So I have the Xoom and was wondering what clock widgets you guys are using? I tried beautiful widgets and fancy widget pro, They both look like hell. The hero clock in black from factory widget looks okay but I am wanting something better. Also any ideas for some good live wallpapers? I have the Auroras and Bluesea. I have light grid pro. Also something better would be good. I can buy as well from market, just wanting to maximize it you know. Also many of my movies are .avi any good players for these as realplayer beta normally do this but not on xoom any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Shokouhi
You can use moboplayer or rockplayer for the videos. As for the clocks and lwp's you will have to pick for yourself what you like. Try reading through the "post your homescreen" thread. Most of the time they list what they use or answer it a few post later. Hey.....its a start.

For live wallpapers, I like jumpgate, any matrix "live wp, and a while back I remember seeing a tech article about a live wp that is a mini 3d globe and was really cool. (Sorry I don't have a name or a link for that one) for clock Widgets, have you tried usng custom skins on beautiful Widgets? You can change the look dramatically with the skins.

I find I like the Aurora LWP. Also I am using the Asus weather widget. As far as every clock I find other than stock clock widget it they are all sized incorrectly. I wish someone could port the clock from Touch Wiz Ux between that and asus weather widget, that would be a sweet combo!

Thanks for the input thus far!
Personally, I like the retro clock and calendar widgets.

You could use TerraTime which is a 3D globe, live satellite map and clock widget. Love it.

I hate the stock clock/weather widget but I am in love with those full screen weather animations on unlock.
I'm just gunna throw this out there, it would be badass if someone could modify the native htc clock/weather widget to be a 4x1 widget similar to the yr.no 4x1 weather widget. That way people could have the best of both worlds, badass lightning/wiper blades on their screen without the clock taking all that valuable screen real estate!
Wish mine worked....

Go grab beautiful widgets from the market..
you can make it similar to the sense clock but in a 1x4
Right, but then you lose the full screen weather animations when you unlock, right? I was under the impression these were only possible with the HTC widget.
I'm not sure. I know you can get a live wallpaper that shows the weather with beautiful widgets...
What you want, is for the Dev of Cookie HomeTab to make the same for the EVO as he has done for the HD2. Great customization for the sense UI, while still keeping full functionality. Weather animations and all.
I checked it out. Almost makes me want a WinMo device.....almost lol. An android port of that would be amazing. Co0kieMonster's donate button would probably blow up even more if that happened....
i just came over to the Evo from Energy Rom on Windows Mobile. I had cookie on that, and I think it's the ONLY thing (Besides easy wifi tethering) that i miss on my touch pro 2.
Sincerely hoping for a similar clock like the one in CHT for winmo... requested it over at ppcgeeks a while ago with no results.... really miss that also
I was JUST about to post this same request. Now I'll just add to this thread.
I would love a 4x1 and/or 2x1 HTC Clock Widget with the animation functionality.

To those who have used beautiful widgets & live weather wallpaper how does the live weather wallpaper compare to htc's weather animations?
I'm tired of the big clock all together, but love the weather animations. The big clock can look good, but I wear a watch and the time is up top also so what waste of realestate. I'd like to keep the weather widget though (with the animations) so really hoping there will be a way to make it more configurable like Cookie did (more so even -no clock!). Also would really like it if moon phases could be incorporated too.

The live wallpaper looks really good and is really customizable.
My only issue is I don't really like live wallpapers.
The bw widget will show an animation when you tap the weather part of the widget, i would love if there was an option to display that animation over the home screen when you unlock the device. It would be perfect!
Downloaded "Shake them all!" live wallpaper with the orientation lock, makes an amazzing background!!
you guys have any other recommendations for good live themes for the Tab?

Snowfall Full Live Wallpaper
Reacts to time of day with different background views, you can control the snow and the lights on the trees.
Works well in landscape. Very realistic.
I have been using Light Grid Pro the most. Good, frequent updates.
Does anyone notice fairly noticeable lag when you use Live Wallpaper? Is it just standard drag on the CPU?
I get zero lag and I'm on a stock UK ROM.
the only time I face lag when using live walls is when I open up the apps drawer !! it looks laggy !!
anyone know of a similar one to the grass wallpaper that changes though out the day, a moon orbit one would be nice in the cartoony style
Beautiful Widgets

Beautiful Widgets in the Market has a great wallpaper that shows weather, and changes throughout the day. It also lets you select a custom background with the paid version.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if a live wallpaper existed like the one that was presented for a concept phone.
Window Phone Concept
Really love this, the transparency is obviously not possible, but a animated weather layer like that over a simple wallpaper would be awesome!
Kind regards,
Tobias
Beautiful widgets has one in the market. Works great in my evo.
If you have beautiful widgets base package, the wallpaper reflects current conditions.

Not really the same realistic effect as the Window Phone Concept, it's a start but not as pretty.
Hey guys, so i was wondering if there is a way to get the HTC weather/clock app on our phones?
Did a forum and internet search and nothing came up. I certainly can't convert it over myself cause i don't know the first thing about modding phones or apps or widgets. Figured i would ask around and see what the consensus is!
Also, if it is possible, and i understand it is a newer phone, but i really like the widget from the new LG phone on verizon. Pic below is of the widget on that new LG phone!
Download Fancy Widgets, upgrade to the paid version, go into appearance settings, clock skin and download the h7c skin and apply it. Also, change the clock type to flip clock and you're set.

fancy widgets or beautiful widgets
I've tried fancywidgets and beautiful widgets, and they are very very similar, but I preferred beautiful widgets. Beautiful seemed to run better for me. Appearance wise, they are basically identical.
agreed. i love beautiful widgets.
Beautiful widgets is free to try. Search beautiful widgets lite in the market. If you want to customize more, then buy it; but if you just want the htc look, lite should be enough

Which widget is this?????????? its on samsung phone.
Looks like Beautiful Widgets to me
Looks more like 3D Flip Clock & Widgets.
Looks like fancy widgets, im running it now. Looks identical
im playing with my dinc, 2!
Coming from several HTC phones, I'm looking for this as well. From what I can see, the picture doesn't match any of the suggestions exactly. The clock has the lines in the middle and the weather data is immediately below the clock, in the same "box".
The 3D Flip Clock & World Weather widget has the date and time in that box and the weather below. I don't see any flip clocks in Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets.
Does that one really flip. Cos the one in beautiful Widgets doesn't actually flip.

It might be Fancy Widgets with H7C theme installed. Try it out. You need to buy the full version.
Check out the images for HD Widgets: https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets. I have it and I'm thinking that's the one.

Could you post a link and maybe a picture or screen shot? I searched through the Market and Google and haven't found any Miui clocks that flip and look like the one in the OP.
