Hey XDA,
is there any custom launchers out there, which supports all the different HTC/Android built-in widgets? (ie. Friendstream, HTC Watch/Weather). I tried Go Launcher EX, but thats a no-go, and barely any widgets from downloaded apps. is on the widget-list either.
How can a widget not support a different home screen?
i'm second of this, i'm using aosp rom, and replace my homescreen with go launcher ex, but widget which support in sense, no works on go launcher, ex minimalistic text, etc.
how to make it works?
HTC Widgets only work with Sense, they are coded to only work with sense and are not available to custom launchers.

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.

I'm trying out a new launcher (ZEAM) and it looks like HTC Sense still stays open in the background.. how do I get rid of it completely? I don't want 2 launchers running..
Also - anyway to use the HTC Widgets on Zeam? I love the Calendar widget and the weather/clock one

Here is calkulins flashable zip that will completely remove HTC sense from your phone. This will also remove all sense widgets I believe. Also, I have never used Zeam launcher, but I would speculate that you can't use HTC sense widgets on it (at least you cant with launcher pro or adw launcher). They only work with sense. There are quite a few other widgets out there though that look very similar to HTC's widgets.

Also here is a link to calk's page that all sorts of mods/tweaks/goodies and such. Useful bookmark. They work on pretty much any sense rom.

Friends
i have rooted my phone to CM7
Now i can get the htc custom widgets like flipclock with weather at the bottom,
differenne tpes of clock etc.
Thanks for your reply.
I like the widget of the weather, so the most accurate widget is animated weather-widget and clock
No. HTC Widgets are not compatible with AOSP ROMs (Or even other Launchers except the Sense Launcher, for that matter). Your only option would be to use 3rd party apps like Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets (Which I personally use, and it has a skin which is exactly the HTC Clock)
This is really a Sense question, but since I'm using DHD I'll ask it here as it may be phone specific (no idea).
Basically can you override the Rosie launcher with something else? I just tried Cyanogenmod and I liked the bottom bit of the home page (with the phone button and apps list etc), thought it was way better than the Sense one. But I want to stick with Sense and customise that bit myself - is this possible?
Cheers.
You can install a 3rd party launcher (Go Launcher, LauncherPro, ADW, etc.) to replace the Rosie launcher. However you would also lose the ability to use Sense widgets.
All the rest of Sense would be there (Dialler, People app, Calendar, etc.) But if you particularly like any Sense widgets, you would need to find similar ones in the Market to replace them.
hi every one when i install nova launcher i loose my original sense widgets how can i get them back?
You can't get them with a 3rd party launcher.
If you want sense widgets... Use the sense rosie launcher.
As for some specific widgets like clocks... I believe there is a port for other launchers.
Generally, you'll have to use sense launcher to use sense widgets.

if you dont use sense launcher, you cant use the sense widgets... ive searched far and wide to make it happen but all you can do is find widgets that mimic sense widgets, like beautiful widgets hope i helped!
