How Do I Get Full Screen Weather Animation With Launcher Pro?

I like the full screen animation that displays when I unlock on the stock Sense. I'm running Virtuous and using Launcher Pro. I have tried some nice widget apps but I have not found that kind of animation for Launcher Pro. Anyone know how to get this (preferably free .

There is but it won't play wenu open phone u havta open app. Think it's. Animated weather or something like tht. I wanted same thing udo but couldn't find anything close.

Beautiful Widgets can be set up to display weather animations on phone unlock.

I was wondering if it did that. Downloaded some gorgeous custom Beautiful click widgets from this forum today. If I can install the app and get screen animation it will be worth the few bucks. Thanks.

Also "Weather & Toggle Widgets" does the unlock animations, I think it's $1.99 in the market. You do have to download the "Forecast Addon" but it's free. There're some nice skins for it in the market as well.

Yes I saw a youtube on that. A comment said it was a bit out of date and recommended Beautiful. Any idea which is best?
I just now put on beautiful super widget. Very nice. The custom clock I put on from xda is nicer though. It's a "Fancy" widget but not animated. Named HTCclockwidget-redrum. I'd love that clock with animated weather.
Anyway I'm happy now. Thanks guys. Maybe I'll even try Weather and Toggle to check the skins.
Gotta love XDA

You can give fancy Widgets a try too.

Fancy Widgets Pro does full screen weather on unlock (in any app. Not just when u are on the home screen). Well worth it

Launcher with favorite widgets?

Just wondering if there are any launchers that is similar to Sense but without all the bloat sense has? I really like sense's favorites and friends stream. Does Launcher Pro do all that?

If you buy the full version of launcher pro, it includes a set of widgets that are modeled after the sense widgets. The calendar and people widgets are nearly identical, and the social network widgets are actually superior imo.

Sweet! Excellent first post their buddy!

What about Go Launcher? Does it have similar widgets as you described?

In the admittedly short time I've played with GO Launcher, It doesn't appear to have extra widgets. However, as mentioned before, Launcher Pro Plus has a contacts widget that you can set to show favorites. I highly recommend LP plus. I've been using Launcher Pro for over a year on every device I've had. I just can't find a launcher thats as smooth and bug free.

fancy widges and beautiful widgets are both good and give a decent sense like clock.

I would definitely recommend lpp. The widgets are quite similar to what sense has to offer, except I really like the sense news widget which lpp does not have. I have yet to find a similar news widget on the market that compares to sense, does anybody know if there is one available?

Here's a question, I'm coming to the bolt from the original Moto Droid. Lovin the Bolt but hate the Phone app, the moto would list frequently dialed number on the opening screen and you could search easier as well. Wondering if there is a mode that changes just the phone app. The rest of sense I like but the phone app drives me crazy!

I went ahead and purchased LPP. Running smooth. Next purchase will be beutiful widgets. Thanks guys!

You can use Go Contacts. This includes Go Dialer.
I do not like the HTC Sense dialer/contacts much either. Cannot wait for CM.

[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.

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.

Sense world clock replacement.

Hello All! I was wondering if anyone know any replacements for the sense clock app. I am running Virtuous Inquisition and the only thing I really miss is the world clock app from sense.
Does anyone know any apps that have timer and stopwatch and world clock functionality?
I restored my Titanium backup of the sense clock but I can't add any cities to the world clock, so it's useless for me. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

UltraChron is a good timer/stopwatch replacement - for world clock try: World Clock & widget

Hello,
i would suggest you to try
Beautiful widgets: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&hl=de
or
Fancy Widgets: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets&hl=de
Both are good

You won't really find one as polished and beautiful as the sense clock.

Ahh I see I already have beautiful widgets. I got it on the 10c sale. I use on my homescreen, but it doesn't have a separate clock application. It just uses whatever is in the ROM.

Yes I am starting to see this. It's very surprising as the iPhone has it and usually there are apps that will try to accomplish the same thing on android. If anyone is looking for an app to write, here is a good one. I would certainly buy it.
Also I wish I could get the world clock from working on Virtuous Inquisition. Everything works except searching for cities. There must some app or framework which has been removed that will accomplish this. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really really appreciate it.

[Q] Clock Widgets

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.

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.
