Sounds stupid, I loaded a dozen of roms but the one I like and I am keeping does not show the large flip clock with weather on home page.
Is it a custom widget ? Where do I find it. I dowloaded 1/2 dozen of similar from Market but none works as good as the "OEM".
I am using ocm_r1 Kernel
fancy widgets is almost as good as the stock htc sense clock/weather widget. in the pro version you can download a load of skins for clock/weather and one of them looks like original sense (it's called H7C).

One of the things that has me off custom Android 2.1 ROMs for the Tattoo is the fact that the Sense UI. although a memory hog, has really nice widgets I can't seem to be able to get anywhere else...
So I'm looking for at least the following widgets:
- A weather widget that fills one home screen;
- A calendar widget that fills one home screen;
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

hi
pls search use google if needed thread closed
Hello,
As I'm reorganizing my main home screen (HTC Desire), I find that the original HTC 4x2 takes up too much space especially because I don't care about the weather part of it.
I do like the "flip clock" design though.
I have looked around for an alternative and have found the following solutions:
BeautifulWidget small home widget
This looks nice, especially with the right skin, but it's still a 4x1 widget and the clock itself is not centered even when hiding the weather part of it.
Is it possible at all to have the clock centered?
Digital World Clock widget
This one is a 2x1 widget without weather, which means I can center it at the top of the screen. Unfortunately the date display is bogus on a French locale phone, it does not respect the date format(day month year) and the name of the day of the week (Thursday) gets displayed as a number (5)
I have contacted the author about that, I'll see if he replies.
In the mean time, would you have any other suggestions for this?
Regards
Olivier
Hey,
You could try "Retro Clock Widget", free in the market. Has clock and date functions in separate 2x1 widgets. Not sure if it solves your date issues though.
Good luck.
Thanks, I did see that one as well but the date is not on the same widget as the time so it's not fitting quite well with what I'm looking for.
I sure looks nice though.

Thanks, but I could not find a way to configure it as a 2x1 widget without weather
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I use Flip Clock Large (used to be in the market, isn't any more, but you can still find the APK on the web) It's very similar to the original HTC Clock, but without the weather.
I had awesome 2x1 flip clock widget that is part of cMiui ROM, but can't find it anywhere as a standalone widget... please help.
Here is an image of it:

I tried that one, but it doesn't flip when unlocking, to show how many minutes has passed... this is something I really liked on cMiui flip clock widget and can't find it anywhere. It's driving me nuts
This looks like MIUI flip cloc widget:

BUT it doesn't flip!!!
it is just a static clock widget
Hello Guys..
Just moved from HTC sense rom, to new Gingerbread rom.
The only thing i need, which i can't find as good as the one HTC made in the Froyo rom is the weather widget.
I think it's a cool feature that the background is "animated" with the weather, when i unlock the phone.
Is there any widget that can do the same? Found a lot of widgets on the market, but not as good as the original...
beautiful widgets is ok
Stick with beautiful widgets for now.
fancy widget
h7 clock skin
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.
I just received my Telstra SGS2 and love it. But what I really am looking for is a Weather widget like Sense, where I can add multiple cities and flick through them, or click on the widget to open the app.
I also would like an email widget (also like sense) which can look at all the email accounts (2x GMail and 1 Exchange). or at the very least allow me to look at my Exchange email.
I already am using Launcher Pro and have the people, calendar and messages widgets - but I miss the other 2.
Also does anyone know of a stocks widget that is close to the Sense one also - a 4x4 widget shows the stock items without having to open an app?
thanks in advance.

I use beautiful widget along with beautiful weather I think... that give you sense like clock with weather animations.
you can try fancy widget pro or fancy widgets (actually same)
Thanks for that, I am using Fancy widgets for the weather app now.
But I would still like an email widget - anyone know of one other than Pure Messenger or K9 as I can't get my Exchange to work with these?
A stock one would also be great.
Thanks
DT
