Well, I know this may sound sacriledge, but I disabled Touch Flo b/c I preferred my set-up with SPB Plus and SPB Shell, also much faster, but I do miss the fancy weather app. Does anyone know if that is accessible via an .exe or other shortcut or only available via TouchFlo.
Thanks,
James

Wow that looks great! Do you know if it will have more cities available? I live in Ithaca, NY and the closest city available is syracuse, ny which is an hour away.
Not sure if this the right thread or not.
Titanium looks to be the newest and coolest thing in terms of ROM development but it doesn't seem very good for business users.
Wondering if anyone's figured their Titanium screen to a business-friendly feel. If so, care to share screenshots and info?
I'm not asking about which ROM is best but rather how did you configure your Titanium.
Not sure how you don't think it is "business worthy"
I think it is much more "professional" looking than Manilla... Then again, I've always loved the Zune interface.

What I love about TF3D is the great calendar at a glance. I can also see my upcoming appointments on the home screen.
The turnoff with the Titanium calendar is that I can only see one appointment at a time. I had to keep swiping through to view events for the day.

I too have hoped for some productivity enhancements to Titanium like seeing more appts/tasks, etc at a glance without opening the calendar. It looks like I will be just going back to TF3D soon or the standard today screen with my stable of SBSH apps (once they fix Calendar and PocketBreeze for wm6.5 and hopefully an iLauncher update soon) and phoneAlarm...
i think the chome config will do that to you...
I'm gearing up to get my first Andoid phone hopefully next month, and was wondering if there's a port or an app already out there that's similiar in look and functionality as S2U2?
thx.
There's Lockbot out there ;-)
It has iPhone lock style, Hero lock style, Donut lock style and even flair lock style!
Good new: it's free except uf you want to download skins (which doesn't even work on my magic) or want the flair theme (which is the ugliest one)
and even free version let you customise your own themes
cheers
Maybe "Lock 2.0" many skins available for this app!

Thanks!
Lock 2.0 sure looks just like it.
Yes,you can get a free demo or buy full version!
Just bringing this back up since I just got a new Evo and am coming from a Touch Pro which had S2U2. I have tried some of the options on Android, but have not found anything even close to S2U2.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to get my calendar entries, notifications, texts, etc to show up on my lock screen (it also needs to look as good as S2U2 did 2 years ago).
Thanks.
Check out WidgetLocker.
I think it's by far the best lock screen replacement, and is fully supported by the developers at the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732986
You should just youtube search "widgetlocker" and you'll see many video reviews of it in action. Note: hardly any of the videos go over the fact that it can change from stock Android slide to HTC slide even to iPhone slide to unlock.
And to rs1990, yes it can add whatever widget you can think of including ones relevant to everything you mentioned.
Funny that you just mentioned WidgetLocker. I am actually looking at that right now. It seems ok at this point, but not as polished as S2U2 is.
I actually think that the problem that I have right now is that the calendar widget kind of stinks. I am looking for a widget that just shows any upcoming events and nothing if there are none upcoming. The default one shows that obnoxious white box that says "No upcoming calendar events," which is ridiculous.
OK, I just found Pure Calendar and it looks somewhat promising. It will allow me to put a nice looking widget in WidgetLocker to show my entries. So, I am going to look into that a bit and see if it suits my needs.

WidgetLocker + Android Agenda Widget + Music Mod Widget + Beautiful Widgets = NO reason to ever unlock
You could try CalWidget

