Best clock + weather and calendar widget?

Used to having HTC sense clock+weather and calendar widget. What's a good play store free replacement that looks good on Nexus 7?
For clock+weather, would be great to have something that switches location automatically and accurately. Currently trying GO Weather EX and Fancy widget.
For calendar, want to have month view taking the whole home screen. Currently trying android pro widget.

Beautiful Widgets?

HD Widgets for me, because i like the full screen weather info

I am using Be Weather pro and it's a treat... It has own skins + you can use skins from beautiful widgets. Updates locations not according city but according to the area where you are

For a clock widget you can't beat One More Clock. The paid version is worth the 99 cents. It will also show temp and battery status.
The best weather app on the market is eWeather.

I own several, including Beautiful Widgets, BeWeather, and HD Widgets. My favorite is BeWeather but I use HD Widgets on the table because the downloaded HD pack looks better and includes sizes for 7 inch tablets. If BeWeather updates their compatibility with tablets (i.e., widget sizes), I may switch back to them.
You may also want to consider which weather services are offered: Beautiful Widgets (Accuweather, Google), BeWeather (Weatherunderground), HD Widgets (Accuweather, Google, Weatherbug, Weatherunderground).
For calendar check out Jorte and Business Calendar.

Was about to post screen shot of BeWeather... But can't, I am still a noon here on forums
I don't have a problem with BeWeather on tablet or my GSNexus

I'm going to just give them all a try and see what I like best.

I have tried a lot of them, but Beweather has not moved off my screens. A tablet widget would be welcome but does not a deal breaker. It is a great weather app, the best one out there imo.

I also like Fancy Widgets. It shows battery % and other info along with clock and weather. Some of the skins only come with the paid version, but I think you would like the free version well enough.

The Asus Weather Widget is my fav currently

I've always liked the Asus weather app too. Too bad clicking on it just shows settings vs an extended forecast. I don't like the forecast being directly displayed in the widget so I resize it to hide it but it would be nice to have some sort of click through.
Its what I'm using now. Thanks for the idea. FYI, the app can be found in the TF101 App forums.

Yes this had me puzzled for about a day. I realized that the save button was there just not shown. So I connected my usb keyboard via micro<>usb adapter and was able to arrow down and used enter to hit the save button.
Here is a titanium backup I made, not sure it if will work..

I have been using Beautiful Widgets and Battery Widget? Reborn! (can't link sorry). I really like BR? R! due to its use of the expanded notification, it also has a couple power saving toggles so I was able to retire PowerToggles, not as robust but does what I need. Beautiful Widgets with Suku_ICS is minimal and fits into my home screen seamlessly.
Hope that helps!

For battery alone, I use the wonderfully minimal http://www.batterywidgetreborn.com (Which is available in beta from the play store for free). You can adjust size and colour, and also how many notifications you want. Best thing about it is it looks GREAT

I found out about it last week on All About Android and have been loving it. They did a really great job, well worth the money to support the dev, it helped that I had my money from purchasing my Nex7.

I like this 8bit Zelda Heart Battery Widget:

For Weather, I use a mixture. I really like Android Weather but I tend to rotate through weather widgets pretty often. I tried the Ultimate Clock Widget, noted above, and spent a whole afternoon going through themes that I liked. In the end, it was clunky and a mess to get right.

Thanks, I'll look in to them all

for weather alone - 1weather but have switch to HD widgets with weather and time/date. Make sure you get the HD pack for free from HD widgets too for use on the N7.

HD Widgets are on sale for 25¢ today. Great widget and the reviews are strong for the N7.

I just use the genie news and weather app now to check the weather when I need to. Plus I'm a news junkie so it's handy. After a long run with HTC dating back to the Touch (Vogue), I'm all weather widget'd out lol..I no longer see the need to obsess with the weather any longer. I can look out the window haha..but, Beautiful Widgets has a lot of options and no doubt can fit the bill for what you're after.
Edit : also check out GoWeather. It has some pretty cool video animations when you open it. Kinda Sense like

always used beautiful widgets. they have lots of themes.

UCCW, you can make your own....sense, touchwiz, blur, miui, whatever floats your boat.

I use Beautiful Widgets and Go Weather. They're both beautiful.

I like Fancy Widgets. Very clean looking
The stock TW weather/ clock widget isn't too bad looking either, not sure why they decided to not have it link to the clock app.

Just like Dr. Fed stated, Fancy Widget is the sh1tz NUtz.

eWeather HD has two weather providers: Foreca and Intellicast. I think it is the most accurate weather app.
Also it has about 20 widgets with clock, weather, radar etc
It starts alarm clock if click on right-top corner of the widget, else it starts weather forecast.

How can we have accuweather widget from sgs2 in CM9?

I`m using beautiful widget and I set it on manual update so it doesn`t seem to drain any battery..

All those widget Weather Apps are not that accurate . I would suggest to look for a weatherapp specially designed for your location or country. at the moment i use Méteo Belgique, graphically the app is not that good but it gives accurate weather for my location , thats the most important thing, right. :good:

Eye In Sky Weather
Have been using it for about two weeks now, very pleasant looking, about a dozen of weather skins to choose from and has very little effect on the memory.
I recommend it very much...

Looking for a nice clock widget

I did some searching and only found a few LOCK screen clocks. I'm looking for a widget clock for the top of my main homescreen, not the lock screen.
One that would allow many the weather to come up when I click it, but its not a deal breaker.
THANKS

There are soooooo many to choose from on the Play Store you'll just have to experiment and find one you like. The one's that come to mind for me, one's I've used over the years are Beautiful Widgets, Make Your Clock Widget, UCCW Widget, DashClock Widget, Android Weather and Clock Widget
