Launcher pro = missing HTC widgets - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there way around loosing all of the HTC widgets when installing launcher pro.....namely the beautiful widget?
I have the beautiful widget .apk but I don't think it will work as well as the mt4g stock version.
Also, I had to un install launcher pro to go back to using the sense UI. I tried using home switcher without any luck.

I think the stock HTC widgets will not work as they require HTC framework and code in the Launcher to utilize it. i.e. you have to use Espresso Launcher for them to work.
As for installing and uninstalling Launcher Pro... I have no idea as I use ADW and can freely switch, although I never do.

Thanks.... wish the "faves" button and the "genious" button could be changed..... a side from those "features" I don't mind the sense UI.

If all else fails you can always clear defaults in settings.
Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> (find your current launcher) touch it -> press the "clear defaults" button
The above also works for your internet, messaging, etc
-Cheers

The old fancy widget looks exactly like the htc clock. That's why they had to change it. Its easy to find on the net.

Doesn't do the flipping action like the HTC one does. In fact, I believe only the newest versions of the HTC clock actually flip. I ran the HTC flip clock on my Desire ported ROM on the N1 and it didn't flip there either.

Thanks.
Not only does the newest HTC clock flip, when it rains a windshield wiper wipes your screen. When it's cloudy your screen clouds up. Pretty neat effects i thought.
I .got over it though. Ive had weatherbug elite for a while so im back to using it with launcher pro and aquarium live wallpaper.
I like a nice clean screen..... so those large iphone like icons combined with no customizable dock had to go.

Beautiful Widgets are the exact same thing. Clock and the Weather animation. Comes on everytime you unlock also.

The newest FancyWidget Pro is the closest thing I've found to replacing the HTC Clock Widget. FancyWidget Pro is awesome though! Super customizable and it can display the battery percentage right on the widget! I've switched to LPP and FW instead of mySense. Only thing LPP needs now is a News/RSS widget and it'll beat Sense hands down!

How 2 turn off the home jumper thing on the bottom screen?

When I'm flipping left and right on my home/widget screens this short cut/jump to screen pops up on the bottom. I can't figure out how to disable it!! I try to go into my drawer/all app list and end up jumping to another home screen. Please help

You could just use a different launcher? I've moved to ADW Launcher and I'm loving it so far. Lots of options/tweaks.
Drop blur & just use an alternative home launcher such as adw or launcher pro.

Just downloaded new launcher. Good info thanks y'all.

I use launcher pro (plus) the beta version is free, basically i turn off homescreen rotation (like it is in moto, which i agree with i'm only gonna hold the homescreen one way)
and i enable 5 rows in the homescreen Gives so much more room to have widgets. as well as icons, it looks kinda messed up if you go landscape homescreen.
It just makes sense to me and wish more wide phones (which is about all the new phones now) should come like that

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.

Alternative launcher

I love using adw.launcher or launcherpro, but I can't add a widget to the home screen.... any ideas?

Alternative Launcher
I would love an answer to this as well. I installed Launcher Po but likewise could not get widgets to show.
All home replacement launchers cannot not have widget with S7. Its a known issue, I thought by removing default launcher would help but ended with same result, maybe with custom roms it will fix this issue.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
I've uninstalled both ADW and launcher pro multiple times trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I thought maybe it was to do with the changes Telstra made as mine is rebranded and has apps I cant uninstall.
I have noticed that the icon for the widget is different in the default home screen to in the other launchers.

Widgets just won't work for now. I've tried adw, launcher pro, zeam, etc, etc...just live with the native launcher if you want any widgets for now.
LauncherPro is great for me but yes, no widget use apparently. We are awaiting a new ROM to flash after CWMod comes here.

if you root the device you can uninstall all of the telstra crap...
on the subject of telstra, how **** is it that telstra prepaid cannot tell you how much 3G data you have used for the month... its a bloody joke.
I had the same problem with ADWlauncher and Widgetlocker. After installing AppWidgetPicker it works with widgetlocker. Don't know about the launcher because i removed it. You can find AppWidgetPicker here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
Edit: tested with ADW and it works!
With 2. 2 All the widgets work

Where can i find the default tmobile clock / weather widget?
I recently flashed to CM7 but liked the clock / weather widget that was on the stock Tmobile ROM. Any suggestions on how to get this back?
THanks!

I think you mean the sense clock weather widget. that commonly used widget is htc's, not tmobile's
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Yeah. The stock clock/weather widget is part of HTC Sense. That's why you don't see it when using an alternative homescreen launcher. Also, that's why other widgets that used that style widget had to change it.
ok that must be why I cannot find it! I think the HTC Sense stock was by far the best. It had weather alaram and clock on the home screen...then it also had multiple alternate locations. Any that are comparable to that?
there are settings within both beautiful widgets and fancy widgets pro where you can set up what i believe your talking about. for instance under advanced settings you can set up when you touch the clock it open's a app, lets say you want that 2b your alarm..you can change it 2 that or any other app you wish. you can make touching the date start the calender and clicking on the sun/moon will start the weather. Both have a sence-like feel, like under settings you can check to have the clouds move when unlocking the phone. I myself like beautiful widgets a lil better but perhaps check youtube 4 a video on each b4 you decide which you may like better. well hope this helped some.

Sense disabling Launcher Pro plus

heya, just threw Android Revolution on yesterday (LOVING it!), and got all my apps back, had launcher pro plus running alongside Sense (but wasn't actually using Sense, and hadn't chosen a default as yet..), today for sh*ts and giggles I chose Sense for a compare, and now I cannot get back to Launcher!
any ideas? i have tried reinstalling launcher, no good. I have tried closing Sense process down, no good. It just restarts.
When im hitting the home button I'm not getting the option to choose Launcher Pro or Sense anymore.
Any ideas? Really want Launcher Pro back as its the shiz.
Don't know if the sense process is listed since I use cyanogen mod. Try menu, settings, manage apps, look for sense , select it, and clear data

Go to applications look for HTC sense and do not clear data look for clear defualts that will lift the option of sense being defualt home app

You may try an apps called "Home Switcher" and switch it back to LauncherPro
