Merge Launcher Pro and Sense

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.

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.

we can't help you here, but it is still around

Thank you for listing out Fancy Widget. It was in my Android Market - free.

Which weather clock widget for the NC?

Tried MIUI but spacing and fonts looked funky. Would prefer something free that will display properly on my rooted NC.

I like Simi Clock a lot...free and customizable, displays well

I have to give my vote to SimiClock as well. Looks great and has a ton of options.

Fancy Widget

I personally like Palmary Weather a lot, and its widget doesn't have a clock, so I stopped using Beautiful Widgets and use Palmary and Simi. Looks pretty nice.

[Q] What are your must have widgets?

After some searching, it didn't seem there was a thread simply discussing great homescreen widgets. I'll be getting my first Android tablet tomorrow, so I'd love to hear what widgets you've found the most useful on the G Tablet. What can't you live without?

Launcher Pro widgets are awesome, very similar to HTC Sense widgets.

Did you buy the full version? Hows the calendar widget. I have yet to find a better calendar widget that works for me like the HTC Sense calendar widget.
Can you post a pic of the largest caledar widget Launcher Pro has?
Thanks,
Scott

You do have to buy launcher pro to get widget access but its cheep and worth it. Launcher pro has 3 or 4 sizes to chose from. If you plan on rooting the Vegan 5.1 rom has a calander widget that is full screen and works amazing.

If you setup LP 8 columns x 5 rows the Widgets fill about half the screen. The calendar widget is very nice, it's not an exact clone of the sense version but pretty close. Gotta pay to unlock the use of the widgets.

Jorte is a great calendar program, with a superb tablet widget. Sync to Google calendar and the widget can display a full month, with daily detail(!), not just icons. I love it.

I just grabbed the full version of Launcher Pro Plus. Very worth it! The transitions (cube, rotate, flip and shrink) are very cool.

vegan has a calendar widget? I don't see it in the widget list...

News
I can't seem to find a good news widget that is in column format and updates about 8 news items on my screen at once. News and Weather and GoodNews aren't working for me. Does anyone use one that they like?

And to avoid hijacking the thread, the main widgets I use are:
~LauncherPro Calendar
~TweetDeck (though the default Twitter and Facebook widgets are not bad)
~Sense Analog Clock Dark
~ScoreMobile
~Bookmarks

I use the launcher pro Widgets and typoclock permanently on the screen. If I'm listening to music I put the mixzing widget on the screen.
I'm going to check out jorte now though.

I tried Jorte (which I use and love on my phone) on the g-Tab, but the text was all fuzzy... I suppose I need to play around with the settings a bit. Anyone have settings that work well..?

Pulse is great. It's not a Widget but does a good job at what you are looking for.

Give Pulse a try. You can Add/remove different news sources and have many of them at once on your screen.

What widgets does everyone have on their NC homescreen???

Like me, everyone probably saves their prettiest and most useful widgets for their homescreen. Since I'm so finicky, I like to see everyone else's homescreens to get ideas for new homescreen widgets/setup.
This is what mine looks like. What does yours look like?
If you're wondering what the widgets are...
Beautiful widgets weather widget
Moine-Garde S-01 timepiece widget
Pulse reader widgets

It's just the Pulse News Reader widget, it's not a custom widget.

Your widgets look great! I only have the agenda widget from launcherpro. I might set up pulse that way too, depends if I ever get around to adding feeds.
