On my old HTC Tilt 2 I had an animated weather part on my home page that updated automatically.
What app can I get to have this type setup? Free is preferred.
GO Weather is what I'm using, sounds like what you'd like. Widget, lock screen and/or live wallpaper.
This appears to be the one I want. How do I get it to replace the one on my home page?
I'm on GO Launcher, so not sure if TouchWiz is the same, but if you want to swap widgets, a long press on the existing should give you an option to delete. Then menu-->add-->widget should give you a menu option of GO Widget, where you'll find weather.
Try 1 or both of these...

Beautiful live weather is a live wallpaper, You can set your own background picture and just use whatever clock etc you have on top of it

I have tried the ones mentioned, but have not found the one I want. The one I had with my old phone would show rain and windshield wipers if it was raining and wind if it was windy, etc.
Are there any like this out there? It also would automatically update the temperature every so many minutes.
Beautiful Weather has the options for unlock animations which looks pretty sweet.
HTC sense 3.5 4.0
I assume your last phone was HTC with sense 3.0 or 3.5 sadly there isn't any company that does software like HTC does alot of companies try but just can't get it exactly like HTC so your out of luck there. Beautiful weather is as close as it gets to what your looking for. HTC does best software lacks in hardware and displays. Samsung does best in Displays and hardware software they leave that to app developers unless it's Bada . Motorola ok software good hardware ok displays software may get alot better now that Google owns them we'll see. Sony pretty good software, last years hardware, ok displays. I wish we could get HTC sense on Sammy phones it would be sick. Oh this is all my opinion so please don't flame too much.
I tried Beautiful Weather, but it would not take my location which is Dallas, Texas. When I did the auto it came up with New York.
There is a Sense app, so I may try it.
I am also hoping to get an app that will automatically pick up the local weather wherever I am. For example if I am in New Orleans, it would show New Orleans weather plus what locations I have saved.

Weather bug elite is pretty decent and stays upto date with just about everything weather wise. Nothing really compares to sense.
I like beweather and I got it for free from getjar
What you describe with windsheild wipers, rain, etc. is on my wife's Android, I believe as a live wallpaper. She's had hers for over a year so its been out a while.
Do you know what app it is?
I just checked, it is a HTC phone, not sure where/how that setting is made - it appears on top of her personal wallpaper.

Thanks for mentioning Zedge. I was up 'til 4 in the morning goofing around with wallpapers. So much for being well rested!
wallbase.net is a good site for Wallpapers. They're all different sizes but if I like one I'll take the 5 seconds to resize it properly in PS. Also interfacelift, but I think everyone knows about that site.
I'm kinda bummed that I have a year's worth of VGA wallpapers collected and now I need to change sizes. Oh well.

I'm having trouble finding high quality wallpapers. Even if the resolution is 960x800 or higher the quality of the image itself may look jaggy when set as wallpaper.look at the preloaded wallpaper and it is crisp and clear and almost pops out of the screen, but all the "hd"wallpapers I have downloaded so far are not very crisp like the preloaded wallpaper once set as such. I'd like a black theme wallpaper too to take advantage of the supposed battery life increase.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
so I downloaded a couple wallpapers in 960x800 size. When I go in to set them as my wp it makes me select a cropped area and makes the wp look like crap. How do I make the entire image my wp?
By look like crap you mean it looks too zoomed in?

Yeah it was all blurry. I figured out how to properly crop though. I kept trying to pinch to zoom, but then I tried dragging one of the borders and it resized it properly. Looks good now.
On the app market search for "Backgrounds," it has a large amounts of wallpapers to select from.

I have a small collection of mostly "babe" walls here:

Me and a few friends all share a secondary dummy Gmail account on our android phones. Picasa is the only option set to sync on the phone, as such we can all dump wallpapers to this Picasa account and they will show up on all of our phones in the gallery. Its a pretty neat trick and one gigabyte of free space is plenty enough room for quite a few wallpapers.
Most of the galleries are 1920x1082 images, but they look great once cropped.
The first gallery is one of my favorite current artists, Audrey Kawasaki. These images are meant to be used with alternate launcher apps like ADW, that allow you to turn off wallpaper scrolling. If you hide the status bar in ADW with one of these images selected it will give your screen a nice rounded look.

