Desire News Widget

Although I love the way sense UI feels, I decided to go with froyo, and will stay with stock android until somebody ports sense to 2.2 . However, I really like the news widget that sense UI has. I've looked and found the apk, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6447678&postcount=10, but it doesn't install correctly. Can anybody help me figure out what's wrong or direct me to a working solution? Thanks!!

Before someone rips you a new one for not searching the forum, ill answer your question.
Simply... no. All sense widgets rely on the sense UI framework which cannot be ported over to a normal nexus one rom. So any widget seen on a desire rom cannot be ported over... period. Sorry bro

Laaame. Anyone know of a full page news widget similar to that of sense?

I dunno about a full page one, but NewsRoom is really nice.

[APP] ADW Launcher EX

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.

Check it out ASAP, there is a video link on the market/pit link.
Regards.

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

Thanks for posting, I noticed this on the market and wasn't sure what the deal was!
edit:
Pretty nice!

Not lots of extras but still pretty nice. From what he's written on his website there is plenty more to come

I really liked ADW.Launcher, but in the end I found Launcher Pro to be faster on my DHD and ended up using that. Any comments yet on how fast the new ADW is?

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

Good to know, thanks. I'll have to give it a try.

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.

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.
HTC HERO - HTC HD2 - NOW HTC DESIRE HD & SAMSUNG GALAXY S Bring on the modding.

How do you get the sense clock

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!

Here's the old Fancy Widget (the one that's a Sense copy) for anyone who wants it:

What App is that clock

That looks like the HTC Sense one I keep seeing on the ROM screenshots?

Fancy widget

I use one called Sense Analog Clock Dark (they have a non-dark version too) that looks like the HTC Sense one. I don't know if it is the same one as in the ROM screenshots.

HTC Sense 5 UI

My EVO 3D with Sense 4.0 and Ice Cream Sandwich has 5 rows and 4 columns of apps on the home screens. The One is 4x4, at least out of the box. Is there a way to change that?

Wait for a developer. On the sense 5 port I've been running, there's a mod to get 5x6.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

5x6 would be amazing. Will I have to root for that? Not that I am opposed... I've rooted every Android I've ever had and "jailbroken" every iPhone before that, but I was kind of hoping that the One would meet all of my needs without having to do so.

Does anybody know how to make the background transparent on the 4x1 clock/weather widget? I would like the one on my home screen to look just like the one on my lockscreen, but I can't find any appearance settings at all, really. It really feels like there are a lot fewer customization options in Sense 5.

Also, in Sense 4 when you went to add a widget there was a button at the top called "Browse all HTC widgets". You could go through their whole library and download whatever you wanted. Does that still exist in Sense 5? I'm really missing my 4x2 music widget, among others.
I feel like I'm getting screwed out of a lot of really cool features that I loved about Sense. I know that a lot of people hated it, but I don't see why I still shouldn't be able to download and use the things that I enjoyed.

I HATE that the HTC clock/weather widget forces you to use Accuweather. Accuweather is an absolute joke. I've seen them miss the temperature by 40 degrees the day before. Today their hourly forecast show it as sunny after 1:00 pm in Indianapolis. Weather.com shows it raining until 6:00 pm. I would just about guarantee weather.com is right.

[Q] Having the 3d scroll on sense 5.0

Hi there!
I was looking at the new sense 5.0 and I think that it's a shame that HTC has removed a lot of widget from it and even the 3d slide effect ( which basically has been copied from all the others competitors: samsung, LG, Sony etc ). Now you have the 2d slinding effect of sense 2.0 which is a shame in my opinion. I think that sense 5.0 need those things:
- widget from sense 4.0
- 3d sliding effect
- mobile wallpaper that slide itself when the user slide through the home pages.
Do you think that a custom rom could restore those things?? I think that it's about to hacking the rosie.

1) Umh, widget will be resized and rebased on new structure of sense.
Sense 4+ and sense 5 are very different.
2) I don't think is nice an 3D effect on sense 5 and it is very tough to add in sense 5
3) Maybe with a smali hack is possible
you have to find a Dev that can have a look into it and other users like it.
Personally i don't like #1 and #2 post

Well personal taste are personal taste but HTC has basically removed half of its widget on sense 5.0 and this has no reason to be because sense 4+ is very fast on my One S and the One is much more powerful than my phone, so they could leave the widgets as they was. They have even removed colored meteo widget, there only is the black and white one which I think it good just inside blinkfeed.

But the 70% of sense 4+ widget didn't used.
And i had a One X...
Personally i think sense 5 is better then sense 4+.
For animation, menù, new style of clock and blinkfeed

this is not true as it's true that when a user decide which widget need to use he doesn't change them anymore but every user choose his combination of widget so the more there are the more a user can choose. So I'm really disappointed that HTC has removed 3d sliding on home, mobile wallpaper and a lot of widgets

When htc One was presented htc said that the 80% of htc users didn't use the 70% of the widget.
So, the deleted that and they added BlinkFeed because people want know what is going in the world or country
They removed 3D animation and the wallpaper scrolling because is fast and fluid...
Personally I like sense 5.
It's simple and clean and better of sense 4+

I do not agree, I use 5 full pages widget and surely the combination that I use isn't used from many others, every user has his own combination. Also the sense 4+ in super fluid on my htc one S and it has a dual core processor, so the HTC ONE which has a powerfull quad core would have no problem at all in having 3d sliding.

Is an HTC choise, not mine, and I agree with HTC.
Sure, anyone have different use of widget, but a lot of widget (for htc) were not used
It's not just a problem of processor, but, imho, isn't the best to see...

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one
How come no one actually answer the question instead?
Yes I think it could be done but if it will happen I have no idea since I don't know what widgets are missing (haven't got a One here atm).
- Sent from here to there

I haven't a one either, I was asking since mine One s could get sense 5.0 as well. The missing widget should be the meteo 3d version and many others.
