hero widgets

i have search all over and i can't find the really cool looking weather widget for the hero rom, or the clock widget on the main screen of the pictures of android rosie. can someone please provide the link for the files. thanx
I'm digging the calendar widget myself.
Whats your email address, I'll send them to you both. I tried to upload them to the site but I got a 503 page error.
can you use the hero widgets with other roms?
Nope, your cannot use it atm with other roms without rosie ui, i think it is currently paired with rosie ui. Unless rom developers could port the widgets to the traditional Launcher.
thank you for the responce

weather app

Hey all,
Question for the geniuses in here, the HD2 HTC weather app built into the phone, can it be exported and put in another phone? Personally I like the way it eye candies the home screen if it’s cold or raining and such. Does anyone know of a similar weather app for other HTC phones? I personally have the GSM Touch Pro 2 and the HD2 weather app would be beautiful on this phone. Can this be done has it been done or does anyone know of any similar cool looking weather apps?
Thanks for reading,

Weather on Home screen? Any Ideas on how to do it?

Hey guys,
I just got my new HTC Touch HD this morning and am im looking to know how these people are getting the weather on there home screen, could anyone tell me?
Thankyou and i would be much appreciated for a quick resolution.

Hello!
The weather on the homescreen is not part of the normal touch HD software.
To get this (and other features) you will need to flash a 'custom ROM'.
these are basically modified versions of the software, with features taken from newer HTC devices (e.g. touch diamond2 and HD2).
Its not difficult, but you will have to read the instructions carefully and take care, as it is possible to brick your device if you don't do it correctly.
Once you have learnt how it is done, you can flash news ROMs quickly and easily.
If you really want to do it, set yourself a couple of hours, and read through all the info in the 'Flashing' part of the wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
there is additional info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
and ROM's to chose from here:

my recommended ROMs are below (see signature)...
However i really dont want to change the stand feel off the phone, cant you change it to the HD2 display? As i dont want new fancy looking buttons that make the phone look arful.
Thanks

you cant get the weather homescreen without using a custom ROM
Try the Topix Windows mobile 6.1 ROM, it will add home screen weather, but does not have many of the other features of the HD2
