So I used to own a MyTouch 4G with the Virtuous Unity 1.29 ROM and it was awesome, and I can't wait for this phone to get S-OFF so I can play around with it and get back some of the options I loved like the customizable lockscreen.
Anyway, I noticed that the live weather wallpaper option that comes stock on the phone runs through one animation and then freezes. It seems like something's wrong, I thought it would just keep animating clouds or sun or rain or whatever it is but it goes through one cycle then stops. That's the same way it was on previous ROMs running Sense 3.0 and everyone seemed to think something was wrong with them and there was no solution. Apparently that's just how the HTC Live Weather Wallpaper works...
I see what you mean i just tried it on my phone. It stopped on the 1st animation cycle that really weird.
Try Go Weather, it has a free live weather wallpaper.
nno ale pogoda to jest dobra
No but the weather is good? That's what you said...
If you're referring to the weather app then I agree with you. That being said, the GO WEATHER and beautiful live weather wallpapers both leave something to be desired either in terms of localization options or update consistency...
Too bad the Sense one isn't up to par as to what it should be...
I wonder if something was just left out of the build.
Go weather is definitely the best option. Haven't had any issues with it updating itself except sometimes it does stay light on my screen when its dark outside lol.

No. You could try different launchers to change it up though, but no roms.
By any chance is there one being made?

So... I'm trying to slowly step away from Sense as Im beginning to really get frustrated with the lag and the memory hogging.
I'd like to use the Helix Launcher, or something simliar... but I can't really find any good widgets!
Like, I love the HTC clock/weather. I've tried "Beautiful Widgets" but its really not so beautiful for $2.
So, let this kind of be a "post some screenshots" of your favorite widgets.
I love to show off my phone, and making the phone's UI both efficient and sexy at the same time.
However the stock android widgets are just plain as hell, and the Market is as you all know impossible to browse through.

beautiful widgets are perfect.. I think some ppl here even use them over the htc clock even when using sense.. There are tonss of skins to choose from, you just have to download them (from the app, without having to install any extra app). And it also includes all the toggles like wifi and it even has a smaller version of the clock that takes less room
I'm gonna vote BW as well. After downloading a nice theme from inside the app, this thing beats the crap out of the HTC clock any day (for me anyways). Other than that, I don't really know. I would like to hear of some other nice widgets to use
mixzing music player has an awesome music widget and its free defintely recommend

Thousands?
When I was browsing through the clock widgets I only found like 30 or so... wouldn't load anything else after that.
Maybe I'll give it another shot I guess. Only $2 right?
i wouldnt mind going vanilla if there was anything similiar to the bookmark widget, my most used widget. also, i just LOVE the htc weather clock widget with the animations, BW doesnt offer that (i know about the animations upon entering the app, but its not the same as weather animation wallpapers)

Lol he isnt saying thousands to choose from.. he was saying +10000 to liking BW
1. It's 2 bucks... 2 DOLLARS!
2. The phone is so much snappier running Helix, and ASOP, especially running the IC3 ROM.
I didn't think I would like things without the HTC sense stuff... but it runs so smooth, and the BW gets pretty close to looking just like sense.
I don't see BW as being that great. I feel it is kind of sluggish, which imo doesn't justify going away from Sence. And I have tried it. Don't much like the pure apps either. But it's all choices I guess.
Sense works perfect for me. No sluggishness at all!
Sense is very sluggish for me unless I constantly kill unused apps. I just downloaded Home and Helix, I am going to try both of them with BW, which I downloaded a few weeks ago to use with Launcher PRO.
Here's my home screen.
Running DarchDroid 2.7 with Launcher Pro.
Beautifull Smaller Home Widget, as well as SetCPU, Brightness, and GPS widgets
The simpler the better for me.
Just the People widget is out at this time, but it sounds like more widgets will be coming to LauncherPro Plus soon

Thanks, jniggle for actually giving the OP what he wanted! Nice home screen, btw!

don't know if you've seen OneClick widgets, but you might try it out. I think you would like the icons next to your other transparent stuff.

