the rain theme.
It's slow, and the customization options that you have is even less than Zeam. You can't even set it to have more rows x columns in the homescreen, nor can you resize widgets.
And it looks Korean since most of its themes are based on Korean artists.
Thanks mate! Butterfly Launcher + [SSKIN] Liveback_Sense looks perfect

yeah man its cool. i like the flip of the theme. it's pretty fast on my tab i wonder how come its slow on other users as mentioned above. some people do not reboot their tabs as a result they become heavy. a reboot is a must in a day.

Thanks i grabbed this yest and really like it. very smooth and fast. and really like the gestures. I reallly wish there was a way to incorporate more gestures without rooting- but thats another topic i guess.
I am not sure it is just me but some widgets dont appear in Nova but do appear in SPD shell. like the s planner widget. Am i missing a setting or something? I had to pull Jorte calendar out of moth balls as a backup..but was just curious.
Anyway really like the smoothness even with 8 home screens set up full of widgets. :good:
