Android Widgets?

When I look at the HTC Aria, there are many more widgets listed under Android while the Captivate has a much shorter list. How do I add those widgets to the Captivate?

Anrdoid Market.
On a side note I really recommend Beautiful Widgets. It is worth the money and adds a very Sense UI like clock / widget fun.

Most of those are likely HTC widgets that only come with their devices.

Good point that is more than likely the case. For a sense ui like feel get LaucherPro (Its free) and Beautiful Widgets (Paid). Or if you like LauncherPro it has a paid version that adds a few extra widgets.

If your using LauncherPro or ADW-Launcher I HIGHLY recommend giving "Pure Messenger Widget" a try. It's by FAR the best social network widget out there. And if your using one of those two launchers I just mentioned its scrollable! You can customize it to make it just like HTC's FriendStream or Twitter widget.

What about things like the stock news and weather widget? I didn't find that in the market and now since replacing touchwiz with launcher pro I don't have access to the daily briefing widget anymore.

Comparable Widgets?

Now that most of us are using 2.2 with no sense, I was wondering if any fellow forumers had any alternative widgets, available through the market, that helps ease the pain of using Sense for the moment?
At this point, Ive found Pure Grid Calendar Widget to be a great alternative for the Sense Calendar but Im still trying to find something to replace the "people" widget on sense, to fast dial your favorites in the same manner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This is why I am sticking with sense. The phone.apk is god-like, and I couldn't live without it.

I think launcher pro plus has Widgets similar to sense.

Launcher Pro Plus now has calander, people and bookmarks widgets. There's beautiful widgets for flip clock/weather...I really like Dialer One for the phone, better than the sense one IMO. That about covers it I think...

Actually, Launcher Pro Plus now has a messaging widget as well.
I like Fancy Widget for the flip-clock/weather, but not quite as much as I liked the Sense clock/weather widget. I'd really like something that could show multiple cities of my choosing, in addition to current location, which Sense provided.

AFAIK, Fancy Widget is off the market due to some HTC pressure. =(

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.

[REQ] Samsung Galaxy S2 weather/clock widget

I don't know if anyone has noticed the weather widget on the new Galaxy S2 but I think it's very clean looking. I'm wondering if there is anything in the market yet that has that design with a clock as well. Yeah I know there are a **** load of clock and weather widgets out there but I wanted to see if anyone has one that's similar or if someone out there could develop one for all of us. I'll attach a picture of it for everyone. Thanks for the help!
http://thenewadmin.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/55033_samsung_galaxy_s_2_leak-441x500.jpg

not possible unless somebody makes a mimic of it.
its like saying i want the HTC Sense Clock Widget, you can't pull it out of there because it requires the HTC Sense framework. Only way is to create a mimic of it (Fancy Widget's H7C)
Also there is no dump of Android 2.3.X TouchWiz. Best bet would be to create a skin with that idea in mind for Beautiful Widgets/Fancy Widgets

^ unfortunately that's the truth. Other solution is miui released their weather widget. Its available in this themes and apps section for the nexus s. Download the cwm.zip and flash through clockwork. It has two Widgets one that resembles sense and the other resembles somewhat the one you posted. Hope this helps.

I know it's tied to three launcher framework so I believe the only option would be to create a theme. Anyone up for it LOL?

I believe the only option is to port Touchwiz over. Similar to the HTC Sense clock, you need the whole rosie framework to get it to work.

Yeah I'm just settling for a theme for Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget. Thing I hate about Fancy Widget is the battery drain when I use it.

Well battery drain might be a slight exaggeration, but I did notice slightly less battery life when using fancy widget. I use Beautiful Widgets full time and noticed battery life is better.

guys any1 with Samsung Galaxy S2 weather widget ???

Any news about this?

I want this weather widget for use in defy

Did anyone ever find a S2 widget for our Captivates?

here you go
http://www.accuweather.com/downloads.asp

I hope it (S2 weather widget) could be tweaked to work on other frameworks/phones too?
Because some stuff from my Xperia Arc was already made possible for other phones Eg. Sony Panorma camera, Arc Launcher etc.

I can only use it with TW 4...

The best widget of GS2 is the touchwiz calendar....

The weather widget you can download at Accuweather. The clock widget is attached.

Does this require flashing? Root access to use?

[REQ] Older Sense Weather Animations, More Panels, Transparent Stuff

I know it was kind of a gimmick but 1 thing I miss about my old EVO is the weather animations that were on your screen after unlocking the phone. Not the weather wallpaper like they use now but the 1 that did it on top of whatever wallpaper you used. Is it possible to implement this on one of the 4.3 Sense roms? I would love to see it back.
Also, adding full transparency to the dock and weather clock widgets would be quite lovely.
And lastly, can more panels be added? I like to use widgets for everything so maybe making it possible to use up to 7 would be cool.
Please let me know what you think and if anyone would be willing.
All you Devs kick ass and I'm grateful for your work! Keep it up! I'll donate when I can!

It may not be exactly what you're looking for but...
For the Weather Animations and Transparency for clock widget: Beautiful Widgets + animation add-on
Transparent dock and adding more panels can be done with pretty much any 3rd party launcher (Nova, Apex, ADW, etc)

there are animations on the lockscreen (not very exciting but there) and as for trans dock what rom? and for trans weather widget how much trans(flips and panel ?)

I've been looking at the aftermath and badboy roms. The weather clock widget I'd like to see pretty much everything transparent except the weather icon.
alxrock I downloaded beautiful widgets and that actually works good! Thanks!

Glad to hear it worked good for you.
For the weather clock widget, are you looking for the 4x1 or 4x2 flip clock style?
I used HD Widgets for the 4x2 flip clock when I had my GNex and it has a bunch of customization options. (No flip animation though.
I attached a couple of examples of the more transparent options HD widgets has to offer.

Prism.apk from your rom. If you open your rom zip file look in system/app folder.

You can use 420s Aftermath 2.2 if you want more screens(up to 7) their app drawer and drop down are semi trans.
Xposed installer and Sense 5 toolbox will give you more transparency options if you want.
As far as trans widgets, someone may make one for you if yiu ask the right person. dased offerd, and he is a master of that sort of thing. I too miss a few things, mine is the 4x2 weather widget. Guess theres some things we just learn to live without.

Get Beautiful Widgets Pro. It has TONS of different weather/clock widgets and it has the full screen weather animation. It's pretty close to the old Sense stuff.
