Weather & Toggle Widget help - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the clock screen preferences, i went to "clock skin downloader" and i saw about 5 HTC and H7C skins. I tried to download one of the HTC clock skins but it says it's a "invalid arguement". So i try to download a H7C clock skin and it finishes downloading. So i go to "install skin from sdcard" and i tap on the skin but it says " invalid clock skin file". What should I do...? I just want it to look like this: http://androidandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/device7.png

I had beautiful widgets but i rather have more weather animations than clouds and rain. Anyway so for uninstalling cm 6, do i just flash it again?

How to install skin
This is for anyone having the same problem.
After downloading .apk files install them by clicking on them. Then go to the weather & widget toggle app. Go to install market skins and they should be in the list.
Hope this helps!

I have the same problem as above. I have a rooted EVO 4G. I'm not sure why I can't find the data base of skins. Let me know if someone knows something. Thanks.

You techically answered your own question.
The two that I know of is Beautiful Widgets and Weather Widget. There is also a free version.
Fancy widget is the best ive seen for free!
There's a metamorph though that can give you the sense analog too, in case you're interested.
And congrats on becoming a mod binary

I have had problems with beautiful widget. Plus this one you can set multiple cities

Fancy Widgets is quite nice.
It's working well so far, the weather is generally a degree or two off of my local news forecast, but I think that's expected since it's probably using a much broader weather feed.
I do wish it wasn't 3+ MB though. Oh well, can't have everything.

For those using CM6 and miss sense

Before i say anything i say right now i take no credit for any of this work, im only mirroring a thread and spreading the love.
i missed some of the simple parts of sense, like the color and icons and the launcher so i found something to bring it back

Fancy Widget download:http://www.4shared.com/file/17FwFiad/Fancy_Widget_v130.htm
Edit: seems the Vatsense removes the auto brightness toggle, for me this isnt an issue but beware for those who depend upon it
PM me if you have any suggestions for apps,widgets, or any other add-ons that give CM6 a better Sense feel and ill post a link
beautiful widgets make sure its atleast version 3
Thanks works great

Nice Find! works great! Feels like 2.1 sense
if your looking for a HTC Sense flipclock exact replica, get fancy widget.
HTC ripped it off the market, they didnt like it, but if you google for the apk, you can find it... V1.3.0
AND, if your looking for a sense lockscreen, use widget locker,
you can set the UI to Sense under its settings
looks pretty cool.
CM6 undercover!

not many people know this for some odd reason but even before i found this it was possible from the start to change the status bar to any color you choose (purple, red, gree, black...) you would hafta got to CM settings and go into user interface from there and theres alot of options to change the colors and even the transparency of the pulldown bar, text colors, ect.

Reboot.
if that doesn't work, you can go under the notification colors, and under the status bar notifications(the first section), make sure everything is #ffffff
Did all the that and still it stays black. Every thing else is perfect.

Make sure you set it to #ffffffff and after typing in the color code, press the white circle in the center or it won't save.

[Q] Looking for the widget/app

Ok, First, I AM A NOOB AT ALL OF THIS and I have used the search for this. All I can find is HTC responses. I am trying to find out whatever widget/app has the flip clock time & weather WITH the windshield wiper. Is this available on my Captivate? My captivate is rooted with the "one-click root." If someone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.
Beautiful widget or simple widget are the closes thing. The htc clock with wiper is a sense only clock.

I use fancy widget and enjoy it, but I do not believe it has animations. I have re-skinned it to fit my theme but have never seen any animations. I am using v1.3.0 and have not checked for later versions, though. I thought it was no longer being developed. Are you using a later version?
+1 fancy widget
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The Weather Forecast & Clock Widget is very similar and is free.
Edit: sorry, it dots not have the wiper, or any animation for that matter.

HTC Clock?

Hi. Is there an apk file for the HTC clock widget? I'm about to switch to the cm ROM and I want the HTC clock widget. I prefer the flip clock(doesn't flip on aria though) with the weather. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
I don't know about a "flipping" one but Factory Widgets makes one very similar to the HTC clock. If you search for it in the market using the maker it is impossible to miss.

Yes, you will have to load a 3rd party widget because the HTC clock widget is dependent upon HTC Sense which CM 6/7 does not support.
I think the factory widget designs, even those aped from HTC, look horrible. I personally recommend fancy widgets and to a much lesser extent beautiful Widgets if you're looking for well made clock weather widgets.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Fancy widget definitely. I have an older version and its identical to the sense clock.

Fancy widget is one of the few apps I actually paid for. +1 for Fancy widget.
Fancy Widgets is great but I like the beautiful Widgets because you can choose many styles of the HTC clock to change it up a bit and rock your style.

[Q] Adding Widgets..

Hi all,
Just installed DL30 w/ super clean .7 I was wondering if there is anyway to get the facebook widget? or some of the useful ones. The widget selection on here is kinda bunk.
You have to install the Facebook application from the market.

Look into colorize widgets. Kind of like HTC Sense widgets.
As far as I remember it installs with the app. Pure messenger widget will do the same thing.... well sorted of.
