Silly question, but I actually don't mind the blink feed, but I also prefer Apex, could it be possible to get blink into Apex??
I'm guessing not, but just thought I'd throw it out there. ATM I use a launcher switch to go between Apex & stock.
I was also wondering if there was a way to get the HTC stock weather widget into Apex.
Must use Sense to use Sense widgets & Blinkfeed.
Workaround for blinkfeed. Remove all homescreens from sense except blinkfeed. Create a shortcut to sense launcher activity in apex. Voila. I just read this, I didn't come up with it.

Yep, that works, thanks. The shortcut idea works much better than having to switch launchers, much appreciated
Now if I can just find out where to get a few Sense 5 widgets from I'll be 100 percent happy.

Beautiful Widgets and Hd Widgets are very close clones to the weather clock.

I found a good clock here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164584 and I'll use Android Pro Widgets. I use them on my Transformer pad and quite like them, only downside is the agenda widget won't accept all my accounts, the stock HTC one in Sense 4 was good for that, and I miss it.

UCCW has some good sense 5 skins. give that a go!
+1 to HD Widgets. You can customize them to look very much like the Sense widgets.

When I look at the HTC Aria, there are many more widgets listed under Android while the Captivate has a much shorter list. How do I add those widgets to the Captivate?
Anrdoid Market.
On a side note I really recommend Beautiful Widgets. It is worth the money and adds a very Sense UI like clock / widget fun.

Good point that is more than likely the case. For a sense ui like feel get LaucherPro (Its free) and Beautiful Widgets (Paid). Or if you like LauncherPro it has a paid version that adds a few extra widgets.
If your using LauncherPro or ADW-Launcher I HIGHLY recommend giving "Pure Messenger Widget" a try. It's by FAR the best social network widget out there. And if your using one of those two launchers I just mentioned its scrollable! You can customize it to make it just like HTC's FriendStream or Twitter widget.
What about things like the stock news and weather widget? I didn't find that in the market and now since replacing touchwiz with launcher pro I don't have access to the daily briefing widget anymore.
Now that most of us are using 2.2 with no sense, I was wondering if any fellow forumers had any alternative widgets, available through the market, that helps ease the pain of using Sense for the moment?
At this point, Ive found Pure Grid Calendar Widget to be a great alternative for the Sense Calendar but Im still trying to find something to replace the "people" widget on sense, to fast dial your favorites in the same manner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
This is why I am sticking with sense. The phone.apk is god-like, and I couldn't live without it.
I think launcher pro plus has Widgets similar to sense.
Sent from my HTC Hero
Launcher Pro Plus now has calander, people and bookmarks widgets. There's beautiful widgets for flip clock/weather...I really like Dialer One for the phone, better than the sense one IMO. That about covers it I think...
Actually, Launcher Pro Plus now has a messaging widget as well.
I like Fancy Widget for the flip-clock/weather, but not quite as much as I liked the Sense clock/weather widget. I'd really like something that could show multiple cities of my choosing, in addition to current location, which Sense provided.

Ok, so I've been a big Launcher Pro fan for the past few months now after using the original ADW launcher previously on my N1. Anyway, still cruise the Nexus forums (still have my N1 and love it!) and saw a vid posted a few days back of a crazy new ADW launcher due for release and guess what, it's here and it's on another level compared to anything we have had before. I bet the guys at SPB shell are in bits right now as there whole USP just got trumped.
Just been playing with the configuration options for the last 40mins and it seems that I'm still at the tip of the iceberg. Some of the 3D effects are just stunning.
Anyway it's over at AndroidPit and obviously on the market.
http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/org.adwfreak.launcher/ADWLauncher-EX
Check it out ASAP, there is a video link on the market/pit link.

Just installed and I'm starting to mess around with it but wow!
There's menus in menus in menus.....
There's a lot of options :O

That's one of the reasons I switched over, as LP was always the faster launcher, but the new EX version is blazing. The most appealing part is the 3D home screen transitions, which once again are blazingly fast. The only things which have slowed it down are buggy widgets. I do miss the LP widgets but have still got the old Pure widgets which are a great replacement and highly customizable.
Overall I'm very impressed with this revision of ADW.
Regards.
I find the home screen transitions very fast too, I still think the app drawer is a bit laggy though, which is where Launcher Pro has always had the upper hand for me speed wise, but I love the catalogs on ADW.
i might try this after i get bored with CM7 and the default launcher

Can't we use all the widgets like eg. the clock from sense in adw also ?
I can't figure out how to anyway...
I think the new adw ex is fantastic, but without the widgets, using it make no sense
But on eg. my S/E X10 it would be great I think.

