Disregard this poll. I found out how to change the lockscreen wallpaper, and implement live wallpapers in sense. It was a simple oversight. I'll make sure to include this in the final version of thearmo
I like LWPs specifically because of Beautiful Live Weather (free, but requires $2 Beautiful Widgets). It tells you the weather as a LWP.
@HeroMeng, wait, that works on the hero?
sure does.
But I use Logcat LWP.
Way more cool.
hmmmm, gonna have to give it a try then. and i just got my phone to perfection.

I love the WIPER effect of the weather widget of the Desire ROM. Is there a way to push the widget into a CM ROM ?
P_
i dont think so, but there is Beautiful widgets and weather widgets on the app market. they have htc skins.
Get the Flip Clock with Weather app (called Weather Widget) from the market and it looks like the HTC Weather/Clock widget and when you click on the Weather display, if it is raining it does the whole raindrops with wiper and all that stuff.
Worth getting the donate version.
Both apps don't do anything automatically though you have to click them. Stock home doesn't support animated widgets yet.
I hope it could be in Cyanogen... I love sun animation when I unlock the screen
Any updates on this? I see that the camera has been ported over so Im sure this can be ported over!

I don't believe it's possible to port over the HTC weather widget because it requires the Rosie framework (which is unique to HTC).
Beautiful Widgets had been making good progress on this up until December of last year when they received a C&D letter from HTC. So now any design/revision has to be approved by HTC first. Unless a developer here is willing to undertake this task don't really see something identical to Sense coming to fore.

Oh well, in the mean time I DL the donate version and very satisfy with it =)
I was using beautiful weather but recently switched to Weather Widget... it's much cleaner nicer looking and I like how you can bind the clicks to the regular clock and the 2.1 weather app... not sure if u can do that on the beautiful one too or not but config and everything else is just nicer on weather widget... well worth the $$.
Not sure if this is a port or a complete code-from-scratch but either way it looks very much like the htc weather/clock.
You can also try doing a search for Beautiful widget 2.35. This was the last version before HTC made the developer change it.
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!
Looking for a clear glass style digital clock with weather kind of like sense but a bit smaller. Anyone post any cool screens of one?
try downloading beautiful widgets or fancy widgets.
I dont have any screens but I think thats what you are looking for.
hope this helps
Also, depending on the ROM you are using, Browse through the Themes section for "Riptide9's ColorNClear" Theme. There are some screenshots in there of the clear clock he uses. The Theme looks great, and there is a list of confirmed ROMs that the Theme is working on... Just to add, in the list it shows working on Baked snacks 1.25, I am running it on 1.3 and it works flawlessly.
Cant believe i forgot about RIP's theme...

I saw that... Doh!!!
Beautiful Widgets has a "smaller home" that is 4x1 and compatible with all of the other themes. You can also set the background transparency to a percentage and assign short cuts to the clock, weather, and date.
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.
I'm running Fresh 2.1.2 with Live Wallpapers installed. I unlock my phone, and when the Weather Wallpaper runs, it force closes the Live Wallpaper and replaces it with the default one.
What I'm looking for is either a replacement clock that looks exactly like the original HTC one without the Weather Wallpaper, or some way to disable Weather Wallpaper so it doesn't FC the Live Wallpapers. (I've looked in the weather app itself, and I don't have the option to uncheck it. It just isn't there.)
Feel free to get technical with it. Just direct me, and I'll do it. I just don't know where to look to disable Weather Wallpaper, if there is a way.
Thanks in advance for any help.

im not sure what u mean about weather "wallpaper"..
also, Fresh 2.1.2 hasn't been supported for a long time now, so trying to find answers for it would be quite difficult... have u thought about updating your ROM to something newer??
lastly, not trying to be rude, just organized, but this should be in the Q&A section.. your more likely to get ur answers there sense people go in there specifically to ask and answer questions.. this is the themes and apps section, for posting new themes and apps.. most people look right over questions here, cause this isn't the section for it..
Weather Wallpaper is the weather animation that shows the current weather when you unlock the phone.
Crap... Is there any way of putting this post over to the Q&A section?

oh ok.. i wouldn't really consider that wallpaper.. wallpaper is normal referred to as your background image.. that would just be your weather app..
you could not use it and use something like beautiful widgets.. well worth it over the sense app.. im not running sense, but i also believe theres a way to disable it, something about weather animations need to be unticked... not quite sure..
but check out beautiful widgets or weather & toggle widget (both are paid apps, but well worth it)
Remove the clock/weather widget from your homescreen and then readd it. It will give you the option to disable fullscreen animations.
omfg... THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to get that figured out since I put Fresh on here. ty ty ty
