can we get the Incredible widgets on the X?

the contacts widget on the Incredible is very good. Is there any way to get them on the X? This is my 1st android phone, so I'm a bit of a noob.

No, the widget of which you speak is a HTC Sense widget and will ONLY work on a device running a custom HTC Sense version of android.
HOWEVER!
There are plenty of widgets already on the Android Market that are pretty much exactly the same.
"People / Contacts Widget" Seems to look exactly the the same to me, the only thing it doesnt do is scroll like the HTC version. If you are looking for that try..........
"Scrollable ContactsWidget BETA" which offers a scrolling option when used with Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher!
Good luck, and enjoy your new Android phone!

Anyone know of a good calendar widget that works in agenda view and has transparecy settings ? The stock one is garbage.

I think Pure Calendar Widget is what you're looking for.

The new Launcher Pro Plus ($2.99) is attempting to replicate all of the sense widgets, with the contacts one being done already. Check out if that's what you're looking for. I'm new and can't post links but google launcher pro plus and it'll pop right up.

Vertically Scrolling Launcher, does it exist?

Hi, I recently became infatuated with the winphone7 layout for android found in this subforum but realized that horizontal scrolling isn't that sexy....or fluid.
I've been looking for a launcher that scrolls up and down...vertically but only found Zune Home.
Anyone know of a launcher that will do this?
Thanks in advance for the help/suggestions.

aw launcher has an option

So does LauncherPro.

Obviously OP means launcher, not drawer..

Yes, the launcher please

I meant something 2D, sorry, didn't specify
_like_ zune home..but not just text
To allow to make it look like win phone 7

The problem I see, I have many widgets that scroll vertically, how would I then scroll the homescreen and not the widget?

True..I haven't seen any launchers..
But it's nothing a little ingenuity couldn't solve, implementing some multi touch gestures should solve that problem. I think lol.
But it appears I'm on a wild goose hunt.
I have to learn android coding >_

Moving wallpaper?

Does any one know how too keep the wallpaper from moving when you scroll through home screens? I would like to keep the image in the middle of the screen no matter which home screen I move to. I am still pretty new to this android fun
Thanks guys!

install an alternative launcher such as launcherpro or ADWLauncher and find the scrolling wallpaper toggle in the preferences and disable it.
If you are still using stock then one of those would be a pretty major UI change to get used to but once you get your Widgets and stuff configured you'll love the added speed and functionality.

[REQUEST] Special Launcher for Widgets

I have a lot of widgets and lot of them are fullscreen widgets.
They need a lot of space and a lot of homescreens and switching between that many screes is a hell lot tedious.
I would suggest some developer to try making a launcher with following feature.
Icons for widgets. Click the 1x1 icon to see the full widget.
Others may put their ideas too...

Replacing HTC Sense's home screen launcher?

Hey guys,
I'm all stock everything. I like everything about sense except that wasted home dock/ launcher.
Instead of replacing my launcher or my ROM, is there any way that I can replace just the home dock? I'd love to have shortcuts to my favorite apps on a home dock instead of need shortcuts above it!
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nope... Not that I know of. Only way to get dock icons is with an alternative launcher.

You could try ADW, same as CM7 uses. On my bar I have: Phone, Handcent SMS, APPS, Touch Calendar and Browser.
