Samsung Widgets on Launcher Pro?

Any way to get Facebook updates widget on Launcher Pro?
Is there a good news widget? For news from like, engadget and gizmodo, etc.

There has to be some way to do this... I'm trying to find an alternative to the Facebook status streaming widget but I can't find a good one... I'm currently using Socialite from the LG Ally but it's not too good... Friend Stream would be nice. Or the Samsung one.

I'd like to know the same.

This question had been asked many times...the search function works miracles if you ever decide to use it. But to answer your question, no you cannot out the samsung widgets with any other launcher other than the tw launcher. I also don't think there's no way around this.

This has been asked several times. No you can't use TW Widgets on LP. What's wrong with the widget that comes with the Facebook app? Or you can use Pure Messenger widget.

Why not?

I use T-Mobile's Social Buzz app. It doesn't have a widget but the app is fast and works great. That might be something you would want to look in to.

Launcher Pro Plus has Friends widget,Facebook widget, messaging! Widgets and many more. That's what I'm using right now!
Killing Zombies with my Voodoo Vibrant!

The problem with LauncherPro is that it cannot use the TouchWiz Widgets. LauncherPro doesn't have enough Widgets itself to be useful to me (not saying it's useless to anyone else).
Plus the paid version can't be put in the market and probably wouldn't have carrier billing available for it.
But like I said, the Samsung Widget provides the same function of those others.

Where do I get the samsung eidgets from

Can you explain a little more? What are you looking for it to have?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Well at the bottom of the homescreen there is like a taskbar that has four apps . Gtalk, dialer, browser ,and email. I want to personalize the apps to stuff that I use more. Like market, sms, etc.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

To change the bottom dock you can download a different launcher from the market. I'd recommended Launcher Pro, or ADW. I personally recommend Launcher Pro. You can customize the homescreens and the dock itself.

Hey thanks, launcher pro did the trick! I wanted the 3d app drawer so that worked out very well!!

launcherpro plus
circle battery widget
minimalistic text widgets
launcherpro icons app
desktop visualizer
those are my mainstays for visual customizations. I also use the Minimal Magic theme with the theme chooser built into the CM7 roms.

I ended up using Adw ex, pure calendar, pure grid calendar, battstat pro, pure music player, fancy Widgets pro, SMS unread count, blue theme for cm7, and senses theme for cm7 and I'm pretty happy with it. I had beautiful Widgets before fancy Widgets but it seemed to have raped my battery so I switched

I gave it a trial run.. its kind of a memory hog and it also runs a little choppy but its not completely bad. Not sure how it will run if you're not overclocked.. it does look pretty good though. I ended up going back to Adw ex though

Sense based customizable (adw-launcher pro) launcher

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.

Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.

Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

GO Weather maybe?

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.

Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.

Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.
