I saw the pics from GSM Arena review of the HTC Trophy (a WP7 with Sense!)
The icons used for the Weather/clock app are huge and better than the old good Desire ones
I am wondering how hard will it be to port those weather icons into the Desire Roms for N1?
First thing first could someone ripe them from the Trophy's rom??
I could try to replace the png(s) in the framework file and see if it will work but what about the animations?

You can replace the icons but they will get re-sized as the Fancy Widget (the widget in question) is a 4x2 widget and allots a specific amount of room for the images.
The right xml's need to be edited to make it 4x3 and make extra room for the large weather animations in addition to placing them on the left hand side.

Fancy Widget?
I am talking about the stock Sense weather/clock widget that comes in EvilD and MM roms, you can resize Beatifull Widgets and surelly Fancy widget using ADW launcher, but anyway we still need those splendid weather icons from a WP7 rom

The HTC Sense clock/weather widget is called the Fancy Widget (not to be confused with a new Fancy Widget in the market).
When you re-size a widget in LP or ADW, it simply re-sizes the widget background. The Icons are not re-sized.

[APP] HTC Music for Eclair with Transparent Widget

First off, I did NOT port this app myself, the_fish did and jubeh modded it. i just made the widget a little more "me" :]
This should work on any 2.1 rom without sense, I use it on cm5.0.8-DS
What I DID do though was make the widget transparent to make it look more... beautiful in my opinion. The original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679707&highlight=htc+music
there you will find the original htc music app without the transparent widget.
it is in an ZIP format that can be flashed to the system with a recovery, or you can unzip it and install the APK with a file manager etc.
i hope you like it
I will be editing the widget more in the near future!
as far as I know, the buttons on headphones and bluetooth does not affect this app, it's been this way since it was first ported. If anyone has a fix for this, please enlighten me
other then that, that's the only bug I've run into.
If the_fish or jubeh does not want me posting this, please notify me asap and I'll remove it.
My reason for posting this in a new thread was because I plan on taking the HTC music widget a step farther, and truly beautifying it, such as how the original music mod is.
EDIT: I have now just updated the widget even farther, it is now a 2x4 widget.
Version 3:
transparent_htcmusic2x1v2.zip 1x4 full transparent widget, transparent selectors. This is my favorite one out of the three. Original HTC Icon.

Version 2:
transparent_htcmusic.zip 2x4 full transparent widget, transparent selectors. Original HTC Icon.
Version 1:
transparent_htcmusic.zip 1x4 semi-transparent widget, orange selectors. Jubeh's themed icon.
Can you make this work for phone with sense as well? I have sense but use ADW and would love to have this widget.
Thanks.
does this work on Galaxy S?

[Q] text widgets only look good with ADW Launcher (u8150)

For those of you who own the Ideos u8150:
Have you noticed that the text from widgets such as Minimalist Text and SiMi Clock look bad displayed on your screen? I have tested these widgets using many launchers (default, Zeam, Launcher Pro) and the only one that these widgets look good on is ADW.Launcher. Other launchers show a pixelated dark shadow around the text which looks bad on transparent background. Anyone know why this happens?
My guess is that the widgets were designed for 320x480 screens and the launcher app is having to re-size them to fit the 240x320 u8150 screen. ADW Launcher seems to handle the resizing great while the other launchers don't. Was hoping someone out there knew of a fix that will allow these widgets to look great with other launchers.
My current ROM is FusionIdeos 1.98. This may be the root of the problem but I doubt it.
See my examples:
The first pic is how SiMi Clock looks with default, Zeam, and Launcher Pro launchers. Notice the dark color around the white text. The second picture is SiMi Clock with ADW.Launcher. It looks great with it. No dark pixelated color around white text.

Never noticed this myself, but from your pics the difference can be seen. I think your theory about screen size is correct.

[WIDGET][1.5+/3.2+]BigBattery 4x1 cool widget

In my quest in finding a 4x1 battery widget wich looks cool on my phone and tablet, i could'nt find any.
So i've developed a beautifull 4x1 battery widget wich has a nice and adjustable gradient.
The app comes in two flavours: The free version only includes one widget where the (not so expensive) payed version includes alot more...even a full working binary widget.
The widget runs from android 1.5 up to 3.2 so its very suitable for Tablets too

Great app! But would love to know what launcher and theme u are using?
My theme is not really what makes that homescreen
I'm using ADWlauncherEX with a custom dock image at the bottom.
All teksticons are created with "TextIconCreator for ADW" (you'll find it on the market by that name).
The clock is from "beautifull widgets" and the toggles below the battery are from "Widgetsoid".
all together you can build this kind of screen regardless of wich theme you are using.
Check out Battery XL Pro
DiamondJinx what clock/date widget is that? It is awesome!!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Its called "WP Clock 2.0" I love it
Hey, do you plan to include other widgets or the ability to add my own widget? I love the battery, but would want to try other graphics.
Another one, can you add a third color for the gradient? I have things in mind like moving from black through green to white or something like this.
Cheers

Any good widgets for KF?

I've looked around the forums here and haven't really found anything, and even did some Googling, but the only things coming up as far as tablet widgets were for 3.0+. IDK about you guys but I'm holding out on going up to ICS until the video problem gets worked out, so in the meantime I was wondering if anyone had any good widgets (useful and/or good looking) widgets to share for those of us on CM7 or stock w/ replacement launcher. I've been searching to no avail really, either they are all 3.0+ or just don't look right on the KF's screen.
HD Widgets, I heard it works well on the fire.
idono if it's just me but i installed hd widgets and all i can choose is weather widgets.
For transparent widgets on CM7 in ADW, I'm using Widgetsoid, Glass Widgets (news, calendar/clock, weather), and Free space. If you run GO launcher, you can use the GO Widgets in addition to the many widgets that will work on most launchers. The GO Widgets can be themed using installable theme packs (including transparent themes).

Apex launcher question

I am liking the app so far but I have one problem. I can't seem to find the default widget for weather with the clock when I try to add the widget in apex launcher. Is there a way I can get it or is or disable or something.

I assume you mean this widget:

That clock and weather widget is part of the Touchwiz launcher, and can only be used when using the Touchwiz home launcher, unfortunately Apex can't access it because that clock and weather widget relies on the Touchwiz framework to work which only the Touchwiz home launcher can access.
im not the OP but yes, thats is the one i cant find in widget list once on apex launcher...which makes me sad, all the other touchwiz are there but not the sexy weather one
If you are looking for a good alternative, Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets are both available for a small fee on the Play store.
Word Weather Clock Widget or UCCW are good alternatives.
Thanks for all the suggestions

agreed Beautiful Widgets has something similar
These are some good suggestions for widgets, I've been looking for some good ones to use on CM10. :good:
Also check out HD Widgets it offers great customization options and is optimized for both phones and tablets.
