any luck restarting the phone with advance killer turn off? u might have changed the setting to automatically kill the sense widget. also try removing the clock widget off and putting it back on. if u go to advanced task killer and press menu>setting uncheck autostart. then restart the phone and lets see what happens
i've done all that actually got rid off everything i had set up in advanced task killer, have tried getting rid of the widget and putting it back on a million times and it just deosn't want to work. i've tried everything and i have no idea why it isn't working, but it looked so nice when it did.
the widget you want is under 'clock'. so, on the home page you want to put it, hit menu, add to home, widget, clock (not analog clock) then hit the little arrow button at the bottom until you get to the flip clock with weather on it. select it. presto. you're done.

yeah k, i know that look at my screen shot.
anyone else wanna try this is so annoying.
BUMP for a problem that will probably affect someone other than myself.
hey mods can you guys move this to general or android development, maybe someone who can help me will see it there, and i would rather not make a new topic in a different thread. it's just really infuriating i have literally tried everything it hasn't been working right since saturday so i figured i would ask on here after a few days. this has to have happened to somebody at somepoint, it must be something simple i'm missing.
this used to happen on my G1 ..all u have to do is delete the widget from the home screen / restart phone / add widget again
Thank you will try.

Reflash whatever ROM you are running over the top of your current ROM in recovery. You shouldn't have to wipe to do this and it should restore your clock.
If it still persists, then wipe and then flash your ROM in recovery.
under the setting part of the widget, try and set it to a specific location, not 'my location'. it may be that it can't find you. especially if you're on a wifi network
i'm not running a rom, haven't flashed anything. all i did was do unrevoked to get root for a couple of things, and i have it set to miami. with gps on and everything. though i am on 3g now and no difference.
all the widget has is the time, no date or anything and it says miami, no clouds no sun nothing.
Try downloading a rom..take the weather widget out place it on ur sd card install via astro ..
Verify your auto syncing it turned on.
So, what is the easiest way to switch launchers. I can't find a reference to current launcher in settings. I loaded launcherpro (and love it), but I was able to hold down home initially, and it would ask which launcher to use for stuff, but I changed it to default. Now I don't know how to switch back to sense, without deleting launcherpro. Any easier way to do this?
Go into settings>apps>manage apps>then go to HTC sense and launcher pro and select clear defaults in each one. Then when you press home it will ask you to select which to use.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for!
Hello! I think I saw a similar post in the "general" section with no replies but I thought I'd try here.
I'm trying out Launcher Pro and things are nice, except for the fact that I got very used to having the Samsung TW Program Monitor widget around that told me how many programs were running and clicking it took me to the task manager where I could kill individual programs (and not everything at once). Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm tempted to just go back to the touchwiz launcher...
I would also like to know of an app that is like the tw program monitor, just something simple and easy to use

The ONLY TW widget i liked was the program manager one!
But it isn't worth going back to Touchwiz from Launcher Pro though.
I've been looking for a suitable widget similar, and will report if i find one.
search for systempanel in the marketplace

If you're using launcher pro then you can still access program monitor only thing is that you won't have it as a widget. From launcher pro simply hold the home key until the task manager window pops up. Click on task manager and you're back to program monitor.

Thanks but I was hoping for something more widget like. I've also noticed that you can sort of select is as an "activity" in Launcher Pro but it just gives you a shortcut to the widget in like a different dimension and that's not very useful...
Been getting used to Task Manager (an app by Rhythm Software, not the stock one) and it's pretty good. I think by default if you click on the widget before opening the program to mess with the settings it just kills everything which is sort of scary but the settings are easy enough to figure out. Instead of how many programs are running the widget tells you how much RAM is free...same gist I guess!
I don't know if it's the app or some other random thing but the battery life on my un rooted epic drastically increased. I wonder what this program is killing...
Process Monitor Widget
This app is a widget showing how many apps are running and how many of them can be killed based on an user-defined exclusion list.
It is available in Market and still a beta version at this stage.
It has many other features and allows you to record process activities to spot badly behaving apps.
Also can show memory consumption (from SD, internal and live memory) as well as CPU load.
Yea I would like that too. Dont think one widget is worth switching to TW from LauncherPro
Process Monitor as task manager
After many testing, I found out that Process Monitor Widget is more accurate than most other task killers, such as System Panel to name one, which do not take into considerations the deep-sleep time in their calculations!
Indeed you can verify phone/app up-time in the settings/phone info/battery... and in any system panel... After a deep-sleep, the figures are different except in Process Monitor Widget.
Just to let you know
One of the things I miss most from winmo is that, on WinMo, you always can access your 'all programs' drawer from the notification bar/start menu. You could use your phone heavily all day and only see the Home screen once.
I've searched high and low for an Android equivalent, but find nothing. Anyone know of anything?
Closest I've found is multitask manager, it attaches to search button, and let's you put preferred apps in it, but you can't put 'launcher' or 'rosie' in it.
Anyone know what I'm trying to describe? Or have any suggestions ?
Thanks
Also, I just realized this is probably in wrong subforum, toast or MOD, feel free to move it. Thanks. Sorry.

