is there a way to port this over
Just get either Beautiful Widgets or the Weather & Toggle widget (both are paid apps). I personally find BW easier to use, but I'm told W&T has a skin that looks virtually the exact same as flip-clock from HTC's Sense UI.
i shoulda been more specific, i use fancy widgets which is identical, but i like htc's hd2 which has the animated clock that actually flips

What's your favorite? I was using "Android Apps' Weather Widget Forecast", but I do like the detail of the stock app.
I have seen some nice ones in pictures of the N1 so what's all out there that seems to work for you? I'm not very entertained by FB widgets.
My stock weather doesn't work anymore. Sliding the time doesn't update the forecast. Thinking this is a data service issue cost I changed roms and no fix. New Zealand.

Weatherbug's free once isn't bad, you have the ads that run, but they have a large and small version. I use the large on on it's own screen. Plus, it has plethora of cities to choose from/locations compared to the stock one.

Pretty neat. They have the one very similar to the one I was using before but I REALLY like the one that is sort of a mix between the stock app and that.
Going to give it a try. Thanks!

+1 very cool detailed weather information!
I noticed there is no weather app included with the streak.
Where can I get the EXACT same or even better weather app like on the HTC HD2 or the HTC Desire?
I looked yesterday in the marketplace for weather apps and there was nothing at all, just skins or different icons...

Fancy widget will do the job but i use weather and toggle widget
I found quite a good one that's easy to use and is accurate.
It's called AccuWeather.

I think thier are skins out in the market that will change it but i have not looked into it yet
I did try some of them but no matter which skin I use it doesn't look great as it should, maybe its not compatible with streak?

I found a MUCH better program that worked for me!
It's called beautiful widgets. It's amazing and much better than the stock ones for the htc devices.
It's graphically much better and is much more accurate, try it out. You even get to change the look of your clock and can even download hundreds of others.

That doesn't work for me neither. It's just not displayed correctly...
I'm using beautiful widgets. Awesome weather program for our streaks! When you tap the widget, it fills the entire screen with a gorgeous weather animation that encompasses the entire screen. Well worth the $2 Thanks for the tip kanej!
I've read the pundits comparasion, but I really want a "User's" experience opinion. Since I'm coming from HTC with Sense UI and going to Samsung with TouchWiz UI, what I'm I really gaining or loosing?

Why 1/10 for widgets? while they may not have as many as sense ui you can still use Android widgets as well as Samsung widgets...it at least warrants more then 1/10 >.>
Also aren't all the old widgets from winmo, symbian and even new ones from bada compatible with TouchWiz?

I think the touchwiz widgets are useless but androids are fine. I dont use any of the touchwiz widgets so thats why i said 1/10. Not sure about winmo, symbian and bada compatibility.

This is an old article so don't know if they kept it with TouchWiz 3.0..but thats whats it states :/
http://www.unwiredview.com/2009/08/...third-parties-by-launching-mobile-widget-sdk/
If someone could test it, then it would bee interesting :/
IMO, they both suck. Sense sucks less in that it is more refined but is far more pervasive. You really can't just turn it off as its fully integrated in the os. Touch wiz is easier to just get rid of.

Agreed. Now that applications can integrate accounts into Android, I don't think Sense brings any extra functionality to the table. At least Touchwiz has the power controls on the notification drawer, but I'd have stock Android over either. Pretty much a lose/lose.
If I had to choose to keep one, I suppose I'd say Sense, just because I (perhaps irrationally) enjoy using it more. I do love Sense's weather widget, and I haven't found anything close enough in the Market.

Try weather & toggle widget. The default skin sucks but load the htc one and it looks just like htcs. It even has the weather animations. The pic in my profile is my n1 with the weather widget.

The flip clock's fine, but the weather widget looks completely dissimilar.
If you want something exactly like the htc clock widget google "fancy widget"
This is great stuff folks. I really appreciate all the feedback. I am hoping this little "comparasion" thread will help others coming into the EPIC know what they are getting. It's better to hear it from real life users then the tech pundits...
Thanks to all...
I'm a big fan of Sense, but really the only thing I'll miss is the clock/weather (I alreeady have the weather toggle widget) and the HTC calendar, which I think is the perfect calendar widget. I was using Pure Calendar widget, but it didn't fit my needs as well as the HTC one did.
The main reason that someone wouldn't like Touchwiz is because they're so used to Sense. It's just like going from iPhone to Android. The person that's used to the iPhone would prefer the iPhone over an Android phone, and vice versa.

