I have been running my TMO HTC One on stock 4.3 for the past few months. I grew accustomed to the live wallpaper option known as "Slideshow" in the "Personalize" settings. I just went back to ARHD 62.0 and was surprised that I could find no option for this app. It's not in Live Wallpaper, Wallpaper or Personalize options. I don't know what the APK is called, but my girlfriend still has the option on her Verizon HTC One. She has the option in her settings, but I can't identify the app, in app manager. I can't seem to find a separate app for it on her phone.
Can someone tell me what the apk is called and/or provide the apk, so I can reinstall it and have the option on my phone again? I figure it should be Slideshow Live wallpaper, or Photos wallpaper, or something like that branded with HTC.
Bump
I upgraded to the new sense 6 today and found that this feature is now gone. Would really to have it back.

Bit of a strange one, Friend Stream app is still on my phone but there is no option to add the widget. Only mod I have done is the Modaco Root, not a custom ROM or anything.
Any ideas?
Actually, on closer inspection all HTC widgets have disappeared leaving just the Android widgets. Any ideas what could have happened?
Did you use any 3rd part launcher app? ( HelixLauncher, launcher pro , etc. )
If you use those instead of the default HTC Sense, you can't add HTC widget to the homescreens.
No I don't use any 3rd party launchers but I've worked it out now. I just had to clear the HTC Sense application data, which annoyingly reset all of my home screens back to factory but restored the widgets too.
thanks for finding that out. just had it happen to me..
I tried out CM6 today, and there are some things I absolutely LOVE about it. It's VERY responsive, more so than any other ROM I've tried. I love the launcher and the transparency to the wallpaper when you're scrolling though your apps. And I love the 3d gallery.
There are some dealbreakers for me though.... I don't like:
1- The camera app, I much prefer the HTC once.
2- The contacts list, I loved he way the stock one synced w/facebook updates and user pictures.
3- The calendar, which again synced with dates from facebook (birthdays, events, etc).
Are there apks that I can download to replace the ones in cm6 with? Or will I have to use a Sense ROM to get those?
No. It won't happen. If you want Sense, go to Sense. Otherwise, just look for alternative apps on the Market.
short answer, no
long answer;
sense widgets only work with the sense launcher. download official facebook app to sync with cyanogenmod or syncmypix. for the calendar, use ebobirthday to grab facebook birth days then sync to gmail and in gmail under calendar on the left at the bottom click "other calendars" then add "browse interesting calendars", then more tab, then subscribe to "Contacts' birthdays and events" as for the camera, someone made progress getting it working on the n1 but have not seen anyone trying to get it working on evo. right now, it is still a bit ugly and some things do not work, but they will soon enough. when cyanogen and the rest of the team are done, you will be able to do way more with their camera than you every could with the stock on. infact you already can with a large assortment of codecs and fine tuning options. hope this helped
You could try LauncherPro Plus. It won't give you a camera app, but it has an ever-increasing assortment of Sense-like widgets.
@DomSim: Thanks for the long answer =] I though from reading another thread that CM6 didn't link the contacts w/facebook, but you're telling me otherwise, so I will give that a try (I'm flashing CM6 again as I post). Honestly, the larger font on the contact list still bothers me, I wish it were smaller =[ And thanks for the info on getting the calendar sync, I don't think I EVER would have figured that out, hahaha!
@Noxious Ninja: Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a whirl once I'm flashed back on CM6. =]
One more thing I missed: The stock Sense clock/w weather! I love that clock =[ But I actually like the clock from CM6's lock screen better. Is there a widget for that?
Beautiful Widgets

I've been trying to replace the Gallery app with Just Pictures.
However I use LauncherPro and when using it to change the default icons in the dock, LauncherPro defaults to the Gallery app.
When the Gallery app is not installed, it claims there are no pictures on the phone at all.
Anyone know a solution?
I was wondering about this also... but about Picture Folder, so I've contacted the developer if he could somehow add an option to set default wallpaper or that is shown in this menu, but didn't get an answer.
It's related to the framework of SGS i guess, but i'm pretty sure someone knows something about this and i've already used the search button and couldn't get an answer.
So if maybe somebody knows anything about this, could you please share the info, or at least point us to the right direction
EDIT:
Picture Folder has been updated and is now called QuickPic and it has an option to set wallpaper, but it's still not shown in LP for icon selection...
As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.
I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.
The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.
Any recommendations?
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.

Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.
I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.
Hi all,
I'm using HTC Desire Z. Android version is 2.2.1 and also using stock rom.
I have two issues.
First one is about facebook for htc. When I open a photo which is uploaded by my friend to Facebook from my gallery (from Facebook tab) I can write comments to that photo and also I can see tags, other comments etc. these features are good but I can't see (or let's say, I couldn't find) who likes this photo and any like button. Is there a way to do that? I don't know if next update (2.3.3 update) will fix that. For now, there is no update for my country. (Turkey)
Another one is about Calendar widget (HTC one). It shows events very well but when I selected an event (f.e. it is X's Birthday) is there a shortcut to go X's Contact Card or something like that? The widget also shows that where did it get this information. f.e. if it is Facebook then go to X's wall at Facebook. Is there a way to do that?
I saw Launcher Pro. Are its widgets do that? And I want to use HTC Sense's Home, so if I install Launcher Pro, can I only use its widgets? Or should I use whole application? (with Home Screen)
