Weather/News Widget

What's your favorite? I was using "Android Apps' Weather Widget Forecast", but I do like the detail of the stock app.
I have seen some nice ones in pictures of the N1 so what's all out there that seems to work for you? I'm not very entertained by FB widgets.

My stock weather doesn't work anymore. Sliding the time doesn't update the forecast. Thinking this is a data service issue cost I changed roms and no fix. New Zealand.

Weatherbug's free once isn't bad, you have the ads that run, but they have a large and small version. I use the large on on it's own screen. Plus, it has plethora of cities to choose from/locations compared to the stock one.

Pretty neat. They have the one very similar to the one I was using before but I REALLY like the one that is sort of a mix between the stock app and that.
Going to give it a try. Thanks!

Weather App For Dell Streak?

I noticed there is no weather app included with the streak.
Where can I get the EXACT same or even better weather app like on the HTC HD2 or the HTC Desire?
I looked yesterday in the marketplace for weather apps and there was nothing at all, just skins or different icons...

I think thier are skins out in the market that will change it but i have not looked into it yet

I did try some of them but no matter which skin I use it doesn't look great as it should, maybe its not compatible with streak?

I found a MUCH better program that worked for me!
It's called beautiful widgets. It's amazing and much better than the stock ones for the htc devices.
It's graphically much better and is much more accurate, try it out. You even get to change the look of your clock and can even download hundreds of others.

That doesn't work for me neither. It's just not displayed correctly...

I'm using beautiful widgets. Awesome weather program for our streaks! When you tap the widget, it fills the entire screen with a gorgeous weather animation that encompasses the entire screen. Well worth the $2 Thanks for the tip kanej!

Lg star weather widget!!!

Has anybody seen this:http://www.engadget.com/lg-star/preview/
Can anyone port this to the desire?

the device has only been leaked, so no one has really had their hands on it, when it becomes available to the public, im sure someone will port it, but for now nothing sorry

Im sure you wont have any problems getting a ported version of a widget that hasnt even been released yet

There's a skin for Fancy Widget that's similar to the LG Star widget although there's no grass, but I suspect it's just a matter of time.

Galaxy S2 clock widget

Is there any way to get the S2 clock widget on the N4? Coming from the S2, I love that clock. Just clean and nice looking on top of having the weather, etc. I know there are all sorts of widgets on the market, but I was just curious about something similar to the S2's?

umm no
because S2's widgets and all requires TouchWhiz framework
Unless u plan on putting an ugly touchwiz launcher, dont think u can have it
Although there are other alternatives

Thanks for the clarification. I see the alternatives in the market, it just seems like the S2 one was so clean and nice. Thanks though!

Z2 Lockscreen?

Has the Z2 ditched the ''Blinds Effect'' Lockscreen from the Z/Z1 completely on the Z2? or is the option still there to use it? I thought it was one of the nicer lockscreen's about, shame if they have ditched it.

Ditched completely. There is a "glitter" effect now like in Playstation, and that's the only available option.

coast ssubre
I am coming from Galaxy S series, so just a short question.
Does the lockscreen also have the transparent status bar in Android 4.4.2, as in the home screen?
I have only seen pics of 4.3 lockscreen.

Are you sure? Have you went into settings>lock screen and ticked the "widgets" box or whatever it says. It could have been turned off
