Hi is it possible to use htc widgets (such as contacts, music and clock) on alternative home screens? I love launcher pro, but i love htc widgets too... is there a way to import those widgets on those interfaces?
No. As simple as that.
Ouh
Are there similar widgets on the market?
Similar widgets (calendar, people, etc) come with the paid version of LauncherPro.

If you are looking for a similiar clock from sense, you could download the sense analog clock. It can display weather information too.

Is there way around loosing all of the HTC widgets when installing launcher pro.....namely the beautiful widget?
I have the beautiful widget .apk but I don't think it will work as well as the mt4g stock version.
Also, I had to un install launcher pro to go back to using the sense UI. I tried using home switcher without any luck.

I think the stock HTC widgets will not work as they require HTC framework and code in the Launcher to utilize it. i.e. you have to use Espresso Launcher for them to work.
As for installing and uninstalling Launcher Pro... I have no idea as I use ADW and can freely switch, although I never do.
Thanks.... wish the "faves" button and the "genious" button could be changed..... a side from those "features" I don't mind the sense UI.

If all else fails you can always clear defaults in settings.
Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> (find your current launcher) touch it -> press the "clear defaults" button
The above also works for your internet, messaging, etc

The old fancy widget looks exactly like the htc clock. That's why they had to change it. Its easy to find on the net.
Doesn't do the flipping action like the HTC one does. In fact, I believe only the newest versions of the HTC clock actually flip. I ran the HTC flip clock on my Desire ported ROM on the N1 and it didn't flip there either.
Thanks.
Not only does the newest HTC clock flip, when it rains a windshield wiper wipes your screen. When it's cloudy your screen clouds up. Pretty neat effects i thought.
I .got over it though. Ive had weatherbug elite for a while so im back to using it with launcher pro and aquarium live wallpaper.
I like a nice clean screen..... so those large iphone like icons combined with no customizable dock had to go.

Beautiful Widgets are the exact same thing. Clock and the Weather animation. Comes on everytime you unlock also.
The newest FancyWidget Pro is the closest thing I've found to replacing the HTC Clock Widget. FancyWidget Pro is awesome though! Super customizable and it can display the battery percentage right on the widget! I've switched to LPP and FW instead of mySense. Only thing LPP needs now is a News/RSS widget and it'll beat Sense hands down!
Aside from LP+
So I came accustomed to certain widgets from "Sense UI". What is a good widget to replace the contacts widget? I have been using a few different ones, but maybe there is one that I am not seeing...
Also what do you use for:
Calendar
Bookmarks
Friendstream
Any other cool widgets you wanna add...
I like photo contact widget. It looks good and works well. As for the others mentioned I bought LP plus and the widgets that come with it have replaced friend stream, bookmarks and calendar for me. I also use beautiful Widgets for clock, & weather. I also recommended purchasing LP icons and docks
If you are looking for widget outside of LP+ for friendstream and calendar then I recommend pure messenger and pure Cal both are very good.
I've never looked for an alternative For bookmarks so I don't know what out there for it.

I use GO Weather for the weather clock, and the Android built in for Calendar
"colorize widget" - seperate widgets for facebook, twitter, and people.
Better than sense for me.

Calender - LP Widget
Friendstream - Official Facebook & Twitter clients, I don't think any other widget/app is better than the official ones IMO.
Time & Date - Clockr Evolution
Battery - Battstatt pro
Weather - Beautiful Widgets
Streaming Media - Subsonic
So I wanted to create a list of widgets that look/function like the HTC Widgets..
Weather - Palmary Weather
http://www.appbrain.com/app/palmary-weather-pro/com.palmarysoft.customweatherpro
Clock - Fancy Widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidget.pro&feature=search_result
Calendar - Pure Grid Calendar
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar
http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze <-- Calendar reminders
Music - Player Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&feature=search_result
Contact/People Widget
http://www.appbrain.com/app/contact-widget/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
http://www.appbrain.com/app/contact-sidebar/albr.android.sidecallbar
http://www.appbrain.com/app/contacts-grid/com.billyfrancisco.contactsgrid
Facebook/Twitter/Friendstream/Contacts Widget (AIO)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/colorize-widget/com.snowbee.colorize
BookMark Widget
http://www.appbrain.com/app/visual-bookmarks/kent.android.imgbookmarks
Launcher Pro + has a lot of Sense-esque widgets built in.
It's not actually a widget, but what about the calendar reminders. I find that the stock reminder stinks...so I use Calendar Snooze. http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze
HELLZ YEAH !!!
This is a great source..
Thanks for this thread
STICKY PLEASE !! hahaha..
To the OP, please update the original post with all of the suggestions that are posted so that if this list grows to several pages, someone won't have to read through it all to see if it's already been suggested.
Thanks again.
Colorize widget - great replacement for Facebook/Friendstream and agenda calendar. You also have a contacts and messaging widget as well.

yes it does.. but I don't people to be limited to just Launcher Pro. This is more if people want a HTC look with say GO launcher, ADW, Zeam, etc...

see comment above! I don't want users to be limited to LauncherPRO when GOlauncher EX or ADW EX are worthy launchers..
would the colorize widget be scrollable on touchwiz or only for the previously mentioned launchers? ( I ask since touchwiz has other scrollable widgets.)
edit2: so i just tried to sign in with colorize and I got a suspicious activity alert, although i did get to play a fun guessing game at my friends photos to verify who i am.
edit: Also I just saw on appbrain the dev of visiual bookmarks also has visual contacts
Also if we are going for the look of sense the we need Fancy Widget v1.3 (picture) I can link it if it is not against the rules.
there a litrally no widgets in the rooted htc wildfire cm7 ,so is there any widgets that i can use it on my home screen,like calender mail etc
If you are looking at Sense Type Widgets, then you can take a look at Launcher Pro Plus (Paid), which has all the widgets you are looking for.
For the Clock, you can look at Fancy Widgets.

im not familiar with launcher pro so i cant dismiss 3xeno recommedation but i have found that colorize widgets give me all the widgets i need. calender,agenda,contacts,meggages,bookmarks,faceache (lol facebook),google reader and twitter.
I moved on to the JB ROM from the stock GB with Sense ROM and missing the Sense widgets for sure. Especially the 4x4 calendar widget and the 4x4 contacts widgets.
I tried various widgets from the Market (Jorte, Android Pro widgets etc) but none come close to the refinement we had in the Sense widgets.
Any suggestions on some good replacement options? I am looking for only 4x4 sized widgets that can be placed on the home screens (not the 4x1 smooth calendar type ones)
Ho.. i faced the sa me issue band about calendar at the end of day i chose Business Calendar Free.. it has a good level of customization band finally i found a solution.

GO Calendar Widget is pretty similar and could be a good replacement
Pure grid calendar is excellent. For contacts, I just add individual shortcuts on one of my home screens.

I Am missing the se se calendar also. Going to try these
