i want to get those 2 widgets, where i can get them
i attached 2 pics of one tmobile phone and some att phone i saw
on a bestbuy add
i like those widgets because it seems to have the luxury phone feel
my samsung doesnt have any markings on the outside
so i can fake my bettle for a bmw
Those look like HTC's Sense weather widgets to me. I don't know for certain, but I'm sure I remember seeing a Sense-based ROM running on the Samsung Galaxy S2, so you may be able to get something similar for yours.
Ask in the device-specific forums for your phone - they should know better.
Thanks Simon

Simon is correct, they are Sense widgets and only come with Sense ROMs... however, Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets do a pretty good imitation... both can be found in Google Play.

hey does anyone know if there is a good theme out for the Beautiful Home widget to make it have that Droid x/2 motoblur theme? i cant find anything that really fits in with my home screen, and if there is no such thing can someone make one for me if they know how to ? thanks
HA, i would say 90% of everyone comes here to get away from the moto blur.
Your gonna have a long road ahead of you trying to stick with that "theme".
That being said, to answer your question. No, I dont think there is one. Scrolling the whole list in BW clock skins and lots of google searches is what your in for my friend.
Everyone seemes to hate blur. I dont have my X yet But from what ive seen i dont mind the way the way it looks. But also from what i have heard and the fact that ive already purchased launcher pro plus when i had my captivate i will be using that instead of the stock launcher coupled with beatiful widgets will be awesome but a theme like this could be cool
So, decided to try this launcher...priced at $14.95 I was skeptical. Love what it adds to my Tab experience however. Yes, definitely overpriced...but totally changes your Tab to eye-candy goodness.
Loving the Message widget, totally dig the 3D carousel effect. The World Clock widget is fun, and the whole thing gives my Tab a quasi Honeycomb feel. (in that it's much more flashy to show off, and some of the widgets are great!)
It's a bit of a memory hog @ roughly 90mb usage...but I tend to keep things skinny usually anyways, so no ill effects.
EDIT: I can't help but notice how lag-free this launcher is. I truly expected something so flashy to come with bunches of lag...so not the case. Amazingly smooth.
Here's a video demo for your perusal:

LOL true...still I don't mind tossin $15 to something that makes my Tab turn a few heads & make things more enjoyable to use!
I'd give it a shot if there was a free trial..

Hrmm, it looks ok, but definitely not worth $15, if it had more skins for each "page" maybe id think about it, can you make your own skins for it? If you can id be interested as i could make a honeycomb-ish one.
let us know what the battery life is like with all that home screen animation. Also, what ROM are you on? Did it install like a regular Home app like LauncherPro? Are you able to switch between this and other home apps?
Oh and would you mind taking a video of it on the tab? How does it look in landscape mode?
IMO everything ist too big. Icons, Widgets, etc fit better on smaller screen sizes.
I uninstalled it. Its very, very nice but i wait for a tablet-optimized release!
from the brief go I had with it , I couldnt get it in Landscape lol..
I gave this a quick try. And its pretty crap to be honest. I couldn't get any of the 3d Widgets to work, should be 2$
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

Right I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 on my Nokia N97, there were really lots of skins available.
I thought Samsung Galaxy Tab was not supported yet ?
They say its not supported for tablets because they're working on a tablet specific app.

Just gave it a try. Not worth those 15 bucks. Even more if compare to LauncherPro (which is a LOT more configurable). It could have been a nice shot for a cheaper price, but beside those 3D effects it doesn't relly offer anything more than Launcher Pro or any other launcher in the market. I have LP running both on my Galaxy Tab and Desire HD and it is way better on both devices.
I've bought it, but have already installed. I agree that the graphics are to big for the G Tab. I had other problems too. Like when I click on the time it doesn't open the clock. Same thing with the alarm...
You can't customize the panels. Most of then are the way they idealized it, and you can't change. The carrousel is beautiful but not that useful. It doesn't compare to Launcher Pro or ADW in terms of customization.
Way too expensive!

Battery life seems unaffected, I haven't noticed a dip from normal. I'm running Overcome Rom, OC to 1.4GHZ. Yes it works like any other launcher, can switch back and forth as you'd like. Currently it's only designed to work in portrait mode. I imagine a Tablet version will be coming, that will make use of landscape mode.
I'll see about making a short video of usage on the Tab.
I think it makes the tab look like a cheap knockoff with the big clunky graphics lol

"Not supported" isn't the same as "doesn't work on it". It runs fine. Maybe it's not Gingerbread compatible.
All of SPB's apps are overpriced, I feel this should be only $10, it is quite good although it's not without its limitations, and its massive memory footprint.
Ill probably wait for the tablet version with a landscape mode before getting this. Wouldn't want to show it off to my iPad friends , only for them to turn it sideways and see it doesn't work that way.

