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!
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.
Hi!
Is there a way to disable 3D Barrel effect when changing homescreens in Sense 3.0 ? Other launchers works much smoother and faster but there is lack of HTC widgets...

Just go with another launcher. For each HTC widget, there's always a much better alternative/equivalent in the Market. Plus, you get the advantage of a much more configurable, smoother launcher with better transition effects, transparency, skins, etc, etc.

Thanks. I would go for Launcher Pro, because its widgets are similar to HTC's (f.e. big, slightly transparent Agenda), but there is no good HTC clock widget. I found in the Market app named LP Sense Skin + Clock Widget, but this clock is not optimized for qHD
Another thing that annoys me is the HTC dock in the lockscreen and another android dock in Launcher Pro in homescreen. Is there a way to change lockscreen in Sense 3.0?
I wish there was an option to turn these animations off...
Well I guess LauncherPro is the exception in that it comes with its own widgets. Most home screen replacements are just the launcher, and you use your own widgets.
If it helps, here are some equivalents:
HTC Clock > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Weather > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Toggle Widgets > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Agenda > Android Agenda Widget
HTC Calendar View > Pure Calendar Widget
HTC FriendStream > Tweetdeck
I actually quite like still having the HTC lockscreen with its four shortcuts, and then a different set of shortcuts in ADWLauncher.EX.
As you're discovering right now, Sense 3.0 isn't very configurable at all.
I want both lol. LauncherPro Plus and Sense 3.0. LPP for the configurability and just general awesomeness, but Sense 3.0 for the app drawer and dock that LPP can't have
Can we use Sense 2.1 Launcher to disable that 3D effect?
I don't have Sensation right now. Can anyone try that with a dumb sense launcher.apk from Incredible S etc.?
I can't stand the bloody carousel effect when unlocking the device either. Just a time waste!
I seriously don't get it why htc wouldn't want let us get rid of this absurd effect!!!
For the rest, I'd rather not change for another launcher, I quite like the widgets and such. But wish htc would read us and provide a more configurable update some time later.

Yeah, widgets. Thats why I asked the question above. I hope someone may try.
I went for LauncherPro. It is very configurable (number of columns, rows etc), much faster and smoother than Sense and has very similar widgets to HTC's (Friends, Calendar, Bookmarks).
For HTC like weather clock I went for Beautiful Widgets and its SuperClock.
Yes you can configure which screen and widgets to use on the lock screen.
Select Personalize, Lock screen, and you can select a number of screens and change the widgets to others. There are lock screen for wallpaper, weather (I like), photos, etc. On the clock one, you can press Settings and select one of the alternative clocks.
Very cool

OMFG. Here, i am looking for a launcher(tell me if you know one) or ROM that replicates the effect on my desire s, and you guys want to remove it??
The carousel unlock effect is truly annoying.
On the Nexus One I had the nice CRT TV screen-off effect which is good, because its an effect/waste of time AFTER you've done working with your phone and want to lock it. This is the time for graphic flourishes.
HTC instead do a nice effect when I unlock the phone, that is when I want to use the phone immediately, but I get a little waste of time effect instead.
In summary - do the fun graphic stuff when I want to lock (done using the phone, wouldn't mind seeing something cool), as opposed to doing fun graphic stuff when i unlock (when I want to use the phone immediately and really don't want to see any superficial flourishes!).
Is there a clock widget that looks EXACTLY the same as the Sense one? Old version of Fancy Widgets was, but they changed it. So is it possible to just download the old version (apk) and install it?
weather & toggle widget.. download that
download h7c clock within the app
best htc clock out there imo

+1 but the weather animations can be a bit annoying seeing as they occur whenever the phone is unlocked, to any screen, for any reason.I used to use this on my MT3G Slide and I was pretty satisfied with it, though nothing really compares to sense IMO.

There is NO widget I can find to replace the htc gallery widget! It's very annoying

Just change "show all animations" to "show some animations" in Menu->Settings->Display. That will take care of that.

I have fancy widgets pro APK and I put it on SD card and installed, but it force closes. I think it is not compatable with the QHD screen.
After playing with the Sensation and Sense for a couple days now? The ability to run weather on my lockscreen has literally just blown me away. I don't really care about the prettiest app to do it but in your experience? What's the most reliable lockscreen weather app?
Widgetlocker + your favorite Weather widget
I use WidgetLocker and add Fancy Widgets and/or Beautiful Widgets. Love the options available between those.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been playing with both for the last couple days. Anything else that puts the weather on the lockscreen?
I like GOTO lockscreen. It's visually impressive (though weather is certainly not the focus of it's visuals and is only a small part) and has practical uses like quickly jumping to phone, SMS, gmail, being able to set phone silent or vibrate, and music lockscreen controls (though this only works with stock music players), weather, battery, phone owner's name on lockscreen.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.innowebtech.g0t0&feature=search_result
Still not satisfied with all of these choices. Anything else out there?
I use go laucher and go weather, but widget weather of HTC is the one!
is there a way to turn off the animation that comes on after the unlock of a phone?

You may be able to get some expert dev to help you if you donate to him, but even that's a little hard to expect. The main problem with the htc widgets is they are a part of the launcher itself, rather than a separate function any app can call on. Therefore using the htc widgets outside the default launcher is not really possible. If you use Supreme Sense, there is a lockscreen theme that brings up a pretty cool looking analog clock, but that's about as close as you're gonna get. Sorry.
