Hey all,
I'm messing with xtrROM 5.0 now and I installed Fancy Widget and can't seem to add any widgets other than the main 4x2 widget. Am I missing something? I've done it on Froyo/GB and been able to do all the widgets, but not Eclair.
Thanks!

Is it possible to have HTC Hero Clock widget on CM 4.2.3? If so what files I need to apply? Please just give me an idea if its possible to do.
Thanks!!
Look up beautiful widgets its a replica of the HTC clock and little settings switches ,
So far only way to get it on doughnut until HTC updates their sense UI
The BeautifulWidgets app is very good. I've had some problems in the past getting it to sync correctly, though. The Beautiful pack has a few other decent widgets mixed in with it too.
or use weather widget donate for the touchflo3d look clock with the weather
Thanks for ideas guys. I already tried weather widget donate and no complaints. I'm going to try Beautiful Widgets now.
Hi, I love the sense widgets, and the Launcher Pro bottom bar and app menu. Is there any way to get the best of both?
Like this: (but not with the background clash)
Thanks, Andy
You may want to check out SenseHERO 2.1 B5 as it has something very similar.

I have used this rom and like it very much.

unfortunately, sense widgets and launcherPro cannot co-exist...I think the best solution is to keep launcher pro and use some widget sense-like..
for example:
htc clock-> fancy widget
emails and sms-->pure messenger widget
calendar-->Pure Grid calender Widget
i don't remember other htc widgets...if u need more help just ask to me
The small clock widget and the small wheater?
LauncherPro Plus
Buy LauncherPro Plus ($2.99 via Paypal). It contains Sense-style widgets for people, bookmarks, calendar and messaging.
For clock % weather I advise Beautiful Widgets (EUR 1.49) or Fancy Widget (for free).

Where can you get fancywidget? It doesn't appear to be on the market anymore?
EDIT: Nevermind, donned an eyepatch, hopped on a ship and floated to a website that had it.
How to surivive on an Android device without Sense
First step: Download Launcher Pro from the Market and donate $2.99 to unlock the Plus features. When unlocked you can add People, Bookmarks, Messaging, Calender and a Twitter widget very similar to the Sense widgets.
The second step is downloading BeautifulWidgets. You can get it at Market or AppBrain. It's a skinable clock/weather widget, similar to the sense clock with over 180+ skins. You're bound to find something that tickles your fancy if you like the Sense look.
The third step is downloading some widgets that look really sweet on your homescreen. Some of my personal favorites are:
- Digital Clock Widget
- Tajm
- BattStatt
- Pure Messenger
- Pure Calender
- Pure Music
- Weatherbug Elite
- 3G Watchdog
- Desktop Visualizer (for making icons/shortcuts)
- SD Card Storage Widget
- Inernal Phone Storage
- System Info Widget
When I made the jump from Sense to a ROM without, I missed it a lot. But only because I didn't know about all the apps/widgets that are actually out there. Good luck.
Hi,
Does a 2x2 Messaging Widget exist? I had MotoBlur messaging widget on my Moto Cliq/Dext but it doesn't exist on my new Samsung Galaxy S.
Thanks!
if you use LauncherPro Plus, you can resize the messaging widget so it is smaller if you increase the number of columns and rows
oh great! thx!
do you know a weather widget for launcherpro? i had to install a 3rd party app to get it
i use beautiful widgets but there are hundreds of others
Beautiful Widgets is not free but well worth the cost.
Yr.no isn't to bad
I looked for a list of widgets and was unable to find one. So Im starting a list here. Please post a list of widgets you're using or ones you know of that work good on the G Tab. Thanks.

So far I'm using Fancy Widget, and Widgetsoid.
Here's a list of the widgets I'm using or have used:
Beautiful Widgets tablet beta
Fancy Widget
Elixir(has tons of widgets and info buttons available)
Weatherbug Elite
Express News
Elixir is the one I'm using at the moment for all power control options, and Beautiful Widgets Tablet for my weather widget.

Do all the Elixir buttons work? I tried the Sound toggle as well as Reboot of Widgetsiod, but neither seem to work.
I haven't tried the reboot toggle, but the sound/mute toggle works well.
Im still trying to find a good RSS widget.
Scrollable News widget is great for RSS feeds. You do need a launcher that supports scrollable widget, such as LP or ADW
I use WeatherBug on my phone and love it but it FCs on my gtab. Instead I use The Weather Channel's widget, it works well and with the largest version it shows plenty of information.
For my RSS needs I'm currently using Google Reader but am not always happy with it. I wish Reddit is fun had a widget.
I also use the stock Power widget.

It's VT Launcher and I used the LauncherProIcons app to get the LP style icons, and bettercut to apply them. The rest is CM7 with the honeycomb status icons addition.
Widget failed to load
How many widget users have the issue of a widget failing to load after a few days, the only solution being dump the widget and reload it.
Not a big issue, just wondering if it is a launcherPro issue (my default) or a modded gtab issue. LauncherPro native widgets seem to do better.

Hi manikin13,
I havent really had issues unless Im messing around with the settings on my launcher. Im using VTL.Launcher and when i changed the dock background settings some widgets went squirrley. I would say its your launcher. Maybe uninstall and reinstall might fix it.
if anyone needs a good news widget, AtomaRSS is definitely one of the best
Hi all,
I'm currently on the V13 rom purely for the sense widgets [mail, messages, stock clock, people, etc]. I would like to move on to a 2.2 or 2.3 rom but notice there isn't quite the final working rom that supports sense. I think ChocolateFroyo 2.2 is the closest but doesn't have working camera?
Anyhow, thinking that if i update to an AOSP 2.2/2.3 rom, are there any apps in the market that provide the sense widgets feel?
Any other suggestions welcome!
Thanks
Launcherpro Plus supports themes now, there's a sense theme out for that, the guy that's done them has also made a sense style weather clock widget
http://lpsense.allo-mobile.fr/lp-sense-widgetpack-clock-widget/http://lpsense.allo-mobile.fr/
Also Go launcher ex with Go weather provides free widgets with there launcher. Maby you should check that out.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
LauncherPro Plus.
Fancy Widget or Beautiful Widgets for the clock and stuff if you want.
can someone tell me which is the best home screen clock other than the sense one ? thank you
Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget are my favorite other than Sense.
Thanks guys! Gonna install the Froyd 1.7.3 rom once my battery charges then I'm gonna have me some fun with the sense theme and Fancy Widgets!
fancywidget is the best
I use fancyWidget with the sense clock and its beautiful
Alright, got the new rom, got launcherpro plus and fancy widget [i love this!!]. So i won't bother with the LPP sense theme now. However i notice LPP doesn't have an email widget [gmail widget is useless to me]. Anyone know of a good [sense like] email widget?
Thanks!!!
