Hi,
I am looking for some really good widgets to showcase info like current weather, current battery level, how long has the phone been up, which app is hogging the most battery power, etc, for the hone screen.
Would any of you have any suggestions?

Beautiful widgets

Recast (My #1 right now), Fancy Widgets, Beautiful Widgets
Themes and apps. But yeah beautiful widgets or hd widgets are good
DO YOU JELLY?
Well, i did try out HD widgets. Did not really like their designs. I currently use a combination of Beautiful Widgets and BeWeather.
Any other suggestions?

Make your own clock widget. Supports battery, time, date and some others. For more battery specific info I use battery monitor widget alongside system tuner by 3c. Those two are hands down the best monitoring apps.

I actually like Go Weather, but you can only use it with Go Launcher.
try UCCW. u can create ur own widgets.
Premium widgets
Thanks all. I'm currently using this Super Clock Live Wallpaper, and I am liking it.

Try One More Clock widget. Free and Paid version. Check out his Chrome Rings Theme!

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.

Managed to get a hold of the Roughrider widget off the HTC One S and copied the APK to my Nexus and installed, but I still don't see the widget available to be added. Any ideas, I have attached the apk file.
I'm not real familiar with this widget, but if its a sense widget chances are it won't work because most sense widgets rely on the sense framework to work

If you can get this widget to work I would be so happy.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yup I believe you need the framework. What does the widget do by the way
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I think your best bet would be to check around the play store and see if they have something similar, for example I really missed senses Facebook and twitter widgets and I was able to find android pro widgets which is fantastic they are just like the sense ones

It's a widget that shows information about a Canadian football team. I'm not sure if anything else out there will show so much information about this team than this dedicated app/widget.

Hey guys I was wondering if it would be possible to turn the first result you get in a weather search in jelly bean into an interactive widget. I think that would be cool.

What's your DPI set on?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Agreed this would be brilliant and I'm sure one of the developers round here could do it.
I'd like to see this too. I've thought about it before.
I've actually tried doing it before with various apps that grab data from website and put them in widgets but its the design and simplicity of the google weather thing thats so perfect for an android widget.
I'd be willing to pay for this for sure!
The four lock-screen widgets are OK (the calendar is the most useful I feel), but I was surprised that there was only 4. Are there any others out there?

Mizuu has just updated to add some.
Personally, I've turned lockscreen widgets off for now.
Hopefully more apps get updated to support this feature as right now it's a bit useless
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
There are more in the play store, search "4.2 lock screen widgets"...its mostly clocks, but any thing new is a plus!
EDIT: There are double as many apps as when I checked yesterday, new widgets, a lot more. I can only assume this is a glimpse of what's to come.

Personally I'm happy with just the time and overview of my inbox. What else would you plan on using?
HD widgets is updated and has a nice 5 day weather outlook for the lock screen. Also too, they have their clocks for the lock screen too

Try the "Lockscreen Features Policy" app.

People should take a look at "widget Locker" ...
U can adjust almost everything with this gem...

If you don't like the 4.2 lock screen clock there's the Nexus 4 clock that allows you to add the 4.2 Analogue clock to your lock screen. I've also added the IP Widget that allows you to add a Widget to your lock screen that provides network status.
In the UK there are only 3 Widgets clock, calendar & gmail by default for some reason, what's the 4th default Widget?

I believe it is Google Sound search/Ears. I don't have it either (Finland).
Yes it's Google Sound Search.
Power Amp's lockscreen widget will work when you're listening to music
Plume now has a lockscreen widget for 4.2

I wonder why Google didn't unfreeze Sound Search with the 4.1.2 updat where Google Music is available now.
In Italy it's missing too even though there is Google Music since mid-november
Anyone mind sharing your weather widgets or know a nice wv post here cause the 1 that comes with TW is a shame takes up to much ram and rewrites and lags up the launcher by just scrolling. Deactivate it and its parts and your phone is going much snappier.

Transparent weather widget on play store is very good can custom to ur liking?

+1 for Android Weather. Just dled it last night but its the best weather widget I've ever used. I like how yo can open your calendar and clock app from the widget. Thanks for the heads up in this.
I use WeatherLove (Free on Market) , customisable , gps based (can be disabled) , transparency capable ... Have a try
HD Weather Widgets. Very customizable. It's foggy at the moment (you can see a cloud in the middle, under the clock). Background is set to Transparent.
Beautiful widgets.
It doesn't consume so much RAM or processor power.
