Beautiful Live Weather

Has anyone tried using the "beautiful live weather" live wallpaper (the live wallpaper connected to beautiful Widgets)? I really love this live wallpaper, and it looks great on my N1.
However, I'm curious as to how it looks on the HD screen... if it looks good, I am probably going to order the GN tomorrow...
Thanks!

looks pretty awesome on the screen. however it does lag a bit, as it does with all live wps other than the default phase beam. i am guessing that is more of an ics compatibility issue.

It looks like you set the wrong one. There should be two beautiful live wallpapers in the list. There is a basic one (which you have set) and another one which uses open gl for pretty animations etc. The latter is much better..
Can you try out that one for me
Thank you! I am so happy that it formats ok, it is completely messed up on my tab.

Would you mind posting a screenshot so I can send it to levelup? I hope they will be willing to give BLW ICS/HD screen compatibility...
Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it

I didn't even know bw had live wallpapers. I just set it and it looks nice. I'll probably use my black still wallpaper to save battery. here are 2 screenshots

I tried it and it works pretty well. Its very cloudy and thus so was my home screen. Kinda bummed me out so I went back to my vibrant wallpaper.
The lag was minimal compared to others. Kinda makes me mad that live wallpapers are sluggish. Live wallpapers are really cool to show off android. The home screen experience should be top notch. Hopefully it gets better.
I'd hate to leave my G2x to a phone that can't run live wallpapers.

Favorite Weather App and Widget For Your Galaxy Nexus

The one thing I miss on Android is a weather app and widget that works reliably. What do you use?

I use the beautiful widget home weather clock

Stock news and weather app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a Sense like app that is more clock than weather, Fancy Widgets or Beautiful widgets are both good. I personally prefer Fancy Widgets.
1Weather is a very nice weather app. It's got a widget that is very nice, but not a clock. I like this app a lot better than the sense type apps because it actually has some decent information in it.

beautiful widget and one more clock

weather
i know people will question why... but I use weatherbug. I like it when my weather app provides a text summary for the current and forecasted weather.

Appearance wise, I like Fancy Widgets.
Accuracy wise I like Palmary Pro; I can select a weather server that I know I trust and that is updated frequently enough.
Which one do I use? Fancy Widgets since I'm a poseur.

Beautiful Widget. Nice and simple.

Why would someone question it? If it is what you like.... What are they going to say, "No, you don't like that"? People will always flame but who cares.
I use beautiful Widgets for the week forecast, but I also like the weather info in AOKP.
I have used and like the Widgets for Weather bug, 1Weather, and of course Beautiful Widgets.
I wish there were more Widgets available that don't look like HTC Sense. IMO

Damn, that's nice!

beautiful widge ts for sure, best way to go

1weather because its attractive and has an innovative layout. Doesn't look like every other weather app. 2x2 widget is nice, I hardly ever open the app. The only thing I wish is that the background color could be changed. The brown is a bit weird...

I use SiMi Clock and it's weather. I don't like the huge sun on the Sense weather clones. I use the SiMi weather icon as a launcher and use 1Weather for detailed information.

Aix Weather Widget and The Weather Channel (mainly because it has weather maps).

1weather. Most elegant I've ever seen.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I use HD Widgets, bought it when it was part of the Google 10c sale a while back.
I do like the sense-clone weather widgets and this one offers some really nice customisation options. I have it setup with a more flat background so it matches in nicely with the Simi Calendar widget.

just tried android weather and I must admit that it's veeery nice..

As for accuracy.....
I tested several apps, and WeatherBug Elite clearly had the most accurate forecasts for me.

I also like Minimalistic Text but it's woefully short on features. I cannot seem to get rid of the damn location.
I would love a simple 3 day option in place of the city.
I also see what you guys mean about 1weather. I do like that it puts it into the notification shade though. That's very cool. Pretty much useless temp number in the corner. The font is way to small but that feature is nice as well.
Simple Weather Alert is neat in a old school kind of way.

