Database Users

did anyone else miss this??

Had my aria for a month now and never recognized this...
On your homescreen click to add a widget to it. Now look at the top of the list..
You can download additional HTC widgets not listed. There's a battery widget that shows percentage and,takes you to battery info when you click on it. Along with a dozen other widgets. Apparently its a list that gets updated at HTC's choosing.
Clicking menu gives refresh list and setting options
Damn I love HTC

Yeah, I discovered this a while ago.
Still a nice surprise--I was particularly delighted to find a Profile widget, which I felt was one of the things that was missing from the phone. Sure beats long pressing the power key to switch profiles.

Just as a note, this only works with the Sense UI. Or, at the very least, the option is not there with Launcher Pro.

Noticed it first day and had battery widget but it lacks the functionality of the battery widget by geekyouup free in the market.
Nice that HTC is thinking of its users though!

Cool thanks didn't even notice it!

Thanks! I had not noticed it.

Awesome find I never noticed that now I know 4 people with the aria and all of us are missing the outer camera lens that keeps stuff out of the camera hole, has anyone noticed this? The att store demo phone is missing it as well

The notepad/post-it widget is really good. I definitely suggest it. I use it everyday for quick notes and as a To Do list. Best of all it sets on your screen and gives you 10 pages you can flip through.

Thanks, I'd missed that, good call.
I like how the notes app will let you draw on the screen, nice touch.

dam i missed this on my GF's aria haha

I found that juss from being bored and digging around in my fone Lol

Screenshots please!
Someone post some screenies please.

Just for peoples information this is a nice android over lay however on our hd2 the android widgets don't actually fit properly on the screen so its pretty unusable,i hope someone fixes this. Worth the download tho just so yall can see what its like!
EDIT: I just realized its not that our widgets are mis aligned and therefore don't fit, its that whilst using touch wiz launcher our android widgets seem to be slightly bigger then they should be....very strange. I wonder if someone with the technical know how could take a look into this because its a nice overlay, I love the simplicity of it and would be great to have fully functioning. But for me nothing beats htc sense so not too bothered

Tips & Tricks: Replacing Sense with CM7

I think not only I would appreciate tips how to replace Sense with CM7 with the same functionality.

If you want app suggestions.
Syncmypix for facebook image sync to contacts.
Pure messenger widget to replace friendstream.
Dialer one or go dialer for dial pad quick dial of contacts.

I'd say Launcher pro plus, as close as you'll get to Sense but with the upside of fully resizable widgets and other fantastic stuff like an SMS widget that lets you preview your texts at a glance.

I find Go Launcher much smoother. I still have my Launcher pro licence, but its completely uninstalled from my device. Plus its still updated.

go for android make message widgets fb/twitter widgets calendar clock contacts task manager and so on just like LP+ but without having to pay for them... bonus.

I actually did replace a sense 2.1-3.0 mix rom with the latest cm7 nightly just yesterday and I have to say that it's awesome!! i found my way with GO launcher ex which has now a lot of widgets, such as contacts, calendar (both beautiful), facebook and twitter as well... the clock/weather widget is provided by GO weather (with LG skin!!).
I also installed an awesome theme for go launcher, which is RetroPlus..
it is amazing how smooth my desire is now!!
and that new rings lockscreen is just spectacular!!

Huh? Is this a new feature for CM7?

What about a good keyboard replacement? I hate the stock keyboard and love the HTC one.

SwiftKey X is pretty good...
And the biggest tip is: Just go CM7. You wont ever go back.
I was really attached to Sense. Now it gives me the chills. lol

I've gotta say that i would agree with you but there are a few things that are not as good as sense in CM7, such as the camera and Facebook intergration. I think if those 2 were resolved then I'd go back to CM7..

Like rootSU I've a paid copy of Launcher Pro Plus, but after switching to Go Launcher Ex I'm finding it a lot better.
Best keyboard imho is Swype.

Same here! Go EX has been smoother and widgets are not bad at all.

+1 on SwiftKey. I find both of the launchers very smooth, but you must set memory preset to 'light' in LPP. After doing so I couldn't make it lag with helicopter view again, even with all 5 screens loaded with widgets. I used my widgets and LPP on top of the Sense roms for 6 months or so.

Alternate dialers have no permission to clear notifications on 2.3.

Here you go. the "only" true sense-like launcher:
http://lpsense.allo-mobile.fr/lp-sense-ui-download-is-here/
+ sense widget pack for this launcher
+ Fancy Widget clock (h7C)
+ Widget Locker (with sense theme)
+ dialer one
+ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459 (for t-mobile Theme Chooser)
DONE

Level up turned Beautiful Widgets into Ugly Widgets? Any alternatives?

