First,
you're in the wrong section theres a question and answer section for things like these.
I dont know what version of Sense you're running. But the one i run which is 3.5 on Runnymede and it does offer a way to add a panel but only if you have less than 7 set up
So as far as im aware you cant add more.
Same goes for any launchers i'm aware they have 7 or less screens.
But anyway damn, to use all 7 and fill them all up I find very hard, unless you're using larger than 1x1 widgets
lol
well sorry for wrong section...anyway It's not that difficoult to fill 7 pages just use 7full page widget are you are there ( news, mail, bookmarks meteo ecc..). It's like you just have 7 tabs on the old manila ( still rocking for me ).
I really would like to see this happen, havig more pages can give chance to add more widgets which make sense considering that htc alone bring 70 widgets !

Hey,
smeddy's right about sense widgets, they wont work with any 3rd party launcher,
there's still a few options for sense styled widgets tho, might not sound ideal at 1st but some give you more options to customise than sense does.
free
go widgets with the transparency pack:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.gowidget.transparency&hl=en
fancy widgets:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets&hl=en
paid
beautiful widgets & pure widgets
im sure there's more, these are the ones i know of

Hey,
No, you will have to make a choice between having more than 7 screens, or using the original sense widgets.
if ur priority is more than 7 home screens then Go Launcher is the only option (afaik), the apps i listed in the prev post are examples of sense styled widgets that you can use with Go Launcher.
so for example, using GO, you can use fancy widget to replace the sense clock,
use Go twitter, people, facebook or calander widgets to replace the equivalent sense widgets, this is how you can have more screens.
but if you cant do without the original sense widgets, you will be limited to 7 screens, hope this clears things up 4 u
My advice (for what its worth) would be just try it, if you dont like it, uninstall it, nothing lost!
il even get you started, here's the latest beta 2.62 its a bit quicker than the current market version (2.61), then search go widgets & go widget theme transparency in the market
Disclaimer:
I, myself or any member of my family or friends, do not work for, nor have an affiliation with Go Launcher, or any other Go products.
I'll try it but I'm a sense addicted and my goal was to have more than 7 pages with sense !!!

I've searched and searched and haven't come up with a definite answer.
Can the HTC Widgets be used on Cyanogen, or any non-Hero ROM?
No.
Definite enough?
No, short answer, the hero widgets were built for rosie/sense whatever you want to call it, basically it's another home replacement app. Widgets are not compatible with standard launcher.
Like above the answer is no. Although there are a few widgets on the market that look like the htc wigdets.
Beautiful Widgets-Digital Clock Widget
Contact Bar- People bar
Pure Grid Calender- Calender Widget
Pure Messenger Widget- Email/Message Widget
Damn, all I really wanted was the peep twitter widget, but I'll live I guess haha
Use Twidgit Lite!
I've always wondered since a Home Replacement is basically a stand alone app, and widgets on the standard sdk can't be animated like the hero's in most cases.
Couldn't we just make a HR that runs applications as widgets type of thing.
Like if anyones run a pulse rom and used taskiller you'll see it's cards widgets or whatever it's called running and working with sense UI styles.
I don't see why we can't just run touchflo on cyanogen... most Hero ROMs are based on 1.5 right now, so... hmmm

Thanks! Found it! However, with the limitations it imposes (not able to scroll and have more than 4 contacts) I think I will pass on this one, for now. Dev states they are working on a solution for that, once found, it would be worth the purchase for me.
I have purchased many apps, especially the Pure apps (Calendar widget, Grid calendar widget and Messenger widget) that help make the phone look/perform nicely.
Keep up the great work Dev's!

