On Screen Animated Weather Effects Widget? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there one that just adds the special effects? I'm already using Elecont Weather Clock and like it a lot but want the special on screen effects, like HTC Sense has.

Beautiful Widgets, however you will have to download the animated weather addon (which is free), and turn it on through options.

3rd Party Launchers with HTC Widgets?

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.

Seeking Weather Widget

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.

Beautiful widgets or weather and toggle?

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

[APP / VIDEO] Widget Picker - Please include in ROMs

Widget Picker is an app that Romanbb exposed me to. It is extremely small in size, but does wonders for Type A's like me.
Below is a video to demonstrate what I mean.
If you want it included in a ROM, let the developer know.
If you want to just download it and move to system/app like I did in the video (you see how easy it is)... you can go to THIS THREAD
Nice one, I've been looking for something like this! Will install it when I get the chance
Thanks!
Confirmed working, thanks a lot for this!
(Galaxy Task v10)
Thank you
Downloading now

can you add an explanation to the OP about what this does that's different (and improved) from what's built in?

The video makes shows it very nicely.
Basically, it groups widgets up, so instead of having something like this when you add widgets:
ASUS Weather Widget
Beautiful Battery 1x1
Beautiful Home Weather
Beautiful Smaller Home Weather
Beautiful SuperClock 2x1
Beautiful SuperClock 4x1
Beautiful SuperClock 4x2
...
Beautiful Weather 1x1
Beautiful Weather 4x1
Bookmarks
It would look something like this:
ASUS Weather Widget
Beautiful widgets (14 widgets)
Bookmarks
So it groups up the same types of widgets, making it easier to search through them.
Watch the video to see exactly what I mean...

A must... Should be in every ROM.
Just so people know, this app/mod works with the CM9 ICS ROMs available on here!

[Q] Animated weather widget?!

Is there any animated weather widget for android? Tomorrow I'm gonna see a friend who always b***hes at me with his iPhone and I'd like to show off an animated widget.
Here's a video with an animated widget from the Sony Xperia S!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csegdS6WDoM @ Minute 4:50
I've asked before how could I get this widget in my Galaxy S2 but someone said they need to have Sony's framework in order to get this to work.
Anyway I want to know if there's an animated widget for homescreen.
Thanks in advance.
What about go weather?

It isn't animated D:
All HTC Sense has it. Since you're not on HTC, try Beautiful Widgets and its add-on, BW Animation Package. Personally I like HTC's way better, and the new version also has sound effects. B-)
Check out be weather. Not free but the animations are the best out

I used beautiful widgets for a long time on my htc desire and about a month with my sensation. It's nice to see but exhausts so much battery
Now I'm using the built-in Sense Weather again (with syncing manually) and all is fine again.
Maybe "Animated Weather Widget, Clock" would be an alternative.
BeWeather pro has some good weather animations as does beautiful Widgets.
