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!

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 am looking for some decent widgets for example the clock/weather widget that is on the evo. Same with a message widget similar to the one on the evo. Any ideas would be very helpfull. And if anyone has any snapshots of their screens to get some ideas of how to lay them out. Please list what widgets are being used with each screen shot as well. Thanks in advance.
Beautiful widgets it what u want for clock/weather which is a payed app. Only thing I know that has sense like messaging is launcher pro which is free for the basic version. Launcher pro plus is wa worth the money tho.

Can you post some of your screens?
Has anyone ever had any issues with Beautifyl widgets and the animations? I keep getting beautiful widgets needs to connect to the internet and download 1020kb for the forecast animations then it goes to download and doesn't download anything. Any clues anyone?
Sorry don't have access to a computer at the moment. But as far as your question I have not had that problem.

Here is my homescreen using nebula rom 1.0.6 twin jet, themed with the gingerbread theme, icons I found somewhere on here and tweaked a bit, launcher pro dock and, of course, beautiful widgets.
My BW widget skins are myriad-clean for the clock (this will change to either 42blue or blueglownaked when theimpaler releases his new theme) and Bullet_droid for the weather.
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.

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!
Look at my screenshot.
I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me what this clock/weather widget is shown in the screenshot as well as how to get it. This screenshot is from the Virtuous Affinity ROM thread in the development section. I was hoping that it is another version/form of an HTC Sense widget as I am already familiar with the many alternatives available. I like to use HTC's version of the clock widget and wasn't sure if this was one. Thanks in advance!
P.S. -- Because I am "new" poster, I could not link the image, so I attached it to this thread instead.

You have to have a sense 3.5 ROM to have this clock.
Cool. Thanks tylerlawhon. I appreciate you replying so quickly and letting me know this. I am currently running SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 which only uses Sense 3.0, so I wasn't able to find the widget. Thanks again.

Lol actually to be clear, the build.prop only says 3.0. It's not full 3.0, but 2.1 with 3.0 parts added as well as other tweaks.
My personal recommendation for a solid 3.5 ROM would be mikrunny 1.01. Very solid, very fast. Make sure you check out the odexed version instead of deodexed.
Clock
If you don't want to install a new ROM, you can also install Fancy Widget which has a theme that looks exactly like it and then just set the clock, weather, date to open the same apps as the sense weather widget. Works exactly the same and looks exactly the same.
Beautiful Widgets is a reasonable alternative too.

BW has a compact widget like this?
I guess it would be 1x4 size? Or possibly 2x4? Lol, can't tell...

Yes BW does ... I believe its 4x1 (i.e. 4 wide 1 high)....BW refers to it as something like Beautiful Smaller Home in its list of available widgets. Of course, last I looked BW is a paid app --- I just happened to get it for less than a buck when the Market had all those sales around Christmas time.
