I've had the widget locker apk on my HTC supersonic for a while now and I'd have to say its an amazing investment if purchased full version, I've tried every mod possible and was satisfied with all the modification, but my question is does anyone know if a mytouch 3g/4g theme is available for the apk yet?

I love the WIPER effect of the weather widget of the Desire ROM. Is there a way to push the widget into a CM ROM ?
P_
i dont think so, but there is Beautiful widgets and weather widgets on the app market. they have htc skins.
Get the Flip Clock with Weather app (called Weather Widget) from the market and it looks like the HTC Weather/Clock widget and when you click on the Weather display, if it is raining it does the whole raindrops with wiper and all that stuff.
Worth getting the donate version.
Both apps don't do anything automatically though you have to click them. Stock home doesn't support animated widgets yet.
I hope it could be in Cyanogen... I love sun animation when I unlock the screen
Any updates on this? I see that the camera has been ported over so Im sure this can be ported over!

I don't believe it's possible to port over the HTC weather widget because it requires the Rosie framework (which is unique to HTC).
Beautiful Widgets had been making good progress on this up until December of last year when they received a C&D letter from HTC. So now any design/revision has to be approved by HTC first. Unless a developer here is willing to undertake this task don't really see something identical to Sense coming to fore.

Oh well, in the mean time I DL the donate version and very satisfy with it =)
I was using beautiful weather but recently switched to Weather Widget... it's much cleaner nicer looking and I like how you can bind the clicks to the regular clock and the 2.1 weather app... not sure if u can do that on the beautiful one too or not but config and everything else is just nicer on weather widget... well worth the $$.
Not sure if this is a port or a complete code-from-scratch but either way it looks very much like the htc weather/clock.
You can also try doing a search for Beautiful widget 2.35. This was the last version before HTC made the developer change it.
i am currently using the virtuous 2.5 rom and have been trying out skyraider vanilla and wanna switch to it except i cant seem to give up the clock widget. is there anyway to get it on the other roms? i prefer other roms to the stock sense i just cant get over the clock as weird as that sounds.

No not weird at all. I'm the same way. At last some one that understands. I've been using Beautiful Widgets very similar. Not the clock and weather toggle. I bought that and it wasn't quite up to par. No raindrops on the glass or clouds and thunder. Beautiful Widgets was worth the money though. I was going to check this Digital Clock out too. Just haven't yet. If you try it let me know how you like it.

The sense widgets REQUIRE sense framework and the rosie launcher.
There was an app that was pulled from the market called 'Fancy Widget'. All I will say is that it was pulled via C&D by HTC themselves for being 'too similar' to the proprietary clock widget you are looking for.
"Fancy Widget" Google is your friend.

Yeah Fancy Widget is the one run by the Weather and Toggle app you have to buy to make it run. Not really what the sense clock is like. I liked the Beautiful Widgets way better. You can play with different skins till you find one that suits you and the Boca weather skin is just like the sense weather.
Actually. That is not correct. Fancy Widget is different and you can Google it. I use it because you can set if to update more frequently. If the stock app updated every 30 minutes like you can set Fancy Widget to do I would still be using it...

