Beautiful Widgets beta - Xoom Themes and Apps

I just installed it and is working great with no force close. Here's the link.

What's the difference to the version that was/is available in the market? It recognized my purchase and I assume it handled it as an update!?!?
EDIT: It always force-closes when I try to go to the weather details. Most likely the animation package needs to be updated as well. Otherwise it seems OK

It works perfectly for me with the animation and everything. Make sure you go into settings -> Advanced and turn off the animation transition to weather details. Without this on it works flawlessly. I love it!!
I love the full screen animations but my favorite is the notification that shows temp and weather which you can have refresh on wake-up regardless of the interval. Just sweet.

Works nice! Thanks for the tip. They really made it more appealing!
Just one note: Do NOT go in the market and install the apparently available update; this will revert to the 3.4 version! I did that by accident and had to reinstall the beta. Make sure to turn off the autoupdate function.

so we have any screenshots for this? whats different? I have beautiful widgets installed from the market on my xoom running already.

Any way to make this weather icons larger. It is way too small for the tablet screen.

Can't set location without it force closing hence is not usable with X10a

The only difference is an extra widget for tablets 4x3 and the settings look like honeycomb. I haven't had any force close so far. Look really nice

I also noticed the weather details screen (with forecast) to be different. The icons are larger and it has Honeycomb menu at the top.

My beta expired, any solutions to this? tried reinstalling but no go.

Same here, the Market version is still 3.4 so not sure what they're doing. I tweeted levelupstudio but haven't gotten a response. Can you try emailing them or contacting them on twitter? I'm guessing we'll either get a new beta or they'll push 3.5 to the Market.

Got an response from levelupstudio - there's no new beta planned but they're targeting releasing 3.5 to Market in the next few days so I guess we'll have to live without for a bit.

Yeah I'll drop them a note

Great Live Wallpaper Clock!

I just found this app, this is perfect for AMOLED screens. Looks great too.
This is not my app, just like to share it. Also the clock being wider than the screen is BY DESIGN, I like it, just like the ZuneHD/Windows Phone 7 UI.
Full Version, 69 cents:

Lite Free version:

That does look nice. But 69 cents? I thought the lowest it could get for developers was 99 cents? Well, whatever.
It's now showing on the 2.3.1 because I emailed the author regarding the Market issue, and he took off copy protection soon after.
Is there any way to disable the clock on the lock screen? It would look much better

I'm wondering the same thing, lock screen clock gets in the way.
Can you change font size and the order the time and date are in? Curious before I buy.
I can see why but the free version is very limited so I can't really get a feel for if I'll like the paid version. Of course I could just try it I suppose, thanks to the 24hr refund policy
just bought it, it is only 69 cents. very cheap but looks great.
I'm worried about the battery drain. While it seems to not do as much depleting as other live wallpapers, my battery usage seems to be dropping faster than I'm normally used to. After a full night's charge, by the end of the work day (5 PM), with moderate use, I have roughly 50% or so left, give or take. It's currently 4 oclock and my battery is at 37%.
How is everyone else' experience with this wallpaper and battery?

Full version is updated with more options and better battery life optimization. And promise of weather info in the next update. Good wallpaper just got greater.
With the new update the time is not centered and I'm not really a fan of the bounce animation. Wish I could go back to 1.3.2 version.
nice concept, but... it's an aweful waste of space in the home screen real state
you have to sacrifice like 3 rows of icons to be able to see the time & date properly
i'll hard to integrate into any theme design
i'll stick to Fancy Widget for time + date + weather
Yes

Download widget locker from market. It basically adds another home screen for your lock screen that you can add/remove widgets (stock clock) to your liking. I use this anyways because it gives you access to your notification bar without having to unlock your phone and gives you many many more unlock options. It also gives you different slider options if you want to keep the feel stock or change it up.

I agree. The good news is, according to the developer's website, he plans to re-center the clock in the next update.

