I have apex launcher on my rezound and was wondering if there was any way to get the stock HTC widgets to work with it.. they don't even show up as options, I emailed the developer a week ago and didn't get an answer. Thanks for any help.
From my Rezound
Widgets only show up and can only be used on stock launcher.

Well that pretty much sucks
From my Rezound
The HTC widgets will not work with any launcher other than stock.

And there's no workaround to this? No mods we can make to the launcher and/or the widgets?
None that I have ever hear of... I think because its so intertwined it would take a ton of work and effort to make them standalone

You can get Beautiful Widgets from the market and download skins that replicate the famous HTC clock widget, if that's the one you wanted. Not sure how to replicate any of the other ones though.

Android pro widgets has some good comparable widgets.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576980 you can give this a shot. I don't think the animations work though.

Looking BW, it seems the current version is having some issues on the One X. I'll wait for those to be resolved first before downloading, but thanks for the tip!

So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

Yeah, seemed really boring. Just different docks, right? I think that's supposed to be part of the appeal but it wasn't for me.

If they do decide to include widgets to match the different docks, (sense, blur, touchwiz styled) then it'll be amazing.

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.
If someone wantexd to do that and include widgets, I don't see the harm.

Is there a way I can keep all the aspects of sense except the dock and home screens? I'm running Thunderstick 3D which I LOVE! I was running CM7 with Go Launcher and I guess the ability to add home screens and the multiple docks spoiled me. Is there a ROM out that is like this or a MOD? Or any type of trick I can use to easily tweak this?
You can install any alternate home launcher or dock on any sense rom. Just download and install from the market.

I want to replace the sense dock at the bottom of the screen, all I see are replacements for launcher docks or pop-up docks....
Oh, i see. Have you checked the mods section? Might be something in there.

Launcher Pro will replace all the sense stuff...right? I've looked in MODs and have only found different looking versions of the sense app docks. They all still have just the three "buttons".

Oops meant to press quote, but you could try using the stock HC launcher. I like that the best out of all the ones I've tried

I think he meant the stock honeycomb launcher, not the stock htc launcher. The stock honeycomb launcher does not have wasted space, the other two I'm not sure about.
Ah yeah I saw a "t" in there that wasn't there lol. Yeah I saw the team syndicate one and I tried it out, only problem is it was kinda designed for gb and froyo so it has a virtual notification bar that can't be disabled... However that was the free version it might be able to be disabled on the paid I dunno. Anywhere on XDA I could just grab the apk for the actual stock launcher and install it?

It's in my ROM. If you don't want to download the whole thing for the launcher i could just link it to you
Yeah I might eventually go custom rom, I've had plenty of experience with my captivate , but for now I think I'm just going to stay stock for the time being with the flyer, so if you want to link it thats cool. Thanks!

GO Launcher EX is good. Has lots of features that most Launchers don't
But I always miss the glorious sense widgets that you cannot get any where else.
Honestly I've warmed up to the sense launcher a bit. Its basic and bare but the cool animations and awesome sense widgets make it worth using. As far as real estate, Go launcher HD had the issue too, just seems to be a honeycomb thing so whatever really. Think I'll just stick with Sense for now!
yea go launcher HD (beta) is a nice alternative to the stock or htc launchers for sure. just started using it today and really like the folder support
it's not on the market u'll have to search around for it
Yeah I found it from a google search, had a download link,and thats how I got it
Yeah I tried Go Launcher HD and it certainly a beta. Need lots of work.

the stock launcher is pretty bland, I would highly recommend Go Launcher EX or ADW over that if you want a different launcher.

I use this one, it doesn't run sense widgets, but runs great and looks awesome. I even put it on my phone.
Sale on Beautiful Widgets, if you are an AOSP or non-Sense user I'd really recommend this widget app. Just passing along the news.

I own both BW and HD Widgets, and I prefer BW. I use Nova Launcher and only have three home screens. I like a minimalist setup so I only use the BW Superclock so BW is my app of choice.

My favorite is savory gizzards. Sometimes its free when u pick em out the dumpster.
Personally I prefer the HD weather forecast.
BW let's you change font colors for the weather but I still prefer HD's just for the forecast. I wish HD would incorporate font color changes.

I was wandering if there is a way to make a hybrid rom or if a dev would be willing to try to make one. I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

The one Sense 4+ widget I don't miss is FriendStream. I know some don't like the fact that it isn't removable from the homescreen, but BlinkFeed beats FriendStream by a country mile.
I love blinkfeed.

Blinkfeed is great if your into the whole "social" thing but what if your not? Sense 4 for me right now is were I'm at. Maybe Sense 5.1 will bring back some of the widgets I want. Also blinkfeed would be better if it had like emails and messages like windows phone. Its really just a fancy RSS reader.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.
