[Index] [Weather widget] Guide of weather & clock widgets - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Everybody likes weather & clock widgets, so I was thinking of making a small guide of different weather widgets here on Xperia forum. I hope it will be easier for you now to choose a nice weather widget for your phone.
Enjoy!
You can also post your screenshots of weather widgets here, so people can see and choose which one they like.
Ps. I will add more weather widgets later and pictures of weather main screen, but now I must go to school/college.

Good job

Guys, i found a nice weather app but it only works with TSF Shell, is there a way to get that TSF Weather working on stock rom without the tsf shell?

A good weather app.

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.
Thanks

^^^ 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.

what app/widget is this one? looks clean enough. right now im using the weather channel app

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...

Curious how many keep the big flip clock on home screen ?

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.

+1 for Fancy Widget Pro, but I use the 4X2 widget with battery % and no background most of the time. Once in a while I use the G-Tab Simi clock for a change.

I used to like it but prefer the simplistic style of Clockr...great app.

Fancy Widget Pro, got it free on Amazon 1 day. Great little app.

Xperia ARC/ ARC S Desktop Visualizer Customized Icon (Updated 12.17.11)

Hello,
I believe most of you are well aware of DESKTOP Visualizer application. It's a brilliant app that gives the liberty to customize icon in your Android device.
Well I have made few icons (image based) for this DVR app. All these fits and works well in Xperia ARC and ARC S.
Hope you guys might like it.

As you can see above that all the icons are placed in different screens and you can easily access them with Widget Overview option.
Currently I have included ICONS, based on following widget size of Desktop Visualizer.
Size: 4x1 :: 2x1 :: 2x2 :: 1x1
Later I will upload more!!
Download Icons:
View attachment Icon.zip
Desktop Visualizer v1.2.7 is available in the android market. So, please search and download if you do not have it already.
Download & Install DVR v1.2.7.
On Desktop, open widget option.
Select your desired size (use above mentioned size for now)
select icons from your gallery.
Keep labels if you want. ( i prefer blank, because it looks good)
Press Ok and you are done.
Have Fun & Happy Themeing!!
UPDATE 12/17/11
Please find the following Updates of the Icon Pack. Should work well with DESKTOP Visualizer in ARC and ARC S.
Icon fits within following widget size: 4x1 :: 2x1 :: 2x2 ::
** Icons made for 2x2 widgets will also work on 1x1 size.

Hi, Please use icons according to mentioned size only for now. Then it should work. I have named all the icons according to the widget size of DVR.

You can find the resolution size by checking the image properties of the icon.
Example: 4x1 widget contains an image of 960*260 pixel.

Awesome
Where can I find the resolutions for 1x1. 2x1.......
Would really appreciate it

- Added Playstore links (Go Launcher Only Currently)

Great iconset, thank you very much!
I finally found a clean a consistent bunch of icons for my dock.
Weird issue: applying icons to dock with go launcher caused a jagged resize. I had to rescale the icon myself to my native hdpi resolution (72x72).

looks very childish
but nice

Thx for those cool little icons =) Btw can u create icons for root explorer, play store, Mx player, Facebook messenger, ASTRO FILE MANAGER and Contacts

I like these, very much. Are you still updating them?

Its a shame almost 3 months goes by without any word from the op. And the link doesn't even work. Thanks a lot op. Good job. Wtg.

Did the op still updating these? I see he charges for them now and all the free links are gone =/ but they havent been updated since he started to charge?

is there anyway to still get these icons? love the look of them but all the links are dead.

I wish this guy would update the set...

yea, best icons out there, too bad he doesn't update them anymore
