Hi,
Does anyone know of a full screen Gallery widget that is available for the Note?
There was one on my HTC Desire that was really nice, you could scroll through the photos on any folder without leaving the front screen.
Doesn't seem to be one about, and the stock pictures widget is rather poo!

I've been looking for something like this for a very long time, and the closest I've found is one of the widgets in SPB Software's launcher app. You can only run it while using that launcher though, and that kinda sucks...
I miss this from my HTC Hero days. How come no developer thought about it?

I've been searching for a good photo widget to put on my home screen (im using launcher pro)
I can't seem to find a good one on the market. I am pretty much looking for one that is kinda like the HTC Sense UI one with the photos and you can set it to click on their pic and it takes you to their contact page.
basically looking for one that has somewhat large pics(at least the size of the sense one) and it goes to the contact view when pressing..
Doesn't seem like much to ask but I havent found one yet.
Anyone?
For anyone not running sense and miss the contact pic widget check out Picture Dial on the market.

no love on this? i cant find any either..
Just wondering if there are any launchers that is similar to Sense but without all the bloat sense has? I really like sense's favorites and friends stream. Does Launcher Pro do all that?
If you buy the full version of launcher pro, it includes a set of widgets that are modeled after the sense widgets. The calendar and people widgets are nearly identical, and the social network widgets are actually superior imo.

Sweet! Excellent first post their buddy!
What about Go Launcher? Does it have similar widgets as you described?

In the admittedly short time I've played with GO Launcher, It doesn't appear to have extra widgets. However, as mentioned before, Launcher Pro Plus has a contacts widget that you can set to show favorites. I highly recommend LP plus. I've been using Launcher Pro for over a year on every device I've had. I just can't find a launcher thats as smooth and bug free.

SPB launcher 3d

fancy widges and beautiful widgets are both good and give a decent sense like clock.
I would definitely recommend lpp. The widgets are quite similar to what sense has to offer, except I really like the sense news widget which lpp does not have. I have yet to find a similar news widget on the market that compares to sense, does anybody know if there is one available?

Here's a question, I'm coming to the bolt from the original Moto Droid. Lovin the Bolt but hate the Phone app, the moto would list frequently dialed number on the opening screen and you could search easier as well. Wondering if there is a mode that changes just the phone app. The rest of sense I like but the phone app drives me crazy!
I went ahead and purchased LPP. Running smooth. Next purchase will be beutiful widgets. Thanks guys!

You can use Go Contacts. This includes Go Dialer.
I do not like the HTC Sense dialer/contacts much either. Cannot wait for CM.
Has anyone got good suggestions for a replacement Gallery for the SGS2?
I find the installed one very irritating as it annoyingly snaps the columns of pictures to the centre of the screen and its sometimes hard to get the column I want!

Okie dokie... I found QuickPic on the Market which seems OK.
Any better suggestions?
Would another phone's gallery work? MIUI, Moto, Sense?
I use Quickpic and it works awesome for me.
I have had my Sensation for about a week now. Been playing with both Launcher Pro and the stock sense. Stock sense seems REALLY laggy and kinda buggy. I have been using Launcher Pro for about a year and a half or so and when I loaded it on here and customized it makes the Sensation come alive! If anyone out there hates the lag try Launcher Pro until HTC comes up with an update to fix this.
One downfall is you do lose all of the HTC widgets. The phone still functions the same. And your notification bar and everything else is still there. Just the widgets won't show up when using it. There are widget apps out there like Beautiful Widgets or others that are free.
Just wanted to post this on here. A lot of people talking about lag. This is a great fix for it and speeds up your Sensation to what it should be!
Not trying to pimp Launcher Pro. Just tryin to give suggestions.
Cheers!
Yup, I myself am using adw ex & the phone is now flying. Do miss the sense widgets though. Little bit of give & take I suppose.

I am using the EXACT setup lol. I always use launcher pro with beautiful widgets. Best combo for me.
I am also using launcher pro. I did get the plus version with the extra widgets. I am somewhat disappointed in them and not sure it was worth the price. However, LP runs great, better than Sense, and I use it along with fancy widgets.

It's fast for sure. I also use 5 row homescreen grid to fit more icons and widgets to certain screens. Plus version of Launcher Pro is definitely worth the money.
Me too
Ive done the same, ditched sense a few hours after unboxing, Launcher Pro Plus, Beautiful Widgets and Widgetsoid. Fewer FCs and much faster.
Doesn't sense still run in the background even if you use an alternative launcher?
+1 lpp working good for me with the combination of miui fancy widget.

