I would like to get the HTC sense clock with stopwatch/timer and so on to work with MIUI. From what I've read other places this is probably the WorldClock.apk from the sense rom's. Is there any way to install this?
If you want the HTC Sense like clock you would probally want to download "Fancy Widget" and download the theme for it named "H7C Clock" I think. Though it doesnt have the same shortcuts, you can edit the setting to make the clock launch applications by touching a certain part if the clock. Hope i helped

on a sense rom like fresh how would one go about, through apk editing/hacking or otherwise, how would one go about making sense widgets appear in nonsense launchers. i was thinking that you could insert the necessary frameworks and whatnot into the clock widget apk and make it look for them inside the apk instead of the htc framework but i have no idea how you would do this or if it even would work
at least is there a way to copy the weather animations somehow?
edit- after some research apparently the stock android framework doest support animated widgets which is kinda sad.
Exactly...it wont work

yea sadly there is not much hope of getting the animated weather portion of the widget onto other launchers. you can find alternatives to the clock look however with out the weather animations.

Beautiful Widgets, Weather and Toggle Widget, and a few others are your only options. Beautiful Widgets is pretty cool. It's got a 4x1 version that basically has the same info -- I'd probably use it even if I did go back to the Sense launcher for some reason.
ya i use beautifulwidgets and i love the customizability but nothing beats those clouds and sunrays flashing of your home screen
too bad someone couldnt figure out how sense does animated widgets and make an openDorothy framework or something that other launchers could piggyback off of to support animated widgets
to those who dont get openDorothy: htc codenamed sense rosie, most noticeable in the actual apk which is called simply rosie.apk.
in the jetsons the maid was named rosie (pic) and was a robot.
in the old anime from the late '99/early '00 the big o there is an android named R. Dorothy Wayneright (pic) who is the main characters assistant. while not technically a maid, its close enough.
so to sum it up, htc sense is codenamed rosie which reminds me of rosie the robot who was a robotic maid which also made me think of r. dorothy who is sort of like a maid and is more advanced than rosie the robot, implying that if someone were able to make the piggyback framework it would be superior to htc sense. also "open"dorothy because it would be better off as opensource. simple right? lol
whats up ppl i was just wondering if is it possible to have a AOSP rom wit the sense widgets (flip clock, sync all, settings, etc) cuz lets be real the AOSP widgets are wake and if it is can u tell me how to cuz im a new in this and thnx in adv.
have a wonderful day
Please use the search...
Pay version of launcher pro has widgets similar to sense with the exception of the clock.
For the clock, you need the pay versions of either Beautiful Widgets of Fancy Widgets. I know for sure Fancy Widgets has skins to make the clock look identical to the sense clock. It also has screen on animations and weather animations when you open the weather.
A number of third party messenger and calendar apps also have their own widgets.

yea i was watching a video on youtube of fancy widgets but the animation when u unlock the phone does not work right and a another Q how do u put the signature (like the one u have after the line ) in here cuz i been looking around in my profile and i dont see any part for signature
Screen unlock animation worked fine for me. I think beautiful widgets has one too. Neither are as good as sense though. Worth the sacrifice for me though since I don't really like Sense.
Look under quick links at the top of the screen. One of them is edit sig.
Can the sense clock be put on MIUI for this phone or is it still not possible even on an HTC?
Sense clock won't work on an AOSP roms as they do not incorporate any manufacturer's skin's framework. Fancy widget and beautiful widgets both have HTC skins that look identical to the sense clock.
Hey guys
I was wondering if it was possible to have htc widgets on a rom which is not sense? I did look for an answer but couldnt find anything.
Thanks
Hey,
as far as I know this sadly isn't possible. The widgets will only work on a sense rom.
But you can have a look at the widgets and apps by the Go Dev team. For example there's a GoWeather widget, with different themes available so it can be made to look like the htc's clock and weather widget. It is a pretty acceptable substitute.
And try the pure calendar and pure grid calendar widgets too
There are apps in the market and in the apps forum that have similar look/feel to the HTC widgets, but you won't be able to simply copy an .apk of a HTC sense clock and just put it on a non-Sense phone unfortunately.
Is there a good homescreen clock that would match the locksreen one?
AOKP (and I think other roms as well) allows to use the lockscreen clock as a regular widget on your homescreen.
Other than that you could try Beautiful Widgets and find an ICS skin for the clock (there are plenty in their gallery).

or you could go with a free one

Only problem I had with that one is it doesn't size properly with Nova in 5x5. Good choice otherwise.
