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.

Does anybody know the name of this clock-widget?

Hi,
I really thought I was up-to-date with all theming related widgets and apps..but today I saw this picture of a clock widget with reflections and customizable colors plus customizable shades!!!
My dream of a clock widget! As far as I know even the great chronotopia clock widget can "just" rotate, but not do reflections....
Does anybody know what widget this is?
thanks!

Notice the IPhone maybe? But it looks like a lwp not just a clock. Try out wp clock

yes- maybe it is just an iphone app... but it is definitely not an lwp.
Because its from an blog for phone styles and the wall is free to download without any widget...
I guess its a themed widget of an iphone app...

Just now saw this. I think you can do this with Chronotopia. Granted I haven't tried it but this is how I would go about it. Duplicate the clock, rotate it so it's upside down. Then in the gradient make it so the alpha blend is 0 at the bottom (or top since it is rotated). That should do the trick, you can also adjust the x position of the gradient to make it fade out faster or slower. Hit me up if you need more help or let me know if it works.

[Q] Which lockscreen are you using?

Just wondering what you guys have set as your lockscreen? Im currently using the Clock, as I found the weather app to get annoying after a while, cool for the first few times though
How about you guys?

I'm using the weather lockscreen and I don't think I'll get tired of it any time soon

Using weather because it's useful and cool.

Anybody figure out if you can make the lockscreen show something other than the current weather?

Well if you click personalize, then weather you can have it show, clocks, friendstream and a few other things

I think he meant if it's possible to show weather forecast on the lockscreen, not just the current weather and temperature when using the weather lockscreen.

I actually meant if its possible to have another city show besides weather keep polling for your current location.

Close enough
And it seems like you can only have your current location displayed.

Probably only when the lockscreen is visible?

If you go into the weather settings, you can tell it which location is your "current" location and that would be the one showing up. I tested this with Paris, France and my other locations are home, work, and mom's cities.

Using the clock one with the really technical looking clock. It's beautiful, but deep down inside I hate it because it means on the lock screen the time is displayed three times. It's in the status bar, it's above the clock widget, and then of course the clock widget itself.

None of the above, don't like lock screen.
I'm using an app called No Lock, which by pass the lock screen and goes straight to home screen.

Im calling BS on being able to change the weather lockscreen to show anything but the current weather... looked and looked, I see no setting. Now I understand you can change the Clock widget on the homescreen to show different widgets, but not the lockscreen.
Somebody please prove me wrong, and give me a step by step....

Using Widgetlocker as I find the new HTC "ring" unlock system to hard to use when the phone is in a car holder

I'm using my own weather lockscreen. Which is a Pittsburgh Steelers one with weather in front of Heinz field.

Appointments on Lock Screen
Instead of showing weather, I would rather have appointments showing on the lock screen so that one can easily know what is the next appointment without unlocking the device (just like s2u2 does it). Any genius knows how to do that?

Sense and accuweather

The weather widget on the homescreen with sense keeps telling me incorrect weather conditions.
Like it will show its raining and its not, but when I click into it, it refreshes and then shows the right thing. I have weather to automatically sync and I also have it set to sync everytime the widget is shown.

I scrapped it and went to beautiful widgets

Mine is also wacky and not very accurate

I have the same problem.I thought i had a bug,but now i know it is not only me who has this problem.Do all people have this problem or only some of us have it?Any way to fix it?

In my opinion it's weird they would release a flagship phone like this with a big ole beautiful widget out in front if the stock Rom and it not function correctly. It annoys me because the sense time/weather widget is beautiful.

I think the widget actually picks up the weather for the city your in, so if your in a big city it might not show every part of the cities weather.

Lock screen location (AccuWeather.com) is wrong

When I turn my phone on, the lock screen default weather location is wrong and it uses AccuWeather.com you can see.
But, when I unlock the phone and go into my weather widget, it is fine. I use HD Widgets and set it to use WeatherBug.
How can I correct the lock screen weather to report my proper location?

I don't believe there is a way to adjust the location on the lockscreen weather. I have the same issue and so I stopped using the Touchwiz weather widget. It kept telling me I was in the "poor part of town" and well, that just wasn't going to work for a snob like me.
Either AccuWeather has incorrect info or your GPS isn't locking in quick enough for when the app checks for location. I suspect it may be the second, as from my experience, sometimes it would be spot on but most of the time wrong. Once I started using widgets that don't use AccuWeather, I noticed I hadn't had any problems though.