Yes it does, there's no getting rid of it until we're rooted.
Home screens arr very smooth with launcher pro... But my app drawer.lags quite a bit. Same with adw
Anyone else use Folder Organizer?
I really don't like swiping. Much rather click. So I only use one home screen, with folders. Click, click, to access any app, shortcut or bookmark I want. Very fast, zero lag.
Folder Organizer has the advantage of allowing custom icons for the folders, so home page looks like a screen of apps, instead of a bunch or generic folder icons.
One disadvantage, can't link to a widget from inside a folder. But, 3rd party launchers have a similar issue, and I can still put widgets on other home screens if needed.
We have 2 sensations and both running BW and LPP. Our home screens are still not smooth in transitions and often laggy. This is on 2 tmobile sensations. My previous G2x was much faster and smoother.
Also I believe LPP is messing with my geolocation. Not sure how, but when I remove LPP I don't have geolocation issues(tells me I am in a different state).
I prefer Regina right now but I love messing with launchers
Idk what kind of setup you guys are running or maybe your definition of lag is different then mine, but I have no lag at all.

You have to keep it for a couple hours and it speeds up. I had the same issue and now its faaaast. I use adw ex. And I have the horizontal drawer.

i would love to use a launcher but I <3 widgets too much
Go launcher is the only one that works for me. Very smooth and snappy all the way around. Can't wait for s-off so we can unlock the full potential of this CPU.

I see... Idk if I can put if with lag for that long. haven't had a phone that lagged since my droid Eris. Honestly my droid 2 global was a little more snappy than the sensation. But that was oc'd of course.
Launcher pro is awesome but its still not as fast on the sensation as it is on my nexus one. It will prob be after root. Still, much better than sense.

Destop visualizer in sense
I have been an ADW launcher user for quite a while
on HD2 (2 of), Desire HD and now sensation.
But I have also been using Desktop Visualizer to add custom icons to empty sense pages - best of both worlds.
i also have ADW as a home page choice - have not set either as the default yet.
Only had sensation for 4 days.
I just got the sensation today. (I'm coming from nexus one running cyanogenmod). There's really only a few things about sense 3.0 that I like. The camera app, the lockscreen, some of the widgets, and the quick notification widgets (although I like cm7's implimentation MUCH better). Anyways I'm hoping that once the bootloader gets unlocked we'll be able to get cyanogenmod on it, but until then is it possible to get a few stock apps on the sensation?
The only things from sense I'd maybe like to keep in a more "stock rom" would be the camera app and the lockscreen. Everything else I don't really care for. =\
I want the these apps.
* Dailer
* Contacts
* Gallery
U don't like the smart dialer? It's leagues better than the stock dialer...

I made the same transition as you. At first I hated the dialer and contacts, but they've grown on me.
However that gallery does suck total nuts. You can go in the market and download gallery 3d which is (as far as i can tell) the standard gallery you're used to. I'm using it and it feels right at home.
I absolutely can't wait until we can have CM7.1 on this thing.
Also.. is it just me... or are you totally missing the trackball? I keep trying to adjust the cursor with it when editing text just to get disappointed that it's not there...

No...I hate it. I've accidentally called the wrong person already because it doesn't ask if I want to call. Also it isn't showing contacts pictures when calling? Wtf? It just looks ugly to me compared to the stock android dialer. The contacts app is worse. AOSP contact app is so much simpler looking and just all around better.

I hate the gallery app, it sucks so much. Also i've taken a few pics that auto upload to google+ and it shows the date it was taken as jan 1st 1970. WHatttt?
I've only had it for 8 hours so far, and i've already done that at least a dozen times. I used the trackball just for going back a little to make corrections. Going to take a bit to get use to, but in time I will.
I can't wait for CM7.1 on the sensation. Sense to me is just ugly. I like gingerbread's status bar, and the notification widgets in cyanogenmod so much better than sense...It's ugly. Also I don't see the point of putting the recent apps in the pull down bar....
Good thing for launcherpro plus
I am also hunting for the AOSP style dialer...initially when the MT4G came out and was rooted you could just push the contacts/dialer apk to system/app and change the permissions and it would work. I have had no such luck with the Perma-Temp root on the Sensation...

I'm in the same boat here and can't stand the dialer or gallery. Thanks for the tip on Gallery 3d Picked this phone up because it looks and feels just like a larger faster version of the N1 and I figure it will be rooted sooner or later.
The stock Gallery and stock Email
Both work,pm me if you want a copy of them

I guess it just comes down to what you're use to. I'm use to the 3d gallery because I've had the n1 since launch. I'm trying out quick pic though. Anything is better than the gallery app on the sensation. Sense really has left me a bit underwhelmed. The only things i'd want to keep from sense is the lockscreen and the camera app.

your right. I had n1 at launch too. I wanted to like the gallery cause it looked cool, but didn't function that well. Plenty times I has to reboot just for a pic I just took to show. I found Quick pic and been using it since
Lol @ that 3D gallery. I hated it on my MT4G and this gallery is cool IMO. Didn't like Touch Wiz on the Vibrant or Sense on the MT4G........flashed a 3.0 rom and loved it. So I bought a Sensation. I'm just curious to know why buy something you already know you don't like? To each their own.
