[Q] Clock Widgets - HTC Sensation

So, I've been using Beautiful Widgets since Eclair. I was wondering two things:
1) What is a good, highly customizable, clock widget? Specifically one where I can use a non-system font to personalize it.
2) In general, without my specifications, what is your favorite clock widget?

Ultimate custom clock

Tried Ultimate Clock but ended up using Advanced Clock. I'll try Ultimate again but the interface didn't lend itself to picking a new font.

if you liked Beautiful Widgets you will Love Fancy Widgets. I would highly recommend you to try it out!

you should try beweather.

There is a big thread on Xda forums for skins for ultimate custom clock, beautiful widgets is quite good but I found fancy widgets to be a huge battery drain.

UCCW is awesome, but if you are on ICS (or using any of the ICS versions) the widgets don't refresh like it does with BW. IMO BW is the best in working wise, while customization goes to UCCW. I mean UCCW widgets do work, but they are a bit delayed. I think it has to do with the lockscreen. Not sure why though.

Bought Fancy Widgets a while back but haven't used it in a while. Might be time to go back!

Htc flip clock

Does anyone know if I can get an htc flip clock app for the galaxy s 4g

look for fancy widgets or beautiful widgets in the market.
fancywidget is a direct replica of it and beautiful widgets has the same layout but is highly customizable.
Weather & Toggle
Get fancy widget and download the h7c skin. Not sure if the regular version has skins but the pro does. If you are expecing the clock to actually flip you might be dissapointed to see it not flip. Ive tried beautiful widgets, weather and toggle, etc but this one is my favorite.

Fancy widget is the one i use, coupled with widget locker for a full "sense" feel.. works well together.
And once rooted widget locker is seamless.
Just got the fancy widget app, pretty dope. Thanks guys

beautiful widgets is a direct descendent of htc sense clock
i read somewhere that beautiful widgets actually stepped on some HTC toes and had to change SOMETHING to please HTC and now all is good between the two. however imho, beautiful widgets was worth the payment to add the animations and a bonus of the beautiful live wallpaper that directly reflects the current weather... a footnote; the wallpaper doesnt work "correctly per say" if beautiful widgets isnt installed.
it is nice and has a clock called "supersense" that looks exactly like the htc flippy clock...
Fancy widget pro is available for free today only (Easter Sunday) on the amazon app store. Worth it for $2 and now that its free there's no reason not to get it.

Try the lg 2x clock its brilliant and on here somewhere (in xda forums)

[Request][App] Flipclock (It's not exactly what you think)

Hey guys. I'm in search of an animated flip clock, identical to the one found on HTC devices. After hours of looking around, I've decided that there is not one out there that flips AND looks just like the HTC one. However, after playing around with Better Alarm Clock Pro, I found that it has a working flip clock built into the app, but it cannot be used as a widget. This brings out the question: Can this portion of the app be ported so that it is a widget? I am rooted, on an Optimus V running Stock ROM with everything stipped, if it matters. Thank you.
Just use fancy widget, looks and flips pretty much the same

Fancy Widget with the H7C skin looks almost exactly like the sense flip clock.
Go weather's htc style widget looks close too. Just download go weather and then the skin for the widget.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
He wants it to flip too. Like the animation. This isn't currently possible according to fancy widget. It is in the FAQ on their site.
Fancy Widget Pro is quite good to pretend as HTC Sense clock, Retro Clock Widget is an alternative for simple flip clock
I believe the flipping animation is part of Sense UI... soo you can't exactly replicate that.
Anyways I understand it'd look cool for the first hour or so when you're looking at your widget to flip..
you'll forget about it later, and it'll cause to be nothing more than a battery eater.
I own fancy widget pro and am using the h7c skin, but it doesn't flip. Better alarm clock pro has a working flipclock built in and I just want to know if it can be ported?