The others are all random, mostly high res wallpaper.

My boss just got a brand new android phone and i cant remember what it is, but one of his stock apps he can put on the home screen and it shows a flip clock and the weather, but if its raining outside wipers cross the screen and stuff like that. is there a program i can get for the vibrant that will do the same thing?? I dont really care if the clock is there I just want the weather thing.
U should check out beautiful widgets in the market. Its a couple dollars but its really nice and customizable.

When you click on the weather from the widget BW DOES have animations like what you are describing.
It is the most downloaded paid app for a reason... try it out.
also try weather and toggle widget. its free in the market. you have to download the weather addon so you can see the effects you're talkin about
Beautiful widgets has the unlock weather animations now too.. Its neeto. Lol
its an HTC exclusive apk you can find in a Legend or Eris ROM there used to be a widget in the market called FancyWidget which was an exact replica minus the animation but HTC complained and thus was removed. if you dl an old legend or eris rom you can pull the apk thats what i did and its running great on my vibrant though no weather animation but it is free and in my opinion just as good if not better than beautiful widget or any other paid app in the market. if you want it PM me and i'll point you in the right direction
here is a pic of what it looks like thats with launcher pro not mine but a good example

thanks! i just downloaded and so far i agree
The guys who are ripping and sharing stuff from Sense roms be careful. HTC is very protective of it's IP. You might find yourself on the nasty end of a C&D.
Weather & Toggle Widgets does the exact same type of animations as Sense's Flip Clock (the rain/windshield wipers and such). Beautiful Widgets does something similar, but not the exact same type of animations. Both widgets are skinnable and both have tons of very nice skins available for them. I'd use one of those instead (yes they're pay-ware, but both are worth it, I own both).
Is this like the Flip Clock on the HD2? Would there be any way to port that onto the vibrant?
If your phone supports it, you might want to get the Live wallpaper for Beautiful Weather. Not a must, but looks nice.
Does anybody have problems with a bunch of the clock skins not fitting right?

Do you have the screen resolution upped with the LCD Density Changer app?
If so, Beautiful Widgets Home doesn't play well with higher density.....so I had to go get Weather Widget from the market...it's similar, also paid, but it will center properly on a higher density resolution
I am a recent android convert, and wasn't a decent weather app. I am coming from bb and used berryweather. I entry my home location to be found via gps and update at regular intervals. But I also wasn't to have a bunch of cities saved to scroll through.

^^^ 1st of all, welcome to the Android World.
I have beautiful widgets which is pretty cool.
It has a weather widget which shows the weather like the one on HTC Phones.
Just Google it, Yahoo it or Bing it.
I'm quite happy using the GenieWidget.apk pulled from the nexus one, this gives you 3 widget options to add to your homescreen, news, weather, and news with weather combined.
cheers,

Beautiful Widgets coalited with The Weather Channel works great.
another BW fan here!
I like weatherbug elite...it does what you are describing!
Beautiful Widgets for me, great app and very customizable.
Fancy Widgets... all the way mate.. it looks amazing and its free
since you're on ur XDA app ... maybe this link will take you to the Market... market://details?id=com.fancywidget.androidClick here
weatherbug elite is nice, i dot use widgets but when i open the app it shows a lot of info. they have a free version.
Before I switched to this vibrant I had a 9700 bold and I used berryweather. The home screen thing was neat, and there is nothing exactly like it, but Weatherbug Elite does alot more, the radar is much much better, but you can't customize it like Berry weather. I love in Berry weather , it showed an arrow which way the storms were going, that was nice, but android is 1000% better then 'the industry standard" blackberry.... haha
i like stock froyo news/weather app/widgets
In terms of raw info, weather data, and speed of map data, I have found My-Cast to be the very best. It's clearly the best on the iOS platform, but on Android, while presenting almost as much info, isn't nearly as refined - it's simply another animal altogether, but still very good. I love to scroll through the weather maps.

How about "The Weather Channel"
+1 Beautiful widgets! yeah you have to pay. but i think its hands down the prettiest UI.
I use the free WeatherBug app. It now has an animated radar so you can see where the storms are moving. This one and Tide Prediction are my two favorite apps that I use while boating in South Florida.

