I just tried the SPB 3D shell launcher and while it was nice, I think it lacks too many of the "normal" customization options to be worth the uncommon features it offers. What I liked the most of the whole launcher was the included note widget, which is a large corkboard widget with movable post-it style notes. I was wondering if anyone has seen a standalone widget that looks like that? Tried oh so many note widgets and found all of them to look like poop.
facing the exact sam issue.

I was wondering has anyone figured out how to place sence widgets on to the android home or any other home alternatives? This might be an old request but I can’t figure out if this is even capable.
try these...
beautiful widgets and pure widgets will get you.....
So far I have pure widgets and beautiful widgets, but I like the sense widgets more. And pure widgets only allows one messenger widget when I’m looking for an email widget and an sms widget

I really doubt it will ever work since they use parts of the sense frame work to run. So you like 3 screens instead of 7 covered with stuff? I never understood why people don't like sense. I looked at several other android phones before I bought mine and sense was the deciding factor. I really wish I had like 10 screens, but I hate how laggy open home is.
Hello. I've recently flashed cyanogen mod and i was interested on widgets similer to the HTC Stock, as calender, Watch , Weather. Could you please give some suggestions? I'm tired of looking to this apps i dont find anything interesting. :\ I've installed the launcher 0.3 as many suggested, its a great app.
Thank you.
apparently 'beautiful widgets' is a must have app...
not interested in it myself. i like the simple look, without extra consumption of resources.
Beautiful Widgets for the clock/weather. also weather widget donate. that one is a pure sense copy but can be buggy. beautiful widgets it a little off the style but works without fail.
For just the weather, i've never found any widget that is up to par with the sense ui one. there are some that are close, but nothing as good.
Pure Calender widget is the best one for the sense calender
as far as stocks, not sure if theres any widget for that. though there might be.
I was told about LauncherPro and loving but the HTC widgets are not in the list while I am using LauncherPro, is there a way I can get the widgets on there?
Thanks,
Josh
Unfortunately the HTC widgets only work with the Sense UI interface and home screen. Once you use a 3rd party home program you lose the ability to add HTC Widgets. I use Helix 2 and find that the usefulness of the program outweighs the need to use HTC specific widgets.
Damn, well thanks Angry.
Does anyone know of any good alternatives to the HTC clock and mail widgets, if there are any good ones, than I will definitely stick with LauncherPro.

Looks just like the HTC version. Does it do the same thing with the weather special effects?

Test-driving Beautiful Widgets with Launcher pro. Looking for my weather animations....
I use ADW Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, Agenda Widget, Pure Grid Calendar, Pure Messenger, Pure Music and Visual Bookmarks to replace most of the Sense widgets.

HelixLauncher 1 and 2 are also home replacement options

I just modified the Power Widget that's part of this MOD as per the instructions in the thread and it works perfectly and looks better than the Switch Pro widget.
I love the stock sense ui, but I really miss the scrollable dock I had on my launcher pro ui setup. Anyone know of a mod that will replace the sense dock with something more launcher pro-esque without sacrificing access to the sense widgets?
Thanks

I know this is like beating a dead horse and yes I do understand that for some reason people like Sense that much more....but what widget is it that you really want that is available in Sense but not Launcher Pro? I say this as someone who was a huge fan of Sense until I actually set up Launcher Pro with the dock and icons and widgets I wanted at which point I could never see myself going back to (at least the current version of) Sense.
Rather than starting the old debate, I mean this more as an offer to help you find a compromise.
I had launcher pro on my epic before I took it back, and really loved it, it was the lite (free) version, so have it didn't have all the widgets avail on the donation version.
I love the live weather clock, the book mark page, the enhanced music player, and the friend stream feed.
I actually just looked at the widgets you get with the donation version, and they seem to cover every thing but the sense clock. Are there free apps that will provide equivalent to the htc sense apps that I could use with launcher pro?

for a sense clock download fancy widget from the market. works exactly the same, looks exactly the same
There are quite a few weather and clock apps. Beautiful widgets stands out but there are others like Fancy Widget as well. The bookmarks I'm not sure about since I use my browser's bookmarks. There is a Friends widget with LP but I never used it since those kinds of widgets demolish battery and I prefer to just check that stuff from Facebook or whatever. There are quite a few music widgets as well and many are much nicer than the Sense one as well.
Honestly your best bet is to get the full LP. It's a very good app and worth the tiny price. Between their widgets and all of the ones (free and paid...mostly free) in the market, there shouldn't be anything getting in your way. I'd rather just pay for LP and have all of my options than try to hack Sense to be as flexible as LP. Sense is a decent bit of polish on the base Android OS if you like how it looks but it is hard to customize and it is missing some of the best parts of third party launchers. Check out the screenshot and LauncherPro threads in this subforum and you might just find some things that make Sense look boring.
If you really do need something from Sense, you will probably need to give up the scrolling dock but there are some nice themes to make it at least look better than the default scheme.
Thanks guys, the info is exactly what I needed

Did a search for 'fancy', 'fancy widget(s)' and didn't see anything relevant, is it listed under a different name?

I have the horrifically performing HTC One X and on the recommendation of some XDAers I have grabbed Apex launcher. I quite like it, but it appears to be lacking some widgets. Power control from sense I really like, which has wifi/brightness/gps/update on it. Also the clock which shows the date and location on there although that isn't really needed. Then it has ringtone toggle which goes between sound/silent/vibrate. I really do use that quite a lot.
Anyone know of any widget packs which have a wide variety of widgets? I have tried beautiful widgets, don't much like it and doesn't have any toggles, HD widgets doesn't have many and the clocks are crap.
Currently I'm using Elixr
