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.
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
thanks​
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)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
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?

Looking for a calendar and facebook/friendstream widget to use in ADW Ex on Honeycomb. Before Anyone says it, I bought Launcher pro plus years ago and love it, but I get FCs in honeycomb. For calendar I'm using business calendar but it is oddly sized / low resolution compared to the others I mentioned.
Thanks in advance.

Haven't tried them under HC but Android Pro Widgets has a combo Facebook/Twitter widget and a calender widget. You might give them a try.

There really isn't anything out there that is comparable to HTC's sense as far as looks an integration. There are a few clocks, not much else. mail widgets are especially bad. That's why I love sense. I do wish HTC would update sense launcher with a few modern options like grid sizing and more widget re size options. At least in HC they have some resize options but not enough. Yet there is no one widget package that offers much of anything to replace them on the market.

This was perfect. Meets my needs exactly! I was starting to contemplate going back to sense given ADW's problems (currently doesnt allow dock on bottom in landscape, no widgets) and the FCs I was getting in LPP. Thanks so much.
TW4 is an abomination. I have switched to the Apex launcher which does a good job of giving a stock ICS feel, but I want rid of the fugly samsung TW icons for phone, messaging, contacts etc.
Whats the easiest way to do this?
rant
Why the **** would you bother changing the good things in stock ICS, like folders etc, and replace them with the sort of ugly and arduous **** we haven't had to deal with since Froyo in stock?
/rant
If you get Apex Pro you can use the adw ICS theme and use the icon pack from that in the Apex theme menu.
Just download an ICS icon pack and long press to change them using Apex launcher. Did a quick google search and found many. One link below.

Once you get your icon sets, Desktop Visualizer from the market gives you the ability to change any icon with any launcher and resize it depending on what you want.

Does TW give you the ability to put the app drawer icon into the center?
