Live wallpapers with home screen replacements?

Maybe someone else here can shed some light on this for me. I love the live wallpapers. I know they are gimmicky, but they are cool. That said, I always use home screen replacement apps. Panda was one of my favorite, but after using sweeterhome2 I may have found a new favorite. But I digress, it seems that in these replacements the live wallpapers do not work. I've tried GDE, Panda and Sweeterhome and none of them can get the live wallpapers to show up.
Would anyone happen to know why? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks!

Well the 2.1 SDK is out so just give it time!

Beautiful Widgets -> Weather inaccurate...

I have Beautiful Widgets Home with weater, and the Beautiful Weather Live wallpaper. It is really cool.
But, there is no way to configure who to use for a weather provider, and it is not even close. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I don't think so.
I have it set to update every hour. And over the past 2 hours it has dropped from low 90s to 74, and has been raining for 90 min or so.
the weather on the home says 95 degrees, and the live weatehr page shows brigh sunny, with white clouds going by.
Anyone having better luck with this?
[EDIT]
I think maybe I figured it out. We'll see after some changing weather.
But I had it checked on settings to use GPS. But, GPS doesn't come in inside the house, so it had wrong location. Even thought Geolocation was set too. But I unchecked the GPS, and saved it, and it appears to have the weather right for the live wallpaper.
Anyone know how geolocation works? (I think I'm remering the name of it right).

i am also having a problem with the Widget and live wallpaper updating. The sun rises and sets and it gets dark but my Temp is not updating and we just had a crazy storm here and it still says sunny....any help?

I had fancy Widgets which had weather but it was off by 4 or 5 degrees F.
Got rid of it. Using just digotal clock now. Simple and no wrong info.

i must have changed something....can someone post some good settings? This is one of the most downloaded apps so i must just be screwing something up.

I know that time stops updating if you use a task killer and kill beautiful widgets. I imagine this applys to the weather also.

I think this is an issue that the LevelUp Studio people are aware of. According to this tweet, it sounds like they're going to release an update that uses a new weather data provider.

It's a problem with Google's weather service. Every app and widget that pulls data from Google's weather services has been having problems for a while now. That's why they will be switching to a new provider.

Until I can get a cool clock/weather app that works correctly, I will use it. Until then, I use retro clock and Weather Bug.

Beautiful widgets has been updated to use accuweather.com for forcasts now.

This is correct and works great now.

I'm having weather updating issues with the current Beautiful Widgets. Anyone else? No task killer running. Using Accuweather. Manually clicking update does nothing. Would be nice if it showed a last updated timestamp. I can click to weather details and I see that Accuweather has different weather than the widget.
Does the developer have an official support channel? Can't find one and he never responded to a twitter request.

I think they may have. I just tried to find it by going to their links in Appbrain, but only found a home page with no method there to communicate to them.
But at this link on Appbrain, there is an icon to click where you can email them. I have no idea if you will get support or response.

HTC Photo Album Widget

Are there any similar widgets available on the Android Market similar to the HTC Photo Album Widget(s)? (Specifically the photo grid one and/or the swipe up/down one.)
The constant HTC "loading" after pressing home from any other app is ridiculously frustrating and these widgets are the only thing preventing me from switching to another launcher. I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement widget, but perhaps my search skills aren't up to par.
Anyone know of any widgets with similar functionality? (Basically any widget that isn't fixed to just one photo at a time, with some sort of interactivity allowing you to flip through photos right from the widget.)

Anyone?

Have you tried multiple slideshow?

Quickpic has a widget?

I liked that widget too. That tile grid is fly, but it was certainly not worth me keeping Sense. I switched to Launcher Pro. I looked for some on the market, but I did not see anything remotely similar to that widget.

no. I think he's just stating that he uses it instead of the gallery app.

Aye. I use it all the time. I love it! It looks great and very slick.
Plus, it's great for theft deterrent. I misplaced my phone in a store and one of the employees was able to easily return it to me since my pictures were all over the home screen.
I tried the Multipic Slideshow Widget, but wow, it just does not compare.
I wonder why slideshow widgets are so few and far between? Seems like an easy place to clean up since there are no worthwhile competitors.

I understand completely

I feel you on the theft. That is why my lockscreen is the one where you can use a photo album as the source. ALL my family and friends come in and out of focus when the phone needs to be unlocked. You can steal my phone, but you can't steal my family (though i wish some members could be "borrowed" for an extended period of time. lol).
As for the widget, I am not sure if it is a htc proprietary thing. I just know I would use it in launcher pro. Again, this is the ONLY widget I like from Sense but I am not going to use Sense just for this app. I will keep looking for alternatives and post back if I find something.
