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.
Hi!
Is there a way to disable 3D Barrel effect when changing homescreens in Sense 3.0 ? Other launchers works much smoother and faster but there is lack of HTC widgets...

I also asked for this. I believe it's not possible.

Just go with another launcher. For each HTC widget, there's always a much better alternative/equivalent in the Market. Plus, you get the advantage of a much more configurable, smoother launcher with better transition effects, transparency, skins, etc, etc.

Thanks. I would go for Launcher Pro, because its widgets are similar to HTC's (f.e. big, slightly transparent Agenda), but there is no good HTC clock widget. I found in the Market app named LP Sense Skin + Clock Widget, but this clock is not optimized for qHD
Another thing that annoys me is the HTC dock in the lockscreen and another android dock in Launcher Pro in homescreen. Is there a way to change lockscreen in Sense 3.0?
I wish there was an option to turn these animations off...
Well I guess LauncherPro is the exception in that it comes with its own widgets. Most home screen replacements are just the launcher, and you use your own widgets.
If it helps, here are some equivalents:
HTC Clock > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Weather > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Toggle Widgets > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Agenda > Android Agenda Widget
HTC Calendar View > Pure Calendar Widget
HTC FriendStream > Tweetdeck
I actually quite like still having the HTC lockscreen with its four shortcuts, and then a different set of shortcuts in ADWLauncher.EX.
As you're discovering right now, Sense 3.0 isn't very configurable at all.
I want both lol. LauncherPro Plus and Sense 3.0. LPP for the configurability and just general awesomeness, but Sense 3.0 for the app drawer and dock that LPP can't have
Can we use Sense 2.1 Launcher to disable that 3D effect?
I don't have Sensation right now. Can anyone try that with a dumb sense launcher.apk from Incredible S etc.?
I can't stand the bloody carousel effect when unlocking the device either. Just a time waste!
I seriously don't get it why htc wouldn't want let us get rid of this absurd effect!!!
For the rest, I'd rather not change for another launcher, I quite like the widgets and such. But wish htc would read us and provide a more configurable update some time later.

Yeah, widgets. Thats why I asked the question above. I hope someone may try.
I went for LauncherPro. It is very configurable (number of columns, rows etc), much faster and smoother than Sense and has very similar widgets to HTC's (Friends, Calendar, Bookmarks).
For HTC like weather clock I went for Beautiful Widgets and its SuperClock.
Yes you can configure which screen and widgets to use on the lock screen.
Select Personalize, Lock screen, and you can select a number of screens and change the widgets to others. There are lock screen for wallpaper, weather (I like), photos, etc. On the clock one, you can press Settings and select one of the alternative clocks.
Very cool

OMFG. Here, i am looking for a launcher(tell me if you know one) or ROM that replicates the effect on my desire s, and you guys want to remove it??
The carousel unlock effect is truly annoying.
On the Nexus One I had the nice CRT TV screen-off effect which is good, because its an effect/waste of time AFTER you've done working with your phone and want to lock it. This is the time for graphic flourishes.
HTC instead do a nice effect when I unlock the phone, that is when I want to use the phone immediately, but I get a little waste of time effect instead.
In summary - do the fun graphic stuff when I want to lock (done using the phone, wouldn't mind seeing something cool), as opposed to doing fun graphic stuff when i unlock (when I want to use the phone immediately and really don't want to see any superficial flourishes!).
Is there a clock widget that looks EXACTLY the same as the Sense one? Old version of Fancy Widgets was, but they changed it. So is it possible to just download the old version (apk) and install it?
weather & toggle widget.. download that
download h7c clock within the app
best htc clock out there imo

+1 but the weather animations can be a bit annoying seeing as they occur whenever the phone is unlocked, to any screen, for any reason.I used to use this on my MT3G Slide and I was pretty satisfied with it, though nothing really compares to sense IMO.

There is NO widget I can find to replace the htc gallery widget! It's very annoying

Just change "show all animations" to "show some animations" in Menu->Settings->Display. That will take care of that.

I have fancy widgets pro APK and I put it on SD card and installed, but it force closes. I think it is not compatable with the QHD screen.
Howdi Folks
What is the chance of FC on apps from sense being on Cyanogenmod (Torch, Friend Stream etc to replace the Lockscreen)?
I have the feeling Rosie Stuff & Sense Framework Would Be Required?
Also In theory what is the difference between Odex & Apks?
Torch is included in cm and the rest will not work period without the sense framework. In other words if u want sense apps and lock screens flash a sense rom as cm is aosp. That or learn how to port the things u want from cm to a sense rom. Adding sense to aosp is exactly what HTC does when they build sense roms so doing it yourself would be pointless.

Yeap. Simple fact is sense apps wont work without the sense framework.
Theres some decent clones though. Like launcher pro's friends widget etc.
Hi
As far as i know team venom ported the Sense 6 prism/rosie and i was wondering if anyone could port other apps too
I mean HTC Music, Message ...
Or at least just show me a GUIDE or sth to figure out how to do it myself
Thanks in advance
Search the thread with sense 6 apps ported, started by Ashutos1997. There is a zip with WorldClock, weather app, Htc servicepack and blinkfeed. I'm using Blinkfeed from HOX formus, the one ported for 4.2, because it of the resize/dpi. It looks better on our screen, and you can change the colours. Those apps are working on android 4.4.4 I did not manage to get Htc Music app working, but there are alternatives, Apollo player which can be themed like sense 6 player, or NexMusic player. The only apps that i'm missing from sense are dialer/contacts/phone and the htc weatherclock widget.
NO!!
nope!
those apps are for 4.4+ Android but i wanted to put them in a ViperS 5.2.1 i dont want ZOE or GALLERY
i just want Music and Message, just these two
is there any GUIDE ??? PLease
Sorry but i can't help you. from what i know there are no ports of this apps for JB.
Does anyone know how to disable as much of sense as possible without rooting? For example the weather showing on the lockscreen as well as HTC location service. I have already disabled the weather app yet it is still showing on the lockscreen
Disable sense make no sense on a HTC phone
you could just flash a custom rom? Sense is the skin htc run on top of android so you can't really disable it as such.
Widgetlocker, lets you customize the lock screen, but I am pretty sure it is tightly integrated into the stock rom.
I have replaced a lot of things, like the default shell, with google now, and the google keyboard. The dialer is also fixed.

You could disable the lock screen and use a different app for the lockscreen.