Hey all,
So seeing as level up have ruined beautiful widgets, does anyone know of any good alternatives?
Most if not all of the clocks and weather themes I used are gone, and the clocks are low rez, lose time,
and the Home weather widget is gone. The weather part of the app is ugly and poorly designed now too.
So i'm trying to find some clock widgets to replace it as I am furious they took an app I loved and replaced it with
an abomination lol.
Cheers.

I actually prefer the new version of BW. Using the HTC One X theme found on the theme market
But I see that HD Widgets is pretty up there in popularity. Not a fan of it though.

Thanks I will take a look. More than anything I need one that keeps time, which this one it seems still doesn't
I am annoyed because almost all the themes left for the clocks are exactly the same, all the home weather one's I liked, unless i'm not looking properly like angry birds, are gone, and the app is now slow and laggy.
Guess it's all down to personal preference but I just wish they would offer the old version.

HD Widgets looks excellent I might have to give it a go. Although I'm reluctant to give another Dev my cash, they
are editors choice on the play market, and I guess I could backup the .apk in case it is updated in future
Cheers.

Hit the thanks button if I helped I bought BW when it was on sale so I'm not too crazed about it, idk I like the improvement of BW 5.0 doesnt feel laggy at all, especially not on the N4.

I have both HD Widgets and Beautiful Widgets. There are a lot more style choices in HD Widgets. HD Widgets also allows you to customize the look of the widget more than BW.

I used The 4x1 Weather widget in Beautiful widgets with the SimpleSolid skin. But when the 5.0 update came, it made the icons in the widget bigger and due to that they don't fit into the 4x1 space properly anymore. Parts of the images get cut off because they extend outside the widget boundaries.
I had to switch to another skin that uses much smaller icons but I really liked the SimpleSolid skin and will probably explore alternative widget options.

I have both and I prefer HD widgets because I don't have to search for widget themes as you can edit the widgets through the app and HD widgets has switches that I use a lot.

Sense 5

Hello all... I was trying to find if such topic has been presented before.
What is your expectations for Sense 5 as software and inhancements? For me, I wish they consider the following from my experience in HOX+:
- Gmail in mail application: I like to use Gmail in HTC mail app (imap) instead of Gmail official app. However, there is no star option for a message. Hope HTC is fixing this in Sense 5.
- Although I like HTC notes and HTC tasks apps, I wish they will allow to disable it if I want to use different apps. In HOX+ they prevented disabling them as they are connected to calendar and other messaging system. Also, the evernote merging in HTC note app isn't complete and it misses tags.
- I hope they can now provide an option to choose what info I can sync from Facebook (pics, contacts, ...)
- Movie Editor doesn't have a link in gallery app.
- Flickr merging (I like it of course) isn't complete and miss a lot of features. They either make it complete or allow us to disable it if I want to use different client.
- I like the way of Linkedin are being sync into contacts but it doesn't allow to open Linkedin contact link in the official app as it does in Facebook
- Stocks market by HTC & Yahoo doesn't support all market. So, another app is needed. I hope it's been fixed in Sense 5 or being able to be disabled too.

SenseTV, boomsound, Zoe that's about it. I don't care about anything else on sense 5.

i just dont like the icons of sense5,

I agree they removed the 3Dness of the whole UI which for me is quite weird considering that they are boasting enhanced hardware. Yet they downgrade software. Although a large number of users tend to like it

Honestly as long as the messaging app looks crisp, I'm a happy camper! haha.

Im loving what they did with the UI, it's a million time better but I still don't like the icons. I've never been a big fan of android Icons in general, I'm used to all my icons having the same shape like on iOS. I'm sure ill get used to it, since some icons look nice but there are quite a few that I think are just really bad. Definitely gonna be themeing to get rid of them.

It's all to do with reducing the lag on Sense, making everything flat will mean that everything will be a lot smoother and take less time to load so reduces lag. This is something that I really want as even on Jelly Bean Sense 4+ still lags and stutters at times which on the devices we have it shouldn't happen.
Push mail in the default mail app would be nice too.

It looks way better than the old one. Simple is better :victory:

I like the new icons... Been looking for a sense 5 cm10 for theme the last week.

I wonder if you can view twitter contacts in the 'people' app?

What I like from Sense is the ability to customize the themes (Scenes and Skins options under Personalize settings). But now they removed those options
Wonder if they'll add it back in or is there any apps that have similar functions? Especially since Sense 4+, the Skins also affects the Weather Clock look and feel.
And also, they remove tons of HTC cool widgets.
