Google News & Weather and Live Wallpapers - Desire General

Hi guys,
I'm thinking to change my Hero and buy a new HTC Desire (or Nexus One???).
I'd like to know...the HTC Desire (original ROM) has Nexus One Live Wallpapers and Google News & Weather (same of Nexus One...not HTC Weather Widget)? I love Google News & Weather...I want it!!!
Thanks!

Just in case...HTC Desire has also live wallpapers linked with music players???

Yes it does and as for the widget no it doesn't the Htc desire only has htc's weather widget and htc's news widget.
But since my network connection is acting out i can't browse the market if the google widgets are available for download.

Sorry...my english not so good. You said:
Live wallpapers = yes
music player live wallpapers = yes
Google News & Weather = no (maybe on the market)
Google News & Weather app is not a standard Android 2.1 app???

Works fine for me in Belfast, just to confirm it's not a UK wide issue.

It's a standard google app, but the htc desire has htc sense with wigets so some are replaced by htc's widget.

No Latitude Widget

I made a search but couldn't find a similar topic on xda or Google. I started using latitude today via Google maps but noticed that I don't a widget called "Latitude" on my desire.
Any idea why this is the case ? It should present, right ?
I don't know if there is a specific latitude widget (I haven't found one), but if you go into (google) maps and press the menu button, you get an option for latitude.....
Hope this helps

Yes I am using that, but there is also latitude widget. I found out that the widget comes with the new google maps (v 4.1), however in my country the application is not present in market section due to the licencing ang legal stuff (according to an announcement by google). Which is very odd because I am using google maps w/o problem, workes flawlessy. why can't I update it, beats me ?
I need to find free app maps 4.1 and install it. Hopefully thw widget will come.

Thanks for the link, it solved my problem.

sync facebook birthdays calendar

I know this is simple, I've done it before, but now I've swapped from LeeDroid to CM7 ROM the calendar is different and I can't find how to sync my facebook birthdays to the calendar.
Anyone care to give me a reminder? Please.
Sync using google calender
1. In Facebook , go to upcoming birthday tab , and click on export birthdays -> provides you with a link
2. Go to google calender and add by URL
paste the URL u got and import
Ta da this is part of ur google calender now
if this is too boring , dere are free apps in market to sync facebbok events just do a search on em
There's a way of doing it on the phone without the need for 3rd party app, I've done it a couple of times before but I can't remember how now.
I do it on the same already described. I do not know any rather way aosp roms, with sense roms one can do it with facebook for htc sense (maybe you mean this way), but you cannot user this with aosp roms.

mate earlier when u set up a facebook account u wud get an option to sync , now only works with sense roms
for aosp roms this does not apply any more , good luck trying lol
The facebook sync also works with aosp roms, but only the contact one.
And I also use the described way for syncing birthdays and events, and it word very good on my aosp rom.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Mate I noticed in ur signature that you have transparent xda app
Any way I could get my hands on it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah, your right. I think it was when I had Leedroid installed that I could do that. Makes sense (no pun intended) now that I can't because it was obviously the HTC Calendar app that could do this but this app isn't on the AOSP ROMs.

[Q] ICS email and calendar apps

I got used to the look and feel of ICS calendar and email apps, which I prefer to their hTC counterparts.
Does the HOX come with these apps? If not, where can we find them (apk files)?
Cheers,
JP.

It comes with the HTC skin on top of it. I know you can install the stock email.apk (you will have 2 mails clients then but you could disable the htc one).
Don't know if calander.apk will work.
Thanks xmoo!
I got my HOX yesterday, and was happily surprised with the email app actually. I was previously using a Legend, and IMAP email has a serious bug: sent emails do not appear on the IMAP server.
Cheers,
JP.

The standard Adroid ICS calendar is still available in the widget drawer. But then as you mentioned, HTC has the best email client. Their calendar widget is not bad, furthermore you can resize the Agenda widget
I've installed Apex launcher to replace the somewhat limited Sense launcher, so I have no more access to the Sense widget. I prefer the look and simplicity of the Google Calendar widget.

ICS Calendar vs Sense Calendar

Nope. It's quite different on month view.
Personally, I think ICS is the best for detailed and smart month view, but both week and day view are equal ...
Since original question mentioned not to be root, flash update is just can't help but you can search "Android 4 ICS Calendar" on Google play (I can't post link cause I'm newcomer on XDA)
PS : flashing Gapps over sense with root won't help, nor simply save .apk from stock ICS and install it on your HTC One X. I tried, it failed ...
Good luck

Is there an alternative to Yahoo CM Weather Provide since it isn't working properly for me (It doesn't find my location with gps and not when I try to set it manual)
I'm sorry but I don't have this issue. I just relayed back what the guy said in the video for those who might not be able to watch. He posts this link for the APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz...iew?usp=drivesdk&pageId=110749994461407857445 Then says this: Install It And Go Back To Weather Provider Page From cLock>Weather Service>And Select Yahoo CM Weather Provider Now Back To Home Screen Wait For A second And Its Done!!!!!!!!!

What about the People widget from past HTC phones? I had found one that worked on the U11 until the most recent OTA update. Why did sense do away with that it was so handy for quick calls

Good...then I can delete my dropbox file link. I know there are a ton of these gallery apps, and as the earlier poster said it is not integratable with the camera. Why they get worse with future releases instead of better all so Google can scan our photos for buyer behavior and genetic factoids.

Its all good was just letting you know. That is the issue, HTC is slowly going all Goggle Apps. A few I like, a few get deleted right away, Messages, Google Music, Movies & TV, Docs, Slides, Sheets and Keep, I don't use that crap, lol

Don't use Google Music either but I find the play store has pretty good availability of some rare albums. If one buys an album there it goes in google music first. Only way cash and carry people can order stuff these days.
2. It is worth mentioning i have just found a solution to the awful white lock screen Android N style music title noodlefication...
Get this app it has its own notification style even on HTC U11:
