First of all, I know that this is running on a different device (I guess it is a Desire variant) and I also understand that this probably means that this launcher+lockscreen are only for 480x800 devices. But i thought someone would know some more information about it:

Basically, it has a different style of lockscreen (and it displays the time in an interesting way, for example EIGHTforty) and then has a similar style for the UI.
Can anyone help me out? If this launcher is not available for the Hero, then is it maybe for the Legend or the normal Desire (not the HD), or perhaps the ZTE Blade or the Samsung Galaxy S? That's all the android phones I have, so here's hoping someone knows more about this. I am not interested in the ROM this guy is running, but simply the custom UI/launcher and lockscreen.
Thanks in advance.
I know that clockr (available on the market) would display the time like that and using widget locker you could put that on your lockscreen? I think he is using a modded widgetlocker.. Mod data for modding widget locker can be found seaching ( WidgetLocker Mods Custom Lockscreens XDA.
the status bar could be themed using the gingerbread theme for the hero available in the themes and apps part..
widgetlocker and clockr area abailable on the market.. another one called TYPOCLOCK may be better...
Seems like LauncherPro and Widget Locker. He does a lot of mods for these apps, most of which can be found on the LauncherPro forums (currently down) or on his site - http://www.theultralinx.com/
Hi All
Been a regular reader but just joined now.
Anyway I've been trying a few custom ROMs out on my rooted HTC Hero (GSM)... many have some very good things, but many of the 2.2 ones don't have some of the features or apps I loved from 2.1, especially some of the HTC sense, or some of the apps.
So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that can do/has the following:
- Based on Froyo 2.2 (want to try out the supposed performance improvements, new UI, later version of flash, etc)
- Needs the Apps2SD functionality (I believe all 2.2 based Roms have it)
- I really like the HTC flip clock/weather widget, with the animated weather as in 2.1..but haven't seen it in 2.2. Is it not available anymore? Anyway it could manually still be added?
- The 2.1 weather app.. where you can add multiple locations. 2.2 only seems to have weather/news which I dont like as much.... the option to see weather in different locations just by scrolling down was great. No other options in the market seem to do this as well, either
- In fact - most of the original HTC widgets available of on the Hero I would still like
- The 'Stocks' app found in earlier versions is missing in 2.2. I really like this app, as it's the only one I have ever found that you can add many quotes, and will work well with non-US countries (like Australia/NZ sharemarkets for example). But, it's not in found in the market and doesn't seem to be featured in 2.2?
- I also liked the way that when looking at 'people', it would summarise 'events' like birthdays and give me a taskbar notification. The 2.2 Roms I have tried so far, don't seem to have this same function anywhere..is it still available?
- I also liked the previous 'my contact card' where I could store my own details. I cant see this in 2.2 either is nit now gone? Would still love that.
Anyway, maybe I'm asking too much, but is there any custom ROM anyone can recommend, that is based on 2.2 but still has those 'good' bits from 2.1 or earlier?
Or, is there anyway I can add them myself??
I have checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
and others, but so far haven't found anything that quite has the above...
For the Flip Clock, you can search for Fancy Widget. In the current version, the autohor redesigned ist, but with you can find the older version here on the forum -and it looked exactly like the Sense flip clock! (what also explains, why that version was removed from the market by htc) As a bonus, I find it less laggy than the original one -therefore, it replaced HTC's flip clock on my homescreen
For the rest, I think, you need a ROM with Sense, as Sense Widget don't work on non-sense Roms...
I use fancy widget as well, glad I saved the .apk file
as for the sense like widgets you are better of doing a market search you might find some similiar to them.
or just go install the custom sense froyo roms although the camera or some hardware aint working on them
Thanks, I found the older fancy widget apk so I will give that a try.
I guess I'm asking too much for a custom ROM based on 2.2, with all the HTC Sense stuff still working... will have to comprise somewhere.
I really wanna give 2.2 a decent try but a lot of the stuff I liked from 2.1 isn't there anymore in the ROM's I've seen.
Anyway thanks for the replies!

the fact is mate you want HTC Sense on 2.2 (or sounds like that), which isn't a 100% stable port on the Hero (GSM) so you can have 2.2 working perfectly and use 3rd party apps like everyone else to get the same effect, or you can use a buggy 2.2 port of HTC sense, and live with it until someone makes a good port.
Yeah I wasn't too sure what ROM's were available and what they all could or could not do, hence asking for recommendations.
Anyway I'm trying out a number of differnet ones until I find the best one for me.
Think you're right though, 2.2 with Sense isn't really available/stable yet so I think a non-sense 2.2 with addons is the way to go at this stage.
Cheers
Hi,
I trye different ROM and i think a non-sense 2.2 whith an other launcher (like LauncherPro) is better than Sense...
The ROM TastyFroyo is the faster ROM but the screen resolution is not compatible with BeautifulWidget. (2.2 non-sense)
And the FroyedVillain is awesome too and full stable! (2.2 non-sense)
The ChocolateFroyo is a 2.2 with sense but i dut test it...
You have the rom in 2.3 too!!!
Elinux ROM and TastyGinger are great but still in beta...
I saw a lot of apps like Agile Lock but no one looks like the real Sense 3 Lockscreen, so I wonder if I can just grab some htclockscreen.apk from SFM or other Sense3.0-based ROM for Wildfire and put it in my RemPuzzle with "Sense 1.0".
I already searched, but couldnt find an answer to this.
i got go locker & the sense 4.0 theme on it. i really enjoy it there is also a sense 3.0 theme for it, which is also great.
Try Agile Lock
Agile lock is beautiful project who is delete from the market by the author because of HTC lawyers.
It's really similar and fun. The best SENSE 3.0 lockscreen except the original SENSE 3.0 lockscreen
I found this link. Catch
I am currently running a Sense 4.0 Rom and really missing the stocks widget (shows current stock prices). Is there anyway to get that widget working on Sense 4.0?
I have tried searching a lot on the topic but searching for stock and widget - you can imagine how many results I get with none being remotely close to what I am looking for.
Appreciate any help!
I've searched and searched, but no luck. So I have to believe with all of the Android know-how on this forum that someone can do this.
I don't want to use Sense as my launcher or keep the stock lockscreen either (I use Apex and Widgetlocker).
*I just want a simple app that commands the HTC sense full screen weather animations.
Teslacoil was able to do it with HTC Sense 3.0 on gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, but won't work on ICS/JB/Kitkat.
And after downloading almost all of the other lockscreen replacements, none of them have this functionality either (unless you know of one that does?)
So can someone please develop this for me or point me in the right direction to do it myself?
No I'm not interested in beautiful widgets, Fancy widgets, or HD widgets animations.
I am willing to pay! Thanks for helping me with my request (I know it's just a silly weather animation).
It's been a month, but no replies.
So a bump in hopes that someone with know how will see this.
