Hey everybody,
since I installed racht's Floyo 0.10 ROM yesterday I'm really happy with it since it's working like a charm and also looks pretty good in the default configuration.
However, there's still one thing that bothers me - I'd like to have a widget that shows date, time AND the next alarm coming up.
Floyo 0.10 has Fancy Widget, which looks good but doesn't show alarms. It's the same with SiMi Clock Widget.
The Xperia X8 stock Digital Clock widget did show alarms, but didn't look that good imo.
Floyo 0.10 also has a "Clock" app preinstalled which looks perfect, but I can't find a way to use it on my home screens.
And yes, the alarm is displayed on the unlock screen - but I'd really like to have it on my home screens as well.
So, any recommendations? Which date/time (+alarm?) widgets are you using ?
Date & Time -> SiMi Clock widget
Alarm - Not used
Date & Time Widget: SiMi Clock
Alarm: Alarm Klock
alarm droid is very good .. u can have it to do amath calculation to snooze the alarm amazing =D

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
How do i get Fancy Widget to display properly in landscape?
you dont buddy. its a glitch and can only be fixed by the developer updating the app. its the reason i gave up on it.
Has anyone found any good weather / clock widgets that display properly? I use ADW or LauncherPro.. I've tried tons of clock widgets, some with weather, but they almost all are distorted. I use Weather and Toggle widget now; it looks okay but just not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like a nice big clock - 2x4 preferably.
i really love the weather widged, but i'd like to use the typoClock instead of the simi one.. is it possible somehow to put into screen only the weather widget?
Moved as not theme/software release.
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.

Did you mean something like this ?
You won't get all the features combined in one app.
