Weather - Droid X Themes and Apps

#1
How do I get the city to update as I drive around? It is stuck to city I picked when I activated the phone?
I am using the Motorola preloaded weather app. I have not downloaded anything from the market yet.
#2
IF I do a rest to factory will I loose all my contacts?

#2 - Not if you sync w/ Google.

#1 you don't. You can add multiple cities and manually change them as you go, or you can download either the weather channel or weather bug apps as they do a much better job.

Make sure you have your weather setup to use the phones location not a zipcode.

How do I set that up? On the Dinc it was in your face and easy. On this thing it has lie 3 sub menus for every dam thing.
OK I am looking t it right now where is the option to use phone /gps location not zip I must be missing it.

Bump! This would be helpful to know being a newbie Droid guy.

I say just drop the motoblur crap n download fancy widget or beautiful widget, looks like htc sense clock widget with: temp, location & time all in one.

How exactly did you set yours up? Don't see an option for it
Install latest maps update and choose maps in live wallapers. Very simple.

Check the market for the latest version of Maps... 4.1 will leave a new Live Wallpaper to utilize...
Shouldn't be that hard

Thanks, I was looking inside the maps application. Didn't realize it was added to live wallpapers.
Tapping on the maps wallpaper zooms in. Is there a possibility to zoom out again. Cannot find a way.

Yeah, I noticed this too...
only way i managed was to go back to live wallpaper, select the map. Once there by pinch/zoom motion i finally managed to zoom out though took a bit of trying.
needs a fix

Tap with two fingers to get it to zoom out.
Tried to update mine, but I'm getting an error, package file incorrect. I'm on Modaco's custom alpha 15.
Can't get mine updated as I could even find the map...sigh in Malaysia by the way anyone got the apk
Looks like the map wall paper does not use the GPS to find the location. The location on the wallpaper is far off from the correct location. Is there a way to make it use the GPS?
i updated and no live wallpaper...
Hi,
I wonder, will this also work with HTC Sense on my Legend??
Cant find an option called "live wallpapers "

needs 2.1. so it is only working on the nexus one for the moment
I got mine working on a rooted HTC Hero running Damage ROM. It's pretty cool I must admit however I can't zoom out like someone mentioned earlier and it takes the speed boost from the 2.1 upgrade back around the speed of Fresh 1.1. It's cool though, although I feel I will be switching back in forth to my Sense.
Single tap with two fingers to zoom out
Double tap with one finger to zoom in
Crashes sometimes...
Please don't resurrect dead threads.
Thank you.

Smooth calendar or grid cagebdar are neat. 3g watchdog (monitors your data usage) and apn Droid (disables and enables 3g data) are both useful if your data plan isn't unlimited. And genie widget is also quite good and has a nice app to go with it (news add weather) though you'll have to Google that one as it isn't on the market.​
any suggestions for Messeage widget?Mail Widget? and Photo album widget?

Try Pure Messenger for the message/mail/texts
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a widget collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject? this is not the oldest thread on the subject, but the one with the most generic subject and maybe it could be turned into the last of it's kind...

I like the Ted Zkeletal clock widget, it's a nice change. It is quite large though.
Hi, anyone.

you download from the market, then add the widget by long pressing the screen? of course you need to have sufficient space for it.
What version did you use? I just download 1.8 and the weather icon doesn't show up....

Cyanogenmod - Please list replacement apps here

What is a good replacement for the apps that worked on 2.1
HTC Facebook.
Swype - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687056&highlight=swype
I forgot I had to go into the system settings to enable Swype. I thought it would turn itself on by default so I could just select it from a long press in the search box.

Depending on what you want it for or how you use it; Socialite or SyncMyPic work best to mimic what could be done in sense with HTC Facebook.
Good post. I've been hunting to find a good gallery program to replace the 3d gallery. I tried just removing the 3d gallery apk from system/apps but then I cannot set a wallpaper (I wouldn't care of even having a "gallery" program but it seems like i cannot set wallpapers without it... i'm fine just using estrongs file manager to browser pics).

