Judging from the comment I highlighted in bold by you; I'll presume you're running a Vanilla ROM. Meaning, you have none of the HTC stuff; no Roise, no widgets, etc.
Actually, what ROM are you running?
Theres always beautiful widgets but I don't think they look all that great.

If you're using SushiROM, like I suggested in an earlier thread you started, you've got a ROM that has stripped sense out. The HTC Widgets rely on sense.
Personally, I hate Sense. It's slow and clunky and just not that amazing. But that's my opinion.
As someone stated above, Beautiful widgets is great. I use it. I think it's, like, $2 on the market. The PureWidgets series is great, too. They're another paid widget, but I use the weather and grid calendar widgets. They work great!
I hope this helps
EDIT:
I did some searching, and I came up with this:
http://slideme.org/application/wf-clock-widget
It looks a lot like the HTC Clock widget, so it might work. It's free, too. I've never tried it, so for all I know, it could be buggy as hell or not even work at all... but, hey... it's a start
The only reason I am sticking with sense is for the People, Music and Mail widgets, does anyone know if there are similar non-sense widgets. The only mail widgets I found on the market had bad ratings, so I didnt try them.

People works fine without sense. I use it.
The AOSP music app is pretty top-notch. I've never tried it, but there are a lot of people who like Mixzer (I think that's what it's called)
And I use Gmail, and the amazing Gmail app, so I can't really help you on the mail app. Sorry.
There is no people widget outside of Sense. I have found some alternatives for the others, going to give them a try for a while. Will post what I find works/looks best. Using Launcher 2...
My HTC Widgets Disappeared
I just installed freshtoast v2.0 (the one released to donaters on 5/9/10), and now all my HTC widgets have disappeared. No clock, no calendar, etc. Is there a way to get them back? I really don't want to wipe. I would much prefer an .apk or some other means of pushing them to the phone. Any suggestions?
Hey I just got my Vibrant and love it but they excluded almost all the standard Android Widgets. Is there any way to get those or even better HTC widgets Like Clock, Calender, Music, RSS News, anything? And yes I'm rooted and ready to go.
The simple answer is no. The complicated answer is you can get a lot of widgets that look/work just like the HTC ones.
Here is a similar topic on this issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708127&highlight=beautiful+widget
P.S. Without doing all the work for you I will say "Pure" calendar is 10x better than the HTC one.
I am pretty sure someone will find a way to put Sense on it.
i really hope so =)
Who wouldn't wanna have the HTC weather widget on their A500's?
I mean m-deejay ported alot of different Roms why wouldn't it be possible to port or mod the HTC weather widget to our iconias? As an app or whatever.
Honestly that's the only thing I like about HTC...
The old version of the app prior to HTC pulling it from the market still works fairly well. I only have problems with GPS updates. The name of the app is Fancy Widget now named Fancy Widgets. The free versions of the both Widgets work well. No porting needed. If you want the skin from HTC's version, you have to buy the pro version.

With alll respect but for me that app just doesnt cut it. I think its not even in HTCs weather widgets shadow, I hate it in fact, i prefer Beuatiful widgets but that is still also pretty faraway from the HTC. Some russsian dude made it available for free for a Windows owners which is pretty cool! It flips beautifully and everytihng.
Here is the link: http://www.htchome.org/en/downloads/
Its really nice and accurate, im having trouble installing it on my XP right now but on Win 7 it works perfectly.
Cheers!

yeah, at this point the closest we have is beautiful widgets (I use the lite vers).
It's not bad, looks good and reasonably customizable.
I think the problem with "porting" such a program is that it is included in the Sense launcher, so I don't think you can just use it unless we use Sense as the launcher. Correct me if I am wrong, but no HC tablet currently uses Sense, and it will likely stay that way until HTC updates the Flyer to HC.
I don't know if ICS or JB with Sense will ever come to the DHD. But the reason I have never stuck with another ROM other than Android Revolution HD is because I end up missing Sense.
When people do change to a non-Sense ROM (haha, nonsense), what are you using for:
Friendstream alternative. With FS, I get both my twitter and FB feeds in one convenient widget. And I like how when a tweet has a link, if I click on the tweet, I can read the tweet and link all within FS. I don't get that with Android Pro Widget or Launcher Pro widget.
Calendar. The HTC calendar is so clean looking. I like the monthly view on a whole screen.
SMS. I know there are alternatives but many look so cartoony, not the clean interface of the HTC version.
But probably Friendstream is the big one. What are people doing?
Thanks.

DHD will be getting official ICS before the end of August
Good to see you're ditching Sense (less eyecandy: more RAM free & better performance), not sure if we have something like FS, maybe rip it from a sense ROM and install it?

How to get a Friendstream apk? Would that install on any rooted phone?
Also, I forgot to mention a key app. Mail. The mail interface on Sense is nice and clean. On some of these other apps, like K-9, it's not as nice looking. Also, I need features like auto-BCC all emails. And what I like about Sense Mail is I have two mail accounts, one Yahoo, one POP, and both homescreen icons actually tell me how many new mails there are. What's the mail app everyone is using when they switch away from Sense?

You can't. FS requires a Sense framework to run at all. If it were that easy, someone would've done it already.

Oh yeah, forgot that you need the framework *Facepalm*
Maybe (seriously doubt I'd ever happpen though, don't think its even possible) CM7 with Sense framework?

I know what you mean about Sense. I have tried as well and always came back to Sense..
A replacement for Friendstream.. Here are a couple:
- Seesmic (Facebook and Twitter)
- Multipost ( but I think Facebook doesn't work)
- HootSuite
- Tweetdeck

Yup - FS is hard to do without. However... check out APW widgets. The pro version has a friendstream widget which is a perfect replacement. The non-pro you have to have separate twitter and facebook. The calendar widget is also the best sense replacement I have found.
I'd stick with sense, but have a DZ so sense eats up too much RAM.
What I miss most in non-Sense roms is actually the camera. I tried and bought several other camera apps (360 camera, Zoom FX), but none seem as fast or polished as the Sense camera app. Especially with regard to focussing. It autofocusses on faces or otherwise just in the center, but you can always overrule it with tap-to-focus. I haven't found this in any other camera (yet?)
perhaps its just that I have become accustomed to that camera app.
for me, that is the only app that keeps dragging me back to sense roms.

Never ever Sense
everything else is better than sense.
but the best is an stock android so like google thought it should be.
I like some things about sense and have had my days where I missed it a little. But IMO after I used jelly bean its pure Google for me from now on. Thanks for the alternatives!

Try Android Pro Widgets. Works for me like a charm....

*Sigh* yes it is unique.... at least.
Did i miss it the last 18 months? .... This gonna be a hard decissi..... Nope!
Miui has nice style and good cam, too and runs like a kitten on crack :cyclops:
Even though,in my opinion, Miui is no competition to latest ics/jellybean vanilla feeling.
I like Sense for Calendar, Mail, and (mosttly) intuitive dialler. Maybe except mail, no replacements. Therefore, Sense ROMs.
Every time I try switching I keep coming back. The simple Email icons for my two email addresses, it shows the number of NEW messages. I tried Kaiten Mail and the ugly mail icon (looks like a fire hydrant), shows UNREAD messages. The problem with Unread messages is that for my POP email address, I read on my computer, or my phone. So my POP email on my phone is basically all Unread. So the icon shows me 99 Unread all the time. Useless. I just want to see NEW messages, and that's what my simple Sense 3.5 does. Sense is just better.
For Friendstream, if I click a tweet with a link to an article, the article opens up in Friendstream. With other apps like Android Pro Widgets, you have to click the link to the article and open up your browser. Grrrrrr.
