Looks like we're on our way to some cool looking Android Interfaces.
Great find hopefully themes and such will come soon, hopefully!
what we also need is widgets like a weather forecast widget, and a phone status widget
I think a slideshow option for the desktop picture frame would be awesome!

Although needed, I don't think the widget SDK is out yet. I'm sure we'll get more widgets than we'll ever need once it comes out and users get accustomed to making them.

I have the SGS and I would like to get a semi transparent calender for it like the HTC.
I think this is a beautiful calender and looks much better then the standard SGS calender.
Where can I get this.
Don't know about the HTC type calendar, but I use 'Smooth Calendar' available free from the Market. The widget can be set to transparent and shows your appointments in an agenda format list.

Pure Grid Calender looks like the HTC one and is skinable and every skin you can control the transparency level on.

I like pure calendar as it can be made smaller - really good apps both of them!
Thanks
I'll look into both of them
I'm looking for a Sense style flip clock/weather widget to use with CM7. I know, since its AOSP, that thats a mighty high request. But heres my reasoning. Ive seen some ROM's and themes that use the Sense Clock widget on a Non-Sense build. And its not Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget. Its seems like its the same clock to a T. I would use BW, but I'm anal about my homescreen, and the fact the corners on so sharp on the BW is just ugly to me. I know theres physically no way to get Sense widgets on an AOSP build, but anyone know of any widgets that are exactly the same?
There is an older Fancy Widget apk floating around which is almost indistinguishable from the Sense flip clock.

thats awesome. would you know where i could find such a thing?
Just search for Sense Analog Clock on the Market and there are some nice ones and they are free. Mine shows Time, date, Internal memory free, RAM free, Battery temp, Battery % and weather. You can also download free skins for it to make it look the way you want it.
that ones not bad. but I remember the beautiful widgets looking almost exactly like the sense clock. anyone know where I can get this?

I sent you a PM.
EDIT: Actually for some reason, it isn't letting me send the PM. "Private Messaging is temporarily unavailable"
EDIT2: If you search teh Google for Fancy Widget v1.2.4 or Fancy Widget v1.3.0 -- I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
I think fancy widgets is closer. If you get the pro, there are skins you can get that make it pretty much identical.
Here is a post with a bunch of themed fancy widget apks that close to the sense clock:

that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
whats up ppl i was just wondering if is it possible to have a AOSP rom wit the sense widgets (flip clock, sync all, settings, etc) cuz lets be real the AOSP widgets are wake and if it is can u tell me how to cuz im a new in this and thnx in adv.
have a wonderful day
Please use the search...
Pay version of launcher pro has widgets similar to sense with the exception of the clock.
For the clock, you need the pay versions of either Beautiful Widgets of Fancy Widgets. I know for sure Fancy Widgets has skins to make the clock look identical to the sense clock. It also has screen on animations and weather animations when you open the weather.
A number of third party messenger and calendar apps also have their own widgets.

yea i was watching a video on youtube of fancy widgets but the animation when u unlock the phone does not work right and a another Q how do u put the signature (like the one u have after the line ) in here cuz i been looking around in my profile and i dont see any part for signature
Screen unlock animation worked fine for me. I think beautiful widgets has one too. Neither are as good as sense though. Worth the sacrifice for me though since I don't really like Sense.
Look under quick links at the top of the screen. One of them is edit sig.
Any idea how to fix it? Ive tried removing and replacing the widget. Not sure what else i can do.
Which weather widget are you referring to? I tried the accuweather (i think that's what comes with the phone), but wasn't what I wanted.
Anyways, you may also want to consider other weather widgets on market. I found 3D Digital weather clock and also Android Weather on market and found I like the Android Weather better - it offers transparency, shows location, date/day, time and current temp and weather condition.

Yup, I do mean the stock one. I tried uploading a picture of it thru the xda app, but it keeps hanging. Thanks for the tip, I'll try Android Weather.
Update: the ota update for 2.3.6 fixed the issue.
Is there any way to remove the date from the digital clock? I have the stock weather widget running in the top right corner, which also shows the date, so it's redundant to also have it displayed in the clock, which is right below it.
Barring that, is there a recommended digital clock widget that has the same stock font, can be sized to the 4 x 2 of the stock clock, and had the option to display no date?
There are a ton of available clock and weather apps in the Play Store that have wigets, usually with more customization options than the stock Android versions. If you do a little trial and error testing it shouldn't take you long to find what you are looking for. You can also look for general widget apps like Beautiful Widgets which usually include clock and weather widgets because they tend to be the most popular.

This might get you started but if you don't find something to your liking there are a ton more in the Play Store. It shouldn't be hard at all to find either a digital clock widget or a weather widget that doesn't also display the date. There are also a lot of clock widgets that actually display the weather as well, so if you liked something like that you could use one widget instead of two and save yourself a little battery. I used to use one like that called Fancy Widgets but it didn't have as many customization options as some other widget apps.

Thanks for the advice. I did try several digital clock widgets, but every single one included a non-removable date. The HD Widgets in your link looks like it has what I need in it though, so I'll try that one out.
Thanks again!
