I know there's a couple other posts out there mentioning this. None in the Desire section, so some devs may not have seen. Is anyone willing to get scrollable widgets working on HTC Sense? Best of both worlds would be great!
I read something about HTC disabling api apart from on their own widgets, therefore not allowing you to use your own scrollable widgets, sob's.

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.
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.
Quick question: Is there ANY possible way to get Sense widgets on non-Sense ROMS for the evo. For example the flip clock or the nice weather widgets? I already know the beautiful widgets and fancy widgets, but I want to know if there is a way to use the HTC EVO to get those widgets on my EVO running CM7.
No. The widgets are dependent on Sense (more specifically, the Sense launcher).
I just installed the Amethyst gingerbread port... wow. It is so amazingly quick and responsive.. and some of the features are amazing.. I particularly like the music player.
but I miss the Sense experience.
so does anyone know of a *great* theme going round that offers a decent looking clock and weather widget? I'd rather avoid paying, but I will if necessary.

It's a direct copy of the HTC clock/weather widget that was removed from the Market. It was always free so I'm not breaking any rules posting this, btw
cool, thanks.
can you think of anything else worth adding to bring back that familiar feeling?
Not really, other than the Sense Live wallpaper
oh thought of something.. do you know of any htc widgets floating around on the net?
LauncherPro has some sense-like widgets but in full version only.
Sense widgets, funnily enough, only work with Sense
I really miss the 2D Sense gallery, manual focus from Sense Camera and HTC Facebook sync...
This features make me always come back to Sense (HD)...
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.
