high rez HTC clock and weather widget

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.

Is there any weather app like this?

Hi,
Do you know any weather app that does not have running service?
Yes, weather forecast app that can pull data "manually" ...
No need periodic / interval update ...
Widget is not necessary either ...

Moved to Q&A BW, Fancy widget, and even the default news and weather app has this I believe

Most have these "features" and I don't really like that either. I've noticed that most of them will let you change the frequency that they pull info. Some down to 12 hours.

Fancy widget has lots of refresh options. One of them being to only refresh weather manually.

Thanks for all the suggestions. At the end, I ended up with (again) Beautiful Widget 1x1 (I already bought this when I use HTC Desire).
The reason that I want to find this kind of weather app, because I want to limit the number of running (background) services.
So, I replaced the Beautiful Widget Home widget with "simiClock" because it is simple, elegant and uses black background (save battery life).
simiClock has weather info as well ... But it does not have forecast.
That's why I was looking for weather app which can be activated (launched) when I press the simiClock weather.
But, it seems I cannot find one ... The one with update/interval can be controlled (I am not weather obsessive guy, so manual update is the best for me).
At the end, I am back with Beautiful widget weather 1x1 ... until I found a nice weather forecast app to launch from simiClock

I purchased the Weatherbug Elite. It has the options to turn off the background processing and only grab weather data when you run the app.

it's unfortunate, but i'm running into the same situation
i want to disable the back ground processing of the weather app that i like, but the app doesn't have such a feature/option
the app is supplied directly from The Weather Network, and it's very accurate, all the other apps that i've tried before are not so great

Try WeatherPro, best weather app imo

try Fancy widget... you'll love it! great app

Moxier World is by far the best I've found.
It updates either automatically or manually.
It also shows local time and weather in as many world locations as you need. It has 5 days forecast for each.

it has a background process
yes, it is nice, it's what i'm using

Try this out. It has an option to set update interval (or disable update entirely)

Best weather apps/widgets?

What are the best Weather apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!
Looks like Beautiful Widgets will take the win here, but I'm sure many will want another app/widget that's free.

weather bug--free

For Weather you are spoilt for choice.
Besides what has already been mentioned there's:-
eWeather HD Widget & Barometer ~ £1.85
Palmary Weather Pro ~ £1.85
Weather Pro ~ £2.13
Go Weather ~ Free
...... and many, many others which I will leave for someone else to add to.

i used optimus x2 weather widget..
its called today briefing..

I'm by no means well-versed in weather apps as I'm only starting to play with them, but these are my observations so far. Accuweather has nice icons that I like but keeps force closing on me. Hope that will be fixed soon. Genie news and weather is good too, you can choose to display just weather.

Beautiful Widgets is my choice. Fully customizable with downloadable skins for Clock, Weather, Battery widget, and Toggle Widgets.
Press the weather area and it will launch your choice of Weather App *I use WeatherBug Paid (I try to support if its a mainstay)* the Radar can be slow though but it works..
Press the Time spot and will launch you choice of Clock or Alarm. *I use Gentle Alarm*
Press the Date area and will launch your choice of Calendar. *I use Jorte*
All of that is customizable. For instance if you wanted to you could config it to launch Angry Birds on press of any of above or any other app or shortcut of your choosing.
I love the Animated Weather effects. though last week during Snowpocylpse here is Chicago area I thought the drifting was a bit overkill... LOL

Basic weather widget help..

Can anyone suggest a weather widget, or even know of one, that is JUST the picture/graphic of the weather? I'm going minimal these days with my homescreens and need something to match. Seems every widget has a clock or forecast for the next couple days, etc. I simply want, if its sunny, a sun. If its raining, rain drops etc.. I've seen similiar ones for the moon phases etc, but can't seem to find anything for weather..
Any help? Thanks folks..

Well am not sure this is rom related but if you going into the widget selector and scroll down to weather there are 3 of them in there with 2 small ones.
You don't say if you even bothered to look at the phones selection of widgets.

These are from beautiful widgets. You can turn off the background so all you get is the weather. It's in the market if you want it.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.

Thank you ^
Going to check it out in a few. Wonder if I can edit that to remove the text(temp, high/low) somehow. Is it simply removing a line of script in the file does anyone know?

BW has an lwp that displays just the weather.
Sent from my time waster.

Weather bug has a nice small widget.

As I said with the stock weather widget you get several small ones. This is the smallest on that is available without having to buy anything.

simi clock has a minimal weather widget too.

Weather Widget That does what Im looking for.

I want a weather widget that has videos playing in the widget that show the condition of the weather. Kind of like the Samsung or LG weather widgets. I know Yahoo Weather does static images but I want Video. Is there any type like this that will work with any launcher. IE Nova???

BUMP

I haven't come across exactly what you are looking for.
What I suggest, however, is using live weather wallpapers. They serve the same purpose that you want but in a slightly different way.
Here are a few examples:
Weather Wallpaper by yitiaocailHM
Weather Screen by Hamster Beat - it's not free though
Animated Weather Widget, Clock by Mobilityflow Publishing - they list animated widgets under features in development
Unfortunately I can't provide links as I haven't reached my 10 post limit yet.
Vitesse.

BUMP Until I get a answer

What phone do you have and what android version.. Might help you get some answers..

In his case (as in my case too), phone/android version is irrelevant because we want a weather widget for a 3rd party launcher and NOT for a propierary launcher with a propietary dependant weather widget (like samsung weather widget, or xperia weather widgets that are only compatible with their propietary launchers...)
Anyway... answering myself, i've found two widgets that does exactly what we want, but they can be very laggy without a potent phone
--> FineWeather Widget
--> Animated Weather Widgets
Both in play store
