It Looks awesome on my x10, but the widget doesnt display any weather information ¿

Beautiful Widgets is better imo.

I just got Beautiful Widget yesterday and its lovely. Yes I had to pay 1.78 Euros for it but well worth it. Might be an alternative if you can't get yours working.
You may need to go to the fancy widget config screen and uncheck the location box at the top and then 'set location'
Will no longer be greyed out. Set ur location and it should work. Did for me neway . . . .

Can someone post a video of beautiful widget running on their x10? I want to buy it based on what everyone is saying but I don't know much about how it actually looks
To be fair its a bit pointless showing you any pics of it cos its soooo skin-able that it would take 100's of shots to show you.
Its 4 colums wide and two deep, you have large clock display, day, date temperature and picture of the weather. The clock can be either in its own box with background or a see thru one so it sits over your wall paper nicely (which is what I have got!) The clock font and colour is hugely changeable, you just download more skins to your phone - free once you've made the initial purchase. The weather pictures probably have a dozen different settings. The text colour for the day date bit is entirely your choice.
It is 'beautiful' and for under £2 its pretty darn cheap for what you get.

Thanks for the great description
But with the imminent update to 2.1, is there any point in getting it now? We can just use the weather live wallpaper
Imminent do you know something we dont? Lol. Hadn't thought about that, but I'm kind of bad at waiting for stuff when I decide I want it. Typical impatient woman!

Man it's like $2 wtf...people should help the dev community out more, it's a damn good app, so is Touiteur (LevelUp Studio as well)
so last week I looked up dark levels on google image and found an epic one. used it last 3 days and increased my battery life by almost 2 hours.
use this shortened url or the qr i attached.
http://goo.gl/YRdDG
it looks great too. i really enjoy just how dark this is and i seriously think no light is being used when you have it exposed
cheers
I always used a pure black image I made with a paint program as my wallpaper on my Nexus One and my Galaxy S phones to save juice.
The battery life on the Nexus S is so phenomenal that I've actually been using live 3D wallpapers (like an aquarium) and similar without concern. I can easily make it through an 18 hour day on the NS without having to resort to a black wallpaper.
Still, I love the way a pure black background looks on the pure black Nexus S; I may go back to it just for the aesthetics.
Good tip, though!
I've been using all black every where possible for months, It really helps battery life.
Cyanogen web browser has a very useful all black option to turn all white pages to black.
Here is mine
Pure black created using Windows 7 Paint.
Good idea. Trying it to see hour much juice it saves.

Yep it looks business like
i always try to keep most of my themes black
but is boring when every thing is always black
so it's okay to have some highlights here and there ... at the expense of extra battery usage

I agree and with the beautiful screen on the NS, why not give it a little life
I hope battery technology will one day improve to the point where we don't have to help the phone save juice. It always bothers me there are these features which we can't fully take advantage of or have to turn off and moderate to get a phone through the day.
Having said that, my NS does quite well with battery, and I have WP Clock live wallpaper running.
Is there a good place to get black themed gmail, gvoice, reader, calendar, etc. to look like contacts?
Personally I think colorful backgrounds are kinda girly. Meet to see once. But I prefer the lookof the solid black. And I believe it shows our screens abilities perfectly and make the apps pop better that a cheesy background...

I know it's kind of cheesy but I really like the Matrix Live Wallpaper for that reason. It shows off the pure black and then you have the coloured characters falling all over the screen, it looks amazing on the SAMOLED.
+1 I love the super blacks of amoled.
Plus easy on the eyes and battery. What's not to love?
Solar Winds LWP, mostly back, but with flashes of colour.
Best of both worlds
Yes there's black themed MMS.apk and Gmail.apk in the apps/themes forum. Need root access to swap them though.

Ok, here is my list of apps and widgets that I use because of its level of blackness
- simiClock widget (replaced Beautiful widget)
- Jorte for Google calendar client (it has black theme)
- Pure Calendar Widget with a black theme
- Default google email client (it has black list, but not when reading email)
- Go SMS (terrific! it has dark theme plus we can change the background color)
I know, there are "specially modified" apps out there, but you need to root your device.
For non-rooted user like me, these apps are suitable to have some blackness.
Please share if you find other alternatives, especially email client

A good app that I use is Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market, and I believe it's free. Pick any of your wallpapers you have saved and it'll automatically set it to fit your screen size, and you can make it either scrollable or nonscrollable. Works perfect for me. In fact, my current wallpaper is sized for my computer, and this app sized it perfectly for my phone.

