You can't use certain HTC widgets on third party launchers (Same for Samsung devices and Touchwiz launcher), because they are a part of the Sense launcher and only available to the Sense launcher. The reason you can see the other Android widgets across all launchers is because they are part of the core Android framework and thus accessible to all launchers. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

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.

HTC Widgets in Launcher Pro Plus

Is there a way we can use our HTC widgets while using Launcher pro?
Nope, as far as I know the HTC widgets are embedded into the Rosie launcher. They won't run without the launcher running.
Yeah I believe you need the stock launcher to use the widgets. But if I'm not mistaking, most of the widgets in Launcher Pro Plus are modeled after HTC Sense Widgets. I haven't used that launcher in a while so it may have changed.

Myn has seemed to have combined LP and the Sense widgets, but I'm not sure how he did it. He develops for the Evo, so I don't even know if it'd work with our device.
Thanks guys.. I thinks there's no way to get HTC widgets onto while using launcher pro, though there are many other alternatives.. Still, I luv launcher Pro..
Also do anyone know how to install non market apps without rooting?
Google Sideloader Wonder Machine.

[Q] Gingerbread Launcher

Hi guys,
I just move in to MIUI and I like its features, like Toggles and Dialer, and some Apps, like MIUI Music.
But I REALLY miss my gingerbread launcher, with that 3D effect and everything.
I have a Nexus S, and I tried the gingerbread launcher available on the market, but none of them worked (I cannot open the drawer, maybe some lib missing).
Does anyone know how can I get that effect or that launcher in MIUI Rom? I dont like Iphone like launcher everytime.
Thanks guys
Have you tried LauncherPro or ADW, both free in the market and have the 3d settings for the drawer.
Both adw and launcher pro work perfect with miui. I'm using adw ex and miui on my desire right now.

HTC Widgets with Launcher Pro

Hi guys . Is it possible to use HTC Sense widgets with Launcher Pro ? I have not been able to figure it out. Or do you have to stay on Sense .
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
You have to stay on Sense to use the Sense widgets. They require the Sense launcher framework to function. If you still want to use Launcher Pro, the Plus version includes widgets that are very similar to HTC's.

Hi Prabhdeep,
As per my info, there is no htc sense launcher available.....So, you can use htc theme with any launcher....
Personally, I use Apex launcher with "htc sense 5 hd multi theme".....you can google for the theme....its around 40mb, has a lot of icons & HD graphics.....Also, it is compatible with many launchers....
For htc style lockscreen, you can use Go Locker with htc theme....
