[Q] Widget like Sense Photo Album Widget - General Questions and Answers

Hello Everyone!
I've got an HTC desire, and recently flashed Cyanogenmod. But, the only thing that I miss from Sense UI, is the photo album widget, the one where you could swipe away all your photos. Is there any identical alternative to that, or is it possible to install it into my new rom? Ive tried some Google Play widgets, but not quite the same as the Sense's one

No answer?? At least, tell me some widget that is very similar to it? Thanks

Could someone give me a Suggestion

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.

Weather Widget on Desktop

Hello All,
I wanted to ask about weather widget. I recently upgraded to CM7 now I dont have HTC weather widget on my desktop to the left of the main screen. Is there a way to put this widget in. I tried using add from menu and add weather but it does not look the same. Its smaller in size and not full screen like the stock used to be. I have HTC inspire.
Please help me if you know the solution to this.
Thank you
As far as I know, once you flashed CM7 you overridden the stock HTC Launcher so HTC widgets won't be available anymore. You'll need to search for a replacement on the maket.
Fancy widget is a good replacement. You can also purchase fancy widget pro if you want the animations
You should search for fancy widgets to get the latest version. it's indeed a good replacement for both HTC weather and HTC clock widgets.
As a side note, if you're missing some of the other widgets like contacts, calendar, facebook and others, you can try my new application Android Pro Widgets (search androidprowidgets on the market if you want to, but it is a paid app).
Edit: if this is against the rules please remove it, advertising was not my intention but I now realize it might be interpreted otherwise.
The weather widget (and just about anything that relies on Sense frameworks) are gone in CM7. There are however alternatives/ clones available in the Android Market like and Animating Flip Clock Widget (not perfect but pretty nice).

[Q] Calendar Widget months scrolling

I have searched the web and the forums thin looking for a Calendar Widget with the same behavior as the stock Sense calendar. Im not talking about the Agenda one, im talking about the month view version of it.
I know about, and have tried Jorte, Pure Grid calendar and some other similar ones, but none of them has the behavior that i really like from the Sense one.
I want a calendar that ONLY shows one month at a time, and when i scroll up and down it should jump one whole month instead of scrolling smooth a week at a time...
APW Calendar sort of does it, but it does not support scrolling, it can only jump with buttons...
Can it really be that the Sense style Widget have not been ported to run on other launchers..?! Or that anyone haven't made something like what i'm looking for?
(I'm using ARHD 6.2.1 ICS with ADW Launcher EX, on a Sensation XE)

Widget by GoLauncher developers is really great - month scroll with nice UI. Anyway it works only in GoLauncher... maybe some1 would try to *something* it

Yeah I have tried that too, and i really liked it, but i prefer ADW Launcher to GO, so i was kind of hoping a calendar like that existed somewhere else
I use launcher pro and that had a similar widget ... really loved it.
Problem is that LPP widget does not work on ICS based roms. Once you try it to place the widget on the screen, it will crash and then LPP will continuously crash. There is no way to get LPP to work again without reinstalling the rom.
Am keen on getting a similar widget and sincerely hope that someone points me to one

Replacement for photo gallery

Is there a decent replacement for the Sense photo gallery widget?
I'd like to get the flexibility and customisation of a different launcher, but I cannot find any gallery widget as good as the Sense gallery. Actually, I cannot find ANY photo gallery widget. I would have thought this would be a no-brainer; a way of accessing all your pictures from the home screen?
If only Quickpic did a widget.
I use Slideshow (Homescreen widget). It's the only one i found that works somewhat close to the Sense widget.
QuickPic.

Quickpic, I had it on my G2, but now find the stock hTc gallery to suit my needs just fine.

Easily the best alternative! :good:

As great as Quick Pic is, the original OP said he was looking for an alternative that has a good widget. He even says in the OP he wishes Quick Pic had a widget so he already knows about that app.

[Q] Looking for Picture Widget similar to that in JellyBean 4.1

Hello All,
Can someone please point me in the direction of a Picture Widget similar to the one in JellyBean v4.1
I really like how you can have the widget flip through images that are assigned in a gallery folder.
Now that I am using a 3rd party launcher I cannot access that particular widget goodness.
T.I.A.
Which one? Any screenshot?
Hello webharsh,
I dont have a screenshot at the moment.
I wasn't anything fancy just a built(stock) widget that was nearly the size of a homescreen, displaying only one image at a time. The coolness was being able to flip through the images.
T.I.A.
I have JB on my phone bu there is no fullscreen gallery widget.
Are you looking for Sense Gallery widget instead?
Auhhh that could be it.
Is it as I described?
T.I.A.
I don't know of any other widget which can give you almost full screen photo widget.
But give a try to android stock gallery widget from any AOSP ROM (or CM10/AOKP). They are pretty .
Thanks webharsh!

Try using CM based ROM (bruce JB or AOKP) if you haven't used yet. You will be thoroughly amazed .
Coo!
Thank you!
I think you are talking about "Photo Album" widget..
See the screenshot.
If this is the widget you are talking about, then sorry to say you can't have it on a third party launcher. It's a Sense based widget and can only be use with HTC Sense.
Beamed from my beloved HTC Sensation using xda premium
Thank you anasmunir!
That is the exact widget I was looking for.
Sadness to be so close an yet so far.
