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
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA App

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
For me the newer sense clock in HD based roms is kind of a mixed bag. While I like the occasional flip animation from time to time, I could really do without the that little 01:02 flip animation that plays every time the screen's turned on. I'm talking about the default one with weather by the way.
Is there a tweak or flashable zip to disable this "extra" feature? I'd even forego animations completely and settle with the old static sense clock. Searching the forum revealed threads that talk about bringing the new clock to older stock based ROMs, not the other way around.. I'm using RcMix HD based Gingersense. Thanks.
imo this feature is just to check that the clock has the newest time
also i think it is more ressource friendly
Has anyone noticed that when you try to set a wallpaper from your gallery, the adjustable rectangle is as if rotated 90 deg. The area you choose is exactly the size of one screen, so the wallpaper doesn't scroll when you move from one screen to another.
Is it a bug or is it like this because the transition between screens 1 and 7 wouldn't look good.
Also, I've noticed that the sense 3 widgets aren't properly scaled. They're a little bit flat. Not much... but It's annoying when I look at my girlfriend's photo and see that it's too wide. I can't show her that!
Other than that that rom is epic! Great job, baad!
Yeah I noticed that too! It's annoying because I got loads of cool wallpapers from the Galaxy S. Though I suppose maybe it's due to the new Sense 3.0 Rosie scroll "carousel" as opposed to the 2.1 one which works differently, no? I also used RCMix 2.0 Test 3 and it was the same...
same issues here, but hey, its a nightly build..
I think it is meant to not scroll the wallpaper anymore in Sense3 homescreen. I heard this issue in other forums too. Its like on the HTC Sensation. There is also no scrolling. Because of the carousel scrolling.
H XDA,
Got a new rom which i'm loving, it's smooth and badass RCMIX3D v7
It's a proper animal of a rom.
My only gripe with Sense 3 is the static wallpaper and the streak one is just too laggy for my liking, so is there any way to have scrollable wallpapers on sense 3 roms?
Thanks.
did you ever get this to work as im having the same problem
It wouldnt work properly because the launcher goes straight to the other side once you swipe past the last screen. If you had scrollable wallpapers that would make an "interesting" effect where you can see the two edges meeting and not making a consistent background image. If you get what I mean lol

never thought of it like that but would still be nice to have could have it where when you get to end it would just start the picture again and the double edge could pass while it was changing screens
So when the s2 was made, I guess Samsung decided to have two separate wallpapers. One for the lockscreen and one for the homescreen.
I hate this new feature of the s2. I use a wallpaper changer to change my wallpaper every 15 minutes because I get bored of seeing the same thing over and over, but I spend a fair chunk of time just opening up the phone with the lockscreen so I want it to change randomly too.
What roms don't have this feature? I know cm7 doesn't, but the only builds I found hardly work. Blu Ray doesn't, but I'm not a fan of its looks.
Idk about the lockscreen, but you can have a live wallpaper that changes the image which ever way you want it with. It's called multipicture live wallpaper
