Hey, i just wanted to start a thread about LauncherPro themes. i change my phone's appearance alot so i wanted to see other people's ideas. please post ur dock backgrounds and app icons! here are screenshots of my phone
btw, im using lockbot pro for the lockscreen
Here's mine.
Only the main screen here -- found some nice, minimalist icons. Not using an icon background atm.
Anyone have good sources for high quality icons?
Hey - any reason you're using LockBot for that lock screen? You could get the exact same lock screen without needing the extra app by simply removing the "HtcLockscreen.apk" (if you're rooted, of course). Check around the Themes area for more info about the vanilla lockscreen.
I know this isn't really launcher pro, but I ripped the launcher icons out of here to use with LP.

I recommend you don't remove the HTC lock screen. From what I understand it will screw up the alarm clock.
No Lock is an app that does a great job of disabling the HTC lock.

Look at my post, I posted a port of Rusty Metal some where in the T/A section.
The lagginess of the app drawer scrolling. Maybe it's because I'm so used to LauncherPro but it just doesn't feel smooth. I really do like all the other aspects of Sense though.
Completely agree stop when you get to the end don't iust slow down. Very annoying.

What's the reason that Sense Widgets can't be used with 3rd party launchers?

If you guys bought beautiful widgets you will never look back at sense again weather animations again. that along with the new open gl weather live wallpaper is pretty sick

Bw is a poor substitute for Sense. Sorry, HTC has them beat and Sense 3.0 takes it to a whole new level.

Say what you will about touchwiz, but they got it right with the horizontal app drawer scrolling. I love that option in ADW launcher as well. I just wish sense gave you that option somehow.

I really don't like horizontal app drawers. I'd actually love a WP7 style list.
The one thing I don't like about Sense is the inability to remap the right button. I don't need the bloody personalize button there all the time.

At least that's possible with root. I can remap the right button to whatever I want. I don't think it's possible to have sense + horizontal app drawer, though, even with root.
I like the horizontal app drawer because unlike vertical app drawer, I don't over-scroll.
Agreed I really wished we could use launcherpros 3d app drawer. I like beautiful widgets but at the end its just not quite as elegant as HTC's sense widget.

Actually, there is a way to replace the app drawer, sorta by using another app.
I'll have to remember the steps...
There are a few threads about it. But I'm pretty sure its not possible.

I recommend go launcher ex over either of those. I never actually see anyone else recommend it though, but it's a drastic change from sense. It has a horizontal sliding app drawer and I never notice lag. You can do a vertical one as well if you like with it, though I dont see why. The only complaint I might have is the lack of built in widgets (it only has 2 right now), but they're adding more. However, I dont care about those anyways.

only thing I hate about sense is the fact that you can't use a wii controller with the phone

Yea, I used sense for a few days and found go launcher ex and haven't looked back SENSE. Folders, recent apps, running apps (task killer), 15 dock spots all customizable. I like beautiful widgets for the live wallpaper.

Hey guys. I'm in search of an animated flip clock, identical to the one found on HTC devices. After hours of looking around, I've decided that there is not one out there that flips AND looks just like the HTC one. However, after playing around with Better Alarm Clock Pro, I found that it has a working flip clock built into the app, but it cannot be used as a widget. This brings out the question: Can this portion of the app be ported so that it is a widget? I am rooted, on an Optimus V running Stock ROM with everything stipped, if it matters. Thank you.
Just use fancy widget, looks and flips pretty much the same

Fancy Widget with the H7C skin looks almost exactly like the sense flip clock.
Go weather's htc style widget looks close too. Just download go weather and then the skin for the widget.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
He wants it to flip too. Like the animation. This isn't currently possible according to fancy widget. It is in the FAQ on their site.
Fancy Widget Pro is quite good to pretend as HTC Sense clock, Retro Clock Widget is an alternative for simple flip clock
I believe the flipping animation is part of Sense UI... soo you can't exactly replicate that.
Anyways I understand it'd look cool for the first hour or so when you're looking at your widget to flip..
you'll forget about it later, and it'll cause to be nothing more than a battery eater.
I own fancy widget pro and am using the h7c skin, but it doesn't flip. Better alarm clock pro has a working flipclock built in and I just want to know if it can be ported?

Hello? Surely this is possible?
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
Try a LWP instead of a widget search the Marketplace for "Live Wallpaper Flip Clock" by Sergey Golovanov it is not bad and may accomplish the effect you are looking for.
Thanks for the reply, RifRaf, looking into it at this very moment. But my original question is still not answered. PLEASE can anyone tell me if it is possible to port it. I don't know how to develop apps or scripts or any of that stuff. All I know is that the flip clock is there, within the app, and I just want it on my homescreen.
The flip is part of htc's framework. Its not part of androids. Theres no way to make it work.

well I know I sound like I'm a dumbass here, but I know that the stock android system is capable of animated Widgets. I've used a clock with rolling animation, so I know that animation is possible. I also know that better alarm clock pro has the HTC flip clock. How can it not be possible to animate the flip clock as a widget? All of the image files are there, it just needs to be coded or scripted or whatever (I'm not programming inclined, obviously). If anyone can make a widget out of this, I would be happy to give them a few drinks.

If youre not programming inclined then why do you insist it can be done? I have been told by many developers, it can not be done. Talk to any sense dev, theyll tell you.

Look, if I had several hundred dollars to throw away just so I could get a damn flip clock....I am fine with my phone how it is. The flip clock is 100% possible, there was a working flip clock posted earlier in this thread. It just needs to be themed to look like the htc one.
I have my entire sense theme put together, I just need this flip clock widget to happen, so I can make it complete.
It doesn't really look like HTC Sense, but it flips...
Try out "Animating Flip Clock Widget" - it's free on the market. I'm sure the apk could be modded to look more like the Sense clock.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized the link posted earlier was the same widget. Oh well... but yeah, I'm sure it could be modded, but making it look exactly like the Sense flip clock, including weather, the dark background behind the tabs, etc... might be difficult.

So, I've been using Beautiful Widgets since Eclair. I was wondering two things:
1) What is a good, highly customizable, clock widget? Specifically one where I can use a non-system font to personalize it.
2) In general, without my specifications, what is your favorite clock widget?
Ultimate custom clock

Tried Ultimate Clock but ended up using Advanced Clock. I'll try Ultimate again but the interface didn't lend itself to picking a new font.

if you liked Beautiful Widgets you will Love Fancy Widgets. I would highly recommend you to try it out!
you should try beweather.
There is a big thread on Xda forums for skins for ultimate custom clock, beautiful widgets is quite good but I found fancy widgets to be a huge battery drain.

UCCW is awesome, but if you are on ICS (or using any of the ICS versions) the widgets don't refresh like it does with BW. IMO BW is the best in working wise, while customization goes to UCCW. I mean UCCW widgets do work, but they are a bit delayed. I think it has to do with the lockscreen. Not sure why though.

To give recommendations on this is going to be subjective to the individual. I used BW for a while, then switched to Fancy Widgets. I have used multiple other weather and clock widgets as well. I am running CM7 and my choice of clocks and/or weather widgets really depends on my theme of the week (or day). I like beweather as well and it goes great with a theme I have. I have 5 weather widgets (google news and weather included) that I switch up and the only pain I have is turning off or minimizing refresh times for weather. Is there anything in particular you are looking for such as weather only, clock and weather, 4x1, 2x1, etc?
Beautiful widgets released a big update. Give it a try again!

Beautiful widgets is a very good app. They jujst had a big update and their clocks have lots of customization, and they look identical to HTC Sense clocks/weather widgets
