HERO WiDGETS - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i haven't looked through here to see but i was just wondering has anyone found a way to just get the widgets from hero on another rom like jf or dude's if im late or someone knows how let me know! thanks

Make a long story short: No, widgets are dependent on HTC's Touchflo interface aka Sense aka Rosie. Since we can't port Rosie we can't port the widgets.

do you think it's something impossible or something that just hasn't been discovered or figured out yet?? (porting rosie to jf, cyanogen, etc)

HTC widgets

Do you think its possible to place the htc widgets on a cyanogen rom? I really love using the messaging widget from the hero rom but its too slow.
Thanks
some of the hero widgets can be ported. some cannot right now. chances are, if it hasnt been done yet (i.e. with the hero music player and clocks) you're going to be waiting a while.
Thanks guess I'll be waiting
Most widgets are dependent on the Rosie UI...

I thought it was the Hero framework they were dependent on?
I think it does have a lot to do with the Rosie/Touch Flo UI. That is a big reason why they take the HTC widgets out, but not the Google ones in the light versions.

Widgets are dependent on Rosie. They need Rosie to operate, which in turn requires the framework to operate.

rosie widgets that can work with all launchers/themes

is there any theme or launcher that lets you be able to use the rosie widgets without out using rosie. Rosie is beautiful and awesome but the lag on the g1 makes me want to kill myself and what really make me like rosie is those incredible htc widgets
get the source for rosie and it can most likely be made to happen, otherwise 99.9% no right now
i see...thanx

it is included in mcr2.9 as it is part of htc sense. probably won't work in other roms.
Oh, I thought, that is the Widget of the first HTC ROM with flipping times.
Sorry.
I still cant figure out how to get it to work on my phone.. I just said forget it

It won't work without Rosie installed (and running). It's an HTC widget, not a regular Android widget... it only hooks into SenseUI.
Also, if your question is why doesn't it actually flip, that's a limitation of the US version I know for sure... the animation was taken out by HTC because of the drain on system resources. The animation may or may not be functioning in the widget released in Europe.
I did pull this from the original rom so it should flip but when i posted it i thought id like to give it a try and i couldnt get it work either so I gues htc must have changed something else in the ROM that it relies on maybe... Im far from being an expert though so don't know if it should be able to work or not
Sorry
Not working on my Samsung Epic 4G. Is there a similar widget that works WITH the flip clock animation intact for non-HTC phones?

Lacks the animation, but it's the closest you will get. Remember that it's removed due to a C&D, so you can't get it or post it on xda.
I have my own black version of the HTC flipclock that i rebuilt/themed and the animation flips/works perfectly, i've uploaded it for you (install through recovery as update.zip and make sure it does not go on sdcard, has to be on phone storage)!
It would be great if a Dev could make this work with non-sense roms
Enjoy.
wont install on my optimus one

the thing is the flip clock needs the sense framework.....if you want something similar to it...download applanet and install fancy widgets pro and theme the home widget i paid for the app but if u need it for testing i suggest this. the clock its identical to the sense ui analog flip clock
i wanna a htc flip clock for cm7

HTC Widgets with Launcher2

So I tried to search for this problem and don't believe I could find anything. This is probably a simple question for someone so here it goes.
I recently installed the Launcher2 Patch from Jcase. It's fantastic but I would like to be able to use the HTC widgets that I could with the SenseUI. Is this possible or no?
If not is there anywhere I can get a comparable full screen Calendar for this?
Thanks in advance.
HTC widgets don't work without the SenseUI.
Aloysius 2.0 PORT V7 looks alot like Launcher2, it even has live wallpapers, and still has HTC widgets. It's a little snappier than L2, IMO.
I second that. Aloysius is my dream rom so far. Live wallpapers, nexus lock screen, and htc widgets.
Only thing I don't like about it is, seeing as it's a sprint rom, some verizon only apps don't work (only one I care about is skype though)

Due to several bugs Spencer actually pulled v7/8 and is currently getting the boot image sorted to square away some issues. Currently my daily rom.
Does Port 6 still support the HTC widgets over Launcher2? Please correct me if I'm stupid.
V9 is up now and pretty solid. It doesn't have LWP, though.
Just to be clear, it'n not running Launcher2, but he's modded the sense launcher to look like it. That way, you can still use HTC widgets.
There is a V9 with LWP now

well...I ran V9, 10 and now on 11...but I want that menu effect where the icons drop into the screen..instead of them sliding up.. thats why I love launcher 2....He does have Launcher 2 on 10..but you can't use HTC icons on there..
Exactly. Thanks for clarifying!

HTC Sense on any Android.

Hello guys!
You can try this mod on you Android.
The settings are is in Russian,so you can post here photo of settings,and i will translate their for you.
How to install:
If you have not installed the LP, or remove the settings before the installation: just install the application convenient for you.
If you already have an old version of the LP modes Sens, reinstall. I'm doing it this way: I write in ADB adb install-r <a link to an application>
EDITED BY MOD - WAREZ IN POST:

Hello!
You'r welcome!
Use adb command in a terminal on your computer.
I have looked through the APK provided by the OP, and ALL this is (and this should come as no surprise to anyone) is a repackaged LauncherPro APK with a Sense dock. I also assume that this runs on an outdated version of LauncherPro, given the filename (LauncherPro_SenseMod_0.8.0.apk) whereas LP is currently on version 0.8.2.
This seems completely superfluous and unnecessary, given that all of the changes this "mod" makes can be done without replacing LauncherPro, just by storing the proper images on your SDcard and using LP's built-in customization. The only changes in this mod that can't be done through LP's built-in customization are the trash can and home icons shown when deleting icons or when in the app drawer. If there are any other changes, I certainly can't see them.

Absolutely not. HTC Sense widgets require an HTC framework, and this "mod" does not provide anything of the sort. It also doesn't change the status bar to black, obviously, as that is something stored in the phone's framework. This is, again, just a repackaged LP.
I assume what the OP meant was that you can use the HTC Sense "lookalike" apps that have been on the market for ages. That is, Weather Widget & Toggles, Fancy Widget, or Beautiful Widgets. These apps have been out for a long time and do not require this "mod" in any way.

Where did you see that I talked about a real Sense, there are discussions of programs and widgets like Sense, carefully read the topic, and you'll understand what's being discussed.

Version of the mod and the LP version are two different things.
Well you told a member two comments up that he could use Sense widgets using your LPP mod.
So.. Yeah.
Since Sense widgets are dependent on Rosie to work they will never work with LPP
you can find a sense dock anywhere without installing this so called "mod". I can't believe you said to the guy he can use sense widgets on launcher pro when in your op, you are clearly not using sense widgets. You even put links to those that just imitate htc sense widgets.

Yes,this is imitate,please read the topic.
Nope he meant the sense widgets, you need to read properly. And its obvious that sense widgets won't work on lpp, so why tell him it does? Also your op says nothing about imitating sense widgets.
This is a pointless mod as everyone knows you can't use sense widgets on lpp. So why give links to apps we already know.

It's not my mod, I shared, who wants to download! And it's not just the dock!
It looks horrible. The ADW mod in this forum is MUCH better
The TITLE is "HTC Sense on any Android" and is VERY misleading. Not saying that the OP os purposely misleading but reading through his posts maybe some things are lost in translation...... I agree, this is "sense-less" mod/thread!

well after reading these comments, i guess this is not the way to go.
So what is the best way to go about getting the htc sense clock + weather on a non htc device?
those are the only two things I want.
