So today i decided to go over and look at the evo and shift forums. I saw there there were ROMs with launcherpro or any launcher, with a themed notification bar, with SENSE apps and widgets. Now me being a longtime cdma hero user, I don't recall us having that ability. So i guess I'm wondering if it is just that our phones don't have that capability? Or am I stupid and we do have a ROM like that?
BTW, i feel like im asking a real stupid question please don't flame.
Launcherpro Plus.

They are not sense, they just LOOK like the sense widgets. There are many replacements for the sense widgets, like those with launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets. I used to be a fan of sense, but being on gingerbread now, I have found replacements (BW, ADW EX and Pure grid calendar widget) and now I don't miss sense at all!

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. =(

hey all, I'm using the official but rooted 2.1 Eclair ROM, and i was previously using the latest 4.x Froyd Froyo rom, now i loved the launcher pro style launcher on there it was pretty awesome. Now my question is, can i replace the launcher on 2.1 but keep Sense UI? as in something like launcherpro but keeping sense
I've asked the question before on theming the launcher/ navbar but never got a response, as a themed navbar would better suit my needs! thanks in advance

I might misunderstand your question because how I see it it's a little (extremely) nooby
Anyways LauncherPro can be downloaded from the market
thanks for the quick reply
I'll try and explain in a little more detail. I LOVE how the launcher pro, ADW launcher etc, changes the look of the stock HTC Sense UI navbar, but i want to keep sense, whereas launcher pro etc removes it completely.
So im asking for a way to change the look of the sense launcher/ navbar, for example theming it, ive come across a transparent navbar, but thats not exactly what i was looking for

Well if you look under the theming section there are a lot of themes for FroydVillain. I know Ganii has ported a hell of a lot of themes and among those there's one called "BlackMod" which looks a lot like Sense The only downside is that you will lose your Sense widgets but there are seriously to many upsides of FroYo to think about that
Ok, so I've been a big Launcher Pro fan for the past few months now after using the original ADW launcher previously on my N1. Anyway, still cruise the Nexus forums (still have my N1 and love it!) and saw a vid posted a few days back of a crazy new ADW launcher due for release and guess what, it's here and it's on another level compared to anything we have had before. I bet the guys at SPB shell are in bits right now as there whole USP just got trumped.
Just been playing with the configuration options for the last 40mins and it seems that I'm still at the tip of the iceberg. Some of the 3D effects are just stunning.
Anyway it's over at AndroidPit and obviously on the market.
http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/org.adwfreak.launcher/ADWLauncher-EX
Check it out ASAP, there is a video link on the market/pit link.

Just installed and I'm starting to mess around with it but wow!
There's menus in menus in menus.....
There's a lot of options :O

I really liked ADW.Launcher, but in the end I found Launcher Pro to be faster on my DHD and ended up using that. Any comments yet on how fast the new ADW is?

That's one of the reasons I switched over, as LP was always the faster launcher, but the new EX version is blazing. The most appealing part is the 3D home screen transitions, which once again are blazingly fast. The only things which have slowed it down are buggy widgets. I do miss the LP widgets but have still got the old Pure widgets which are a great replacement and highly customizable.
Overall I'm very impressed with this revision of ADW.
Regards.
I find the home screen transitions very fast too, I still think the app drawer is a bit laggy though, which is where Launcher Pro has always had the upper hand for me speed wise, but I love the catalogs on ADW.
i might try this after i get bored with CM7 and the default launcher

Good to know, thanks. I'll have to give it a try.
Can't we use all the widgets like eg. the clock from sense in adw also ?
I can't figure out how to anyway...
I think the new adw ex is fantastic, but without the widgets, using it make no sense
But on eg. my S/E X10 it would be great I think.

Sense widgets only work on Sense. I don't mind at all though because aosp may not be as pretty but out sure is fast.
This new launcher is awesome. It's like adw on steroids. It's a pity I just purchased Launcher Pro. That app is good but seems kind of stagnant, development wise.
Nice widgets but you can't even rearrange the home screens which is annoying if you want to add more screens and keep the one with the clock in the centre.
Sent from my Gingerbread eating Desire HD.
Great app after buying adw launcher all that time ago and just brought launcher ex wow just so great. Its nice to see new animation come with it. Just make you're home screen come alive a bit more
I think that what first got my attention. With sense and the weather animation just add a bit of life to your phone.

Look for a similar one on the market, Beautiful Widgets might be your thing.
I like this one: SiMi Clock.
Ok I know everyone is asking about the sense clock widget on this launcher but we have good reason to ask this, cuz when you look in the market at this app and u look at the screenshots provided, it looks like they are using the sense clock! I am using beautiful widgets and I have looked for one that looks similar but they all still don't look as good as the sense clock. So I'm curious myself if it is the sense clock or did they find a sweet skin that's looks identical to the sense clock?
That's because they're probably using Fancy Widget.
The old version was an exact copy of HTC Flip Clock, so HTC made them remove it. Unfortunately the new version you can now find on the Market is different and doesn't look as good.
I'll add a Dropbox link later if I still have the original apk at on my home PC (at work right now).
You should also be able to find it here on XDA if you're good at using the search function
Has anyone tried using new themes with EX? I'm finding that launcher graphics don't line up in this version when they worked fine in the CM version of ADW. Not sure if the spec for themes has changed?

That'd be sick dude!! i find myself undecided and switching back and forth between Sense and adw b/c i love the flip clock with the animated weather forecast and whatnot
Loving the new launcher too (was a bit sceptical at first since Launcher Pro was faster than the original ADW Launcher)....but this one is fast and 'fancy' with all its animations!
Does anyone know a way we can have custom dock backgrounds like in Launcher Pro? It’s the only thing I miss!

Here's the old Fancy Widget (the one that's a Sense copy) for anyone who wants it:

Is there a Gingerbread theme or even a froyo ROM with just Gingerbread theme on it? I just want the plain Sesneless look of Gingerbread right now? If not someone should definitely make one. I was going to make a theme port but I wasn't sure it the lack of sense stuff would mess with the phone.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro with a Gingerbread theme. That'd be the easiest way and it's all available from the market.
Do any launchers support widgets yet? I've used ADW and 2.3 launcher and neither do.

Pretty much all launchers support widgets... did you mean to say the HTC widgets? If so, only stock launcher will work with those... but there are plenty of widgets that are similar or better than the HTC ones.
(Launcher Pro Plus includes many of them that look almost exactly like the HTC ones.)

believe me, if you're looking for support for HTC widgets in any launcher than the stock sense launcher (rosie.apk), you're not going to find anything. People have been trying since sense's debut (i spent a pretty good chunk of three months trying) and it's just too tightly wound into Rosie. I think most have given up on it at this point. I would go with ADW launcher (free in the market) and beautiful widgets or fancy widget (beautiful widgets is better imo, but fancy widget is free). I know beautiful widgets even has unlock animations now that work pretty well and aren't very intrusive. I'd give that a shot if you want a stock look with an app dock, with a small amount of sense.
Hi there, does anybody know if a Straight Rosie Bar "Dock" exists for the Sensation Xl ??
Have scoured the forums but to no avail, i was hoping someone would have made one.
Thanks
sounds more likely to be a launcher replacement then actual Rosie Release

Arh thats what it is called a Launcher, hehe always called it a dock. Doh!!

Try something like ADW Launcher, Go Launcher, Launcher PRO etc. from the market. many of them have themes which are extremely close to Sense, but using various different docks at the bottom.
