Sliding widgets from Explorer? - HTC Desire S

Do you guys know if we can get the sliding draw widgets from the htc explorer on the desire s? I really like their simplicity but getting an explorer would be a serious downgrade I don't want to make.
They are the 1x1 widgets that open to become 1x4 when touched.
Skip to 1.45 to see what I mean.

Surely there must me widgets like this for phones other than the htc explorer?

These are not widgets, just one 4x4 widget called Quick Launch. It's in most sense 3.5 ROMs. Use Endymion, it's there.

Awesome thank you!

Sense widgets to flash

Hey guys I was wondering if it was possible to get the sense widgets on cm7
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Shot answer, nope. Not a chance.
Longer answer: You must have the HTC framework in addition to the HTC Sense launcher. Neither exist on CM7, so no widgets.

Sense Weather Widget?

Hey guys i am using Go Launcher Ex and i am trying to install the Sense Weather Widget, i cant find it anywhere...
I am afraid that sense widgets only work with sense. Using alternative launchers you will have to go without them....

Making wallpaper scroll again?

On pretty much all android phones, the wallpaper scrolls as you navigate left and right through your screens. On the sensation however, sense 3 fixes it since you can scroll all the way round. This is annoying. Before I rooted and flashed my phone, SPB shell allowed scrolling wallpapers again, even though that too can go all the way round your screens. Since flashing though, it's fixed, even with the non standard launcher. Is there any way I can mod this without changing roms?
The only way to re-enable it is to use a different launcher.
eg Launcher Pro
Most launchers have an option to turn wallpaper scrolling on and off. Unfortunately Sense 3.0/3.5 doesn't
I know sense 3 and 3.5 doesn't, but my spb shell launcher used to scroll until I flashed a different rom.

Does anyone know why it won't scroll any more on my different launcher? It did before I flashed any roms, but I don't see why a rom change would stop a completely different launcher from behaving the same as before?

Try wallpaper wizardrii but not with sense launcher

The qHD screen is capable of 1080x960 scrollable wallpapers but HTC ruined everything with its carousel thingy (pseudo-3D transitions).
Sense 3.5 would have been the best rom ever if it didn't have this limitation
Perhaps the next Sense with ICS will have back scrollable wallpapers...

Thanks, I'll give it a go, not using the sense launcher anyway.

Tried it, it's an editor. It won't automatically allow my launcher to scroll wallpapers again, and it'll only work on static wallpapers anyway, live wallpapers should also scroll normally.

The clock? It's probably a skin of Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget.
Could be Simi clock.

That is exactly what the clock is--available Playstore--use it all the time
No this is a HTC widget, I think its called shortcuts & clock widget, I had it on my desire s with sense 3.5. Don't think that same widget will work on the One S, probably needs to be resized.
Sent from my One S
Oh damn your right, I have the bigger version on my phone now with clock. Moon and clouds are identical. It is Sense but exact widget doesn't show available on my s1 widget list.
Its only seen in Sense 3.5 phones.

It's a Sense 3.5 Widget, removed in Sense 4.0. You can't get it.

It's that a challenge? This is XDA. The only thing you can't get here is a noob to read, or search before posting.

htc quick launch widget
I found the name, I think its htc quick launch widget...I am using it on my rom now..but the rosie dock is transparent...somethings dont work though
Here is the link..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645918
@MadJoe: Two challenges would be to get the htc quicklaunch widget to work correctly and its themes. Also to get the different rosie/dock from 3.5/3.6. I have attached the picture.

Best free widgets for AOSP

As per title really, I'm thinking of switching to AOSP Rom as I fancy a change, but last time I tried it I missed the sense widgets, mainly clock/weather and calender.
I've had a look on the play store but don't want to buy one if I cab get better/free.
So, if you don't use sense, what widgets do you use?
Also, I've mainly kept sense as everything I've read suggests the HTC camera app is the best. Is this still the case? Any suggestions of other apps if I go AOSP?
Many thanks

I use the app fancy Widgets, it is free, and in my opinions looks better than the sense one. Try and see.