Hello? Surely this is possible?
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
Try a LWP instead of a widget search the Marketplace for "Live Wallpaper Flip Clock" by Sergey Golovanov it is not bad and may accomplish the effect you are looking for.
Thanks for the reply, RifRaf, looking into it at this very moment. But my original question is still not answered. PLEASE can anyone tell me if it is possible to port it. I don't know how to develop apps or scripts or any of that stuff. All I know is that the flip clock is there, within the app, and I just want it on my homescreen.
The flip is part of htc's framework. Its not part of androids. Theres no way to make it work.

well I know I sound like I'm a dumbass here, but I know that the stock android system is capable of animated Widgets. I've used a clock with rolling animation, so I know that animation is possible. I also know that better alarm clock pro has the HTC flip clock. How can it not be possible to animate the flip clock as a widget? All of the image files are there, it just needs to be coded or scripted or whatever (I'm not programming inclined, obviously). If anyone can make a widget out of this, I would be happy to give them a few drinks.

If youre not programming inclined then why do you insist it can be done? I have been told by many developers, it can not be done. Talk to any sense dev, theyll tell you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
Can any developers just theme this app using the image sets found in better alarm clock pro? Idk If it is possible to add weather but would it not be possible to theme it?

Look, if I had several hundred dollars to throw away just so I could get a damn flip clock....I am fine with my phone how it is. The flip clock is 100% possible, there was a working flip clock posted earlier in this thread. It just needs to be themed to look like the htc one.
I have my entire sense theme put together, I just need this flip clock widget to happen, so I can make it complete.
It doesn't really look like HTC Sense, but it flips...
Try out "Animating Flip Clock Widget" - it's free on the market. I'm sure the apk could be modded to look more like the Sense clock.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized the link posted earlier was the same widget. Oh well... but yeah, I'm sure it could be modded, but making it look exactly like the Sense flip clock, including weather, the dark background behind the tabs, etc... might be difficult.

What's the best clock widget?

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Kind of a loaded question really. What are you looking for? Small, big, colorful, informative, minimal....the list can go on. You can go from Beautiful widgets to make your own clock.
Boils down, what do YOU want and what do you want your clock to look like. There are a lot of options to choose from, many are free. Try em out for yourself! You may find one that you like an others are "meh" with.
Thanks I will look into that. But just incase, am looking for a big analog one
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
MIUI clock widgets on the market place are pretty good for analog clocks. currently using the white version.
for functionality i use fancy or beautiful widgets based on the htc sense one. for aesthetic allure i use mclock. there are lots of nice mclock themes to choose from so i couldnt pick a favorite
Beautiful Widgets is so customisable that it manages to cover just about every mood I setting through.

stock sense 4 clock is pretty good.
Minimalistic text is also quite beatiful
UCCW for the nitpicky clock widget people like me.

Best clock/weather widget?

I am pretty bored of the beautiful weather widget and want to try something new. Any recommendations? Don't like too much clutter on my home screen, so would like something small but fancy.
Thanks!
My go to all the time is beweather. Find it in the market. Best weather app hands down and the devs are great guys too.

To give recommendations on this is going to be subjective to the individual. I used BW for a while, then switched to Fancy Widgets. I have used multiple other weather and clock widgets as well. I am running CM7 and my choice of clocks and/or weather widgets really depends on my theme of the week (or day). I like beweather as well and it goes great with a theme I have. I have 5 weather widgets (google news and weather included) that I switch up and the only pain I have is turning off or minimizing refresh times for weather. Is there anything in particular you are looking for such as weather only, clock and weather, 4x1, 2x1, etc?
Beautiful widgets released a big update. Give it a try again!

Beautiful widgets is a very good app. They jujst had a big update and their clocks have lots of customization, and they look identical to HTC Sense clocks/weather widgets
Im using HD Widgets and im very happy whit it

Weather widget from touchwiz onto an AOSP ROM?

Just curious if its possible at all. I would think not but perhaps someone can surprise me. Currently on liquid smooth and wouldn't mind having that widget back again...or perhaps someone knows of one similar in the market? Thanks!

Beautiful Widgets is decent, you also got Glass Widgets, HD Widgets, and even some of the customizable widgets like UCCW you can create your own look to the weather.
