Best home screen widget

Okay, I'm looking for a good 2 row / 4 column homescreen widget. I'm so annoyed and can't find a good one. I have fancy widget and beautiful widget. Any other suggestions?

Simi clock

I like GO Weather for now, although I would prefer if it would launch the clock app when you touch the clock...hopefully they will add it in

I like fancy widget, you'd have to search for it, I don't think its available for download anywhere official. I iseit on my captivate and my aria. it looks and act (mostly) like the stock sense flip clock widget. And you can set it to open specific apps when you touch the weather, calendar or clock...
Edit... OK I'm dumb, I just read right over the part where you said you already have fancy widget...

I use fancy widget, but not the one available on the market. I don't like that one. I found an old version floating around on the launcher pro website. Its identical to the sense flip clock (which is why its not available via the market anymore I'm assuming).

Sense based customizable (adw-launcher pro) launcher

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.

There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.

Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.

Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

GO Weather maybe?

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.

Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.

Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.

Best weather app

What will be the best weather forecast(4 or 7days, hourly preferred) app with notification.
I am from india.
Presently using weather and toggle widget.
From X10i+TEAM v3.1 using XDA premium

I use Fancy Widget. It is the best.

Do you really think that this must be in GENERAL section???!!

Palmary weather is great as well. Nice Widgets.

well can be fancy widget, weather bug, simtab weather (or something like that)
world weather widget

I use Beweather and it has a really nice slick UI. There's a free and paid version.

I agree. I love the 1x4 widget, runs nicely along the left side of my center home screen

What are the best tablet size (5x1 or more) widgets? Especially weather forecast.

I find that very few apps/widgets that I have offer a 5x1 or more size.
I can only name HD Widgets as one. Which ones d'you have installed on your Note?
Can anyone recommend a good weather/forecast widget with tablet size available?
I find that using ADW Launcher Ex's widget/icon resizing helps but sometimes makes poor resolution or such more noticeable. Unfortunate. Also, resizing doesn't offer more information to be included. So native support is still the most useful!

Android Pro Widgets and Jorte both have nice 5x5 widgets.
No luck yet for weather, though...

Give "3D Flip Clock and World Weather" a try. I've been using it since I got my note.

I use beautiful widgets and the weather widget on there is pretty nice.

I'm digging 'Snowstorm Weather' although it's only 4x1 - I am using Go Launcher so just resize it to 5x1 and it still looks great.

I am using " beautiful widgets ", works very well with Note. See my screen shot.

I'm using beautiful widgets as well, it has a 5x2 superclock widget.
@skyhew, what skin are you using and which widget gives you the controls on the screen?
Edit nevermind Skyhew. I think you are using HD widgets and I found the settings for those

I use 3D Flip Clock and World Weather. 5x2
