Newest Nova Launcher is sense compatible. I downloaded and chose weather widget and it works! It was like Christmas to realize sense widgets work with it.
I'm still not seeing the weather widget at all in 3.3.

Are you rooted? I'm almost sure it asked for root permission.
Yes. Checked that permissions were enabled. Is it called something other than "Weather"?

That's weird,on mine I long press on home screen and click widget, scroll to Weather Clock and add. I'm running the latest Viper One Rom.
Maybe it is a viper thing. I'm running rooted stock 4.4.3. Thanks.
viper roms has a mod to "activate" sense widgets for 3rd party launchers

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.
Rooted the phone. Installed the new ROM.
Now I can't get any of the HTC widgets to work.
Is there a workaround for this?
Which widgets? Like HTC Hub? I rooted yesterday and have flashed both versions of the DHD rom and have no problems with my widgets. I did have to turn on background data for HTC Hub to work though.

What do you mean you can't get the HTC widgets to work? Are you using the Sense launcher? If you switched to another launcher (ADW, LauncherPro, etc) the HTC widgets will not work. They are designed for Sense only

That's it right there. I'm using LauncherPro.
New to the Platform.
Thanks given.
How can I reinstall the Stock Weather Widget? I thought I saw a deodexed SW package for the charge here somewhere. Would I just need to drag the deodex and APK to the SD card?
Running Gummy and imnuts Kernel currently. Thanks in advance.
It may not be that easy, depending on what ROM you are running you may need the Samsung app that manages their widgets and you then could likely use the deodexed version of the weather widget.
The hard part is we don't have a key or legend to work from if we what the file names equaled we could figure it out.

I'm not sure what the answer is either, but I had always thought that the stock weather widget was some weatherbug widget?
In any case, you should check out Beautiful Widgets. It costs a bit, but it has great weather and clock widgets as well as skinning features.

Hey guys, im running the viperxl latest 3.2.8 and in the aroma installer i choose to completely remove sense because it saves a lot of RAM. Before without running any apps the ram would be about 850mb/1GB Free. After de-sensing the rom i get 600/1gb free. Im using NOVA Launcher to replace the sense dock.
Everything is perfect except for not having any shortcuts on lockscreen. Is there any fix/workaround? i really like the 4 icons on lockscreen where you can pull the ring to the icon.
If not, is there a way to install ONLY the sense lockscreen without install the whole sense system?
Also, ive tried downloading some music from my dropbox and i move the mp3 files to the "Music" folder on the sdcard. When i open the music app i see the songs but i get an error when i try to play them saying "unable to play this type of audio file"
Thanks for the help!
You can enable the AOSP lockscreen in venom tweaks but I am pretty sure you don't need to in order get the lockscreen shortcuts..
I am almost certain you just need to set the lockscreen shortcuts in venom tweaks. I think they are unset by default.
I don't use venom, otherwise I'd check for you.

Yeah i saw the settings in venom tweaks and i changed the settings also in custom lockscreen shortcuts, however the screen still stays empty without any shortcut icons. I was browsing through xda trying to find a solution and i saw a post saying that NOVA launcher restricts the use of sense lockscreen?
Correct. You need sense to use the sense lockscreen
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
ah then aosp lockscreen it is.
weird. Lockscreen shortcuts with sense lockscreen work for me and i desensed it in aroma too and chose nova launcher. Try going into personalize and see if lockscreen shortcuts is checked. Maybe you unchecked it by accident or something
GO Locker
Use a third party lockscreen on the play store like go locker. Then you can get up to 6 icons and customize which does what and what the lock screen looks like
Duh!

I don't believe that you can use the stock weather widget in Nova, but you can find plenty of other nice clock/weather widgets available. Beautiful Widgets is a good starting point.
I also run Nova, and use HD widgets for Weather/Clock widget.
