I have an HTC Hero and I just started using Helix Launcher 1. I was interested if I could add htc widgets to that home screen so i wont be stuck with those crappy default android. I am well aware that you can download new widgets off of the market but none of them are of the same caliber of the htc widgets.

I understand that widgets can use power; especially the ones that update (news, weather, etc.).
What I'm curious about is when you have launchers like Go Launcher and Launcher Pro Plus. If you have them both, what is happening to the widgets that are on the launcher you're not using (including the stock launcher). Are those widgets drawing power to update, even though you aren't seeing them? Should you delete all widgets, except for the launcher you're currently using?
i am using spb for a long time.but there are many other cool, clean launchers which do not need as much cpu/ram.so i do not need most of the spb thinks. i do not use most of the spb widgets.but i really really love the 3d sms and 3d birthday widget.
It is not possible to get widgets running outside there own launcher.i searched the web for a really long time to find widgets which are looking as cool as this 2 widgets.tell me such widgets so that i can drop spb and use it in an other launcher?
I like using different widgets for my screens. What is everyone using?? I'm not sure which ones to get from the market.

And under the description, whats it mean by you cant go back to the old one? Like.I cant go back to the HTC Sense Click/Weather widget? I probably mis read it or something. But honestly, do you think its better than the stock click/weather htc widget? Or should I get BW?It looks nice, I would like to try it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIm using the new fresh 2.1 ROM which is awesome. In 1.5 I used the settings widgets to turn on/off wifi, 3g etc. On 2.1 there is a power manager widget that basically has wifi, BT, GPS, screen brightness and sync all in one widget. I liked the other widgets better as I had the ability to turn off 3g with it. Is there any way to get thos widgets back in 2.1? Another thing I've noticed is that in 1.5 you could turn off the GPS and not affect the location services but in 2.1 I cant find a similar setup....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know how to use the Normal 3 Page android view v. 7 Page sense. I like HTC sense but think that the icons are getting boring, I downloaded the droid icons (2.0 icons) and used better cut to change it. But it will not work with HTC Sense so i am using the 3 Page android one. My question is, is their any download in the market or online that lets you add the Sense widgets to the normal android screens. I have astro file explorer and will try to search for the widgets in the htc folder and copy them to the android widgets folder.
View 16 Replies View RelatedSo I removed a widget and then went back to put it back on and got the msg there wasn't room. I played around a bit moving and removing items to make room. I learned that while there doesn't seem to be room for the widget, there is room for the "program" for the same app/function.So now I'm wondering, what is the difference between these three?Will one result in more or less battery drain? Is the widget quicker to launch it's program equivalent?Should I avoid placing one type on the home page?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've searched on here, but none of the threads really answered my question post the 2.1 second upgrade. Which widgets use battery life even during sleep mode/when the homescreen ISN'T actively being displayed? I was under the impression that homescreen widgets don't load until you swipe to that homescreen (except for Twitter of course). The Facebook and YouTube widgets always load up with new status updates and videos recommended for me after I turn my phone from sleep mode. These widgets are all on one screen, so if I wake my phone up and swipe to the screen with Facebook and Youtube, they will show facebook status updates that say like updated 2 mins ago and Youtube will have the slideshow going of videos recommended for me. Also, does the official HTC battery widget cause high battery drain? I may to look at my friend's Droid at work and see how he gets 2 days of battery life. He doesn't seem like he would lie about it, and says when he uses the web it dies fast. However, he did say that it pulls his email automatically for him so he must not be turning 3G off.

My question is can you add widgets from websites like espn...like the widgets that you can put on your desktop. Im just curious cuz i want to add a widget from a site called "rotoworld.com" its a fantasy sports site and there is no widget obviously on the phone like that. I can add it to my desktop on my computer or igoogle(not sure what that is).
I rooted my phone last night and was reinstalling all my apps and widgets. Before I went to bed, I clicked to download the HTC widgets battery, coin, and dice. I woke this morning to find 2 of them were stuck installing and one was downloading. I was able to cancel the downloading one and download and install it. The others are still stuck labeled 'installing' and I can't find any way to cancel or make them proceed. Any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed lately that both the Android search widget, and the HTC search widget are both not working properly. Prior to this issue, when I used either of the search widgets as I typed it would populate search results below the search text box. For some reason now this isn't happening. When I search now I don't get the instant results. I have to submit the search, and it will display the google search results in a browser window.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRemove widgets from the home screen? I searched this forum and didn't see anything on it. I am a new owner and new to this forum and I LOVE my phone.
But it has shown me that I am not nearly as tech savy as I liked to think I was. I am a little overwhelmed with this phone.
I have noticed on some threads that people were having issues with their widgets and Swype on the Cyanogen Froyo ROM. I was having this issue as well. Whenever I rebooted my phone I would have to make Swype my default keyboard again, and reinstall certain widgets. But I think I have found a solution. I noticed that Swype and some of these widgets had been stored on the SD card instead of on the phone. So I went into my settings and into application management and moved them over to the phone. That seemed to solve the issue. Give it a try and see if that fixes your problem, if you were having it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOkay, I've spent 2 whole hours making sure that I'm not repeating a thread and I couldn't believe no one has made a thread on their fav widgets yet and how they use them! This is something similar to Khaag27's forum so plz dont hit me with copyright infringements.
To start out, I don't have a screen capture, so I can't just show you the screen shots, which I strongly encourage others to use if they have it..rooted bastards lol..but I'll tell you which widgets I have on which screens. I also know that widgets take up a lot of your battery, but I don't see many people using them on their screens. It's like why not?
On my furthest screen to the left, I just have 3 widgets, which are my personal favorite because they tell me all my interest in life! (well almost) They are Gaming Buzz, US Sports Buzz, and Mobile Buzz by AdMob. Great widgets that I've never seen others use.
Next is just my gaming screen.
Next is the SportsTap widget. Like to stay updated with my Rockets and the Black Mamba
Home screen is the second HTC calendar widget..smaller version..i have the smaller version of HTC's weather app, which I update manually..I have the Ringer toggle widget..which is great for quickly configuring your vib..silent settings..and I have the Bible Daily verse..which is great for starting my day off
Next is Tune Wiki, which I rarely hear about lately, and Pandora. I also have iSearch..which I never see either..I'm starting to think if I'm really the only one using these!!
Next is the toggle settings for wifi..gps..etc..then the contacts widget..the smaller version..
I recently removed the mail widget as I saw that this was hogging up a lot of battery and I don't like nosey people really lol..
sorry for the long post but as said, I don't have screen capture In other words, what are you fav widgets?!! which probably should been the title lol..
Plz share as I'm always looking for uses for my screens since I'm not a rooted user and patiently waiting for 2.1!!

View 1 Replies View Relatedafter installing 2.2 on my hero, everything was working fine, until now. im having problems with my text messages, they wont send under sprints network, if i put it in roaming then they send right away, but roaming has awefully slow (1x) network speeds, but if i put it back to the 3g network speeds of sprint then everytime i try to send a text it just swirls in circles (the little thing next to the message) and wont send. is this sprints network being down? or does this have to do with the 2.2 update?i dont think its sprint because my mom and sister arent having any problems with there phones from the same plan. but i tryed restarting many times, taking out and leaving out the battery, putting it in airplane mode and turning that back off to reset connection, iv tryed everything and cant get it to work, so idk what to do, and i dont understand why if it was a software problem with the 2.2 installation, why would they send in roaming but not on sprints network?
