HTC Desire 2.2 better off ...... sense

I prefer a system like:
1. LauncherPro
2. Free Power Widget
3. Digital Clock Widget
4. Smooth Calendar
5. Snowstorm weather widget
6. Increasing Ring
7. Visual Task Switcher Free
8. Calendar Snooze
9. 3D Gallery
10. Belo Call Dialer
on market
11. Lockscreen - sense HD on XDA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791315

Thanks, you posted some cool apps which I needed: Smooth Calendar and the Visual Task Switcher.
I went away from Sense just recently, since it's slow - Especially in the app drawer.
Anyway, do you know a good Mail-Widget? I like the one from HTC but that isn't useable (as any HTC Widget) on LP. (I got Launcher Pro Plus btw)

My only problem with non-sense launchers(LauncherPro and ADW Launcher) is that they both lack a good looking mail widget or a facebook widget(No, don't suggest Pure Messanger, its not even close to HTC's).

I think that LP is a cool launcher, althou its preformance kindda lacking...
Its choopy and laggish when moving between docks, to the point it rly bugs me, other than that, top notch.

What about LauncherPro Plus? It iterally has cloned sense widgets incl. Facebook, twitter, friends (friendstream) messaging, bookmarks and contacts

I am using Launcher pro plus at the moment and it does not have any sort of mail widget. Pure messenger does not cut it

How did you set up the Sense HD Lockscreen?

It's good that we have choice people, no need to down rank aosp android or sense or xyz....
I always return to Sense no matter what rom I try. AOSP, MIUI, Cyanogen....For some reason 'regular' Android just seems 'bland' to me.
And also, Sense isn't slow but I do agree that the app menu is slow in scrolling. Something that plagued Sense since the Hero 1.6 days.
OP: Great set-up, I am sure people will he thankful for your set-up.

Htc widgets on other home screens

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.

Calendar Widgets

Any good calendar Widgets that display your upcoming events similar to the sense based Widgets?

i dont know

smooth calendar

I've tried most of them. My favorites are:
Free - Android Agenda Widget
Paid - Pure Calendar Widget
Pure Calendar Widget I think is the best but it cost a couple dollars.

+1 smooth calendar

Smooth calendar is the best for me...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I have also tried them all. I prefer Simple Calendar Widget for the next appointment view and then Launcher Pro for the agenda view.

Pure Calendar Widget

I like business calendar cause it reminds me of the Sense calendar widget, which was my favorite of all the calendar widgets.

I am using Pure Calendar Widget, because it integrates with Got To Do, which is now defunct.

another +1 for smooth calendar here!

I was going through many different Widgets for various tasks. And then I tried launcher. It cut 10mb off my ram usage, also adds resisable Widgets (standard aswel), has a nice calander widget (I specifically bought it for this) and ads some sick customization. It is very stable too. Please note that this app completely replaces the stock launcher, and so will not even be cached on startup. There is a free version to try, but it is minus the Widgets you seek, but does have screen shots of them (in app). Sory if this seems off topic, but its just another consideration to take in with all the other very helpful suggestions.

Dunno about the HTC calendar but I'm using Android Agenda Widget which is very customizable, integrates with Astrid and GTasks (which in turn integrated with Google Tasks) and also displays your contacts birthdays.
It doesn't look very fancy but it works well!

Pure Calendar Widget vs Smooth Calendar
I just switched to Smooth Calendar from Pure Calendar. Pure Calendar is very functional and looks good unless you switch back and forth between landscape and portrait on your home screen. Regardless of the settings, in landscape Pure's widget gets horribly pinched and is not pleasant. I like Smooth because I really only want a good looking agenda widget; I prefer using the native calendar app for creation and editing.
On a side note, I really liked SPB Shell's calendar widget. Although the widget took an entire pane, it had both a good looking calendar and agenda. Ultimately, I uninstalled in favor of the better usability of ADW Launcher.

I like Android Agenda Widget.

1) Launcher Pro - built in
2) Colorize
3) Pure Calendar

Want to move to CM

Im think of moving to CM, I'm running Calkulin's Sense Rom no and i can't do with out a Good Calendar that will pull Google Calendar & Exchange. I also need a decent Clock widget as similar to the Sense on as i can get with an alarm clock. Also a decent people widget would be nice. these are the only things holding me back. You CM People here is your challenge to convert yet another.

Pure Calender widget. Pure grid calendar. Also free ones in the market. If you want to incorporate missed calls/mms / exchange email/ twitter/Facebook then use pure messenger. If you need to know more Widgets let me know.
Beautiful Widgets for clock, or gtabsimiclock. Fancy Widgets as well, clokr too and tajm. search for clock widget in the market.
Contacts widget for your contacts.

+1 on Beautiful Widgets. If you pick up the paid version of LauncherPro, you also get a nice calendar and people widget (among others) that are similar to sense.

I just wanted to then you both. I used grit calendar, launched pro for people. Beautiful Widgets for clock and weather for the sense like expierience withfull support of Hotmail, Gmail, and exchange syncing.

AOSP - What widgets do you use?

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.
