Hi guys,
I'm considering getting one of your excellent modded ROMs. However, I hear a lot of good things about the Cyanogenmod, so I would really like to wait for that.
However: Is it possible to have the CM ROM with the Sense Friendstream, calender widget, mail widget and music widget?
Those really outbeat anything I have seen on the market - but apart from that I'd much rather just have a clean Helix launcher on 2.1.
Is it possible you think?
iirc they don't work outside sense-ui, htc widgets have depencies on sense-ui so is necessary.

I just installed the Amethyst gingerbread port... wow. It is so amazingly quick and responsive.. and some of the features are amazing.. I particularly like the music player.
but I miss the Sense experience.
so does anyone know of a *great* theme going round that offers a decent looking clock and weather widget? I'd rather avoid paying, but I will if necessary.
Install this:

It's a direct copy of the HTC clock/weather widget that was removed from the Market. It was always free so I'm not breaking any rules posting this, btw
cool, thanks.
can you think of anything else worth adding to bring back that familiar feeling?
Not really, other than the Sense Live wallpaper
oh thought of something.. do you know of any htc widgets floating around on the net?
LauncherPro has some sense-like widgets but in full version only.
Sense widgets, funnily enough, only work with Sense
I really miss the 2D Sense gallery, manual focus from Sense Camera and HTC Facebook sync...
This features make me always come back to Sense (HD)...
Is there any way to get the actual FriendStream app working in CM7? I know about Launcher Pro Plus widgets and similar programs like Pure Messenger Widget, but I'm curious about getting some of the actual Sense apps working.
Any tips/advice appreciated!
short answer is no. sense apps/widgets will never work except on a sense base ROM, and CM is aosp.
best thing you can do is find replacement widgets from the market.
Sent from my calculator watch.
I'm running CM7 nightly, and I want to readd the default SENSE widgets like the weather and stuff, anyone have the link on how to do that?
I've searched, couldn't find anything similar.
Thank you!
simply not gonna happen. your best bet is LauncherPro Plus and Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets (for the clock with weather)
i personally LOVE Fancy Widgets. best app ive ever used. very stable too.
Hey guys
I was wondering if it was possible to have htc widgets on a rom which is not sense? I did look for an answer but couldnt find anything.
Thanks
Hey,
as far as I know this sadly isn't possible. The widgets will only work on a sense rom.
But you can have a look at the widgets and apps by the Go Dev team. For example there's a GoWeather widget, with different themes available so it can be made to look like the htc's clock and weather widget. It is a pretty acceptable substitute.
And try the pure calendar and pure grid calendar widgets too
There are apps in the market and in the apps forum that have similar look/feel to the HTC widgets, but you won't be able to simply copy an .apk of a HTC sense clock and just put it on a non-Sense phone unfortunately.
Is it possible to get sense 3.0 widgets for cm7?
No, the frameworks don't match.
I am saddened. Deeply Saddened. The HTC weather widget is so sick, but I am tired of my Sense 3.0 ROM lagging like crap and having random force closes.
Is there anything that resembles the HTC weather app?
id be suprised if you cant download it straight from the market to be honest. you can get every other sense widget or copy of sense widget from the market im sure you can get this one.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you just want the clock widget, there are lots of 'copy-cat' Sense widgets in the market.

I'm actually just looking for the weather app. The sense 3.0 weather app is just frigging spectacularly mind blowing.
All other widgets are okay...
I tried the GO Weather but it's not the same...
EDIT: I tried searching on google, XDA, and the market, to no avail.
My search strings were
htc sense widgets
sense weather widget
sense weather
etc
etc
help?
What Sense 3 ROM are you running ? I wouldn't say that Unity was too laggy with overclocking,must admit the widgets are part of the reason that I sticking with sense,Ive yet to see an alternative to sense contacts.
Launcher Pro(Paid version) has a clock/weather widget that is similar or fancy widgets could be an option ?
I tried it, didn't like it.
I tried LPP plus, adw ex, zeam, remus, SPB 3D, MXHOME, honeycomb launcher, launcher 7, nothing works.
Currently using GO EX launcher.
I also spent a ton of time searching for the exact same thing... hoping I could get the Sense clock/weather widget on CM7. The closest thing I've been able to find is, as bombadier suggested, Fancy Widgets. It's not exactly the same, but it is pretty close, and has different skins you can use and easily switch back and forth.
