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.
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,

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
I've got a rooted and deodexed Inc2 running Virtuous Unitity 2.39. Ihave the HTC Sense 3.0 it comes with as well as GO Launcher...and have Home Switcher App to change from one to the other.
It seems to me that having the 5 button selection bar on the bottom (that can be swiped and added to unlimited times) is so much more efficient use of space and provides better choice that it removes any rationale to have anything like HTC Sense with it's standard three choices (and only two which are really used much).
What am I missing? Why can't others have the great lower selection choices of GO Launcher (is it correct calling this the Rosie bar?)? What does the HTC Sense give me that is more functional and useable?
The VU2.3.9 runs fine and was a clean and easy install.
If you change the launcher from Sense to something else, don't you lose the other Sense add-ons like the Weather Widget, Lock Screen and Themes?
You do lose the sense Widgets but like go and launcher pro they have built in Widgets. The lockscreen is an additional apk. Themes will stick as far as status bar goes. Also launcher pro, adw, and go launcher have downloadable themes.

The only reason I use Sense 3.0 is for the gadgets and the purdy interface, I would have switch to something else like the gingervanilla, other AOSP or RMK debloated stock rom if I were to use Go launcher.
You do lose some Sense widgets, but the lockout screen stays tied to Sense. For example, I have the weather on the lockout screen, but even when I switch to GO, the lockout screen after has the fancy weather animation.
I get a "sense" that there is not really a reason to deal with the HTC Sense launcher other than looks, but if I am wrong, let me know where.
I do know that I love having the 5 button rosie which I can spin to more 5 button rosies at the bottom. Much better use of screen real estate.
Sense is nice and its all preference
Can you know to me what's this your theme ?
i like the battery...Im using ROM BAMF...so Can I use this theme?

Are you sayin that running LauncherPro Plus over Sense you can still load the Sense widgets, and they work?

No launcher pro plus has the "sense" widgets built into the launcher. They are look alike

I didn't like the sense-like Widgets. They didn't have the same feel as the real thing. But I do still prefer LP to anything else including Sense (most of the time)
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I think that is a loaded question. My thinking is Sense is for people that like Sense and AOSP roms are for people that don't care for it. I'm just trying to make things simple.
IMO, sense feels more professional, while anything else is for enthusiasts. And the Widgets in lpp are cool and all, but really they are a joke compared to the sense Widgets. And the intergration is nice too, something aosp hasn't done yet.

I actually don't care for the Sense widgets or the Rosie launcher at all. I use the Pure Messenger widget from the Market, and while it's not as pretty as a Sense widget, it combines e-mail, text/sms messages, phone calls, facebook and twitter into a single messaging widget as opposed to Sense's separate widgets for each.
As for the launcher, I just can't justify dedicating the whole bottom of the screen to 2 buttons - the app drawer and the phone button. The customize button is stupid, once you have the phone set up the way you like, that button is largely useless.
Of course, these are just my opinions, but to me, Sense is far from superior/more professional than anything else.
The Clock with weather is the main reason most stick to Sense, it has a cleaned look/feel that add to the homescreen. I personally can't do AOSP I miss the weather clock from sense until I switch back, I love unlocking my phone to a new animation

Fancy widget pro is better than the sense clock, you can get the senseclock, plus tons of different themed clocks, that is what i use. I like the sense photo album widget, which is pretty much the only widget that doesn't have a replacement app. I can't say i enjoy sense when very much and i usually run an AOSP rom (omfgb currently) but have a couple nice sense rom backups on my phone for when I'm itching to use sense.
Is it possible to get sense 3.0 widgets for cm7?
No, the frameworks don't match.
I am saddened. Deeply Saddened. The HTC weather widget is so sick, but I am tired of my Sense 3.0 ROM lagging like crap and having random force closes.
Is there anything that resembles the HTC weather app?
id be suprised if you cant download it straight from the market to be honest. you can get every other sense widget or copy of sense widget from the market im sure you can get this one.

If you just want the clock widget, there are lots of 'copy-cat' Sense widgets in the market.

I'm actually just looking for the weather app. The sense 3.0 weather app is just frigging spectacularly mind blowing.
All other widgets are okay...
I tried the GO Weather but it's not the same...
EDIT: I tried searching on google, XDA, and the market, to no avail.
My search strings were
htc sense widgets
sense weather widget
sense weather
etc
etc
help?
What Sense 3 ROM are you running ? I wouldn't say that Unity was too laggy with overclocking,must admit the widgets are part of the reason that I sticking with sense,Ive yet to see an alternative to sense contacts.
Launcher Pro(Paid version) has a clock/weather widget that is similar or fancy widgets could be an option ?
I tried it, didn't like it.
I tried LPP plus, adw ex, zeam, remus, SPB 3D, MXHOME, honeycomb launcher, launcher 7, nothing works.
Currently using GO EX launcher.
I also spent a ton of time searching for the exact same thing... hoping I could get the Sense clock/weather widget on CM7. The closest thing I've been able to find is, as bombadier suggested, Fancy Widgets. It's not exactly the same, but it is pretty close, and has different skins you can use and easily switch back and forth.
