I really enjoyed the note widget that came with Sense, but now I'm on the Kingdom Rom which didn't come with it. I searched around the market and the closest one I could find was Whiteboard, but it doesn't let me draw directly on the home screen. Any ideas?
Add Widget>Get More HTC Widgets>Notes.
Edit: Didnt See That You Tried It Already.
Is it possible that we can install the apk from a stock sense rom?
I used the task widget one and now I am forgetting stuff. lol. My phone runs my life.
Yeah I went through the HTC Hub and I only found the Word of the Day, Daily Challenge, and Fortune Cookie. I do enjoy the Daily Challenge, but I still miss my HTC Notes
I was wondering that as well. Unfortunately, I don't have the skillset to try to extract the widget from an earlier version of Sense.

I am getting a Desire soon and personally I would rather remove Sense UI, but this is not longer possible the easy way.
Can anyone explain if you can remove sense another way? I have heard people say to use Launcher2 or HelixLauncher to get the 3D app drawer and the nexus one launcher. Can anyone confirm this works?
Thanks!
Yep if your install either you can make them default and use them instead but it will still have the Sense theming of all the apps / status bar etc and obv the HTC widgets wont work
ok thanks or the quick reply
so if i use either of these launchers i will not be able to use HTC widgets?
and when/if the desire gets rooted i'll be able to stick a nexus one rom on?
has anyone had any experience with either of these launchers on the desire?
im new to android so i apologise for the noobish questions
Not a problem
Nope you won't be able to use the HTC Widgets... but you can launch the HTC Sense launcher at any time and get access to your widgets though it's a bit of hassle doing that everytime hence i'm gonna stick with htc sense launcher myself.
Both the nexus launcher and helix work great on my Desire, no problems as far as i've been using it.
Not sure about putting then nexus rom though, sorry
thanks for the info.
so installing launcher2 enables the 3D app drawer from the nexus one?
just to clarify lol
Yep the home screen looks like the nexus one and you get the 3D drawer with fades. It looks pretty good! I just wish the widgets still worked then it would be perfect.
thanks again for your quick reply
so where do i download this launcher 2? from the android market when i get the phone?
sorry so many questions!
Not a problem,
Helix you can get from the market but launcher2 you will need to get from somewhere else but if you search these forums you will find one you can install no problem
awesome, thanks again.
one last request: which version did you use? i've searched here and elsewhere and each version is different and im not sure which to use
I'm not sure to be honest, if you know how to check then I can tell you?
Basically I'm looking for a bookmark widget for my Desire, I would use the HTC one but I'm running a base version of Froyo not one with Sense.
I thought I had found one but I've reset my phone and now I can't find it, any suggestions?
I was trying to find one too, but then I discovered "Launcer Pro Plus" for 3 usd or what ever it cost, and it was well worth it. Look it up, it's widgets is much better than HTC-Sence :-D
Perfect mate, thank-you!

I'm trying to find a way to acquire the stock evo RSS reader. I made the switch to CM7 but I haven't found a RSS reader I enjoy. I was happy enough with the stock app save for a few details. Anyone know where I can dl the apk to reinstall it?
The one for sense ? I'm pretty sure like any other sense app is not going to work on cm7

Have you tried Pulse? It's got a rather sleek UI and has decent feed management capabilities.
I'm not sure that its a sense app. It is a stock HTC app though so it's entirely possible that it has something to do with sense. Either way if it isn't part of the sense UI I want it back. I did try pulse a few months back and if I'm remembering it correctly, it has a windows phone theme to it. Either way I wasn't overly impressed.
Not sure if there are a lot of ex blackberry users here, but if anyone's used viigo on blackberry, that's more or less what I'm looking for. A good, simple, RSS reader. The preloaded app on the evo was close enough for me.
Here is a list of all the preloaded applications on the Stock EVO: http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/05/sprint-apps-and-other-software-preinstalled-on-the-htc-evo-4g.html
Do any of those apps ring a bell? If we can establish which app it is you're looking for it'll be easier to get an apk.
Edit: If it's the news app I'll search around and see if I can find it.
I tried a number, including Pulse and ended up settling on RSS Demon. I've liked it a lot so far.
SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.9 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
So far,, I need my news reader to have scrollable widget in adw/launcher pro. Scrollable widget and atom rss are alright but pulse news widget is the best, I had to pay 1.47 for it but it has allot of options.
There are 2 news apps preloaded, news/weather and news. I'm looking for "news" - the preloaded RSS reader.

