I've been looking around on XDA and found a few transparent widgets for HTC's music app. However, it appears that these are only working on Eclair, because I can't get them to install no matter what I do.
These are the one's I've tried to install using Metamorph as well as the standard application installer:

Would it be possible to get a .APK or something to allow the widget to work on LauncherPro or another non-TouchWiz Launcher?
Okay, according to Astro, the apk is located in /system/app/JobManager.apk (you need root access to get to the file)
I hate to break it but it's never that simple. Porting widgets that require framework is impossible, see htc sense!

Yeah, i did some more background research about it yesterday, and it's the same issue with Sense widgets being built into the launcher. I thought this might be different, because we still have access to the application even though we don't to the widget. Oh well.
You can still access the task manager by holding the home button.
I'm currently running leedroid's HTC Sense Rom on my desire, but i've installed the MIUI roms on my moms and a friends Desire and I really like the GUI changes they've made.
I'm thinking about using MIUI on my phone now, but I don't think I can live without HTC's Clock app.
I've tried a bunch of clock/alarm/timer apps in the market, nothing is as good as HTC's. And I can't find any they have all those things integrated into one app. The other seperate apps for timer or alarm are also ugly compared to HTC's.
So Is there anyway to get the HTC Clock app to work on a non sense rom? I don't really need the widgets or the related weather app and widgets. All i really want is the clock app.
I tried opening up the zip file of leedroids rom and copying all the clock or weather named APK files to my SD card. None of them would install though.
download Wearher & Toggle Widget from android market.there is a similar skin as in htc clock.

As I mentioned I'm not really concerned about the widgets. I want the HTC clock app that has Tabs along the bottom to switch between the clocks, alarms, stopwatch & timer.

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.
Yesterday i made the update from 4.1.2 to 4.2(both versions were installed OTA) and seems like i have the old Play Music, no music widget for lockscreen, only Calendar, Digital clock, Gmail and Messaging...My version is v4.4.811, so the old one.
I tried to update G.Play Music from market but there shows i have the latest version, this version.
Tried to download latest update as .apk but i can't install via File Manager ''App not installed''
When i made the update i had Apex Launcher installed, tried to uninstall the Launcher, same version.

There is no music widget for the lock screen. Unless you're playing music, then it appears.

Hi, I'm on the Jelly Thunder ROM and love its Gmail theme. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Pure Messenger widget. I usually use the modified apk provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199518 but then I lose the theme. I tried following the directions in the link to do it myself, but I'm not that good. Is anyone able to get it to work? Many thanks in advance
