What weather apps/widgets are you guys using?
Ive been using palmary weather but the thing never seems to actually update itself, only if i do so manually. Trouble is i really like the look of it. So im trying to find a weather widget, preferably one available in 2x2 size that actually updates.
Any suggestions?
I bought beautiful widgets. It's well worth the money.

Weather forecast widget has been my choice for a long time. Just switched to beautiful Widgets but I'm only so-so with it

Anyone know how to get HTC widgets available & working with either the Helix Launcher or LaucherPro? I'm specifically looking to get the Calendar, Weather & Flip Clock with Weather widgets working
cheers

Interested in this as well.
Seems it's impossible to use HTC Widgets with any launcher app - shame

Well. There is a few widgets that looks like sence ones.
Wether Forecast has a flipklock that looks just like the sence one. Works perfect. (not in market anymore beacuse some argument with htc..)
Pure Grid Calendar works just fine and looks somewhat near the sence one. I use the android calendar widget/Astrid and prefer these two.
All the once you cant fint in market- register at ppcwarez.org and serch there forum. Almoast anything worth it you can find there

there's some alternatives to the HTC widgets in the market. I use Smooth Calendar it's a 4x1 widget. for the filp clock checkout Weather Forecast&Clock widget. If you have paid app you could also get Beautiful Widgets it's one dollar.
In my experience you want to use Sense as little as possible to keep you phone running as fast as possible.
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 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

Hi there!
I've tried googling but I can't seem to find anything. I'm wondering if there are Sense weather widgets available WITHOUT the flip clock. I hate the flip clock. HTC has a strange fetish for clocks that I don't quite understand. A digital clock in Roboto font in the upper right corner is absolutely adequate.
Can I kang the widgets from another ROM? There are only 3 weather widgets included in the Rezound stock and ICS Sense ROMs.
I have Fancy Widget Pro, but I also use the Sense weather lockscreen, so it's a bit redundant to be using up 2 resources for the same thing.
Oh forgot to mention. There is 1 weather widget that doesn't have a clock, but it's a massive 4x4 widget. Bleh. I'm aiming for 4x1 or maybe 4x2 ...
Well there aren't any that are strictly sense but Beautiful Widgets (market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sZXZlbHVwLmJlYXV0aWZ1bHdpZGdldHMiXQ..) and WMD-Weather (market.android.com/details?id=soft.wmd.wmdweather&feature=search_result) are pretty nice. I personally really like Beautiful Widgets but it does cost a couple dollars.
Hope this is somewhat helpful.
BTW there is a WMD-Weather Lite for free.
Hello guys,
I'm looking for this Weather Widget, an online friend of mine has a LG Maximo 2x with this widget (see attachment, since I can't publish outside link because I'm a recent user)
This is the animation that opens when she tap the widget on me phone desktop.
She told me this is Accuweather version, but I can't find it . (maybe it isn't accuweather, I only know what she told me).
This app also allows sharing with social networks.
I would really like to find it. Please help me.
:fingers-crossed:
It is accuweather, since it displays RealFeel temperature, which is a trademark of accuweather. However, it is different than the accuweather widget we have for touchwiz. It is probably specific to whatever framework the LG phones use.
Nifty little widget there. Me likie.

This is the Accuweather widget, as stated above, but there is a difference between this widget and the widget that comes pre-installed on your S2. The pre-installed widget takes up half the screen and does virtually nothing if you press it. The widget in your picture is available after you download the "Accuweather for Android" app from Google Play.
After you have installed that app, add the plain Accuweather widget to whatever screen you want (!!!not the Accuweather.COM widget!!!) and you should have a very similar, if not identical, widget to what your friend has.
Keep in mind, though, that the picture you posted will only show up after you press the widget for more details. The actual widget is very small and has no animation.
I have AccuWeather for Android installed and that is definitely NOT the widget from it.
It has two, and neither one is the one in that screenshot. Its got the original dark grey 4x1 widget and a new, rather ugly and seriously battery killing, 4x2 with the weather and a clock.
As said, its probably a custom version done for LG just like Samsung has their own.
Not sure what you expect the stock TW AccuWeather widget to do when you touch it. It opens up the Samsung AccuWeather app just fine for me, just like the one from the Play Store opens its respective app.

The only one Accuweather for Android that appears on the GooglePlay is that Accuweather.com (wich is ugly, its the black one with no animation at all).
I really can't find that Accueweather for Android.
The imagem attached is the Accuweather for Android.
Hmm
Well I have the GoWeather Ex widget that is pretty similar to that one, maybe you should try that one out buddy.
