So HTC came down on Weather Widgets for looking too much like the original HTC flip clock, and have since released an update that removes said clock, or at least changes the graphics.
Now, I want to flash cyanogens latest, but I don't want to lose my favorite clock widget. I have backed it up using Titanium Backup, is that enough?
I'm an Android newbie and I've never flashed/wiped a device before so I have no idea what Titanium really does, but I assume I can install all programs directly from Titanium/SD Card after Flash, without having to worry about losing my flip clock?
Thanks everyone!
In order to save the HTC style clock widget just back up the folder "prettyweather-googlecode-com" thats where Weather Widgets stores it's skins. Then just put it back on after you flash CyanogenMod.

Thanks for the quick reply!
That folder is stored on my SD card, flashing a mod doesn't affect the SD card does it? So I should be safe?
Absolutely, I just flashed Cyanogen and my flip clock is fine (I also use Weather Widgets.) When you flash a ROM it won't erase anything on your SD card.
Beautiful! Thanks for the help
Beautiful widgets is better then weather widget donate

That's just your opinion and one with which I disagree.
When I had the old version of weather widget I downloaded the default skin with the skin downloader just so I could switch back to it when I was trying a load of others out. If you have that, it works on the new version (or PM me and I might be able to help )

can you help me on this. I've downloaded weather widgets from the market but everytime i put it on my home screen i just see the weather and temp readings. i go to the settings and downloaded some skins like the h7c coz i really like the flip clock (htc style) but then the clock preferences is greyed out. im coming from htc hero and i really like the clock with weather integrated and i want this also in my nexus even if it is just an imitation but i don't know how. Am i missing something?
Hi Guys,
sorry for resurrecting such an old post, but has anybody the .apk for Weather Widgets (yr.no)? I can't find it on the Market (it was still there a few weeks ago). It was the only app which got my hometown correctly.
I'm talking about this one: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/news_and_weather/weather-widgets_ljka.html

The closest I have got to getting the HTC clock widget on the x10 is free widget app on the market called HTC clocks and a weather widget. They are both low rez and look terrible on the home screen. Anyone know if there is a high rez htc clock and weather widget out there? Perhaps taken from the desire?
Look here.
Yes, just download Fancy Widget from Market and you will have exactly like on Desire, Im using it and it is great !
Do you also get the nice weather animations that appear on Desire when you unlock the screen? Windshield wipers on rainy days and so on? Doesn't seem to work here.

As far as i know, you don't have that in the Fancy Widget now.
I think that this is Android 2.1 feature and that we cannot have that animated sun and rain...correct me if Im wrong...but then, I dont see why isnt that implemented in any weather app if it is possible on 1.6 ?
Beautiful home widget looks great. u get an animated weather widget which changes according to the time.
"Weather Widget & Toggle" plus their weather addon is what you're looking for. Identical to the HTC clock in hi-rez and it has the weather animations, lightning, clouds scrolling buy, rain drops with wiper blade etc.
which addon do you mean?

After you install weather widget & toggle, there is a addon for extended weather options. Just hit options inside the weather widget, and there is an option to download the weather addon. This replaces the default screen when you tap on the weather icon on the clock, it opens up a new weather screen that has the kick ass animated weather and forcast.
i tested it, but i like fancy widget more
I use Beautifull Widgets and is working great and has animation just like Desire. I have my X10i and my brother has Desire....

try beautiful widgets...
I used to use beautiful widgets but for the last week or so ive tried fancy widgets. I like the look of the fancy ones as its almost a direct copy from the htc sense one but i found my battery seemed to be dying quicker than normal so ive gone back to beautiful for now to test it.
Anyone else use fancy widget and find their battery going quicker?
HTC is taking down any clock widgets that looks like theirs
fancy widgets, weather forcast, and another app changed their clock designs.
so if you want to get the htc clock i guess you gotta google it and manually install it.
Damn HTC
Fancy widget has no weather icon below the clock, its that 2 days already. What is that ? I have only clock and other numbers but no icon for weather ?
The clock
Hello,
I just installed Fancy Widget, but it seems to be problem with the time.
The clock never updates, weather is working fine.
I did change one settings, AUTO refresh. cuz i dont want to use internet all the time.
I was using beautiful widget and lately it was giving some errors on whether. So I installed fancy widget and remove from kill list.
So far its working fine and I kept 12 hours refresh interval and use manual location instead GPS (it kills battery)
I have no battery impact on both apps and Im happy about it.
With the recent update on fancy widget, it will be discontinued due to HTC behind them on name usage.
It seems that HTC is taking down Fancy Widget now.
Just look here: http://www.anddoes.com/?p=47
So does anyone have an apk file of Fancy Widget v1.2.4 i can download from somewhere?. Yes the widget is free, so it's not warez.

i am currently using the virtuous 2.5 rom and have been trying out skyraider vanilla and wanna switch to it except i cant seem to give up the clock widget. is there anyway to get it on the other roms? i prefer other roms to the stock sense i just cant get over the clock as weird as that sounds.

