Hi,
is this possible, can i use the widgets from sense in the launcher of zeam? Becuase i like the sense widgets, but i more like the launcher and the speed of the zeam ...
thx
Notb really, any launcher dependant widgets can't be used without that launcher whether its sense, LP or whatever....
and then there was root....
Well I do have root, how can i get sense widgets into the zeam launcher, or into any other launcher?
thx

It is not possible to use sense widgets with anyother launcer, you can get sense style widgets using launcher pro plus.
I'm using LPP on my desire z and its really quick and stable,
Sent from my HTC Desire Z with gingerbread.
That's very disappointing, i mean, there has to be a way to kinda 'unlock' the widgets from sense in other launchers, because the stock google ones CAN be used... or maybe intigrate the widgets from htc into the google widgets data base in the rom or something.... maybe i should check that out, maybe its just as easy as copy paste tho i dont really think so...

It's not that simple. Sense is an more interlinked build of android than a stock android build. You want to take the widgets out from the rosie launcher and put them onto a third party launcher, am I right? So you will need to decompile the launcher and remove the widgets, then integrate them into the kernel. But WAIT! You will also need to port over the necessary framework parts. Okay, you've done all that and the widgets are there. But WAIT! They don't work! So know you need to backport the HTC apps that relate to that widget. By the time you are done with that, you pretty much have an entire sense build, thereby defeating the purpose. Basically, unless you know a LOT of backsmali, you won't be able to do this.
The are alternative widgets on the market, for example Beautiful widgets, fancy widget, pure calendar widget, etc. Launcher pro plus also has nearly all of the imitation sense widgets built in too.
haha i already thought it wouldnt be that simple... looks like i really don't have the programming skills to climb this mountain, to bad . Thx tho for the explanation. I got smarter again

Hi there! I just flashed CM6 RC2 and its great! What isnt so great is, that I can no longer use my sense widgets! The clock looked awesome. The contacts app and the dialer were great too!
Is there an option to flash some parts from sense with an update.zip and if so, can I still use ADW launcher which comes with CM6 or isnt this possible?
Im sure CM is Stock Froyo and not sense, which means none of the Sense stuff is installed. You would need to use a Sense rom to use these.
OP try Fancy Widget for the clock. Although you may have to search online as HTC had it removed from the market for copying lol.
Also dialerone with the light theme is close-ish to the sense dialer.
yup, CM is stock Froyo.
The thing is that I want to use CM but with sense.
It would be even better to use CM with the ADW Launcher.
Can you please point me out to a thread where I can read how to cook such a rom?

Read the post above you.
Google Fancy widget and try that.
Try DiallerOne for the dialler.
If you use Launcher Pro then there are sense style Calendar, Bookmarks, Messaging and Contacts widgets with that.
The HTC widgets depend on HTC Sense. No HTC Sense = No HTC widgets.
No.
There is no replacement for HTC friendstream, news, message or mail widget and especially not for the album and direct Facebook sharing.

ty!
Fancy widget is okayish to replace the clock/weather widget.
I also installed and already purchased Launcher pro a feew minutes ago cus it is simply a great app!
The only thing I am missing now are the sense contacts and the sense clock app.
I know that I cant use the widgets with Launcher Pro but is the following thing possible:
-flashing a sense rom
-use Launcher Pro as launcher
-use sense contacts and sense clock? I am not talking about the widgets but about the apps?
Will try this out tomorrow but maybe you can save me the hassle if it isnt even possible

no, even if u have a sense rom, if you use launcher pro or any other launcher, then it disables sense and you cant use any of the sense stuff.

pure messenger widget does most of that
Using weather and toggle widgets and have to wonder if it is causing part of my battery life degradation. I use LauncherPro and love the way my device is setup but really want to use the stock HTC clock and weather. Is that possible? How?
It's not possible to use Sense widgets outside of Rosie, the Sense launcher. There are some copycat widgets out there, but you can't use the real HTC ones.

Thanks...is there a way to modify the Sense launcher to look like LauncherPro? Cant stand the stock dock and like the ability to launch my five favorites from any screen.
No problem. You can install themes depending on the ROM you're using. But you're probably better off using LauncherPro and widgets that take the place of Sense widgets.

Using Baked Snack 1.8. Is it odd to think that the widgets I mentioned good causing battery drain, especially opposed to the stock Clock/Weather or am I dreaming?
Is there a way to edit the stock HTC dock?
not easily. If you are familiar with creating actual themes and modifying the framework apks then yes. if not then i would look for an existing theme that makes the dock look closer to how you want.
As stated above you are better off looking for replacement widgets and using LP.
the widgets would be causing battery drain but it shoudl be very easy to test ... remove them for a day or 2 and compare.
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'm trying out a new launcher (ZEAM) and it looks like HTC Sense still stays open in the background.. how do I get rid of it completely? I don't want 2 launchers running..
Also - anyway to use the HTC Widgets on Zeam? I love the Calendar widget and the weather/clock one

Here is calkulins flashable zip that will completely remove HTC sense from your phone. This will also remove all sense widgets I believe. Also, I have never used Zeam launcher, but I would speculate that you can't use HTC sense widgets on it (at least you cant with launcher pro or adw launcher). They only work with sense. There are quite a few other widgets out there though that look very similar to HTC's widgets.

Also here is a link to calk's page that all sorts of mods/tweaks/goodies and such. Useful bookmark. They work on pretty much any sense rom.

hi every one when i install nova launcher i loose my original sense widgets how can i get them back?
You can't get them with a 3rd party launcher.
If you want sense widgets... Use the sense rosie launcher.
As for some specific widgets like clocks... I believe there is a port for other launchers.
Generally, you'll have to use sense launcher to use sense widgets.
