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!
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 know it's tied to three launcher framework so I believe the only option would be to create a theme. Anyone up for it LOL?

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.

guys any1 with Samsung Galaxy S2 weather widget ???
Any news about this?
I want this weather widget for use in defy
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 does have a lot of animations and stuff, but it's not for me.

Very interesting. Runs smooth on the Epic. One thing I really like about this one is that the pages/workspaces aren't compartmentalized. In other words you can put a button or a widget literally anywhere on the page rather than within the confines of the 4 x 5 grid (or whatever yours is set up as). There are hidden workspaces that are brought up by tapping out a code in the corners of the screens. The hidden workspace is a secondary collection of three additional workspaces...all ready for you to customize and hide.
Every time I try to change the wallpaper to something from my gallery the Media Scanner starts...that's annoying, but may not be a "Regina" thing as my phone is heavily modded. Once I finally did get to my gallery to change the wallpaper...guess what! Each workspace can have it OWN wallpaper! No kidding! Nice little surprise there.
Transitions are sweet, widgets are ok. I think the weather widget may be useless to many as the cities available appear limited, and you have to install add-ons to get it to work properly.
If you are intrigued by the SPB 3D launcher, you'll really like this one. It's a pretty giant step above SPB, and free. I can't wait to see how far they take this one.
Nice, i like it. its kindof like spb shell but its free! hah it has some good widgets and some good features. kind of slow but i think i might try it out for a day or two

I tried it and didn't like it. It's better then SPB (imo) but ultimately it doesn't do anything better, smoother or easier to use then what I already have on ADW EX. Sometimes it would be difficult to swipe between screens quickly which was annoying, the weather widget is pretty much useless, no widget resizing (I use desktop visualizer a lot for pics), and I didn't care for the style of app drawer. YMMV though.

Actually, widget size can be resized on some by clicking the little "i" button. I agree the app drawer is lame; the weather widget needs work (doesn't even have Chicago!). But give it some time. It doesn't even have a v1.0 yet.

I had to play around with the weather, but I finally got Charleston WV in there. If I can find that, then Chicago should be there. Im really liking it so far. Used Spare Parts to change animations to fast and its awesome. Love how you can have a different wallpaper for each screen, and also four private workspaces. It takes a little bit to figure out, but I am really impressed. You can also remove the weather and clock and use your beautiful widgets or whatever clock/weather that you normally use. Now if I can figure out a way to edit the icons or they fix that, I will be really impressed.

Guys. If you need to find your city and it's not in the list, simply go to Settings for the Clock & Weather Widget, click "Add Custom City", and type in your ZIP Code. The clock becomes a bit funky but after a bit of messing around, you should be able to get it to run nicely.

I was thinking the same thing as I was setting up my home screens in Spanish Class. Chi-Town represent!
No one has put yet that you can scroll through "workspaces" with the dock by dragging it left or right. Press home or pinch-to-zoom out to look at the sense style overview, then hold on a screen to go into add/delete screen mode. And there was something else that I can't remember right now lol.

I just downloaded this, and I like it so far. I like the clean look and feel to it. I have LP+ and will try this out for a couple of days to see it I like it.
I did find Green Bay in the weather, but after I set the weather to GB, the clock time is way off.

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.

I use Beautiful Widgets and Go Launcher EX does a great job of re-sizing the widgets. I have setup my grid 5 wide and 6 high and the only problem now is finding enough widgets to fill the screens.

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.

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.

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)

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.