Sorry that version doesn't have the date cropped, but should be easy to fix as you're setting it as wallpaper. Yes, it's an out of focus pic of the screen of a dvd player displaying r00t, but imo that's freakin awesome.
Forget where I found this 1 but sadbot is cool too.

I tried the app,but some wallpapers still look messed up. I'll upload a picture later.
I've been using this one for a while now:
Use the app called 'Zedge', It is the best app for wallpapers, ringtones and notifications. Check it out on the market

Hot summer
feeling hot this summer chk this out ,for all walls download from the link below
http://www.multiupload.com/X0I8K2TK1W
Here's a quick collection I did and I assure you they will look great!!
* most of these images aren't mine, I just found them on the net then resized for our screens, sharpened, corrected colors, blabla... I take no credit for them.
You can download the pack from here: http://www.multiupload.com/TK3N8RQEVJ.
As a side note, some of these backgrounds actually have interesting... backgrounds.
For example, "deep field" is an image made by Hubble, showing the furthest reaches of the Universe (light emitted ~ 13.5 billion years ago), "cherenkov" is an actual picture of a nuclear reactor (nuclear radiation isn't green, like in the movies, but that very cool blue) and "vitruvian", if you didn't know already is inspired by DaVinci's Vitruvian Man.
I'm currently switching between staredad and vitruvian, I love them both so much!
Two of my favourite background. Very nice with Laucher Pro and default icon
Anyone have the stock HTC Sensation 4G Wallpaper? (not the unlocked HTC Sensation color wallpaper)

Now, a little backstory: the pictures depicting the International Space Station are real (and pretty awesome), mars.png is an actual photo of a sunset on the planet Mars and atmosphere is an image made by the crew of the ISS (you can see the troposphere, stratosphere - more info here: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100623.html).
Hope you like 'em!

Hey,is there any way to set a live wallpaper in the unlock screen like in Ice Cream Sandwich?
If ur happy with a work around >.>
Set a live wallpaper in ur home screen
Use deluxe settings found in some custom roms in xda
And set the lock screen to transparent without shadow
And u get to see your home screen working while in lock screen
<.< not the best thing but works
Ok, that is to hard for me, i dont want to install a custom rom!
I've not tried this myself, but it seems like it should do the trick...

Edit: I can confirm this works - just tried it myself.
Just don't come back and start a thread about the severe battery drainage your likely to encounter.
It's beyond me why people use live wallpapers unless you have your charger on hand all the time, massive battery drainage every time.
The idea is nice but hell yeah i guess jonny68 is right.
The batterie wont do it as long as usual.
To heck with batteries! Does anyone know of a trick to make a live wallpaper semi-transparent? I want to display multiple layers of live wallpapers.

I tried it, but I dont like it. The one long continuous home screen is cool, but I dont like the dullness that is the app drawer. All I want is the stock launcher with the ability to go to 1 home screen and change the grid size. Anyone know of such a thing for honeycomb?
i do not get the need to change to launcher ui.when I have my tablet in my hand im looking at a app I use. Don't care much for all the not needed flash .keep it simple save the CPU cycles and memory for the apps and browser.
With that said the pics look nice. Just dont see tthe point
Good responses I didn't like it cuz I have SPB shell and this launcher still needs alot of work to it in my eyes. That being said FOR THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE and don't wanna spend 15 on a 3D launcher this might be of interest which is why I decided to post

Who needs an App Drawer when you can have these Folder Cubes.
This video is after an hour or so of goofing with it.
No way was this a quick process. But it was easy to do.
Yes I did move every app from my App Drawer to the Folder
Cube on the desktop.
And no. You haven't lost or began to need reading glasses.
Just try imagine that I took the time to clear up the video a little bit.
There's not a lot that I can do to lessen the pointlessness. So. Much like the video. I didn't
even try to correct that one. Sorry E.R.
Not too bland eh?
It is easy to see that the larger icons take a few seconds to load. I will send a link to this video to the dev and see if there is a way to put large, and even customized icons (for the ones that it doesn't find.) into the cache somewhere. Maybe it will be an easy fix. Other than that I have to say that it is pretty nice on the Iconia. I don't regret buying it one bit. Now to find the Nook Color...

Look for a app called Folder Organizer.. I have it and set it up once it allows you create groups with menus on your home screen .. not exactly what your looking for but you might like it.. also DENSITY CHANGER APP.. im not sure the exact name .. changes the screen density . This changes the icon size not sure if it will allow you to drop more on there or not..

Sorry for getting off topic good luck

No problem. This app works just as well on the Nook Color as it does on the Acer. (?!?Maybe even better?!?) Thanks again for sharing the find. I'll use this for a solid couple of days and report back on the stability. As well as any news. So far so good though.
