Hi peeps, is there a way to use some of then HTC Sense stuff example the clock(the flip type not analog) & music player wiget on Launcher PRO?
i remember i do see some ss somewhere where the user using launcher PRO with Sense Clock. I want the speed & smooth scrolling of Launcher PRO but keep the flip clock & my music player wiget. anyone out there can tell me is it possible or not?
fancy widget. search on market. Perfect clone
duno about music though.
The actual sense widgets would require heavy hacking to get working, if it is even possible. No one has shown any intrest in doing so.
thx warlrus =)
Fancy Widget has been removed from the marked by HTC's request (because they meant it was a ripoff from their work.)
Still, i have attached the .apk for it.
As for the music widget, there isn't anyone that looks like HTC's that i have found yet.. But you could try out MixIng
thx sublue... no wonder i can't find it. thought i have a faulty market >.<"

No problem.
Anyone know of any widgets similar to the Sense 'Bookmark' (list view and scrollable) and 'Calendar' (grid view) widgets?
I want to switch to another launcher, but can't live without these apps!

If you use Dolphin HD browser you can get an add in bookmark similar to sense one.
If you don't use it then you should really check it out, its awesome.

I spent at least one day trying to find some apps that give me some very basic and easy functions and seems they doesnt' exist!!!
Just some examples:
- I want that on my homescreen there is a widget where I can see the latest/newest items in my google reader feeds/account.
I downloaded at least 10 different rss readers apps but NO-ONE has a widget that displays 2-3-4 or more lines with the newest titles The most near is a widget that show a 3x1 square with ONE line with the newest items switching between them every few seconds. I missed something? there is something like what I ask?
- I want that on my screen there is a widget where I can see what is appening in my facebook account. The FB for android widget shows only one/last post. The HTC FB widget shows too many things and you cannot use if you are using a non-sense rom or if resized it look really bad. The only alternative I found is the FB widget included in the LauncherPro... but what if I dont like LauncherPro?
- I want that on my homescreen there is a widget showing me my exchange/gmail mailbox: just sender: mail_object. Can be done with a very simple widget in the market for gmail, but not for exchange. To do this I had to pay and install a different mail client (Moxier) that has a widget like this...
I'm just wondering I will start to lear java to start developing my own apps

use any of the android builds that say Sense. HTC Sense on these ROMs have all of the above functionality for your homescreen.

Can I use the HTC sense widget also if I use a different launcher?

As far as I know, as soon as you disable the sense launcher bar and use a different one such as Launcher Pro Plus you lose all the Sense widgets so the answer would be no you cant.
Mark.

Right.. this was what I experienced.
I dont want to use Sense widgets because
1) I setted up my dpi resolution to 180 to have a "bigger" homescreen
2) I use launcherpro plus to have 6 rows x 6 colums on every home to insert more widgets
In this way I just power up my phone from standby and I see:
1) hour and day
2) weather
3) news from my choosen keywords
4) calendar with the upcoming events
5) what is happening in facebook
So my question still remains... we have the market full of useful apps that do anything.. but no app to do really easy things like show on an homescreen some datas...this is incredible for me...
I have to do them by myself
I just enclosed a screenshot of my Home Screen.. I know, is not "cool" but it's working for me and give me all the informations I need at a first look without having to scroll in different homescreens
But could be better if there were some better widgets available
You know what pisses me off, there is not even a reliable alarm clock app for android. All of them may let you down in a very critical time. But it is very good thet we can find 1000+ apps that does nothing!!!

what you means for "non reliable" ?
I mean alarm apps work most of the time but somettimes they do not. It causes you to be late for your schedule. I tried many apps. "Alarm Klock" is doing okay but still it fails to ring sometimes.
Also there are so many apps which only does one single simple thing. It is like you have 2 different apps for volume up and volume down. That fancy android market is empty in reallity.
Hi there
i'd like to know how to remove a single widget from the widget list
the fact is that i need its app, but it has soooo many widgets and i only need one of them
how can i remove the only ones that i don't need?
ps i know that many apps allow to disable the widgets that you don't want, but unfortunately this isn't the case
I don't know of a way to remove a widget, without removing the associated app. There may be an app to do it somewhere, but it's certainly not a standard thing.
Here's an alternative though...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
It groups widgets together, making the widget list a lot tidier.
well at least that's something
thank you!
edit
from that thread:
"* Doesn't work with HTC-Sense but should work with all "Stock-Based" Launchers like Launcher PRO, ADW, Zeam etc. pp."
i can sense incompatibility with the touchwiz XD
i will prolly try it later anyway and see what happens