[THEME/UI][TUTORIAL][VIDEO ADDED!] DropUI | A minimal UI (updated: 15th Sept)

*Click image for high res. version.​
It has been a while since I made a real homescreen, I had been using Windows Phone for a while before I got my Galaxy S3. You guys have no idea how suffocating those tiles were (But I still love the MetroUI).
So, I call this setup DropUI cause of the raindrops in it. I have this strange fascination about them, they calm me down. You might notice the edges have black spots, they're there so that the screen looks rounded too. Inside the screen is another layer (or I call it a base). The base has the nav, the dock and the folders. I had to include the dock inside the wallpaper and then use blank icons on my launcher cause 7x10 grid was a pain to work with.
I had seen many setups before I created this, the best and the most unique ones used SweeterHome which is a beta launcher and is clunky. I believe in functionality over looks so I chose one of the best launchers out there, Apex Launcher. (You can use GoLauncher too but Apex has some nice gesture controls.) I made most of it, I had to mash up two icon sets and add in some effects to them. (resources are listed below). Unlike most of the complex setups which make it really hard to change wallpapers, each of my homescreen changes its wallpaper automatically. I had to make couple of wallpaper variations but same wallpapers get boring after a while. The folders are made up of Simi Folder widget and the text is made up of Minimalistic Text.

When you add the widget there are many options, just go to background colour, and where it says "Alpha" set it all they way up to the right to transparent.

Great . Many many thanks .

On my phone (ROM: iomega 9.0) it only says loading. But doesn't show any results. Configuration works fine but as soon as I add it: nothing.
Apart from the 'not-working on my phone' a beautiful app!

Well that shouldnt happen, try uninstalling and installing again, probably it will get fixed. Maybe you could try adding manually your location as well, it might be a problem of you GPS who knows : D

Work nicely! Thanks a lot.

Looks good but could do with an ICS blue (#33b5e5) icon set and the ability to type in a colour code for the text rather than just the touch palette!

Its rather cool - works very well too on my S3. Anywhere I can go to get additional icons?

Lookin for app to lock icon positions on screens.

Hey, gang. I did several searched through the site but didn't find a solution. Let me toss this out there. I'm looking for an app with a particular function. What I want to do is "freeze" the locations of the icons/widgets on the screens. Something that will allow their use, but not their moving or deletion.
Here's the deal. My daughter loves my N7, and uses it for her ECSE and speech therapy classes with specific apps to facilitate her development. (She's ASD.) She's really good about the length of time she's on the tablet, and has never gone off and gotten into any trouble with it. The problem is that several of her apps have a "drag and drop on the red X" function to close particular segments or sections within the apps. They're similar enough to the "drag and drop onto the red X" function in the Droid UI that she gets confused, deletes the icons for the apps themselves, and then can't find them the next time she wants to use them.
While I can set up a second user with her name and the same development apps that she uses, it still won't stop her from losing icons from time to time.
I've looked into a number of parental control apps, and while they clamp things down, I haven't found one that locks or "freezes" the positions of the icons.
Does something like this even exist? Trolling through Google Play hasn't found anything specific. Device is stock 4.2.2, unlocked and rooted, if that makes any different in recommendations. Thanks, all. :fingers-crossed:

Have you tried something like Apex Launcher? You could set up the layout and then use the Lock Desktop option to prevent any changes to the home screens.

I think this is the easiest way to do this. You'll get the same functionality from Nova too and HOLO I think.

With SS Launcher you can move any icon to any position on the screen (no grid), rotate to any angle, resize and recolor, pretty much unlimited. Many examples in this thread. My Home (notice Flipboard and FUEL at an angle; also notice that Wifi Manager widget is "behind" Widgetsoid widgets at bottom so all are active):

Sorry to not get back sooner, got mired in a 65 hour week.
Cue forehead-slapping "doh!" image. I got my head fixated on an app, and completely forgot about alternate launchers. Brilliant suggestion, guys, many thanks. Can you run the lock functions over a stock layout? ASD kids do well with routine and familiarity, and it would help that she not have to relearn new of screen layouts. OTOH, I can always replicate the layout that I already have, too.
Thanks again, gang, the advice and recommendations are appreciated.

I know nova aill let you import the layout from other launchers not sure if apex does it too or not. But worth checking.
