Sense widgets in rom w/o Sense

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.

[Q] HTC/Sense FriendStream in CM7?

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.

Sense 3.0 weather lockscreen for Sense 2.1????

Hi! Its probably ridiculus to ask wether it is possible to get the beautiful weather lockscreen (Sense 3.0) ported to Sense 2.1?
I tried Capys Kingdom Rom v.0.2 and it is great, but there are still to many things which do not work right for me. So i switched back to RCMixHD6.1.0.1.
But I really miss this great weather lockscreen with its 3D animation.
Does anybody know?

currently only available by the hand of @capychimp
maybe soon some dev´s encourage to incorporate it

If you'll use Android Revolution HD you can use the Addons posted in the 2. Post there.

sense hardware acceleration

hi devs, is there any way to enable HW acceleration of sense 2.1? it is not so smooth as it should be (for example weather widget...it is laggy when showing rain animation) and also ring lockscreen is a bit laggy

The weather animation is already processed by the graphic card, and the processor is more than cap able of handling the lock screen, only problem is in their implementation of it.If you pay attention, you can notice the lag going away after you pull the ring around the screen a couple of times.Plus, rendering the whole UI on the Adreno 200 will make it a whole lot more lagging.

lockscreen lags because of icons, they make it slower...you can try sense 3.5 rom where you can disable icons on lockscreen and it will be smooth without them...is there any way to disable icons on 2.1 lockscreen? or will 3.5 lockscreen work with sense 2.1?

No, not really, I'm using sense 3.5 on my wildfire s, and even though I have all four icons present, it lags like for the first half a second(around the same as stock), then it becomes smooth.And why don't you just get a sense 3.5 ROM?

I'm waiting for sense3.5 rom with stock ui (no theming) and with fixed friend stream FC

Sense4 based AOSP ROM

Sense: launcher (only Sense homescreens with ICS icons) + widgets (with basic apps like mail, calendar etc...) + music enhancements + camera
ICS: appdrawer and basically everything else (framework, SystemUI, menus/dialogs/options etc,,,),
is there something like that somewhere?
I assume it's should be possible as there are many seperate mods floating around for AOSP lockscreen, AOSP notification pulldown, etc... On a fast Sense base it should have been a heck of a ROM.

I believe the Sense ROMs Sabsa and Viper both have mods like that included, either with Viper's tweaks or Sabsa's AROMA installer. However, Sense and AOSP (I'm assuming you just mistyped AOKP) are such different bases (Sense being proprietary) that actually trying to meld the two equally will likely be very difficult.

Like I mentioned there are those seperate mods, but unfortunately nothing like full AOSP framework or settings apk on Sense.

I'm pretty sure Sense needs its own framework to work. It's why we can't just flash a Sense camera.apk or Sense launcher.apk on an AOSP ROM. You could also start with an AOSP ROM and try to theme it like Sense, say with a 3rd-party launcher and Sense-themed widgets.

That's a no-go. Ugly widgets, no Sense apps