They both come with the same stock music player.
I came from my touch 3g.. On att so no 3g and it was my first android experience. I was sold within a week then waited for captivate to come out to use my upgrade. Never going back. Sense vs touchwiz is moot if you actually plan on using all the great upgrades in these forums. Stock stuff can and usually should be replaced even if its super duper pretty. Set priorities on hardware.

For those who are coming from sense and love the weather and clock widget, google "fancy widget". Its an exact duplicate. If you miss the other widgets from sense like the bookmarks, calander, people, etc., Launcher Pro has your back there. It is bringing all the sense ui goods
I'm coming from WinMo 6.5. I liked Sense, but are Sense, TouchWiz, etc. really even needed? I played with the Android port to WM, and IIRC, you can install widgets and such on top of stock Android. Just wondering if there would be more benefit to just rooting and getting that off the phone period.

Absolutely not, in the end they add very little in the way of functionality, though at least Touchwiz attempts to with 5.1 sound and the power control shortcuts in the notification bar.
Hi
Does anyone know what app is this and is it free?
Thxs
I think it's the htc sense UI flip clock. You can download the older version of fancy widget or beautiful widget, as sense hasn't been ported to the epic yet

It is pretty close to the sense ui clock the bottom widget
that is actually the sense flipclock from the HTC shift 4g.
i used weather and flipclock ($.99 when i bought it eons ago) and the h7 flipclock theme(free).

I use "Weather & Toggle Widget" (which I think is the same as above, it definitely changed its name at some point). It's currently $1.99, which I believe is what I paid. I use the "H7C" skin. The skins are free downloads that work as long as you have the main app. Unfortunately, it looks like the H7C skin is no longer on the market, and I'm guessing it was pulled because of a copyright claim by HTC (there was a youtube video of the skin, and that video has been pulled with a statement about an HTC copyright claim, so that's why I'm guessing the same thing happened to the skin itself).
It is by far my favorite widget. It's too bad that skin gone.
Please post questions in General section.
Looks like it might be Beautiful Widgets to me. It's about 2 dollars in the market. You can customize it with different clock and weather skins.

Hey all,
So seeing as level up have ruined beautiful widgets, does anyone know of any good alternatives?
Most if not all of the clocks and weather themes I used are gone, and the clocks are low rez, lose time,
and the Home weather widget is gone. The weather part of the app is ugly and poorly designed now too.
So i'm trying to find some clock widgets to replace it as I am furious they took an app I loved and replaced it with
an abomination lol.
Cheers.
I actually prefer the new version of BW. Using the HTC One X theme found on the theme market
But I see that HD Widgets is pretty up there in popularity. Not a fan of it though.

Thanks I will take a look. More than anything I need one that keeps time, which this one it seems still doesn't
I am annoyed because almost all the themes left for the clocks are exactly the same, all the home weather one's I liked, unless i'm not looking properly like angry birds, are gone, and the app is now slow and laggy.
Guess it's all down to personal preference but I just wish they would offer the old version.

HD Widgets looks excellent I might have to give it a go. Although I'm reluctant to give another Dev my cash, they
are editors choice on the play market, and I guess I could backup the .apk in case it is updated in future
Cheers.

Hit the thanks button if I helped I bought BW when it was on sale so I'm not too crazed about it, idk I like the improvement of BW 5.0 doesnt feel laggy at all, especially not on the N4.
I have both HD Widgets and Beautiful Widgets. There are a lot more style choices in HD Widgets. HD Widgets also allows you to customize the look of the widget more than BW.

I used The 4x1 Weather widget in Beautiful widgets with the SimpleSolid skin. But when the 5.0 update came, it made the icons in the widget bigger and due to that they don't fit into the 4x1 space properly anymore. Parts of the images get cut off because they extend outside the widget boundaries.
I had to switch to another skin that uses much smaller icons but I really liked the SimpleSolid skin and will probably explore alternative widget options.
I have both and I prefer HD widgets because I don't have to search for widget themes as you can edit the widgets through the app and HD widgets has switches that I use a lot.
