I know it was kind of a gimmick but 1 thing I miss about my old EVO is the weather animations that were on your screen after unlocking the phone. Not the weather wallpaper like they use now but the 1 that did it on top of whatever wallpaper you used. Is it possible to implement this on one of the 4.3 Sense roms? I would love to see it back.
Also, adding full transparency to the dock and weather clock widgets would be quite lovely.
And lastly, can more panels be added? I like to use widgets for everything so maybe making it possible to use up to 7 would be cool.
Please let me know what you think and if anyone would be willing.
All you Devs kick ass and I'm grateful for your work! Keep it up! I'll donate when I can!

It may not be exactly what you're looking for but...
For the Weather Animations and Transparency for clock widget: Beautiful Widgets + animation add-on
Transparent dock and adding more panels can be done with pretty much any 3rd party launcher (Nova, Apex, ADW, etc)

there are animations on the lockscreen (not very exciting but there) and as for trans dock what rom? and for trans weather widget how much trans(flips and panel ?)
I've been looking at the aftermath and badboy roms. The weather clock widget I'd like to see pretty much everything transparent except the weather icon.
alxrock I downloaded beautiful widgets and that actually works good! Thanks!

Glad to hear it worked good for you.
For the weather clock widget, are you looking for the 4x1 or 4x2 flip clock style?
I used HD Widgets for the 4x2 flip clock when I had my GNex and it has a bunch of customization options. (No flip animation though.
I attached a couple of examples of the more transparent options HD widgets has to offer.

You can use 420s Aftermath 2.2 if you want more screens(up to 7) their app drawer and drop down are semi trans.
Xposed installer and Sense 5 toolbox will give you more transparency options if you want.
As far as trans widgets, someone may make one for you if yiu ask the right person. dased offerd, and he is a master of that sort of thing. I too miss a few things, mine is the 4x2 weather widget. Guess theres some things we just learn to live without.

Get Beautiful Widgets Pro. It has TONS of different weather/clock widgets and it has the full screen weather animation. It's pretty close to the old Sense stuff.
Related
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

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!
I can't seem to get beautiful widget to display the skins. I would love to get one of those htc looking clocks or any other visual stunning widgets.(I'm a sucker for sleek looking widgets and don't mind paying for quality.) I'm currently using launcher pro and all I get with beautiful widgets is a crappy grey square with a clock. If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or suggest something I would love the help.
Thanks
try going into launcher pro and setting your columns and rows to 7 and then hold on the widget to allow you to adjust the size of the widget with launcher pro and make it a little bigger or whatever you want.

Had that problem after installing B5.1. Went into Titanium and cleared data on BW and all is well now.
I don't know if anyone has noticed the weather widget on the new Galaxy S2 but I think it's very clean looking. I'm wondering if there is anything in the market yet that has that design with a clock as well. Yeah I know there are a **** load of clock and weather widgets out there but I wanted to see if anyone has one that's similar or if someone out there could develop one for all of us. I'll attach a picture of it for everyone. Thanks for the help!

not possible unless somebody makes a mimic of it.
its like saying i want the HTC Sense Clock Widget, you can't pull it out of there because it requires the HTC Sense framework. Only way is to create a mimic of it (Fancy Widget's H7C)
Also there is no dump of Android 2.3.X TouchWiz. Best bet would be to create a skin with that idea in mind for Beautiful Widgets/Fancy Widgets
^ unfortunately that's the truth. Other solution is miui released their weather widget. Its available in this themes and apps section for the nexus s. Download the cwm.zip and flash through clockwork. It has two Widgets one that resembles sense and the other resembles somewhat the one you posted. Hope this helps.

I believe the only option is to port Touchwiz over. Similar to the HTC Sense clock, you need the whole rosie framework to get it to work.
Yeah I'm just settling for a theme for Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget. Thing I hate about Fancy Widget is the battery drain when I use it.

Well battery drain might be a slight exaggeration, but I did notice slightly less battery life when using fancy widget. I use Beautiful Widgets full time and noticed battery life is better.

Any news about this?

Did anyone ever find a S2 widget for our Captivates?
here you go
http://www.accuweather.com/downloads.asp
I hope it (S2 weather widget) could be tweaked to work on other frameworks/phones too?
Because some stuff from my Xperia Arc was already made possible for other phones Eg. Sony Panorma camera, Arc Launcher etc.
I can only use it with TW 4...
The best widget of GS2 is the touchwiz calendar....
The weather widget you can download at Accuweather. The clock widget is attached.
Does this require flashing? Root access to use?

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

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.
Are there any decent weather apps out there that work properly with the note's huge 720p screen?
Reason I ask this is because after recently using my personal favourite weather app (beautiful weather) it only takes up a part of the screen and looks ugly.
It has not been updated to stretch and make use of the note's screen.
The note comes preinstalled with accuweather but I do not like it's interface & when looking at the temperatures of other countries it's all over the place.
Any good recommended weather apps made specially for the note or at least take up the whole width of the screen?
Eye candy is a must have, something good looking like beautiful weather.

HTC Sense style weather
Coming from 9 years of HTC devices, I am quite attached to the Sense Weather Clock.
Fancy Widgets has the best app that works well and puts waether and time on the homescreen and links to the stock clock.
There are many other skins included than the Sense one in Fancy Widgets.
How about Beautiful Widgets? I'm using it myself (on my DHD) and it works and looks (after some theming) awesome.
I think it's free at Getjar, but it may have been a "app of the day" thing when i got it.
Beweather is also good.. it also has HTC like or even better animations of the weather when u tap them..
P.S- its free at get jar too..
Thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated.
I think the best looking weather app I've seen posted here was the Fancy Widgets which I will try.
BazookaAce recommended beautiful widgets which is great and I've tried.
Problem with beautiful widgets is that it's made for devices which are 800x400, which is what you have.
As the Galaxy note is 1280x800 it does not stretch in full screen and looks horrible.

The launcher has to support it. Its a launcher and not a widget feature. Currently Zeam, ADW (Ex?), Launcher Pro (Plus) and Go Launcher Ex support widget resizing, there are maybe more, dont know.
