In the last weeks I changed the WidgetLocker look 2 times and now I completely forgot how to display the battery percentage (like in the stock locker)?
Was it a third-part app or?
I need a cure of phosphorus...
It's a built in widget, I think, called "Lockscreen Clock".

Forgot to post that in the meantime I found it out myself.
It's Advanced Clock Widget Pro.
I installed the Battery Widget.
BattStatt here, great text-only battery 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.

Hi,
Do you know any weather app that does not have running service?
Yes, weather forecast app that can pull data "manually" ...
No need periodic / interval update ...
Widget is not necessary either ...
Moved to Q&A BW, Fancy widget, and even the default news and weather app has this I believe
Most have these "features" and I don't really like that either. I've noticed that most of them will let you change the frequency that they pull info. Some down to 12 hours.
Fancy widget has lots of refresh options. One of them being to only refresh weather manually.
Thanks for all the suggestions. At the end, I ended up with (again) Beautiful Widget 1x1 (I already bought this when I use HTC Desire).
The reason that I want to find this kind of weather app, because I want to limit the number of running (background) services.
So, I replaced the Beautiful Widget Home widget with "simiClock" because it is simple, elegant and uses black background (save battery life).
simiClock has weather info as well ... But it does not have forecast.
That's why I was looking for weather app which can be activated (launched) when I press the simiClock weather.
But, it seems I cannot find one ... The one with update/interval can be controlled (I am not weather obsessive guy, so manual update is the best for me).
At the end, I am back with Beautiful widget weather 1x1 ... until I found a nice weather forecast app to launch from simiClock
I purchased the Weatherbug Elite. It has the options to turn off the background processing and only grab weather data when you run the app.
it's unfortunate, but i'm running into the same situation
i want to disable the back ground processing of the weather app that i like, but the app doesn't have such a feature/option
the app is supplied directly from The Weather Network, and it's very accurate, all the other apps that i've tried before are not so great
Try WeatherPro, best weather app imo
try Fancy widget... you'll love it! great app
Moxier World is by far the best I've found.
It updates either automatically or manually.
It also shows local time and weather in as many world locations as you need. It has 5 days forecast for each.

it has a background process
yes, it is nice, it's what i'm using
Try this out. It has an option to set update interval (or disable update entirely)
Are there any of these that operate similar to the Launcher Pro scrollable widgets? Unfortunately, I can't get LP to work on Honeycomb. Looking for something free preferably, especially since I already paid for LP...
Colorize Widget will do Facebook and Twitter.
Facez is a Facebook only widget.
Both are scrollable.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966333
But do take note that Colorize Widget does not work with LP.
Look into pure messenger widget. Ive been using it for several days and like it pretty well, only downside is its about $2
So far id say its worth it

Can you have separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter, or is it only one widget that moves between FB/Twitter/Gmail/etc?
Does the widget have scrollable messages?
Just checked and yes you can make multiple Widgets and seperate them

+1 for Pure Messenger. It's pretty great.
...and yes it's scrollable.
Use Plume for Twitter. IMO, its great, and scrollable.

Same here.
I'm on the hunt too.
PowerTutor at hand, I found Colorize Widgets to be a battery killer.
Right now, the best solution I found to have good graphics and good battery life is... Pulse! Setting ONLY the Facebook feeds, now included by default.
Note that, the more feeds you set in there, the more battery usage increases in a crazy way.
Comparison, both 30 minutes refresh interval, screen off all the time, 1h30mins:
- Colorize Widgets : 19,4 J
- Pulse (only facebook-friend's-posts & links): 8 J
Another good battery usage solution was to use an RSS widget and setting my Facebook-friend's-posts as a feed directly. Unfortunately, no images were shown (probably guilt is the RSS reader isself).
Question: does Pure Messenger show friends photos on the widget ?

PowerTutor, a free app on android market
I'd like to hear from you about pure messenger facebook's widget power usage... and does it have friends photos ?
Can the stock OS or any 3rd party app tell me what the battery use of a particular widget is?
It can't, but in general things like weather widget will drain more battery.

Let's say I have "Beautiful Widgets" installed, and I have some active widgets on my home screen. GSam Battery Monitor shows Beautiful Widgets in the battery usage list along with the percentage of battery it has used. Does Beautiful Widgets in this list merely indicate the battery usage while the app is open (i.e., while customizing widgets, settings preferences, etc.), or does it also include the usage of all the current widgets on my home screen?
Ahoy,
Wondering if anyone is having the same difficulty. My favourite weather and clock widget called the 'weather and clock widget' won't keep accurate time. Drops minutes and gets behind. Have emailed the app dev, but he says I need to dig in settings... Have been digging for a while and also tried removing and reinstalling and I'm yet to come up with a solve. I really love this app/widget. It's transparent widget against a dark background is so awesome.
Anybody have
A) an idea how to solve?
B) a better widget? Chronus seems to work well, but I find the minimalism ugly and too brutal.
Would appreciate any assistance.
Cheers
my guess is that you phone is putting the widget to sleep/hibernate. You would want to specifically exclude this widget under Settings > device maintenance > battery> battery usage > optimize battery usage and make sure this widget is set to Not be optimized
