Is there an extra large clock/calendar widget (perhaps similar to the HTC)? I would like to use my gtablet in its dock, in landscape with the widget taking up the full screen rather than one corner (which is the biggest I can find now)
The one that I know that would do that is a paid app. It is called beautiful widgets. I paid for it on my phone and transferred it over to the gtablet. I will get some pictures of it in the morning. It is definately worth the money. You can customize so much with it that it makes the htc one look amateur.

Many thanks,
The clocks are excellent and scalable to suit my needs. However, the weather icons (and there are lots of them) are very small and not scalable. I'll look around to see if extra large weather icons exist!
I really liked the stock tapntap one that came on the tab.
Is the apk for that one around? Can't seem to find it.
I'd like to see the stock one also
Same here, does anyone have it or know were we can get it
I'd be interested in that apk too

I see new apps pop up everyday, but how come there haven't been any new widgets yet?
I had a great idea for an alternative to the Google search widget, but I can't find the code for it to work off of. Does anyone have any insight they can share on how or where I can get it?
I liked the idea of the widgets, but after a few days I removed both of them. It just took up to much room on my display. there is already a digital clock, why is a analog one needed too. And my home page is google, so why do I need it on my home screen. Once they come out with useful ones I may try again. But now they just are not needed for me.
Sorry its a bit off topic, but thats always bugged me.

That's the gist of what I was getting at. I hate the analog clock too, and the Google one is almost just as useless. There is a lot of potential, but I'd hate to see a rash of useless ones like some of the apps currently in the market.
You know what would be nice, if you can download a widget that is used on igoogle. there are a lot of cool/useful ones there.
They havent released the SDK for widgets yet. Soon as they do im sure you will see many tip calculator widgets.
I want a weather widget! I would love to see the weather for today and 2 days into the future just like my old Hermes did.
the week before the G1 came out, Android Community was teeming with app and widget ideas. I roposed a weather widget similar to the weather tab on TouchFLO 3D. Instead of having the 3D weather overlay on a blank black screen, the weather would overlay on top of the desktop, making it look liek the weather is happening inside your phone. Imagine your screen getting frost on it from the inside, rain drops dripping down your screen, blurring out your icons, snow blowing across stick to the screen and making snow drifts when it hits your icons.
ok back on topic.
Once the SDK is released there will be a swarm of widgets popping up on the market, but there's definitely going to be some rel crappy things out there, just like apps and games..
I never use one of my screens I would love a weather on to utilize that full window.

You forgot crappy themes lol
might be awhile for widgets, the widget SDK required root access, so they have to pretty much redo the majority of it before they can release it since they don't want anyone to have root access...dunno if that's Google's decision or T-Mobile's.
That's gotta be tmobile doing that. Google's all about open source right?

can we please put that from fiction into reality????!!!! That would be amazing. Another strike against these cocky iphone owners... (only envy from me )
Maybe an own thread - wishlist- app???
there is an app on the market called steamy window. Maybe a good start to combine with a weather app?
I could (for the most part) care less about cupcake's offerings. I want some of the "behind the scenes" stuff to help smooth out the OS, but the flashy stuff I could care less about. Widgets, in my opinion, are the only eye candy I could use or want....
I wonder if it will even be possible to create without root access since it needs to push/pull info from the main application.
My first thought when having the G1, was if they plan to include widgets at some point (which I bet they do), then will they allow us more than 3 homescreens? I mean, the google widgets themselves take up valuable realestate!
I don't get it, why do you say "when the sdk will be released", you mean a total new version of the sdk ?
And why can't we now, develop widget, we just have to look how the google search widget was done and realise some widget.
And yes, the htc meteo interface is really amazing, if someone realise something like that for android, it will be awesome
this is my first post here, but i must note, you guys at XDA are doing great and giving the us little guys the cutting edge in the palm of our hands. i am currently using the Dude's cupcake build, the 5 homescreens is a great feature, we can now have a tons of widgets.
i am not a developer and dont know if my idea is even doable, but looks like u guys here can do anything lol.
i would love to see a widget that displays the current position on a map.
to complicate things, my idea of such a widget would include the option to turn GPS on/off, zoom in/out, search and so on...i assume such a widget would drain the battery however i believe such a widget would be very useful for those of us who travel a lot.
i would like to see other opinions...
Searched (here and google) but couldn't find an answer. If it has already been posted, I apologise.
I just got my HTC Hero and I'm adjusting quite well from the change from WM6 to Android (used to have the HTC Touch Pro, aka the Raphael I think) but I was wondering whether HTC sense on the Hero interface can be changed (e.g. clock, colours) or if there are skins available, like there were for WM. Just to be clear, I know there are loads of apps out there (OpenHome, aHome etc) to change the normal interface, but they all seem to be focused on the Hero without the Sense interface. I want the Sense interface, but would like to change the analogue clock, the colours etc.
Thanks in advance!
No you can't really do that at the moment.
But there are several widgets for clock, you can change the background and the lock screen. Or you can pu any widget that you want instead of HTC's
haven't seen those either, not for Sense anyway, do you maybe have links/names of those apps for me? would really appreciate it! thanks!
Photo Clock is a good one. It has about 10 different faces, including 2 or 3 where you can choose a photo or your own pic as the base background for the clock. Just type clock into the market... All clock widgets for android can be used "for sense" - you just dump the HTC Clock widget and load one from the Android Widgets section. That goes for all android widgets.
I'm assuming you know there are 13 different clocks on the HTC Clock widget for Hero?

