Most Sense like weather/clock widget on STOCK?

Hey, I am on a stock N1, I am looking for a pretty identical widget for weather/clock, you know what you see on say, the Desire. What app and what skin can you recommend? I do not mind paying.

BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS

Fancy widget is also nice and it's free.

I've tried:
Beautiful Widgets
Weather Widget & Toggle
Fancy Widget
Top => Bottom = least realistic to most realistic.
However, top=>bottom = most features to least features.
Fancy Widget comes the closest. I somehow feel it's slightly slower than the other two though. Not sure.

using fancy widgets for a while now and i have 0 problems.
I like it the most cause i want just a clock + weather that looks exactly like the HTC one, and i do not want xxxx features that i don't use anyway.
just a clock + weather + you can choose what happens when you hit the clock. thats it.

Fancy Widget for the win!

Beautiful Widgets does that, along with opening the calendar when tapping the date and your weather app of choice when tapping the forecast. Also has an HTC skin thats pretty much spot-on, with dozens more to choose from. Same with Weather & Flip clock. I don't see fancy widget being available for long, HTC will shut them down for copying their look.

Is it just me or has fancy widgets disappeared from the market?

That's the result of a Cease & Desist request from good ole HTC. You won't see it in the Market anymore. They will continue on under a different name and style. Paul has the latest in his r20 build.

I have the final version of Fancy Widget, but not sure if it's okay to post. PM me if anyone wants it.

Simple clock widget?

I can't seem to find three default android clock widget and the market us flooded with crap. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately Samsung didn't include any stock Android clock widgets. They did include the Nexus One live wallpaper though, so go figure. I recommend throwing down for Beautiful Widgets, it's like $1.90 and can do amazing things.

"Weather and toggle widget" $1.99.
I've always liked the "Sense" flip clock and this is satisfies my taste.

I use one that's just called Digital Clock Widget by Maize. Just a really simple digital time with the day under it. Can be a 1x2 or a 1x4 widget. Not TOO much customization, but it definitely does the job well.

What's wrong with the Samsung Clock Widget that comes with the phone?

I am using Retro Clock.

I really like this app too, plus it has many downloadable skins you can get for the clock and weather.

Fancy Widget is nice and free (but i can't post a link since i'm a newbie)

lol, no one knows how to get the default clock widget. I'm surprised. To me that was one of the trademarks of android. That big clock widget on the G1

And has anyone figured out how to remove the clock from the status bar on the top? I did a search, but nothing turned up. . .

predator clock widget 1x4 setting is awesome .u can change colors to match ur wallpapers very cool ul love it and its free in the market

It is is not a simple clock widget, but Fancy Widget Pro is da bomb!

I use "animated analog clock" by DNS project. It has seconds hand! 99% of clocks have no seconds! Is it really that hard to makes clock shows seconds??

I like Simi Clock Widget. Clean appearance, can launch multiple apps by tapping, and its free.

Fancy Widget Pro is the best out there for clock and weather. Has so many skins and new ones every day!

I've been looking for a Android digital clock with "seconds" since I left WM Not sure why we don't have any....

SenseUI style clock?

I love the SenseUI clock widget....is there something just like it?? Preferrably one that shows the date too

Have a look at "Beautiful Widgets". They have a theme-able clock which looks similar.

Fancy Widget

Fancy widget

Weather widget donate version looks good and had a whole bunch of skins...
My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...

I've got both fancy widget and Beautiful widgets. Both can be set to look like sense however I prefer beautiful widgets because it has more skins and programmable options such as you can choose what apps to open when tapping the weather, clock and date. I have mine set to open my weather bug pro, alarm and calendar similar to the sense UI

Is there any way, any where to get the Fancy Widget anymore? I'm guessing its been taken down...

IMHO Fancy widget is as close as you can be to Sense. BW or WW are off as far as I like. BW is too close to edges and WW is a bit too low within widget.

Layering Widgets with LauncherPro Plus

I'm trying to create a new look on my phone and I'm currently using LauncherPro Plus. I can't post a link to the design I'm going for since I haven't hit 8 posts yet, but basically I have gTab Simi Clock set up to fill half of the screen with a semi-transparent background and I want to overlay a beautiful widgets weather setup on top of the Simi Clock.
Every time I try to place the BW widget on up it gets shuffled above or below it. How do I set it up so the widgets will overlay?
Thanks

Add simi clock first, add bw after and resize it. Resize simi over bw. Restart launcher pro.

Thank you kindly sir! That worked perfectly.

It seems this only works for the homescreen you're currently looking at. For example, if I'm looking at homescreen 2 and reset LauncherPro, the widgets will be properly layered on that screen, but reversed on the others. If I go to homescreen 1 and reset LauncherPro while looking at it, homescreen 2 will then be improperly layered. The only "fix" seems to be to intentionally incorrectly layer every screen but one, and then reset LauncherPro while looking at that screen.
I've posted a bug report on the LauncherPro boards. Hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

[THEME] Honeycomb Theme

I looked around and basically just couldn't find a good honeycomb theme anywhere from what I saw so I decided to take matters into my own hands...I do like honeybread for CM7...but it was just not exactly what I was looking for. So I'm running on the ADW Launcher EX so anyone can have the exact same setup with no problems at all. The Apps+ icon in the top right I made with the SiMi Folder widget with a custom pic icon...the clock in the bottom right is the One More Clock widget from the market. My messenger/calendar/gmail widgets are all from the Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets from the market. The bottom left icon I made with desktop visualizer and just have it linked to my current browser. The analog clock is obviously the Honeycomb clock FREE from the market. If you go into the ADW settings you just change the screen transition effect to Effect 1 to get the nice honeycomb like scrolling effect. I have gestures setup so when you swipe up on the home screen it pulls up the app drawer and if you swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...this way I can still use them w/o it ruining the honeycomb look. I also added the circle batter widget into the mix in the bottom left. My home screen is setup for constant landscape orientation and 10 wide by 7 high icon space...this was made this way just to make the icons and stuff where I wanted them too. You can't really use all of this space because the widgets overlap and it just makes it a pain so I don't recommend it. The other thing you have to do is download the free honeycomb theme on the market for adw...this is just to get the google widget that I am using. Also you'll want to download the honeycomb wallpapers app from the market...this is where I got my wallpaper from cuz it just looks the best in landscape...the one that comes with the theme just isn't that good if you ask me...both apps are made by the same developer. Anyways...here are some pics...I'm running this on my OG Droid with the MIUI ROM on it...hope you all enjoy. Just click on the pictures to look at them bigger and get a better idea of how it looks...I added them to this originally with them already full but the preview was cutting off the right side of the pictures and I just didn't want to chance it...please tell me what you think.
Here is a list of all the Apps/Widgets that were used:
ADWLauncher EX by AnderWeb - $3.18
Honeycomb ADW Theme by GFX Android - FREE
Honeycomb Wallpapers by GFX Android - FREE
Circle Battery Widget by Cedric Depoortere - FREE

hahaha...sorry man...i figured everyone would just look at the pics and if they liked then in order to get it all the same they will have to read it all anyways...wasn't really worried about what format all the information was in...the only thing that doesn't have anything to do with the setup is the first sentence of why i made this

so how did you get the honeycomb status bar?

i like it
but i hate how its landscape
\
ill make it more "portate friendly" if you can share the icons/theme elements

yeah the landscape makes it a little bit of a pain to use at times so i can understand not liking it that way...luckily you can make it portrait...just might take some tweaking...i've added a list of the apps/widgets that i used so that you can easily find them on the market...i would add links to app brain or something but i can't add links on here cuz i dont' have enough posts yet.
I'll also add the 2 custom icons i made for this...they aren't the greatest and i'm sure you could find better but it's what i'm using...there are only 2 custom icons...the apps+ in the top right and the icon in the lower left. I'll add them right away.

plumppp said:

there really is no status bar...the bottom right is the One More Clock widget and the bottom left is just a desktop visualizer widget and the circle battery widget...the original status bar i have still in tact...just have to swipe down and it pulls it up.
Also for everyone else i've added 2 more pictures that are the custom icons that you need to make it just like this or even to make it in portrait view...just click to blow it up and then right click/save as in order to keep the icon see through and not white in areas

If you're using the xda app, I usually have to use jpg files. Make sure shootme is set to take jpg pictures instead of PNG. Just open up the app and press menu -> preferrences.

squid try what blu3poptart said with the jpeg thing and see if that works...only thing is the 2 icon files i attached to this are both png files...so idk...i don't use the xda app to post anything...so maybe that is your problem like he says