i am not sure the question here. are you saying you want it so that you have to go to the home screen to launch the app draw or are yous aying you dont want to have to go to the home screen to launch the app draw?
I am not sure what you are using but i dont have to go to the home screen to launch app draw. also you may try playing with launcher pro you can set up the dock to have apps on it. i use a combination of app organizer and launcher pro. I have the favorites group mapped to my dock and then i can favorite apps and get to them from that dock button. Works well for me.
I think you can set up the Power Strip app to show your app drawer.

He means he wants a universal way to access the app drawer from anywhere. In WinMo, the start icon / app drawer is always on the status bar.
Yeah, awardtour, you nailed it. Thanks. I see i accidentally used a double negative in my OP, making it confusing.
Yeah, i want to be able to launch my app drawer from the notification bar, or search button (any 'button' that is always present).
I use adw EX and LPP a lot, but have never found a way, within android, to acheive this functionality. If anyone knows, please share. Thank you.

I'm not sure of the name, but I'm pretty sure there's a gesture based app launcher on the market (or maybe here) somewhere that allows you to program a gesture to a app launcher so no matter what you're doing you can swipe the gesture and have an app menu come up. I'll see if I can find it for u.....

Zeam launcher has something like that, but you'll have to be on one of your homescreens though...

Alright, this is what I was thinking of. Create a list of apps, call up via gestures from anywhere.

It actually looks pretty cool. I think I'm gonna buy it. I'll report back and give my opinion
Did you try this app alt. drawer?

Hey, I tried wave launcher, its free on getjar right now. Its EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! !!! Thanks for the suggestions. You can launch the wave no matter where you are (i.e. browser, messaging, app, etc) and and can have the app drawer button on the wave.
Hell, without even using the wave aspect, if you just hold the hotspot for a sec (to launch wave) it'll automagically open app drawer! !!!! Pure awesomeness. Just thought I'd share and thank.

Hi All,
Ive been toying around with the launchers, and i think there real good, only thinng i cant get though, which i thought id ask on here to see if its me being dumb or just dont work.
When using a launcher, can you not use any of the HTC installed widgets? Like sense clock, or weather, i feel when i go to the launcher on my handset half of my widgets disappear, but when in stock home, they are all there...
Anyway i can work around this? I really want to use another launcher other than HTC stock, as i feel they are so much smarter, the only thing holding me back is these widgets issue.
The Launchers i have used are: Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher, and ADW Launcher. Any other launcher that might do the trick?
Thanks in Advanced.

I have kind of the same problem, when i`m using a launcher the mail box shortcut never refreshes the new mail indicator on any of the home screens that i`ve tried, and i`ve tried a lot. I would gladly pay for a home launcher that would make that part work !!!!
If anyone knows of one that actually does it please let me know !
Thanks.

hi guys,
since we are on the topic of launchers. i have a question for the experts here. I am also using DHD. I running LauncherPro. When I first installed it, i set it to default and everything works fine. I press the HOME button it just do what the HOME button suppose to do. I restart or reboot my phone, it just goes into LauncherPro. But after awhile, out of the blue i started having this problem. Everytime I press on the HOME button, my phone will ask me to choose between HTC Sense or LauncherPro. I will tick default and select LauncherPro. The the HOME button will work fine. But after awhile it will ask me to select between the 2 launchers again when i press on the HOME button. Same whenever i restart or reboot the phone.
Tried to clear the default setting in HTC sense but nothing for me to clear. Can be annoying because I really prefer the LauncherPro. Does anyone encounter the same problem as me? Any way to overcome this problem? And also pardon my long winded post.

Is it everytime you restart the phone? Or does it seemed to have had an update. Launcher Pro Plus is the 1 i actually use atm, and i make sure the remember choice thing is checked and never have the problem...
Did any of you notice that when LauncherPro (and possibly other alternate launchers) is active, Settings -> Personalize menu does not work? It just goes back to homescreen. I never noticed it until this morning.
I got a call right after booting my DHD and it rang with one of the default ringtones due to SD card not being mounted yet and my standard ringtone was on it. So I went to check if it was fine once the card was mounted and behold. Then I switched back to Sense and could access the screen.
Yes. It happens everytime I restart the phone. I not using launcher pro plus.