I originally posted this in the wrong thread, but flickie doesn't seem to do it. First off, its primary focus seems to be finding new wallpapers (and not to browse images already on the sd card).. secondly, it uses the same 3d gallery thing as the 3d gallery thats included in cyanogen. Am I missing something?
EDIT: Ok.. I think i'm just on crack... everything is working as I want it to now... who knows. I usually screw up more than I care to admit
I do think the 3d gallery is neat, but I like simple usually. Its suddenly allowing me to just use a file manager to browse my photos and set as wallpaper... wasn't allowing me earlier.
On a side note, I think i'm gonna keep that flickie program installed. I do like being able to find some other neat wallpapers by category. So thanks for the recommendation
I think the official Facebook sync is supposed to be fixed very soon.

I've just been using touch.facebook.com in browser.
One cosmetic question i can't figure out being used to Sense - is there any way for the icon to display the number of unread texts or emails instead of it just showing up in the notification bar?
god i wish there was a way for someone to pull and post the htc mail apk its so much better.

Froyo DOES have fb sync. Not working 100% on cyan right now. There are fixes over in the thread in development. One of which involves editing the build.prop

Try launcherpro. Shows these notification numbers in the taskbar.
for those of you wanting a home clock with weather replacement like sense's, beatiful widgets home looks very much the same, only you can skin it however you would like. there are dozens and dozens of available skins.
Or get chomp sms for your texts. I think it's much better then stock messaging anyway.

I use Google voice for VM and texting. Works great except for MMS, which is a GV limitation at the moment.

There was an issue with facebook sync on the hero build as well. Someone posted a fix there. I was going to try it out later.
handcent now has a small widget that looks like a small app that will show a number with how many texts you have unread
Anyone know of a way to get facebook calendar events into a calendar on CM6; a la HTC Facebook for Sense? I tried some Facebook Birthdays events or something that worked for about 20 minutes then corrupted everyone on reboot.

Home desk problem

The weather next to the clock does not change. Anyone else have this bug? I have removed my city and re added it and it still has the same temp and weather. If I go yo accuweater in the app it is correct.

Mine is having problems, but not sure if the same one. When I go into Daily Briefing the weather just keeps trying to load, followed by a forceclose. I will keep an eye on the main Home Dock screen to see if it changes.

I think it's some kinda outage because mine stopped working as well. I think it happened late Fri night or Sat. If you go to the app drawer and select weather (the HTC app, not News & Weather, Accuweather, etc.) and hit the update button, it'll show no data as well (see the screenshot below). Now, question is, who do we burn at the stake, Sprint or HTC…?*
I was just googling it right now, cause I have 2 Evos, one stock, one rooted Myn's and both have the weather problem.
Mine is back. Yay! I did one of my "daily reboots" and weather is back now.

[Q] How to Get the Stock Moto Weather & News, Weather Widget

[Q] How to Get the Stock Moto Weather & News, My Gallery, My Music, Weather Widget
So I am about to upgrade to the new SuperCharged V6 thanks to our amazing devs but I kind of want to keep the stock Motorola My Music app (since it has nice internet radio and FM radio), the stock My Gallery (since it has built in editing), and the Weather widget (the one that uses Accuweather but has a cool bluish theme and is really nice). I am a noob, so can anyone tell me a way I could extract those or find them somewhere so I can install them onto the new ROM?
Edit: Sorry guys now that I have finally gotten SCv6 setup enough to be a daily driver, I have found that the My Gallery and My Music have been retained! I don't know what got into me when I created the thread (probably was thinking about Bullet?).
The Weather and Weather & News widgets have not been retained, however, so that is what I'm wondering about now.
I dunno about the weather widget since I don't think that I've ever used it, but My Music and My Gallery are preserved, so I don't see why a widget wouldn't be.
Can you not pull just those apps from a stock-based rom that has them included, and place them into the app folder within SCv6?

I was just in the hospital playing on my phone. I deleted Go Launcher and opened an app I found called Blur and it when through setup and threw me on the original moto blur launcher.
Sorry I was pretty drugged up and I cant remember the steps clearly...
so dont take my word for it.

I got stock Blur launcher working through Home Switcher, but that would probably not help if the original widgets were removed from the ROM. Thanks though!