You might want to try CalWidget http://www.androlib.com/android.application.net-eggenstein-android-calwidget-qxjt.aspx - sorry I don't have the Marketplace url.
It's not bad. Can be a bit slow to load up and refresh but it's surprisingly good for a free productivity app. And it works well with WidgetLocker
Is there a way to get something beautiful and usefull like S2u2 for android? i think Lock 2.0 is a real flop, widgetlocker is ok but s2u2 is way better... i would say it's the best lockscreen i've ever seen.
There is nothing even close to S2U2 on android. I only miss S2U2 app from WinMo world. There was so many options/customizations..
I agree with both of the last 2 posts...S2U2 is unmatched on Android. I have "settled" on using WidgetLocker and Pure Calendar. It's ok, but not as good as S2U2.
I agree 100 percent with both of you. WinMo was ok... android is great... but damn... i miss s2u2 like hell.
s2u2 is the swiss pocketknife or Macgyver of lockscreens...
Yeap,
I also miss S2U2 from WinMo. I just bought a new android phone (ZTE Link) and I do miss S2U2. May A_C could port S2U2 for android? Does somenone knows him?
The application I think is closest to S2U2 is GOTO (although its paid :-()
Best,
Jº
WidgetLocker, as already mentioned in this thread, is a very capable, attractive, and flexible lockscreen replacement. There are also others on the market.
I for one won't miss the random "won't unlock" weirdness with S2U2, although infrequent, sometimes I had to yank the battery to get out of it as the screen would be frozen after. SOMETIMES I could long-power press and get the reboot dialog and I could get to a task manager and kill it but usually it was stuck.
Is there any possibility that the creator of WinMo S2U2 try to code that app for Android? Or make some coop with somebody who can do that for/with him?
Asked somebody something like this to creator of S2U2??
Thanks so much.

I can just agree to the above, the only thing i miss on Android is S2U2 and G-Alarm. I tried widget locker and i had to reinstall my whole system. When it was active i pulled the right thingy on the locked screen and then it was all black and locket. But i liked it the little i did see when i was exploring it. Now i don't dare to install it again..
EDIT:
Yesterday i tried LockBot but it could not get it to work at all, when i read what it could do it was ONE of the most imprtant thing i miss from S2U2, it was locking the hardware buttons. But nah... no go here either.
I never used S2U2, but what are the features all of you miss so much from it? In the videos I see on youtube, I don't really see anything that makes it standout from any other lockscreen, like WidgetLocker...
The key with widgetlocker is getting the right widgets installed to work with it, but because of that it is pretty much infinitely flexible.
I'm recommending WUSA weather. A Combination weather/google maps app with animated layers. I use it all the time. You can set any location as home. Available free in market.

Latest version of The Weather Channel work fine (just recently updated, previously it was pretty unusable, still kinda ugly). WeatherBug looks really nice on the Nook Color.
My current favorite app is Palmary Weather, it offers a bunch of different information, and the widgets you can toggle between graphs of temps, rain, humidity, etc.. It's a really nice complete app, but no radar.. So I use Weatherbug for radar.
Is there any decent weather app/widget that could be used on a different ROM like FroYo? Neither WUSA nor Weatherbug OR the Weather Channel app are showing in the Market

Palmary Weather, I've tried them all and always go back to this one. It's well worth the price.
Hey folks.
As the title implies, I would like to know what everyone's favorite weather app is. Yes Xda has an article occasionally on the front page that gives their opinion on the best weather app but I want to hear it from those who matter the most (all of us end users).
My favorite, since 2000 has always been WeatherBug but after earth networks sold the WeatherBug brand to xAd (now known as ground truth), something happened that left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Anyhow, I pretty much liked everything about WB except the ads (which I never noticed because of Adaway lol) but I'm a truck driver and I especially loved their radar. It was the best looking radar I had ever seen and what made it even better is I didn't have to buy the premium version to unlock radar.
I also liked the widget would show me my current temperature of the area I am driving through while I could have the temperature back home always displayed in the notification bar.
Anyhow, those are all of my favorite things about my former favorite app but I have been actively searching for months for a solid replacement. The things it must have are
1. Radar
2. Current conditions
3. 5-7 day forecast
Those are my 3 MUST haves. Also I'm not a fan of apps packed with ads and trackers or yearly subscriptions nor having to pay just to unlock radar and other options. By the way, I tried 1weather and its a beautiful app but its radar is lacking compared to WB.
So what's your favorite weather app and why? What makes it stand out?
My favorite weather application will always remain Overdrop, it doesn't have radar (which doesn't bother me personally), but I find it impossible to make a prettier weather application, really, test it and you'll see

Yessir I will check it out. Hey, if nothing else, if I like Overdrop, I could always use it and find myself another app with just radar.
