[Index] [Weather widget] Guide of weather & clock widgets - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Everybody likes weather & clock widgets, so I was thinking of making a small guide of different weather widgets here on Xperia forum. I hope it will be easier for you now to choose a nice weather widget for your phone.
Enjoy!
You can also post your screenshots of weather widgets here, so people can see and choose which one they like.
Ps. I will add more weather widgets later and pictures of weather main screen, but now I must go to school/college.

What's your favorite Clock Weather Widget?

Hello everyone
Let's share our favorite clock weather widgets.
Mine is Beautiful Widget, what's yours?
Never really seen why these two things always get combined into one widget, just cos HTC did it... what's wrong with 2 separate widgets?
Snowstorm is an excellent weather widget. Small, accurate, skinnable. Free. What more could you want?
For a clock i quite like sony's small digital clock. Minimalist, clear, elegant. Not a big fan of the flip clock thing.
+1 for Snowstorm, excellent weather widget.
As for clock, i use the stock transparent digital clock.
I also use snowstorm its pretty good, as for a clock i just use ClockQ its a basic clock and date with changeable colour and fonts simple but effective for me. : )
Simi Clock, simple and elegant.
I just found one -- couple hours ago.. sense analog clock
Liking that simi clock widget, thanks.
Can we use the weather and clock widget from HTC?
Fancy widget (pro)

Nope, all of HTC's widgets require their customised version of android with HTC sense. You can't even use them with a custom launcher (e.g. launcherpro) installed on an HTC phone, never mine a non-htc phone.
There are a myriad of lookalike HTC widget clones on the market (one's already been posted to this thread). Personally i think the HTC weather/clock styling is hideous, but that's just me.
Free: aix widget.
Nice overview.
Paid: palmary weather
Amazing graphics, very accurate.
Extra for Dutch people: buienalarm, gives you rain prediction on your location, accurate almost on the minute! Must have for Dutch people.
Time: Simi clock
Customizable and clean.
Sent from my arc or optimus 2x
Fancy widget.
It can squeeze weather, date and day, alarm/battery, clock in 4x1 widget (most only have 4x2 widget for full display)
Simi Clock, it's just perfect!
I'd cast a vote on Go Weather.
thank you guys, I really liked the Simi clock widget
In case anyone missed it there's a calendar widget in the same style as simi clock: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anod.calendar

that's looking great! Quick question how to switch the wheater/battery icon arround?
Never mind, found it!
simi clock FTW!!!
Fancy Widget is better than Beautiful Widget and SiMi Clock but it really really needs custom dates and times using things like HH:mm and ddd dd/MMM/YY
WeatherWidget is free and pretty cool (with next two days weather)

[Q] Actually a good decent HTC flipclock replica out there?

I really like the HTC flip clock and weather widget.
I've been looking for a long time for a decent replica.
I am using Fancy Widgets 1.3.0 right now and tried Beautiful Widgets, Weather & Toggle widgets, Fancy Widgets (v2 and v3) and many more.
And I tried Beautiful Widgets when it still looked like the HTC clock. Weather doesn't work though.
So do you guys have a suggestion? The app's mentioned above also don't feature the actual 'flipping'. However, this could be ignored.
If you have a suggestion please note:
- App name.
- Version
- Optional Skin
- Instruction to install (if necessary)

Miuis clock is flipping but it does not have the weather I'm afraid

Weather and widget forecasts. Then go to download skins, one is called HT7. It will replicate the exact look of HTC widgets BUT,
The moon and sun and clouds are different, tapping brings different menu and it does not "flip" but just change time.
good enough if you ask me.

Favorite Weather App?

Found your favorite weather app? I found this one that I'm currently roadtesting along with Amazing Weather:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVNUwFcrmeM&feature=youtu.be
My favorite is Meteoservis.
(it's different weather - multiple editions Lite/Full - for weather and meteo fans)
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/c5c0be24-9bc4-4348-8333-7a0af5e7a7a8
Unfortunately, currently there is no English version and the service is working just in Czech a Slovak rep. But, according the author, there will be English (and maybe more languages) version available soon and the service will cover complete Europe.

I'm using WeatherLive by Hyperise.
Full-featured, with nice metro style live tiles, very accurate and fast it's a perfect choice for live weather app, even for $1.49
The new version 3.50 has brought many new features but still working fast and reliable.
I like WeatherEye by The Weather Network
Free and awesome Weather View
Weather View formerly : Vadret
Great weather images, Great live tile!
Weather Channel was the one I used for 9-10 months or so, then started using Accuweather which I really liked.
However, about a week ago I started using Weather View and I really like it.
Hoping they allow the ability to turn off the back/flipside of the live tile though, and add an easy one screen view of the next 5-10 days, but overall excellent.
Accuweather for the live tile which looks great and tells me what I need to know.
Amazing Weather is not bad
and has a nice live tile
Yes, I use Amazing Weather. The live tile displays current weather. I can justify between saving more battery and knowing current weather by choosing the interval to refresh the current weather.
Weather Master FTW

I second that. Shows all information I need on its double sided live tile which fits well into the whole metro design. My favorite weather app too. Closely followed by Amazing Weather.

I agree! WeatherLive is my favorite. Metro-styled, fast, and has a live tile.
I use Accuweather for the live tiles and Microsoft weather for the forecast. It's the fastest loading by far. I wish it would support live tiles
HTC app is good
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
I use Accuweather, and the HTC hub app.
nothing beats weather master, it shows the information in about 5-6 seconds and that is impressive, the other apps need more time to update the weather. weathermaster is not free but is certainly worth the money.
weather view and weather duck just wish weather duck got rid of the ads

Since I live in Sweden, I prefer to use Weather View (formerly known as Vädret)

Q: Can you identify certain 3rd party widget for Weather/Clock compatible with Oreo?

I'm in the process of customizing a new-to-me HTC 10 and I'm looking for a specific Weather/Clock widget that I've been using on my HTC One M8 running Marshmallow and Sense 7. I couldn't find any indication of the author, so I assumed it was HTC. Here's a screenshot of my One M8 home screen:

}
When browsing the widgets on my HTC 10, there are a couple of weather/clock widgets but none that look like the one above. I really like the layout, the selected data, and the partial transparency. Is there a web page somewhere that shows thumbnails of all the widgets in each version of Sense and their precise release number? If this wasn't created in the Oreo version of Sense (Home or 9?), is it at least forward compatible?
EDIT: Yes, thanks to gustav30, found out the widget is not HTC. DevExpert.Net created it.
Here are some other widget panels that accompany this widget, which I find very useful:
5-Day Forecast, Hourly Forecast, Moon Phase

That's not an HTC weather clock widget. What app does it open when you click on it? Then just download that app to your 10 and apply the widget.

Ah... thank you. :good: I wasn't finding any info about the widget, until I used the left menu navigation and found "About"... And it's a Weather & Clock Widget by DevExpert.NET.
