I left the sense rom and now using Adams rom. But I miss the news widget that sense had were you choose what news source you wanted and you where able to scoll thru it from you main screen widget. Any know where I can get on like that or if there is even like other then a sense one?
I am looking for one too for my wife. Going to change her home screen from sense to GoLauncher or ADWLauncher.

Been there. Was there for a long time. And there are two apps I've found which replace the HTC News Widget.
The best one (though not free) is Pure News Widget (Scrollable).
You can select any feeds, or just select from your Google Reader RSS feeds, select just 1 source for the widget, or select multiple... and it looks very similar to Sense (there are skins as well, one of them being a Sense skin).

The second one I've found (which is free) is called AtomaRSS Scrollable NewsWidget.
It's great, and even looks a bit like sense, fully customizable (though I'm not sure if there is skin support yet). Only thing is that it is a bit more complicated to set up and whatnot, but still not very difficult.

Are there any Android widgets for stocks similar to the HTC Stocks Widget? I'm having a hard time finding a good replacement!

Anyone?
I just check google finance, that too rarely.
will be good to know which widget is the best.
Tried these? http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=stock+widget
Yep.
Stock Alert, as the name suggests, only allows for one stock. If you try to add a second widget for another stock, the first one changes too.
StockPrice Widget: I added a few stocks but could never get it to show any prices. It looks like it's a common issue as many others in the app comments are having the same experience.
I also tried "Stock Market Widget", but it had the same issue: no stocks ever showed up. It's a brand spanking new app (<100 downloads) so maybe it's not fully working yet.
I don't see any others with widgets, though plenty of them have people in the comments saying "needs a widget"
I guess there's no such app for stock Android eh? Man, the Sense widgets are just amazing.
I'd like to know too. At the moment I am using multiple instances of the Google Finance widget. Sub-optimal.

In all my searches, the Google Finance app never came up! I just tried it out and added a bunch of their widgets to my homescreen. Well... Compared to HTC's Sense UI widget, it's ugly and far from functional, but going by the lack of success in my searches (and lack of responses), I'm guessing this is currently the only way to do it on stock Android. Oh well.
I'm looking for a way to add a specific widget to my lockscreen. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing it.
Thanks.
Unless you are making your own lockscreen, there is no.such option.
It would kind of defeat the purpose of the lockscreen.
Look for flyscreen in the market.
Also try widget locker, you can pick from specific lock screens and add widgets

I looked into both of those... It seemed that they only allowed for certain widgets. Maybe I'll try em out.

Flyscreen allows all android widgets.
This is what you want my friend.
It allows you to put any widget & shortcuts you want on your default lock screen.
But it costs $0.99
I've tried it in beta form. Its a tiny bit laggy but it works.
Widget Locker:

Thanks to all for helping out. I tried both FlyScreen and WidgetLocker, but decided that I didn't really care for widgets all over my lock screen (alas, indecisiveness). That being said, WidgetLocker is far superior, so if you're looking for something like this, it's worth the junior bacon cheeseburger.
In my quest in finding a 4x1 battery widget wich looks cool on my phone and tablet, i could'nt find any.
So i've developed a beautifull 4x1 battery widget wich has a nice and adjustable gradient.
The app comes in two flavours: The free version only includes one widget where the (not so expensive) payed version includes alot more...even a full working binary widget.
The widget runs from android 1.5 up to 3.2 so its very suitable for Tablets too

Great app! But would love to know what launcher and theme u are using?
My theme is not really what makes that homescreen
I'm using ADWlauncherEX with a custom dock image at the bottom.
All teksticons are created with "TextIconCreator for ADW" (you'll find it on the market by that name).
The clock is from "beautifull widgets" and the toggles below the battery are from "Widgetsoid".
all together you can build this kind of screen regardless of wich theme you are using.
Check out Battery XL Pro
DiamondJinx what clock/date widget is that? It is awesome!!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Its called "WP Clock 2.0" I love it
Hey, do you plan to include other widgets or the ability to add my own widget? I love the battery, but would want to try other graphics.
Another one, can you add a third color for the gradient? I have things in mind like moving from black through green to white or something like this.
Cheers
Oggy
This came out kinda kool I guess.
Not able to run sony home on custom rom or whatever & wishing you had the the look of the new home stage?

W FXP CM9 & Apex Launcher
On FeraVolt ROM this homescreen, along with all the other colours, is available to use and they look real nice
With the Home Stage flattened into the image???
Please read before you post. eb
Home stage? whats that
Really? Are you being sarcastic?
I'm not sure how else to explain it, dock maybe?
Just to clarify, the screenshots above (top) are the actual wallpapers themselves and not just a shot from a device of an empty home screen. The dock is part of the wallpaper and not removable.
Stock based users probably would never have much need for something like this as Sony Home is usually present.
This would be more for custom use with launchers like ADW or more particularly ICS type launchers where it may be hard to customize or change the dock. In the bottom shot the launcher dock settings are set to "hidden" which is usually the case anyway w ICS-style launchers.
Its really just a simple illusion I through together in photoshop.
Anyone still not sure what it is should probably just download and look at them. What is that they say, a pictures worth a thousand words?
Hope this helps, wasn't trying to confuse anyone. eb
