Been searching and am unable to find out if anyone knows how, or if it's even possible at all.... to alter the flip clock file to not show weather info. My weather through Accuweather is very badly off. I know you can do it through some widget style apps, but the few I've tried seemed laggy and killed the feel. If the HTC flip clock (.apk?) could be made to not have any weather info below it, it would still be fast since it's a straight from phone process, and still look cool....if not cooler. Just wondering. Imagine this clock without weather.

Hey guys. I'm running Aloysius V12 and have been using Beautiful Widgets. Love the look and it's fairly reliable as far as the time/date/weather go, but whenever I plug my phone into the computer, the style reverts to stock. I am very particular about the way it looks, because the way I have it now looks quite good with my wallpaper, but when it reverts, it doesn't match up well. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things since I just have to restart the widget, but curious to see if anyone knows why the USB plug-in would make any difference. I have had this issue on BW 2.998 and 2.999. As a side note, does anyone know how to change the date font? Changing the clock font has no bearing on it, and neither do weather skins. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful widgets says, in its own documentation, that it doesn't work with SenseUI.
This is partially true. It works, sometimes, and for a while. my buddy has a small widget on his home screen that he has no troubles with, but I've used the brightness widget, a home screen one, and others.
I've had Sense randomly force close on me (MANY MANY times), when tapping the widget (or sometimes for seemingly no reason at all - presumably when the widget updates), and so on and so forth.
They 'Work', but they aren't reliable, that I've seen. I haven't used them since like 2.7 or so.
That's odd that the font changes when plugging it in.
I've been to their site a couple of times, but guess I didn't run across that. I asked this same question on android forums and the response had to deal with BW skins are saved on the sd card and once it is plugged in, then it doesn't have access to them anymore. I'm not sure if this is the exact reason, but makes as much sense as anything else I've thought of. Too bad it's not more reliable because the only competition that I have seen is Weather Widget donate. I don't have anything particularly against that one, but just can't customize it get the look I am going for...
When I had the regular evo, a few developers created clear clock with clear background widgets so of you had a wall paper the clock would not hide it. I've been searching and dont see anything like that for the evo 3d does anyone know of there is one available?
here is a link to some of the example i am refering to, on of the Developers " Slayer" made some really cool ones for the evo 4 g

Thanks for the help and reply, the only thing about that widget is that the clock has a black base and i'm looking for all clear. Hopefully one will turn up and or i may try my hand and it and post one. Thanks again
Ask the dev. Who made glass theme if her can change the clock for you I'm sure he will

The app retro clock widget is free on the market and has a skin that is completely clear and also looks almost exactly like the stock clock.

I love the stock news and weather widget from AOSP(genie widget), but it sometimes doesn't work right. I have it set to refresh every hour, but it rarely does. When I manually refresh it the location is almost always off, on the second refresh the location does update. Anyone else see these problems? I'm using CM7 nightlies on an Incredible. It may be an incredible thing, I'm not sure because it seemed to work better on my Eris.
I know everyone will recommend their favorite weather widget, but honestly I've tried a lot(including wasting money on beautiful widgets) and never found one I liked. If there is one that can give me news, automatic location updates, a temp graph(the hardest part), transparent widget and doesn't kill the battery I would love it.
thanks,
I have an Inspire 4G and I'm having the same issue. I also like this widget a lot, but unless I have it set to 1 hour refresh, the weather doesn't update. I have tried Minimalistic Text and it's great, but it does not have the temperature graphs like you're looking for.
Thanks for the response, at least I'm not alone.

They all say "flip", "HT3" or "sense" but do they actually flip? The beautiful widget ones don't and alot of the other ones I found don't. I gave up looking after being duped a couple dozen times.
Pretty sure that HTC has copyrighted the flipping animation, so other clocks aren't allowed to used it. Legally, at least.
Here you go, sense 4.0 clock widget but without flipping, really nice and resizeable, kinda like fancy widget, got it here in xda somewhere.
To whoever installs this make sure you start with an empty screen or you'll get the no more room message, even though the clock doesn't take up the whole screen, the widget does. Once you apply it just resize the empty areas of the widget, it installed full screen for me but I resized it 5 by 3.

That one doesn't work in TW as it's designed for landscape and keeps saying out of room even on an empty screen. Works fine in Go Launcher but there are better ones out there for sure. Thanks all the same.
Found one in in Google play and the clock flips and you can change the colour, how it flips and whatnot. Downside is $1.97. Here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sgolovanov.GSFlipClockWallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNnb2xvdmFub3YuR1NGbGlwQ2xvY2tXYWxscGFwZXIiXQ..

I love the super clock in have but I wonder if either beautiful widgets has a clock with the numbers that flip (like old clocks)
If not anyone knows where I can get a clock like that? I show a pic of my home screen hopefully I can get something similar but with the flipping animation, thanks

If you mean just the retro digital clock where the numbers flip (but animation is minimal, it's more the way it looks), then beautiful widgets has them. They came out primarily with HTC models when Gingerbread had just been released.
If you open the skins tab in BW superclock settings and select tab (don't know which one, but it accesses the skin/share exchange or whatever). You can tell it's the right page because each skin will state how many times it's been downloaded.
For the skin you are looking for, you may have to scroll down for a bit (and let the app load more choices) since this skin debuted maybe 18 months ago or more. But I know the basic black and a bunch of others like it are there. Look for the keyword "gingerbread" or just "ginger"...that might help.

are u talking about this type of clock, see attach?
i have beautiful widgets and i downloaded this skin to show you if this is what your looking for.
No...That's not it. Close though.. it looks like the HTC standard clock.
Here is a version of it. (I don't think any of these are the actual stock HTC clock since that was part of HTC's own desk clock/alarm, and not Beautiful Widgets.
You can tell it's the retro one because of the recessed middle which, if this was an analog clock, was attached to the "hinge" allowing the top portion to fall down revealing the next number.
This clock was actually under "featured skins" and I didn't have to scroll at all as it was on the first page.

ah i get u.
they have those kind of clocks in beautiful widgets. u would be able to download the skin called "sense v4.1" and a bunch of other versions of the clock with the 'recessed' line.
Thanks bro, I really love the look of them but I'm looking for the full animation, I would really like if it would actually flip every time it changes. Suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-I717M using xda app-developers app
If I recall the discussions correctly from my old HTC phone, beautiful widgets used to have the animations like the Sense widget, however they were ordered to remove them as it infringed on copyrights HTC had on the animation. Or something like that. So, you wont get the animations exactly like the sense widget unless you have an HTC Sense phone. I believe the Miui Roms have the flip animations on one of their clocks, maybe they have a skin to make it look like the Sense widget.
I think the animation is pretty close. It's not like BW designers were copying something original like a new design. It's a 35 year old clock.. I will have to look up that dispute. Or at least I will launch my HTC clock and see if it is any different BW.
