until now i had the Sensation XE.
and now in the One i am missing some basic things that were so great before !
1. weather widget. was so cool before.
2. calendar widget. used to be full screen, now 4X1 only
3. Mail - i have multiple accounts. each had different color.
its still the same in sense 5.0 but now they use the color to tell you if its an unread mail. after you read it - you lose the color.
now i have a list of emails and cannot know which email came from which account.
4. Mail - Delete email. used to navigate to the next one. now it just returns to the list of emails. very annoying.
5. clock widget - used to show my current location. now just says "Current Location"
i am sure i will find some more annoying stuff, and i dont like it one bit.
anyway to sort the above problems ?
yea, they removed a lot of good features. You listed most, but they also left out the SMS widget.
They really just have no idea.....
my most important widget was the people widget, if that was gone, i have no reason to get sense, but yes i do miss the others like sms
Can somebody post the people & sms widget from sense 4.5? Sense 5 still has m10 libraries so we might be able to port it with minor tweaking.
It still has sense 4's clock and weather widget. It doesn't have the bloaty one from sense 3 though

There already is a people widget in Sense 5.

He means the agenda calendar widget. There's no 4x4 widget any more.
Not sure where else to ask this, but something that is annoying me about the (otherwise excellent) Sense 5 stock mail app is that when you receive a notification about a new message arrival and you respond to the notification, it simultaneously switches focus to the mail app *and* opens and displays the first unread message.
I think I'd rather see the list of messages in my inbox and decide for myself if I want to open one or which one to open.
I'm pretty sure Sense 2.1 did not do this.
I have looked for a setting that controls this but could not find it.

I have extracted the "Calendar Widget.apk" Sense 4+ edition from my HTC One X.
But when I want to install it on my HTC One, I get the following message: "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
Somebody knows how to solve this?

And isn't it possible to change the name and signature of the extracted apk? So the original one can stay installed...
Slightly OT, but was the Sense Mail app any good in last versions of Sense? I keep seeing people praising the Sense 5 version when I just find it really awful. It doesn't have pinch to zoom, the checkboxes in the list view have a smaller area to hit than the AOSP one, and every email I get I have to click download images--it doesn't give an option to always download images from this sender like the stock one does.
Only missing the sms widget :/

Sense apk's won't install. You'll just have to replace the apk in /system/app.
What about location/footprints app? I could understand it's not there (in Sense 5) any more!
From the first preview to 1.29 somewhere in between they removed the ability to EDIT effects individualy in the gallery app, removed the option to hold back button for menu, boomsound is somehow not as loud, but camera have better color management. Seriously what the F, HTC, they seems to take 1 step forward and then 2 step backward, this is like with the old One X when all beats profiles has been removed as the software gets updated
Wait 2 more weeks for Sense 5.1 with JB 4.2.2.
The way I see it, people were bugging HTC to de-bloat their Sense and they did just that.
And I can tell from history that they change Sense every time.
Adding and removing parts of it. Perfecting it.

Hi dude,
I disagre with points 2 & 5
2, you are able to add a calendar 2*3 and modify its size.
5, Which clock are you using? mine is : weather clock 4*2 and I get my location and not: current location.
But yeah I miss an other point!
Scrolling Wallpaper is missing a lot! and 4*5 grid for the homescreen too!

I've been on cyanogen for a good 6 months now, but there are a few things I still haven't managed to find replacements for that sense did.
One of them was the mechanism you used to set timers and dates. I liked how you could just "roll" the timer/date down to get to your desired number in an egg timer looking graphic, rather than having to key it in on the keyboard, or manually keep tapping the plus/minus graphic, which feels so clunky in comparison.
Another is I liked the way the sense browser would automatically re-format text so that it would fit on your screen when you used pinch to zoom.
I don't suppose it's possible to regain these features in AOSP/CM?
EDIT: Here's what I'm referring to when I mention the time control:

Sense way:
I prefer the sense way because I can quickly flick my finger to move up say 15 minutes, instead of having to press the plus key 15 times.
Friendstream was another good one.

I've found that Launcher pro produce alot of lag once you fill screen with widget unlike sense laucher stay silky smooth. Try different tweak suposely to stop the adw and lp laucher lag but it's still there. Sense laucher is what I miss the most when going to CM or any AOSP rom.

