Just started running Neo's AOSP rom, loving it so far. The only thing I miss about Sense is some of the widgets. Is it possible to use sense widgets on a non sense rom?

No.
Edit: To further expound on that, you would need the Sense framework and Rosie (Sense launcher)

check this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732330 it has an exact clone of the Sense 4 Flip clock widget for other launchers (even works in AOSP)
+1 for Android Pro Widgets. Gives you a lot you may miss from Sense. Beautiful Widgets is good for the clock/weather widget we all know so well from Sense, but lately I've been using HD Widgets for the clock/weather, which I like a little better.

Anyone know if we can use the standard ICS gapps with AOKP/AOSP or if the rom dev has to supply them?

You can use standard on any. Neo provides some themed ones for his roms ,but they aren't necessary.
Neo has a download on his aosp and aokp roms for inverted gapps, and another flashable download to turn the inverted apps back to normal.

Royal Panache is one of the best new Glacier ROMs and I'd love to see some themes for it. When I was using Virtuous Fusion, I had a cool Desire HD theme that was all dark with glowing green accents. I'd love to see something like that, with a dark-themed Market and Gmail. Just no custom fonts like that DHD theme had. I'd I want fonts, I'll do them myself.

Use those, bunch of skins...
I'm really not sure what theme it was. I grabbed it from a link in the Virtuous Fusion thread without really paying any attention beyond the screenshots the guy posted and that he said it worked fine. Probably not the best policy now that I think about it.

Those skins just change the look of the launcher, though, right? I use ADW EX so that wouldn't do much for me.

The skins are for the sense launcher only...If you use ADW, why not use MIUI or AOSP instead? Those have a larger range of themes...But, yo ucan always google UOT Kitchen and use the online theme kitchen for the rom your using.
Good suggestion on the theme kitchen. I'll have to check that out.
As for using a sense ROM with ADW EX, I prefer that because of some of the underlying sense features and apps, particularly the camera and browser and contacts.

Im using he_stheone64 honey theme. I also got it from the desire hd forum. Nothing too crazy. Just some blue, few new icons and transperant pull down. Looks good and no issues.
Would be great though if some one made some specific for the glacier.

Is this possible? If it is not too much trouble I would love this and I am sure a few others would also. Thanks in advance, and even if you won't do it, maybe spread the word? Hope we can get this going!

It's possible to a certain extent. Many of the things like the dock are not able to be replicated.
Go check the ZR3D ROM thread. They have one there that looks nice.
As for a stock sense 4.0 clock appearance added to a normal skin that is really easy. Actually on my todo list

Don't care for the new dock, I prefer classic rosie. I love the pictures I saw, but I can't find the link for the apk. Is it baked into the ROM? Or am I a blind bat? LOL

So you want sense 3.0 Rosie, sense 4.0 clock... if I get bored later tonight I'll slap something together. Anything else like clear widget backgrounds maybe? (great for live wallpapers but bad for white backgrounds pictures)

Here is a stock skin (mostly) with clear widget backgrounds.
About the only difference is the sense 4.0 clock has a oval background just where is says the weather under the clock. Sooooo.....

For my part I'm on stock sense I find it's really not bad compared to LG or Motorola stock launchers. I still prefer the aosp one mostly because it's open source. I Love open source.

I don't troll, lol. I just gave my opinion that I like that one, . There was one of the guys/girls testing AOSP files on sense, they pulled them from the AOSP roms for the sensation, most seemed to work fine, so you could probably grab the AOSP launcher from that and give it a try, should work since I doubt it's name rosie.
Nova free with ICS theme by KovDev.

+1 for apex. used to use go launcher but found apex to be more minimalistic, smoother, and simpler.
Usually ICS stock... Works well enough, but still a battery hog.
Tried Apex, but didn't see a huge diffrence fron Go Launcher. I go back and forth, but usually stick with Sense.

Out if all the launchers I've tried on this phone and previous phones. My favorite was ADW EX. Since owning the Amaze I can't steer away from Sense. I like the widgets and things. I know its just personal preference but everytime I use other launchers I can't set up my screens like I do with Sense. Once we have AOSP or any CM then I will probably change it up. But until then I'm sticking with Sense

Good find, sounds good, but you're totally right.. it has to catch up to apex more before I could use it as my DD. I read feedback that widgets aren't able to resized.. such a simple feature that I can't/won't do without. But it sounds better than the JB launcher I did try that had no extra features at all!
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex

Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
