Applications - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hey guys, what is a good weather widget for the magic? Can't seem to find a good widget that works, the ones I download have errors.
Thanks
P.S. while your at it post other apps that you like

I've had "Weather Widget" installed for the last few days on my Magic. Works well and at the right price..... free.

Best Android Widgets

Just thought I'd start a thread on what the best android widgets are (paid and free). I installed the various Tattoo builds and love the HTC interface, but as of now, they are just too processor/memory intensive and they lag up the phone too much. I've now installed Myn's Warm Donut because it runs fast and so far, hasn't caused any hang ups.
So far, I've installed Home++ and it works well as a home replacement. I'm looking for a weather widget to replace the HTC weather widget, and so far have only found WeatherBug as a widget. Works well, but isn't flashy.
What are everyone's favorite Android Widgets???
I would say my number one widget when im not using hero or tattoo is "beautiful widgets". I love the animated weather and hero like weather clock. not the latest version because htc asked them nicely to change the interface because its to much like the real thing, so i use like 2.36. i think 2.5 and up are changed interface and its not near as good. it is a paid app. i also just tried home++ and didnt quite find it as appealing as open home. home++ changes android interface too much for me. no home replacement apps work with live wallpapers as of yet.
You want Weather Widget 2 Ver. 3.2...its the best I think you can find and works well with Myn's build.
PM me if you cant find it.
So farm here's what I'm running on Myn's Donut build without any problems at all:
Accuweather
Amazon
AP Mobile
Facebook (widget)
Home++ (home replacement)
NewsRob
The Weather Channel (widget)
Ultimate Stopwatch
Google Voice
Weatherbug (widget)
Smooth Calendar (widget)​

Thanks wdbanks - I found a version but it doesn't fit 240 x 320. Is that app only for 320 x 480 screens?
I use weather widgets 3.2 on 240x320

Just got a Nexus One

I just got a nexus one exactly one week ago and Im lovin it. I made the switch from win mo. I had the Touch HD and Xperia X1. Now I dont want to root the nexus because it voids warranty and there seems to be many problems users are having with it. I dont want to have no warranty if anything happens to mine.
So I would like to know, what apps should I get and what widgets. There is a very limited number of widgets on the nexus and I want to fill up the home screen. I downloaded engadget and they have a widget, I downloaded a couple of games, xda app, and the htc sense keyboard. So I hope you other nexus users can help me since Im an andoid newbie.

What are you looking for in a widget?
I'm currently using..
Beautiful Widgets (paid)
AudioManager
DaysUntil
National Rail
Network Widget
PhotoFrame
Pure Calendar (paid)
Pure Music (paid)
nice, just downloaded. audio manager. Im looking for sense like widgets. If there was an htc desire compatable with att 3g. I wouldve got it
Hmm ok I can tell you about a couple of apps that I use often at least:
Handcent SMS - Much better than the built in messaging app imo
Dolphin Browser - I prefer it to the stock browser
3G Watchdog - Keeps track of how much you transfer over 3G, very useful
Agenda Widget - A good widget for showing upcoming appointments
RealCalc - A calculator with a "few" more options than the stock oen
Nimbuzz - Will cater to most of your IM needs
Spotify - Good for streaming music and storing it offline if it's available in your country
Doggcatcher - Great program for podcasts
Barcode Scanner -Good to have to scan in those barcode links that are used a couple of places
Battery Indicator - Gives you a number to look at in the notification bar instead of the pretty useless built in battery icon
Connectbot - SSH client
Smart Keyboard - A great keyboard with different skins and dictionaries for many languages
Documents to Go - Great office suite
Xe Currency - Keeps you up to date with conversion rates
Weather widgets - A good clock/weather widget
Games:
Don't know about that many games and I can't get the full versions of most of them since I don't have paid apps where I come from and I'm not rooted, but I can suggest a few.
Snesoid - Essential imo, play all those great SNES games on your phone and you won't need much else on the gaming side
Abduction - Jumping cows, what else do you need from a time waster?
SFCave - classic game from the early Palm devices if I'm not mistaken
Toss It - Good time waster
3d Pong - Classic flash game
Anways my tip for you is just to look around the market and test out apps, many are free and most have at least a lite version and that is the best way to find out if you like/need an app.

I'd definitely give Beautiful Widgets a go then
fwiw, handcent sms is a great app. it totally replaced mine.
the htc keyboard is great, i have it on my rooted desire rom.
Beautiful Widgets is what your looking for if you want sense style widgets. I believe they nearly got sued for their weather clock.
I love the textsfromlastnight widget, lol, but dunno if you like that site.
i keep the facebook stock widget open.
weather/news widget is actually ok, but i use the desire weather widget.

Post 2.1 update questions

Hello All,
Now that we have a 2.1 update (ufff what a long wait), have a question on the new Sense 2.1 widget.
1. I couldn't find FriendFeed and News Feed (rss aggregator) widget. I tried to look at the Widgets and also the download htc widgets link but still couldnt find it.
Besides this had couple of minor issues but got it sorted.
1. Some of the facebook contacts were missing in the list (10%). Did a manual account logoff and log in and this solved the issue
2. Market app crashed while opening. Again, system restart and it worked perfectly.
Regards

hey guys, need your help on removing some apps

Hi guys, my phone is rooted, running Matts epic rom.. I removed a lot of apps that I don't like but there are a few that I cannot seem to find, I'm using root explorer then going to system/app folder. Anyone know the file name to the following apps ?
Latitude
Places
News and Weather
Thanks in advance =)
don't really recommend removing them...but if you really want to then use "Titanium Backup"...downloadable from market. the free version works too. you can uninstall and backup apps in there.
Bumpsky...
Latitude and Places are part of Maps.
Last I checked, new and weather is called genie widget.
Hope this helps.
News & Weather = GenieWidget.apk
Other two are extensions of maps you can use launcherpro or adw to hide apps in the app drawer for your viewing pleasures.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
thx guys !!! and great tip on the launcher pro hiding apps in the tray =D
fone is now to my liking !