Hey all,
I recently flashed the cyanogen 11 on my HOX. Just well it lacks a proper gallery (just like the sense one!) widget and a proper calendar widget.
So anyone have suggestions for good replacements?
I found several gallery widgets but they all seem to be badly written on the IO end. Or have some bad UI control which makes you want to throw it out the window so yeh.. ideally would be the HTC Sense one as it's perfect for my needs.
Calendar wise, again the HTC sense one is perfect.. so any that works exaclty like that would be awesome
Do note I also have my tablet flashed with CM11.. and kinda have the same issues.

This tread is more something for the Q&A forum, but never the less
what do you mean by gallery widget? like a photo frame?
for a "normal" gallery i use quickpic
as for the callender I use business callender. I found this by far the best cal so far! defenetly worth the money.
I do like cal also from the same defs as any.do
Yeh figured it should go to the Q&A forum right after I posted it... sorry.
Well quickpic has no widget.. I want what quickpic has as gallery in widget form
I'll check business calendar out thx
My first smartphone was an HTC Inspire (aka Desire). It has this great home screen flip clock widget I really miss. I want to put it on my Galaxy Note 10.
I know I can get flip clocks from the Play Store, but they are not as pleasing to look at and I don't want it enough to risk dealing with ads and phonehomeware. The old HTC widget is from HTC and is part of the manufacturer's native system app (no ads, YAY). I extracted the apk ok, but I'm reluctant to install it in my new phone because I almost bricked my Galaxy Note 4 trying to install downloaded Google phone apk. It locked up the phone and I had to do a system reset. It took me two days to get it all working like I want. I don't want to go through that again.
I believe the HTC Android version is 2.3 or 3.3. Is there a way to verify that this widget apk will work on the Note 10 besides installing it? Thanks in advance for any help.
I can not really help you, but, be advised of this: some really old apps cause troubles, as they were coded in a different way, some elements needed for their correct functioning might not even be present now, some older apps dont even install, or run,
Some other do install, and run, but eventually start doing odd things or freezing the device, this I have experimented with several good apps I liked from gingerbread and ice cream, even kitkat, so, better look for newer alternatives, imho

This has ads, but you can pay to get rid of them. There are others that have a similar flip-cloxk format.

I use the free version of this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ock&pcampaignid=APPU_1_zcc-X4KlMsP6sAWnvYTYBQ
Low power consumption, very custom configurable plus has quad touch switches that you can assign apps too.
Adjustable size, colors, fonts, transparency and more.
Runs well with no data usage (adware) after being configured. I'm running Pie.
You can't get the clock widget off the old Desire as it is part of the HTC Sense home screen. You can only find something similar on the app store...
Sorry...
However, I use Beautiful widgets (paid app) and you can get quite a few flip clocks that look and feel like the old HTC's...

My understanding is that the flip clock widget is part of the HTC Clock app. I extracted the apk for that. I've not yet transferred the apk to my Note 10. I'd like to know if there's some way other than just installing to verify that it will not damage my Note 10.
Thanks, I checked out Beautiful Widgets. Even the paid version has full internet access, bluetooth, and near field communications. Why a clock widget would need that is beyond me. I'm concerned about security and unnecessary internet access, which is one reason why I'd prefer the old HTC widget. It also has the most captivating rendering of a classic flip clock that I've seen.
If anyone has a spare and sacrificial phone they don't mind resetting to factory specs if necessary, I'm willing to share the apk I extracted if you want to see if it works.

Lol, wanted lab rats. If your OS load is over 6 months old a refresh isn't a bad idea especially if you had a lot apps you uninstalled.
Be ready to do a factory reset at any time even though it's rarely neeeded it can happen.
After being force to do 2 back to back on my Note it's getting to be 2nd nature. Best load ever now.
That said it probably won't crash the OS and the worst that will happen is you'll be forced to uninstall it.
That happen with one or two of my Kitkat era apks.
Sometimes they will run ok.
