good free alternatives to htc apps? - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

Hi @ll, im looking for good free and preferrably open source apps to the htc apps like widgets clock mail messasing etc etc
i found beatufill widgets 2.56 and k-9 mail to be really good

I've been looking too, namely the Music, Bookmarks and Clock widgets, but haven't found any that are as visually well designed.
I think I've tried all the Music apps available and haven't liked any, over the Sense UI one.
Somewhat stuck because i want the stock 2.1 from the Nexus1, but dont want to flash it until there are good enough replacements.

I think thats a HTC Lockscreen problem, the standard Music Player shows over the Lockscreen in AOSP Roms.

With widget locker can you just put music control, Like CM, just the back pause and next?

Let me test, your talking about the stock music player right?
It doesnt look like there is a widget for that however, with widget locker you can make it so your pull down menu work while locked so i guess you could put the music player shortcut on the lockscreen then use the player controls in the notification bar while locked..
Unless you find a music widget..
Ok there is a music widget on the market for free and you are able to put that on the lockscreen galaxy s musci widget.
yeah or the MIUI player. I was also wonder how much work it would be to modify the MIUI music widget to be completely clear except for the album art and controls

What do u want done with it? Im sorry i cant do it but maybe pm mysterysemotionz, he is an awesome themer and can modify it for you, considering he uses that in his theme he might be able to help.
If you however just want it transparent the Galaxy s Music Player Widget Has A Few Options To Change It, kinda cool, but if you dont want to use the stock music player then talk to mysterysemotionz.

[Q] Fixed Widgets

Is it possible to change the fixed widgets on this phone (Menu - Phone - Settings) and their icons, WITHOUT having to change your launcher - I seem to like the basic launcher (having tried about 3 or 4 now) and they all allow you to customise the fixed widgets but is this possible in the standard non customised model and if so how..?
OR is there a Launcher that will allow you to access ALL of the basic HTC widget as I quite like some of them like the expanded message and agenda page.. cheers..
Is this on a Sense ROM?
This is on the standard (as it comes) ROM. I have changed nothing and telephone was purchased new approx 2 weeks ago so its on release 2.2.1
Thanks..
You mean the dock buttons, and no theres no way change them (although if you download skins on htc hub you can get a skin that has the dock with another color and the blackboard skin makes the dock squared)
Other choice that you have is getting the full version of launcher pro, and get the fancy widget from the market
The full version of launcher pro has a "friends" widget that kinda looks like the friend stream widget, also it has a contacts widget that looks like the people widget, the dont look as good as the htc original ones but it can be an alternative
And the fancy widget app is the weather clock widget from htc alternative except it doesnt have the weather animation

Are you using stock launcher?

I am using GoLauncher, could this be affecting it somehow?
Hey..
From what i know some widgets by manufacturers will just not work with custom launchers.. Maybe Music widget is one of them.. Atleast thats what i've heard bout the timescape widget..
You can get some other widget / music player from the market i think ..

[Q] Stock Music Player Widget With Other Launchers?

I couldn't find a 4x4 widget for the Sense music player that looks as good to use with other launchers, that's my problem with them, I'm not about to switch music players too, Apollo was my favorite but it messes up my album art (I don't know why it has to snatch all my music new covers while I already got them preloaded and some custom ones). Anyway is there a good widget for that?
Another question partly related to that matter, is there a custom rom out there that allows using HTC widgets with other launchers?
Thanks.
No it's sense related so you'd need to use it with Rosie unless some dev can port it otherwise no.

There is no way of getting the widget working on other launchers, I spent a lot of time searching for a way, but Sony doesnt want that to happen
You can always use 3rd party music controlers like : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImN6LmpoZy5tdXNpY2NvbnRyb2x3aWRnZXQiXQ..

Phantom Music Controls works one time on two on the Walkman. I talked with the dev (Jan Gruncl) and he made it possible for it to work, but still isn't as effective as Sony's walkman controls.
I have the paid version.
