Lol yeah first time using a launcher other than touchwiz
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.

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.

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.

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.
Where can I find the widgets that Pro launcher uses for it's messaging and facebook that is used on it's theme. I would like to use them on ADWLauncher EX. Or is there anything similar. Thanks in advance

without knowing what these widgets are exactly, i would imagine that they are part of that particular launcher. Launcher Pro has its own version of the messaging widget, and the official facebook app has its own widget also. i dont think it is possible, or at least very easy to migrate launcher specific widgets to other launchers. hope that helps.

They are Launcher Pro X widgets. I like the layout of them and wondered if there were any similar, apart from the official FB app or Handcent app (pop up) which I am currently using. I would use Pro launcher but I prefer the ADW launcher EX ui.

Try Pure Messenger Widget from the market (paid), but similar to the LPP widget
I was looking around for something like this too, I don't need to use lpp anymore because 2.2 stock launcher is pretty much the exact way I had it setup
let me know if ya see something
EDIT:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/colorize-widget/com.snowbee.colorize

not what I was looking for
I need an all in one scrollable widgetlike a 3x2 box

I've been using Colorize Widgets for a month now and I have to report that they look and work great!
You are right, an all in one widget would be cool, but as far as the widget size is concerned, most launchers nowadays let you resize,
so that would not be an issue.
Robbyf56 thanks for the link. This is exactly what I was looking for. Sorry it wasn't what you wanted.

Your welcome haha I'm still looking...
Does anyone know of a widget that's similar to the smaller of the Friendstream styles, where it's just a text input box that posts to multiple accounts?
**EDIT**
TweetDeck, exactly what I was looking for.
Launcher Pro Plus also has a Facebook and Twitter widget that is very similar to sense.
what's wrong with friendstream?

I'm using ADW as my launcher. There's nothing wrong with Friendstream, it just only works if you use Sense. =)
I have to try TweetDeck, I do miss Friendstream on LauncherPro
Try Colorize Widget

Pure messenger widget does way way more
good functions but not smooth

I used the one built into LauncherPro Plus.
Switched from ADW a while back, might want to give LPP a spin.
I'm now just using Sense and and actually like it.
Does anybody have a link to the default Accuweather widget?

Ah thanks, I'll search for it. You know if it has the little tip under the widget too? I thought those were pretty unique.
It does but it is based off the forecast which then triggers a certain text that the person entered. You can change what it says to your liking though.

Not too bad. Just downloaded Zooper, and can't find it. Do you happen to know the name, or the best way of finding it?
Thanks again

Hey, so I installed nova launcher prime and I can't find the photo/video gallery widget like the stock launcher has. (Where you can see your album on the home screen and scroll through etc..) Anyone else experiencing this or know a solution?