Personally, I don't miss any of the sense widgets. I don't want anything on my homescreen but a clock. I like clockr. I use three screens.To the left is my calculator widget (used at work constantly), the center (home) just has my clock, to the right is my music widget (used in car daily). I like poweamp. I hide my status bar and don't use a launcher bar at all. I use the hidden dock bar (awd ex) to access gtalk, messages, app drawer, gmail, and browser. Swiping down opens notifications, up reveals the dock, tapping the clock opens the dialer. Add in the honeycomb themed lockscreen, and it doesn't get much cleaner. As you can see, widgets on my homescreen? Nein! Es ist verboten!

Was on vacation for a week (spring break) but anyways I updated the OP for clarification to what I meant. Basically I'm looking for a way to have the wheel style time picker.
The graphics aren't terribly important, just the functionality is better in my opinion because it's easy to go up or down medium distances with just a flick of the finger rather than pressing plus or minus multiple times.
BTW thanks for the reflow tip
You know you can tap the number field and type the number you want on CM, right?
Maybe I'm just a simpleton (JK), but I'm perfectly happy with iOSness (except the notifications), so, for me, MIUI is the absolute perfect mix of both worlds!

Yeah, which is good for going long distances in time (say 60 minutes,) but slow for going small to medium distances (say 15 minutes.) But even for longer distances it still doesn't save much time (if any) compared to the wheel method.

I tried miui - not really my cup of tea.
When did you last try MIUI? Up until the latest update, the only problem I have with it is there is no 4g yet.
I installed King's GB rom today, and I think the biggest thing I miss from Sense was the dialer and pressing a couple buttons to pull up the contact I want.
Besides that, it was just nice having matching widgets. The launcher pro ones are nice, but I need a news widget that matches and the calendar doesn't include facebook birthdays, which was my main way of knowing when people's birthdays were (strangely in sense certain facebook birthdays wouldn't show up, but most would).

Also, when that option is not set, you can just double tap the screen to wrap the text. I like this better because the page isn't constantly wrapping making me lose my place on the page.
I missed sense for a while at first. Now I have found better replacements for virtually everything that concerned me. I don't have to use the time/date set to often so my concerns differ from yours.
That said, I am definitely looking forward to trying out the new sense on the evo 3d. I love adw ex but I find it does lag when using to many widgets... I finally broke it down to 5 screens, not as many widgets, set vm heap to 24 and scrolling cache to low quality and it is smooth as butter.

I used to miss that too, but then someone mentioned Dialer One on another thread I'm not sure why this hasn't been integrated into Android w/o having to run a skin like Sense or an app like Dialer One
I don't miss anything, I actually hate Sense, well the one thing I do miss was the News widget. After all this time I still haven't heard of a scrolling RSS widget. I use LP+ and it's smooth for me.
By the way, is there a guide somewhere that actually explains what CM settings do? For example I would have never known what reflow to pinch was if I hadn't have read this thread. I have seen a wiki that supposedly explains it but it just relists what's in the menu itself which is worthless.
Also is there anywhere that explains what the different governors in SetCPU do? Some are self-explanatory, some aren't.
Hello everyone!
We have developed a new launcher once again! This is not the standard launcher that everyone makes. This is a Honeycomb Launcher. This launcher basically clones Android 3.0 Honeycomb as best as possible! Although this launcher is new, it clones Android 3.0 very well. Every update will bring more resemblance to0!
Anyways, the launcher is available on the Android Market now. All you have to do is search for Honeycomb Launcher. We have a BETA version which we run all of our tests on and a Donate version which is more stable and keeps our development going!
Honeycomb Launcher has many features that are in Android 3.0 and which are not in other launchers such as quick menus and much more. But one of the main features of this launcher is the girds for icons and widgets. The Portrait grid is a 10x10 and the landscape grid is 10x8. Which this means is the size and spots available for icons. The large grid-views will allow for you to place your icons and widgets in almost any place you want!
Screen shots are below!

