You know how with the real htc sense widget you have a neat unlock weather animation that shows the current weather? You know how we couldnt have that before? Well guess what!
Beatiful Widgets just released a update that mimics the htc unlock screen effects perfectly! I added a beatiful home smaller widget to one of my secondary screens(carscreen) and have fancy widget as my main one. When I unlock my screen, I am greeted with the htc unlock weather animation followed by fancy widget! SUCCESS!!!!! The stock HTC sense system perfectly emulated on my X!
Fancy Widget and Beatiful Widgets FTW

really?
that looks amazing man. howd you do it?
neveeeeermind I actually found it
This seems like it would use a lot more battery, processor, and memory for little pay off.
U would have to have the Beautiful Widget updating every so often, providing u with the same info that is being updated by the other weather widget. So if u choose every 2 hours, you are really updating weather 2x every 2 hours.
I do everything I can to keep my battery maximized, not cutting needed stuff, but also not adding duplicates.
Just my opinion.

Here are 2 apps that I love on my Nexus that also work on the Evo. Just install with an app like Astro from the SD card.
Download the Genie Widget here
Download the Launcher2 here
Launcher2 is already built into the EVO at launch.
so what is the genie widget?
The Genie Widget is the News & Weather application/widget that's originally for the nexus one. I really like it.

Download Home Switcher and you'll see Launcher2 is the other thing built into the EVO other than SenseUI

Or search google and find out how to disable sense UI then when you hit home it asks you which you'd like to use. But I'll point out that if he is pulling Launcher 2 from CM then it may do the 5 wide plus it had some fixes.
I too like the genie widget but is there ANY way to configure the way the widget looks? I'd really just like to make the background solid black and all the text white. Is this possible? Or make the background transparent and the text black. Either would be great.
My evo didn't come with genie widget. It did come with that news/rss reader that is very similar though. But I like the weather in genie widget a lot more because you are really only one click away from radar and can actually see details about the forecast from within the app. The one that comes with the clock kind of sucks. Just tells the highs and lows but with the genie widget weather you can see what time its going to start raining and stuff like that.

Do you still have this. i have a version of Launcher2 but it's the cube app drawer type and the ADW looking home screen dock. I prefer the older style and i'm wondering if this is indeed what im looking for.
Thanks
Having an HD2, I simply loved what Cookie has down with the look and feel of the UI, my only problem is the phone just sucked, lol. Ok, that was too much, my bad you HD2 owners browsing, but I really like how Cookie made a smaller version of the clock/weather widget for the homescreen. Here is a pic, outlined in red of course lol.

Also, another cool touch was the clock would flip to a new time, here is a video

I even notice some guy with an iPhone hacked Sense UI with a working flip clock, lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=9HLKL4jVu6A&feature=related
Please does anybody know how to get these 2 working on Android?
when i spoke to the dev for beautiful widgets, he said that there were animation limitations in android that prevented the flip motion. not sure if its laziness, or a true statement. the guy seemed pretty solid though, as he did provide me with the uncensored version of BW that he had from before the HTC C&D letter
Hmmm, make sense I guess but just seems weird though. Any other dev can share some light on this?
Anybody else, bump? I think Home++ does this, not for sure, anyway to extrack just the time/weather widget from it?
Here is some pics of Home++ clock/widget
the clock animation is possible on android on the gsm hero they had animated flip clock
They had the animated clock widget on the GSM Hero when it was first released and pulled it with an update cause everyone was complaining about the phone being slow.

Surely there is an .apk or a way to extract it?
Surely someone can port that cookie rom weather widget over...

I find it almost like the HTC Clock only smaller.

Thanks.
Tried it, ran very slow on my Evo, it was a nightmare so I deleted it.

Fancy doesn't have a smaller clock, just the large one.
Beautiful Widgets has the smaller home.
beautifual widgets does the job for me
beautiful widgets doesnt have the white flipclock like HTC , only a dark one that doesnt look veyr good
Fancy Widget looks amazing, just liek the real deal, but I have a problem where the time sometimes gets stuck and you have to refresh it manually
Thanks, I will try it out

What's that Twitter widget called? I'm using the official twitter client but the widget has a white background. Sorry, i'm new so i can't post urls.
edit: Nevermind, found it!
Which app is your favorite weather app?
I'm always using either 1Weather or AccuWeather for Android, just wondering if I'm missing another good one.
Weather Underground is fantastic. Market Link
I have butiful Widgets, weather and I love this. By far the best $$ well spent.
Sent from my DROID
I'll have to check both of those out thanks. Do you see any impact with the widget on your battery?
GoWeather. It's accurate and has 2 nice themes, lucid pro and htc style.
My favorite is 1 weather
Mostly been using Beautiful Widgets, because anything that requires spending more than a few seconds to get the weather is wasting my time. Wish it were easier to get it to refresh, though.
I prefer the htc weather. It gives me vie best weather dates and is looking most beautiful...

Switched for Palmary Weather to BeWeather (can get it from getjar for free). Nicest looking widget. Great animations, very accurate.
Beweather here, you can use beautiful widgets with it as well. Has multiple widgets. Free at getjar.

Currently I'm using 1Weather
Weather Channel's app gets the job done for me.
1Weather. Simple and nice.

Snowstorm.
Easily the most accurate I've used. Tried Palmary, Beautiful Widgets, BeWeather and others - all cone up short re forecasts/temperature.
Beauyiful Widgets never got within 7 degrees....

+1 next to goweather this is the nicest looking widget ive seen so far. is that a live background?
Third-party Android app provider GetJar has offering the venerable widget suite for free under their Gold list of apps. Beautiful Widgets, for those of you unfamiliar, is a spectacularly customizable set of widgets available on the Android Market for $2.75. For those afraid of not supporting the developer through the free download, developer actually gets paid per download, so it’s a win-win all around.

BW Super Clock is the best Android clock/weather widget.
I'm trying to make as sharp as possible HD Xperia clockskin.
Let me know what you guys think about it.

Still a work in progress, but I will probably finish this tomorrow.
Really nice theme but i think the xLED Theme for Fancy Widgets is much better, I'm using it atm...
here is a shot ;-)

Fancy Widget is nice but i like BW more because geolocation for weather is very accurate.
BW is hands down the best weather widget for Android at the moment. Thanks for the promotion info.
As for the skin, the background is great, but you might consider changing the numbers to fit the lockscreen clock or the SE widget from the rom. Cheers!

Yes I think i will make 3 versions with different numbers.
preview ver.2 with the same numbers like stock SE Digital Clock Widget
Just thought to contribute
I made a weather pack from the default SE Weather Widget, and it looks pretty good.
Enjoy, cheers!
