I thought it would be fun to share our Sense 3.0 widget preference/use, and since Sense 3.0 doesn't have the function of deleting cards from the carousel (unlike Sense 3.5), I want some productive/fun/cool widgets to fill up my empty cards.
tl;dr post images of your carousel in such form to share widgets
So to start it off here's mine:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My homepage (main screen, whatever) is kept simple, 2x1 digital clock with the 4x1 calendar upcoming event at the bottom. To the right I have the HTC Sense Friend stream widget to easily post to Facebook or Twitter (or both). On the left I have a bunch of useful links, and the Spotify widget. The stock HTC music player widget is pretty clear in the bottom left, just as the bottom right's weather widget.
Suggestions of things like better widgets apps, etc. are welcome .

Sweet theme! Do you have that in blue o:?
I assume you mean mine? No, don't have it in blue, I didn't create the theme. It's Myns Rom with mutant warm theme by Mutant. I used to be a huge fan of blue also, but now I'm loving the green.

Unfortunately guys this isn't a flashable theme.
I have been messing around with the Honeycomb look for the last week.
I've had some requests to share how I achieved the look so here goes.
Some of these are going to be paid apps, but lets support our devs!
First up screenies and there's a bunch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First up you're going to need Launcerpro plus. Once you have paid for it go to Signals23's thread and download his Honeycomb theme here. That will get you the messaging, agenda, bookmarks, Friends, etc...widgets. You will want to set up 5 columns on your homescreens in the LPP settings. These widgets will need to be resized just longpress and resize to fit your look.
Next for the honeycomb clock at the bottom of my homescreen you will need one more clock widget from here.
The weather widget is just Beautiul Widgets 1x1 with the "None" weather skin.
Beautiful widgets can be downloaded from the market here for $1.96.
The battery widget is BattStatt. You can download the free version here. I recommend upgrading to the Pro version for more customization.
The analog clock is Honeycomb clock FREE which can be downloaded from the market here.
Most of my icons are from the Ares HD icon pack by Radius which can be found here.
A few of the icons are from iconspedia, so if you don't see them in Ares HD check there.
The APPS+ icon is a shortcut that I set up for my settings. The icon is an icon from Manup's Minimal Text Clean icon pack that I played with in GIMP. Here it is, if you can't see it it's there just save and move to your SD card.
Right click above this and save the image.
I am using Audio Manager Pro with the Minimal skin from Johnny Bueno found here on the market.
For my music widget I am using Music Mod which can be downloaded from the market here.
For the dock and dock icons I am using this pack created for the Evo by bizdady.
For the power controls on my notification pull shade I am using Power Control Plus which can be purchased from the market here for $2.02.
The search widget and genie widget are included in Newkidd's AwesomeROM. Special thanks go out to him and all the above mentioned devs. Man I love Android.
If you find anything else to contribute to the look or just want to share please add to the thread.
If I locate anything else or incorporate any suggestions I'll add to this post.

nice! are you going to make a rom based off of this current UI setup? If not, is the theme just applied to stock? or can it be run on roms without bootloop issues?
Might be a silly question, but I cant seem to get my music mod to look like yours. How did you do that?

It's the 4x2 widget resized due to the homecreen being set to 5 columns in LPP.

This look can mostly be achieved with the stock ROM. There's no flashable theme, just a lot of random pieces I've put together in this thread.

So, here we go.. first id like to thank Ajthescot for this is ported from his theme here made a lot of changes because i also inverted a lot. and also the clock images came from Stoney 666 thread and also JAITHEMES for the andy you will see i made into the rosie splash screen. i can not remember where i found the boot animation (it isnt mine)
I tried to keep it as neutral as i could so you all can still use the sense skins that where posted in drew's thread and still have everything match. IT ALSO ADDS A FEW MORE DROPDOWN OPTIONS
I did not do any app icons... their are many icon threads you can chose from. i did this because i dont have the time i used to for android and i hardly ever get a chance to update apps.
but i did edit a icon set to match that i found here
YOU CAN USE DESKTOP VISUALIZER OR SOMETHING LIKE IT TO USE THE ICONS
DOWNLOAD FOR SHADE-v2
DOWNLOAD FOR ICONS SHOWN IN SCREEN SHOT DO NOT FLASH THESE!! UNZIP THEM AND PLACE ON SD I COULD HAVE INCLUDED THEM IN THE THEME TO HAVE THEM PLACED ON SD FOR YOU BUT SOME DONT LIKE ME DOING THAT.

Anybody notice that wallpapers always look crap even when you set a wallpaper from a high res image ? i wonder if its only a problem with me.
How are you guys able to change or remove the dock?

I think it's because of how Android is cropping them. You know, for when the wallpaper slides a little when you change homescreens?
It's annoying (especially after getting used to the nice crisp wallpapers when using stock webOS), but I've found a few that I use where it doesn't look so bad. I wonder if those other tablets that use gingerbread have the same problem? All the more reason to use plenty of widgets I suppose.

I use a live wallpaper called "MultiPicture", it allows you to have a different wallpaper or set of wallpapers for each home screen if you want or you could just go with one static image for all, it also has great scaling options.

Thanks for the transformerbread recommendation. I love the size of the soft keys. I had been using honeybread, but that has issues with the status bar. The one thing that's really bothering me is the battery icon goes right up to the very edge of the black status bar. I've attached some screenshots of my homescreen.

I like and always have liked Beautiful Widgets. You can put different skins on it...
HD Widgets have been getting increasingly higher reviews lately as well, but I am yet to try it.
i like the paid fancy widget!
Oh and one of the cool features of that LG O3D widget above (the top one) when you tap the weather, it shows and animated forecast screen... (raindrops, moving sun, clouds, etc... very attractive)
Any pictures of the fancy widgets?

I'll second Beautiful Widgets. Highly customizable. :good:

Haha that was actually one of my only complaints about this phone, the samsung included weather widget looks like crap. Funny because it looked fine on the galaxy s ii, loved it. Dont know why they decided to totally rework it and make it ugly for this new release of touchwiz. Oh well, BW to rescue!
edit- op, i think you can download the exact widget from the lg phones to the samsung too, i remember someone ripped it not too long ago i tried it on some of my old phones, looked nice! look around a bit on xda you might find the post again.

I have been using weather forecast widget for years now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.forecast_weather.v2 there's several sizes of widgets with and without your calendar integrated, as well as a number of icon collections and easy to use font and background settings. This is with a transparent background. What I really liked was the ability to have different widgets with different cities as well as a auto location. That however isn't working on this phone and I don't expect it to be fixed.

I am not seeing a "free" weather widget that is better looking than stock.
Beautilful widgets looks nice, but for three bucks is it worth it ?
I've been trying out some of the custom roms available for my EVO and there I've been generally happy so far. One issue I'm having, though, is my Sense widgets withdrawl.
I typically only used the Clock/Weather widget and the Calendar widget. I found a couple replacements for the Clock/Weather in either HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets (my current choice), but I have yet to find anything that resembles the Sense Calendar widget. I'm looking for something that can go 4x4 or 4x5 full screen calendar that shows the days, rather than a closeup on the agenda for a particular day.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement widget?
Thanks
