HTC Widgets without Hero ROM

I've searched and searched and haven't come up with a definite answer.
Can the HTC Widgets be used on Cyanogen, or any non-Hero ROM?

No.
Definite enough?

No, short answer, the hero widgets were built for rosie/sense whatever you want to call it, basically it's another home replacement app. Widgets are not compatible with standard launcher.

Like above the answer is no. Although there are a few widgets on the market that look like the htc wigdets.
Beautiful Widgets-Digital Clock Widget
Contact Bar- People bar
Pure Grid Calender- Calender Widget
Pure Messenger Widget- Email/Message Widget

Damn, all I really wanted was the peep twitter widget, but I'll live I guess haha

Use Twidgit Lite!

I've always wondered since a Home Replacement is basically a stand alone app, and widgets on the standard sdk can't be animated like the hero's in most cases.
Couldn't we just make a HR that runs applications as widgets type of thing.
Like if anyones run a pulse rom and used taskiller you'll see it's cards widgets or whatever it's called running and working with sense UI styles.

I don't see why we can't just run touchflo on cyanogen... most Hero ROMs are based on 1.5 right now, so... hmmm

Thanks! Found it! However, with the limitations it imposes (not able to scroll and have more than 4 contacts) I think I will pass on this one, for now. Dev states they are working on a solution for that, once found, it would be worth the purchase for me.
I have purchased many apps, especially the Pure apps (Calendar widget, Grid calendar widget and Messenger widget) that help make the phone look/perform nicely.
Keep up the great work Dev's!

Also known as touchflo. Download a taskmanger and see what the process is called...

Photo Album & Bookmarks widgets?
Might there be alternatives to these HTC widgets that I'd be able to use on my 1.6 based g1?

Most Sense like weather/clock widget on STOCK?

Hey, I am on a stock N1, I am looking for a pretty identical widget for weather/clock, you know what you see on say, the Desire. What app and what skin can you recommend? I do not mind paying.

BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS

Fancy widget is also nice and it's free.

I've tried:
Beautiful Widgets
Weather Widget & Toggle
Fancy Widget
Top => Bottom = least realistic to most realistic.
However, top=>bottom = most features to least features.
Fancy Widget comes the closest. I somehow feel it's slightly slower than the other two though. Not sure.

using fancy widgets for a while now and i have 0 problems.
I like it the most cause i want just a clock + weather that looks exactly like the HTC one, and i do not want xxxx features that i don't use anyway.
just a clock + weather + you can choose what happens when you hit the clock. thats it.

Fancy Widget for the win!

Beautiful Widgets does that, along with opening the calendar when tapping the date and your weather app of choice when tapping the forecast. Also has an HTC skin thats pretty much spot-on, with dozens more to choose from. Same with Weather & Flip clock. I don't see fancy widget being available for long, HTC will shut them down for copying their look.

Is it just me or has fancy widgets disappeared from the market?

That's the result of a Cease & Desist request from good ole HTC. You won't see it in the Market anymore. They will continue on under a different name and style. Paul has the latest in his r20 build.

I have the final version of Fancy Widget, but not sure if it's okay to post. PM me if anyone wants it.

Simple clock widget?

I can't seem to find three default android clock widget and the market us flooded with crap. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Unfortunately Samsung didn't include any stock Android clock widgets. They did include the Nexus One live wallpaper though, so go figure. I recommend throwing down for Beautiful Widgets, it's like $1.90 and can do amazing things.

"Weather and toggle widget" $1.99.
I've always liked the "Sense" flip clock and this is satisfies my taste.

I use one that's just called Digital Clock Widget by Maize. Just a really simple digital time with the day under it. Can be a 1x2 or a 1x4 widget. Not TOO much customization, but it definitely does the job well.

What's wrong with the Samsung Clock Widget that comes with the phone?

I am using Retro Clock.

I really like this app too, plus it has many downloadable skins you can get for the clock and weather.

Fancy Widget is nice and free (but i can't post a link since i'm a newbie)

lol, no one knows how to get the default clock widget. I'm surprised. To me that was one of the trademarks of android. That big clock widget on the G1

And has anyone figured out how to remove the clock from the status bar on the top? I did a search, but nothing turned up. . .

