Sense Alternatives for Custom Roms

[kchase731]

Hi everyone. I successfully got Froyo up and am loving the speed. I dont have 4g in my area yet, so i dont miss that. It seems that many were having mms issues, but i used handcent anyway. its working well.

here are thing i miss from HTC Sense, and am wondering if people have alternatives to these features.

Calendar widget in monthly 4x4 mode.
Facebook, images on my contacts. (im not opposed to loading the images via PC to my gmail account if someone has a way to do that)
I downloaded beautyful widgets from the market place...that takes car of the clock and weather animations that i like.
I also really liked the 4x4 favorites widget from Sense if anyone has suggestions. I like that each of my favorites i can define call or txt as the default action, im looking to replace that.

Thanks

And for people use Launchpro plus

I use pure calender for my 4x4 calendar widget. Best one for non sense IMHO.

This should really go in the app section though. A lot of these have already been answered.

How about a voicemail widget, I hate calling into my voicemail, got used to having it download to my evo.
