I have been looking for a digital 24 hr clock widget that had a setting for seconds and variable size with a transparent background for a very long time and I can find it all except for seconds.
I would assume that many developers don't add that function because it would force the widget to refresh and redraw itself every second, presumably leading to a likely battery drain.
Mostly assumption but it makes sense to me.
widget in seconds is too crazy lol
Does the clock under "daydream" settings show seconds? Just curious....

lol, clock widgets dont work like that. I think that there isnt any demand for it so thats the reason why
They have some that show the seconds but they have backgrounds and there analog clocks that show the second hand and live backgrounds flow smoothly so I don't think it has anything to do with refresh rate.
Digi clock widget...

I have a problem with the Sence clock. The system clock works perfect but the clock from the HTC widgets don't work good. When I lock the hero and after for example 5 minutes when I unlock it the system clock show the hour ok but the widget clock show the hour before the lock. In my example 5 minutes back.

isn't a bug, haves all rom's so far i know, and i think it is because it needs to load
yea it takes a few seconds, and then it updates. bah.
Yes but I think that it is not good every time you unlock the phone to see the clock 1,2,3 hours back.
Yea, happened to me at work too. what I do is look at the lock screen if i only want to see the time. the lock screen's clock is accurate.
It is not a problem. I only don't like these.
The small home screen weather, right beneath the clock, animates. When you open the home screen the weather animates for a short time.
I dont mean the animated background on the home screen which covers the whole screen. I really mean the tiny weather thingy.
I want that to stop. Anyone has any idea how to stop this? I've got the latest 2.5 23xxx Energy Cookie Rom

Well that small animation should only happen when you go back to the home tab or when the clock itself is reloading..... like after you flip the cookietab back down or something.
It doesnt slow down your phone at all and that animation takes a whole, what, 3 seconds? I would just use a rom that doesnt include that weather panel under the clock. The weather may look a bit funny just sort of popping back and forth between your my location weather forcasts as it changes.
I think that weather animation its pretty much standard even on 2.1 roms now.

Its annoying. The weather is fine, but the animation is bugging me ... but oke.
You can remove it but then you won't have any weather there at all. At least to my knowledge.
ICS is driving me a little nuts... First the normal weather and news app cannot seem to find my location. It won't even find me if I manually put it in, city or zip code. Is this because I'm in the US or is this broken?
Second, is there any way I can fix the widget spacing? I put the news, a calendar widget and weather widget on my main page. No matter if they are HTC or Android, the spacing between the widgets is huge and looks terrible. Even adjusting the widget size leaves a huge amount of unusable space.
Appreciate any help!

I noticed the huge gap also in the widgets. I kept trying to move the Google Search widget under the clock and weather but wouldn't go close.
I am guessing this is how it is in ICS?
Anyone find a solution, or are we just the minor few that care?
Unfortunately, between this and the battery life I'm considering returning mine and sticking with my Note.
EDIT: The weather widget is still funky, but I went under settings and even though it wouldn't accept a manual location I used automatic then forced a refresh and it sometimes works.

Unfortunately, despite the large real estate the screen provides, the homescreens are still laid out in a 4x4 grid. So, no matter where you put it, it will still show a gap. Makes no sense, I know. They could've laid everything out in a 5x5 grid. Kinda wastin space. They coulda laid the Vivid out in. 5x4 grid, but they didn't. Sux to have wasted space like that.
You can use Nova or Apex launchers and go to as much as a 7 x 7 grid.
Hi !
Is it possible to animate flip clock in zooper widget ?
Just plain text no background.

No. Zooper works by rendering a bitmap then displaying the bitmap. It does not update fast enough for animation. It won't even do a second hand very well, let alone something that would take multiple frames per second to look right.
Honestly, no widget can do much animation beyond scrolling. I think at some point widgets will bifurcate into widgets like we have now--slow but efficient--and what are essentially windowed apps that can use the GPU and show video, etc. Multi-window already exists...it's really an extension of that.
I have been using Buzz Launcher for quite a long time because of its unique esthetics.
On my Xiaomi Mi Note Pro the widgets were accurate, especially the clock widget but since I switched to other phones, the clock widget is frequently late compared to the true time.
I have been used to it but if someone know what I could do to have my clock widget accurate, I would be quite happy.
I have already turned off battery optimization for Buzz Launcher and Buzz Widget apps.
Remove battery optimization for that widget app

Make sure the apps permission is on. It may be off and therefore. giving a hard time updating.

I did that, and I thought it worked... but now my widget clock is again 8 minutes late.
