CM7 users are you missing HTC sense and if so, what fills the gaps?

    finally got around to flashing with cyanogenmod7 (was on leedroid before that and stock before that) on my Desire HD but as expected, although there's nothing wrong with it and there's a lot to like about it, there's just a few things not quite right, like the camera app and contacts and a few bits and bobs that i'd gotten used to with HTC sense and i'm thinking i can't be the only one, so does anyone have any tips on replacement apps that fill the sense void and plug those little holes in CM7 for you?

    Launcher pro has the same sleek style widgets such as calendar and bookmarks.

    There is a dialler that works the same as the sense one. Can't remember the name of it but I'd say its in the most downloaded of the dialler apps.

    I think camera fx is supposed to he decent too.

    I'm still on leedroid so don't know the names of all these apps.

    The thing I missed the most was the spinny around clocks for setting the alarm when I left the sense rom so changed back!
    Anyone know if there's an alarm/clock app with a similar GUI?

    Dialer One - Decent replacement for the Phone Dialer on Sense with T9 Dialing (I still think Sense was more polished though for this task) - Dialer One does not have proper picture display for the contacts though (This bug has been open for ages and no sign of a fix)

    Fancy Widget - For combined Weather/Clock

    What do you miss from the Contacts app? I just use the standard one in CM7

    PS. I have the original Desire.

    Go launcher has a nice "contacts/people" widget along with calendar, twitter and facebook (and others). I went from HTC sense to this on the SG2 and love it.

    Went to CM7. Thing I missed most from Sense was the Mail app. Use Pure Messenger. Not as good but did the job and was relatively cheap. However lack of 720p on CM7 annoyed me so moved to InsertCoin. Not as quick or stable but I can put up with the odd quirk.Too ingrained in Sense now.
