A little launcher help on CM7 RC2......

I just got on the CM7 RC2 and downloaded a app to have the senses flip clock and weather. At the help website for the widget it says that if your not on the stock htc launcher the clock wil not show animation (no flip clock). My question is, since I'm on CM7 RC2 and it comes pre-loaded with AWD launcher, how do I get back to the stock launcher? Or is there another launcher I can use to get the flip clock?

Sounds like tha app requires HTC Sense, which CM7 doesn't have. There are a few Sense based ROMs available however, check the sticky for a list of ROMs.

Yep I think you're right. The flip clocks are usually extracted or based on Sense ROMs, and won't have animations on AOSP ROMs.
The clocks still work though, why is the animation that big of a deal? Check out Fancy Widget and Beautiful Widgets in the market. They have a lot of similar clocks etc.

Its not a big deal. I don't use AWD for anything but the battery%. I thought it would be just an easy fix. I'm useing fancy widgets pro and have the H7C clock and weather skin.

The thing is, its not that you're using ADW, its that you're using an AOSP ROM, not a Sense ROM.

No, it's not really possible. The only way it would work is if someone completely ported over an HTC ROM which would be extremely hard on a Samsung phone.

Thanks for the info. But what makes it so complicated? Are the animations do-able?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Not sure about the trans animations. Qazimia512 has a nice transition animation in his ics theme though. Also if you like the Widgets there a several onvthe market that mimic them. Like android pro Widgets for the scrollable Facebook and twitter Widgets.

HTC sense is closed source. The animations are possible though. I'm guessing you want the carousel effect?

Like said above, they don't have their source open for us to builds from. Plus, the libs are a lot different. When you ask about the animations, are you talking the transition animations or the carousel animations from the launcher? Either way, you can get close to them with various apps on the market. Some launchers have the carousel effect and for the transition animations you can get 'Anim Mod' from the market and use the blur animations. I'm pretty sure its close to the same. I hope this helped with your question, let me know if I'm way off lol.

That helped a lot but carousel effect is there anyway to get it with the stock launcher because other launcher doesn't the stock calender widget .and that one is really useful to me. I would also like the 3d box animation from the moto blur.

Not able to set People/Message Widgets...
Nice work !!!
But this is a free version of Launcher Pro that you 've modded & hence I can't set the Widgets (Message/People Widgets), as it's asking for the unlock code ...
Also, where to get the Dock Icons ?
INSTEAD; Can you provide the Wallpaper, Dock Background & Dock Icons separately so that we can set it manually on an Un-modded/Regular Launcher Pro (Like the one I am using ...)
The modded Agile Lock & Beautiful Widgets looks stunning though ...

nope except that you can replace the app drawer in sense using an app...

...
Thanks for quick answer but I dont need to change app drawer Need something for homescreen

Not sure but if you could figure out what the intent is to call rosie (sense app drawer) then you could possibly create a LauncherPro shortcut to open it? Any smali gods out there know if this would be possible?

That's pretty much exactly what I am doing. I use Apex Launcher as my launcher, but I have a shortcut created by xShortcuts that launches Rosie for the photo widget. Unfortunately, I don't think you can call a specific screen - you can only call the launcher itself.

Yup that's the way it is possible but man that's pretty much time you loose by opening sense just for having these sense widgets.
And you have 2 launchers running then since sense will be only killed when you reboot again.
Dunno for what you want that sense widgets but I would look at play store and see if there is a alternative widget which maybe has even a themeable skin?!

Well my last tip for you is launcher pro.
There has been a launcher pro which was skinned like sense. But dunno if it had that widget...
There was a Rom for the hd2 that's why I know that one.

Favorite Launchers...

Title says it all. I'm running the latest cm10 with the trebuchet stock launcher. Wanting a launcher that supports scrollable widgets while also having the persistent Google search bar ... any ideas which one will do this? Any free? Or will I have to buy my first app?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I use Nova. It has what you're looking for and its free unless you want the pro features, I also used apex for a long time, they are both really good. I feel nova is a little smoother

Thanks! Last question on this... Can launchers kill battery faster than stock launchers?

Oh boy. Tried nova. Didn't work for a scrollable widget I have. Holo did. But no persistent search. Holo HD had the search but no option to enable scrolling widgets. :banghead:

My apologies I've never used scrolling widgets so I didn't know it did not work. As far as battery I have never noticed any extra drain by using different launchers.

Until UKB and Viper I was using CM10 and Apex Launcher was my go-to. It's got the persistent search bar as an option and also used my scrollable calendar widget with it.
EDIT: It's also free with the option to buy, which gives you more customization.

+1 on apex. I have a calendar widget that scrolls and it offers the persistent search.

I'm using the photo contacts widget and it won't work w apex. If you look on the market it says adw, go, etc ... any launcher that supports scrollable widgets. So should I assume the widget is at fault? Is there an option to enable it in apex that I'm missing?
Any of you guys have suggestions on a good contacts widget? I like the photo contacts one and have used it since day 1 but maybe its time to move on....

I haven't used it, so it's hard to say, but they don't specifically mention nova or apex. Wish I could be more helpful.

I've used nova, apex, and go, and I always seem to go back to trebuchet, I hardly ever use Widgets so its the cleanest launcher for me

The new ADW launcher is awesome. Just got updated.

Sure.
Not a big fan of the pop up menu in the new ADW. Would like to see it as optional. Also the transitions are a bit choppy even with some speed tweaks. Those were the only things I have noticed off the bat. I plan on playing with it more but will probably revert to Nova pending future ADW EX updates.

I'm using scrollable widgets on nova.
I'm confused as why you guys cannot maybe because I am prime?