Might there be alternatives to these HTC widgets that I'd be able to use on my 1.6 based g1?

i would remove the link for the clocks, it considered warez.
After the putchase, it was installed, and when I go to select widgets, not all of the widgets are there. No clock, no weather, not sure how many I am supposed to have.
I decided maybe I need to uninstall/reinstall. Went to market, there was no 'reinstall' option. So I went into Settings/Applications/Manage Apps. and uninstalled. Got message I had a refund.
I presume I got the correct app, as it showed the right company in the Google Checkout.
What should be the right process to get this installed, especially if something is wrong.
One thing I find quite interesting with apps for Android: looks like no way to contact many of the sellers. For this for example I went to their web site, didn't see any support or method to contact them.
This app had downloadble widgets which means not all of them come installed with it.
Further research shows that many users have trouble with this app ranging from issues like yours to battery problems.
The website for the app says that you can contact them through email from the android market. if this is not the case, I would abandon this app on that basis alone lol.
poppycock app works fine on my n1 and my galaxy s.. once installed all widgets are there you only have to download skins for weather and clock.
try downloading with wifi on.. it is much faster.

Thanks for the input, but they are not there 'once installed', if then you have to 'download skins for weather and clock'. Seems to me a clock should be a widget, not a skin. On the site, which has all of 1 page talking of features, they mention things about skins, and downloading skin kits. That implies development to me.
I went to the Market online, but that, interestingly enough, you can't even search on. On thes web site, interestingly enough, NO method to contact them there. But thanks to your tip, I do see an email address on the Market from the phone.
This is quite an interesting learning experience.
The web site that is on the Market is not reachable. Maybe trouble tonight.
I'll try the email route and see if I can learn a bit more about what I need to get this stuff working.
there are 100s of custom clock skins they cannot possibly put them all with the app it would be huge.. you add the beautifull home widget under under skins download and select the clock you want..
The widget name you want is called Beautiful Home, and when you pick that one it opens up a settings box. Down at the bottom it "save and apply." You gotta hit that button to actually put the widget on the screen. If you hit skins instead you can choose what you want, but you have to apply each time as you back out of the settings interface to make the widget "stick". Small learning curve. Once the widget is up, you can hit the weather to see the big weather popup, and hitting the menu button there brings up settings and skin buttons.
This is my favorite widget, the most reliable. I have submitted skins that were accepted, so I know they are responsive. If you still need help let me know.
Thank you so much for the details. You'd think an app that is at a cost, however small, would have at least a base level of documentation on their web page.
Question: Is Beautiful Home a different set than Beautiful Widgets, or is it just required in order to use Beautiful Widgets?

Beautiful Home is the name of the clock/weather widget that comes with Beautiful Widgets.
Thanks. I got it going.
I was thinking that a 'Home' Widget was a replacement for the home screen or something like that. Its beginning to look like a home widget must be a widget that can be placed on any screen, and is 'home' to other things you will be adding, as opposed to replacing some other home widget. Is that the case in general?
How's that for a tongue twister?
I would like to know if you all recommend this app for the Captivate?
Beautiful Widgets + Launcher Pro = Fantastic UI experience

Which Weather Widget and Toggle Widges are you using?
I have Beautiful Widgets along wiht Beautiful Weather LIve Wallpaper, and really like it. But I'm always interested in seeing what's out there.
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.

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.

