I'm getting my Droid this week, and was planning on getting Beautiful Widgets once I did. Unfortunately, HTC's C&D made LevelUp pull the app tonight. I was wondering if there was any way someone could make a backup of the app and post it for me to download and transfer it to my SD Card once I get it.
I'm not sure if this is allowed, but since the app is now pulled from the market and not available for purchased, I assumed it is.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out.
No wares aren't allowed on xda
I'm kinda impressed you're gonna get an Android phone and already know what widgets you want haha. Less it's not your first Android phone.
if you downloading beautiful widget for its htc style clock/weather, you can buy the alternative: weather widget (donate) which also comes with the clock and came out before beautiful widget and is still being updated (for now unless they get hit with a C&D too). for all the toggles widgets you can get those free here on xda skinned by manup. do a search.
Hope weather widget doesnt get hit up...but if they do I hope they only have to pull the default skin for the clock and weather and nothing else
I just flashed a new ROM and then read about the C&D on his Twitter... Gonna have to scour my laptop to try and find a backup now D:

Nope. It's my first. I'm sitting here with an unlocked iPhone 2G on T-Mobile, but I become eligible for an upgrade tomorrow. Waiting for news on the Nexus One, which appears to be headed to T-Mobile.

Any flip clock widget? That was the main reason I was interested in Beautiful Widgets; I wanted the clock to actually flip (I was under the impression it did).
Beautiful Widgets worked WAAAAAAAAAY Better than Weather Widget Donate, and got updated more.
Sad that they were bullied by C & D. If thats the case they should change the look and feel a little and re-up on the market. Lets see the designer of the original physical flip clock send a C & D to HTC for infringing on his design.

if you are interested in a flip clock that actually flips, check out this home replacement app (still beta):
home++
I have the beautiful widget but my problem is that after I got the Cyanogen's 4.2.10.1 my phone was messed up and I had to do a fresh install and go to 4.2.9.1 I have a back up but the problem I am running into is that the forecast animations are not getting downloaded. I know those are free...does anyone have any clue how to get those????
anyone know of one? the absolute biggest draw for me to Sense UI is that beautiful clock/weather widget. If I could get a good copy of it, I would be more willing to switch to vanilla roms.
I know there is that flip clock that looks just like it without the weather, and by the same person there is a weather widget that looks like it without the clock. however, splitting them up doesnt look good at all, and the weather is always 10 degrees off.
there's also beautiful widgets... which costs money. so if anyone knows of a sense ui clock clone, or hell, if you know of any clock/weather combos that you think look cool, go ahead and share it too, if I cant find a clone, maybe I can find one that's better!
Weather & toggle widget, by android apps. You have to instal the ht7 skin for the clock a and the weather. it has nice weather animations too. Very similar to htc but no full screen animating when coming off the lockscreen. I believe its a dollar in the market, but something like that is definitely worth it..

Closest thing I've found so far..
spend the 2 bucks...
Beautiful widgets is well worth the whopping two bucks...loads of skins for both the clock and the weather, you can hide the background, change font colors and now you can even hide the weather if you want. By far my favorite even over the sense ui original.
I can do all of that with weather and toggle widgets. And it's free, not that 2 bucks is a lot, just sayin

"Fancy Widget" is pretty nice. It's free too.

Weather and toggle (android apps) is also a paid app now and has been for a while...there is a free version but it has a lot less features...either way there are options out there.
I have both Beautiful Widgets and Weather and Toggle .... they are both awesome apps .... I will go thru phases ...right now I have been using Weather/toggle widgets more .....but next week it may be different

This is what I was about to suggest, it is free and looks exactly like the original, and when you tap the weather part of the widget, a 5 day forecast window pops up very quickly.
Love it.
fancy widget looks like its gonna do the trick! it's exactly one for one what I was looking for. brings up a forecast and the clock app when you click on it in different areas. too bad there's no animation, but I can live without it, it just looks so cool.
the other suggestions were great as well, I tried every one that's in here (if it was free, I'm a total cheap skate)
thanks everyone!
Does anyone know where I can get the buddies now widget for captivate? I lost it when I flashed cognition's rom and would like to have it back on my phone. Thanks in advance for all of the help!
Look for the JI6 2.2 system dump somewhere in these forums. It has it in there. I'd point you to it but being on my phone that's a little hard

The Buddies now widget is part of the TW Launcher. You won't be able to use the widget without using the launcher. The last few Cog Roms have not had the TW Launcher included. However Launcher Pro+ has a widget called friends that is essentially the same thing.
I too have been wondering if anyone has had the inclination, knowledge, or time to separate the widget from TW.
I like the BN widget better than the Friends widget in LPro. I like the one-touch call/message feature, the facebook/twitter updates, and especially the overall ui. I've looked in Market, AppBrain, throughout XDA and Googled it. Nothing that has that roladex-like action to it that isn't really buggy. (Tried Ultimate Faves Pro...didn't work so well).
Anyone working on something...?

