Using HTC widgets without running sense

Is it possible to use the HTC widgets on the Eris without running sense? If I use home switcher to run the stock android interface on the Eris, I am unable to use any of the HTC widgets, you just can't add them. I prefer the look of the stock Android home interface, but I stil want to use the nice HTC Sense widgets. Does anyone know how to do this?

There is a way to get the direct widgets from Sense UI and have them ported on to your Android device. Now, the way about going about them, I can't speak about on these forums.

Regardless, you have a lot of alternatives that can bring you more or less the same experience;

Beautiful Widgets from LevelUpStudio's has a messaging and Clock Dock widget.
I know that there are other Hero Clocks that can simulate the real HTC clocks really, really well.
Twidroid offers a good widget that's not quite the same as HTC's fabulous Peep widget, but it works.

If you could let me know in an e-mail or private message that would be awesome. Perhaps I forgot to mention that I already own an Eris. I don't want to put HTC Sense widgets onto a Motorola or the Nexus or anything. I already have the Eris, I just want to be able to put the Sense widgets on the home screens when I'm using the stock home android interface. HTC Sense is still installed, it's just disabled.

I don't want to use 3rd party widgets that sort of look like Sense widgets when I already own a Sense phone. That just seems kind of silly. The widgets are already there, it just won't let me get to them in the stock home interface.
