[APP] [REQUEST] Changing Weather Live Wallpaper

If this hasnt already been done, I think it would be a good idea. A weather app with live wallpapers. It's kinda a rip off of sense/beautiful widgets. The idea would be a weather app that based on the weather in your area a live wall paper would display. So if its sunny you have a live wallpaper that is clear with the sun out. Rainy the wallper is raining so on and so forth. If an app exist already please let me know which one and ill delete this post, if not discuss.

If im correct beautiful live wallpaper does what your asking, its in the market.

It looks like it does but it requires beautiful widgets

I love beautiful Widgets with my live weather wallpaper. Highly recommended app.

There are several in the market other than the Beautiful Widgets one. I personally own:
Radar Live Wallpaper - animated radar loop from NOAA by city
Weather Live Wallpaper by Travis Pearson - similar to Beautiful Widgets but imo not as nice of animations
Also, searching for Weather live wallpaper in the market returned 4 or 5 including the one thats packaged in with WeatherBug Elite.

try Animated Weather Pro.
Not a live wallpaper but it's beautiful as it gets.
I guess the developer could step up and make a live wallpaper out of it.

Yeah this is an awesome weather app!
I really hope they could figure out a way to integrate this with a widget, or even live wallpaper for the go launcher.
A neat note on this, if you use the video livewalllpaper, these videos work great with it and are stored by the app on your sdcard.

Excellent! Love it!
And runs totally smooth on my hero.

I already send you an email, I entered my place and the application found it, but when I applyed it, a place 30 miles away showed up.
Also I am not a big fan of the short video, everytime it will repeat itself it shows a white flash for a tenth of a second....which happens often as it is a very short video...
I am extremely satisfied with GO Launcher and GO Sms, but GO weather really needs some improvement before I will give up Palmary Weather.
Cheers,
Arnold

Realy Nice new Update !!!!
Is it possible to add an Configuration Screen for the Live Wall ?
It would be nice if i have the possibility to hide/unhide some Informations on the Wallpaper.
At the Moment it looks a little bit overloaded

Love it! Fahrenheit doesn't want to stay. Keeps switching to Celsius. Also, I love GO SMS, GO Launcher, GO Weather, and I really want you guys to release GO Browser (translate it to english asap!!)

looks very nice!
one thing would be great:
right now you are storing data at /sdcard/xweather/
it would be great if you could honor the Android documentation [1] and store your all data (*.mp4) at /sdcard/Android/data/<package_name>/files/
this way my sdcard stays clean and your app gains karma

[App] Animated Weather Widget

Have tried many weather widget apps before. Many are good, with HTC Sense-like UIs, but I have to say my favorite one thus far is the animated weather widget. I currently have the free version installed and am extremely happy with the stability, usability, and overall effects. I originally tried out out because my old one kept crashing and testing its configuration. I would have been happy with something stable (which this has ben so far), but I have to say that I was blown away by the effects and amount of detail within the forecast app. Pretty happy so far, will have to see what pro has to offer.

very nice weather app

I found it to be great, although if there happen to be a lot of alerts, it seems to drain battery faster than normal.

this is pretty sweet.

Coolest of the COOL!
We all have these Smartphones with great graphics, super fast processors, and a whole bunch of other cool **** - but having Android and a cool phone is just the beginning.
Who ever hasn't tried AND LOVED Animated Weather is really missing out the coolest of the cool weather apps with incredible scenes for each weather scenario! My wife gave up her i(DUMB)Phone so she could take over my EVO with A/W on it.
Pardon the pun, butt, she saw how cool it is when a storm BLOWS in and either rains like hell or howls up a blizzard. She lives and dies for any change in the weather so she can see it in the forecast inside.
Hey THANKS A/W, the more cool stuff you bring to the app the more I get [email protected]#$%^_)(*&^%...I get, you know what I mean!

great
this is really a good widget to have

I really wish that HTC had a 4x2 or 4x3 weather widget

Wouldn't it be nice if HTC had a weather widget that was 4x2 or 4x3? I hate that they have 3 sizes, one thats huge and dislays all of the information, and a 2x2 and 2x1 that both only display current temp, high/low, and a picture, I mean the 2x2 should AT LEAST display a little bit more information than the 2x1 right?! Anyway anybody know of a modded HTC weather widget like this? hehe

just download Beautiful Weather and Palmary or Snowstorm... There are quite a few great weather apps out there.

I love Snowstorm, but the GPS is sketchy and not always that accurate, and doesn't beautiful widgets have a clock on all of theirs too?

Beautiful widgets has several different styles of widgets. The one I use is 4x1 and displays a 5 day forecast with high/low temps.
Its pretty nice. Lots of different skins.
Heres a screen shot

Oh, nice. What weather source does beautiful widgets use? Does it seem to be reliable and accurate?

You can use google or some other one, which I cant remember. Seems to be pretty accurate. Sometimes, it shows me in the next city, but the borders are pretty close.

You can choose between Google and Accuweather.
It's always seemed pretty accurate for me and it's easy to skin yourself or grab quite a few skins from within the app.
Well worth the couple bucks.

I liked the widgets a lot, I think this is the first weather app to have this beautiful widgets I think this is the best part off course with the clean overall design. It would also be great if you could add more weather providers, and and maybe in the future a version without adds.

Thank you, glad you like the app! We will release a pro version without ads really soon, we are also working on a theme gallery, so you can choose what you like

Looks very promising. What I'm missing is the ability to click the widget to open the app / clock / etc. Do you plan to integrate something like that? And localisation
Where do you get the weather data from? Any chance to implement hourly weather forecast in future?

Hi! Sure, we can add the option to open the clock app etc. The weather informations are provided by dark sky. What do you mean by "localisation" ? If you mean to find your position by the gps, the feature is already available, just turn on your gps and open the app

Of course, but now we are focusing on adding the missing features and make the app more stable. Translation will be added after that.

How to add widgets to home screen..?? I can't find the tutorial

It's simple. I suggest you to use a custom launcher, so you can resize the widget as you want, but you can use the widget with a normal launcher as well.
Go the homescreen long tap on a empty area then select "widgets" search for "Overdrop" and add a widget then the list will appear after that so you can choose the widget you want

Does this have the ability to add temp into status bar?

Hey Brekane,
Great app my dude. Looking forward to that amoled black theme. I do have one request. You use dark as the data source, and I was wondering if you could implement the Hyperlocal data. That being the days used in the little box on the Arcus weather app. It says where the closest precipitation is, and how long it will be for before it rains within the hour forecast.
Example: light rain staring in 50 mins. See attachment.
