[Q] HTC widgets on non-sense ROM? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Sense widgets in rom w/o Sense

Hi guys,
I'm considering getting one of your excellent modded ROMs. However, I hear a lot of good things about the Cyanogenmod, so I would really like to wait for that.
However: Is it possible to have the CM ROM with the Sense Friendstream, calender widget, mail widget and music widget?
Those really outbeat anything I have seen on the market - but apart from that I'd much rather just have a clean Helix launcher on 2.1.
Is it possible you think?
iirc they don't work outside sense-ui, htc widgets have depencies on sense-ui so is necessary.

Is there anything like the SENSE newsreader widget in the market?

I love that thing. It has all the news you want from your sources displayed and scrollable. You don't need to click into anything like all the other widgets or apps. I can't seem to find anything exactly like it.
Curious if you ever found a solution. I'd love to dump Sense for Cyanogen but some of the HTC widgets have no equal in the Marketplace; the newsreader widget being one of them.

Question about nonSense ROMS

Quick question: Is there ANY possible way to get Sense widgets on non-Sense ROMS for the evo. For example the flip clock or the nice weather widgets? I already know the beautiful widgets and fancy widgets, but I want to know if there is a way to use the HTC EVO to get those widgets on my EVO running CM7.
No. The widgets are dependent on Sense (more specifically, the Sense launcher).

Switching Launchers

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.

get sense 3.0 widgets on CM7?

Is it possible to get sense 3.0 widgets for cm7?
No, the frameworks don't match.
I am saddened. Deeply Saddened. The HTC weather widget is so sick, but I am tired of my Sense 3.0 ROM lagging like crap and having random force closes.
Is there anything that resembles the HTC weather app?
id be suprised if you cant download it straight from the market to be honest. you can get every other sense widget or copy of sense widget from the market im sure you can get this one.

If you just want the clock widget, there are lots of 'copy-cat' Sense widgets in the market.
delete Ignore
I'm actually just looking for the weather app. The sense 3.0 weather app is just frigging spectacularly mind blowing.
All other widgets are okay...
I tried the GO Weather but it's not the same...
EDIT: I tried searching on google, XDA, and the market, to no avail.
My search strings were
htc sense widgets
sense weather widget
sense weather
etc
etc
help?
What Sense 3 ROM are you running ? I wouldn't say that Unity was too laggy with overclocking,must admit the widgets are part of the reason that I sticking with sense,Ive yet to see an alternative to sense contacts.
Launcher Pro(Paid version) has a clock/weather widget that is similar or fancy widgets could be an option ?
I tried it, didn't like it.
I tried LPP plus, adw ex, zeam, remus, SPB 3D, MXHOME, honeycomb launcher, launcher 7, nothing works.
Currently using GO EX launcher.
I also spent a ton of time searching for the exact same thing... hoping I could get the Sense clock/weather widget on CM7. The closest thing I've been able to find is, as bombadier suggested, Fancy Widgets. It's not exactly the same, but it is pretty close, and has different skins you can use and easily switch back and forth.
