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.

Seeking some widgets...

After using LauncherPro and being fed up with it's poor performance, I decided to switch over to the much lighter weight Zeam Launcher. However I'm looking for certain free or paid widgets to replace what was available to me in TWLauncher as Samsung widgets or the LauncherPro widgets. Specifically, I'm looking for large friends stream, calendar and bookmarks widgets which I could use with Zeam.. Alternately, is there any way I could use the LP or even the Samsung widgets in Zeam Launcher ?

for friend streams Tweetdeck is a good one which can be found othe marker for free.
As for calendar there is another free widget on the market just search up calendar widget.

Well, I didn't really like TweetDeck. I'm looking for a widget that brings twitter and facebook updates straight to my desktop and is scrollable. I'll check out the calendar widgets...

Bump.
Guys, some help please...

Pure widgets are fine.
You can take a look at them on this website: http://koxx3.wordpress.com/pure-widgets-descriptions/
I especially like pure grid calendar and pure messenger.
Both are not free

Digital Calendar?

What's a good digital calendar?

Jorte, it has a widget that can show a lot of things also.
Its very customizeable.

I use Smooth Calendar Widget and the Launcher-Pro's (paid) calendar widget - they both work with the GMail App beautifully.
D

i would also recommend launcher pro's calender. infact, i got the plus version of LP just for the calender widget

Thanx for the replies, but I'm looking for the one for your home screen, like "februarytwentyfive" or something like that.

ah .... not sure ... I found most of my home screen widgets through the "post your homescreen thread" .... good luck.

Good thread idea. I'm a newb, and still looking for good widgets.
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.

That looks nice. What launcher is that? It looks very clean.

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
