I can't decide which one to buy. I have fancy widget now and I would like weather animations like sense. What ones better? How does fancy widget pro compare too?

I think Beautiful Widgets has a free version so you could check it out. I have the paid version and when checking the weather it is autoated but not in the clock mode that shows weather. They also have some weather live wallpapers that are weather related.

Gotta say Beautiful Widgets takes the cake, much more advanced imo. It is also very moddable, plenty themes you can use on it to fit the style of your overall phone. Definitely worth the money
Thanks guys. Will try out beautiful widgets

There is nothing to be compared to Sense Weather. But I think, Beautiful Widgets tries that the best way I have seen.
Fancy widget uses your chosen weather skin in the animated forecast whereas Beautiful wgt uses the stock skin no matter what skin you are using (last time i looked).
I buy beautiful widget and working well.But i found it drain my battery,Ist i use live wallpaper to check i moved to normal wallpaer and only set current weather widget but this time again battery drain.After that i removed all beautiful widgets from home screen and now workng well.You chkd ur self in battery use when u set beautiful widget it shows more batry consumed by android system and when there is no widget it shows less.
I don't have this issue with Beautiful Widgets.
I don't notice any more battery consumption using Beautiful Widgets

In search of a pure Weather only Widget...I like the Weather portion of Beautiful Home Weather, but do not need the clock option - does anyone know how to disable to clock or an application with only the weather portion....
Weatherbug Elite has a nice widget that displays weather which is what I use.
The Weather Channel... they have three to four types of widgets available
Try snow storm from the market

i use "Weather Widget - Free" by Android Apps. it supports different skins / themes and it can display a single weather icon with temp. i bought beautiful widgets, but prefer this app.
I use Beautiful Widgets BUT DO NOT USE THE WIDGET.
You can go to the options and have the temp show in your notification bar. That way when you click on it you get the cool animations and forecast/current weather from BW, but you get all the space on your home page by not using the widget... kinda the best of both worlds.
I never understood needed a clock widget... utterly pointless in my not so humble opinion.

link doesnt work anymore since HTC sent a C&D letter to get it pulled from the market. there are ways in obtaining it, go google it
I was wondering how do i get the battery meter and how do i get my lock screen to spell out everything like the date,time,battery life etc? do i have to mod my phone? or is there another way to do it.
Any info would be great thanks.
LOL! Never seen them before!
Battstat, tajm and the lockscreen is probably widget locker...
That lockscreen looks like the epic lockscreen, both of the most used custom ROMS being Frakintwiz and Bionix both have 4 lockscreens to choose from, but if you want to go stock then the best option is to buy widget locker, I use it, love it you can do many things with it, and have widgets on it. The weather is from beautiful widget by the looks of it. both are paid apps in the market.
BattStat and tajm are the battery and clock widgets on the lockscreen. Not exactly sure on the lockscreen but my best guess would be widget locker with the single unlock button. Weather widget looks like GenieWidget but with a transparent background.

again battstatt is the text battery meter, free btw.
Widget locker is the lockscreen, you can add custom backgrounds, slider locks, widgets, and shortcuts to your lockscreen, Beautiful widgets would be the weather/time widget your seeing on the screen.
that Bg is pretty sweet i need to find that.
I take it back beautiful widgets is not that weather widget.
this is what mine looks like.
Does anyone know where i can get a clock widget that looks closest to the htc sense one?
Search XDA for Fancy Widget. Looks exactly the same. Also, there's an app in the market called beautiful widgets. In this program you can select from a list of clock widgets. A few are similar to the sense clock and you can customize it a little more. You have to buy the app though.
Weather Widget & Flip Clock with the H7C themes...
i dont want it with the clock. just pure weather.
I use the weather widget in the beautiful widgets app. Gives you alot of skin options as well as sizes and very good animations.
seems like a battery killer with all those things. Anything similar, but simpler?
Try the stock Android weather widget posted here:

that pretty much hit the spot.

This is even better then aix weather, which isn't developed any longer. It has long term prediction and additional weather information like wind, pressure, cloudiness:

Donate version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.inet.rainwidget.donate
Widget Picker is an app that Romanbb exposed me to. It is extremely small in size, but does wonders for Type A's like me.
Below is a video to demonstrate what I mean.
If you want it included in a ROM, let the developer know.
If you want to just download it and move to system/app like I did in the video (you see how easy it is)... you can go to THIS THREAD
Nice one, I've been looking for something like this! Will install it when I get the chance
Thanks!
Confirmed working, thanks a lot for this!
(Galaxy Task v10)
Thank you
Downloading now

The video makes shows it very nicely.
Basically, it groups widgets up, so instead of having something like this when you add widgets:
ASUS Weather Widget
Beautiful Battery 1x1
Beautiful Home Weather
Beautiful Smaller Home Weather
Beautiful SuperClock 2x1
Beautiful SuperClock 4x1
Beautiful SuperClock 4x2
...
Beautiful Weather 1x1
Beautiful Weather 4x1
Bookmarks
It would look something like this:
ASUS Weather Widget
Beautiful widgets (14 widgets)
Bookmarks
So it groups up the same types of widgets, making it easier to search through them.
Watch the video to see exactly what I mean...
