Where are these Sense widgets ? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get these widgets ? I saw these cool looking black widgets from a review screen shot. I could only find the "Hot Spot" widget in my settings, no others though.

Press longer homescreen where you want to put the widget, choose "widgets", scroll down until you find your widget of choice, for example the bluetooth-widget and tap it, that is all

They are stock HTC widgets, if you don't have them, you might have removed them (if you're rooted) or they just were not included in the ATT model.

You won't see them if you are using a 3rd party launcher.

I am running InsertCoin ROM, and no custom launcher, and still not seeing these options for these widgets, except just the HotSpot 1 x 1 Widget, no others though

Then you removed then during install as the majority are checked to be removed by default, you must reflash Rom, and uncheck the ones you want to keep,no need to wipe.

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 requires the sense framework. However i know of a sense 4 clock that looks very similar that does work. Its an apk someone has built but its very realistic looking. Sense 4 Clock Widget
Dude, the clock app not the weather widget.

I didn't link you the weather widget idiot. That's the sense clock widget. The one you extracted no its not going to work. What did you expect?
You took it from another phone not just another touchwiz phone a whole different proprietary overlay. Which requires its resources to run.

Ok. Let me go this way. When u open the app drawer on a HTC phone there's an app called Clock, that has the pic of a watch. This is almost like a nightstand clock. It also has other things. It's not a widget. That's what Im looking for. Have u come accross it?

The clock app in HTC sense is called clockwidget.apk....Most apps are VERY hard to port because HTC has a file system where most of the apps are dependent on HTC framework. That would mean you would have to reverse develop the sense rom which has had little luck so far..
why you see just the widget and not the clock in the app drawer is because the clockwidget.apk tells the HTC system framework for it to be there. But it will not show because fw is MIA.

Weather in lock screen

Hey, I was wondering - is there any way to keep the weather widget in the lock screen permanently?
I know it appears every morning and disappears after that to save RAM, but it would just be a little more handy that way..
Thanks in advance!

[REQUEST] Blinkfeed Widget

Hi I don't know if it was asked before but I would really like to see a Blinkfeed Widget. I used the "Blinkfeed App" Mod a bit and thought it would be great if I could put Blinkfeed at a Page and look it up from there. I don't know how possible this is so please don't hate me... I'm no developer. It's just an idea I thought may be good

Hate to stomp on your idea but it's not gonna happen unless HTC makes it.
They haven't even figured out how to disable it, so making it a standalone widget would be much more difficult

With "they" he refers to the rom developers/chefs.
And indeed they Blinkfeed cannot be removed (YET)
Some devlopers are actually trying to remove it (I heard team venom had it partially removed)
Though none have been completely succesfull yet..
For now all we can do is wait.
There is however a way not to use the blinkfeed as your homescreen in every sense rom.. just pinch out and select any other screen you want as a homescreen, then pull it to the "" set as homescreen" text and release
This effectively makes the other scren your sense homescreen and makes your blinkfeed seem like a widget..
There is already a blinkfeed widget, it's stuck on the left page though.

Try Pulse it has a widget, closest you can get.

Old sense widgets

Older versions of sense that I had on my past handsets had a couple of great widgets that are missing now. Namely the notes and galley widgets. Is it possible to get them from older roms and install now?

Its working

I missed the photo frame widget and found this one on the play store. It takes a few changes in settings, but you can set it as an individual photo widget which was what i was after.
