i hate to be picky. but it seems that all of the live wallpapers out there have one color or even more even have all or mostly black backgrounds that are just too dark to fully appreciate my widgets and icons (beautiful widgets and weather widgets have translucent frames). so what ends up happening is i keep going back to the "nexus" live wallpaper. i love all of wallpapers being developed but i would love to see some more texture and color.
I had that same problem. The only widget I use is the Beautiful Home Widget. What I ended up doing was the Starfield live wallpaper with the "naked" Beautiful Widget skin which actually looks really good.
i use beautiful widgets with naked skin with earth live wallpaper and chose one background of the three it gives. Its excellent.

Yea, i do love the rotating earth live wallpaper but its the exception to the rule.
There is one app called Live Waterpaper....u can make ANY picture from gallery as a Live Wallpaper(somewhat, with ripples).U should try that.
I'm using that one. It's nice and subtle, my favorite so far.

I hate the stock clock/weather widget but I am in love with those full screen weather animations on unlock.
I'm just gunna throw this out there, it would be badass if someone could modify the native htc clock/weather widget to be a 4x1 widget similar to the yr.no 4x1 weather widget. That way people could have the best of both worlds, badass lightning/wiper blades on their screen without the clock taking all that valuable screen real estate!
Wish mine worked....

Go grab beautiful widgets from the market..
you can make it similar to the sense clock but in a 1x4
Right, but then you lose the full screen weather animations when you unlock, right? I was under the impression these were only possible with the HTC widget.
I'm not sure. I know you can get a live wallpaper that shows the weather with beautiful widgets...
What you want, is for the Dev of Cookie HomeTab to make the same for the EVO as he has done for the HD2. Great customization for the sense UI, while still keeping full functionality. Weather animations and all.
I checked it out. Almost makes me want a WinMo device.....almost lol. An android port of that would be amazing. Co0kieMonster's donate button would probably blow up even more if that happened....
i just came over to the Evo from Energy Rom on Windows Mobile. I had cookie on that, and I think it's the ONLY thing (Besides easy wifi tethering) that i miss on my touch pro 2.
Sincerely hoping for a similar clock like the one in CHT for winmo... requested it over at ppcgeeks a while ago with no results.... really miss that also
I was JUST about to post this same request. Now I'll just add to this thread.
I would love a 4x1 and/or 2x1 HTC Clock Widget with the animation functionality.

To those who have used beautiful widgets & live weather wallpaper how does the live weather wallpaper compare to htc's weather animations?
I'm tired of the big clock all together, but love the weather animations. The big clock can look good, but I wear a watch and the time is up top also so what waste of realestate. I'd like to keep the weather widget though (with the animations) so really hoping there will be a way to make it more configurable like Cookie did (more so even -no clock!). Also would really like it if moon phases could be incorporated too.

The live wallpaper looks really good and is really customizable.
My only issue is I don't really like live wallpapers.
The bw widget will show an animation when you tap the weather part of the widget, i would love if there was an option to display that animation over the home screen when you unlock the device. It would be perfect!
If this hasnt already been done, I think it would be a good idea. A weather app with live wallpapers. It's kinda a rip off of sense/beautiful widgets. The idea would be a weather app that based on the weather in your area a live wall paper would display. So if its sunny you have a live wallpaper that is clear with the sun out. Rainy the wallper is raining so on and so forth. If an app exist already please let me know which one and ill delete this post, if not discuss.
If im correct beautiful live wallpaper does what your asking, its in the market.
It looks like it does but it requires beautiful widgets
I love beautiful Widgets with my live weather wallpaper. Highly recommended app.

There are several in the market other than the Beautiful Widgets one. I personally own:
Radar Live Wallpaper - animated radar loop from NOAA by city
Weather Live Wallpaper by Travis Pearson - similar to Beautiful Widgets but imo not as nice of animations
Also, searching for Weather live wallpaper in the market returned 4 or 5 including the one thats packaged in with WeatherBug Elite.
try Animated Weather Pro.
Not a live wallpaper but it's beautiful as it gets.
I guess the developer could step up and make a live wallpaper out of it.
Animated Weather for Android - Weather forecast application. The exquisitely realistic video effects of cloudiness, rain and snow provide the vivid sensation of current or future weather conditions for more than 50000 locations over the world.

Snowfall Full Live Wallpaper
Reacts to time of day with different background views, you can control the snow and the lights on the trees.
Works well in landscape. Very realistic.
I have been using Light Grid Pro the most. Good, frequent updates.
Does anyone notice fairly noticeable lag when you use Live Wallpaper? Is it just standard drag on the CPU?
I get zero lag and I'm on a stock UK ROM.
the only time I face lag when using live walls is when I open up the apps drawer !! it looks laggy !!
anyone know of a similar one to the grass wallpaper that changes though out the day, a moon orbit one would be nice in the cartoony style
Beautiful Widgets

Beautiful Widgets in the Market has a great wallpaper that shows weather, and changes throughout the day. It also lets you select a custom background with the paid version.
So I have the Xoom and was wondering what clock widgets you guys are using? I tried beautiful widgets and fancy widget pro, They both look like hell. The hero clock in black from factory widget looks okay but I am wanting something better. Also any ideas for some good live wallpapers? I have the Auroras and Bluesea. I have light grid pro. Also something better would be good. I can buy as well from market, just wanting to maximize it you know. Also many of my movies are .avi any good players for these as realplayer beta normally do this but not on xoom any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

You can use moboplayer or rockplayer for the videos. As for the clocks and lwp's you will have to pick for yourself what you like. Try reading through the "post your homescreen" thread. Most of the time they list what they use or answer it a few post later. Hey.....its a start.

For live wallpapers, I like jumpgate, any matrix "live wp, and a while back I remember seeing a tech article about a live wp that is a mini 3d globe and was really cool. (Sorry I don't have a name or a link for that one) for clock Widgets, have you tried usng custom skins on beautiful Widgets? You can change the look dramatically with the skins.

I find I like the Aurora LWP. Also I am using the Asus weather widget. As far as every clock I find other than stock clock widget it they are all sized incorrectly. I wish someone could port the clock from Touch Wiz Ux between that and asus weather widget, that would be a sweet combo!

Thanks for the input thus far!
Personally, I like the retro clock and calendar widgets.

You could use TerraTime which is a 3D globe, live satellite map and clock widget. Love it.

Which widget is this?????????? its on samsung phone.
Looks like Beautiful Widgets to me
Looks more like 3D Flip Clock & Widgets.
Looks like fancy widgets, im running it now. Looks identical
im playing with my dinc, 2!
Coming from several HTC phones, I'm looking for this as well. From what I can see, the picture doesn't match any of the suggestions exactly. The clock has the lines in the middle and the weather data is immediately below the clock, in the same "box".
The 3D Flip Clock & World Weather widget has the date and time in that box and the weather below. I don't see any flip clocks in Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets.
Does that one really flip. Cos the one in beautiful Widgets doesn't actually flip.

It might be Fancy Widgets with H7C theme installed. Try it out. You need to buy the full version.
Check out the images for HD Widgets: https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets. I have it and I'm thinking that's the one.

Could you post a link and maybe a picture or screen shot? I searched through the Market and Google and haven't found any Miui clocks that flip and look like the one in the OP.