i like mine simple
I have Beautiful Widgets Home with weater, and the Beautiful Weather Live wallpaper. It is really cool.
But, there is no way to configure who to use for a weather provider, and it is not even close. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I don't think so.
I have it set to update every hour. And over the past 2 hours it has dropped from low 90s to 74, and has been raining for 90 min or so.
the weather on the home says 95 degrees, and the live weatehr page shows brigh sunny, with white clouds going by.
Anyone having better luck with this?
[EDIT]
I think maybe I figured it out. We'll see after some changing weather.
But I had it checked on settings to use GPS. But, GPS doesn't come in inside the house, so it had wrong location. Even thought Geolocation was set too. But I unchecked the GPS, and saved it, and it appears to have the weather right for the live wallpaper.
Anyone know how geolocation works? (I think I'm remering the name of it right).
i am also having a problem with the Widget and live wallpaper updating. The sun rises and sets and it gets dark but my Temp is not updating and we just had a crazy storm here and it still says sunny....any help?
I had fancy Widgets which had weather but it was off by 4 or 5 degrees F.
Got rid of it. Using just digotal clock now. Simple and no wrong info.

i must have changed something....can someone post some good settings? This is one of the most downloaded apps so i must just be screwing something up.
I know that time stops updating if you use a task killer and kill beautiful widgets. I imagine this applys to the weather also.
I think this is an issue that the LevelUp Studio people are aware of. According to this tweet, it sounds like they're going to release an update that uses a new weather data provider.
It's a problem with Google's weather service. Every app and widget that pulls data from Google's weather services has been having problems for a while now. That's why they will be switching to a new provider.
Until I can get a cool clock/weather app that works correctly, I will use it. Until then, I use retro clock and Weather Bug.
Beautiful widgets has been updated to use accuweather.com for forcasts now.

This is correct and works great now.
I'm having weather updating issues with the current Beautiful Widgets. Anyone else? No task killer running. Using Accuweather. Manually clicking update does nothing. Would be nice if it showed a last updated timestamp. I can click to weather details and I see that Accuweather has different weather than the widget.
Does the developer have an official support channel? Can't find one and he never responded to a twitter request.
I think they may have. I just tried to find it by going to their links in Appbrain, but only found a home page with no method there to communicate to them.
But at this link on Appbrain, there is an icon to click where you can email them. I have no idea if you will get support or response.
Hey guys, just thought I would share the Sense Clock from the Desire HD leaked system dump. This clocks numbers actually flip down as each minute and hour passes. You must be running sense for this to work. Place on SD card, and flash .zip file via recovery.
WARNING: Do not wipe, as this is using your cached prior HtcClockWidget.apk signature verification. Which means you should have the stock widget active on your homescreen before you flash this. This is tricking the clock into thinking the .apk is signed correctly.. It is highly advised you nandroid backup!! If you wipe your cache for any reason you will lose the clock and possibly cause other errors. If you need to wipe for some reason, delete HtcClockWidget.apk in system/app via Root Explorer or ADB.
The HTC Clock Widget MUST be actively open on your home screen.
You can NOT move it.
You can NOT remove it from your home screen and add it again later.
You can NOT look at the different clocks the widget has to offer.
Long story short, make sure the clock is on your home screen before installing. Do NOT touch the clock other than to open the weather.

Will this work with Skyraider Vanilla?

