I have found a weather application for the HD2 that far exceeds the Sense UI weather tab and/or Ageye G-Weather. It's called Touch Weather from MobilityFlow (http://www.touch-weather.com/download-cab/).
It gives you a seven days weather forecast with weather screens of morning/noon/evening and night. Swiping up or down changes the time of day. Swiping from right to left changes the day. It has lots of applicable settings and also shows you the humidity factor, the amount of rain/snow, the temperature of the rain, etc , etc, etc. All in all a beautiful weather app that has a trial version for 15 days of the Pro version. The costs aftere that time is ONLY $5!!

383 views and no reactions yet? This program is realy awesome.
This app is already known and I think it's primarily aimed at people who don't have Sense UI on their phone. No need for an app when you already have all the info on your homescreen.
Still nice though.

I do not entirely agree with you on that. Touch Weather gives you far more information then Sense UI weather. You can swipe the screen up and down to see the forecasts from noon until night and from right to left to see an entire week. It als gives you the amount of rain that is to be exprected and the humidity facto and so on.
True, $5 is a bargain I have to say.

Second that, certainly compared to G-Weather which costs 9.99 Euro. And there is also a possibility to get Touch Weather for free by posting to them suggestions for optimization of the program, etc.
o man i love this program
when i last hard rest my HD2 i did not accept the weather settings so now i have a nice clean home tab, nice transparent taskbars etc etc and no weather
with this app i got an even better weather app in return without the homescreen polution
THANNNNKS for the tip
My main concern with this would be that two different weather services will often supply different weather forecasts. Dumb, I know, but it's true. So I'd have one set of weather conditions on my home page, on the clock, and a different one when I run that app.
It makes a lot more sense to only have 1 application, and unless you can tie this app into the home page then I won't be even vaguely interested.
For ppl in sweden and norway, the weatherforecasts by accuweather are pointless, they are incorrect - plain and simple. Accuweather also serves incorrect time-info so that I can see a moon at like 10am
So: Accuweather sucks.
I agree with johncmolyneux, I'm not really interested in any weatherapp as long as i cant pin it to the weatherservice in Sense. I did buy G-Weather though, for my other device (TD2) where I disabled Sense...
AFAIN, Sense UI weather uses AccuWeather. With Touch weather you can choose between AccuWeather, GisMeteo and Intellicast, so you will be able to make the settings of Touch Weather compatible with the Sense UI, though with a lot more options and information than SenseUI weather.

In that case, I'll give it a go then. Thanks
And with Co0kie's home tab, I can link the weather icon on the clock into this application and just get rid of the weather tab.
its nice
but users who have sense ui dont need that

the accuweather setting is only for the US because that's the popular database used there... and i must say, that's what works. Other servers i've seen in weather apps work terribly for the US. So what sucks for you doesn't suck for others
Besides, there are two other servers to choose from in touch weather settings. Have you tried those for Norway and Sweden?

Works fine for me when in Sweden...
It's nice but does anyone else thinks their sun looks weird or is it just me?
Hello, I use this program since its release and helped in the translation into Spanish, the truth is in continuous development and extension, it is true that the time varies greatly depending on the server, but this provided more servers and its optimization.
My personal opinon is that it is a great program.
Sorry for my bad English writing
the best weather for windows is this, it has everything, it use weather.com , huminty, hour by hour, what you need, and you have two sources to compare, pocket whether.... enjoy, is not free, but good things you have to pay for......

good luck!
I feel like I searched everywhere! On my TP2 with MSMobile, there was an addin for more weather locations for the Weather Theme. I found one link to directions for the Android saying if you press the add locations/search you can get gmaps to come up and select from there, but it won't work on the Incredible. Anyone know how?
By the way, this thing is amazing! Too bad it's not Global!
Yeah on my old Hero if I pressed search Google maps would come up, but on the Incredible nothing. I'm guessing this is a small bug that will get fixed in a future update. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know.
Hit the weather part of the screen under the clock and it will take you to weather just like the tp2 did. Then you can add to your hearts content with the plus.
Yours must work different, because that's what I did, then it won't find cities. Ashville, Blowing Rock, Hilton Head Island.... examples of popular destinations, but they aren't there.
Feels like there are only 10 cities in their list. Really sad.
Is their such an app that allows for a single, wide, wallpaper that scrolls with tabs? I came across HDWall but i am skeptical about using it, plus all i want is what i described above and nothing more.
such features are called panoramic wallpaper, one of android's eye candy IMHO
as far as i know, the only app that able to bring you that panoramic thingy is the HDWall, and judging by the huge number of users, it should be good and safe enough to use.
..or try searching for MaxManila around the forum, it also has the ability to enable panoramic wallpaper, but it'll also put in a lot of other features you might not really need.
otherwise, buy an android phone instead
Moved as not software release.
Is there any registry fix or hack which could allow the weather animations to continuously run?
Thanks to some of the weather mods on here (Atmosfera at the moment), I'd be quite happy to have the animations running all day long, even if it hits the battery.
Seperately, it made me think that if this was possible, you could make the equivalent of animated "fore-skins" for your homescreen (e.g. a flock of birds that fly around and then come back etc.)
Is this a load of rubbish or is this possible? Thanks!
Oh, I very interesting about this to...
Why noone answers here?
It probably would be possible to have a constant weather animation but it wouldnt just be a simple case of editing the registry......
would also probably destroy your battery and slow down the device.........
For animated forelayer your answer lies in this thread......
but to save you some time........ the answer is no............
there are some birds in there but they aint movin.........
I've been using Android for over half a decade now, and as much as I like the OS there is a feature which has never caught my attention nor sympathy, WIDGETS. I have a personal preference of keeping my screen as uncluttered and free as possible that's why I only use folders to stack all of my apps. The only widget I have ever used is Dictionary.com which is nice and unobtrusive but if it didn't exist I wouldn't be bothered to even go into the widgets tab, so my question to the community is: Do you like widgets, couldn't care less, or can't leave without them? I am curious as to what the general consensus is out there. Vote and comment below on how do you put or not to use these feature. Thanks for participating.
I use a handful of widgets. A weather widget, clock, dictionary.com, gmail, and a hotspot widget. I like widgets, obviously, but I don't go wild with them. The fact that I can do whatever I want with widgets is just one of many reasons I like Android, and scoff at people stuck with the lack of customization that iOS gives them.
Well I only have the clock widget on my home, but if you don't want them you shouldn't be all upset about em, I mean many people like or want them and it is hidden anyway so it shouldn't really bother you (long press home) unless you have a galaxy (and it's always stalking you in the app drawer )
I don't hate them or anything of the sort, I am just indifferent.
