Porting stock G2 Weather to G3 - help needed - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i'm using Cloudy G3 2.0 rom and i don't like the stock weather widget. I like the original G2 KK widget and i'm trying to port it to the Cloudy rom, but with no success - I only get FCs. I don't want to use 3d party widgets like xWidget and Zooper - for some reason they're not working for me, xWidget has an issue with updating the clock - it stays on the time on which i added the widget to my home screen. Zooper on the other hand has issues with weather refresh - even if i change the weather provider to Yahoo the weather widget do not refresh the data until a manual update is forced.

[Q] Fancy Widget settings ...

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.

How do I add the large clock / weather on home page ?

Sounds stupid, I loaded a dozen of roms but the one I like and I am keeping does not show the large flip clock with weather on home page.
Is it a custom widget ? Where do I find it. I dowloaded 1/2 dozen of similar from Market but none works as good as the "OEM".
I am using ocm_r1 Kernel
fancy widgets is almost as good as the stock htc sense clock/weather widget. in the pro version you can download a load of skins for clock/weather and one of them looks like original sense (it's called H7C).

Link HTC clock/weather to 3rd party weather app?

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.

[Q]Sense-like Widgets?

I just received my Telstra SGS2 and love it. But what I really am looking for is a Weather widget like Sense, where I can add multiple cities and flick through them, or click on the widget to open the app.
I also would like an email widget (also like sense) which can look at all the email accounts (2x GMail and 1 Exchange). or at the very least allow me to look at my Exchange email.
I already am using Launcher Pro and have the people, calendar and messages widgets - but I miss the other 2.
Also does anyone know of a stocks widget that is close to the Sense one also - a 4x4 widget shows the stock items without having to open an app?
thanks in advance.

I use beautiful widget along with beautiful weather I think... that give you sense like clock with weather animations.
you can try fancy widget pro or fancy widgets (actually same)
Thanks for that, I am using Fancy widgets for the weather app now.
But I would still like an email widget - anyone know of one other than Pure Messenger or K9 as I can't get my Exchange to work with these?
A stock one would also be great.
Thanks
