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.

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.

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.

Are you on cm6? sense?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Install LauncherPro. It is a home replacement that is a substitute for sense. With it you will be able to adjust how many homescreens you want.
Will installing that kill my HTC Sense?
is there a way to do this on cm6 with adw?

it will not. it should be pretty easy to switch back to sense if you don't like how things are looking with launcherpro. Chances are, you'll never look back.

It wont kill the Sense integration with the phone, but it will kill the Sense widgets.

great thanks
Thank you. I like launcher pro and the only widget I liked was that clock with the weather. But love having fewer screens, thanks again.

no problem man.
yea i know what you mean about missing the htc widgets, my gf felt the same thing about her aria too, until i set up her phone to look like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9353039&postcount=205
she really like it and didn't even think about weather anymore lol
if you really want that sense look, there are other widgets that can replicate the same thing... search for fancy widgets. BeautifulWidgets is also a good alternative.

that's what i did last night. installed LP over HTC Sense 2.2 Froyo. reduced the number of screens and i like LP because they add unread email notifications over the gmail app icon. it's cleaner and customizable.
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android world, and I know dhd runs on sense, so what would running something like launcherpro do? Is sense removed or is it just running in the background? Oh and must I root? sorry if I sound so noob :X
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
launcher pro is excellent, the best and smoothest android launcher, but has an initial learning curve
It doesn't need root, you can install it and make it the default launcher then restart your phone, once you do the sense launcher will not be loaded neither will the widgets.
but the framework of sense like gallery and mail for example will still be there, which is really a good thing since they are a lot better than stock android apps
No need to root and sense will still be there if you uninstall Launcher Pro..
You may want to look at my thread which is useful, it gives you custom icons and 100's of docks to use..
Its in the apps and themes forum..
I couldn't be without the scrollable dock now..
Ooo! Thanks basically, I install launcher pro, restart phone, and get a 'blank' home page?
What does launcher pro replace then, the 7 home screens? Does the keyboard change?
Will running launcherpro mean more artery consumption? And what do you mean by dock? Oh and, apps, accoubts, calendars all that still remain the same.right? I'll try to search for your thread thanks!
I love this forum thanks so much for bringing this new android user so much advice xD much is appreciated

LauncherPro is a great launcher.
Unlike Sense UI where it drains lots of battery power.
so if i just use it, without rooting, will battery life be drained very dramatically? sense UI doesnt suck battery in the background right?
Linked contacts all those will be gone i presume? if i use launcher pro
Okay, I just downloaded launcherpro free, any way for me to get more widgets,like a clock?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Your best bet is to go to applications in settings then find htc sense. Click on it and select force stop, that will clear the defaults. Then press your home button and tick always choose this option and click on launcher pro. No reboot required

thanks~ now fiddling around with launcher pro, but is there any guide to make my notification bar like the stock one, which is white? or any tips on getting widgets?
I thought beautiful widgets had loads of widgets -_- i bought, and didnt know only is weather. too late to refund ~_~
oh does using launcher pro increase the battery usage? because is the htc sense UI some how running in the background?
I love launcher pro, but I keep getting prompts to set my default home when I use widgetlocker

Using launcher pro has approximately doubled my battery life. I was getting only 2 - 6 hours out of a charge before now 5 - 12. All the things that were burning juice like maps sync, freindstream just dont run constantly anymore.

Notification bar - switch back to HTC Sense, find a theme which has a white top bar, switch to that theme in HTC Sense and then go back to your launcher. You will still get the status bar at the top and lock screen according to your HTC Sense theme settings.
Widgets - well, i think best would be for you to look at this forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
and especially these two themes :

To your other questions - alternative launchers replace just your home, that means the main screens + application list. The rest still runs like if you had HTC Sense home.

Select your home in settings of WidgetLocker (Settings>Behavior>Select System Home or HomeHelper's Launcher, depends if you use HomeHelper or not).
I have a HTC Desire and I recently installed a Gingerbread ROM with Oxygen, and I really miss the HTC flavour. Is there any way I could have HTC Sense or at least the stock apps back on this rom?
P.S.: I hope that I didn't post in the wrong place...
The gingerbread Rom is an ASOP Rom, sense programs will not runn as they need the associated HTC files also, if you run a sense Rom with another launcher over it you will see the programs will run but the widgets won't load, again they will only work with the sense launcher. You can get apps that replicate the look. Get Beautiful/fancy widgets for the clock, but the best is to get launcher pro and pay for the extra, the widgets are very similar

I feel ya bro. Get fancy widget to hold you over till its Ported.

I found those apps in a rom, and as you said, it ain't work... It doesn't even install, only the camera app which crashes.. I wanted HTC Music back, but, fortunately, I found the Honeycomb leaked Music app, so it's cool.

The Sense contact app won't work. Try SyncMyPix from the Android Market insread. Perhaps it can help.

Def try using launcher pro plus. the dev made widgets specially to look like the htc sense widgets. they're pretty good

Hello guyz.
Is there any widget app similar to this in play store ? (See the pic)
Stock htc sense rom has this. But the problem is that it only works on sense launcher not any other.
Or is there any way i can make it compatible so that i can use it on other launchers such as launcher pro, adw launcher, nova launcher etc.
How can i get the widget apk file ?

Thanks for the reply.
I've used many apps similar to this but none is as good as htc tasks.
There must be a way to some sort of crack it and use this in other roms.
