[REQUEST] HTC Desire weather widget

I love the WIPER effect of the weather widget of the Desire ROM. Is there a way to push the widget into a CM ROM ?
P_

i dont think so, but there is Beautiful widgets and weather widgets on the app market. they have htc skins.

Get the Flip Clock with Weather app (called Weather Widget) from the market and it looks like the HTC Weather/Clock widget and when you click on the Weather display, if it is raining it does the whole raindrops with wiper and all that stuff.
Worth getting the donate version.

Both apps don't do anything automatically though you have to click them. Stock home doesn't support animated widgets yet.

I hope it could be in Cyanogen... I love sun animation when I unlock the screen

Any updates on this? I see that the camera has been ported over so Im sure this can be ported over!

I don't believe it's possible to port over the HTC weather widget because it requires the Rosie framework (which is unique to HTC).
Beautiful Widgets had been making good progress on this up until December of last year when they received a C&D letter from HTC. So now any design/revision has to be approved by HTC first. Unless a developer here is willing to undertake this task don't really see something identical to Sense coming to fore.

Oh well, in the mean time I DL the donate version and very satisfy with it =)

I was using beautiful weather but recently switched to Weather Widget... it's much cleaner nicer looking and I like how you can bind the clicks to the regular clock and the 2.1 weather app... not sure if u can do that on the beautiful one too or not but config and everything else is just nicer on weather widget... well worth the $$.
Not sure if this is a port or a complete code-from-scratch but either way it looks very much like the htc weather/clock.

You can also try doing a search for Beautiful widget 2.35. This was the last version before HTC made the developer change it.

I really want the awd launcher but.....

I really like the features that the sense weather and clock widget, and it isn't offered with that of the awd. Is there any way to have the same features that the sense weather and clock widget have on this type of launcher. Ohh and I got the fancy weather widget, but its just not the same as the regular. HALP!

You can't have both. You have to choose.

You can only find replacements...once again sense widgets only work with the sense home.

look for fancy widgets on the market

Whatever, the widgets suck with HTC's Sense anyway.

My big thing is the HTC News widget. My favorite and can't find anything that's similar.

Really about the only thing I miss from sense, but it was a *nice* news widget!

Who cares if it is exactly the same? They have more skins and options than the Sense clock could ever hope for. I'm sure you could find something that you like just as much or more.

life is a series of trade offs, isnt it!
I missed the Sense widget initially, but, after doing alot of searching, I found great stuff to use with Launcher Pro...

Like what?? Im curious to know what every one is using in place of the sense widgets, and what ones are better.

Weather & Toggle Widgets are my favorites (mainly because the Beautiful Widgets brightness widget doesn't work with Sense phones).

I use weather and toggle with the sense clock and weather icon clones (h7c-clock.zip and h7c.zip) which you can download through the apps settings. I also have the forecast add-on for weather toggle which is nice.

I agree
I hear you, I miss the Picture Gallery and bookmark widgets, I really want to quickly view my pictures and recorded videos like on the Touch Pro 2.
I have found a nice calendar replacement, and music replacement. It's a trade off, My co-worker also has an EVO, so I like mine to look totally sleek and different, i'm happy with ADW launcher.

[WIDGET] News/RSS Scrollable for Froyo

I'm coming from using the desire rom and I find the news widget it has functional and useable. Its nice, customizable and scrollable. I use it to get updates from engadget and gizmodo, but coming to froyo I can't find anything even remotely comparable. I can't believe there's no simple clean 4x4 capable & scrollable widgets out there. I've searched and haven't found any so I'm asking if anyone here knows of any that's good and compatible with Froyo or even a way to use the HTC news widget outside of sense ui.
Thanks in advance.

you do realize, of course, that need you need a special home replacement to do scrollable widgets? Hmm? ADW or home++ blah blah. Anyway, the only ones that scroll are the pure messenger and pure calendar and a dumb bookmark one. Unless I'm missing one, anyone?
ps you're right that would be awesome, i'm surprised no one has started making more scrollable widgets for the new launchers. Francois Deslandes is the man, I guess.

Thanks for the reply, but does pure messenger do rss though?

no rss. it does email, facebook, twitter and sms

(request) HTC Clock Widget for vanilla

i am currently using the virtuous 2.5 rom and have been trying out skyraider vanilla and wanna switch to it except i cant seem to give up the clock widget. is there anyway to get it on the other roms? i prefer other roms to the stock sense i just cant get over the clock as weird as that sounds.

