Since HTC decided to remove mail and calendar widgets from Sense 5 I've been struggling to find widgets that can fit into the style of this phone.
Already tried several of them (including Pure Calendar and Pure Messenger) but thee look and functions are not so good.
For Calendar I am now using Android Pro Widgets which is very nice (please see attached file).
Could anyone suggest a few more widgets, especially for mail, that could fit into the design style of Sense?
Thank you
You can try these Sense 5 Widgets

Thanks

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.

Maybe u can try Pure Grid calendar, rather similar but paid app
For weather widgets, I was a huge fan of Fancy Widgets home weather widget. But just because GoSMS was included in Darky's ROM, I went with that team's GOWeather just out of interest. And I love it. Much simpler (without calendar and clock features), but the UI is fantastic, especially with the innovative forecast videos and slide up forecasts. And the homsecreen widget is different but cool. Give it a whirl
Hi there!
Do you guys know if it's possible to display more than one event on the default calendar widget? I have my university schedule saved on gcalendar, but the widget displays only one lesson!
Thanks for your time

Try Pure Calender Widget or Pure Grid Calender widget. I think that is what you want.
Or even Smooth Calendar Widget
Okay I'll give em and try. Thanks!

I am currently using Business Calendar Beta, and both the widgets and the calendar itself are quite powerful compared to the stock ones.

+1 for Smooth Calendar Widget
Displays 3 appointments and the widget is only 1x4.
Calwidget gets my vote, comes in various sizes and is very customisable

as far as I know, this uses the Google calendar. I am using "my calender" synchronized with my Outlook. Therefore this should not work. Am I wrong?
An old thread but an ongoing issue. :/
I really like the 'stand alone' calender which comes with most of the GB Roms which doesn't need a google or exchange account to work.
I have tried to import the calender and calender storage to later android versions in a number of ways but in all cases I get install failed. If I copy them to system and change the attributes, it still doewsn't work.
Is anyone aware of a calender widget that works in a similar way ie Stand alone on phone and with a resizable reminder panel ?
TY for any help
I loved the calendar widgets in Launcher Pro Plus as well as Go Launcher EX + Go Widget. In both cases I could have a full-page widget with a button that allowed me to switch between calendar and agenda view. However, I've recently switched to Apex Launcher from Go Launcher. This one issue (lack of desirable calendar widget) is making me consider going back to Go.
Anyone know of any similar calendar widgets that sync with Google calendar? I've tried Jorte but it came up way short.
Hi,
You can give a try to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core , it is the free version.
I'm really happy with Android Pro Widgets by DR. APPCHE. Skinnable, scrollable (on ICS).

I bought Pure Calendar and Business Calendar. I recomend Business, it is a little bit better.
Sometimes it appear with some huge discount.

Android Agenda Widget my go-to widget for years now, always getting better, tons of features and you can make it look almost any way you want.
As for facebook support... Never heard of any calendar that has that. And you would not want to "sync" with Google Calendar, just use the database. Anyway, if facebook is a requirement, don't think this one does it.
Pure Calendar is the best...

WOW! so I have got my New Nexus 7 32gb and it updated to 4.2.1 as soon as i powered it up and connected it to my wireless...
I am missing the calendar widget. the only calendar widget i have is for google calendar.
I really want the default calendar that shows me the whole month that i have on my phone, and from what i am reading it was originally part of the nexus 7, just wondering if it was removed or if for some reason i am missing something obvious and dont have it.
I could download any ordinary app from the store but why do that if i should have something already for free.

Google Calendar is basically just like the stock calendar.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/ Business Calendar Free is very good.
So good that I bought it.
On one side screen I set up a 5x5 Month Calendar widget (sized to cover whole window) and on the home screen I use another widget set as Agenda.
I really like that the widgets are re-sizable.
Many options.
Great app.:good:
so i went with android pro widgets for the full screen calendar and to get it synced with facebook i used UberSync which allows me to add facebook friends birthdays to the calendar. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
Three words: Executive Assistant Plus ^_^ Epically awesome! (Ok, so that's 5, but I was only counting before the happy face lol)
Pure calendar widget and apw (android pro widgets)
Pure is really nice and super configurable. Plenty of themes too.

heavyweight champ!
Wizz widget. Free and looking great, plus has other goodies, like RSS news, facebook, twitter etc. Free version has limited customization options but it is enough for me (set font/back color/transparency)

Thanks for the heads-up. This app is good enough to pull me from Google's own calendar.
There's a reason this app is rated so highly.
I also had to buy it.
Simple Calendar Widget is pretty customizable and minimalistic for those who like that sort of look.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=nav_result

My vote is for Jorte
Lots of widget sizes, fully customisable colours, can display your events etc. Use it on phone and tablet
Calengoo
It's a complete calendar app but the widgets are nicely done.
