[Q] Weather and Clock widgets - G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps

Which is the coolest and most beautiful weather and clock widget there is for a home screen? Please post your weather and clock widgets.

Beatufil widgets and Weather Widget Donate are 2 that everyone uses. Both are in the market, both are skinable and highly customizable.
Good luck

Weather Widget
I would have to say that Beautiful Widget is by far the best. Has a huge variety of clock and weather skins that can be downloaded from the app itself and also has a weather animation when you go to the forcast that is somewhat like Sense. Well worth the $2.

Fancy widget is awesome

A quick search on the market doesn't really come with anything called "fancy widget," could you be a bit more specific?

Not free. I purchased this one when I first got an android handset because I really wanted the sense clock.

I like the beautiful widget app. Has clock, weather and other widgets. Its always best to support the developers and buy from the markets, especially if you go to 4shared.com and download them for free.

is there any good LIVE Weather Annimated Wallpapers?

is there any good LIVE Weather Annimated Wallpapers?
I dunno about live wallpapers but Sense 3.0 ROMS have a pretty sweet weather lockscreen animation. Works well to satisfy the craving for pretty looking weather goodies.

Go weather. It's pretty cool. I think it is better than the htc weather clock.

I think the HTC animated weather is much better.. smooth .. clean .. no lag..
but that is also just a weather app that pops up at start and then goes away which is nice .. but am looking for a really good live weather wallpaper..
the go weather is a very good app same as be weather .. be weather does not have a live wallpaper.. Boo...
Go weather has one .. but it doesnt seem to work very well.. maybe that is the problem.. it requires too much system power and memory to run one properly..
I'm not having any issues with go weather. Our phones are branded with different roms so we are going to experience different issues.

Try weatherbug it has live radar walpaper.
Correct, Weather Bug Elite has a superb live wallpaper.

"weather and toggle" on the market has some cool stuff but you have to pay like 1.50 for it.

GetJar has the full version of Beautiful Widgets for free. And you can get the weather live wallpaper for free from the Android Market.
go weather for backgrounds, yes
i'm partial to fancy widgets myself.

Sense Friendstream type Widget

I am looking for a Friendstream like widget which works on stock ICS now scrollable widgets are enabled. It needs to be a 4x4 Widget that can aggregate at least both Twitter and Facebook into one stream and has an option to update now on the widget itself.
Sonet is the best I have found so far, before I buy the adfree version I'd just like some other recommendations.
Thanks,
Inq
Launcherpro plus has a similar widget

Aye I bought Launcher Pro Plus a long while back, but I want to use the stock launcher.
The paid version of Colorize widget in the market has a widget called timeline which I believe us the same thing as the friend stream widget on sense.

You can try WIZZ - it`s designed for tablets, but also works on ICS
https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbm93YmVlLmNvbG9yaXplLmhkIl0.
Also Android Pro Widgets are great, and the paid version has plenty of Themes.
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZHIud2lkZ2V0cy5jb3JlIl0.
Both offer way more, then only Facebook widgets and allow a unified (sense like) look with their variety of widgets. Nothing to do with Facebook, but works nice together with the other widgets.
Nice complentary stuff also is offered by Glass widgets (nice for Home screen)

Default Weather Widget - Shortcut Change?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the shortcut for the default S3 weather widget? Instead of it directing you to Accuweather, I would prefer that it opens up Weatherbug.
Why don't you just place the weather bug widget on your screen instead of the stock one?

Thanks ... I would use the weather bug widget, but it doesn't have the clock built in. I also considered using Fancy Widgets which is similar to the HTC interface ... I just liked the way the stock one looked and was hoping there was a way.

Yeah would be nice also if you touched the clock it would take you to your alarm or other alarm app and when you touch the weather it would open whatever weather app you wanted. One thing i miss about HTC is there widgets nothing else compared IMO
Hd Widgets isn't like the stock clock widget but it's highly customizable and 2 set ups look like the sense clocks. From the original evo is one and the other is from the new Evo 4G lte
Also weather services include accuweather, weather bug, and weather underground. I've made posts about changing the provider on the stock clocks and usually don't get a reply saying someone knows how so I just use a 3rd party one
thanks look good keep up great work
Thanks for the follow up ... I am going to check out HD Widgets ... it looks similar to the version included on the EVO
I use it and love it. You will not be disappointed.
I am using it now and agree ... very very cool!!

[Q] Transparent Stock Weather Widget For LGOG

I'm new but not really new to xda. Was wondering if any of the brilliant minds are working on making the stock JVB weather widget transparent or other options like fancy widgets does. Tried using the fancy widgets app but dosent work well on my phone since jumping from OGEVO to LGOG. Thanks in advance. And great work guys.
Beautiful Widgets is my go to for weather widgets. Thousands of themes to choose from.

Thanks for the reply
Another suggestion is the WeatherBug app. The widgets it comes with are nice. They can be clear too.
I usually just stick my head out of the window while driving.
Admittedly, this does not forecast the weather for me all that well, but I'm a live in the moment kind of guy.
In all seriousness though, Eye In The Sky has been my favorite weather widget to date.