I couldn't find a way, so I wonder if there is a ro0t method? Maybe to tell the system to NOT use AccuWeather.com (I have had issues with them in the past in other widgets).
I don't run GPS unless needed. HD widgets finds me fine without GPS but this lock screen default weather app cannot.

I have 2 GS3's both rooted running cleanrom 2.1. One has the correct weather on the lock screen the other does not. I'm thinking more of a hardware problem due to these phones being set up the same.

not sure how hardware could interfere with weather info. Especially when I have no other issues so likely a hardware issue would manifest in some other area - something bigger then this 1 thing.
I am sure root could fix this if you could alter the file used to run that lock screen weather and tell it to use WeatherBug. Just not sure what file that is.

Did you try going to setting/security/lock screen and clicking on weather? Mine was defaulted to never update location so I set it to every hour
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes, mine has always been set to 1 hour. The issue is not it updating weather, the issue is it saying I am not where I am at. It is about 40 miles off in a totally different town.

Out of curiousity, when you open Maps, does it give you the correct location?
On my phone, while in the house, it always puts me about three blocks away and then about two - four seconds later, gets me spot on. I assumed it was that delay that was affecting the Touchwiz weather widgets. The few times the stock weather features got my location right I happened to be in different rooms of my house or outside. The SG3 GPS seems to have some issues indoors.
I have noticed that every other weather widget I use displays the correct city right away for me. I switched to using FancyWidget Pro on my homescreen today and I noticed it uses Accuweather and was still correct, but that uses geolocation instead of GPS. I've also had no issues with One More Clock Widget or Simi Clock.
Oddly, aWeather and the stock weather widget and the lockscreen are the ones that give me false locations.
I haven't tried it yet, but I read something where some people were having luck clearning the cache on maps and the weather widget then making sure "verizon location services" isn't checked and it was correcting some location issues. Might be worth a shot.

All I know is I set up mine and the wife's phones the exact same way from a full wipe and hers always gets the weather location wrong for some reason. That's why I believe some hardware might be sub par. I'm at a loss as with this.

I have a similiar thing going on with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've done a hard reset back to stock and it will be fine and always have the same city one time, then if I do a hard reset again at another time, it won't get the right city.
I think their software needs some fine tuning.

Maps is perfect for me.
Right now I'm in a different town & the lock screen once again shows me 1 town off. Close but wrong.
HD Widgets... perfect

anyone know which system file controls the use of AccuWeather.com as the lock screen weather company of choice?
anyone?

I too would like to know this, once we know this and a few other pieces of information there might be a chance we could tinker and change the lockscreen weather to use weatherbug or something similar. I bought the 25¢ HD Widgets app today just because it uses weatherbug. And that's the only app that will pull up a weather monitor in my town, aside from WeatherChannel and the local news app, both of which are terrible.

Maddening GPS issues!!
Having similar problem here - but not limited to lockscreen weather. I use the Simi clock+weather widget on my homescreen and though I live in Atlanta it shows me as being in Creedmoor, NC (which I gather is near Raleigh). Also, Foursquare shows me being in Creedmoor on its map, but the check-in locations are in Atlanta and show accurate distances from where I am. Maps works fine and shows my location correctly (more or less). Very frustrating problem. Is it hardware related or software? This all started when I was not having any luck getting a GPS lock and tried various fixes. The lock is there now but the location on some apps is way off.

Just purchased HD widgets, I'll have to check this out.

Guys, those that are having lockscreen weather issues, do you use the default weather widget on your homescreen? The one with clock and weather. I found that if I don't use the weather widget on the home screen then the lockscreen does not update and shows inaccurate info. You have to use it for the lockscreen to work.
I discovered this when I was using beautiful widgets and the lockscreen stopped updating. They both use accuweather but for some reason the widget needs to be active.
Hope this helps some!

On my homescreen I use HD widgets. I have zero intentions of using the stock weather/clock widget just to make the lockscreen weather/location correct. Amazing what we can do to tweak the OS, and yet this cannot be tweaked in a file.
accuweather is the culprit as when I use that in HD widgets it screw up my location, use weatherbug and it is perfect.
EDIT: wait.. I see no "default" system installed weather widget... my only weather widgets are my after-market HD and Beautiful widgets, no such "default weather widget"

HD Widgets gets the correct location for me. The default one from TouchWiz is off by a good distance.

Agreed BUT we are not talking about widgets, we are talking about the fact the lock screen weather is off and it is off as it uses accuweather and you don't seem to have any choice in the matter to pick a different service for the lock screen weather.
