Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what decent HD resolution clock widgets with weather-(not overly important though) there is out there?
Ive looked easily looked through 100 and without installing them all and seeing what each one is like they all look very similar
I like a fairly stock look - clean, tidy but not too minimalistic, but not busy, loud and in you face either (power consuming).
For the past 2 years i've been using the Chrome Rings clock/weather widget from OneMoreClock (copied from the Motorola Razr i think?) which was lovely but looks dated now, i like the 4x2 widget size but would happily use one at 4x1.
so any input/help from anyone would be great and thanks in advance :highfive:

I'm looking for a Sense style flip clock/weather widget to use with CM7. I know, since its AOSP, that thats a mighty high request. But heres my reasoning. Ive seen some ROM's and themes that use the Sense Clock widget on a Non-Sense build. And its not Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget. Its seems like its the same clock to a T. I would use BW, but I'm anal about my homescreen, and the fact the corners on so sharp on the BW is just ugly to me. I know theres physically no way to get Sense widgets on an AOSP build, but anyone know of any widgets that are exactly the same?
There is an older Fancy Widget apk floating around which is almost indistinguishable from the Sense flip clock.

thats awesome. would you know where i could find such a thing?
Just search for Sense Analog Clock on the Market and there are some nice ones and they are free. Mine shows Time, date, Internal memory free, RAM free, Battery temp, Battery % and weather. You can also download free skins for it to make it look the way you want it.
that ones not bad. but I remember the beautiful widgets looking almost exactly like the sense clock. anyone know where I can get this?

I sent you a PM.
EDIT: Actually for some reason, it isn't letting me send the PM. "Private Messaging is temporarily unavailable"
EDIT2: If you search teh Google for Fancy Widget v1.2.4 or Fancy Widget v1.3.0 -- I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
I think fancy widgets is closer. If you get the pro, there are skins you can get that make it pretty much identical.
Here is a post with a bunch of themed fancy widget apks that close to the sense clock:

that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Hi does any1 no if htc sence clock and weather widget work on SGS2? if so where can i find it?, if not anyone no of the best looking widget thats identical to it?

Without any doubt, "Beautiful Widgets". There are tons of Sense themes to this set of widgets.

yeh i did notice that but didnt see any in there that look identicaly the same, would there be a apk for the proper htc sence widget that would work on our sgs2?
I personally use the SuperClock with SuperSense theme. Looks very good and "sensy" to me.

Superclock is a version of the beautiful widgets clock. supersense is a theme you can install from within beautiful widgets.
the weather widget of SGs2 is crap it takes ages to update and the shortest one for update is 3hrs damn

Using LauncherPro instead of TouchWiz. A lot more customisation.
carnt seem to find the sence in there, i just have a standard 1 installed in there and a tab for downloaded skins which just trys to loads skins but not doing anything i guess its supposed to me in there?
Yes the sense skin will be under the download tab.
Do a google search for "fancywidget.apk" This is the clock you are looking for. Its been pulled from most places im guessing for HTC copyright infringements but you can still find it if you look hard enough.
The app is called LP classic sense (you also get sense theme for your LP+ widgets) it's EXACTLY the same as fancywidget (wich was taken of the market way long ago)
I would have posted a screenshot but im not aloud yet
Yes but you need to install LauncherPro in order to get it and therefor get charged. You can still get fancywidget and use it with any launcher without having to pay for LauncherPro and the Sense add-on!!
I got lp sence and clock widget from market which the clock is good but i thought it come with sence wallpaper but no sign of it

Not true. Fancy Widget is still on the Market with the HTC weather clock style. The clock and weather skins are both called 'H7C'.
"Not true. Fancy Widget is still on the Market with the HTC weather clock style. The clock and weather skins are both called 'H7C'"
Thats now gone from the market also. I get the impression that LauncherPro now have exclusive rights to this clock and they are not letting anyone else have it!!

I just said above you that it is there. I have just checked again... it is there!
Look at my screenshot.
I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me what this clock/weather widget is shown in the screenshot as well as how to get it. This screenshot is from the Virtuous Affinity ROM thread in the development section. I was hoping that it is another version/form of an HTC Sense widget as I am already familiar with the many alternatives available. I like to use HTC's version of the clock widget and wasn't sure if this was one. Thanks in advance!
P.S. -- Because I am "new" poster, I could not link the image, so I attached it to this thread instead.

You have to have a sense 3.5 ROM to have this clock.
Cool. Thanks tylerlawhon. I appreciate you replying so quickly and letting me know this. I am currently running SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 which only uses Sense 3.0, so I wasn't able to find the widget. Thanks again.

Lol actually to be clear, the build.prop only says 3.0. It's not full 3.0, but 2.1 with 3.0 parts added as well as other tweaks.
My personal recommendation for a solid 3.5 ROM would be mikrunny 1.01. Very solid, very fast. Make sure you check out the odexed version instead of deodexed.
Clock
If you don't want to install a new ROM, you can also install Fancy Widget which has a theme that looks exactly like it and then just set the clock, weather, date to open the same apps as the sense weather widget. Works exactly the same and looks exactly the same.
Beautiful Widgets is a reasonable alternative too.

BW has a compact widget like this?
I guess it would be 1x4 size? Or possibly 2x4? Lol, can't tell...

Yes BW does ... I believe its 4x1 (i.e. 4 wide 1 high)....BW refers to it as something like Beautiful Smaller Home in its list of available widgets. Of course, last I looked BW is a paid app --- I just happened to get it for less than a buck when the Market had all those sales around Christmas time.
Synergy makes the best weather lock screen out.

when you open your phone the weather items come at you almost like 3d.
Anyone know how to mod this to work on the SGS2 Touch? Would be truly awesome.

Looks nice, it'd be great if it was possible to port or something to this phone.

This requires HTC Sense. I worked on some of these in the past but until someone ports Sense to the Epic Touch your probably going to be out of luck.

That's more of a feature mod for HTC Sense. Hopefully, when swamp golbin gets his Epic Touch and ports sense we'll get to see that beautiful lockscreen
Try beautiful widgets. VERY nice to weather widget

Be Weather looks amazing. But I see it's using Weather Underground data. Since they were bought buy The Weather Channel Companies a couple weeks ago I bet they're going to stop support.
Thanks. Been using be weather. It is pretty awesome. I like the option to place weather in the status bar and drop down. Cool stuff.
Wish the original maker was still making this awesome weather lockscreen.
I tried it out and while it is pretty cool, I did not see an option for a transparent widget. Only way I can use a weather app with a widget on my homescreen since I want to see my wallpaper as well. Mind you I am talking about the free version. The pro might have it but I didn't want to pay to find out that such a widget did not exist for this app.
Does anybody know if you can create a shortcut/icon to launch straight to the htc alarms (tab of the clock app)?
I love how slick the htc alarms, timer, stopwatch etc look (first android one I've seen that looks as good as the stock iphone clock.. but I really don't like how it launches to a map of the globe.
Me wants this too
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Hello, i woul like to do so too.
I tried reorganising the order of the down choices but it still goes to the map when clicking on the clock widget.
afraid not possible on stock, but nothing that can't be worked around using different (3rd party) widgets.

I have spent hours looking for a clock/alarm widget that looks as polished as the sense clock and is built for 720p.. have not found one.. a few contenders, but they have blurred graphics because built for lower res..
