Does anyone know where i can find a htc sense clock and weather (or near enough) for free? Please help :-{
Just search for a Fancy Widget with Google and you'll find it.
I shared a black version of it here. Or you can find the original white one here. But numbers dont flip like in the new sense interface, Fancy Widget is based on old sense clock.
Thank you very much :-D
Fancy Widgets has just released a new version.

anybody tried and compare this with beautiful widget? They look awfully the same, so I'm not sure why they would want to develop something similiar unless there's some flip animation or similiar sort.
at least with beautiful widgets there are skinning and pop up weather animation. with fancy widget it looks just plain ..
Any cool widgets i can get for my galaxy s? And ideas? Any input welcome

What is required to make them flip? That's kind of the whole point of having a flip clock, to enjoy the animation when the numbers change over. I downloaded the sense clock and was immediately disappointed.
I want to get cyanogen, but I LOVE the look of sense. Honestly, its the only reason I still run stock sense on my Dinc. The weather animations are just awesome.
Is there a way to get a functioning HTC flip clock on cyanogen, with weather animations and everything?

Nope, sense only
It's built into the framework

As someone who once loved the clock, seriously ditch it and come over to Cyanogen (they have bacon!).
For ~$2 you can buy Beautiful Widgets which work perfectly on Cyanogen and can be skinned to look like the HTC Clock. Get away from Stock man, there's so much more to be had.

Really? I've seen the beautiful widget clock, and its kind of gross. I love the launcher pro plus widgets, but they need launcher pro to run (I think?), and stock cyanogen launcher is more functional.

There are several dozen different skins you can download and apply. Also another good one is Fancy widget. That's pretty similar. I don't think either do the weather animations though...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

While Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widget try to mimic sense, they are still not the same. The real sense widgets are still the best IMO.
I don't think it's necessary to "get away from stock" with the Incredible. Between TouchWiz, Blur, Sense, etc, I think Sense is BY FAR the best and the smoothest interface and framework.
With that being said, I do run CM7. But I miss Sense every day, it is a tough decision for me and I cannot just say hands down that AOSP is better than Sense. I do encourage modding, and if you like Sense, at least get a Sense based ROM.

I tried them all. They all look vastly inferior to the real thing. They all look significantly less sharp and they never get the proportions right (all look stretched).
I'm still hoping for a near identical knockoff someday.

You won't get a near identical one anytime. All the ones that looked like it had HTC come after them, telling them it had to change.

You forgot acer's liquid... which I think is the best by far. I can't stand sense anymore, it's too business-y for me. I like myn's though, that's about as far as my love for sense goes though.
There's an older version of Fancy Widget with an identical Sense look floating around the interwebs. Google it.
Also, Beautiful Widgets does do unlock animations but not quite as smooth as Sense.

Looks just like the HTC one, but doesn't do weather animations or flip animations. I'll live without that...I just like the look of that clock haha. Using it with CM7 now.
Definitely switch to CM7 and LPP. It's my setup now and I love it. I've flashed other ROMs but I honestly can't make it through the day without flashing back to gingerbread.

Wow, it really is identical! Thanks for the tip.
Look up stoney666 in the theme section. He has some kick ass clocks in there.
Not sure how I sent this??

I agree while I do love Sense and I enjoy using the Sense based ROMs, I always want to go back to gingerbread.
I think CM is the way to go if you always want the latest version of Android.
Personally, I like ADW a lot better than LP though. At least the most recent versions of ADW I really like.
Why dont you try skyraider sense 3.5...you can install a custom theme over it to look almost like stock android, and plus you get to have all the htc widgets and the htc apps...see, i have mine with skyraider sense and a a gingerbread theme
---i still prefer the beautiful widgets clock though
I use the newest Fancy Widget Pro with the H7C skin. Looks identical to sense clock!
I just compared Fancy Widgets H7C skins vs the stock sense (remember to change to flip clock) and they look pretty damn spot on. Only thing different is the weather animations were a little better on the sense, but you're just being picky if you want to complain about that.

What is the widget you are using here for the forecast? I've never seen that before. Is that sense?
I said in my post that its beadutiful Widgets..but with skyraider sense you can use all the HTC stuff

Beautiful Widgets is one of the many ones I tried, it was a lot blurrier than Fancy Widgets 1.3
I like the default HTC Sense clock/weather but it is so large it takes up a lot of real estate on the home screen. Is there a smaller replacement that still maintains the same look and all the functionality? I found a "Sense Analog Small Clock 4x1" in the market and its fine, but the weather has to be a zipcode entry. It wont just use your "current location" like the native HTC sense widget does. This would be a nice function but it seems to be absent in 3rd party clock & weather apps.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Beautiful Widget allows for resizing and has multiple skins.

Checked them in the market. Their clock/weather widget does support geolocation apparently. So I guess it would autoupdate to wherever you were at like HTC's native sense widget. It looks fairly large though, at least 4x2. What I really need is 4x1 like the small sense app.
Update: I just saw some 1x4 shots in the android market site so it looked like it has this size. The only other problem is its not free but I can deal with that.
Beautiful widgets is exactly what your looking for. I run it often in 4x1 and it looks great. Plus there are over 100 different clock and weather skins. Really nice app and well worth it.

