[Q] What do you use for a weather widget? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Since the accuweather one is exploitable (and not that great imho), what does everyone use? I'm looking for something that is 4x1.

I use beautiful widgets, gives you the option for a clock weather 4x1 and a weather 4x1

Had anyone tried beweather? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bellshare.beweather

I run beweather for my status bar temp because the pro version allows me to pick specific weather stations. However I use the simi clock widget for a home screen weather widget...and I have click on simi launch weatherbug because it has a nice hourly forecast.

Yup. Ben using beweather since my blackberry days. I think it is the most professional looking widget. Highly recommended.

3D digital weather clock as a widget and weather app to drill down.
I won't support Weather Underground !

Fancy Widgets. Was my very first app and still my favorite.

Just curious. If accuweather doesn't drain battery anymore than the others why would I care what they do with it. Ive been usinv it since day 1. It has been great. I set the location manually though is that the difference

+1 Beautiful Widgets here, lets you customize the clock, weather image placement etc.

BeWeather Pro is free from GetJar right now. I'm using it. They supposedly have very accurate info. Looks good with the transparent background on unnamed with the ICS theme.

I use weatherbug elite.

goweather. Ive tried some of the others like fancy widgets and beautiful widgets... they were alright. the reason why they drain your battery so much is because they 1) wake up your phone every so often 2) use your data 3) and the kicker.... uses gps
but i havent seen battery drain with goweather

Where'd you find the theme? Can't seem to locate it.

Go Weather is good for me, and totally free. No battery drain for me although I set to check weather every 12 hours.

BeWeather Pro is free at GetJar and is pretty cool to look at and has pretty good customization. I am wondering how it affects the battery though. Any comments on that?

beautiful widgets, you can pick between accuweather and google for the weather service. and themes and all that other jazz

I enjoy Beautiful Widgets. It isnt as big as the one above but if thats something you want you can use minimalistic text to do it.
If your looking for a straight weather widget take a look at Palmary weather pro.
I'm using HD Widgets but I wish they would have the option to open the Weatherbug app instead of the Web site.

Star Wars is on Spike HD all the time. I personally refuse to give Lucas another dime till he releases the original cut to the blu-ray. Not a fanboy, just prefer them.
But as far as the op, I like the Asus weather widget except I live in a town with a long name so I had my location going halfway across my screen. Beweather was really nice when I tried the beta, just really liked all the options for HD widgets. I think I change the theme to my homescreens at least once a week, so hd widgets works with all of them.

^^GoLocker ICS Lockscreen Theme

Pretty good idea for a thread. I like seeing everyone's favorite Widgets and apps. Not to mention, I'm pretty anal about my screens and spend too much time f'ing around to make them perfect.... So showing them off is excellent.
I'm using the ICS theme for Go and the standard lock screen (which I love due to the quick launchers). I also threw in my system management screen because I consider it to be a thing of relitive beauty.

Share your LOCKSCREEN Widget locker etc...

I know we have a share your home screen. Do we have a share your lockscreen? While others lock screens may be simple i like to tinker with mine. Why have one slide to unlock when you can have 3! With a slide to unlock directly to XDA Here's mine. I just exchanged my Note last night for another so i still have to tinker around and get my wallpapers and widgets back etc. Especially my ICS themed icons! But here is a start.
I dunno how i feel about that clock widget. I can't see it, the font is too small LOL
EDIT: Damn i just noticed, i said 3 slides to unlock. Its actually 6! You can go left and right!

Its widget locker. You click on the actual app to customize your lock screen. Long press on stuff to edit, move, resize etc. There are so many different options on what you can do from a HTC sense slide to unlock to iPhone, YUCK lol. You can add widgets, icons, just about anything.

Anyone using Saurom and GoLocker succesfully? Those two don't seem to play well together. Even when selecting No Lockscreen with JKAY the default Samsung one pops up still so I have to unlock the phone twice =P After uninstalling GoLocker the JKAY No Lockscreen option works properly. The JKAY options far out weigh GoLocker for me although this White ICS GoLocker theme is pretty cool.

Widget Locker with a combination of widgets set to overlap in the settings.
The ICS unlock comes with Widget Locker as well as the digital clock. I placed a 1x1 Fancy Widget under the digital clock then re sized the analog (Custom Clock Widget) clock over the two.
How are you finding WidgetLocker working on the Note? I'm hesitant to bother with it (even though I paid for it on previous phones), because of issues I've had with it not blocking the stock lock screen and allowing you to pull down the notification bar.

Weather widget?

Does anyone know of a nice, classy weather widget that looks/ plays nice with ICS? I'm open to suggestions but most specifically I saw the Sense 4.0 weather/clock imitation but I don't know what it is/ who made it
Fancy Widgets, Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets are some of the popular ones.
Beautiful widget is free on GetJar.
I use both 1weather and aix weather.
1weather has a classy looking widget which gives general details. Whereas aix gives an hourly overview of both temperature and rainfall which is surprisingly accurate.
Both free on the play store.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
thanks so much everyone. I've seen beautiful widgets and the like ( HD widgets is new to me, looks nice though) There is just so much on the Play Store and other places is hard to find everything
Just to let everyone know in my personal experience HD widgets is not working. Everytime I drop the widget onto the homescreen it crashes. Trebuchet w/ CM9.
I am using HD widgets on AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova launcher and they work great. However I have read in another thread somewhere that it wasn't playing nice with CM9...but it could be launcher related...

I've been using Fancy Widgets since I had my captivate, and it's been awesome. Also, no problems since I've been on ICS. The only reason I haven't tried Beautiful Widgets is because I had already paid for the Fancy Widgets Unlocker, but they seem pretty similar.

i don't know about programing or coding.
When i install circle widget, it said ok. Choose widget, still ok. But when the widget is loaded, it said that widget can not working in 3-party launcher. I just thought that may be someone can bypass the warning, or make it working with all launcher.
It requires the motorola atrix hd launcher to work, theres a thread somewhere on xda but it won't work on other launchers. Seen a few look-alike UCCW widget skins though
Its works for me GREAT ...

Ya...great until you add the four shortcuts to the dock area and find out the icons are cut off.
Yep would of been nice to see a port to the common launchers as One more clock & other themed clock options fall well short of the Motorola widget
