Does anyone make one cuz i don't want to give up my sense widgets for it. Or I guess if there is a way to use sense widgets on launcher pro that would be even better
i dunno if i'm aloud to, but i want to bump this up since it is buried
i have never seen a way to do this in sense. I doubt it is possible.
As another option MOST widgets can be replaced with 3rd party widgets that are very close to sense.
ie
clock/weather/toggles - beautiful widgets (or clock and weather from fancy widgets)
Bookmarks - if you get launcherPro Plus (paid version) you get this
contact widget - see above or try mecontacts free
if you have a specific widget other then those you love in sense let me know i probably have a very similar replacement.
s there away to have launcher pro but still have htc sense?And with the widgets?
yes you can swicth between both
technically no because sense is basically a launcher over top of standard android. its either one or the other. however launcher pro has sense themes on their site if you dont really care about the sense widgets much.
This should be in Q & A and not Android Dev...

Like the others said, you can have both Sense & LauncherPro, & switch between them, but you can't have the Sense Widgets on LauncherPro. There are plenty of look-alikes in the market you can use though.
additionally if you get launcherpro plus you get a decent replacement for most of the sense widgets that have been remade for launcher pro and can resize widgets which is prettynice.
Add SwitchPro to that mix and you've got everything you need! Heck, between the triple-scrolling task bar at the bottom, 8 SP slots for all my radios and functions I access, three normal shortcuts, and a resized calendar widget, I have everything on one home screen.
Not to forget that you can get up to 7 by 9 icons on the home screen and a rolling apps listing in "3D".
EasyHome
I use an app from the market called EasyHome. It places shortcuts of different launchers on your homescreen! I have sense, adw-launcher, launcherpro, and an experimental AndroidWindows7 launcher.

Oh i thought yuo could do those with the non paid version! even more bonus.
I have had the paid since it came out so hard to keep up with all the benefits there are tons. worth every cent.
Why would you want it
Thread moved to Q&A.
Why would you want it
i could see someone who really likes the sense widgets wanting to but thats why launcherpro plus has recreated them. with out purchasing any apps(or launchers) it is very hard to replace all the sense widgets with something that is as good as what sense has (widget wise).
If you look you can find many that are close but a lot are paid apps. personally i still think your best bet is to simply buy the plus version of launcher pro and as mentioned switchpro. between the two and a few free apps you can replace almost every sense widget.
while its easy to ask why would you its not hard to see why someone would want to if they didnt have knowledge of which apps to get to replace the sense widgets and lets be honest looking for anything in the market is no easy task if you dont know its name.
I love reading the little blurbs on the scrollable widget from the stock HTC Newsfeed widget, but I got Launcher Pro and whatnot recently I started to use launcher pro+, bought a bunch of apps and widgets and made it all pretty, but I can't seem to find a solid RSS type widget similar to the HTC one, I loved that one!
I was wondering if there's a way to bring it over to Launcher Pro or if there was a good alternative to it?
I am currently running the destroyer V2 abd love it the only thing i miss is the HTC calendar widget that came factory with the phone.. Is there any way to get that back while still using this ROM??
nope, you cant port sense stuff to aosp as most sense stuff is heavily reliant on htc framework, and is probably engineered to only work on sense launcher anyways. BUT launcher pro plus does have some very sense-like widgets. i'd try it if i were you. calendar is one of the especially senseish ones. i personally perfer adw ex, but for your needs, i'd go with launcher pro plus.
Try Jorte. The colors are kinda funny stock, but if you set it to be transparent it looks cool (at least I think it does), and gives me the month view.
Hi
I quite like the facebook and twitter widgets for launcher pro however go launcher seems more customisable but i dont want to lose those widgets so can anyone think of a good replacement for the widgets?

Colorize Widget is the closest one I have found.
Free too
You might want to try this. It's Kamma's Status Updater and should fit your needs perfectly.
Or if you don't fancy that then you could pick up Pure Messenger widget and configure it to just show your twitter and facebook updates (although personally I find it a little bit sluggish for scrolling).
