Hi,
I noticed that HTC removed their HTC News app and widget from Sense 4/4a.
Is there a way to get it working on Sence 4/4a ROMs?
And if not, what is the best replacement to its widget?
Thanks in advance.

Try the google reader app!
Also PULSE NEWS app is pretty good app!
Google currents is nice app also, but u'll miss the Widget!
Google weather and news app is nice app to!
There's plenty of useful news apps on google play store! (Market)

Thanks! But I couldn't find it in Market. Did you mean FlipSocial maybe?
BTW, I didn't mention it before, but I'm looking for app where I can add my custom RSS feeds, and able to add my gmail (Google Reader) account, the HTC News could do all that.
The Google Reader app/widget is actually a good option which I'm using currently, just looking for other option also
minimal reader
You can use minimal reader. it is good customizable news widget.

Try that http://db.tt/2z9VGWTj
You still get a News and weather widget in Sense 4/4a. Isn't that sufficient
Miniread- new kind of news reading experience
Try out MiniRead news app. It shows the news updates in moving text style like TV news channels shows on the bottom screen(News ticker style).
It is very much customizable mini window and can be placed anywhere on the screen.
Just click on any news highlight and it'll open up in browser or youtube app depending on its web content or video.
Give it a try.

Smooth calendar or grid cagebdar are neat. 3g watchdog (monitors your data usage) and apn Droid (disables and enables 3g data) are both useful if your data plan isn't unlimited. And genie widget is also quite good and has a nice app to go with it (news add weather) though you'll have to Google that one as it isn't on the market.
any suggestions for Messeage widget?Mail Widget? and Photo album widget?

Try Pure Messenger for the message/mail/texts
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a widget collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject? this is not the oldest thread on the subject, but the one with the most generic subject and maybe it could be turned into the last of it's kind...

I like the Ted Zkeletal clock widget, it's a nice change. It is quite large though.

you download from the market, then add the widget by long pressing the screen? of course you need to have sufficient space for it.
What version did you use? I just download 1.8 and the weather icon doesn't show up....

You're the first user of Android? HOLY CRAP!
OK, i have looked around, pretty sure there isnt one, but could be wrong... here is what i am looking for:
If i could find a "friend stream" (from HTC Sense) type app that would work without the sense launcher i would be in heaven!
Requirements:
have a running stream of facebook and twitter updates in one place
ability to post to FB and twitter at one time (obviously would be the same message)
Would like to easily retweet/repost/reply
Would REALLY like a widget
must NOT be a battery drainer
would like it to look nice, but this is on the bottom of the list for a reason
Man.. really seems like this should be out there somewhere but i cannot find it.
As always, you help is much appreciated! TIA
Try Pure Messenger Widget
I would also like a alternative app because every time I open friend stream, It force closes on me EVERYTIME!!!
Pure Messenger is actually a lot better than Friend Stream. I'd use it instead even if I was running the Sense launcher.

Using what app?
So, here are my thoughts... Socialite is really cool... But not quite as solid at this point as what i would like but MAN its got HUGE potential.. I REALLY like it but it didnt seem to update and i really didnt like the fact that FB and Twitter were on 2 separate tabs... but other than that.. this is AWESOME (oh and it needs a dark theme but really no biggie)
i did reinstall the PureMessenger and although not as "cool" as Socialite, its solid, works great, and does what i need it to do! THANK FOR THE TIPS!!!
yes, using friendstream ;-)

There's also the Android Pro Widgets, which you can have a widget that does Twitter and Facebook at the same time. That's the one I use. Drop it full-sized on a page and drop the transparency to 0. I've done that with all of the widgets APW provides and I love how they look and operate.

