Hi Guys,
Thought I would start a dedicated thread for sharing widgets we may develop for use with SPB MS 3.0 (now that its officially out!!!).
Here are some ideas for widgets that can be developed imo -
1. Flip Clock (like TF3D)
2. Slideshow widget
3. Media player widget (linking to other music apps such as Coreplayer)
4. Stocks widget
5. Calendar widget (linking to third party PIMs)
Please help!!!
spb ms3 widgets
Very good idea !
Hope that skinners will be at this "rendez-vous".
would be useful a widget for change activesync, mystorage, storage card connection (like wireless widget)
Can these kind of widgets actually be made? I looked at the XML and supplied widgets of SPB, and they all seem to direct to classes in the compiled program.
Perhaps i'm missing something. What I really miss is tasks on your 'lifestyle' screen. I hope it can somehow be made, but atm I don't see how.
What I like to see is an SMS viewer like in TF3D. I don't like to open the MS Inbox every time, when I have a new message.
I'd prefer a RSS widget. I don't get, why they haven't at least integrated SPB Insight...
I'd like to see a Post-it Notes type of widget. Also, it would be cool if you can change the swipe up/down function to open the launcher or contacts screen (or anything else). I have no use for the professional layout because I can basically re-create it in the lifestyle screen.
A Flexmail widget is what i would like to see
They dont have an intgration with SPD time - stop watch ??? Why not?
You can only get one day on the weather, even if you have SPD weather ?
I hate the bottom screen contacts and launcher stuff - total waste of screen space.
And why would you want to see all the available screens (bottom left buttom) ?
It looks nice, but I prefer their standalone softwear. Much more control and functionality.
I would like to have a memory indicator
anyone knows how t do it?

Well, maybe if you tried integrating with their own suite of SPB applications, instead of whatever this SPD stuff is, it might work better?
I seem to have 4 days worth of weather forecasts perfectly fine, here...
i really would like to have a TF3D flip clock that acutally flips.
has any one found that yet??
please i've looking for a while.
can anyone make a cab to add the my location weather thouch flo tab into the tilt 2 stock rom?
I dont think it can be done. It is coded in the manila itself. You just need to flash to a better stock ROM with weather in home screen!
This is the very thing that prompted me to flash a ROM other than the stock AT&T ROM.
AT&T ROM worked so well I didn't what to mess with it, but having the weather clock proved too tempting. So far so good. I love having the weather clock and the weather wallpaper scroll across my home screen.
I went with At0mAng's ATT ROM. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568233
So far so good. It is fairly light on app. I just added the one I wanted and am good to go for now.
Curious.... can you just install that version of manila or is it so integrated with the ROM to make that option impossible?
i'm not talking about the weather on the clock, thats cool but not what i want.
i'm just talking about the weather tab being able to find my local weather instead of adding to a list of cities
The "My Location" feature on the Weather tab is also a feature of that Manila version as well (I think).

Got ya... At least in the ROM I'm using that local weather in the tab and the clock are the same. If it tap the clock weather it takes me to the tab.

Same thing! Weather comes in different Manila package, so you have to install a ROM that has that Manila.

you can enable the "my location" feature in the registry but i'm not sure if it works since it needs some package such HTC GeoService and GoogleLocation. HKU/Software/HTC/Manila/Weather.EnableCurrentLocation set it to 1 also HKU/Software/HTC/Manila/Weather.HasMyLocation set it to 1. then soft reset.
Has anyone found a way to add to the list of cities on the weather tab?
try the europe official rom on this post.......it works great and includes the my location you are looking for...................................................................................................................http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570366

There are a couple weather editors on XDA. I used JHV3 Weather City editor. The truth is that once you get the manila file modified by it you can copy it out, uninstall the program and then copy back the manila file and set one reg entry (weather update override one) and you are back to the way you were before installing.
As for the "My location" reg entry, I tried that and it said "no data" no matter which site I chose but My guess is that it doesnt actually know where you are.
I too would like to add this and the weather on the home screen and would be fine with the stock rom. I guess this will involve picking apart the gen Y updates and finding what adds this. I have a FUZE that is out of warranty that I can test this with.
on a related note, I've ported the myLocation service that I wrote to Titanium Weather already. The result is pretty cool; the Titanium Weather panel always shows local weather data without any need to update your location. Manilla is next but I'm not much of a manilla expert atm. I'm running an Energy Rom on my Fuze however so hopefully I'll figure it out itnf.

