navigating evo without sense ui - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I tried looking for some information on this topic, but was not able to find any.
Is there a way to import all the widgets from sense ui to launcher? I have tried for example the clock and it doesn't behave like it does in sense.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

No you can't use sense Widgets unless you're using sense as your launcher.

Can I import some of the widgets from sense ui? I seen videos on google where the evo is running androind ui and almost all the widgets were accessible.
Is this possible?

Not possible. You were probably seeing "beautiful widgets" or something similar.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I have acquired alot of good widgets thanks to the info provided in this thread.
I must say I love running my evo without sense ui, amazing speed
Again thanks

o you can't have the htc widgets without sense so if thats what you're really looking for you're stuck using sense. thats the only launcher that allows those widgets

Just out of curiosity, which sense widgets can't you live without?
The thing with cyanogen is that it uses ADW launcher.. some fav it. some dislike it.. i personally dislike it, ill rather have basic 2.2 launcher like the nexus one.

Ohhh, give it a shot.. you might like it.. I like, MUCH better than the sense crap. You can use it with Cyano.
I like Zeam launcher.
It's light weight and crazy fast.
And it's home cooked by an xda modder!

Yeah Launcher Pro and beautiful widgets go together. ADW launcher just got to much of useless stuff for me
EDIT :And BTW. this should be moved in the Questions thread.

It's not about the rom, it's about wanting a home application that isn't Sense to be able to use Sense's widgets. The standard Nexus One launcher is included in even the stock rom, but you won't be able to load Sense's widgets onto it.
I have one recommendation, check out LauncherPro Plus. It comes with some of its own awesome widgets. They are honestly as good as Sense's calendar, people, bookmarks, and messages widgets. In fact, they look almost too much like a direct copy. You can scroll inside of them and even resize them. If those are the ones you want to keep, LauncherPro is what you want. In every other way, it is much like the stock launcher on Nexus One.
You will lose Friend Stream, but there are other widgets that can approximate that.
I reread your post. You asked for a Nexus One main screen and launcher. By main screen, do you mean the lockscreen? The one you have to drag your finger on to unlock your phone? If not, the home screen and list of programs are both handled by the launcher.
Here is what I would recommend:
Rom:
Cyanogen Mod 6 - It will make all of the menus and applications feel just like what you get on Nexus One.
Apps:
Fancy Widget - It looks and feels exactly like the HTC weather & clock widget that is the default on the main screen.
LauncherPro Plus - CM6 comes with ADW Launcher, which is pretty close to the vanilla Nexus One launcher, but LauncherPro Plus has its own widgets that look and function almost exactly like HTC's widgets.

I think you may want to clarify exactly what you want. As far as I understood the opening question, it was pretty well answered.
Currently CM6 is the only ROM that is not based on the HTC Sense stock ROM. It is instead based on the open source Android code, just like the Nexus One. There are a few tweaks that Cyanogen has added, like some extra settings, different boot screen, and some cosmetic tweaks. It also uses ADW launcher by default.
However you could just install the stock launcher on cyanogen mod, and other than the settings widget having blue highlights, you are pretty much at stock.
There is no way to use the HTC Sense widgets with anything besides the Sense launcher.
If all you care about is the launcher and lock screen, you can install just about any 2.2 rom, remove htclockscreen from /app/system, install the stock launcher, and you are done. In that case you would still have the HTC messaging, browser, calendar, etc.

[Q] Noobie widget questions regarding Cyanogen

Hi guys,
I'm quiet new to the forum and have a question. I have a rooted Desire, which I would like to install the Cyanogen ROM onto but, I would like to get some of the widgets which the default HTC Desire ROM offers.
Is this possible and if yes, where and which widgets can I get?
Thanks
AN

Does anybody know which apps offer widget kind looks / GUIs similar to HTCs defaults, on Cyanogen?

[Q]Turn HTC Sense Off[Q]

So I saw a video on YouTube on how to disable HTC Sense and use the default stock launcher, however that device was running 2.1 and so it won't work on my device...
I was just wondering is there anyway to disable sense without installing a separate ROM on 2.2, thanks.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I think the only way is with a new rom
You can't turn in off, as you can't install Sense on a non-sense rom.
However, you can install a different launcher, i think the gingerbread stock launher is on the market.
Because HTC Sense is built onto the Android interface, shouldn't closing HTC Sense enable the stock launcher? All HTC did was take the 2.1 nexus Rom and write Sense into it, they never removed a thing so surely there is a way?