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.
I looked around and basically just couldn't find a good honeycomb theme anywhere from what I saw so I decided to take matters into my own hands...I do like honeybread for CM7...but it was just not exactly what I was looking for. So I'm running on the ADW Launcher EX so anyone can have the exact same setup with no problems at all. The Apps+ icon in the top right I made with the SiMi Folder widget with a custom pic icon...the clock in the bottom right is the One More Clock widget from the market. My messenger/calendar/gmail widgets are all from the Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets from the market. The bottom left icon I made with desktop visualizer and just have it linked to my current browser. The analog clock is obviously the Honeycomb clock FREE from the market. If you go into the ADW settings you just change the screen transition effect to Effect 1 to get the nice honeycomb like scrolling effect. I have gestures setup so when you swipe up on the home screen it pulls up the app drawer and if you swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...this way I can still use them w/o it ruining the honeycomb look. I also added the circle batter widget into the mix in the bottom left. My home screen is setup for constant landscape orientation and 10 wide by 7 high icon space...this was made this way just to make the icons and stuff where I wanted them too. You can't really use all of this space because the widgets overlap and it just makes it a pain so I don't recommend it. The other thing you have to do is download the free honeycomb theme on the market for adw...this is just to get the google widget that I am using. Also you'll want to download the honeycomb wallpapers app from the market...this is where I got my wallpaper from cuz it just looks the best in landscape...the one that comes with the theme just isn't that good if you ask me...both apps are made by the same developer. Anyways...here are some pics...I'm running this on my OG Droid with the MIUI ROM on it...hope you all enjoy. Just click on the pictures to look at them bigger and get a better idea of how it looks...I added them to this originally with them already full but the preview was cutting off the right side of the pictures and I just didn't want to chance it...please tell me what you think.
Here is a list of all the Apps/Widgets that were used:
ADWLauncher EX by AnderWeb - $3.18
Honeycomb ADW Theme by GFX Android - FREE
Honeycomb Wallpapers by GFX Android - FREE
Circle Battery Widget by Cedric Depoortere - FREE
One More Clock Collection Free by Xaffron Software - FREE

yeah the landscape makes it a little bit of a pain to use at times so i can understand not liking it that way...luckily you can make it portrait...just might take some tweaking...i've added a list of the apps/widgets that i used so that you can easily find them on the market...i would add links to app brain or something but i can't add links on here cuz i dont' have enough posts yet.
I'll also add the 2 custom icons i made for this...they aren't the greatest and i'm sure you could find better but it's what i'm using...there are only 2 custom icons...the apps+ in the top right and the icon in the lower left. I'll add them right away.

there really is no status bar...the bottom right is the One More Clock widget and the bottom left is just a desktop visualizer widget and the circle battery widget...the original status bar i have still in tact...just have to swipe down and it pulls it up.

If you're using the xda app, I usually have to use jpg files. Make sure shootme is set to take jpg pictures instead of PNG. Just open up the app and press menu -> preferrences.
squid try what blu3poptart said with the jpeg thing and see if that works...only thing is the 2 icon files i attached to this are both png files...so idk...i don't use the xda app to post anything...so maybe that is your problem like he says

I run MIUI and am sick of the launcher (app drawer, etc.) I like GoLauncher with its widgets and such. There are a few things I want changed though, and I would like to know if it has been done.
First, I like how the icons in MIUI are really large, in GO, they are very small. Can they be changed in GO?
Secondly, I like how the text under the icons in MIUI do not have the black background. Is this possible in GO?

I didn't know they had one. I will take a look.
Launcher Pro is the only launcher I think that can remove the icon label backgrounds.
One of the reasons I love it. I do wish it had bigger icons and maybe a 4 icon dock.

I like GoLauncher better because of home swipe actions,the ease of changing icons on both homescreen n dock and overall smoothness...
This is why I use ADW EX.. you can customize everything to do with the icons.. Size, background of icon, text color, size, fully customize the dock, instantaneous drawer (I find go launcher drawer to always have SOME lag), tons of themes, same swipe gesture options and screen animations.. The only thing you lose is the widgets and there are other market Apps that take care of that.

Same here.. LPP and GO are great, but ADW customization go further (no dock is a sweet feature too)... but ADW is not as smooth as the two others, I mean that when you want to edit stuff (widget size, placing shortcut elsewhere, etc) it feels weird, not as responsive, I don't like it but it's the only negative point so I live fine with it.. pros and cons..
In go launcher i use desktop visualizer to get some real big icons, miui style. It gives me even the option to open shortucs to folder organizer.

I just downloaded Desktop Visualizer and I did not find the option in there for icon size. How are you doing it?
Long press the icon from dvisualizer that you just added to your home screen and choose resize.
Dvisualizer is a widget, you can resize it just like any other widget.
