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 have the latest Fresh rom installed on my EVO with the vanilla lock + vanilla clock. I use my phone as an alarm clock and used it for the first time this morning since installing Fresh. I use the alarm that is included with the htc flip clock widget. When the alarm went off this morning, I used the slider and the alarm would not turn off. It kept going off until I force closed the clock application.
Is there a way to get the vanilla lock screen to turn off the HTC alarm clock? I suppose I can use a 3rd party alarm clock, but I would prefer to use the one included with the phone.
Thanks!
One of the vanilla lock tweaks you can download from the fresh updater includes the correct clock for vanilla. I think it's vanilla lock +clock-wordclock or something like that.
Indeed...do not use the HTC clock. Use the vanilla clock from the updater.

Thank you gentlemen. I do believe I am sorted.
even with the fresh updater, i am unable to get this to install, does anyone have the .zip?
You might have to do it manually in recovery. I think that's how I did it when fresh/dc and clockwork weren't playing nicely with each other.
I'm a beginner, but I've been trying to read up the various posts/wikis around, so I think I have the basics down. I have root and started playing around with various Sense ROMs (because I was familiar with the default Inc ROM, whatever it's called, stock ROM or something?) but a friend has been raving about how he loves Cyanogen (albeit he has a DRIOD) so I tried it out, and liked it.
I really liked the combo weather/clock widget that is included with the HTC Sense UI though, and I was hoping I could somehow copy the .apk files over to the SD card, and then install them after flashing a non-Sense ROM. I've found a few that look promising, like weather.apk and com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk, but after copying them over, nothing would show up in the app or widget menus, so I think I'm either missing files, or it just won't work.
From the little I know, I'm guessing it's perhaps because there are some system files or calls or something specific to the Sense UI that the widget requires to run?
I saw in Titanium backup that certain apps appear to be tied to certain ROMs, for example TB won't let me install "cyanogen settings" on a non-cyanogen ROM.
Is there just a fundamental difference in the code or somewhere that will stop the weather widget from working? Or can I edit or copy enough files to get this to work? Are there replacements for the weather widget? I saw several posts about something called beautiful widgets, but I also heard that it's either no longer available, doesn't work well, or has other problems.
Less importantly, I also prefer the sense keyboard, calculator, and dialer to the cyanogen ones, can any of those be ported over? Or do they have the same problems?
You cannot use Sense widgets with launchers other than Sense. They are tightly integrated.
There's nothing wrong with BW. It's highly customizable and functional. It's definitely still in the market and definitely still being supported.
Cool, I'll go get that.
Any ideas about the calc/dialer/launcher? I don't think those count as widgets, but maybe they're integrated into Sense also.
They are integrated, with the exception of the HTC keyboard. Search for HTC_IME.
If you want your sense items, you will need to run a sense Rom =/

DialerOne
DialerOne will allow for speed dialing in an AOSP ROM.
If you used that feature w/ the Sense-based ROMs, that app is a nice way to get speed dial back. Note that it will replace whatever stock dialer is on the ROM.
Also, the only other place I know of that gives the cool clock/weather for AOSP ROMs is BeautifulWidgets - a paid app from the market.
FWIW - the HTC Flashlight does work in AOSP ROMs.

Fancy Widget Pro
You can skin Fancy Widget Pro to look like the Sense Flip Clock. This is the closest thing to it.
Thanks, I guess the short answer was basically that I just need to get replacements for everything, or learn to like the AOSP versions. Did get Beautiful Widgets though, looks good.
I would like to get the HTC sense clock with stopwatch/timer and so on to work with MIUI. From what I've read other places this is probably the WorldClock.apk from the sense rom's. Is there any way to install this?
If you want the HTC Sense like clock you would probally want to download "Fancy Widget" and download the theme for it named "H7C Clock" I think. Though it doesnt have the same shortcuts, you can edit the setting to make the clock launch applications by touching a certain part if the clock. Hope i helped
I plan on using the Uber Kingdom gingerbread Sense 3.0 rom once it hits beta 2. However, I do not want to lose my current themed clock widget. I've looked through the framework/apks for the rom but could not find an apk containing the picture files that would need to be replaced. They are obviously hiding somewhere though. Would anyone happen to know where to look?
