Hi
I quite like the facebook and twitter widgets for launcher pro however go launcher seems more customisable but i dont want to lose those widgets so can anyone think of a good replacement for the widgets?

Colorize Widget is the closest one I have found.
Free too
You might want to try this. It's Kamma's Status Updater and should fit your needs perfectly.
Or if you don't fancy that then you could pick up Pure Messenger widget and configure it to just show your twitter and facebook updates (although personally I find it a little bit sluggish for scrolling).

Does anyone make one cuz i don't want to give up my sense widgets for it. Or I guess if there is a way to use sense widgets on launcher pro that would be even better
i dunno if i'm aloud to, but i want to bump this up since it is buried
i have never seen a way to do this in sense. I doubt it is possible.
As another option MOST widgets can be replaced with 3rd party widgets that are very close to sense.
ie
clock/weather/toggles - beautiful widgets (or clock and weather from fancy widgets)
Bookmarks - if you get launcherPro Plus (paid version) you get this
contact widget - see above or try mecontacts free
if you have a specific widget other then those you love in sense let me know i probably have a very similar replacement.
How do you get the htc clock widget and friendstream and stuff on launcherpro? or is it even possible?
Nope, those are Sense Widgets, so if you use LP you can't use those widgets. If you buy LP+ though i think they have similar widgets. You can take a look at them without buying just to check them out.
.. Replacements.
Sense Clock -> Fancy Widgets. Look it up on google.
Friend Stream -> Pure Messaging Widget does similar job.
Pro Version so far has
-Message
-Favorite
-Bookmark
-Calendar
Widgets I Believe. It's well worth it.
Take a look at Beautiful Widgets too.
i like cm6 the best but having barely any funtional widgets like a nice calendar widget or anything drives me nuts. Any widget packs or anything that have nice widgets. Currently i only have beautiful widgets but its only just a clock and some switches
Beautiful Widgets, Switcher Pro, CalWidget, Android Agenda Widget.
LauncherPro has a built in calendar app if you want to have a sense looking calendar.
You could run launcher pro plus, comes with sense like contacts and calendar widgets.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
Is there a widget out there that will display my facebook news, followed twitter feed, SMS and email all in one preferably in scrollable message boxes like the Samsung "Feeds and Updates"?
I've been looking for that too...
the closest to Feeds and Updates is LauncherPro Plus' Friends Widget, but I feel that it is too slow.. and same goes for the launcher, it freezes a lot of times.
I'm currently using Colorize widget + ADWLauncher Ex. so far it works well. It does not have a combined FB & Twitter feature, but it is smooth a bit customizable.
I am using Executive assistant (paid) which does do the job but purely in a text based way. The actual look is very plain and enterprise like but I would like something more pleasant to look at.
Pure Messenger widget can display all this

Does anyone know what widget is being used in the attached screenshot? I saw it one of the other threads and am not sure which app is that. I know for a fact that it's not the following:
Pure calendar
Agenda widget for android
Simple calendar widget?

Nope not that either
Seems like the LauncherPro Plus Calendar Widget
EDIT: Market Link here
You'll have to purchase the unlocker though to get the widgets. There's likely to be a transparent widget theme for the Calendar widget as well. There's still some issues with the Launcher though such as the Gmail widget not displaying the feed (not sure if it's fixed as of now), etc so beware.
Thanks for the info! I knew the widget seemed very familiar. I had launcher pro on my droidx for a short period of time.
APW is a better option for all the Launcher Pro widgets. They have much more customization and are updated. LP seems like it's a dead project, even though the dev claims he is still working on the rewrite. It's been way too long for an an update and I have moved on. APW works on any launcher as well.

You are right. Last update for LP came back in May. I'll check out APW. They seem to be very nice.
My only complaint with APW is the lack of themes. Lpp had some really nice ones even before the official theme system was implemented.

Yea this looks like APW widgets with full transparency on. APW is a good widget pack. One of the best if you ask me.