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

really neato!
Just one thing: Whenever I want to move anything (either it be from the homescreens or from the app drawer)it lags a lot for like 3 seconds.
Also, sometimes when dragging from the AppDrawer it FCes.
HTC Wildifire
Stock 2.2.1
EDIT: Also, whenever I try to tick any of the settings in the Customise Honeycomb menu, I get FCed.
Ya we are fixing that! It is because of the grid size : (
but it is easy to fix. All you have to do is drag a widget on the screen and a few icons. Once you put a few icons and what not on the screen it speeds up quite a bit!! It is really weird. Maybe because when there is not a lot on the screen it has a lot to move over to get to a designated spot.
But dont worry, we will fix it : )
Thank you for that info
I will keep track if this topic/launcher since it obviously has potential
Thank you!
If anyone has any requests or want anything to be added let us know and we will add it in future updates!
Well, for one I'd like to see it be fully supported in QVGA.
When in portrait a part of the screen is missing, to be more precise the "back" button part of the screen.

I tried this and to be honest, the soft keys need some work, they just seem kinda unfinished in my opinion, they need to be bolded or something along those lines.
new setting nevr applies and it force closes
and hide notification dosnt even work
Hey for those who did not like to the look of the softkeys or just wanna change them, or if you just wanna make the add button more visible etc i have a way. Okay all you have to do is open the apk archive in 7zip and then follow these steps.
For example, to change the home key from the white and gray preset to the well known blueish-transparent download the hc3d add-ons (just search on xda). Next you need to double click res in the 7zip archive. After that click the drawable_hdpi folder once and drag it to your desktop. After that, locate the image you wanna use (i recommend the hc3d add ons) and copy and paste it into your desktop shortcut. Next, delete the current home_dock_button and rename your copy/pasted file as home_dock_button. You can also open them up and edit them to the proper size. (WRITE DOWN THE SIZES YOU NEED BEFORE DELETING THE IMAGE.). You can also open your new image and edit color, etc. To make your buttons now visible (like when the add button is only half shown) go back into your drawable_hdpi and find the image called line_break. All you half to do is open it and edit it to whatever size you want. i used 455x36. After you have edited whatever you want drag and drop the drawble_hdpi back into the 7zip archive for the apk. After this copy and paste back into your sd card.
If you try to install after this it will not work so you will need to download two apps. The first is signapktic and the second is Linda Manager (or any file manager of your choice). Open signapktic and locate the file you want then just go through its steps. This will resign the apk so it can be installed. Finally just open up your file manager, install, and enjoy. You will have to follow these steps evertime you try to edit a png/xml in the app so it is quite a tedious process.

Hope you can help. I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 unrooted. I downloaded DashClock and added it to my lock screen, however when I press the power button to look at the lock screen the widgets are really small next to the clock rather than full screen. If I swipe to the left and then back to the lock screen, the widgets go full screen. Any idea on how to make the widgets permanently full size like the picture below.

So there's a couple things about this question:
First, any widgets that you have in your first lockscreen by default are minimized to make room for your lock circle. If you just drag down on the widget, it will maximize your widget at the expense of your lock circle, which then has to be tapped to be brought up again. This is the behavior that you are seeing when you swipe away and then swipe back.
Second, if you want, some custom ROMs (namely cm and PA, but possibly others) have recently implemented an option to have your widget be expanded by default. So if that's what you're looking for, I would start there. Unfortunately, this feature is not available on stock so you will have to root your phone.
Hope that helps.

Actually, my bad. I assumed that DashClock's lockscreen widget is the same as it's homescreen widget. Apparently they're different. If you use WidgetLocker, you'll only be able to see the full homescreen widget.
To see what I mean, add the DashClock widget to one of your homescreens and compare that to what you see on the lockscreen...

I’m going to contradict myself here. I just realized that if the homescreen version of the DashClock widget is resized to be larger, it becomes identical to the lockscreen version of the widget.
Unfortunately, for some weird reason, if you try the same with WidgetLocker, the widget still looks like the compact version.
So, WidgetLocker is not the way to go for this. Sorry!
just for the record it is aokp's feature. very nice idea indeed.

