Yup, this.
Spend $2 on BW and you'll never look back. All the eye candy, none of the lag.

First of all, has anyone tried Laucherpro Plus? It has a ton of widgets that are built specifically to be similar to the Sense widgets (e.g., message widgets, mail widgets, calendar widgets, etc.). It's $2.99, basically if you dl Launcherpro from the Market you can upgrade to it.

Secondly, there are many widgets out there that replicate the Sense widgets. Someone mentioned Beautiful Widgets, which serves the same purpose but doesn't look the same. Do some digging on the forums and you'll find Fancy Widget. It was taken off the Market by HTC because it looks exactly like the Clock/Weather Sense widget.

Thirdly, the launcher dock for Sense acts like the launcher dock for Sense. Sense is the Launcher setup, which includes specific widgets, the same way that Launcherpro has its own widgets. Think of the launcher as the controlling aspect of the operating system; it defines what you can and cannot use in terms of shortcuts, folders, and widgets. So in short, no ... but you certainly can make one look a whole lot like the other. It just takes some work.
And yes Fancy Widget looks exactly like the sense weather clock, and works great, I have been using it on the LP for a couple of months now and no issues, Google it you will find it still in a couple of forum and you can scan and download it. I would post it here but I believe it is against the forum rules, so if you don't find it PM me and I will get it to you

Hi all,
I'm interested in using Beautiful Widgets with any ROM in order to create a HTC-like sense in Launcher2. Only thing is, I can't find a ROM that supports it very well. Is anyone using a certain ROM with Beautiful Widgets successfully?
Thanks in advance!

Ok but that's not a "beautiful widget"....that's an HTC widget ....if I am thinking of the same one

No, its a beautiful widget. I know what you're talking about, its worked with every ROM i've used but I prefer the HTC widgets in all honesty. Why are you using BW anyway out of curiosity.
I want to simulate what HTC widgets might look like in Launcher2

The HTC-like widgets were removed sometime around version ~2.3-2.4 due to a cease and desist order from HTC.
Older versions will still have them.
ayone know where i can find a good Nexus One theme?
Haven't seen a theme change notification bar color yet.can mess with my mode themes to customize your own and download helix launcher from market to make it a little like nexus one,till we have root I doubt you'll see an exact replica of n1 on this phone.
Don't forget adw launcher. Real nice. Or wait till the froyo update

HELIX IS GREAT... AND RUNS FASTER (YOU CANT USE THE HTC SENSE WIDGET... BUT THEY SLOW THE PHONE DOWN ANYWAY)
ZEAM IS GOOD TOO
These and a couple of others are free in the market place, there is even a home switcher app to jump back and forth.
Enjoy!

Can you back this up? I have the HTC Mail, Calendar, Messages, Flip Clock, Twitter, Music, and News. Each one is a 4x4 on its own homescreen, and I'm using the 7 homescreens. On the one with the flip clock, I also have 8 shortcuts.
I have yet to see this slow down the phone in the slightest, so I'm not sure what you are referring to with the slowdown.
launcherpro is actually the fastest stock android launcher app.
And motorjonny is right, the HTC widgets WILL NOT work on any other home/launcher app. they only work with sense.
cant believe no ones said GDE with the nexus theme! gde costs from market, but nexus theme is free...

^^ I agree with them
Would anyone be able/willing to port these widgets over for our Eris'? They are amazing!

That looks like LauncherPro so you might not need any porting at all
should I be able to just push the Launcher Pro to my phone from his theme?

Well considering that the launcher pro Widgets are part of the paid for version ... it wouldn't be right to give them out...... so hopefully he is not

Hi. Is there an apk file for the HTC clock widget? I'm about to switch to the cm ROM and I want the HTC clock widget. I prefer the flip clock(doesn't flip on aria though) with the weather. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

I don't know about a "flipping" one but Factory Widgets makes one very similar to the HTC clock. If you search for it in the market using the maker it is impossible to miss.

Yes, you will have to load a 3rd party widget because the HTC clock widget is dependent upon HTC Sense which CM 6/7 does not support.
I think the factory widget designs, even those aped from HTC, look horrible. I personally recommend fancy widgets and to a much lesser extent beautiful Widgets if you're looking for well made clock weather widgets.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Fancy widget definitely. I have an older version and its identical to the sense clock.

Fancy widget is one of the few apps I actually paid for. +1 for Fancy widget.
Fancy Widgets is great but I like the beautiful Widgets because you can choose many styles of the HTC clock to change it up a bit and rock your style.

Hi, everyone. I'm just trying to find out what minimal launcher there is out there. So far, the best example of this is probably slide screen but I would like even more minimal. I'm just wondering if anybody here knows of a very simple one page launcher with no dock or widget support but does have an organizable drawer?
Thanks.

I would suggest zeam launcher to you. Fast (well so far I've found it to be faster than launcher pro), minimal, and functional.

Or u can try launcher 7. It replicates windows mobile 7 interface

What launchers have you already tried?
EDIT: It looks like Dxtop might suit your needs. If not you could try using a launcher you like in combination with apps organizer to organize your apps.
I was going to post links but it looks like a need 8 posts to do that.
---
You could give the MIUI rom a shot if you can't find a launcher you like.
P.S. Did you see the edit in my last post?
---
Not being able to flash a new rom is a somewhat sad situation.
You could try using desktop visualizer to do some tweaking to your homescreen.
---
Yeah, that's what it is. If you find a launcher you like you could maybe use desktop visualizer and apps organizer to customize your screens to something you find sufficiently minimal... Just a thought.
Sweeter Home?
Still in beta and if I'm honest can be annoying to change to but you can have as much or as little as you like?

Try MyLauncer.
It's in the market.
I've seen V Launcher on the market. No widgets, just organize icons on your homescreen, kind of like iOs, I guess. I've never tried it since I love widgets & customization, but it looks like what you're looking for.
