on a sense rom like fresh how would one go about, through apk editing/hacking or otherwise, how would one go about making sense widgets appear in nonsense launchers. i was thinking that you could insert the necessary frameworks and whatnot into the clock widget apk and make it look for them inside the apk instead of the htc framework but i have no idea how you would do this or if it even would work
at least is there a way to copy the weather animations somehow?
edit- after some research apparently the stock android framework doest support animated widgets which is kinda sad.
Exactly...it wont work

yea sadly there is not much hope of getting the animated weather portion of the widget onto other launchers. you can find alternatives to the clock look however with out the weather animations.

Beautiful Widgets, Weather and Toggle Widget, and a few others are your only options. Beautiful Widgets is pretty cool. It's got a 4x1 version that basically has the same info -- I'd probably use it even if I did go back to the Sense launcher for some reason.
ya i use beautifulwidgets and i love the customizability but nothing beats those clouds and sunrays flashing of your home screen
too bad someone couldnt figure out how sense does animated widgets and make an openDorothy framework or something that other launchers could piggyback off of to support animated widgets
to those who dont get openDorothy: htc codenamed sense rosie, most noticeable in the actual apk which is called simply rosie.apk.
in the jetsons the maid was named rosie (pic) and was a robot.
in the old anime from the late '99/early '00 the big o there is an android named R. Dorothy Wayneright (pic) who is the main characters assistant. while not technically a maid, its close enough.
so to sum it up, htc sense is codenamed rosie which reminds me of rosie the robot who was a robotic maid which also made me think of r. dorothy who is sort of like a maid and is more advanced than rosie the robot, implying that if someone were able to make the piggyback framework it would be superior to htc sense. also "open"dorothy because it would be better off as opensource. simple right? lol
I remember that i used htc sense lw on my nexus one, and i like it a lot... Is possible to port the lw to sgs?
I tried to install the .zip in this page
but it didn't worked, the apk is installed in system/app, but it doesn't appear on live wallpaper menu
same... i think that a porting is necessary
Is there a 2.3 otA that has been rooted and debloated? Thank you
Try the Incredibly Debloated ROM by lefty here.
There's also RMK's debloated version (which I believe Lefty's is based on) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161411
I've been running this and it's great - no issues whatsoever.
And if you don't use Sense (and therefore can't use any of the Sense widgets), I made an even more debloated version of this (RMK's rom). Think of it as sort of a SuperClean version. I removed the following:
*ALL* widgets
Skin Picker
Wood skin
Metal skin
Slate skin
HTC Wallpapers
Mode 10 Wallpapers
Image Wallpaper
Magic Smoke Wallpapers
Weather Wallpaper
Live Wallpaper Picker
Adobe Flash installer
Rosie (the Sense launcher)
Quick Office
Footprints
Mail
GReader
Stocks
Friend Stream
Flickr
Protips
Instant Messaging
Twitter
Facebook
Connected Media
Weather (including the associated apks)
Visual Voicemail (although VVM still shows up in the app drawer as part of the SMS app)
All extra wallpapers, skin and bookmark thumbnails
The launcher has been replaced with the free market version of ADW, which itself can be removed once you install your launcher of choice.
I was just tired of removing all this stuff after flashing the ROM. You can add in any of these by downloading RMK's original rom and manually coping the desired APK's into /system/app. If/when I have time, I may look into some subtle interface tweaks (expanded reboot menu, things like that), but for now, it's just RMK's rom with all that stuff removed.

Hi
im using gingersense 4 now for a few days ->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680418
and everything is fine but "westito" deleted the widgets for some reason so now i want my music, calculator and my weather information back.
So could anybody help me to get the stock widgets ?
thx
somebody ? xP
You cannot use Sense widgets without Sense launcher.
Gingersense 4 has xperia launcher, so it us useless to leave Sense widgets in rom, you cannot add them to screens.
Dowload from market apw (android Pro widgets), there are also nice ics skins (not for free).
to bad
thx
Hello Friendz ...
Here is a clone of HTC Sense Rosie 2.0 for your android device. In this apk some sense widgets force close like Sense Calander. And custom wallpaper not fully apply to some xhdpi screens.
If someone mod this apk and add "allapps" image on top of launcher.xml i will appreciate his work. Then the app will looks much closer to Rosie 2.0. I have already add allapps.png image add in drawable folder.
Thats it. Hope you enjoy it and dont forget to say Thanks.
Here are some screenshots
