[Q] Weather and Clock widgets

Which is the coolest and most beautiful weather and clock widget there is for a home screen? Please post your weather and clock widgets.

Beatufil widgets and Weather Widget Donate are 2 that everyone uses. Both are in the market, both are skinable and highly customizable.
Good luck

Weather Widget
I would have to say that Beautiful Widget is by far the best. Has a huge variety of clock and weather skins that can be downloaded from the app itself and also has a weather animation when you go to the forcast that is somewhat like Sense. Well worth the $2.

Fancy widget is awesome

A quick search on the market doesn't really come with anything called "fancy widget," could you be a bit more specific?

Not free. I purchased this one when I first got an android handset because I really wanted the sense clock.

I like the beautiful widget app. Has clock, weather and other widgets. Its always best to support the developers and buy from the markets, especially if you go to 4shared.com and download them for free.

Miss friend stream :(

I can't seem to find anything that compares. Colorize widget was the closest I could find, but it doesn't work spd shell 3d. Any alternatives that will work without using a common launcher?

I feel your pain, I had sense withdrawls when I first switched, then they went away but lately they have been coming again. With all the issues I've had with sprint and the lack of support from samsung, I think I'm going back to htc soon.
Anyways, enough of my rant, the closest I have found is the "android pro widgets", and it's free! It comes as a pack with a friendstream style widget, bookmark, calendar and even people widgets.
I really don't get why touchwiz comes with 7 screens and practically no widgets. HTC makes the only phone I have ever been able to create a nice layout using all screens and not have wasted space.

I miss feeds and updates widget that was on the first epic. Don't know why it's gone on the S2. If it's bcuz of social hub they could at least had added a widget for it!

Thx, but unfortunately it doesn't scroll for me and that arrow down is flakey

If you're looking for 3rd party (truly) scrollable widgets for spb shell 3d you won't find any. The reason APW uses a scroll button is the lack of scrollable widget support in your used launcher.

I use APW on my view tablet with and it is awesome. Better than sense for sure. If you really want friendstream, switch to launcherpro plus instead of touchwiz. LPP is smooth as hell and the widgets are awesome.

(Dev help) Motorola Photon Q launcher and widgets

I'm trying to get the new Motorola photon q launcher to work on the epic touch running jelly bean. Everything seems to work just needs to be resized. Also the circle widget is really nice and would be great if someone can get it to work with other launchers. Here are the files and thank you in advance for helping on the development for this great launcher and widget.

What have you tried
I am interested in this as well. Have you pushed the app to yhour system/app directory and changed the permissions to match everything else in there?

They install fine. The only thing is when the widget comes on the launcher screen it says that you cannot use with third party launchers. I don't know how to edit the permissions of the widget itself

Talk to a really smart friend today and he was saying that it's in the code of the widget.

Took a look at the widget on the photon device and i must say it is pretty cool looking. You would have to attract the attention of whoever took time to port the clock and weather widget from the HTC devices.

Anyone, anyone?????? My wife is looking for this to add to her GS2

Search the Google play market for Rings Digital Weather Clock or One More Clock Free. The widgets o are looking for are in there

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=factory.widgets.bubbledigitalweatherclock here's a link for the widget. Looks pretty good

Are there any animated weather widgets?

Would be cool to see moving sun rays or rain falling from a weather widget.

I'm curious about this too...
My HTC One X had an awesome weather widget... one of the many things I miss about that phone.

Bump.

I want to know this too

Beautiful widgets has animation. Pretty nice might be what your looking for.

Beautiful Widgets has animated weather when you tap on the widget. What I think the OP wants is the actual home screen widget to be animated.

Bingo.

Beautiful Widgets also has an animated wallpaper that changes with the weather and time of day. Battery friendly too. For the weather (or clock) you can select from hundreds of themes.

I have Beautiful widgets and I had that wallpaper back on my OG Epic 4G, not really what I'm looking for.

Tried using the fancy widgets app but dosent work well on my phone since jumping from OGEVO to LGOG. Thanks in advance. And great work guys.

Beautiful Widgets is my go to for weather widgets. Thousands of themes to choose from.

Thanks for the reply

Another suggestion is the WeatherBug app. The widgets it comes with are nice. They can be clear too.

I usually just stick my head out of the window while driving.
Admittedly, this does not forecast the weather for me all that well, but I'm a live in the moment kind of guy.
In all seriousness though, Eye In The Sky has been my favorite weather widget to date.
