Friendstream style app for ADW launcher EX - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I dont know if this has been asked already, but here it goes....lol
I am currently running Kings UNleashed Ultra R2 with ADW launcher EX. Now, does anybody know if there is a Friend Stream type app I can use with ADW? Even if it is something simular to the one used with Launcher Pro Plus...
Thanks....

"pure messenger widget" does the same functionality, but it's a paid app

Your awesome!!!!! Thanks so much.

You should make a poll for the favourite HRA - so we'll see which is worth trying
By request I've added a poll.

I just got my first android phone and i was wondering if these home replacement are apps you have to find online to download or would they all be in the market?
Don't forget LauncherPro Beta. Unless that's what you ment by Pro Launcher?

majority of these are in the market and are available for download. everyone has different taste because they do look different. I liked open home and panda home but then got hooked to GDE now using Launcher Pro which is pretty slick
Using GDE now. So far the most stable and fast for me. Wanted to try ADW but couldn't get it to work on my Milestone.....
I use Panda91...Like the 11 screens. Free. Uses any .png or.jpg as an icon. Uses icon packs from market. Free. Changing icons couldn't be easier. (Better Cut isn't free...)

I can't even apply ADW since Incredible is lacking root at the moment. I wish they'd release it as a APK like what was one with Helix.
I have tried many options listed here & my current favourite is Launcher Pro , it's the fastest among all listed here
freshface is a pretty decent home replacement app i stick to anderwebs launcher but before that it was freshface
I have used
Open Home
Launcher Pro Beta
Panda
Ahome
Home++
Out of all of them I like Home++ the best. Sadly is seems to be the least stabile of them all. Launcher Pro Beta would be my next choice. I'm looking forward to ADW Launcher being an install pack. I really don't want to replace my stock launcher.
Just tried Launcher Pro Beta. Actually not too bad.Still like GDE more for the extra features.
Im using LauncherPro on my legend. I like it alot.
I'm using Tag Home on my Moment. Before that, I was using Helix Launcher.
would it be possible to post a pic or 2 of all the different launchers

rosie dock to look like launcher pro but keeping htc widgets

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.

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

ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro

Which program do you prefer? And what is a feature that you like about the 1 you chose? I have personally used Launcher Pro which came with Fresh ROM on my Evo but while I was browsing the market I noticed ADW Launcher and seen numerous themes.

ADW for me
I keep coming back to ADW. The single feature I love over Launcher Pro is the swipe action. Nudge up and Notification Bar hides or shows. Nudge down and the notification bar opens. In Launcher Pro you have to set up swipe areas in the dock, too specific for me.
Just my personal preference...
Put me in the launcher Pro group.
I like to run a clean screen and its scrolling dock combined with folder organizer allows me to access everything I want quickly without the screen clutter...
YMMV

I prefer ADW because of the horizontal page by page apps scrolling. If LP did this I would probably use it.
ADW - Swipe actions ftw
One more vote for LPP. Paid version is well worth it.

Like the swype action of ADW. But I love the lp icons. Both are good

ADW lacks scrollable launcher bar.

launcher pro for me. somehow ADW app drawer seems to lag..
I started with ADW but moved to LP.
The smooth animations alone makes it a better choice for me.
I used too use ads but launcher pro is way better

Launcher Pro Plus. Between the Plus widgets and the Beautiful Widgets clock, I don't really miss anything from the Sense launcher.
I haven't really tried ADW, though.
I'm an ADW guy, the swipe actions are very handy. Also, the custom icon ability makes my home screen much cleaner.
Yeah, those are Launcher Pro icons, so I guess it's a bastardized ADW, oh well.
LauncherPro for me...I too love the scrollable dock. I don't like clutter
Noob question Im learning to use ADW coming off Launcher pro, how do you change the dock icons around or add new ones.
I started with LP then went to ADW when it was included in my ROM. Tried LP again because I love the scrollable dock but LP just seems to lag a bit on my phone. I don't know why
So anyways, ADW for me...........for now.
ADW for me. I like launcher pro but I've just grown accustomed to AdW more. Either way I don't think they're that much different to make a bad choice.

[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

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.

ADW EX vs. LauncherPro Plus

I am a LPP user, and I found out adw has a paid launcher out. What is difference in both paid apps? I love the sense like widgets and swipe gestures and the home screen looping is crazy on lpp. Does adw ex have anything like this? Thanks.
I switched from LPP to ADW EX and never looked back. I don't use the widgets from LPP, so they weren't a factor. I love ADW's screen transition animations and the ability to customize the icons down to the text captions.

youtube has several videos of ADW EX, ive not seen LPP yet, but the EX looks amazing...
