Hopefully, I'm posting in the right section. If not, please forgive me and move to the right one.
I have Fancy Widget Pro on my phone. The problem is, I want to use 2 widgets from FWPro: the first is a 1x4 clock & weather which I use on the main screen of my Droid Incredible. I have a custom clock skin I made for it and a weather skin i downloaded from the FW market. The second is where I run into a problem - I have 5 Day forecast 1x4 widget on my WidgetLocker Lockscreen. The thing is I DON'T want a background on that one and I also want to create a separate custom weather skin for that one.
In FW Pro, you can set the background to show or not and that setting is applied to every widget. Likewise, you pick one weather skin and that is applied to the weather in every widget.
I'm thinking the only way to actually have separate ones would be to decompile the .apk file for FW Pro and leave all the functionality the same but change any reference to Fancy Widget Pro to a new name (Fancy Widget Extended maybe) to in essence create a new 2nd App that could be installed on my phone. I not quite savvy enough to actually do that, but I'm wondering if I'm correct in that thinking or if someone else has a better idea.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Hi,
actually i have a Desire with the Cyanogen Rom @ Nexus Style so i think my question is @ the right forum.
I like the stock news + weather widget, but i can not find a clock which look similar.
What i like to have is the Lockscreen Clock + Date on the News&Weather widget background. Somebody saw something like this? I tried several clock apps and of course beautiful widgets, i did a skin for beatiful widgets with the same background but i can't ged rid of the weather there
Is it hard to do such an app? Anyone out there who want's the same and is probably capable of doing such an app?
See the attachments plz. Postet 1. the background, 2. the clock, 3. what it should look like (with the proper background of course ).
Get "Beautiful Widgets". It has what you are looking for
Ok guys, I got a question.
I got an HTC Desire HD and I'm using Launcher Pro Plus. But I really want the original HTC sense flip clock on my homescreen. The one that starts flipping when you unlock your phone or when time changes..
Could someone help me?
Thanks!
Use Fancy Widget from the market
Or search for Fancy Widget 1.3.0, which contains the HTC flipclock theme.
Fancy Widget (the original version) looks a lot like the HTC Sense Flip Clock, with one major distinction: the clock doesn't flip. To me, that's the whole point of having a flip clock...to enjoy the flip animation.
as far as i know in the market there is no flip clock that actually flips. a shame though.
so you set there and stare at your screen to watch it flip? why not get weather donate its go a flip clock you can theme
Ok thanks guys, it seems there's no nice good working flip clock available =( Hope it will come soon!
Weather & Toggle Widget
Check out Weather & Toggle Widget on the Market, I use it and really like it, especially because of the skins.
I've been playing around in the sdk for a while now and I'm not so good at programing or anything, but I did manage to make a few clock widgets that I would consider very nice looking (I'm somewhat decent at photoshop).
Now, I know how make an apk with the widget, and I'm pretty sure I know how to put multiple widgets in a single apk (although I haven't tried yet)
I have noticed that some apps that have more than one widget (like google voice, or twitter) will say "(2 widgets)" underneath the name and allow me to choose which one I want after click the name.
How would I implement this in my own app?
summary:
I want to create a pack of clocks (4 clocks). on the widget menu it'll be called "clock pack" (I haven't thought of the name yet) and when you click on that it'll give you a choice of which clock you want, each clock with a unique name and possible a unique icon; would it be possible to give each a unique icon?
thank you in advance
Did you ever get an answer to this? I have been attempting to include several clock faces with my clock widget also but can not come up with any workable solutions to allow the user to select the clock face.
hi
just updated from modaco rom and it is already a hundred times better. just have a few questions.
I use to have a lot more wigets or choices in the widgets. The main two i notice is the main clock widget which when tapped takes u to an app where u can view world clocks, weather and an alarm clock.
Also the calander had a lot more choices in size and shape.
Does any one know how i can get them back? Does it have something to do with the sense/rose thing. I had a choice and chose the Launcher and dont know how to change it back.
I believe i had more screens to chose from. i have 5 now but use to have 7.
cheers.
Hello All,
I wanted to ask about weather widget. I recently upgraded to CM7 now I dont have HTC weather widget on my desktop to the left of the main screen. Is there a way to put this widget in. I tried using add from menu and add weather but it does not look the same. Its smaller in size and not full screen like the stock used to be. I have HTC inspire.
Please help me if you know the solution to this.
Thank you
As far as I know, once you flashed CM7 you overridden the stock HTC Launcher so HTC widgets won't be available anymore. You'll need to search for a replacement on the maket.
Fancy widget is a good replacement. You can also purchase fancy widget pro if you want the animations
You should search for fancy widgets to get the latest version. it's indeed a good replacement for both HTC weather and HTC clock widgets.
As a side note, if you're missing some of the other widgets like contacts, calendar, facebook and others, you can try my new application Android Pro Widgets (search androidprowidgets on the market if you want to, but it is a paid app).
Edit: if this is against the rules please remove it, advertising was not my intention but I now realize it might be interpreted otherwise.
The weather widget (and just about anything that relies on Sense frameworks) are gone in CM7. There are however alternatives/ clones available in the Android Market like and Animating Flip Clock Widget (not perfect but pretty nice).