Have you made any headway on this yet?
Hi guys !
First of all great work with this forum makes so much fun to tweak my hd2 leo.
i am using the original big clock among with weather animation but my city name Offenbach am Main is overlapping with the animated sun. is there any possibility to cut of the city name ? That onlye Offenbach is displayed ? Thank u very much in advance !
Ive just had a play with the name entries in eth registry. Sorry, looks like it pulls the name directly from the servers. As soon as you adjust the name in the registry it removes the location from the locations list.
ahh ****
it aint a big problem but it catches the eye ! seems i have to get used to it
thx
@samsamuel, how about the long detailed weather forecasts in text like "intermittent clouds, etc...." that comes with the original weather/clock display? they also got cut, would you know of any registry tweak that can remove it? i really don't need to know in text what is the weather forecast.

i dont know for certain, but i suspect that text comes from accuweather too.
Go to accuweather website, and look at the hour by hour forecast, and you should see the text matches perfectly.
Both these things are possibly something that could be edited, but not via the registry. I suspectthere is a manila file that handles it.,

Hi all,
i am using the htc weather app but i am not very afraid with it because the weather datas of accue weather are very unexact.
I prefere wetter.com datas so I consider if it is possible to get wetter.com instead accue weather at HTC tab.
Do anybody have an idea if this is possible?
If not, do anybody know a possibility to get the g-weather tool to the manila slide tabs?
thx ahead
Kuckuck
Also interested in this!
HTC weather app is a tremendous resource hog. Takes up somewhere around 10mb when running. Also not intuitive. It's a "dumb" type of app.
I would advice anyone to turn off this tab. And use some online weather site instead. Or maybe install something else.
Anyone know how to remove the weather link on home wallpaper?

Disable weather tab. Don't update weather. After a while, the weather graphics will eventually disappear. Only your location will be left in that area of the home screen.
This is good for stock home screen. I don't know if custom ROM or custom home screen works the same way.

I can remove specially for you in general weather with home tab
I saw similar questions in other forums, but never an answer - is it possible to link the HTC Sense clock/weather widget so that when you click on the weather portion it links to a 3rd party weather app (i.e. my-cast weather lite) instead of the HTC weather forecast?
I love the HTC widget, but prefer my-cast weather's more detailed weather forecast for seeing in-depth info. Feel silly having the HTC widget and then have to click a separate icon for detailed weather. Would love to consolidate space and have one lead to the other.
Possible?
can't find any way of doing what you want... However Beautiful Widgets does offer that, not just for weather you can have it open different apps when you tap weather icon, date icon or time icon, on they don't have to be specific to what you tap, ie if you tap the weather icon you can have it open your my-cast app or Stupid Zombies or any other app you want it to open.
before the BW haters start beating up the thread, no it's not identical to the Sense weather clock, but it is very similar and unlike the Sense weather clock you don't have to flash a theme/themed ROM to change how it looks, after paying for the app you have access to literally 100's of free themes/skins for the Clock, Weather and Battery icon (can't run battery and weather at the same time).

Thanks for the reply - yeah I didn't think it'd be possible to do this with the native Sense widget, but thought I'd throw it out there to the people who know more than me. Even though I'm running Sense, I think I'll go back to BW, I bought it back when I was with my MT3G so I should still have access. Just would have preferred this funcionality with the sense widget since, although they look very similar, the HTC one is just 'cleaner' and smoother in its operation, i.e. weather animations and clock flipping. But the customizability of BW makes up for that I guess.
Thanks again!
Ok - another question. Figured I'd post it onto this thread instead of starting a new one, hopefully people will check it out...but is there any way to get the HTC weather animation (or a similar effect) WITHOUT having to use the widget? Decided to skip the widget and just keep weather temp in notification bar via my-cast weather. Only thing I'll miss is the animation, which was cool.
the only ways I have found to get the unlock animation is to have either the Sense Weather/Clock or Beautiful Widgets.
EDIT: okay while messing around I did findsomething you might be interested in. If you have BW installed, setup any of the "Home Weather" or "Super Clock" widgets, make sure you check/turn on "unlock animations", save and apply widget. after that even if your remove the widget from your homescreen it will show the unlock animation.
yes, it gets very boring waiting for UAW workers to unload your trailer.
Nice, thanks for the tip! Might be perfect. Will check it out.
