With Beautiful widgets, you can get the weather on your notificationbar. No root required.

Don't know if there is any app for stocks...I would be intrested, too.

The beutiful widgets thing is not that good....any ROM that provides this....if the stock cant ??

Weather Notification. Informative but no pretty animations.

Decent...but does not have the cool factor...
So should I assume that ios is better off than Android..atleast for this feature....sad but true :-(

It's just an app , not tied to OS , if there is enough demand developers will make them, need to screen app market once in a while.

Try The Accuweather app from market,That allows you to have weather on your Notification bar

Yes, you should get an iPhone. This feature makes it sooooooo much better than Android phones.

Would really love to see this available!

Pushing this thread up, maybe someone's got an App...

no offence to anyone....but all I mean is that apple copied the notifications functionality from Android, but made it bit better....and our Devs can take some ideas from Apple and make it much better considering we have open source
its all healthy competition ( except the stupid lawsuits )
so... could any motivated Dev in the house please stand up

This isn't Weather or Stocks...but it can be pretty handy...
Found it on the Market:

Isn't good if you got a black notification bar, because you can't change the text color to white (or something else...)

Try Palmary Weather (free): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.palmarysoft.forecaweather&hl=en
Menu -> More -> Enable temperature notification
Also happens to be a very nice weather app.

hmm, I like Beautifulwidgets more, but this one is free, so it's ok.

I use weatherbug elite. Has temp in top left corner and forecast in the pull down bar. Widgets real nice too

If i had the option to remove/replace the icons at the bottom it would be perfect for me. Nothing else added or taken away.

Got a good free 1 for the clock
It's called: WF Clock widget
I think it looks better but u can't manualy update it so if it's not displaying the weather u should wait till it automaticly refreshes.
has anyone seen a widget/switch for mobile data/3g+/H that works with launcher?
you know like the ones you can set on sense via add widget>settings>data connection.

Getting HTC Home on Epic4g?

I was wondering if the sprint epic users can get that clock/weather app from the HTC Phones. I liked how it has the weather,clock and dates on there.... Thanks in advanced
Google Fancy Widget
Fancy Widget
It used to be on the market, but they were sued by HTC. You should be able to find the APK on the web though with no too much searching... It is identical to the HTC clock with date and weather.
Closest thing you will find to the htc sense clock/weather widget is going to be beautiful widget app available through the market or you could find it free searching google.

Yeah... It LOOKS like the HTC FlipClock widget, but it doesn't flip... That's the main thing I want. I could care less about the other HTC Sense widgets... >_>
Thanks so much for this. I bought Beautiful Widgets but this is much better looking. I prefer the Accuweather screen on beautiful widgets but this clock looks great.

I think it was Fancy Widgets. I tried Beautiful Widgets too which has the weather animations and everything like HTC which is cool too, but then I downloaded the Weather.com app...I really like that and it seems more accurate for me.
Either way, I liked beautiful widgets better...
I've been using one called weather and toggle widget. It is free but to get the weather animtion its $1.99. Its pretty rad. It has the weather animation and the htc clock with downloadable skins and weather.

It seems a htc click and weather widget. If you have htc sense you should have this. otherwise try fancy widget, beautiful widgets, or not fancy widget. They are very similar to htc weather widget.

Nope; have the same setup as the picture; so impossible it's sense (I have Gingerbread)
Yeah, that's not Sense. You can see that from the stock launcher in the image. Have a look at "beautiful widget". It'll give you that, plus many many more options
It's fancy widget pro with inverted theme style..

Actually this is called "One More Clock". Free in the market and comes with a bunch of themes, it's the second last when you're choosing a theme for it.

On one of these wallpapers, the user had his handle above the clock. How is that done? I have also seen a few custom sets of icons, but I didn't think there were any themes available for this tablet yet?

I have searched something like it for quite a while, but it's always not quite what I want, and sadly, I have no programming skills at all... all I can do is hope that there are enough others who support this idea.
thanks for reading.

Its JKay's Deluxe Framework thread which gives you lock screen settings, perhaps with enough requests they will develop what you're looking for.
Of course we would all like this!!!
I really don't understand how android is the best platform when android plain ICS doesn't offer on lockscreen notifications!!!!?!?
How on earth?! Even my nokia can do this!!!
I thought that they'll fix it in ICS but I was wrong! And they didn't even fix it in JB!!!
Very disappointed!

Well yes you can if you get widgetlocker and buy missed it and install the widget on screen!!!
However this is not acceptable!
Think about how many users (probably around 3/4) can't / don't know how to do it!
You should no have a diploma to be able to enable notifications on screen!
Damn this should be by default in the system!
Iphone, symbian (nokia) WP7 and all can do this! I really don't understand why Android doesn't (i know it can but it doesn't)! It needs OEM (HTC, samsung etc..) intervention to be able to deliver that! Which is simply basics!!!
Those Notifications are unnecessary imo. You already have the notification bar, why do you need it twice?
I would understand this if lockscreen would hide the notification bar. Everything else is easy made by widgetlocker.
Amazing idea bro

Also, don't like the idea of everyone able to be nosey by seeing all of your notifications, from the lock screen.
I think being able to slide down the notification bar, from the lock screen is a better idea, less mess.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And make it slide like the iphone not tapping. I know, i know, its gonna be too similar but you have to accept the fact that its accident proof and more clean looking(but this could change with JB animations).