Very good point - I use Go Launcher and it works fine with that. I just tried it with TouchWiz and it doesn't work.
aww such a shame
thanks so much for testing it!!
i'll keep that in mind in case i change the launcher someday
You don't mention what the name of the apk is ?
autostarts can remove widgets from list (Widget Updating)
Another thing you could always do (if it's not a system app) would be to move the app to the SD card. (I never tried that yet with my SGS2 since I'm still very far from filling the internal app spare, but I'm sure it will work.)
It's easy, quick and doesn't requires any additional software on the phone.
Is there a way to keep default launcher widgets accessible after installing, for example, ADW.Launcher Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, if it's anything like Sense, then the stock Motorola widgets are only accessible when using the stock Motorola launcher. Basically, they are integrated into the Launcher and it's not possible to run them on a third-party solution.

uh when I load up ADW and long press the homescreen I only have ADW widget. For example, I want to use the Favorites Contacts , the one that when you swipe down on it, it reveals a 20 block screen of your contacts. Can you check for that widget please to see if you can add it as im not from ADW.
is it possible to add sony ericsson default music player widget with adw launcher by using rom manager or by using the root method..i tried installing the music player widget but wont show up when i tried to add the widget in adw launcher..is there any solution at all ?

Favorite Contacts is only available with the stock launcher, I believe.
Almost all of the stock widgets do work with third party launchers. Interestingly, they look like they did in earlier versions of Blur, without the 'chrome' of the Gingerbread BlurHome (the dark blue with gaudy glow animation).
The exception is the favourite contacts widget, which 'works' in the sense that you can place the widget on a screen, but it's invisible.
Genuine question here - aside from the scrolling email widgets and the favourite contacts widget (which is bloated) the Blur widgets are the worst I have ever used on any variety of Android. Half of them don't even launch anything when tapped. Sense, Touchwiz, Timescape/Mediascape, every OEM skin with its own widget set has been more functional than this, even if it's not my cup of tea.
What gives with MotoBlur, and what do people see in it? I swear Moto know it's awful, why else would they automatically set the first third party launcher you install as default?

I use Go launcher and when I place the favorites widget on the homescreen nothing appears. After which I can then click/hold that same blank space and the options appear to modify or delete it. I've not seen anyway to place any stock widgets while using another launcher.

And what other launchers does it work in, pray tell?
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
It is available. The fact that those launchers are unable to handle it is another thing. Same way the stock launher does not work with 52.
I want to use a more customizable launcher, but really like the s planner widget. Is it possible to get this working with another launcher, or is it kind of 'built in' to touch wiz?
You don't get the option to add the widget on any launchers I've tried and can't find a better, or as good as 3rd party calender.
Thanks

Did you manage to find a way of getting the s Planner widget to work in a different launcher? I am in the same boat - moved to Apex Launcher and really want ot have the s planner widget
thanks. eon

Yes I too like the S Planner widget especially the tasks widget however I'm using Apex launcher.
Anyone found out yet how to port this?
Or.... is there a way to make Touch wiz launcher 5x4 in portrait?
Thanks heaps
Hey guys I'm new to the galaxy :silly: I have an s2 i9100 and touchwiz for me ranks as one of the worst UIs I have ever used (motoblur is my top hate).
but the two things I really liked was the S Planner app and widget, I even copied the 3 related apks from the phone before I switched to miui. now I wish I new a way to get them working but I wouldn't be very good at it and I probably would stuff it up some how.
I've been trying to get pure calendar widgets to work in the same way as the s planner widget (the widget is all I want).
I'll upload the 3 apks if anyone is interested but with all my research the sad fact is no touchwiz no S Planner widget :crying:
by the way if anyone out there knows how to get just a basic month view setup with the pure calendar widget can you please help me?
I don't want
scrolly nonsense
current day/week at top
timeline view confabulary
100000000 widget sizes
I just want
show current month with tap to view next previous month
show upcoming events from my synced calendars (google)
tap on day to view that days events.
thanks for your time.

I also miss this. I have can only find 1 resizable bookmark widget in the market and don't like it. Also miss the Android keyboard, truth be told.
I'm using APW Widgets. The bookmark widget is excellent, and can be resized.

Yeah, that's the one I don't like
i'd love to see a stock honeycomb widget, but for the time being i'm using APW widgets. the bookmark is not bad really.
Is it not possible to copy out the bookmark widget apk from rooted honeycomb device?
Was starting to wonder the same thing . My other half misses that and the photo frame from HC.
Install Quick Browser from Play store and use the widget from it.