No not weird at all. I'm the same way. At last some one that understands. I've been using Beautiful Widgets very similar. Not the clock and weather toggle. I bought that and it wasn't quite up to par. No raindrops on the glass or clouds and thunder. Beautiful Widgets was worth the money though. I was going to check this Digital Clock out too. Just haven't yet. If you try it let me know how you like it.

The sense widgets REQUIRE sense framework and the rosie launcher.
There was an app that was pulled from the market called 'Fancy Widget'. All I will say is that it was pulled via C&D by HTC themselves for being 'too similar' to the proprietary clock widget you are looking for.
"Fancy Widget" Google is your friend.

Yeah Fancy Widget is the one run by the Weather and Toggle app you have to buy to make it run. Not really what the sense clock is like. I liked the Beautiful Widgets way better. You can play with different skins till you find one that suits you and the Boca weather skin is just like the sense weather.
Actually. That is not correct. Fancy Widget is different and you can Google it. I use it because you can set if to update more frequently. If the stock app updated every 30 minutes like you can set Fancy Widget to do I would still be using it...

what about other HTC widgets? I would love to use LauncherPro but I have to have the HTC Photo Album widget to show off my new baby girl. I know there are other photo widgets and I have tried almost all of them but none can compare to the HTC. Please help I am sick of using the rest of Sense....
Every HTC specific widget cannot be run on any Launcher except Rosie and cannot be ported without making an exact replica with the same images like Fancy Widget. People need to realize this and stop asking.
There is a separate Widget named Fancy Widget, it was pulled from the Market, because... IT IS EXACTLY the same as HTC clock, they literally copied the images. It is wonderful, a little more flexible, and can be setup to check more often, and launch whichever clock and weather app you choose when you touch.... Only thing it does not do is animations. Google "Fancy Widget apk" and really look as stated prior if you want the HTC clock...
If you want something attractive, slightly different, and still free check out
Weather Widgets (yr.no) http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ermesjo.yr I switch between this and Fancy Widget based on how I am feeling lol
As for anyone missing other HTC widgets... support Launcher Pro and purchase Launcher Pro Plus, the widgets are very comparable... and the guy has written a wonderful piece of software... so pay the 2.99!!
I just downloaded Fancy Widget 1.3 and it is basically the same exact thing as the HTC Sense Clock widget but it allows you to configure what application it launches when you hit the weather icon, date or time. I just installed it and haven't seen if it does the weather animations but I could care less about that.
Hopefully, I'm posting in the right section. If not, please forgive me and move to the right one.
I have Fancy Widget Pro on my phone. The problem is, I want to use 2 widgets from FWPro: the first is a 1x4 clock & weather which I use on the main screen of my Droid Incredible. I have a custom clock skin I made for it and a weather skin i downloaded from the FW market. The second is where I run into a problem - I have 5 Day forecast 1x4 widget on my WidgetLocker Lockscreen. The thing is I DON'T want a background on that one and I also want to create a separate custom weather skin for that one.
In FW Pro, you can set the background to show or not and that setting is applied to every widget. Likewise, you pick one weather skin and that is applied to the weather in every widget.
I'm thinking the only way to actually have separate ones would be to decompile the .apk file for FW Pro and leave all the functionality the same but change any reference to Fancy Widget Pro to a new name (Fancy Widget Extended maybe) to in essence create a new 2nd App that could be installed on my phone. I not quite savvy enough to actually do that, but I'm wondering if I'm correct in that thinking or if someone else has a better idea.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

How can I reinstall the Stock Weather Widget? I thought I saw a deodexed SW package for the charge here somewhere. Would I just need to drag the deodex and APK to the SD card?
Running Gummy and imnuts Kernel currently. Thanks in advance.
It may not be that easy, depending on what ROM you are running you may need the Samsung app that manages their widgets and you then could likely use the deodexed version of the weather widget.
The hard part is we don't have a key or legend to work from if we what the file names equaled we could figure it out.

I'm not sure what the answer is either, but I had always thought that the stock weather widget was some weatherbug widget?
In any case, you should check out Beautiful Widgets. It costs a bit, but it has great weather and clock widgets as well as skinning features.

yep its an absolutely an AMAZING piece of apps. love it except for the fact the weather doesnt update correctly or on time. even though i set it update every hour
yesterday it was p***ing it down in brum, but it says it was 23c and clear
the forecast weather doesnt change in the morning, it takes up to two hours to change. if i want it to change i have to enter my location again
if it have an refresh button or something it would be perfect