You need to wait for Froyo.

predator clock widget 1x4 setting is awesome .u can change colors to match ur wallpapers very cool ul love it and its free in the market

It is is not a simple clock widget, but Fancy Widget Pro is da bomb!

I use "animated analog clock" by DNS project. It has seconds hand! 99% of clocks have no seconds! Is it really that hard to makes clock shows seconds??

I like Simi Clock Widget. Clean appearance, can launch multiple apps by tapping, and its free.

Fancy Widget Pro is the best out there for clock and weather. Has so many skins and new ones every day!

I've been looking for a Android digital clock with "seconds" since I left WM Not sure why we don't have any....

HTC Clock App for Froyo

Is there any way at all to get the HTC Clock app into Froyo? Not the widget, just the clock app. I want it because it's so much more full-featured than the default Android clock app.
It's seriously the only thing holding me back from going back to CM6. I loved everything else about Froyo.
Any advice? Or does this fall under the "Sense has not been ported over to Froyo" stance? I just want to know if the HTC Clock apk can just be tweaked to run on Froyo as well, since it's not a widget.

I know Regaw is trying to port sense to 2.2, but I use beautiful widgets and launcher pro plus. I would recommend buying these 2 apps and run CM6.

Indeed, I heard he is trying port as well, but I don't quite care about the Widgets. I still have my copy of Fancy Widget (which was/is free) and I bought a copy of LPP. The only thing is that it doesn't solve my issue, I really really like the clock app from sense. It had not only alarms, but a desk clock function, but a world clock, a stopwatch and even a countdown timer. I use all of those pretty frequently.

Actually, maybe, if you're using Froyo, you can rip the Clock apk from a sense rom and see if it runs in Froyo?

download iclock from amith gc found in market. The only thing it is missing is desk clock. Can't find one that isn't for HTC Sense

Well, I can't . The market is down, At any rate, I'm not looking for a widget, I have Fancy Widget, which looks exactly like the HTC Sense Clock Widget, and even let's me configure the tap zones (like saying, tap the clock and launch the clock application).
Problem is, I want that same clock app in Froyo, because then, I can finally leave Sense UI behind.

I too have been looking for the sense clock. I really liked the timer/stop watch it had. I used it all the time. I tried to find the .apk from other sense roms but everything I tried gave me errors and would not run. Some of the .apk's wouldn't install at all. I'm guessing they would have to be ported some how and thats way over my head.

I'm also very interested with this. I totally prefer the HTC Clock over the standard android clock. Timer and stopwatch is a must for me.

im pretty sure the SENSE clock has different framework then the stock android. i could be wrong but yes you would have to use an app to get it.

There's an app 'Stopwatch & Timer' that seems to work fine. I know not everyone wants separate apps but I don't even get cake, let alone the opportunity to eat it too.

HTC clock will not work on cm6, as it is built on the sense framework and cm6 is AOSP. About the best you'll get is fancy widget, though, beautiful widgets is a fine replacement. Sadly, nothing that I've found has all of the functionality of the sense clock. :-(

exactly wat i was trying to say you just worded it better..lol

Sense Clock
If anyone figures this out I want it too. I've been scouring the web for hours since I rooted my phone trying to find the desk clock/world clock/ stop watch/timer/alarm clock...I can't believe no one else has come up with a way to put all of those together in one app...

SenseUI style clock?

I love the SenseUI clock widget....is there something just like it?? Preferrably one that shows the date too

Have a look at "Beautiful Widgets". They have a theme-able clock which looks similar.

Fancy Widget

Fancy widget

Weather widget donate version looks good and had a whole bunch of skins...
My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...

I've got both fancy widget and Beautiful widgets. Both can be set to look like sense however I prefer beautiful widgets because it has more skins and programmable options such as you can choose what apps to open when tapping the weather, clock and date. I have mine set to open my weather bug pro, alarm and calendar similar to the sense UI

Is there any way, any where to get the Fancy Widget anymore? I'm guessing its been taken down...

IMHO Fancy widget is as close as you can be to Sense. BW or WW are off as far as I like. BW is too close to edges and WW is a bit too low within widget.