Hi does any1 no if htc sence clock and weather widget work on SGS2? if so where can i find it?, if not anyone no of the best looking widget thats identical to it?

Without any doubt, "Beautiful Widgets". There are tons of Sense themes to this set of widgets.

yeh i did notice that but didnt see any in there that look identicaly the same, would there be a apk for the proper htc sence widget that would work on our sgs2?
I personally use the SuperClock with SuperSense theme. Looks very good and "sensy" to me.

Superclock is a version of the beautiful widgets clock. supersense is a theme you can install from within beautiful widgets.
the weather widget of SGs2 is crap it takes ages to update and the shortest one for update is 3hrs damn

Using LauncherPro instead of TouchWiz. A lot more customisation.
carnt seem to find the sence in there, i just have a standard 1 installed in there and a tab for downloaded skins which just trys to loads skins but not doing anything i guess its supposed to me in there?
Yes the sense skin will be under the download tab.
Do a google search for "fancywidget.apk" This is the clock you are looking for. Its been pulled from most places im guessing for HTC copyright infringements but you can still find it if you look hard enough.
The app is called LP classic sense (you also get sense theme for your LP+ widgets) it's EXACTLY the same as fancywidget (wich was taken of the market way long ago)
I would have posted a screenshot but im not aloud yet
Yes but you need to install LauncherPro in order to get it and therefor get charged. You can still get fancywidget and use it with any launcher without having to pay for LauncherPro and the Sense add-on!!
I got lp sence and clock widget from market which the clock is good but i thought it come with sence wallpaper but no sign of it

Not true. Fancy Widget is still on the Market with the HTC weather clock style. The clock and weather skins are both called 'H7C'.
"Not true. Fancy Widget is still on the Market with the HTC weather clock style. The clock and weather skins are both called 'H7C'"
Thats now gone from the market also. I get the impression that LauncherPro now have exclusive rights to this clock and they are not letting anyone else have it!!

I just said above you that it is there. I have just checked again... it is there!

What would you buy? HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets?
HD Widgets got an update today and are on sale now. Not sure if it is a good deal.
Maybe somebody tried both?

I have both. I only use HD Widgets because it's very polished. Beautiful Widgets allows you to install different themes for the widgets, which is awesome, but when I used it the selection was unappealing to me. I'm sure there are more themes now, though.
Never used HD Widgets, but Beautiful Widgets has a loooot of themes.
Here's my home screen widget just for reference. I'm using the full screen widget for the Galaxy Note (5x5).

Review of the new version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghx6ENefOxY
I've had beautiful Widgets since my Droid 1, 2 years ago.
I like it, and for $3 I really got my use out of it. After getting my nexus though, the screen is so brilliant, I kind of don't want to take up half that space with a clock widget. I think I might just finally be done with clock apps, I do remember trying HD widgets way back in the day and deciding on Beautiful Widgets.
I guess for me, I say BW only because I know what I'm getting, and the themes are great. It's really easy to get away from the default HTC look.
I also have both but the new HD Widgets beta version the weather does not work.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
For my Nexus I'm using BW since it has a lot of customisation options (although I really hate how the location name disappears under the weather icon for places with long names). I have HDW as well which I use on my Transformer Prime since BW has awful scalability for large screens. I very much prefer the widget layout of HDW but I can't find a theme on it that I really like over BW.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
i too have both...BW for phone, HDW for tablet
i hadn't had HDW on my phone in ages and installed the latest 'update'...it was crashing ALL day, even without an active widget i was getting a "hd widgets has crashed" popup, but worse than that for me, the widget was only displaying in farenheit even though i'd selected celsius, which makes it totally useless gibberish
i won't be updating to the new version on my tablet
I have also bought both of them. Beautiful Widgets feels like it works better for a phone interface because the 4x2 Clock/Weather widget looks like it fits better on the screen and is highly themeable (for us who flash new themes and ROMs frequently).
I use HD Widgets for my tablet as the giant clock/weather widgets fit the screen much better than Beautiful Widgets does and the transparency and light theming works on my tablet as i don't flash with it nearly as much.
Just my thoughts
As with some posters above, I am a long-time BW owner, going back to the early days of the OG Droild. I loved it back then. Now, the look of those big clocks with overly-dramatic weather icons looks so 2009 to me.
After getting the GNex, I just couldn't devote so much homescreen space and I didn't want something that looked so "tired" to me, so I bought Make Your Clock Widget Pro. I designed a minimalistic "clock" widget and it's been in service on my GNex for months now. For me, it's perfect, and it's unique - just what I want, how I want it - nothing else.
Consider escaping the BW/HD Widgets look, and just go make your own.
Here’s a screenshot…
Thanks!!!
Make your clock is totally great!
I installed a free version and one widget even works. And this is ok for me.
Not sure if weather works. But I will check that later. Clock was a priority.
