home++ on darchdroid

If you are using home++ post here about it, not in the darchdroid thread, lets try to keep that one more on topic
If you don't know what home++ is, it is one of the best home replacement's out there. Check here for more details http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/
This app works with live wallpapers on the 2.1 builds IF you disable workspace looping in the preferences (Home-> menu -> preferences) and you download the beta from the website, not the market place

Yeah I saw all those posts in Darchs thread and wanted to share but did not want to clog up what has been a very productive Dev thread.
I agree Home++ is the best home replacement for 1.6+ devices. I was happy with GDE while on 1.5, but Home++ is in another league. In the market search Home++ Beta.
Here are some screenshots:

Thats right. It is actually by Koxx, a Dev here on XDA. The widgets are great. Very customizable and lots of skins. Check out his post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545097

Its called weather forecast widget. It is also by Koxx, just search his name in the market and you will find all the widgets.
One of the things I really like about Home++ is the ability to use the home screen in landscape mode. Other home replacements I have used also had this feature but did not scale widgets properly. Home++ seems to do a good job with the widgets I have been using.

Digital Clock Widget
I really like the clear theme without the task bar, but miss the task bars functionality. I was able to make a clear task bar in 1.5, but the wallpaper was cropped too short (black task bar). Hopefully that is not a problem with 2.1/Home++ as I am going to try to make a clear task bar for my home screen.
Does anyone know if the task bar is gonna give me hell if I try to change the text white?

high rez HTC clock and weather 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.

Dont worry Developer will rerun to us with new version in a separate identity.
developers last words :
Finally, we would like to share with you some of the things that we are working on and some highly requested features that we plan to bring to future versions of our new widget.
* Weather animations.
* Alternative widget sizes (e.g., 4 x 1).
* Option to change themes/skins.
So thanks again for your support, and stay tuned for our new version!

Clock similar to Beautiful Widgets with NO weather

I am looking for a clock widget that may be similar to beautiful widgets however I do not need the weather part. I just need a quality clock widget.
Any ideas?
[edit] the overall lack of quality clock widgets for android is bizarre

you can hide the weather on beautiful widgets

No Weather Skin for Beautiful Widgets
Look for the "None" skin under "menu, skins, download skins"

'Retro clock' on the market.

with the new update you can hide the weather. see attached

Looking for this as well. A clock widget that looks like Beautiful Widgets without any weather info (not just invisible icons)
I have Digital Clock widget from Maizehttp://www.appbrain.com/app/com.maize.digitalClock
Which would be GREAT if I could change the font to the same as the nexus lock screen clock.

Agreed. I use the digital clock widget mentioned above. No changing of the font though.
I prefer to use weatherbug elite's widget and don't need two homescreen weather icons/info.

Is there an option to change the am/pm position to the right? In all screenshots I've seen, it's on the left of the time..

I can't even get it to display AM/PM

Of course as soon as I say that I get it to work.

I'd like to just have the clock without the weather nor the date either, but not sure if there is anything out there.

Not yet give it a little bit and I'm sure there will be quite a few out there at least six different styles

Maybe this will fit
"Sense Analog Clock Widget 4x2"
http://www.appbrain.com/app/factory.widgets.SenseClock

Does anybody know the name of this clock-widget?

Hi,
I really thought I was up-to-date with all theming related widgets and apps..but today I saw this picture of a clock widget with reflections and customizable colors plus customizable shades!!!
My dream of a clock widget! As far as I know even the great chronotopia clock widget can "just" rotate, but not do reflections....
Does anybody know what widget this is?
thanks!

Notice the IPhone maybe? But it looks like a lwp not just a clock. Try out wp clock

yes- maybe it is just an iphone app... but it is definitely not an lwp.
Because its from an blog for phone styles and the wall is free to download without any widget...
I guess its a themed widget of an iphone app...

Just now saw this. I think you can do this with Chronotopia. Granted I haven't tried it but this is how I would go about it. Duplicate the clock, rotate it so it's upside down. Then in the gradient make it so the alpha blend is 0 at the bottom (or top since it is rotated). That should do the trick, you can also adjust the x position of the gradient to make it fade out faster or slower. Hit me up if you need more help or let me know if it works.

Any live weather wallpaper with user backgrounds?

I love my backgrounds, I have 40 or so that I'm always adding to and use Wall Switch to switch them out every 15 minutes. I'd like to have some indication of weather via LWP for fun, but I haven't seen any way to combine the two.
Anyone seen a weather LWP that lets you specify your own backgrounds, preferably automatically switching them out periodically? I've looked around can't find anything..

A widget sounds like it would work better in this case? I'm assuming you want something displaying the current weather along with a new wallpaper and such?

How you change your WP every 15 min?

I have weather widgets but was thinking it could be possible to overlay wallpaper with weather. Selective darkening, lightening, etc.
The app I use to change wallpaper is called Wall Switch. Hasn't updated in a while but still works pretty good. I should look for a replacement at some point.
