Best clock + weather and calendar widget? - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

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..

Man try this:http://androidadvices.com/android-weather-widget-apps-home-screens/
I use snowstorm weather widget. For me is the best, lot of skins, only one that gives me my right city... free... and "data cheap"...

Also like the genniewidget that comes with ICS CM9 but it looses the position a lot...
Ex:
Accueather Platinium 2.0.10
Good w cm9!
I was looking for a nice and clean weather widget. Before I was using Fancy Widgets (htc sense clock weather style) and now I am using BeWeather. In detail window you get forecast for next days with a very very nice animation based on actual weather conditions.
I use snowstorm, really nice widgets with heaps of themes and customizations
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I use the weather widget in the beautiful widgets pack. there are so many different themes that you can download within the app you are sure to find something that fits with your phone style. Generally weather apps are fairly poor at getting the weather for AU right unless you have an AU weather app. I've stuck with the beautiful widgets weather because it is usually within 2 degrees of the correct weather here the AU weather apps I've found don't match my phone style and cannot be themed.
My favourite weather app so far is Weather Flow 'cause of that beautiful ICS-style theming. Looks simple and clean (also perfectly fits Holo Theme of Ice Cream Sandwich).
If you're looking for a more detailed forecast you should give a try an app called 1Weather. And it's free.

I like beautiful widgets, have a nice 1x1 monochrome widget.. and unlock animations as well
One should distinguish between app and widget.
Best weather app is definitely Weather Pro, because the best weather app is the one with accurate weather. Weather Pro offers the weather split into 3h periods, so you can't only see that it will rain tomorrow, but that it will rain in the afternoon while being sunny in the morning.
For widgets: I recommend fancy widgets. It has the nice clock in combination with the weather, and when I click on the weather it open Weather Pro (as you can set any actions depending on where you click on fancy widgets).
Weather Services app
I'm using WEATHER SERVICES. Great customization, widgets, nice icons, perfect design etc.
WebCams, Weather (satellite) maps, Charts, detailed forecasts...

I dont have a Screenshot now, but try Fancy Widget ! its very nice ....in Play Store for FREE
Try Android Weather, its free, looks pretty good, hardly uses any battery which is one concern I found with a lot of weather widgets.

[Q] anyone know of a good calendar widget?

I'm using TDJ ICS and I don't want to go back to golauncher. Too many malware on some apps and when I tried golauncher with this rom it didn't seem like they liked each other.. Anyways I want a widget that will sync with my Google calendar and the few I have found don't. Don't get me wrong I loved golauncher and it had great widgets.. Thanks

I use Smooth Calendar for my Exchange and Google calendars.
I like Business Calendar.
I use Android Pro Widgets for my calendar. The widget lets you swtich between the calendar and agenda view within the widget, much like the LauncherPro Plus widget did. I personally hate the quick entry method, but it's disable through a simple menu setting.
I'm using Agenda Widget +. It has several widget layouts; grid has a popup agenda view. The paid + version has skins and a mode where you can adjust the colors to some extent.

Im in the same boat as you but simple calendar works pretty good too.
Personally I love Month Calender Widget.. no permissions or app icon, only a widget showing a full month calender. clean and practical for me! Did I mention this baby is FREE!!
I use 'android 4 ics calendar'. It's the stock ics calendar widget and it works great

+1 i was looking for a replacement for Go calendar, so far there is none with the snazzy UI for flipping the page however Agenda Widget is good. I paid for the full verson so i can have two independent calendars (Exchange and gmail separated). I had a problem and within about 1 hours the Dev had emailed me and fixed the problem. Best few bucks on a app i have ever spent.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
