Hi!
I am playing around with the ADW Launcher EX and realized that certain HTC Sense widgets were meeting that I like. Is there an ADW equivalent widget for HTC Sense Calendar (lists the Agenda) and Mail?
Thanks.

Launcher pro has a calendar widget and facebook widget just like stock sense, but I don't think ADW does.

that would be because they are sense widgets, and therefore do not work on any othewr launcher besides the sense launcher. I know, I dont like this either, as Id love to be able to interchange ADW EX and other launchers at times, but sadly this is not yet possible.

actually it's the other way around the stock/Sense widgets are proprietary to HTC, however there are some "copycat" apps to give you the feel of Sense.
i use koxx pure widgets and they rock!
What's that? Can't find it the market.

I just started using "Colorize Widget". I came from HTC Sense just like you, then played around with "Pure Messenger" Widget from Francois DESLANDES, but found it a little buggy at times (I even bought the paid version). The developer however is TOP NOTCH and responds to you almost instantly!
Now have been using the Colorize Widget (in the Market) and its more refined--shows Facebook pictures and you can "like" something and easily post a comment etc. You cannot do that with Pure. I have only been using Colorize for about 3 days, but was worth the $3.49 to get the "TimeLine" feature which groups FB and Twitter and SMS if you want into one widget just like Sense did. It also has the Agenda widget as you also request. The one thing it doesn't have is ability to add a photo if you are going to post a status update. Sense was able to do this (I have a Mytouch 4G)
Hope this helps...

As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, if you love the Sense widgets but want a different launcher with more options, Launcher Plus Pro is your friend. I've been a big fan of Sense since flashing it onto my mytouch 3g, but it's not perfect. The eye-soar of a dock was the worst IMO. Anyway, tried some alternative launchers but always missed the awesome Sense widgets. Long story short, I finally got around to trying Launcher Plus Pro, and it's got everything: a full-featured, totally customizable launcher (including awesome scrolling dock), and the most Sense-like widgets I've seen. It's got calendar, gmail, friends, contacts, bookmarks, sms. Not only do the widgets look a lot like Sense widgets, but IMO they work BETTER than their Sense equivalent. For example, the calendar widget allows you to switch between 'grid' and 'agenda' view within one widget, and the 'Friends' widget (LPP version of Friendstream) is super quick to post, while Friendstream looked cool but was SOOOOO slow. You don't get ALL the sense widgets, but you get most of the big very useful ones.
Just my $.02 - if you like sense widgets but hate other aspects of the sense launcher, give it a try.
Pure Calendar by Coxx
+1 for Pure Calendar even if it is not free.

And a good alternative app to "Launcher Plus Pro" is "Go Launcher Ex" with Free widget like calendar, clock..
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.
Is there anyway to modify the News and Weather Widget from TouchWiz 4.0 to work on CM7?
I really like the look of the widget and there is nothing like it in the market.
no. There's no way to get it working on an aosp based rom

Does anyone happen to have the stock calendar widget? For some reason I lost it along the way of changing roms and using apex launcher.

Do you see the stock application installed in your app drawer? If so, the problem may be that you are not seeing the widget because you are not in the stock touchwiz launcher as that is the only launcher where you can use the stock widgets in. Hope that helps.
Ah, you're probably right... Is there a way to make them work with apex?

I have never seen or heard of anyone doing that with any launcher specific widgets (i.e. go launcher, launcher pro) so I highly doubt it but will continue to look around and post again if i find anything.
The stock aosp calendar is in the Play store and the widget works great. I have it on my Note with Touchwiz

Anyone know how to add the contacts widget from the droid razr original? Prob the only thing I liked about that phone. Takes no space showing 4 contacts then drop down to show 12+ I think... Thanks
No you need the Motorola RAZR framework and that's impossible

Well it may not be, with the Motorola weather widget all you have to do is put the widget in system/app and use the Motorola launcher. The contact widget may be the same way. It seems that most of Motorola's widgets are tired to their launcher instead of being tied to the framework like Samsung apps are.
OP, try using the Moto launcher and pushing the widget to sys/app and launcher. Here is a link describing what you need to do:

Use the XDA link first, just know it may not work on AOSP ROMs. AOSP is 4.2 and I am unsure if any of the new Motorola phones have been updated to 4.2, if they have you could get the launcher and widgets from them and it should work. Also if you use the Motorola launcher none of the Samsung widgets, like the S-Note widget and the calendar widget, will work on that launcher. The apps themselves will still work, just not their widget counterparts unless you use the TW launcher.
Also porting framework can be done, it has been done before with one of the Samsung phones. The Dev ported the framework that the Samsung afford and widgets worked on and incorporated it into a AOSP ROM and I think he made a flashable zip so you could add it to any AOSP ROM, AFAIK it has only been done once though and it took him close to a year to do it. Most devs don't want to deal with that though because it is a huge pain in the ass and is extremely difficult to do and the reward just isn't worth it to mossy of them. I can't blame them for not doing it no matter how much I and other users want it.