Swype

EMAIL me if you interested in trying a black or blue themed swype.
(if you are having problems with it not composing an email correct you can hover or right click the link.)
more colors will come as needed
Go to my swype link in my sig for more screen shots of colors to come. These will all be converted to TB soon enough.

SCREENSHOTS
Also:
to avoid the htc pop up when selecting a word to change in swype. Instead of tapping the word twice, only tap inside the word, then tap the swype icon to bring up the word choice window.
Original images for mine were based of previous swypes made by Bilbobrian
I hope it does, cuz I registered my last phone on swype beta...
If it comes preloaded there is no need to worry about all the swype beta stuff. Plus it allows everyone who is going to make full themes able to include themes for swype also.
the htc evo had an update to include swype so Im almost positive that the thunderbolt will... I mean the dam my touch slide has swype stock
Just picked one up.....oddly...no swype!

Why is it odd? It was never advertised to have it @[email protected]
Has HTC ever launched a phone with it? Seems like they make a deal with swype later in the game.
anyhow.. as much as it sucks that they didnt include it... wont stop everyone from having it.
I need to reset up my dropbox it seems. I have an apk that might work, was built for the inc, but since the inc has the same resolution it shouldnt be a problem.
Anyone wanna try it out? send me a pm or email.
Also if anyone was part of the old beta, and still has the apk on your old phone, try installing it on the TB, if it works could you send it my way, I could make a few themed apks from it.
I wont beable to post direct links to the themed apks, cause that would be warez ... but I'll do what I can.
open Beta
The beta is open get in while you can!
https://beta.swype.com/
Im already part of the beta, but im still on the X and it wont download to my phone, because i cant get past the DISABLE SWYPE part
I installed the Swype Beta and it appears to not insert spaces automatically in the Sense SMS app. Emails works fine.
Kind of a deal breaker for me, since I liketohavespacesinmysentences.
Check you settings in swype make sure the spaces option is endless

It's enabled because it works fine in the email app.
I also noticed the same thing in sense sms, I use handcent anyway. I was able to enable the beta on both my fascinate and tb.
i hope that its a bug that can be fixed. i actually like the sense apps. damn cant wait till they root the phone and we can get android 2.3 on here.. native SIP calling over 4G will be awesome
No Swype
Picked my Thunderbolt up this morning and I will say 4G-LTE is DAMN FAST.
Phone didn't come with Swype but the beta is still open to the public and I just went and installed it and it's working just fine.
Seems the auto-spacing and auto-capitalization is definitely a bug on the Thunderbolt as well.
It actually was advertised and Verizon covered up the swype on the display with DLNA stickers.

BW works great already. The full screen home and weather widget is beautiful. Makes me confident this could be even better.
Looks like their site or twitter is having server issues. I will be trying again soon.

it doesnt work that great.. on stock it stretches across the whole screen and clock looks like #$#$#
on vegan.. you can resize and it is somewhat better but still not great.
Hmm. I guess Im not as picky. I really thought it did an excellent job and looks good. The whether animations even look great.
link working again.. think it was just heavily hit
It works great in landscape, but in portrait, resizing looks weird.
Works great for me. It always has. I saved the apk from HTC Evo and have been using it for a while now. Does what i want it to do so im satisfied

installed this, I don't really see much of a difference between this tablet optimized version and the one from market,

Wow...how did you get the big weather icons. For some reason all the weather widgets show real small weather icons. How do I fix it so it shows up bigger? Thx
I use the Beautiful Home Weather widget (not the one with Smaller). It will initially stretch wider, but with LP, you press and hold the widget and a resizing outline will appear. I sized it to fit in that corner. I'm using the standard skin with Hide Background checked.

I'm new to Widgets. Are you adding the Clock, Date and Weather widgets separately?
No, if you purchase Beautiful Widgets, there is a single widget (though there are several widgets included with your purchase) called Beautiful Home Weather that contains all 3 of those things in your list of widgets. There are some free alternatives people can point you to, but I prefer BW.

