Is it possible to change the fixed widgets on this phone (Menu - Phone - Settings) and their icons, WITHOUT having to change your launcher - I seem to like the basic launcher (having tried about 3 or 4 now) and they all allow you to customise the fixed widgets but is this possible in the standard non customised model and if so how..?
OR is there a Launcher that will allow you to access ALL of the basic HTC widget as I quite like some of them like the expanded message and agenda page.. cheers..
Is this on a Sense ROM?
This is on the standard (as it comes) ROM. I have changed nothing and telephone was purchased new approx 2 weeks ago so its on release 2.2.1
Thanks..
You mean the dock buttons, and no theres no way change them (although if you download skins on htc hub you can get a skin that has the dock with another color and the blackboard skin makes the dock squared)
Other choice that you have is getting the full version of launcher pro, and get the fancy widget from the market
The full version of launcher pro has a "friends" widget that kinda looks like the friend stream widget, also it has a contacts widget that looks like the people widget, the dont look as good as the htc original ones but it can be an alternative
And the fancy widget app is the weather clock widget from htc alternative except it doesnt have the weather animation

Hi
Dunno if it is possible, but i really like the LauncherPro and app drawer, and 3d app drawer when moving smootly, but I also like the effects from Sense UI, when it rains and the wiper "cleans" the screen for example.
Is it possible to get both at the same time?
Fancy widget only enables the Sense clock widget, but gets no effects

beautiful widgets have sence style clock and animated weather
Beautiful Widgets has this effects, too.
But i want this ^^ 3D App Drawer and the rest of the look of the original Froyo_Launcher (LauncherPRO is not simmilar and its Sense Widgets not, too)
Can not someone make a SensePRO ? Or only edit the interface?

Year, but beautiful widgets doesn't "make it rain" on the screen
only when you enter the widget... ¨¨
Like when its cloudy, clouds fade in over the screen when you unlock it with Sense
It's all in the foreground
It does now with the 3.x versions if you enable it in the options.

Actually the newest patch I'm using does exactly what sense does. When you unlock it does the funky weather effect across the screen

Currently, I use LauncherPro for 3 reasons:
1) Swapping among the screens is MUCH more faster/smoother than Sense, and I really have no idea why!
2) 3D drawer
3) It looks very nice
However, I really miss a lot the HTC widgets, like Footprints, Mail widget (it would be nice to get one like this for K-9 Mail), pictures widget...and so on.
It would be perfect to gather Launcher's smoothness (for the screens) / 3D drawer with Sense widgets..but I know it's not possible.
I'll check latest beautiful widgets to see what it offers..
Nice. Haven't checked the latest version, but I'm definitely going to. Thanks for heads up. Btw is it the paid version?

Does anyone know where i can find a htc sense clock and weather (or near enough) for free? Please help :-{
Just search for a Fancy Widget with Google and you'll find it.
I shared a black version of it here. Or you can find the original white one here. But numbers dont flip like in the new sense interface, Fancy Widget is based on old sense clock.
Thank you very much :-D
Fancy Widgets has just released a new version.

anybody tried and compare this with beautiful widget? They look awfully the same, so I'm not sure why they would want to develop something similiar unless there's some flip animation or similiar sort.
at least with beautiful widgets there are skinning and pop up weather animation. with fancy widget it looks just plain ..
Any cool widgets i can get for my galaxy s? And ideas? Any input welcome

What is required to make them flip? That's kind of the whole point of having a flip clock, to enjoy the animation when the numbers change over. I downloaded the sense clock and was immediately disappointed.
I am looking for some decent widgets for example the clock/weather widget that is on the evo. Same with a message widget similar to the one on the evo. Any ideas would be very helpfull. And if anyone has any snapshots of their screens to get some ideas of how to lay them out. Please list what widgets are being used with each screen shot as well. Thanks in advance.
Beautiful widgets it what u want for clock/weather which is a payed app. Only thing I know that has sense like messaging is launcher pro which is free for the basic version. Launcher pro plus is wa worth the money tho.

Can you post some of your screens?
Has anyone ever had any issues with Beautifyl widgets and the animations? I keep getting beautiful widgets needs to connect to the internet and download 1020kb for the forecast animations then it goes to download and doesn't download anything. Any clues anyone?
Sorry don't have access to a computer at the moment. But as far as your question I have not had that problem.

Here is my homescreen using nebula rom 1.0.6 twin jet, themed with the gingerbread theme, icons I found somewhere on here and tweaked a bit, launcher pro dock and, of course, beautiful widgets.
My BW widget skins are myriad-clean for the clock (this will change to either 42blue or blueglownaked when theimpaler releases his new theme) and Bullet_droid for the weather.
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.
I like the default HTC Sense clock/weather but it is so large it takes up a lot of real estate on the home screen. Is there a smaller replacement that still maintains the same look and all the functionality? I found a "Sense Analog Small Clock 4x1" in the market and its fine, but the weather has to be a zipcode entry. It wont just use your "current location" like the native HTC sense widget does. This would be a nice function but it seems to be absent in 3rd party clock & weather apps.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Beautiful Widget allows for resizing and has multiple skins.

Checked them in the market. Their clock/weather widget does support geolocation apparently. So I guess it would autoupdate to wherever you were at like HTC's native sense widget. It looks fairly large though, at least 4x2. What I really need is 4x1 like the small sense app.
Update: I just saw some 1x4 shots in the android market site so it looked like it has this size. The only other problem is its not free but I can deal with that.
Beautiful widgets is exactly what your looking for. I run it often in 4x1 and it looks great. Plus there are over 100 different clock and weather skins. Really nice app and well worth it.
