So we've got the clock and search bar built in....
Do we know about other widgets? I recall hearing there was a delay or something on widgets.
I'd like one that shows the weather/calendar items on the home page so I don't have to check manually. Yeah, nothing too big, just wondering if anyone knew what's up with the lack of widgets out there.
Thanks.
The widget API is not ready/existent yet.

I know I've seen today screens w/o the big ass clock. How do I disable it? I've searched and read 10+ pages and can't figure it out.
wow, you must have not searched that much or that hard otherwise you would have found HTC Home Customizer

Could you be more specific so I can try to help you?
You can't.

I've got customizer. I just can't find the option to remove the big ass clock. I've seen screenshots of today screens without it. Are those folks using a different app?

Just disable HTC Home, then enable messaging, tasks, callender and most of everything is back without the clock.
but i like the other stuff on HTC Home. Isn't there a way to do both?

The best you can do is disable the 'home' tab.
You should be able to do this in the Start->Settings->Today->HTC Home tab
If not, search the forums for the newest version of HTC Home.
I won't get picky about it.
But particularly I believe a world of a lot of g1 users, root and non root would really appreciate a home replacement that allows the user to do the following.
Choose which apps to show in the app drawer.
And the ability to move apps out into the "add to home screen" feature that shows up when you longpress the home screen/menu-add. In a new sub section called hidden apps/roughly around there.
So applications to prevent theft on the g1 could be hidden there over being spotted in the app drawer.
:]
Just an idea.
It is a good idea. Should post it in the dream applications+games section Though.
A layered app menu would be nice...

I was thinking that since the hero widget can't be ported to a normal g1 someone could try to use Sweeter home's layer option for an sms type widget similar to the hero.
I think it could work out very well since you can add layers and transparency.
An option to hide the apps in the tray would be nice!! I'm down for that.

Haha I know! Lately I've been bothered at having a very long app drawer, and apps like Photovault, password storage apps,and other not so commonly used apps would just fit beautifully in that new folder I'm suggesting.
I'm trying to keep this thread alive with hopes that a dev will see it and take the challenge so keep this thread alive :]
If anyone could do this, it would be the folks over at Better Android (OpenHome). In my humble opinion, they have the best home app on the market. You should forward this request to them!

I would like to, but half the time I've ever emailed better home they've done nothing but send me minimal short dissatisfying responses. But yea I use Open Home/have bought it.
Currently running Cyans build with the a hero theme or some widgets works fine enough with me.
But idk I think A home has a better go about things like this.
And of course Sweeter home is my favorite.
Yeah not sure why folders in the menu havent been figured out yet...I was almost sure someone would have cracked that missing feature long ago...
i would love a folder app or a tab app to put in the drawer,
you can hide icons, or make a whole tab of just games.
also, i wish there was a app that would lock icons on the main screens.
so nobody can move the icons unless you activate them.
anyone get my drift?
Better Android Says:
That's a good idea, although 'hiding' apps from the app drawer wont provide any securities because they are plenty to launch an app once you get pass the lock screen.

I sent him back an email saying that it would still help to weed out duplicates (like having a shortcut, and in the app drawer). I didn't get a response back on that one.
I would like to see this though.

Yea if we made a larger up roar about it and got more emails to the betterandroid guys they'd pretty much have to do it
Ive just made something like this.... you can "throw" away the application shortcuts from the app drawer and "restore" them using an added menu..

Haha rogro82 beat me to it.
I was gonna link his thread, but i guess he already linked his own.
Maybe you should provide screenshots and more details.
Thanks!
MY 2 cents
So far I love the suggestions and it sounds great.
Have you seen DxTop? I used it for a while and loved the one swipe to any of the 4 screens, maybe something like that. Maybe the ability to add more or subtract screens.
And always keep it fast.
I have heard that there is a mod that allows up to 10 screens, but I haven't found it yet. Please PM me if you know what mod I am talking about.
Thanks.

retske - Just so you're aware, the app that rogro linked to just a few posts above does all those things without needing to install bloatware (except for the "1 swipe" thing...what's a tap or 2 more?).
forgive me if this belongs in QnA but i currently have the awesome nemoplayer app. really nice app but the problem im having is with the widget. when i try to add the widget to a home page with no other widgets in it, it still says not enough room. i also tried a couple of home replacements but still the same result. anyone know why?

The nemoplayer was made for a phone with more screen real estate. The g1/mt3g is smaller and is not able to show a widget bigger than it. You can tell the difference when you open the app and when searching for a picture to look at half of the bottom row is cut off
Wow! The search button actually works. LOL I was about to start a new topic but just searched and look at what happened.

Does anyone know where I can get the weather widget that is on the home screen of the new LG Star? Or is it currently unreleased.

I figured as much. I hope that weather widget is available soon it looks really slick!!

You can also GO Weather by the Go Dev Team. It's the same as that and comes in MANYdifferent sizes.

Google GO Weather and it's the app brain link : the forum won't let me post links yet.

Which widgets are you referring to? Was there an image that didn't make it, or were you referring to all of the TW widgets?

I see. I haven't seen the widgets floating around independently of TW. But I recall seeing a UCCW theme that was based on it. Hold on a moment, and I'll update this post with the link.
EDIT: Found it. Here you go. Hope it helps. I know it's not quite the same as the actual widget, but it should at least give you the look.

There are a few others that match the clock style you're looking for, as well:

Thanks to Roberto's thread for indexing the UCCW themes and making them easy to find. Saved me from having to go back through all the pages in the original thread.
Here it is....try this one..
