ADW Launcher Q - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a sense theme installed through ADW launcher but it does not allow me to set the sense click as a widget, it doesn't let me do that with any theme as the matter of fact... Is that something that adw doesn't let you do? Or can I fix it and have the original sense click with boot screen animation working? I like to use the theme but I want that damn clock too... Any suggestions? I'm running royal glacier 1.2
Much appreciated. Thanx

When you install any aftermarket launcher, you will lose the sense widgets. You can use beautiful widgets as an alternative. If you want the one that looks closes to stock, search for fancy widgets. It looks exaclty w/o the screen animation.

HTC sense widgets

I was wondering is there is any way to use adw launcher and still use the sense widgets.
Thank you

There is no way to use Sense Widgets with ADW or any other launcher

Is it possible to use the HTC calendar widget with ADW

Why can't the HTC widgets (calendar) be used with ADW? I'm not a huge fan of sense but I am a huge fan of the HTC calendar widget.
Does anyone know why the HTC calendar widget cant be used with ADW or is it possible to get the apk? I like the ADW launcher the most but would like to have the HTC widget does any one know if this is possible.
HTC widgets are tied to Sense, can't be done. Get LauncherPro he has sense-like widgets

Adw doesn't support it...and HTC doesn't want its widgets used with anything other than Sense....I would suggest using Launcher Pro Plus....they have widgets just like the Sense ones.....

Thanks for the info.
There is an app called smooth Calender in the market. It is pretty much identical to the HTC calendar. Widget. And it is customizable.

I'm looking to do the same thing. I would like to see if the windget apk's can be pulled with adb from the stock ROM. Is this a possible way toi get HTC widgets?

Everything "Sense" is tied into the sense framework and isn't usable in a rom that is not sense based. Widgets, apps, etc.
I like the jorte calendar over the sense one. Might give it a view.

[Q] Launcher questions...

I am trying to settle on a launcher to use with CM7. So far this is what I see.
ADW is nice but a bit laggy at times.
Zeam super fast but I cannot see how to change icons for apps.
Gingerbread launcher, can't customize the launcher or number of screens. 5 is default but I only need 3.
Thanks,
RA

Just tried Launcher Pro... pretty nice and VERY customizable. I am going to give it a few days and see if it can become my standard. Thanks for the tip. I saw a lot of people using it but REALLY wanted Zeam to work. Oh well, Android certainly does give plenty of choices.

Personally i am HUGE fan of AWDLauncher EX. I've used Zeam, LP and AWDEX and out of the three i like EX the best. Way more options than Launcher pro.

I really liked AWD but like I stated it was a bit laggy at times. I am finding launcher pro VERY smooth and also pretty configurable.

Thanks for the props. ADW is complete different than EX when it comes to speed.

Launcher pro and go launcher ex. They are the best. I switch between them frequntly because I love them so much I can't get enough of either one. Try out go launcher ex. You will be surprised.

No problems mate but to be honest why launcherpro beats adw its because launcherpro is very simple basic made not like adw too much useless tweaks if you want to try out spb mobile shell leave me a pm ill send you a vid that does a demo of the home launcher and step by step how to install the launcher

I lime adw ex. I have tried launcher pro(paid version) and it didn't seem as polished as adw. The transitions are far superior than in lp. They are smoother. I keep coming back to adw

I am using launcher pro and it works great. I love the facebook widget a lot.
Launcherpro paid version offers very smooth and sexy widgets that adw doesnt + you can resize any widget easily and as desired
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Imho, adw has become too bloated with customizations and tweaks. Too many choices makes a headache for me. Launcher pro is a bit smoother, just as tweakable without as many settings, a bit more straight forward, and has nice htc-like widgets. I like the sliding dock with custom dock skins too compared to the pop-up dock bar in adw.

I rocked launcher pro for a while but wana give adw a chance .....u know change things up ........but launcher pro IMO is prob better .......

You can resize stuff with AWD.
And for one who doesn't use Facebook nor twitter launcher pro calendar widget is rather plain looking

U will loose htc sense widgets whenever u use custom launchers. It is up to u to loose the htc widgets at the cost of using custom launchers for the performance boost.
But there are ways to have those widgets. For example launcher pro full version has almost same htc widgets.
And if u search the market or google for the widgets u need, u will mostly find all the things. So, try searching.

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.
The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.
I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it

The Holo Launcher is very ICS.