Wow... just WOW! Look at those icons! Bubbles moving, and the moving also depends on the live wallpaper.
Can it be done for the today's mobile phones? Eg: Nexus S, Desire, Desire HD, Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, LG Optimus??
i think its a launcher, not a live wallpaper.
looks great. im sure once that phone starts shipping to devs (i heard its 1500$) someone will provide a dump so you can possibly have that launcher on your phone

I would be interested in a Touchwiz port as well. Mostly just for the puzzle lock and the messaging app.
If you are interested in TouchWiz,why don't you buy a galaxy s2?
You actually WANT Touchwiz? *mind explodes*
Fun fact: not everyone dislikes TW or likes Sense.
now let me get this straight !
you want 2 replace sense with touchwiz ??? ! ?
please tell me that I got this wrong pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
I like Touch Wiz better than Sense as well. It looks more like vanilla Android minus the horizontal app drawer. I can't stand the new version of Sense. Its not optimized and it has too much eye candy to apease the mainstream user. In my opinion, Touch Wiz is the more polished UI. We all know its more optimized.

i would love to see this happen too, tw is really clean and seems like it would run smooth on the sensation. i love sense but its just eye candy and slows down performance
I don't want to replace it. I just want to see how it looks . a problem is it would be the sense 3 port all over again only in reverse. Sgs2 has a 800x400 display unlike the sensation's 960x540 display

This thread is funny. Not only does someone actually want TouchWiz, but someone else said they want MotoBlur. While we're at it maybe someone can also get a working BB os7 os port working on our phone.

Besides the horizontal app drawer. What is wrong with Touch Wiz? It comes with a better email and text client. Its contacts client is miles better and the swiping on contacts to call and text is one of the best features I've ever seen. Its twitter and Facebook integration is also better and its dock icons are interchangeable unlock the dock on Sense.
It doesn't have all that useless eye candy like Sense does. Who the hell needs the home screen to zoom in when unlocking their device. That's just stupid. Don't even get me started on the useless carousel feature. That right there is as worthless as a female in the fire department.

TW contacts is nice I'll give you that. Swiping to the left or right is a great feature. When my Vibrant was my daily driver, all everyone could talk about was getting rid of TW. The launcher sucks, the icons/theme is gross, and samsung widgets aren't better than sense widgets. In my opinion of course. Lol, in fact if you go over to Galaxy S forums they ask about porting Sense to TW devices. The grass is always greener on the other side I suppose.
The sexism in your post wasn't needed though. You don't need a (man part) to be an EMT, or climb a ladder.

Nope, your right. Women make great EMT's and they can climb a ladder. Its the throwing of a ladder they cant seem to accomplish. They also have trouble dragging a fully charged 2 inch hose up a flight of steps. It just aint happening my friend. I work in one of the busiest city's for fires. Not some jolly volly company out in the boondocks who only see fire twice a year. I see this **** first hand and I'm telling you. Women do not have the upper body strength to perform the duty s of this job. Hell, there's some men who don't belong doing this job.
It's not sexism if it's the truth. I'm not PC and that's whats wrong with today's society. We don't have standards and we try to meet quotas to appease the minority's. Whatever happened to BEST MAN FOR THE JOB!
When it comes to Sense widgets being better than TW widgets, your right. However, I don't use any of the widgets. When it comes to the icons on TW looking bad. I don't understand how they do. They look the same to me.
How many of you have even seen or used TW4? Not many unless you have friends with an imported SGS2. I came from ADW and find TW totally inoffensive. Like JR said, it's light, fast, and doesn't screw with the native Android feel of the phone. I totally get why people would like the all-in integrated experience of Sense but TW is a totally different approach. Other than less UI customization options it's no different than any other launcher out there. And some of the Samsung widgets which are exclusive to TW are pretty cool. Starting at the bottom of the thread below I posted pics of TW4 configured on my phone.

Your right. Most of these people haven't even used the new version of TW. Like the one guy who said the Icons were ugly. I can see how one would think that with TW 3.0 when it had the colored boxes surrounding them but now that they were removed, there is no difference in the looks of the icons. Like you said. TW 4 is the least intrusive UI and is also the most polished/optimized UI. There is absolutely no reason to hate it unless you dislike vanilla Android.
And to prove the grass is always greener somewhere else, here's a thread in the SGS2 forum where people are looking for a Sense 3.0 port.

Every forum you read, people are always looking for UI ports. It the norm these days. People want options and everyone has a different preference.
Touchwiz 3 is horrible, touchwiz 4 is nice.

Original TouchWiz isn't possible to install on Huawei devices because of different framework. But you can download launchers like S launcher and see if it's good enough for you.