+1 on Android Pro Widgets They have a solid widget pack and work better than Sense stock in some way and have added functions. I only have Facebook mapped and there I can see a small thumbnail of posted pics, links, etc see only my wall, post comments or post status updates on the fly.
Gonna play with the transparencies, thanks for the tip
I gave up trying to find one for my milestone. But now ive finally bought launcherpro plus and want a good widget to stretch.
Has a good reader/ widget been released? I like atoma a lot but it refuses to update for me.
The two best reader imo are news rob and newsroom. I use newsrob now because I like the greader sync. As a standalone i think newsroom is the best.
They dont show screens of the widgets.
Search feed juice in Android Market

I dont like feedjuice. Not mature enough yet. I use feedr now, but their widget design could be better (the arrows are ugly and color too dark).
You may like either the AnyRSS Widget or FeedR from the Android Market. I use FeedR myself.
Try BuzzBox... It has several widget sizes...
The best rss reader I've found is "Pulse News Reader" (free in the market, no ads!). I just found it yesterday, and it is the best rss reader I've tried on Android. It has 2 widget options with pics, and can show full articles in the app.
The interface is great, and it has google reader integration (if you want it). I wish I had found it a long time ago.

i dont see how it replaced newsrob for you... pulse is pretty, but functionality wise its a much weaker app, and the widgets are crap (a whole 3 stories per widget whoa)
I use buzzbox, the best I've found so far, nice widgets in various formats, huge selection of feeds, and the ability to add your owns.

I used slidescreen for a little while and I liked what it was going for, but in the end I didn't like the interface enough and gave up. Does anyone know of any similar launchers?

Why does my device matter? I have the HTC Hero, though. Slidescreen is an Android launcher. According to the market: "A complete home replacement focused on your information.
Shows summary information for SMS, GMail, Phone calls, Calendar, Google Reader, Stocks, Twitter and Facebook."
I really wanted slidescreen back but now it is dead ad there is no alternative ... is there anyone out there who can create a new launcher like slidescreen T_T it was THE BEST! ... any hope?
i found 1
i like the slidescreen too..
i searching everywhere..
n finally,,i found 1..
blackbearblanc.tumblr.com/post/3547408161
but there is no download link..
he named it glow screen..
im googling,,no result about "glow screen"..
i like the appearence,,better than slide screen..
im frustrated to find the link..
:hammer
If you read the description of the link, he's actually just using multiple widgets:
A ONEscreen with::
Puremessenger Widget for sms, gmail and missed calls only (gTalk when clicking title)
Kalender widget (TaskOs when clicking title)
AozoraClock with a copied font, Snowstorm Weather, Minimalistic Text for battery, Mobile Signal Widget Pro
Scrollable News (Pulse when clicking title)
Plume Transparent mod (Plume when clicking title)
WidgetLocker when downloaded lockbar from xda + a big lion king wallpaper.
Own dock with blank buttons
Scrollable dock icons: Call/contacts - gmail/new gmail - HancentSMS/New SMS - Astro/NotificationBar down - Dropbox/Open statusbar.
Dock2 is links to Folder Organizer folders (both press + swipe) with different Gingerbread icons. - Player is Quickdesk with SoundHound transparent mod - PowerAmp and BeyondPod smoked mod.

I've been looking for a SlideScreen replacement, as the last beta version is a bit unstable. Unfortunatley I am yet to find one either.
I would like to push this topic up, since I'm would really love to find a alternative to this aplication...
If it would work properly in Jellybean I would use to replace the launcher...
it's called SlideLine.

Looks good, a tempting package now they're all bundled together and skinned out of the box. Do the widgets have the old slide-to-clear functionality of SlideScreen?
Just wondering if anyone know an alternative to the stock news magazine from Samsung? I have disabled the app due to occasional display glitches and I find with it disabled the screen is a lot smoother...less lag.
Is there anything that is similar to HTC news feed?

Have you tried Feedly? Or Google News and Weather?
If the Samsung Briefing is not working well for you, just download the main app, Flipboard. It is very polished and has no glitches. I use it everyday.

Yes.....but I want something where I can just swipe up and down instead of widget that keep changing to different news. Most of these feeds app have widget that work just like Flipboard. Damn I wish Samsung can fix that glitches bug with magazine..cause I like it just fine.
