im looking for an app/widget that functions just like Friendstream by HTC. Ive tried kAmMa's status updater but its pretty ugly. I dont like it (nothing against the apps dev or anything). Im using APW in the meantime but it doesnt have all my streams compiled into one. Any recommendations?
I like using the premium version of LauncherPro's widgets. The widget's UI looks VERY similar to Sense UI. Sadly, you must use this launcher to use the widgets.
yea i know but im on an ics rom and i love the stock ics look. i found a few themes for apw that go well with the whole ics look so im sticking with that till i find what im looking for. thanks tho i appreciate your input broseph stalin
Maybe you could try wizz android widget
Tweetdeck (free app)
APW or wizz (paid widgets)
Pure Messenger maybe?

Why not TWEAKDECK instead? It's open source, free and with the same features.
Also Seemic but it's full of ads.
Tweetdeck isn't a replacement for the FriendStream widget as far as I can see.
I'm also looking to find a replacement having just bought the SGS3. I'll give some more of the suggestions above a go now.

Both launchers are great IMO, but I've usually leaned toward LauncherPro. I haven't installed either on my MT4G, and am curious to know what other MT4G owners prefer to run on their phone (after rooting, of course).

adw launcher all the way.

with that adw.theme.
[i bought adw.notifier too]
then put on something with a black wallpaper=ooommmggg
speed+eye candy
I just tried both and ADW is slow as a dog on my phone. LauncherPro flies faster than I remember it running on my old MT3G, but sadly I can't install/use any of the HTCSense widgets (most importantly the weather/clock one).
Keep HTCSense or LauncherPro? Hmmm.
I have been using LauncherPro Plus for over a week now. Decided to try ADW today. Although there are definitely some more customization options on ADW theme wise, LPP seems to run faster and more consistent. I will be sticking to LPP.
Also, the old version of fancy widget or the paid beautiful widget app can replace the sense ui weather/clock.

LPP all the way, by far the best. Get beautiful widgets if you want the sense style clock and the LPP widgets are just as good as the sense widgets.

same here... I love Launcher Pro and have been using Beautiful Widgets since they came back after the C&D from HTC, between the speed of Launcher Pro (not to mention the 2 extra launcher bars) and the customization of Beautiful Widgets you can't go wrong.
LPP! i love how fast it is and the widgets are amazing! the ability to also resize a widget on the fly is wondering
I tend to use Launcher Pro Plus more than ADW but both are excellent.
Used to go back and forth between these 2 before lpp. the widgets just put it a step ahead, 4 me. both are good though
Launcher Pro with translucent widgets is the best!
what do you all mean by "fast"?
like the scrolling speeds?

Yes that and opening speeds of the apparently drawer. U can customize the speeds via advanced options.

I like both adw and lp, but my experience has been that lp is alot smoother
lp for me is the best also ...... its fast is clean and its smooth i got the regular one not the paid one......
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I love LP but im using ADW now and i havent seen any slowdowns at all and i like the themes, maybe since its newer to me im digging it more now, i been using launcher pro since it first came out
yea both are great launchers and i have been using LPP since it came out too but lately ive been using ADW since it has many different themes and with the TeamSilence Iced Galcier Rom V1.0 and the Gr8Gorilla 1.7 Ghz OC, ADW doesnt lag at all... so it gives me speed and extreme customization too IMO... my suggestion is download both then see which one suits your needs...
+1 for LPP. I love the calendar widget and the dock with the glass background.
First time trying to use launcher pro, downloaded it from Market and can not find it any where. Went into my app drawer and t isn't there, checked settings ect. and isn't there either. What the heck am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Didn't think I was that much of a knuckle head but obviously I am.
Thanks,
Vinny

Click your home button. You should have an option to launch HTC Sense or Launcher Pro.
Click Launcher Pro and now you're using that as your home launcher. If you click on the Menu button from home, you'll now see a Preferences selection. That's how you can customize Launcher Pro.
If you decide you like it, when you click the home button, make sure you check the box to make it your default launcher.
Where I can find widgets for my phone? I am looking for differents clock.

Have you tried opening the Android Market and searching for clock widget? Last I checked there were hundreds of them.

I think HTC's clock/weather widget is by far the best, but for a good alternative, check out Beautiful Widgets in the Market.
Ok I will, didnt know the market have that, thank you for the post.

the only complaint about the stock one is after awhile it looks kinda plain... I love BW just for how much you can customize it, this is the 4th phone I have put it on
Here are some nice widgets to check out:
BattStatt - nonclock
Beautiful Widgets (well worth the money via the market)
Desktop Visualizer - nonclock
Extended Controls - nonclock
One Seven - day of the week
SwitchPro - nonclock
Tajm - text based clock
TypoGraph - text based clock
Not a widget per se, but I'm a new convert to LauncherPro as a substitute app launcher. Its truly awesome and highly customizable.
Let me know if you have any problems finding them.
Also try out Fancy Widget Pro. Best HTC clock replacement in my opinion.

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.

Figured out the same....adw doesn't like sense widgets for some reason.

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.
--> koxx3.wordpress.com/pure-widgets-descriptions/pure-grid-calendar
And a good alternative app to "Launcher Plus Pro" is "Go Launcher Ex" with Free widget like calendar, clock..
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.
Anyone recommend a good launcher with Sense caliber widgets? I am using Go right now and they have pretty impressive options, but I am not sure it's as good as others. I was using Launcher PRO PLUS and that has some pretty good widget support. My favorite launcher is ADW, but I cannot live without widgets.
In particular, the bookmarks and stock market widgets are the hardest to find.

well as far as launcher I do believe your stuck with GO or Launcherpro that has widgets however if you like ADW I would check out widgets called "android pro widgets" that I think would compliment ADW nicely...

edit: as far as a stock market widget i'm not sure, good luck on that one lol
Just unzip your Fav. Rom and add the apk file to the system apps then rezip it and flash like normal. This is what I do to add the radio to fresh roms

That will put an HTC widget that Flipz removed back in to Sense, but those widgets won't work with 3rd party launchers such as ADW.
Thanks though