what about other HTC widgets? I would love to use LauncherPro but I have to have the HTC Photo Album widget to show off my new baby girl. I know there are other photo widgets and I have tried almost all of them but none can compare to the HTC. Please help I am sick of using the rest of Sense....
Every HTC specific widget cannot be run on any Launcher except Rosie and cannot be ported without making an exact replica with the same images like Fancy Widget. People need to realize this and stop asking.
There is a separate Widget named Fancy Widget, it was pulled from the Market, because... IT IS EXACTLY the same as HTC clock, they literally copied the images. It is wonderful, a little more flexible, and can be setup to check more often, and launch whichever clock and weather app you choose when you touch.... Only thing it does not do is animations. Google "Fancy Widget apk" and really look as stated prior if you want the HTC clock...
If you want something attractive, slightly different, and still free check out
Weather Widgets (yr.no) http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ermesjo.yr I switch between this and Fancy Widget based on how I am feeling lol
As for anyone missing other HTC widgets... support Launcher Pro and purchase Launcher Pro Plus, the widgets are very comparable... and the guy has written a wonderful piece of software... so pay the 2.99!!
I just downloaded Fancy Widget 1.3 and it is basically the same exact thing as the HTC Sense Clock widget but it allows you to configure what application it launches when you hit the weather icon, date or time. I just installed it and haven't seen if it does the weather animations but I could care less about that.
Wondering if anyone can make a black google search widget
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I have a Metamorph that makes the Google Search widget a dark smoked (semi-transparent) color. If you're running a stock-based ROM, it ought to work just fine as long as you're rooted.
However, I'm currently using the Virtuous ROM, which had the Google Search widget APK in data/app under a different name. If you run into any problems with the attached Metamorph, you may have to move it to system/app like I did. Let me know if that's the case.
All the image assets are from stiCk.E's CM7 theme designed for the Nexus One. Ah the good old days.
EDIT: WTF my attachment didn't save? Sorry-- fixed
I am running gummy 2.0. I am not sure if that is important info or not but I want my phone to have this theme https://market.android.com/details?id=com.upwardspiral.Basic_Orange
If i could get that exact theme somehow that would be awesome. but if I cant I would like something like this which I think is more in the possible range.http://launcherpro-themes.deviantart.com/gallery/?set=27893132&offset=24#/d3i8v4p
I like the simple clean look of just he words. Any help is much appreciated.
Also the only theme programs I know of so far are launcher pro and adw. Are there any other ones worth looking at?
Thanks a ton!
You could also try GO Launcher EX.

The basic orange theme is a cm7 theme. At this time the droid charge doesn't have cm7 running but I am sure the theme can be ported or someone can make an orange theme from one of their current themes. I would put a request thread asking for someone to create an orange theme or see what they can come up with.

I think the only way to do that would be to use the TSM parts option in Gummy 2.0, and as for widget locker do you have the app? there should be theme settings somewhere in options
Hey everyone! So I switched from an iPhone 4 to the One X about 2 weeks ago and so far, the HTC is a beast! ALMOST no regrets switching (although the google play store lacks in certain areas). However, I'm pretty big on customization and my iPhone was jailbroken and all tricked out with different themes. So far, I haven't found the degree of customization that was available on the iPhone for the android. For instance, one big thing I noticed is that the notification bar on sense (or in general actually) is tightly integrated with the ROM, so you would have to make your own ROM to customize the notification bar, as opposed to changing images on the iPhone.
There are quite a few launchers available on the Android, which makes changing icons, docks, and lockscreens more centralized than on the iPhone which is a nice plus. So what do you like to do with your android? Do you hook it up with some themes, spice things up a bit, or keep it stock/vanilla? I'm thinking of developing themes, that's why I'd like to get your feedback.
You don't need to create a Rom to theme an android device most of the status bar icons are in the systemui apk you can use an app like 7 zip open the apk as an archive navigate to res drawable-hpdi folder you find all the battery, data WiFi icons in there find the icons you wish to replace them with size and name them appropriately and drag and drop new icons into the folder then push apk back to the phone. You could also try a Rom like miui aokp or cm9 which has tons of pre made themes available.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that later. I have tried the CM9 mod as well as the MIUI one, however they still have certain features missing (Sense camera along with 4G LTE). I'm just wondering what launchers/lockscreen apps you guys use and whether you pay for them or not. I have a GO Locker theme on the market right now, but I'm still wondering if that's the most popular lockscreen. I'd appreciate people's opinions on theming, whether they look at the play.store for them or elsewhere.
You could look in MyColorScreen.com to have an idea of what can be done on android customization. You will find some great work that people have done to there phones and what apps they use as well as wallpapers and icon packs.
Your welcome and I use adw ex launcher. Widget locker and MiLocker for lockscreen replacements. If you click the AAA logo in my Sig I'm a cofounder of the group android augmentors anonymous there you will find some great screenshots as well as resources that members have have shared.

Ah thanks, that's really what I was looking for. I've tried ADW EX launcher and I really liked it, but right now I'm using GO Launcher just because it has a few more effects features than ADW. And man, so many screenshots in your group! Probably one of the best Android groups I've seen on deviantart!
