Just a quick mention to anyone who wants the 3.0 Lockscreen and don't have it, maybe you're using a custom rom or haven't yet upgraded to 3.0 and fancy the look and features of the lockscreen that you search for Agile Lock.
Agile Lock emulates the 3.0 lockscreen perfectly and even offers the ability to customize icons, colours, fonts etc and even the ability to add Widgets. (Much like widget locker).
The irony is that I found this app the day before the 3.0 update was released.
Anyway, I can't link to it as I don't know if it's freeware. But anyone fancying it should definitely take a look.

Hi,
i switched from the DESIRE Rom`s to CM and i`m pretty happy so far, but i still want some things i miss:
1. an app drawer that moves quicker.. i mean this one is nice and 3D but so slow to scroll!. I looked for spare parts but it seams there is no standalone app for the N1
2. Other than the iphone style lock screen and the pattern one, can we get something else? Maybe the Desire Lock Screen?
3. Is there a way to install the Desire Mail app and Clock (the one with weather and all)
thanks!
1. look up helixlauncher, one of them on the market is a drawer.
2. check out lock 2.0
3. I'm not sure about these.

The answer to #3 is no.
1. HelixLauncher, market or on this forum. Just a simple push or install of an APK.
2. Lock 2.0 or Lockbot, both on market. Search for "Lockscreen"
3. I'm not too sure what you mean but which mail app are you talking about? Check out Pure Messenger Widget and for the clock, check out "Beautiful Widgets" or "Weather and Toggle Widget" or something like that. (I actually forgot the name of this one)
Well i`m using helixlauncher2 and the app drawer is slugish.
As for lock 2.0 it's iphone style
I would have liked to have the Mail app from the desire ROM, because it was really good. but installing the apk does not work
Well thanks for the answers

Helix Launcher 2 IS quite slow, a newer version in on the way thats better but if you use Helix Launcher (NOT 2) it is the older drawer style and much faster.
LockBot allows you to use several lock screen styles including the Desire/Hero style one
Weather Widget Donate and Beautiful widgets both provide a similar clock to the desire one and support skins so you can customise them.
Or use HelixLauncher2 0.7b1 - just as fast as stock.

i am currently using the virtuous 2.5 rom and have been trying out skyraider vanilla and wanna switch to it except i cant seem to give up the clock widget. is there anyway to get it on the other roms? i prefer other roms to the stock sense i just cant get over the clock as weird as that sounds.

No not weird at all. I'm the same way. At last some one that understands. I've been using Beautiful Widgets very similar. Not the clock and weather toggle. I bought that and it wasn't quite up to par. No raindrops on the glass or clouds and thunder. Beautiful Widgets was worth the money though. I was going to check this Digital Clock out too. Just haven't yet. If you try it let me know how you like it.

The sense widgets REQUIRE sense framework and the rosie launcher.
There was an app that was pulled from the market called 'Fancy Widget'. All I will say is that it was pulled via C&D by HTC themselves for being 'too similar' to the proprietary clock widget you are looking for.
"Fancy Widget" Google is your friend.

Yeah Fancy Widget is the one run by the Weather and Toggle app you have to buy to make it run. Not really what the sense clock is like. I liked the Beautiful Widgets way better. You can play with different skins till you find one that suits you and the Boca weather skin is just like the sense weather.
Actually. That is not correct. Fancy Widget is different and you can Google it. I use it because you can set if to update more frequently. If the stock app updated every 30 minutes like you can set Fancy Widget to do I would still be using it...

what about other HTC widgets? I would love to use LauncherPro but I have to have the HTC Photo Album widget to show off my new baby girl. I know there are other photo widgets and I have tried almost all of them but none can compare to the HTC. Please help I am sick of using the rest of Sense....
Every HTC specific widget cannot be run on any Launcher except Rosie and cannot be ported without making an exact replica with the same images like Fancy Widget. People need to realize this and stop asking.
There is a separate Widget named Fancy Widget, it was pulled from the Market, because... IT IS EXACTLY the same as HTC clock, they literally copied the images. It is wonderful, a little more flexible, and can be setup to check more often, and launch whichever clock and weather app you choose when you touch.... Only thing it does not do is animations. Google "Fancy Widget apk" and really look as stated prior if you want the HTC clock...
If you want something attractive, slightly different, and still free check out
Weather Widgets (yr.no) http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ermesjo.yr I switch between this and Fancy Widget based on how I am feeling lol
As for anyone missing other HTC widgets... support Launcher Pro and purchase Launcher Pro Plus, the widgets are very comparable... and the guy has written a wonderful piece of software... so pay the 2.99!!
I just downloaded Fancy Widget 1.3 and it is basically the same exact thing as the HTC Sense Clock widget but it allows you to configure what application it launches when you hit the weather icon, date or time. I just installed it and haven't seen if it does the weather animations but I could care less about that.
Can I take some htc widgets and put them on my mothers lg optimis s? I have no clue how to get them. Please help thanks!

No, I believe HTC widgets are proprietary designs owned by HTC. One good option is download Launcher Pro from the market and follow the instructions in the preference menu to purchase Launcher Pro Plus. It includes some very nice sense like widgets (calendar, messaging, friends, twitter, facebook, bookmarks..

Ya but I want widgets like calculator or the weather clock with full screen animation
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you want a weather clock with full screen animation, you have two choices. Beautiful Widgets has a weather clock, weather only widgets in varying sizes (1*1,2*2, ect...) And Weather Widget Donate (there's a free version but the paid one allows you to skin the clock) I have both, and in my opinion Weather Widget Donate's fullscreen animation is more sense like. As for the calculator, download one from the market. You cannot take HTC sense widgets and put them on a non HTC phone (at least legally and I won't help anyone do something illegal) You can find perfectly suitable replacements in the market. Your last option would be to root the phone and install a custom rom, some of them borrow heavily from sense. I don't think they include the actual widgets that you are looking for... If it's such a big deal, get an HTC phone.

Sense 3.0 Lockscreen app working on any AOSP ROM.
http://t.co/IqGPFJl
App is in the market and felt like sharing with you guys since I couldn't find a solution when searching .
Thanks to SUNPENGFEI for that app
Link takes you to Android market

Do you know if the paid version unlocks all the settings? And does it have a weather animated background for the lockscreen like the actual Ring lockscreen
I was wondering if there is a way to put the weather on the lockscreen for the SK4G, my wife is jealous of the lockscreen from my HTC Sensation. I know the sense roms have the nice looking weather, and I've found stuff like WidgetLocker and Agile Lock that allow a widget on the lock screen, but was hoping for more like the sense screen. Anyone have a clue how to do that?
That would require having an entirely working AOSP style screen to be able to apply widgetlocker widgets without lockups and random failures, and then finding a similar to sense weather widget.
Use widget locker, beautiful widgets and a sense themed lock from the widget locker themes thread