I'm guessing that's not included with this free beta version. When I try to choose the Beautiful Home Weather Widget, it just goes to the settings.

No problem here, logged in and validated account fine. Nice update
Just started using it and looks great so far. Excited to see what seesmic does as it is my default client of choice on my phone. Androidcentral.com had a preview of it and looks to be very similar to plume
great find, finally a decent scrollable twitter widget for my xoom.
I just knew plume would nail it. Love it on my phone, have been tolerating it on my xoom before now. Now my tablet experience is 1 major step closer to complete.
They did a great job with this. I Love it on my evo as well
I like Plume overall but for some reason it doesn't refresh like it is supposed to. I have it set to refresh every 30 minutes and sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Dang, I've always loved Touiteur. Excited to try this!

IMO this beta of plume just set the standard for twitter clients for honeycomb. Its the first in its class. It not only has a beautiful functional interface but it also has a great set of functional widgets. It's too bad for tweetcomb because that developer had the ability to create one of the best twitter clients for honeycomb but he lacked a widget. With one beta from levelupstudios they have pretty much won the battle.
Great job levelupstudios.
they literally lifted up one leg and pissed on EVERY twitter app out there. I am pissed i bought tweetcomb now. FML

+1. I bought Tweetcomb in the morning after reading Droidlife's review, then later that same day found out about the plume beta. I'm also pissed they changed the app return policy to 15 minutes, but that's another beast.......

What I did was, uninstall ALL versions of the application (even the premium key apk), reboot your tablet, then install the Beta, open it, login. Then re-download the premium key from the market and it will work..
I have been using it since then. Works like a charm. Widget is perfect too.
Plume Update in market! HC Support.
I guess it is out of beta.
What's New
What's in this version:
2.5
Honeycomb tablet support with optimized interface, black theme, lot of small improvements and bugfixes, hide avatars, saved searches

[THEME] [19 Sep] MIUI for UberMusic

Hi,
Here's my MIUI skin for Fede's UberMusic.
I've made quite a lot of changes from the skin template in line with the overall feel of MIUI, and allowed for full-width album art display.
Included are a 4x1 widget, and alternative landscape layouts.
To change the colour of the tabs, go to the Settings screen inside UberMusic, and change the accent colour to your favourite.
Download v1
Changelog
Final v1
- Much improved scrolling performance
- Added 4x1 widget
- Improved HVGA support
- Tab colour now follows accent colour (Thanks to TheGrammarFreak's suggestion)
beta2
minor tweak to now playing screen for HVGA

For those interested in some old experimental skins, here's a YouTube-inspired version

I have used your skins on a Super AMOLED (Fascinate) but just got a BIONIC & would love to have more UberMusic skin options .... supposedly the BIONIC has qHD display, but the other 50% say its pentile display (or is it somehow possible to be both, idfk ... ?)
I have spent the last few days trying to get this beast as 'customized' as I possibly can considering its 'newness' - going from CM7 ~> MIUI ~> STOCK MotoBlur (actually LauncherPro Plus/MotoBlur now) really makes me itch for some development in ANY/EVERY possible aspect !!!
LMK, if you want me to try anything else ... keep up the great work !
I love Fede's work/apps & will do my best to KEEP IT "THE BEST"

As far as I know, you can have both, pentile/non pentile concerns only sub-pixels iirc.
I would indeed appreciate some testers with qHD devices, the Bionic is one of them
Would you mind posting a screenshot of the 'now playing' screen from your device if possible? If not, does the album art stretch to fill the width in the above skin? I'm using 320dip for width and I'm not sure if it appears correctly for qHD devices.
Thanks!

Widget skins are not included at the moment, still working on them. I plan to release a 4x1 with the final version here, and another version onto the market for those who would want other Widgets.
Works great on my HTC Legend. I love the style, but I'm not a fan of orange. Is it possible to make the tabs at the top follow the colour in the "highlights" section of the UberMusic settings?
