I know most of the custom ROMs got rid of this, but I put it back on cuz I liked the stock widget, and I ended up liking the weather widget. My question is about the weather widget; anyone using it, when u set it to 'current location' does it change when u go form one place to another or does it locate you that one time with GPS and then just keep showing u that town? Mine is not switching from place to place and I want to see if my settings or gps is messed up or if that is just how the widget is.

So HTC came down on Weather Widgets for looking too much like the original HTC flip clock, and have since released an update that removes said clock, or at least changes the graphics.
Now, I want to flash cyanogens latest, but I don't want to lose my favorite clock widget. I have backed it up using Titanium Backup, is that enough?
I'm an Android newbie and I've never flashed/wiped a device before so I have no idea what Titanium really does, but I assume I can install all programs directly from Titanium/SD Card after Flash, without having to worry about losing my flip clock?
Thanks everyone!
In order to save the HTC style clock widget just back up the folder "prettyweather-googlecode-com" thats where Weather Widgets stores it's skins. Then just put it back on after you flash CyanogenMod.

Thanks for the quick reply!
That folder is stored on my SD card, flashing a mod doesn't affect the SD card does it? So I should be safe?
Absolutely, I just flashed Cyanogen and my flip clock is fine (I also use Weather Widgets.) When you flash a ROM it won't erase anything on your SD card.
Beautiful! Thanks for the help

That's just your opinion and one with which I disagree.
When I had the old version of weather widget I downloaded the default skin with the skin downloader just so I could switch back to it when I was trying a load of others out. If you have that, it works on the new version (or PM me and I might be able to help )

can you help me on this. I've downloaded weather widgets from the market but everytime i put it on my home screen i just see the weather and temp readings. i go to the settings and downloaded some skins like the h7c coz i really like the flip clock (htc style) but then the clock preferences is greyed out. im coming from htc hero and i really like the clock with weather integrated and i want this also in my nexus even if it is just an imitation but i don't know how. Am i missing something?
Hi Guys,
sorry for resurrecting such an old post, but has anybody the .apk for Weather Widgets (yr.no)? I can't find it on the Market (it was still there a few weeks ago). It was the only app which got my hometown correctly.
I'm talking about this one: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/news_and_weather/weather-widgets_ljka.html
I downloaded the Inspired Ace rom which I love and has increased my battery life like I didn't think was possible. My question is the lockscreen. How do I change the sense screen to the standard froyo or gingerbread type that slides left to right and allows you to change ringer on/off?
Widget locker. That's what I use.
You can remove or rename htclockscreen.apk and it should show up automatically. Not 100% sure one the apk name but I think I am remembering close.
Located in /system/app
note: if you use the above process (deleting the apk) your alarm will not work.
Widgetlocker looks pretty cool, I think I might have to check that out.
Widget locker is the best. You can make multiple unlock bars, widgets on the lock screen, change the lock bar style, etc. Absolutely worth the cost.
I guess my question is how do you use the add ons in the rom. It has the option while downloading to enable the htc lockscreen but I want to use the stock froyo slider that I'm guessing it also has. How do I change the lockscreen? I would post this in the rom forum but I can't yet because of my number of posts.

hi
just updated from modaco rom and it is already a hundred times better. just have a few questions.
I use to have a lot more wigets or choices in the widgets. The main two i notice is the main clock widget which when tapped takes u to an app where u can view world clocks, weather and an alarm clock.
Also the calander had a lot more choices in size and shape.
Does any one know how i can get them back? Does it have something to do with the sense/rose thing. I had a choice and chose the Launcher and dont know how to change it back.
I believe i had more screens to chose from. i have 5 now but use to have 7.
cheers.
Hopefully, I'm posting in the right section. If not, please forgive me and move to the right one.
I have Fancy Widget Pro on my phone. The problem is, I want to use 2 widgets from FWPro: the first is a 1x4 clock & weather which I use on the main screen of my Droid Incredible. I have a custom clock skin I made for it and a weather skin i downloaded from the FW market. The second is where I run into a problem - I have 5 Day forecast 1x4 widget on my WidgetLocker Lockscreen. The thing is I DON'T want a background on that one and I also want to create a separate custom weather skin for that one.
In FW Pro, you can set the background to show or not and that setting is applied to every widget. Likewise, you pick one weather skin and that is applied to the weather in every widget.
I'm thinking the only way to actually have separate ones would be to decompile the .apk file for FW Pro and leave all the functionality the same but change any reference to Fancy Widget Pro to a new name (Fancy Widget Extended maybe) to in essence create a new 2nd App that could be installed on my phone. I not quite savvy enough to actually do that, but I'm wondering if I'm correct in that thinking or if someone else has a better idea.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Hi,
Is there any way to personalize the lockscreen (withou installing a new lockscreen app)?
I'm having issues with the meteorology app, beacuse it is always requesting GPS.
Or is there a way to stop the meteorology app from using GPS and just use a city choose by me?
I don't want it accessing the GPS all the time. I've already took it away from the homescreen but I haven't found a way to take it from the lockscreen.
Question 1, no not without installing another launcher. The icons on the LockScreen are the ones on the Dock.
Question 2, I would check in the Meterology App Settings, something along the lines of Location, Default home or something like that. Hard to tell when no one knows exactly which app you are referring to. Most likely look in Settings.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer and sorry for not being explicit.
I was talking about the weather app that comes with the phone.
If I add a new widget from that app to the homescreen I can choose a specific city but the widget on the lockscreen keeps updating using GPS.
If i use another weather app on the homescreen, the one on the lockscreen will not change and it will still be the one that came with the phone.

Basically the same applies. Go into Weather app, Menu(3 dots), Settings and unclick Auto detect my location.
It was the first thing I did!