Works on Virtuous 2.0, so I'd imagine it would work on the later Virtuous releases as well. I was always a bit dissapoined that our clock didnt flip.
Thank you very much thatdudebutch.
works on my vir 2.7 with increvol theme
No prob guys, just please remember the warning I posted.
Just tried it doesn't show up in the widgets list. Most likely because it would be in the sense widget list. Someone should definitely port it to show up without sense so everyone with vanilla can enjoy it

The flip clock is flippin sweet!! (pun intended)
Thanks.
any success stories on stock 2.2??
EDIT: Got it working on a fresh flash of the deodexed stock 2.2
I'll second Jason... flipping sweeeet!!!
Tried on Skyraider 3.1 Sense and FC when I try to add it to the homescreen. Seems like it renamed "Clocks" to "Digital Clock" in the widgets screen and none of the clocks work now. Was I suppose to have a flip clock already on the homescreen or wouldn't it have mattered?
Guess I'll nandroid back, was looking forward to the flips

Yeah did some testing and found out the same thing. Updated OP.
Also, don't try and go into the digital clocks on the widget screen after flashing, it will break it and make it not flip again.
Kinda too buggy for my tastes right now, but it does in fact work. Thanks thatdudebutch!
I always wanted it to flip too haha. Works great but like someone already said, going back into digital clocks in the widget screen will break it. FC's when I try to add the clock back to my home screen now

Gonna try this with Revolution Theme on Virtuous 2.7.
Wish me luck!
Update: So far so good! it flips really fast though. Faster than WM w/ Sense.
I like that it flips when you refresh the time by waking the phone or going back to the home screen.
working on Uncommon Sense (v0.8 Beta)
Thanks
So, I'm a big fan of the apps Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets...but the silly things will not work with CM7. Is there a setting that I'm missing, or something I'm not doing right?
If these just will not work at all, are there any valid replacements? I search and search on the forums, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help on the matter is appreciated. Thanks guys.
Im using the MIUI themed Fancy Widget on CM7 just fine.. I'll download and try beautiful widgets as well just to check. Have you went to settings->applications->the app name->clear data?
No problems here use be on my home screen daily
Sent from my Htc Evo using Tapatalk pro
Try un installing/ re installing? I run BW every day on CM7 no issues... also try clockworkmod and fix permissions... that mostly makes all crazy stuff better
Ok, so I've gotten the clock part working... had to fix permissions in Clockwork (thank you ibcenu), but now it's not displaying the weather portion. It tells me I'm in an unknown location - maybe it's because of a gps issue, I'm just not sure... I can use the new Superclock and display my battery, but I'd rather see what the weather's doing instead.
Yeah just go to configure the beautiful widget and set location it should work fine
and make sure it is NOT on your SD card..it has to be on the phone to work right...

this is the reason i dont use clockwork or rom manager !!!
My weather wont display when I choose Google as my provider (Fancy Widget Pro). I have to select Weather.com, or whatever it is.
I came across this on google:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/347592-replacement-ics-style-lockscreen/
Basically it just shows you how you can get an ICS styled Lock Screen for the Sensation! It's great and has been running really well. The article says:
Download:
1. Magic Lockscreen: HERE
2. ICS Style Theme: HERE
How to use/install:
1. Install app, then theme and use app to select the theme. The app will walk you through some steps to show you how to use it, but..
2. Select the Magic Lockscreen as your Home Launcher default. Then the app will ask you which launcher you want to use as your main launcher.
Screenshot:
Attached at bottom of post
I use the Rosie/Sense, and I noticed that doing this the way that the app tells you kept making Sense reset every time I hit the home hey. To fix this, I use Home Switcher (free on marker) and selected "Set as default" for Rosie/Sense launcher which fooled the Magic Lockscreen into staying active when I love my phone, and fixed the issue with Sense. It actually runs very smoothly for me.
Not sure what it's like if you use another launcher if that may have problems with resetting so often either, in which case, try Home Switcher and choose set as default for your launcher.
Works On:
InsertCoin 3.3.x - Working reported by tjd319
CM7 Alpha 9 - Working with slight flash before lock and after unlock reported by dvandit21.
ENERGY (Oct 18 Version) - Working reported by dansharpy

Also works perfectly on Energy (18th oct version, not tested on 22nd oct version)
Thanks for the guide, looks awesome, especially in fullscreen mode!!
Thanks for sharing, works great with InsertCoin 3.3.7
Working on Energy Oct 22, but it's noticeably laggy. The built-in ICS lockscreen that certain ROMs like Bulletproof have is much smoother.
