I have tried numerous clock and/or weather widgets and they are not keeping the time synced. Usually it freezes after my phone has experienced a couple hours of inactivity. The only one that works is the stock HTC widget but as its known, it's hideous and I prefer something transparent. I'm not rooted or modded in any way and am just wondering if there is a fix for this.

have you tried Fancy widgets or Beautiful widgets?

If your looking for a fully customizable clock, weather, settings widget for your tablets check out this app. It's 99 cents on the market. It is perfect because I customize my homescreen every couple of days when I get bored with it. Check it out.

Here are some pics, many different options, colors and themes.
Thanks, I've been wondering when something like this would be developed.
You can make the background of these widgets transparent right?
Yep you can just brought it and looks great very easy to customise all aspects thanks for the tip to op

yes, every widget size has an option for transparent, black, white, grey, blue, glass, green, red and a few others. I loved the Asus weather widget but hated the very large location wording, I live in a town with a large name so the widget took up half my screen. I just love how many different ways you can customize this widget to go with any theme or wallpaper.
Pretty good app, especially for .99!

Bought it, love it.
I found two bugs in it yesterday emailed the devs and update was released today which fixed it and they replied via email vey quickly so well worth the small price they are asking

another vote for this application
i bought .. provided some suggestions to devs and already received an email response ... excellent customer support
Widget "HD tablet Half Page" 4x7 shortcut: tap the date not open calendar.
Just wish it had better clock selection. I hates me a stylized "LED" digital clock, and what I hates worse than a stylized "LED" digital clock is a Sense-looking flip clock, and for right now, those are the only choices.
Just give me plain numbers please, no faking of ancient technology on a modern high-resolution LCD.
This thread sold me. Bought it and love it as well.

Is that app panel in the Jets picture part of the widgets pack or is that something else?

Looks like the Launcher Pro bookmark widget
I'm using the launcher adw ex and that is one of the task bars. I just swipe down and it goes away. Swipe down again and it comes back. It's wonderful!
The bookmarks widget is a free widget called android pro widget. It is all the launcher pros Widgets just seperate so I can use them on adw ex.

Can anyone recommend a good lockscreen that will display upcoming calendar events? It also needs to have good battery life and preferably have a launcher to launch sms when you have one like the stock lockscreen.

AGILE LOCK! Mimics to an extent the htc sense lockscreen.
I'm a huge fan of it. While it doesn't 'hide' the text message option, and 'show' it with new text. It does allow for fast access to 4 apps of your choice, and it enables accessing the pull down status drawer (open new text messages) with the lock screen still active.
And for calender it allows you to use any widget of your choice. Here's mine:

Hands down one of the things I like the most in terms of usability.

How is battery life? My biggest concern is always battery life.
Thanks.

Widget Locker is also an option.

I second this, also smooth calendar is nice and clean.
Agile lock uses very little battery. Never noticed the difference.
Some have reported widget locker as causing battery drain issues but I think it's more likely it was app conflicts causing it. My wife's atrix has run a number of roms and never had a battery issue from widget locker. She really likes it.

I use Widget Locker. however, as with the GO Launcher widget issues when you reboot the NT, Widget Locker's widgets get a bit messed up. Would putting the app in system/apps solve the issue?
How the hell did you pur widgets on WL!!?? Every time i try if Force close, the only widget i have is the one with date and time (the default one).

This is a good question. Same issue here.
I'm using widget locker with honeycomb theme and was wondering if there is a way to replace the stock lock screen with this one due to a few force closes making it revert to stock lock screen.

I used MagiLocker for a little while, but it seemed a little laggy to me.

I use WidgetLocket too with the ICS theme, and haven't had it force close once. It has worked perfectly for me so far. Maybe trying reinstalling it? Are you rooted or running mostly stock?
I'n rooted running adw ex with the snowball mod. I was wantint to replae stock lockscreen and not just have an overlay. Just seems like it would run better.

I find that with both widget locker and go launcher, that even if I have links to the apps copied to the system/app folder, my clock widget (fancy widget) loses the skin definition and needs to be reapplied.
Otherwise, things work fine.
Do you think putting a link to fancy widget in system/app would fix the clock skin issue?
Don't know if this would work but on my phone I use NoLock to disable the stock and Go Locker as a replacement. Might be worth a try.
There is a setting in the widget locker settings to disable stock lock screen. Can't remember where it is right now in the settings tho.
As far as the widgets disappearing after reboot, I have the same issue and haven't found a way to fix it yet.

If you want them not to lose configuration you have to move them from datt/app
to system/app and there you should give them full permissions. That has solved my problem with widgets in Go launcher
The beautiful widgets weather widget keeps changing its icons/skin to the default one upon rebooting. Is there any way to fix this? It's extremely annoying. Cheers.
