Why is it that some widgets (like accuweather clock, calendar clock, program monitor, Y! finance clock) are only available when you're using the stock Samsung homescreen? I love the accuweather and calendar clock, and i want them to be available in my Launcher Pro homescreen? Is there a way to do this?
you have to install a different app to get similar widgets.
You can extract the apps from your stock rom, then install them in your new rom. How to do that is your homework.

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.
What's everyone that's running a froyo rom using to replace the sense widgets?

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
Hi!
I have sense still on my phone, running ViperOne 5.0, but I replaced the launcher with Google Experience Launcher. Since the Framework is still there, is there anyway to make the Weather widget show up in the list of widgets for GEL?
I can't find it, but the weather app still shows up in my apps list.
Thanks!
I have it rooted/romd to my LG G2 the weather widget keeps asking for details from the widget on my phone. I am using the touchwiz launcher. Is this faulty or is there an app I can download that will talk to it?
Touchwiz launcher is different then touchwiz framework. Only Samsung has touchwiz framework. The weather widget won't work for you.
