I bought this phone for the hardware... but man do I miss the Sense UI.
Found and purchased Fancy Widgets for the homescreen clock and weather, but still looking for the calendar and email widgets.
Any pointers on some sense-like widgets?
I would look into Launcher Pro Plus in the market. There are some themed widgets that go along with it.
Beautiful widgets are a great substitute for the weather widget from sense.

Yup these are nice
Thanks for the input. There is some nice stuff out there, you've just got to look for it I guess. Spent hours searching for what came stock with HTC.
Time will tell if the hardware on this phone is worth it, or if I should have stuck it out and waited for the Vigor.

First of all, has anyone tried Laucherpro Plus? It has a ton of widgets that are built specifically to be similar to the Sense widgets (e.g., message widgets, mail widgets, calendar widgets, etc.). It's $2.99, basically if you dl Launcherpro from the Market you can upgrade to it.

Secondly, there are many widgets out there that replicate the Sense widgets. Someone mentioned Beautiful Widgets, which serves the same purpose but doesn't look the same. Do some digging on the forums and you'll find Fancy Widget. It was taken off the Market by HTC because it looks exactly like the Clock/Weather Sense widget.

Thirdly, the launcher dock for Sense acts like the launcher dock for Sense. Sense is the Launcher setup, which includes specific widgets, the same way that Launcherpro has its own widgets. Think of the launcher as the controlling aspect of the operating system; it defines what you can and cannot use in terms of shortcuts, folders, and widgets. So in short, no ... but you certainly can make one look a whole lot like the other. It just takes some work.
And yes Fancy Widget looks exactly like the sense weather clock, and works great, I have been using it on the LP for a couple of months now and no issues, Google it you will find it still in a couple of forum and you can scan and download it. I would post it here but I believe it is against the forum rules, so if you don't find it PM me and I will get it to you
Hi. Is there an apk file for the HTC clock widget? I'm about to switch to the cm ROM and I want the HTC clock widget. I prefer the flip clock(doesn't flip on aria though) with the weather. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

I don't know about a "flipping" one but Factory Widgets makes one very similar to the HTC clock. If you search for it in the market using the maker it is impossible to miss.

Yes, you will have to load a 3rd party widget because the HTC clock widget is dependent upon HTC Sense which CM 6/7 does not support.
I think the factory widget designs, even those aped from HTC, look horrible. I personally recommend fancy widgets and to a much lesser extent beautiful Widgets if you're looking for well made clock weather widgets.

Fancy widget definitely. I have an older version and its identical to the sense clock.

Fancy widget is one of the few apps I actually paid for. +1 for Fancy widget.
Fancy Widgets is great but I like the beautiful Widgets because you can choose many styles of the HTC clock to change it up a bit and rock your style.

Anybody know of a decent clock widge. I don't like the stock one. I am looking for something similar to the sense clock/weather widget on HTC devices.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I would suggest using Beautiful Widgets, available in the Market. I have been trying out some of their clock themes, they all look good in Honeycomb.
Yup, Beautiful Widgets is the way to go. It's very customizable. Here's how I have it setup (top middle)

Are you using launcher pro also?
Yes he is.
Few days ago I've seen the sense 3.5 on my friend's Desire HD and he showed me the weather widget. Which was really cool looking. So can anyone make it? I know that I can't just pull it out from sense. So I would love to use that weather widget.
There's an app called Beautiful Widgets on the market that's pretty similar. It is, however, a paid app.

Fancy Widgets has one as well. As far as pulling the widget from the Sense ROM, that work because you need the Sense framework for it to work, so you would either need a Sense-based ROM, or an alternative like Fancy Widgets or Beautiful Widgets.
Just install this, go to the app and set your location, and put it on your home screen. It's not the full weather widget, but it is the Sense clock.
fancy widget pro, download the H7C clock from the skin market and its the exact same as the sense widget.
None of it is the actual newest version of the sense clock/weather widget though, doubtful it'll ever come out.
As the title says.
I'd like to use a custom launcher the blur one is a little laggy. But I love the "Quick Contacts" widget.
But when installing launcher ex or launcher pro it doesn't show. It's there but can't see it. Anyone else had this???
Like you, I LOVE that widget, however, there is yet no way to get it to work in any launcher besides the stock blur

Ugh. That sucks. Hope it will be fixed soon :-(
Go launcher pro has a widget similar to the stock contact widget and you can size it the way you like.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I know I know. But it's for sure not as amazing . If I size it the same it takes a whole screen. The moto one is just awesome. Snifffff
True. It doesn't pull down like the stock one.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Yeah, the stock one is really pretty, animated, and only takes up one line of screen when you don't need it.
