HTC Weather/Clock App

Hey guys, so i was wondering if there is a way to get the HTC weather/clock app on our phones?
Did a forum and internet search and nothing came up. I certainly can't convert it over myself cause i don't know the first thing about modding phones or apps or widgets. Figured i would ask around and see what the consensus is!
Also, if it is possible, and i understand it is a newer phone, but i really like the widget from the new LG phone on verizon. Pic below is of the widget on that new LG phone!

Download Fancy Widgets, upgrade to the paid version, go into appearance settings, clock skin and download the h7c skin and apply it. Also, change the clock type to flip clock and you're set.

fancy widgets or beautiful widgets

I've tried fancywidgets and beautiful widgets, and they are very very similar, but I preferred beautiful widgets. Beautiful seemed to run better for me. Appearance wise, they are basically identical.

agreed. i love beautiful widgets.

Beautiful widgets is free to try. Search beautiful widgets lite in the market. If you want to customize more, then buy it; but if you just want the htc look, lite should be enough

New to xoom a couple questions?

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,
Shokouhi

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.

[Q] HTC One X and Theming

Hey everyone! So I switched from an iPhone 4 to the One X about 2 weeks ago and so far, the HTC is a beast! ALMOST no regrets switching (although the google play store lacks in certain areas). However, I'm pretty big on customization and my iPhone was jailbroken and all tricked out with different themes. So far, I haven't found the degree of customization that was available on the iPhone for the android. For instance, one big thing I noticed is that the notification bar on sense (or in general actually) is tightly integrated with the ROM, so you would have to make your own ROM to customize the notification bar, as opposed to changing images on the iPhone.
There are quite a few launchers available on the Android, which makes changing icons, docks, and lockscreens more centralized than on the iPhone which is a nice plus. So what do you like to do with your android? Do you hook it up with some themes, spice things up a bit, or keep it stock/vanilla? I'm thinking of developing themes, that's why I'd like to get your feedback.

You don't need to create a Rom to theme an android device most of the status bar icons are in the systemui apk you can use an app like 7 zip open the apk as an archive navigate to res drawable-hpdi folder you find all the battery, data WiFi icons in there find the icons you wish to replace them with size and name them appropriately and drag and drop new icons into the folder then push apk back to the phone. You could also try a Rom like miui aokp or cm9 which has tons of pre made themes available.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that later. I have tried the CM9 mod as well as the MIUI one, however they still have certain features missing (Sense camera along with 4G LTE). I'm just wondering what launchers/lockscreen apps you guys use and whether you pay for them or not. I have a GO Locker theme on the market right now, but I'm still wondering if that's the most popular lockscreen. I'd appreciate people's opinions on theming, whether they look at the play.store for them or elsewhere.

You could look in MyColorScreen.com to have an idea of what can be done on android customization. You will find some great work that people have done to there phones and what apps they use as well as wallpapers and icon packs.

Your welcome and I use adw ex launcher. Widget locker and MiLocker for lockscreen replacements. If you click the AAA logo in my Sig I'm a cofounder of the group android augmentors anonymous there you will find some great screenshots as well as resources that members have have shared.

Ah thanks, that's really what I was looking for. I've tried ADW EX launcher and I really liked it, but right now I'm using GO Launcher just because it has a few more effects features than ADW. And man, so many screenshots in your group! Probably one of the best Android groups I've seen on deviantart!

WTB: Time in Words LWP

Howdy folks,
I'm looking for a live wallpaper that displays the time in words. I see apps that will allow it, but no live wallpapers. There are live wallpapers that have clocks, but none are verbose. Most are just widgets.
I'm looking for something like this.
Ideally I'd like to be able to use my wallpaper image, or select from others.
Did I miss one in the Play Store or in this forum? That doesn't suck?
Thanks!

Any cool dark wallpapers?

i originally posted this in the wrong forum so I'm reposting it here.
I've been using a pure black wallpaper to save battery but I'm kind of bored of it. You guys have any good looking dark wallpapers to share?

My personal wallpaper

Here's one I got from another thread:

Mi wallpaper

Download zedge from the Play store. Has the best collection of wallpapers and ring tones /notifications I've ever seen. They're free and you can search by "dark" or (as I did) "black." I found a lot of incredible black wallpapers.
