HTC widget on Captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to get the HTC home screen widget with the clock, weather, and full screen animation on the Cappy?

Probably not. It's a Sense thing. But, Beautiful Widgets has some that are REALLY close to it.

Beautiful Widgets
HD Widgets
Fancy Widgets
3D Widgets
One of those may give you something close to what you're looking for.

Port the aesthetics over to widgets ??/

Is it possible to make widgets that look like those that are found in the hero roms, for a regular home screen? Do you think it would be posible to port the aesthetics over to widgets for the other home apps? because those by and far knock out the current widgets in the looks department.
Just an idea.
I second that. I would love to see full screen Weather widget with some animation.... and a bookmark widget... and Twitter widget... and Email widget.... I want all of them!!!!!
Would like this too...Any devs interested?
Count me in ! i also want all these widgets especially the message widget, our G1 are nt fully using 3D.

Which Widget could you not live without?

So, with widgets now in full swing, I thought I would find out from you folks, which widgets could you not live without????
Personally, I love the FML widget. I look at it several times a day. I love how its customizable to fit any theme! Im sure I would be VERY UPSET to lose this one!
I also love the Android and Me widget and the 10,000 things to know widget.
So what about you guys?
def the bbc news widget for me. (being british)
really hope to see a decent sms widget, facebook widget, and contacts widget - bit like the ones on the hero.
from hero i cant live without the messaging preview widget
that thing is the best
dont have to keep going into the app now to preview a message to know if i feel like responding or not...
it lags the phone a little but oh well...
Flipclock with weather from hero
I've never got the hype with widgets - they seem to kill my battery and tbh I can just click one icon on my homescreen for whichever app I like.
Really the only widgets I use are the retro clock/date, wifi on/off and brightness. That is in addition to the music and google in another window.

I'm with you on this one. Though it is good to see next appointment in your calendar on the home screen. So calendar is the only widget that I use.

HTC Clock Widget on Donut

Is it possible to have HTC Hero Clock widget on CM 4.2.3? If so what files I need to apply? Please just give me an idea if its possible to do.
Thanks!!
Look up beautiful widgets its a replica of the HTC clock and little settings switches ,
So far only way to get it on doughnut until HTC updates their sense UI
The BeautifulWidgets app is very good. I've had some problems in the past getting it to sync correctly, though. The Beautiful pack has a few other decent widgets mixed in with it too.
or use weather widget donate for the touchflo3d look clock with the weather
Thanks for ideas guys. I already tried weather widget donate and no complaints. I'm going to try Beautiful Widgets now.

HTC Clock App for Froyo

Is there any way at all to get the HTC Clock app into Froyo? Not the widget, just the clock app. I want it because it's so much more full-featured than the default Android clock app.
It's seriously the only thing holding me back from going back to CM6. I loved everything else about Froyo.
Any advice? Or does this fall under the "Sense has not been ported over to Froyo" stance? I just want to know if the HTC Clock apk can just be tweaked to run on Froyo as well, since it's not a widget.
I know Regaw is trying to port sense to 2.2, but I use beautiful widgets and launcher pro plus. I would recommend buying these 2 apps and run CM6.

Indeed, I heard he is trying port as well, but I don't quite care about the Widgets. I still have my copy of Fancy Widget (which was/is free) and I bought a copy of LPP. The only thing is that it doesn't solve my issue, I really really like the clock app from sense. It had not only alarms, but a desk clock function, but a world clock, a stopwatch and even a countdown timer. I use all of those pretty frequently.
Actually, maybe, if you're using Froyo, you can rip the Clock apk from a sense rom and see if it runs in Froyo?
download iclock from amith gc found in market. The only thing it is missing is desk clock. Can't find one that isn't for HTC Sense

Well, I can't . The market is down, At any rate, I'm not looking for a widget, I have Fancy Widget, which looks exactly like the HTC Sense Clock Widget, and even let's me configure the tap zones (like saying, tap the clock and launch the clock application).
Problem is, I want that same clock app in Froyo, because then, I can finally leave Sense UI behind.
I too have been looking for the sense clock. I really liked the timer/stop watch it had. I used it all the time. I tried to find the .apk from other sense roms but everything I tried gave me errors and would not run. Some of the .apk's wouldn't install at all. I'm guessing they would have to be ported some how and thats way over my head.

I'm also very interested with this. I totally prefer the HTC Clock over the standard android clock. Timer and stopwatch is a must for me.
im pretty sure the SENSE clock has different framework then the stock android. i could be wrong but yes you would have to use an app to get it.
There's an app 'Stopwatch & Timer' that seems to work fine. I know not everyone wants separate apps but I don't even get cake, let alone the opportunity to eat it too.

HTC clock will not work on cm6, as it is built on the sense framework and cm6 is AOSP. About the best you'll get is fancy widget, though, beautiful widgets is a fine replacement. Sadly, nothing that I've found has all of the functionality of the sense clock. :-(

exactly wat i was trying to say you just worded it better..lol
Sense Clock
If anyone figures this out I want it too. I've been scouring the web for hours since I rooted my phone trying to find the desk clock/world clock/ stop watch/timer/alarm clock...I can't believe no one else has come up with a way to put all of those together in one app...

[Q] Sense widget like apps for 2.2/2.3

Hi all,
I'm currently on the V13 rom purely for the sense widgets [mail, messages, stock clock, people, etc]. I would like to move on to a 2.2 or 2.3 rom but notice there isn't quite the final working rom that supports sense. I think ChocolateFroyo 2.2 is the closest but doesn't have working camera?
Anyhow, thinking that if i update to an AOSP 2.2/2.3 rom, are there any apps in the market that provide the sense widgets feel?
Any other suggestions welcome!
Thanks
Launcherpro Plus supports themes now, there's a sense theme out for that, the guy that's done them has also made a sense style weather clock widget

Also Go launcher ex with Go weather provides free widgets with there launcher. Maby you should check that out.

Fancy Widget or Beautiful Widgets for the clock and stuff if you want.
can someone tell me which is the best home screen clock other than the sense one ? thank you
Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget are my favorite other than Sense.
Thanks guys! Gonna install the Froyd 1.7.3 rom once my battery charges then I'm gonna have me some fun with the sense theme and Fancy Widgets!
fancywidget is the best
I use fancyWidget with the sense clock and its beautiful
Alright, got the new rom, got launcherpro plus and fancy widget [i love this!!]. So i won't bother with the LPP sense theme now. However i notice LPP doesn't have an email widget [gmail widget is useless to me]. Anyone know of a good [sense like] email widget?
Thanks!!!