Theres not much that the devs can do without the source code. You can go to the Samsung Open Source site and see the 2.1 source is posted but there won't be anything for 2.2 until it gets officially released.
Even when you put TouchWiz30LAuncher.apk on the phone, the widget chooser still is not present. I've tried transferring over the widget .apks and placing them in system/apps with no luck. If anyone knows which file is the widget chooser, it would certainly help the cause. For reference, I've been extracting files from the the JH7_OTA.zip file that's on here somewhere.
Hi!
I'm very new to the Galaxy S (i9000) forum, I had a T-mobile Pulse before so i'm not new to android. And here is my question, is it somehow possible to install Buddies now widget on Darky's V8.1 rom. I searched the i9000 forum for it but the only topic I found for buddies now is this one. I hope i asked at the right place.
Hello from Croatia!
Ok, so I've been a big Launcher Pro fan for the past few months now after using the original ADW launcher previously on my N1. Anyway, still cruise the Nexus forums (still have my N1 and love it!) and saw a vid posted a few days back of a crazy new ADW launcher due for release and guess what, it's here and it's on another level compared to anything we have had before. I bet the guys at SPB shell are in bits right now as there whole USP just got trumped.
Just been playing with the configuration options for the last 40mins and it seems that I'm still at the tip of the iceberg. Some of the 3D effects are just stunning.
Anyway it's over at AndroidPit and obviously on the market.
http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/org.adwfreak.launcher/ADWLauncher-EX
Check it out ASAP, there is a video link on the market/pit link.
Regards.
Just installed and I'm starting to mess around with it but wow!
There's menus in menus in menus.....
There's a lot of options :O

Thanks for posting, I noticed this on the market and wasn't sure what the deal was!

Pretty nice!
Not lots of extras but still pretty nice. From what he's written on his website there is plenty more to come

I really liked ADW.Launcher, but in the end I found Launcher Pro to be faster on my DHD and ended up using that. Any comments yet on how fast the new ADW is?

That's one of the reasons I switched over, as LP was always the faster launcher, but the new EX version is blazing. The most appealing part is the 3D home screen transitions, which once again are blazingly fast. The only things which have slowed it down are buggy widgets. I do miss the LP widgets but have still got the old Pure widgets which are a great replacement and highly customizable.
Overall I'm very impressed with this revision of ADW.
Regards.
I find the home screen transitions very fast too, I still think the app drawer is a bit laggy though, which is where Launcher Pro has always had the upper hand for me speed wise, but I love the catalogs on ADW.
i might try this after i get bored with CM7 and the default launcher

Good to know, thanks. I'll have to give it a try.
Can't we use all the widgets like eg. the clock from sense in adw also ?
I can't figure out how to anyway...
I think the new adw ex is fantastic, but without the widgets, using it make no sense
But on eg. my S/E X10 it would be great I think.

Sense widgets only work on Sense. I don't mind at all though because aosp may not be as pretty but out sure is fast.
This new launcher is awesome. It's like adw on steroids. It's a pity I just purchased Launcher Pro. That app is good but seems kind of stagnant, development wise.
Nice widgets but you can't even rearrange the home screens which is annoying if you want to add more screens and keep the one with the clock in the centre.
Sent from my Gingerbread eating Desire HD.
Great app after buying adw launcher all that time ago and just brought launcher ex wow just so great. Its nice to see new animation come with it. Just make you're home screen come alive a bit more
I think that what first got my attention. With sense and the weather animation just add a bit of life to your phone.

Look for a similar one on the market, Beautiful Widgets might be your thing.
I like this one: SiMi Clock.
Ok I know everyone is asking about the sense clock widget on this launcher but we have good reason to ask this, cuz when you look in the market at this app and u look at the screenshots provided, it looks like they are using the sense clock! I am using beautiful widgets and I have looked for one that looks similar but they all still don't look as good as the sense clock. So I'm curious myself if it is the sense clock or did they find a sweet skin that's looks identical to the sense clock?
That's because they're probably using Fancy Widget.
The old version was an exact copy of HTC Flip Clock, so HTC made them remove it. Unfortunately the new version you can now find on the Market is different and doesn't look as good.
I'll add a Dropbox link later if I still have the original apk at on my home PC (at work right now).
You should also be able to find it here on XDA if you're good at using the search function
Has anyone tried using new themes with EX? I'm finding that launcher graphics don't line up in this version when they worked fine in the CM version of ADW. Not sure if the spec for themes has changed?

That'd be sick dude!! i find myself undecided and switching back and forth between Sense and adw b/c i love the flip clock with the animated weather forecast and whatnot
Loving the new launcher too (was a bit sceptical at first since Launcher Pro was faster than the original ADW Launcher)....but this one is fast and 'fancy' with all its animations!
Does anyone know a way we can have custom dock backgrounds like in Launcher Pro? It’s the only thing I miss!

Here's the old Fancy Widget (the one that's a Sense copy) for anyone who wants it:

I didnt really know about this app till a week ago i've been using widget locker and its actually pretty neat if you like to customize your phone outside motorolas limits.
Amazon app store has it for .99 and android market has it for $1.99.
The battery life seems to stay the same it does run constantly but in a weeks time i cant tell any battery difference. Hope you guys enjoy the app!!!
Widgetlocker is one of my favorite apps! I wish I had known about it when I was flip-flopping between htc & rotary lockscreens on my DInc.
Another of my favorites, coming from an htc phone, is fancy widgets. I can't live without a big flip clock on my home screen.
And now you have full support and resources for it, courtesy of the devs and the Android Themes forum waaaaay above us. =)

Widget locker is great. I recently switched to Hidden Lock which to me is even better.
