Hey guys...
I know I'm late in the game but I just got launcher pro now and while I see the potential I'm also seeing some negative aspects...
I relied heavily on my favorites and agenda widgets and now I can't use them (don't even show up under widgets with lp)...what gives? Are there alternatives to these two?
What about htc weather?
I guess my question is...what htc apps/widgets don't work under lp and are there good alternatives for them?
Thanks!

No HTC widgets will work on LP. Search the market for diff calendar widgets and such.

LauncherPro Plus comes with a few Sense like widgets- People, Calendar, Bookmarks, Messaging, Twitter, and Facebook. They are just as good as the Sense ones IMHO.
For the clock with weather download Beautiful Widgets or search xda for the .apk for Fancy Widget.
fancy widget looks exactly like the sense weather/clock widget if your looking for something like that

This has been answered to death all over these forums. The htc widgets will absolutely NOT work without Sense. Period.
As much as I would love to completely dump Sense I think htc really hit the mark on several of their widgets for which there is no equal in the market yet (Scrollable RSS, scrollable Exchange Mail).
However, if you are only looking for favorites and agenda I would recommend checking out LauncherPro Plus. It is a steal at $2.99 and the developer has been working diligently developing widgets with similar functionality to the HTC Sense widgets of which the Favorites, Bookmarks, Calendar, Facebook, Twitter, and Messaging are already done (Future updates are included in the $2.99 price).
I go back and forth between Fresh's ROM which has Sense and CyanogenMod which does not, however, without LauncherProPlus I would not even consider it.

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 heard from several of my friends who own Acer / HTC devices that there's supposed to be a native google calendar widget. However, on my i9000 I can't find it under either Android Widgets or Samsung widgets.
I downloaded a calendar widget from the market, but it doesn't look as good as the "native" one my friend showed me. Any idea where one could obtain that particular widget?
i couldnt find one either, the samsung widgets overall are very poor compared to sense UI, some of the apps are quite nice, but need more widgets.

i find this quite annoying too.. I'm now using smooth calendar from the market.
Did samsung block some of the native android widgets? or just not include? would we be able to install them without root?
I'm gonna bump this one. I really dislike the non-stock versions I find out there. I just want the stock google one. Please, someone help?
bump,
I would also like a calendar widget. Stock widgets are always better quality than custom ones

I love that thing. It has all the news you want from your sources displayed and scrollable. You don't need to click into anything like all the other widgets or apps. I can't seem to find anything exactly like it.
Curious if you ever found a solution. I'd love to dump Sense for Cyanogen but some of the HTC widgets have no equal in the Marketplace; the newsreader widget being one of them.
Is there any way to get the actual FriendStream app working in CM7? I know about Launcher Pro Plus widgets and similar programs like Pure Messenger Widget, but I'm curious about getting some of the actual Sense apps working.
Any tips/advice appreciated!
short answer is no. sense apps/widgets will never work except on a sense base ROM, and CM is aosp.
best thing you can do is find replacement widgets from the market.

Hey guys
I was wondering if it was possible to have htc widgets on a rom which is not sense? I did look for an answer but couldnt find anything.
Thanks
Hey,
as far as I know this sadly isn't possible. The widgets will only work on a sense rom.
But you can have a look at the widgets and apps by the Go Dev team. For example there's a GoWeather widget, with different themes available so it can be made to look like the htc's clock and weather widget. It is a pretty acceptable substitute.
And try the pure calendar and pure grid calendar widgets too
There are apps in the market and in the apps forum that have similar look/feel to the HTC widgets, but you won't be able to simply copy an .apk of a HTC sense clock and just put it on a non-Sense phone unfortunately.