No, I didn't know that, I've only had it a couple of days and did look around on the phone for ways to change it, but I don't seem to be able to find it (I realise I'm sounding like a complete noob now, but oh well). The Photo Clock app sounds good as well, will have a look at that if (after someone has been so kind as to help me locate the different styles for the standard app) I don't like them.
Thanks for helping me out with this!
edit: I just found it! power of posting I guess It was under HTC-widget and I'd only been looking under Android-widget...Now I think about it, not too smart...
So you're sorted? Its not that obvious tho I have to say, as the options for screen widgets only come up when you choose them, so unless you dump one then reapply, you don't see them.
On all HTC widgets there's a little number (1/12) at the bottom saying how many options for views there are for that widget - some have loads, others only 1.
Also check out the SCENES - I only just got round to seeing those - they are like template arrangements of screen widgets that you can switch to and fro between, and also gives the option to save different custom arrangements.
I have one with links to all my porn and a photoframe with naked men that I have to quickly turn off and swap for the business one with the classy blue world wallpaper in case the hubby sees.... (kidding...)
They look seriously useful but I've not had a full mess with them yet. It was VERY simple to pop back to my own eclectic Scene set up tho

I've searched the 'net, I've looked at every crappy icon pack in the market, and I absolutely cannot find an icon pack that I am satisfied with.
Basically what I'm looking for are solid (non-transparent) versions of the LauncherPro icons, or icons that are identical (one solid color with no transparency or shadowing) so that I can edit them to my liking.
I've got decent photoshopping skills, but I've tried goofing around with the LauncherPro icons to no avail, I can't get them looking quite right.
Recommendations would be MUCH appreciated!
I assume you mean the application icons, in the applications list? Are you able to provide a screenshot of one you tried to edit (before or after)?

Sorry, I lost track and didn't subscribe. I'm just talking about the stock Launcher Pro Dock icons, sort of.

See the ones at the bottom? Like that, basically.
I See What You Mean.
Someone should release a vector version of those icons. :/
Wrong post. I'm dumb.
I know what you mean. I always find great icons, but they don't look right in the dock. They're made too small and look bad.
Here you go: http://www.iconfinder.com/browse
There are currently 760 full icon sets in there as I type this, all free, some for even commercial use, which allow you to download in .png or .ico format. You can even search for individual replacements for icons as well.
Happy hunting!

I've searched high and low, but can't seem to find an answer to this question.
I'd like to take the stock time/date from the lockscreen on my Thunderbolt and place it onto my homescreen.
I'm running Das BAMF Remix 1.7 which has the "Verizon Wireless" nuked from the lockscreen. I think this time/date is so simple and it'd look perfect on my homescreen, but I have no idea how to put it there.
Try simple clock widget from market. Not exactly what your looking for I know, but fairly similar.
Sent from my Motorola 8500
I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I do appreciate the quick response.
I've tried both simple clock and digital clock, and while both are pretty damn close, they're not quite right. I'm too particular I suppose.
I'm hoping someone knows how I can extract the time/date from the lockscreen (perhaps as an apk?) and then I can just flash it like any other mod.
Can you post a screenshot? I looked through the Roms thread for pictures, im just being curious (nosy)
Make Your Clock Widget or .. Make Your Clock Widget (Pro)
mClock or Minimalistic Text
Give those a try. - Also, I think "OMC" One more Clock has what you're looking for as a default skin.
i suppose i was just being lazy. after a bit of patience, i was able to use minimalistic text to mimic the stock lockscreen date/time perfectly. the only extremely minor glitch i can't quite fix now is the positioning. when i unlock my phone if you look carefully you can see the time/date jump just a few pixels. i don't think this is something i can fix though, as it probably has something to do with the different ways in which widgetlocker and launcher pro plus draw their grids between the lockscreen and the homescreen.
