changed over to CM ROM.. still confused

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.

well the app drawer is not as fast as i would like it to be in HelixLauncher2 0.7b1 but it's ok. Thanks for the tips btw

3d app drawer on sense ui

I Hope I am putting this in the right place, if not I am sorry!!! I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3d app drawer that is on Launcher pro onto htc sense ui? If anyone knows of a way please let me know I will be greatful!!!!!!! [email protected]

No it's not

Just use LauncherPro.

I like the some of the htc widgets that sense ui has
there must be a way to port that 3d app drawer over

As far as I know the app drawer isn't an app, and it's part of the default home app. The reason LauncherPro has the 3D one is because they wrote that all themselves - they control EVERYTHING.

LauncherPro Plus has started creating widgets that are almost identical to the HTC widgets. As of now, only the People widget is released, but more are on the way.

I agree 100% and if anybody finds a how too I'd be interested in it too.
Could a theme change the app drawer?

No. It isn't possible. Move on to a superior launcher and get replacement widgets.

Are you sure about that? There has never been a mod to an htc app?

I have tried everything i can think of before and I could never get it to work is is a part of the home screen I would even settle for adw with 3d like I have with froyo on my droid

The people widget for launcher pro is it something that needs to be downloaded from the market or is it in launcher pro already. I didn't see under widget in launcher pro so I wonder if it needs to be downloaded from the market.

It's in Launcher Pro Plus, it's a paid app.

Sense widgets won't work with another launcher

Yes, I'm sure he knows that. That's why he wants to port a LauncherPro feature to Sense instead of switching to LauncherPro.

I did switch to a superior launcher... when I set HTC sense as my default. I've tried the others and bottom line I don't like how they look and I'm not going to go hunt down and pay for apps and widgets that are half as good as my HTC ones.
On here I've tried different themes, roms and all kinds of stuff, and I would really doubt that just changing the app drawer is impossible

Launcher pro (free and paid) allow you to have a 3d app drawer.

I was in the OPs shoes until the other day, you REALLY should give LauncherPro another shot because there are widgets out there better than HTC Sense's. LauncherPro Plus includes a people widget, Fancy Widget = HTC Sense's clock, pure calendar grid= freaking awesome calendar, Pure messenger = way better than friendstream... seriously you should check them out.

I will do that thanks for tip!

I had a 3d one similar to what the Nexus has on my phone.

[Q] Good Replacements for HTC Sense Widgets

Hey guys, i really love the AOSP ROMs, but i miss the sense widgets a lot. Anyone know any good replacements for them, especially the following widgets?
=>People Widget
=>Friend Stream
=>The Giant Weather Clock (there's a ton, i need to know which you think is the best)
=>Messages
PS - I do not want to install a launcher like ADW, GoLauncher or LauncherPRO, so keep those suggestions out. Thanks.

in my opinion the best replacement for the weather clock widget ist fancy widget
ty it out

Thanks, will try it. I really need a widget to replace the PEOPLE widget, i really miss that...

sry cant help you there because i never used that widget

Pure Messenger Widget replaces Friend Stream for me. It can also display Emails, Messages and Call History. Pure Calendar Widget replaces the huge Sense Calendar widget.

Android pro widgets does the trick for me when I go non-sense. Although the "people" equivalent is not linked to facebook, sms and etc.

Yeah, i am using that now. The widgets are not nearly as polished as those in sense,but they'll do.

I like the go launcher widgets most, they are near by to the sense ones, but unfortunately not useable without go launcher(except go weather widget, a nice replacement for the sense clock/wheater widget).

i prefer the go weather app for weather. it works without the need for go launcher. as for people... im still searching... btw, chk out agile lock if u want the lockscreen. it works well, no lag and like in sense, you can put custom lockscreen apps...

I use gosms pro for messages, really good imo

I use Photo Contacts Widget

Fancy Widgets is quite a good alternative for the HTC sense clock!

Try Nova Launcher as it has some edge over other launchers...

The HD Widgets (recently in that 10p sale) is very nice. I've used it in post #282 of the screen shots thread. Not as many skins as Beautiful Widgets, but still a nice looking clock.
Another clock I like which doesn't get much of a mention is WP Clock. It's more of a Live Wallpaper than a clock, but it lefts you have a nice, clutter free main homescreen.

Widgets on the lockscreen

Is it possible to change a app icon on the lockscreen to a widget?
more importantly the wifi hotspot settings button.

I think if you include it on the bottom of the 4 places that HTC uses, they should appear on the lockscreen
sent using HTC1S

The lockscreen only shows what app icons are currently in your dock, and since you can't put widgets in your your dock it won't work.
Try widgetlocker app if its something you really need. It's a paid app but worth it, lots of cool options.

Use WidgetLocker from Play market. It might have that feature.

Right now I'm using Notification Toggle from the Play store.. and there are several other apps that do the same thing.. Lets you put many different settings in your notification pull-down which you can access from lock screen

Jellybean lockscreen

Anybody know of a good mod or app to get the nice smooth jellybean lock screen on a touchwiz rom? I love the halo also really like jellybean notification pull down with email and text previews, but I gave horrible reception on those rom. Just looking if anybody has any ideas to help me pass the time.

Holo Locker works quite well, even allows you to pull down the notification bar while the phone's locked. I use it in conjunction with Nova Launcher Prime to achieve an AOSP look.
