I recently installed the fancy widget (htc clock/weather) replacing the slot where my timescape used to be. I have four other apps at the bottom so i cant fit timescape in the slot in the middle. The blank space is just kinda annoying for me. is there any good widgets that are useful and fill up space well? (a wide battery widget would be nice)
If you tweet, twidroid's widget should do the trick

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.

My home screen seem to be somewhat empty. On the main one I have the Beautiful Home widget, and to the right I have Switch Widget Pro, and the rest are empty.
Do you guys know of any other good ones? Looking for a good RSS reader, and maybe music player as widgets?
Anything else cool/interesting too
Anyrss reader and mixzing music player....

Am i the only one experiencing big problems with beautiful widgets?
anytime i use it, it slows down all my homescreens like hell (i'm using adw launcher). when i delete it from screen, my phone works smoothly. i tried all settings, refresh rates, etc. nothing helped.
some advice?
I am also using Beautiful Widget with ADW. I use the small home widget and haven't experienced any slowdowns. Try updating the the latest versions of adw and beautiful widgets from the market.
I have only these working fine with Zeam Launcher.

I've been wondering how many of their homescreens do people actually use?
I use LauncherPro on my T-Mobile G2x, and I've only ever felt comfortable with just one homescreen. I find the app drawer to be much easier than swiping screens.
I have over 100 apps so I use all 7 screens.
Sent from my MikG powered Evo
I use all of mine, 2 for news, 1 home, 1 twitter and fb, and one for a 4x4 calender widget
I only use one, and even then I dont use widgets or icons.
I use Launcher Pro and the 3 docks and that does the trick for me.
Love the clean look.
I use adw ex with my screens set to 4x4 and no dock. I kind of use an i phone look with every app displayed on my homescreens so right now im at 6 pages. But i use simplistic black icons and it all comes together great
I'm forced to use at least 6 homes in my sense rom because of widgets, but in aosp rom i used someone less (adw launcher ex FTW! )
3 screens for me.
More widgets
I need more widgets for my homescreens
One here.
I am boring and don't use much of my home screen.
A clock at the top row, and a couple of app icons I use a lot, arranged in an arc that I can reach with my thumb in normal position
I can do my daily tasks on this phone often without even moving my thumb to select, due to the position of the icons
I have 4 but only use 3.

One here using launcher pro with just a beautiful widgets clock and a dock with gmail phone texting and web.use the app drawer for the rest

I use 3, I rather consolidate my apps within folders than spread them across multiple homescreens.
I use Launcher Pro and 5 screens. One for all my rooting/modding apps, one for games, one for frequent contacts, one for tool/productivity apps(no root), and the middle one blank except for the alarm clock app.
Also use all 3 docks.

I use animated Widgets to group similar programs together (all map,navigation; family;messaging) etc and I have it kept to 4 homescreens. I do use and rely on social,task and calendar widgets though.
Also running with Go Launcher Ex or whatever and have frozen/blocked most of the blur/motorola bloatware.

3 screens seems to be the sweetspot.
i like to use that as well.
left for music widget center for weather/calendar widgets and right for appfolders
I use 3-4 on my Dinc, but I like to go either 5x5 or 6x6 for rows and columns. Always beautiful widgets. Ever since cm7 was released, I only use adw launcher ex. For my Nook, I use only one homescreen, and no dock. Both are OCed CM7.

One home screen here. As someone else mentioned, I find the vertical scrolling app drawer easier to navigate than the horizontal navigation of home screens.
Does anyone know of an app that has a widget that operated like the HTC Sense Gallery widget? I recently rooted my EVO 4G and am using CM7. I loved the ability to take photos on my phone, mark favorites, then have a 4x4 widget that let me scroll through pictures (I like to show my friends my pictures of my baby son).
Like I said, all you had to do was switch to that homescreen, swipe up or down to change picture.
I've been looking for a few days now, tried a ton of apps (JustPictures!, QuickPic, Flickr, 3DGallery, etc...) with nothing that comes close.
Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I may have posted this in the wrong forum. If so, I apologize and feel free to burn me...
The closest I've seen is the photo widget on that $15 home replacement app call spb shell 3d or something. Android at its current state does not have scrollable widget support. But replacement launchers do. Something that I think android should've had before these came about.

I really dislike the size of the calendar app
I'd like it to be on my hone page but the 1/4 size of the screen
deters me
Are there smaller icons out there? I love the app and the pc sync capabilty
The size just bothers me
i think your refering to the calendar widget.
pure calender would be another option.
use a launcher with resizable widgets
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Would you care enlightening me to a "launcher that features re-size-able widgets" ?
Thanks for the reply, on the Infused ROM that I had dl'd and flashed? Anyhow, this ROM the calendar icon is a tiny square thing which makes me happy so it is no longer an issue for the time being.
However I will keep that in mind for future references.
Thanks!
