Im always torn by using a rom with sense and without sense. I like using roms without sense but i love the sense widgets. Is there a way that I can only flash the sense widgets?
Launcherpro Plus will get you decently close.

my only problem with launcher pro is that when I use launcher pro it takes awy my preset dock bar thats preset up with virus rom. problems ....problems
Colorize Widgets, Pure Messaging Widget, Android Agenda Widget, WidgetSoid, and Beautiful Widgets.
Those alone should get everything you are after and then some. Two you will have to pay for, but it not like its much.
Contact integration is the only thing that I cannot get anywhere near in regards to the way Sense handles it.
Hi Guys,
Quick question out of Adw launcher and LauncherPro or Go Launcher Which is the best to use??
I want Photo Widgets But it seems theses Home replaceMents Dont have them
Launcher pro and ADW use to have Photo widgets but not anymore
do you guys have any ideas or should i just stick to Sense
KiK me at username CellOo

I use adw now....been for about 7 mo.that now...I used to use LP....been a while tho....but I'm almost positive that LP had the people widgets but adw doesn't.....I guess it all comes down to personal preference....but there's a TON in the market....but I.always though.adw was a bit more stable

Actually, I've been using 'HE Launcher 2' lately (free from the market) and I love it. You can choose from all the popular docks (including a perfect Sense rosie, stock Gingerbread, Samsung, Froyo, espresso, blur, etc.), it has swipe-to-hide notification bar feature that works perfectly, and you can completely customize the size of your homescreens AND widgets.
Plus, Custom transitions, a blazing fast FULL app drawer, supports live wallpaper too..
I added a flip-clock with fancy widgets home, so now my phone LOOKS like it's running the Stock launcher, but it's waaay faster.

i use adw launcher
I have been using LP for a while now, sense was driving me nuts lol.
The stock android photo frame widget will work with any launcher..
Try out Go Launcher, it's free with alot of different themes and widgets (including a people, messaging, and Facebook widget)

Go launcher EX works wonders for me , couple it with the pure messenger and calendar and built in FB widget its stunning.
So I know this might seem funny to some people...
But I REALLY love the people widget that Sense has that lists favorites along the left but their last interaction next to them. Like latest facebook status, or call timing, or text message, etc.
Does any replacement launcher offer something similar?
Or is there a standalone app/widget that can do this?
If so, I definitely wouldn't mind parting with Sense...
I know that I'm not the only Launcherpro user out there!
Honestly I originally chose LPP because of the sense like widgets, but with the addition of themes (icon and widget) and transition animations, I really can't use anything else.
Plus I've found LPP to be more responsive than go or Adw, but i know many would argue on this point.
Really its just personal preference- they're all great launchers.

I'm anxious to see which launcher will be the first to be in 3D, similar to the EVO3D commercials, which shows the Sense home screen in 3D.
I have tried all launchers outhere and always go back to launcher pro. If you know how to set it up you'll have the smoother best looking launcher. LP is running at a cap 60fps scrolling with no lag. Transition effect "scale" and even iphone user are shock in how much more smoother my launcher is compare to an iphone 4. The widget are awesome too. Im using facebook, calendar and bookmark with honeycomb theme. Would not go back to any other launcher again. If anyone mention stutter or lag in LP is because they have not set it up right in the setting cause i was getting lag at first too.

I have ADW EX and LPP, the only complaint I have with LPP is the app drawer animation seems incredibly choppy.

A bit off topic, but I use adw, and I can't get it to Stick. When I hit home, sense comes back up. I used to get a choice, and could check use this choice always so adw would come up when I hit home. Anyone know how to get it back?

The launcher seems limited, and even worse, has some pretty big performance issues. It seems fast *for the most part*, but relatively frequently, when I go to close or launch an app there is a pause or delay. Anyone else experience this?
So who else has ditched the Sense 4 launcher for Nova or something else?
I, personally, like some of the widgets offered through Sense, however I do not like the limitations. The things that pushed me to switch primarily are 4x5 rows/columns for icons and such along with a superior dock setup. Stock sense with an app drawer and 4 options is just too limited. I made the jump for Nova launcher when my OG Evo was running ICS and purchased the paid app and have not regretted it once. 3 sets of dock bars, refined folders nestled within them, along with my 4x5 screens. I miss a very few of the sense widgets, but most of them I have replaced with Android Pro Widgets (free version is enough for me on this one).
Just my overall 2 cents. Plus some of the stutters with sense seem to be absent on Nova
Other than the inexplicable restarts after some applications, I think it's being locked into the 4x4 grid that will be the end of the Sense 4 launcher for me. If it was just 4x5 I could look past a lot more of the other things.
I've been using Nova. It's like butter.
Thanks for the feedback, guys. Been using Nova and I love it too. Shame I can't use some of the Sense widgets though. I was really starting to like the calendar and the people widget. Not worth the hassle of using the launcher, though.

I am not sure of the calendar, but the people widget in Android Pro Widgets i *think* is very very similar to the sense ones. Check it out, may be worth your time!
If Sense 4.0 had landscape mode for the home screen, it would be PERFECT. I am addicted to the calendar widget which is what is keeping me stuck on Sense. I tried NOVA and think it is the best launcher I have tried. Nova is super fast and has landscape mode. If it could use Sense widgets it would be a no brainer to switch.
Do any of you know if ANY launcher out there supports sense widgets?
I have used Go Launcher EX since the beginning of time, and love it

Apex pro is top dog for ics roms. Much better than nova. After U install, go into settings, advanced, and change update to betas so U get the newest.

I like sense 4 too, along with some of the widgets, but I leave my phone on the kickstand all day at work so having a landscape desktop is more important to me.
I tried both Apex and Nova. I'm currently using Nova (free version so far) and it's working great for me. I like that you can customize the rows/columns in both of those launchers.
I saw this on the xda homepage and it's pretty awesome. I love the lockscreen shortcuts on sense, but I remove almost all the widgets and random stuff you don't need and use Apex launcher, but if you remove the stock launcher the lockscreen doesn't work the same. So this guy figured out how to keep the shortcuts, change them whenever you want, and remove Rosie!
I followed his instructions and it works great on Energy's latest ROM. Check it out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874228

I just had a question.
I installed the QX Senseless ROM. I just wanted to know two things.
How do I get the original weather clock widget that comes with the stock rom?
And how do I set it so in my lockscreen I can pick from the things on my dock, like it is on the stock rom?
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
You can only have those features on sense. You could use play store apps such as widget locker pro for the lock screen and beautiful widgets for weather clock though