Thank for this info I was also having that same problem. running Paranoid's 3.0 latest build and sure enough this fix the dash clock widget not showing up in full lock screen size.. Thank you .
Before you go rooting and installing all sorts of weird stuff, try swiping Down on the Dashclock widget on the lockscreen, that might give you the results you want

Nope, doesn't work for me.
Its a shame that stock Android doesn't have the option to maximize the lock screen widgets. I won't root and add a custom rom so it's a no go area for me unfortunately. Google if you're reading this please add that option!

Hey all
Hope you can help. I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 unrooted. I downloaded DashClock and added it to my lock screen, however when I press the power button to look at the lock screen the widgets are really small next to the clock rather than full screen. If I swipe to the left and then back to the lock screen, the widgets go full screen. Any idea on how to make the widgets permanently full size like the picture below.

This is how dashclock was designed and unfortunately you have to pull down the screen to get full access. Not sure the developer will change this or at least make an option to change this in future versions. You could always try and contact the developer and ask him to include this as an option, his Google+ account would be a good place to start.

I don't have G+ or twitter account and don't want to create one. I'll just wait and see if this is implemented in future.
If you are running PA (15th feb) go to hybrid properties -> swipe right -> tools -> turn on expert mode. Now go to interface and reduce lockscreen down to something like 190dpi. This should enable you to see the widget in full screen on the lockscreen. At least this is what worked for me.

I was able to get the widget to display full mode with two rows of info perfectly using the following settings on PA:
250 DPI lockscreen (turn on expert mode)
260 DPI dashclock widget
Keeps the overall size reasonable for both pattern unlock and widget size.

Thanks guys, no need to rub it in.
Hey guys,
I love the DashClock widget and use it on my lockscreen as well as my homescreen. However, I feel that having the big clock on the homescreen is redundant and unnecessary. At the current moment DashClock does not have an option to disable the actual clock (that I am aware of). So I am looking for something that is essentially the same as DashClock but with just the notifications and no clock.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

When I get home, if interested, I can upload the tweaked apk.

No problem. Transparency for the homescreen widget (I don't actually use there, just put it there for the screen cap), I believe is controlled / set via the 'Advanced' option in the widget setup.

Right now it's removed wholesale, as it was a quick and dirty hack. Let me take a look and see if there is a way to discern where the widget is being displayed and programatically hide the clock instead.

Do you have location services disabled?
The widget queries for your location, in order to translate that location (latitude / longitude), into a woeid, that it then passes to yahoo weather to retrieve the weather data.
You can view your logcat to see the widget working to obtain your location etc, to know if it is working. For example, here is essentially the URL call being made on my phone:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=24700990
Are you able to access this URL from your phone? If so, there shouldn't be any reason weather can't be retrieved based on your location / woeid, unless yahoo simply can't find a valid location based on the data passed in.
EDIT: Well hell, I starting replying to this, got sidetracked, came back to finish, hit submit, and see it was essentially already answered

Okay, played around with the decompiled .smali code some more (rather than working from source), and I was able to "conditionally" control / set whether the clock & date appears based on whether the widget is displayed on the lockscreen versus home screen.
Lockscreen (with clock / date):
Home Screen (w/o clock / date):
This should pretty much be what you are looking for. As mentioned, I don't use this on the home screen, but for those that do, until / if this is supported in the actual app, it should hold those over looking for the widgets w/o the clock, etc, when displaying on the homescreen.
It's certainly possible I broke something in the process, hacking this in, so let me know if you see any issues.
Be sure to first uninstall your official version, and after installing the modded apk below (click to download / install from phone, or use adb to sideload), don't forget to hide the 'settings' icon in the Advanced drop down of dash clock widget as well.

Thank you so much. I am uninstalling the official one and giving this one a try right now. I will report back after doing some testing.
EDIT: I just went through the process of uninstalling the official widget, clearing cache/dalvik and then rebooting and installing your tweaked version. It looks to be working perfectly as advertised. I have the clock on the lock screen but not on the homescreen. I have tested notifications for email, missed call, and text messages. All are working just as they should.
Thanks a lot!