Ahh thanks, they should give people a choice between Sense and the Stock Launcher. Fair do's people should just get the Nexus if that's what they are looking for, but the Nexus in the UK was only available on one network, and I for one completely prefer the standard Launcher, HTC Sense 1.0 (Desire Version) is very buggy and laggy.
It surprise me that you know how HTC made Sense and at the same time you don't even know what it is.
Like mentioned by Surfy89, Sense is way more then the htc launcer (rosie). If you want to get rid of Sense you need to flash a alternative rom (AOSP).
If you are talking about using a different launcher then the sense launcher (rosie), you can just install a alternative launcher from the market. So you do have the choice to use whatever launcher you want. Al tough the sense widgets won't work with a alternative launcher.

This is the video I saw: YouTube
I got the wrong info, sorry for wasting time
Even the comments under the video are saying it's an old feature.
Either install different launcher from the market (Launcher Pro, Zeam, Go Launcher ... plenty of them) or root and flash a custom AOSP rom. That's the way to go.

Watched the video on my mobile, and didn't see the comments for this reason, would just like to say thankyou for everyone that has corrected my wrongs I now have Oxygen 2.0.

sense with launcher pro?

is there a theme that lets u use sense while having the launcher pro dock? gf wants it bad and im in a hurry sorry it was posted before
what rom are you on?
You can't use the sense widgets while you are running LauncherPro.
If you are running a sense based rom, you can have some sense items, like the dialer and other sense apps, but you can't use the sense widgets if you're not using the sense launcher.
He doesnt mean widget. Just sense look a like. I beloved there's many docks that resemble the sense out there search
If your using cm7 go to android theme forums there's a thread with sense theme engine thingy
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
well i thought i seen a rom that uses sense but has the lp dock wasnt sure i been lookin for hrs and just quit and posted had to leave shes on twopointtwo rls5 and im on rls1
Check out Konikub's Elite S3. It's a full Sense ROM, but the dock (Rosie) can be customized like LauncherPro. Only thing is it only has 3 buttons instead of 5 like LauncherPro does.

Virus airborne series is a lot like this. Senseless correct? Has everything from stock but is built around Launcher pro.
The LPP widgets are a lot like sense widgets...

Airborne is an awesome ROM, it's what I am running right now. I don't really think it does what the OP is looking for though. Also, you don't get the widgets unless you buy LP Plus.

Yea you're right but for 3 dollars its the closest and best semi-sense experience in my opinion.

[Q] How to enable HTC Sense Widgets in ADW launchers

Hi
I recently shifted to the ADW launcher because of the unsightly HTC sense dock at the bottom of the screen. But then I am unable to access HTC sense widgets, like the music widget for example. I am aware that I have the option of getting a Pure Music kinda app to solve this problem. But I just wanted to know if there is any way of moving around the HTC Music Widget apk file (or any other file for that matter) so that it is activated in ADW?
I have seen the same (similar) question across a lot of different forums and the answer has always been "NO". But hope springs eternal
Thanks
ucannot have sense widget's if u move onto another launcher

You can't add sense widgets in another launcher, but may i ask you why do you use adw launcher instead of nova launcher or spex launcher? Adw launcher is so old, is made for gingerbread and froyo. Nova and apex are made only for ICS.

I guess I just grew comfortable with ADW over the years. Thanks for the suggestion, I shall try out nova / spex.
The result with Nova and Spex will be the same. HTC widgets work with the supplied HTC launcher only.
yeah that's true. But I don't understand why they have to be so microsoftishly possessive that it limits the users customisation needs. The lockscreen for example, I personally find their renowned "ring" quite blingy and there seems to be no way to edit it. So if i install MIUI locker to customise the lockscreen I occassionally have to deal with two lockscreens - first the HTC ring and then whatever else I have set. C'est la vie!
You cannot add sense widgets to adw but do not worry, use apw widgets, these look very similar to sense widgets...
Well as close as you can get without being sued by HTC ofcourse...

Hey thanks again. I tried apw and it was quite nice. But I am specifically looking for a replacement for the Sense music widget. In any case i shall give the wizz a look over.
