Which ROM does "Beautiful Widgets" Work Best With?

Hi all,
I'm interested in using Beautiful Widgets with any ROM in order to create a HTC-like sense in Launcher2. Only thing is, I can't find a ROM that supports it very well. Is anyone using a certain ROM with Beautiful Widgets successfully?
Thanks in advance!

Ok but that's not a "beautiful widget"....that's an HTC widget ....if I am thinking of the same one

No, its a beautiful widget. I know what you're talking about, its worked with every ROM i've used but I prefer the HTC widgets in all honesty. Why are you using BW anyway out of curiosity.

I want to simulate what HTC widgets might look like in Launcher2

The HTC-like widgets were removed sometime around version ~2.3-2.4 due to a cease and desist order from HTC.
Older versions will still have them.

Do you mind sharing where u get the icons? thanks!

Ok dumb question : are these custom tiles a part of the launcher or are they tiles of your own ?

I made some, used some from @GinoCorleone, and used the built in features of Launcher 7 for the rest.

No sorry, I'm still dumb : I have the free version of Launcher 7 (I'll wait prior to by the donate version, bad "Windows Phone Android" memories") and all I get from the app in terms of 2*1 tile are Music and Video images. No facebook, Weather, etc.
So what people are showing here are personal tiles, right ?

GinoCorleone directed me here. here are my screenshots

How do you get the lockscreen?

Mi locker (MIUI rom has an app for its lockscreen)

If you are using android 2.3 you should download this app that allows to customise your rom lockscreen.
Have you even wanted to have MIUI lockscreen? So, go to this web page and download MiLocker.

When you select a lock theme there is an option below to include the wallpaper or not. You can unselect it if you want your default homescreen wallpaper.

Also note thats its only hdpi. Can someone port it to mdpi? I wonder why miui make it to hdpi devices knowing most hdpi device can use miui not with mdpi devices.

That's way cool. I can't thank you enough for this. Been missing these ever since I moved to CM7 (damn MIUI kept corrupting my sd during restarts)

Does it support widgets and apps on lockscreen?

Some themes work on my mdpi phone- the very first one and the wp7 default ones work... trying to find others now.

I can't seem to get any of the themes from the MIUI lockscreen thread on here to work, just goes to homescreen with a notification bar which doesn't work.
Anyone else had better luck?

Not much working mdpi themes

Wow perfect, MIUI just wasn't working on my DI2 so I had to go back to CM7 but I miss the lock screens. I got widget locker but it's just not the same.