No not weird at all. I'm the same way. At last some one that understands. I've been using Beautiful Widgets very similar. Not the clock and weather toggle. I bought that and it wasn't quite up to par. No raindrops on the glass or clouds and thunder. Beautiful Widgets was worth the money though. I was going to check this Digital Clock out too. Just haven't yet. If you try it let me know how you like it.

The sense widgets REQUIRE sense framework and the rosie launcher.
There was an app that was pulled from the market called 'Fancy Widget'. All I will say is that it was pulled via C&D by HTC themselves for being 'too similar' to the proprietary clock widget you are looking for.
"Fancy Widget" Google is your friend.

Yeah Fancy Widget is the one run by the Weather and Toggle app you have to buy to make it run. Not really what the sense clock is like. I liked the Beautiful Widgets way better. You can play with different skins till you find one that suits you and the Boca weather skin is just like the sense weather.

Actually. That is not correct. Fancy Widget is different and you can Google it. I use it because you can set if to update more frequently. If the stock app updated every 30 minutes like you can set Fancy Widget to do I would still be using it...

what about other HTC widgets? I would love to use LauncherPro but I have to have the HTC Photo Album widget to show off my new baby girl. I know there are other photo widgets and I have tried almost all of them but none can compare to the HTC. Please help I am sick of using the rest of Sense....

Every HTC specific widget cannot be run on any Launcher except Rosie and cannot be ported without making an exact replica with the same images like Fancy Widget. People need to realize this and stop asking.

There is a separate Widget named Fancy Widget, it was pulled from the Market, because... IT IS EXACTLY the same as HTC clock, they literally copied the images. It is wonderful, a little more flexible, and can be setup to check more often, and launch whichever clock and weather app you choose when you touch.... Only thing it does not do is animations. Google "Fancy Widget apk" and really look as stated prior if you want the HTC clock...
If you want something attractive, slightly different, and still free check out
Weather Widgets (yr.no) http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ermesjo.yr I switch between this and Fancy Widget based on how I am feeling lol
As for anyone missing other HTC widgets... support Launcher Pro and purchase Launcher Pro Plus, the widgets are very comparable... and the guy has written a wonderful piece of software... so pay the 2.99!!

I just downloaded Fancy Widget 1.3 and it is basically the same exact thing as the HTC Sense Clock widget but it allows you to configure what application it launches when you hit the weather icon, date or time. I just installed it and haven't seen if it does the weather animations but I could care less about that.

[Q] Good Replacements for HTC Sense Widgets

Hey guys, i really love the AOSP ROMs, but i miss the sense widgets a lot. Anyone know any good replacements for them, especially the following widgets?
=>People Widget
=>Friend Stream
=>The Giant Weather Clock (there's a ton, i need to know which you think is the best)
=>Messages
PS - I do not want to install a launcher like ADW, GoLauncher or LauncherPRO, so keep those suggestions out. Thanks.

in my opinion the best replacement for the weather clock widget ist fancy widget
ty it out

Thanks, will try it. I really need a widget to replace the PEOPLE widget, i really miss that...

sry cant help you there because i never used that widget

Pure Messenger Widget replaces Friend Stream for me. It can also display Emails, Messages and Call History. Pure Calendar Widget replaces the huge Sense Calendar widget.

Android pro widgets does the trick for me when I go non-sense. Although the "people" equivalent is not linked to facebook, sms and etc.

Yeah, i am using that now. The widgets are not nearly as polished as those in sense,but they'll do.

I like the go launcher widgets most, they are near by to the sense ones, but unfortunately not useable without go launcher(except go weather widget, a nice replacement for the sense clock/wheater widget).

i prefer the go weather app for weather. it works without the need for go launcher. as for people... im still searching... btw, chk out agile lock if u want the lockscreen. it works well, no lag and like in sense, you can put custom lockscreen apps...

I use gosms pro for messages, really good imo

I use Photo Contacts Widget

The HD Widgets (recently in that 10p sale) is very nice. I've used it in post #282 of the screen shots thread. Not as many skins as Beautiful Widgets, but still a nice looking clock.
Another clock I like which doesn't get much of a mention is WP Clock. It's more of a Live Wallpaper than a clock, but it lefts you have a nice, clutter free main homescreen.
