ok so my dilema is i love launcher pro cuz of the dock features......but i love sense and rosie because of the scrolable widgets like the htc bookmarks and htc calendar widgest......forgive me if this a noob question and it can be done fairly easy.......can i have both? a launcher pro dock customizable to my liking and not lose the htc widget capabilities?
Nope HTC widgets only work for sense but buy launcherpro plus it has widgets like sense.

Same boat. Launcher pro 3d drawer is sexy. But I love my sense widgets

I had the setup of LauncherPro Plus, and the sense like clock: Fancy widget 1.30 (not in market due to c&d from HTC. Search for it). I had all the goodness of LauncherPro, with LauncherPro Plus' great widgets and the great sense clock
no but i like my friendstream and htc bookmarks and htc calendar widgets
ditch the friendstream... look up pure messenger (and enable the scrollable widgets option in launcher pro) albeit not as 'clean' or fluid...but better than giving up launder pro, imho
bookmarks and calender are located under launcher pro widgets
I think Pure Messenger is better than Friend Stream. And those other widgets you like there are exact replicas in Launcher Pro Plus. And he's creating new ones. Next one is the Friend Stream clone. There will be a news/RSS widget at some point as well. That's the one I want.

i think so too, just doesnt update as much
so thanks guys i guess i just needed a lil pushing......i set up launcher pro and pure widgets and beautiful widgets....a couple dollars later and im never going back to sense =)
lol np i needed a lil bit of pushing myself once i realized. plus that damn scrollable dock is the business!!! htc sense's launcher has always been ugly imo
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

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.

Hi guys,
I just move in to MIUI and I like its features, like Toggles and Dialer, and some Apps, like MIUI Music.
But I REALLY miss my gingerbread launcher, with that 3D effect and everything.
I have a Nexus S, and I tried the gingerbread launcher available on the market, but none of them worked (I cannot open the drawer, maybe some lib missing).
Does anyone know how can I get that effect or that launcher in MIUI Rom? I dont like Iphone like launcher everytime.
Thanks guys
Have you tried LauncherPro or ADW, both free in the market and have the 3d settings for the drawer.
Both adw and launcher pro work perfect with miui. I'm using adw ex and miui on my desire right now.

Hi guys . Is it possible to use HTC Sense widgets with Launcher Pro ? I have not been able to figure it out. Or do you have to stay on Sense .
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
You have to stay on Sense to use the Sense widgets. They require the Sense launcher framework to function. If you still want to use Launcher Pro, the Plus version includes widgets that are very similar to HTC's.
hi,

You can't use certain HTC widgets on third party launchers (Same for Samsung devices and Touchwiz launcher), because they are a part of the Sense launcher and only available to the Sense launcher. The reason you can see the other Android widgets across all launchers is because they are part of the core Android framework and thus accessible to all launchers. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.