Sense widgets only work on Sense. I don't mind at all though because aosp may not be as pretty but out sure is fast.
This new launcher is awesome. It's like adw on steroids. It's a pity I just purchased Launcher Pro. That app is good but seems kind of stagnant, development wise.
Nice widgets but you can't even rearrange the home screens which is annoying if you want to add more screens and keep the one with the clock in the centre.
Sent from my Gingerbread eating Desire HD.
Great app after buying adw launcher all that time ago and just brought launcher ex wow just so great. Its nice to see new animation come with it. Just make you're home screen come alive a bit more
I think that what first got my attention. With sense and the weather animation just add a bit of life to your phone.

Look for a similar one on the market, Beautiful Widgets might be your thing.
I like this one: SiMi Clock.
Ok I know everyone is asking about the sense clock widget on this launcher but we have good reason to ask this, cuz when you look in the market at this app and u look at the screenshots provided, it looks like they are using the sense clock! I am using beautiful widgets and I have looked for one that looks similar but they all still don't look as good as the sense clock. So I'm curious myself if it is the sense clock or did they find a sweet skin that's looks identical to the sense clock?
That's because they're probably using Fancy Widget.
The old version was an exact copy of HTC Flip Clock, so HTC made them remove it. Unfortunately the new version you can now find on the Market is different and doesn't look as good.
I'll add a Dropbox link later if I still have the original apk at on my home PC (at work right now).
You should also be able to find it here on XDA if you're good at using the search function
Has anyone tried using new themes with EX? I'm finding that launcher graphics don't line up in this version when they worked fine in the CM version of ADW. Not sure if the spec for themes has changed?

That'd be sick dude!! i find myself undecided and switching back and forth between Sense and adw b/c i love the flip clock with the animated weather forecast and whatnot
Loving the new launcher too (was a bit sceptical at first since Launcher Pro was faster than the original ADW Launcher)....but this one is fast and 'fancy' with all its animations!
Does anyone know a way we can have custom dock backgrounds like in Launcher Pro? It’s the only thing I miss!

Hello guys!
You can try this mod on you Android.
The settings are is in Russian,so you can post here photo of settings,and i will translate their for you.
How to install:
If you have not installed the LP, or remove the settings before the installation: just install the application convenient for you.
If you already have an old version of the LP modes Sens, reinstall. I'm doing it this way: I write in ADB adb install-r <a link to an application>
EDITED BY MOD - WAREZ IN POST:

Hello!
You'r welcome!
Use adb command in a terminal on your computer.
I have looked through the APK provided by the OP, and ALL this is (and this should come as no surprise to anyone) is a repackaged LauncherPro APK with a Sense dock. I also assume that this runs on an outdated version of LauncherPro, given the filename (LauncherPro_SenseMod_0.8.0.apk) whereas LP is currently on version 0.8.2.
This seems completely superfluous and unnecessary, given that all of the changes this "mod" makes can be done without replacing LauncherPro, just by storing the proper images on your SDcard and using LP's built-in customization. The only changes in this mod that can't be done through LP's built-in customization are the trash can and home icons shown when deleting icons or when in the app drawer. If there are any other changes, I certainly can't see them.

Absolutely not. HTC Sense widgets require an HTC framework, and this "mod" does not provide anything of the sort. It also doesn't change the status bar to black, obviously, as that is something stored in the phone's framework. This is, again, just a repackaged LP.
I assume what the OP meant was that you can use the HTC Sense "lookalike" apps that have been on the market for ages. That is, Weather Widget & Toggles, Fancy Widget, or Beautiful Widgets. These apps have been out for a long time and do not require this "mod" in any way.

Version of the mod and the LP version are two different things.
Well you told a member two comments up that he could use Sense widgets using your LPP mod.
So.. Yeah.
Since Sense widgets are dependent on Rosie to work they will never work with LPP
you can find a sense dock anywhere without installing this so called "mod". I can't believe you said to the guy he can use sense widgets on launcher pro when in your op, you are clearly not using sense widgets. You even put links to those that just imitate htc sense widgets.

Nope he meant the sense widgets, you need to read properly. And its obvious that sense widgets won't work on lpp, so why tell him it does? Also your op says nothing about imitating sense widgets.
This is a pointless mod as everyone knows you can't use sense widgets on lpp. So why give links to apps we already know.

So today i decided to go over and look at the evo and shift forums. I saw there there were ROMs with launcherpro or any launcher, with a themed notification bar, with SENSE apps and widgets. Now me being a longtime cdma hero user, I don't recall us having that ability. So i guess I'm wondering if it is just that our phones don't have that capability? Or am I stupid and we do have a ROM like that?
BTW, i feel like im asking a real stupid question please don't flame.

They are not sense, they just LOOK like the sense widgets. There are many replacements for the sense widgets, like those with launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets. I used to be a fan of sense, but being on gingerbread now, I have found replacements (BW, ADW EX and Pure grid calendar widget) and now I don't miss sense at all!
