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.
Hey guys...
I know I'm late in the game but I just got launcher pro now and while I see the potential I'm also seeing some negative aspects...
I relied heavily on my favorites and agenda widgets and now I can't use them (don't even show up under widgets with lp)...what gives? Are there alternatives to these two?
What about htc weather?
I guess my question is...what htc apps/widgets don't work under lp and are there good alternatives for them?
Thanks!

No HTC widgets will work on LP. Search the market for diff calendar widgets and such.

LauncherPro Plus comes with a few Sense like widgets- People, Calendar, Bookmarks, Messaging, Twitter, and Facebook. They are just as good as the Sense ones IMHO.
For the clock with weather download Beautiful Widgets or search xda for the .apk for Fancy Widget.
fancy widget looks exactly like the sense weather/clock widget if your looking for something like that

This has been answered to death all over these forums. The htc widgets will absolutely NOT work without Sense. Period.
As much as I would love to completely dump Sense I think htc really hit the mark on several of their widgets for which there is no equal in the market yet (Scrollable RSS, scrollable Exchange Mail).
However, if you are only looking for favorites and agenda I would recommend checking out LauncherPro Plus. It is a steal at $2.99 and the developer has been working diligently developing widgets with similar functionality to the HTC Sense widgets of which the Favorites, Bookmarks, Calendar, Facebook, Twitter, and Messaging are already done (Future updates are included in the $2.99 price).
I go back and forth between Fresh's ROM which has Sense and CyanogenMod which does not, however, without LauncherProPlus I would not even consider it.
I know there's a couple other posts out there mentioning this. None in the Desire section, so some devs may not have seen. Is anyone willing to get scrollable widgets working on HTC Sense? Best of both worlds would be great!
I read something about HTC disabling api apart from on their own widgets, therefore not allowing you to use your own scrollable widgets, sob's.
We need a widget like HTC flip clock weather widget. Or at least script change to remove accuweater as default weather provider. I just called HTC directly to see if they could update widget, they said DOUBT IT!! theres nothing wrong with it.
(Insert) BIG LOL! I've tried beautiful widgets and others just not the same. I.E. the animations, the flip clock, etc.
I remember playing around with the HTC one x at the aT&T store and dont remember if the weather widget had a roll-down animation where it showed additional weather information, such as weekly or hourly updates? i don't seem to be getting that sort of animation when I touch the widget. Can anyone confirm?