Give notification widget a try
Wrong thread
I've been an ADW EX user for a long time, and although I was going to give Touch wiz a chance, I just hate how you cannot customize the rows and columns of icons on the home screen. I didn't think air command would work with a 3rd party launcher, but to my delight, it does.
However, I can't use the Action Memo widgets with ADW, which is a bummer, because I really like being able to add quick notes and reminders to my home screen.
Anybody know of an alternative app that works in the same way, or know how to get Action Memo widgets to work on other launchers?

I'm using nova prime and action memo etc. all work fine for me..
The widget, or the app? The app still works. I just can't seem to add the widget to my home screen.

Bump. Anybody know how to get Action Memo widgets on other launchers? Or know of any apps that offer the exact same functionality?
I would like to know a work around for this too. I use Nova launcher since note 2 and not having touchwiz widgets didn't really bother me then. Now it does. Only thing I don't like about touchwiz is not being able to have a custom grid. I might have to suck it up though.
Same problem
There used to be an S Notes "Page" widget as well, worked fine on other launchers - allowed you to create a resizable widget out of a single page of any s notes folder - which was great. Action Notes don't give you full drawing tools, S Notes do. So you could create a solid black background note that would blend in with your homescreen.
I may install old S Notes from my last Note 2 backup. Might be worth it over the cleanliness of the new one just to get those widgets back.
With S Note you can long-press the note's folder, change the name if you so desire, then long-press again and "add shortcut to home" and you will have an icon on your home screen for that note. Works well
With Action Memo you press the small icon at the top of the memo that is a box with small square in the upper right corner. That creates a small icon. Hit the home button and the Action Memo will close and you will have the small icon on the screen that can be moved and reopened at any time. Unfortunately there is no way to name the icon, but it does open directly to the memo. If you want to keep the icon you have to press the box again at the top of the memo while it is open or the icon will be gone once you close the memo.
Temp fix
Hi guy's.
Found a way around it sort of. I use Nova launcher prime, and also do not have the 4x3 widget. So what worked for me is to create the 1x1 shortcut widget and just re-size it to 4x3, click on it and start your memo.
I do not have any idea if ADW EX works the same but hope for your part it does.:good:

Please explain it step by step. I'm not able to resize the app icon and there is no "1x1 shortcut" widget?!
By the way... I'm using Google Keep instead of Action Memo. I'm using the App "Sketch for Keep" to write memos with the s-pen:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.piip.sketchforkeep

The Google Keep Widget is nice, but overall I'm not able to write Memos without unlocking the phone anymore (s-pen double click action is not changeable). But I can access/edit all my memos through the PC/Browser and I'm able to buy an other Android later or the Phone can be damaged without fearing to loose my memos.

Do you want to use the widget in the lockscreen? Or just normal use, and what type of launcher are you using at this moment?
Maybe there is a way, and i can help you.
I'm using Nova, too.
I don't mean a widget on the lockscreen. I mean the double-click shortcut with the s-pen. You are able to press the s-pen button and tap two times on the screen in every situation (lockscreen, apps, etc.).

Ok, so I took a look and mine seems to work in all ods, meaning double tapping the s-pen does open my action memo.
Is your nove launcher prime or free, and are you on stock TW rom or custom?
If on stock TW, I will post a video and show that it works and how to use it.
Sorry, my English is not the best. I didn't want to ask how to use the double-click action. This works as expected. I only wanted to say that it does not work with other Apps like Google Keep as Samsung does not allow to change the shortcut.
The only question I had was how did you solve to resize the app/widget. I've tried several ways (long press the app to copy it to the home screen, look through the widget menu, but there is no action memo widget, etc.). So what did you do to be able to resize the action memo icon?!

My mistake, sorry for that misunderstanding. So by using Nova Launcher prime 2.3, you basically just add a normal widget and at the top of the list is action memo. And then it will automatically show you the grid in witch you are able to re-size see attachment.
If this helped please say thanx.:good:

Ok see if this works, go to your basic TW launcher and create then the action memo widget, go back to nova en in setting say import and choose basic TW launcher. that's how i got the widget.
Yes. 4.3.
Import? But this will overwrite my actual homescreen

My application manager does have all four Acton memo apps listed like yours. But like the other guy, action memo widget is not a choice when importing TW screen and restoring widgets. Nor is it a choice when creating new widgets. Any ideas?