That's stock Froyo app/widget which comes with news also. It pulls data from weather channel and has by hour forcast too. I think its the best
For a simple 1x4 widget (other formats are available), I'm pretty happy with the uncreatively-named "Weather Forecast Widgets v2" by Francois Deslandes.
I like a simple weather/temp list for the next several days, and it can be easily configured that way. You can select NOAA or Google servers (I find Google to be more accurate, which is kind of lame when you think about it...)
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.koxx.forecast_weather.v2/
Still, I'm going to give Animated Weather a shot, it looks pretty cool...
Weather and toggle widgets on the market. The clocks and weather are customizable and the animations are great. There are so many ways to change it to your aesthetic preference.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Is anyone else experiencing this on their phones? When clicking Beautiful Widgets that would normally launch say Alarm & Clocks from hitting the time, or Calender from hitting the date, or the weather from hitting the weather, it doesn't launch - or takes multiple presses to launch? Anywhere else on the screen I touch will respond, just the BW area doesn't. BW recently had an update via Market, so I'm not sure if this bug is new. I've reached out to the developer, but have yet to heard from him, and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this too...
I was just curious how many people keep the standard HTC flip clock with weather on their home screen by default ?
I used to like it on my EVO 4G the first couple of months, but then got sick of the HUGE numbers, made me feel like an old man with such a big clock on my screen, and changed to Beautiful widgets clock instead, I run some custom clock skin, and custom weather, to give me that all black and white look. I wish we could make the HTC flip clock smaller, the big one makes me feel like I am blind, and need large granny numbers to see it.
Opinions ?
I like the clock but it takes up too much screen real estate. I'd rather have another row of widget space.

I agree, if it could be shrunk down just a tad smaller, and allow for 1 row of a news widget below it, would be perfect.
I currently run a clear engadget news ticker under my beautiful Widget clock. I transferred this APK, from my EVO 4G, and it works perfectly, just like the stock engadget news ticker, expect with no border, and it's transparent background.
with the clock and current widget size their is more than enough room for a third row of apps, if they just shift them down slightly and take away the app name it would be perfect, leave the name in the app drawer but we all know what the icons do by now it's not like we need to read the name on the any of the home screens

Would be perfect if I could have three rows below the big clock. One for a news ticker running right below the clock, and then two rows for app icons.
I love the clock, I've always left it there on all my HTC phones. I like a clean home page so there's only my Handcent and K-9 mail icons other than the clock. I like the left page also so I leave that intact and then add a couple icons to the right page.
I always use it...kinda why I could never get into non-Sense ROMs.
Really old screenshot from the EVO, but multicon was/is my best friend...unfortunately it doesn't look quite as good on the 3D.

I use fancy widget pro. Clock and weather on one row.
I don't use it. I have a clock on the notification bar and one thing I hate is redundancy. I leave my main homescreen blank so I can look at my wallpaper and each page is themed. One for media like music and youtube widgets, one for messages, one for social etc.

Fancy Widget Pro, got it free on Amazon 1 day. Great little app.
Hey guys, did some searching and could not find the answer.
Im coming from a Motorola Milestone and just got the Evo 3D last night. On my milestone I used beautiful widgets as a 'Super Clock'. This app was able to get my current location and specify the weather accordingly. The stock clock widget on the Evo does not do this though. I have tried turning GPS, sync and everything else on, I have checked all settings I can find.
Is there anyway of syncing the stock clock/weather widget with my current location?
I like some features of the stock one, thats why I dont want to just use Beautiful Widgets.
Thanks guys,

As I said, I am using the Stock weather clock. All that shows up beside the weather is "Ontario" Yes I am in Ontario, but thats a pretty big place. I want it to sync to my GPS location.
click on the weather portion of the clock to bring up the forecast and such, the click your menu button, press add, then search for your specific city or area and it should gove you weather for that place you select.

A city is a city, and weather is an estimation, at best. It sounds like it is tracking you just fine. To get any better weather you will have to walk outside.
EDIT: could be a Canada thing too... Maybe it is limited by how far north you are.

The problem was it was focused on ONTARIO, that's a pretty huge estimation IMO.
A Canada thing? How north I am? I am more south then a good number of Americans. Dont think my Igloo stops GPS that much!
I got it to work after deleting the widget and adding it again then deleting all added cities and just leaving it over night, it finally synced with my location after about 8 hours.
