HTC Clock Widget

Sorry if this has been asked before I tried looking through topics but didn't see anything about this.
Basically I want to know if its possible to enable the HTC clock widget that comes on the incredible in other themes. I have an incredible and I love the clock but dislike the rest of the UI. I want to use other themes but when I try it takes away the option to use that clock. Is there some way to enable it when I use other themes ? Will I have to root it or something like that? I was hoping I could download it somehow and add it as a widget to use on other themes. As I'm almost done with this I realize I dont mean themes I mean home screens.
I appreciate the help.

Perhaps I am not understanding your question, but the way you add the clock to another theme is to press the + sign next to the phone button at the bottom of the screen, then go to Widget, and then down to Clock. I think it is clock #3.

Im referring to applications that remove senseUI and give you back the default android OS, like LauncherPro

User fancy widgets it is the same thing.... Google it

[Q] Can you name these widgets & launcher??

I seen someone post these screen shots and I am very curious of what everything is. I am not sure if they are themed or market widgets. I like the launcher too.
Can anyone put a name to what any of these are? I would definitely like to try them out. Thanks.

The launcher is launcher pro with an icon pack

that looks really cool, I might look into launcher pro.

Thanks. I am already using LauncherPro Plus, and now I have yet another reason to love it even more.

What's the icon pack and where do I get it?

the widgets aren't part of launcher pro, as far as I know. For the clock, I think it's SiMi Clock widget for the one on the right. I'm not sure if it's also the one on the left

The battery ne is circle battery widget that is free from the market, the weather looks lke beautiful widgets which is a paid app

Picture 1:
- Launcher: Probably Launcher Pro
- Battery: Not sure
- Weather: I'm guessing Simi Clock Widget (with the weather on) resized
- Date: Not sure
- Clock: Simi Clock Widget (with the weather off)
Picture 2:
- Launcher: Probably Launcher Pro/Plus
- Weather: Beautiful Widgets with Tick skin
- Clock: Simi Clock Widget (with the weather off)
- News Widget: Genie Widget (But not the default. Looks like a modded version to me)

The battery widget is called "circle battery widget" by cedric depoortere

You hit it right on the head! You extend the lines by using LauncherPro's resizing handles. Customization at its finest.... Thanks!!!

Wow I really like these too, I think I'll spend the evening trying to get my homescreen to look like this. Is that really the Dreamlyfe pack?

No I just really wanted to know what those icons were. I experimented with a launcher a long time ago on my mytouch and I hated how it looked and how it slowed my phone so I just had never tried one again but jeez that picture is just exactly the clean look I've been craving for my phone. I like the stock launcherpro icons but I am the kind of person who likes (free, not warez just free) options.

Yea, I definitely had it looking close. That Simi widget is a mystery. I am not sure how he got that horizontal like working in there like that. For the longer vertical line tho, just use LauncherPro's resizing and stretching it downward.

Take a look at clockR in the market
Also these

Anyone know a good place to find free icons for launcher pro? I like the ones in the picture but I'm a broke college student. Not looking for cracks or anything like that just want some place to get some free opensource .pngs =)

If for personal use, (and if rooted) you can always download adw icon packs (tons of free ones on market), go to root explorer, find the apk it installed to your data/app folder, copy it to your SDcard. (This is easier to do on ur computer). Open up the apk with 7zip, find the folder with the pngs and copy them to a folder. I keep an "Icons" folder on my sdcard containing folders with various icon packs, for ex. Then it's easy to browse and assign them as you please (as custom icons).
There's also a paid app called launcherpro icons that does a lot of the work for u.. all launcherpro themed. They also have a website (community contributed) u can just grab em off and copy to your sd- nice launcherpro docks too.

Ahh, one more thing, you guys should check out a widget called minimalist text on the market (i think an xda dev). It's super clean, and he's been refining it like crazy. Ultra customizable.

A few android question

Hi,
I've been with WinMo since 2001 until about a week ago when I switched to andriod. I have many questions and was unsure where to turn to. I will try here. If there is a better place, please let me know.
I have a Desire Z that I got with ATT 3G bands. I have successfully rooted the device, overclocked it, and installed Cyanogen 6.
1) When I hit the power button, I still have to swipe my finger across the screen to unlock. How do I make it so I don't have to do this?
2) I had some difficulty upgrading to Cyanogen 6 and was unable to get 7 to work. IfI want to mess around further with roms, is there some way I can backup EVERYTHING so if I screw up, I can make my phone exactly the way I have it now without a whole lot of work re-installing stuff, etc.?
3) The link to the phone, app, and browser are all stuck on the bottom of the phone. Can I get rid of this?
4) When laying apps out on the home screen, there seems to be some kind of grid that they are locked into that makes it hard to move them exactly where I want them. It will let me lay them so they overlap each other, but not very close to each other. Is there some way to overcome this?
5) I can't seem to arrange apps close to the top of the screen because the garbage can overlay slides down and when I move the app near the top it thinks I am trying to throw it away.
6) Is there an app that will show both the current weather and an icon for the weather conditions in the status bar?

Wow, a lot of questions...
1, Go to Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Input Settings and select Trackball wake/Trackball Unlock or Menu Unlock and after that you will be able to select Disable Unlock Slider
2, Try Titanium Backup (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup)
3, As far as I know CM6 uses ADW.Launcher as default launcher. You can change it to LauncherPro (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher) which is fully customisable
4, There is a grid which can't be changed
5, LauncherPro has the trash icon at the bottom
6, Sorry, I didn't find any

Hello Everyone.
I went and found some of these answers on my own. I also was able to upgrade to CM7.
1) I found an app for it but will try PsHeger's solution.
2) I found that the bootloader/Rom manager do a good job of this, too.
3) I was able to remove it in the app launcher rather than using pro.
4) This absolutely pisses me off. I have a Winmo 6.5 phone that lets me have a nice, organized home screen. I can't believe there isn't a better solution to this. Good lord.
6) Go Weather App does this.

if you set your grid settings to 10x10 rows and columns in launcher pro, you can put the icons and widgets pretty much anywhere.

You can try this, but you will need to buy a pro key for laincherpro to strech the widgets or they will look really stuid

I found that the auto stretch check box pretty much solved the problem with layout.

[Q] Is there a way to extend the # of screens

I was wondering if it was possible to extend the # of screens to display more icons.
Other option would be to create folders but is doesn't seems to be possible with Honeycomb, am i wrong?

Good stuff here. I remember seeing versions of Android with 7 screens...

you can install an 3rd party home screen app such as Launcher Pro. It allows you to fully customise your homescreens and add a lot of eye candy. Haven't tried it out on Honeycomb but I've used it on my Xperia X10.

I was more thinking about a native solution but i will try Launcher Pro.
Thanks

Circle Laucher
I use Circle Launcher Light. Its a widget that adds a circle icon on the home screen. You can configure it to display any number of app icons when pressed. You just select which app you want to launch. You can also display a name on the screen circles. I have one set up for each type of family of apps I use. Dor example "Games", "Media", "Readers", etc. I like it. Its free in market.

Tried to download ADW.Launcher from the market without success. Seems to be restricted to non honeycomb systems by google.
If someone can provide an alternate link for the free version, it would be more than appretiate.

+1 for circle launcher! A perfect for honeycomb and a 10 inch screen. My setup is similar and allows two click access to every app I use. The widget displays nearly instantly.

You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it

Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate

This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.

Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).

Good app,desktop visualization shame it cant replace apps stock icon

Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.

I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.
Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!

I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.
I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example
Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'

One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.
