I wanted to try and go with some stock Android widgets, went to put the News and Weather widget on my home screen, but I could not find it on the phone, and then looked it up in the Market, and nothing shows up ?
On my Wife's Nexus-S 4G, it is a standard Widget. Whats up ?

If you long press on a blank spot on any screen then tap on "Widgets" and scroll down you will find News,Weather widgets. If you tap on "Browse all HTC widgets" and scroll sideways you find 80 widgets, with News,Weather also.
Happy hunting.
Don't see that anywhere. I click on add Widgets and the News is not there like I see it on my Wifes Nexus-S. Plus no HTC option.
Wonder if its because I am running ADW ex ?

You are correct, if you are running a different launcher than the stock you won't have any of the Sense widgets.

"News and Weather" is a stock Android widget on all Nexus phones, it is not a Sense widget.
So I am curious why its not showing up then ?

Ok so lately the past couple of days sense 3.0 has been really laggy on me, why i dont know so i switched back to my usual launcher pro. It is decent but for some reason it is the slowest on the 3d......it is even faster on my epic. So i switched to ADW and it is flying.....got it set up all nice and goody with everything........except one thing i have been trying to do is get the htc weather app to open up when you click on the weather icon on beautiful widgets. It absolutley will not work. It just continues to open up beautiful widgets own weather app. Is this app denied service by third parties or what? Anybody else able to do this? IK IK the weather included in beautiful widgets is decent but i like HTCs weather app better and why shouldnt i be able to use it just becasue im using adw.
Not a real answer, but if you click on one of the day forecasts at the bottom of beautiful widgets weather, it opens htc weather (at least for me with golauncher).

Exactly how it works for me too, and I use ADW.
The wording for weather application in the settings for Beautiful Widgets says, when you click on the 5-day forecast.

Ahhh. It does. Wierd. I never bothered to click them.......I guess thats good enough lol.
Great lockscreen app here that recreates the ring lock from Sense 3.0. Can be a bit quirky at first...but seems to settle in after a bit. I couldn't imagine NOT having the sense 3.0 Lockscreen after having used it...glad to have similar on my Photon!

Yeah...saw that post...I went with the paid version. It's under $2. I usually don't use the free apps if they seem shady.
I know it's not exactly the same thing but if you have Widget Locker then you can install this:

I had installed it on mine, but removed it after it kept giving me issues where i had to unlock that screen and the stock one. Other that that it looks very close the the evo 3ds lock screen. Only reason i miss my evo 3d

You should check it out again - they released a new version that fixed this for me. The new version also allows Widgets on the lockscreen now and returns you to what you were doing when it locked instead of always going to the home screen.
works great on my optimus S.
im currently selling my 3d and about to buy a "MOPHO"
optimus is a great standby phone to have. and this is a great app to remind me of my great 3d ui.
thanx!

I did a quick search on the Market for Agile Lock and didn't come up with anything. Either way, Widget Locker has the Sense 3.0 lock screen as one of their default themes and it works great. I'm actually using the ICS theme now with WL
Not a big fan of Sense, but I can confirm (or add my confirmation) that the Sense 3 lock in WL works like it does in Sense 3 (I had a Sense 3 phone for 6 days).
The latest WL doesn't fix the stock lock coming up after it, and sometimes WL has to be unlocked twice. I'm not sure what's up with that, but it's a buggy app for sure. I don't blame TeslaCoil Software, though. They do good work. It's Google's fault there isn't a clear way to remove the lock screen or otherwise change it. Only hacks.

To disable the stock lock screen completely get the "No lock" from the play store. Now you can use the widget locker as your only lock screen

Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a method to change the icon set in Touchwiz 4.0 (yes im rooted) to something else other then what they have as stock.
And furthermore, ARE there any icon sets out there? I saw a couple of cool looking screens in the post your screenshot thread, but i'm not sure if that was because they were using some different launcher.
Thanks,
diabolical
I am also interested in this. I really like touch wiz ui and all the features but i strongly dislike the childlike icons. Is there anyway we can change the icons without changing launchers?
I was wondering if we can have the
HTC Sensation XE Lock screen (with the circle to launch)
on the Samsung Galaxy S ll
The HTC lockscreen is cool. Just get the app Agilelock. It duplicates it perfectly. Only issue i found is right when you install, it pops up a message that you cant read, unless you can read some form of chinese. Hit the right button. The left button will download something.

They probably used a theme (with a custom launcher). I think launcher themes change entire icon sets. Other than that, idk.

Unfortunately, if it's anything like Sense, then the stock Motorola widgets are only accessible when using the stock Motorola launcher. Basically, they are integrated into the Launcher and it's not possible to run them on a third-party solution.

uh when I load up ADW and long press the homescreen I only have ADW widget. For example, I want to use the Favorites Contacts , the one that when you swipe down on it, it reveals a 20 block screen of your contacts. Can you check for that widget please to see if you can add it as im not from ADW.
is it possible to add sony ericsson default music player widget with adw launcher by using rom manager or by using the root method..i tried installing the music player widget but wont show up when i tried to add the widget in adw launcher..is there any solution at all ?

Favorite Contacts is only available with the stock launcher, I believe.
Almost all of the stock widgets do work with third party launchers. Interestingly, they look like they did in earlier versions of Blur, without the 'chrome' of the Gingerbread BlurHome (the dark blue with gaudy glow animation).
The exception is the favourite contacts widget, which 'works' in the sense that you can place the widget on a screen, but it's invisible.
Genuine question here - aside from the scrolling email widgets and the favourite contacts widget (which is bloated) the Blur widgets are the worst I have ever used on any variety of Android. Half of them don't even launch anything when tapped. Sense, Touchwiz, Timescape/Mediascape, every OEM skin with its own widget set has been more functional than this, even if it's not my cup of tea.
What gives with MotoBlur, and what do people see in it? I swear Moto know it's awful, why else would they automatically set the first third party launcher you install as default?

I use Go launcher and when I place the favorites widget on the homescreen nothing appears. After which I can then click/hold that same blank space and the options appear to modify or delete it. I've not seen anyway to place any stock widgets while using another launcher.

It is available. The fact that those launchers are unable to handle it is another thing. Same way the stock launher does not work with 52.

They all say "flip", "HT3" or "sense" but do they actually flip? The beautiful widget ones don't and alot of the other ones I found don't. I gave up looking after being duped a couple dozen times.
Pretty sure that HTC has copyrighted the flipping animation, so other clocks aren't allowed to used it. Legally, at least.
Here you go, sense 4.0 clock widget but without flipping, really nice and resizeable, kinda like fancy widget, got it here in xda somewhere.
To whoever installs this make sure you start with an empty screen or you'll get the no more room message, even though the clock doesn't take up the whole screen, the widget does. Once you apply it just resize the empty areas of the widget, it installed full screen for me but I resized it 5 by 3.

That one doesn't work in TW as it's designed for landscape and keeps saying out of room even on an empty screen. Works fine in Go Launcher but there are better ones out there for sure. Thanks all the same.
Found one in in Google play and the clock flips and you can change the colour, how it flips and whatnot. Downside is $1.97. Here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sgolovanov.GSFlipClockWallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNnb2xvdmFub3YuR1NGbGlwQ2xvY2tXYWxscGFwZXIiXQ..
