Modifying Sense Weather - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to add other weather conditions to Sense? Today for example it comes across as "Dreary". I was like, WTF does that mean - weather-wise? I looked it up - it's an adjective: Dull, bleak, and lifeless; depressing. Anyway, I would not characterize the weather as that - it's more dusty than anyting. When I looked at my Rainmeter desktop I see it gives me more of an accurate weather reading - "Blowing Dust" - it pulls from weather.com. Is there a way to add other weather types like this? Or change where Sense is pulling it's weather information form?

I'm afraid you have to put up with the dreary weather
There are quite some third party weather apps, but the built-in HTC one is not hackable as far as I know

That's what I figured. Been using Sense, since it was TouhFlo, so I figured I've give XDA a shot. If they haven't hacked it, no one has...

SMS/GMAIL/Missed Call Widget

Hi Everyone,
I've seen a really nice widget floating around that was designed using Tasker for notification on your lock screen, in tandem with widget locker. It's simple text based widget with 3 rows, one for each notification. I was wondering if anyone has come across a similar themed widget designed outside of Tasker? I don't have a lot of use for Tasker and am hesitant to spend 6.99 on it, for one use. It looks like what you can see on the homescreen in the following image.
Thanks!

you can use go launcher ex with go launcher ex notification to get sms/gmail/missed called count.
I am actually quite suprised there is no widget for this.
I know, right?! It seems like such a basic widget?

Does Gmail App provide an API so other apps know that you have new unread email?
If you only want to see your last call, missed call, unread text message, etc, give “Last Call Widget” (on Market) a try.
Get SMS Unread Count from market. Widgets for sms, email, and calls. Can use custom icons also.

The screenshot provided looks a little like "missed it" from the Android Market isn't it??

DOWNLOAD
downloading right now....will be back with feedbacks...btw,where did u find it???looks cool....thanks
I have been using that for a long time, but it has some way to go still:
Pros:
- Looks good
- Able to update the location properly. When travelling, it actually updates the location accurately.
- Has a lot of skins and fonts to go with a lot of themes you might be using
- Free App
Cons:
- Memory use is very high. ~25MB. It was fixed in one of the versions (~8MB), but it is again back to 25.
- Day and night calculation is bugged. It will show the Sun icon during the night and vice-versa. The dev claimed to have fixed it, but, its not, for me.
- Local time showed in the weather forecast screen is off by half an hour. (Probably because I am in a GMT +x.30 Zone)
- Skins are just colour variations of the clock. I would have expected some 'proper' skins, and, the ability to change the colour via a picker.
Sorry (I need this word very often, but i mean it seriously)
Is there a widget like this (or even better), with 3D Flip clock and weather, which i can place on the desktop (i don't have the right word for the android screen), and when i tip with my finger on it, it shows the normal clock (Clock, Alarms..) options.
Thanks for your answers.
looks awesome will download

[Q] Weather Widget Animation...How to disable

I have looked and looked...I dont have a clue as to how to disable the animation on the widgets...
I couldn't find a setting to disable that either.

I had this same thing happen to my phone. When I got the phone, I never saw the weather animations. Since I don't use the big digital clock that comes default with the phone, I don't even use the HTC weather stuff on the phone.
This morning when I turned on the screen, there was like sun sprite that showed up in the top right hand of the screen. Thought it was a bit weird and I had never seen it before.
As the morning went by, I started to look to see what was causing it. Then I started seeing clouds as well.
I looked at a lot of "fixes" for this, and nothing worked.
Eventually, I ended up freezing the HTC weather stuff, rebooted the phone and the animation was gone.
Not really sure what caused it to start showing up in the beginning, but I had not seen it since I first got my phone last Thursday until this morning.
Attached shows what I froze using Titanium Backup. You need root to do this.

BTW, I am a weather nut, so I do look at weather on my phone. I have my own weather station and a number of standard and mobile sites etc... I just don't ever use the HTC Weather stuff because I am more interested in MY stations weather rather than the generic weather in the area.

Weather widget that shows hourly weather conditions?

Like the title said, is there a weather widget that shows the hourly conditions as well as 5-7 day forecasts?
Thanks!
you can download HD widgets from the market that provides a big clock with weather and another widget with 5 or 7 days forecast but it will cost you 1,99€..
I have weather widgets right now and am using the template that has the clock and weatehr for one day only because it only took up half the space on my homescreen, the one with clock and 5 day weather takes up a whole page.
I downloaded the beta of Recast, and i really liked it.
It's out on the market now, i think i will buy it too.
It can be found here
I added a screenshot to show you what it looked like on my phone, just to give you an idea.
There are many widget layouts to choose from as well as different styles and additional styles you can download through the app.

If anyone's still looking, I made one - because I was annoyed that none of the weather widgets had a sensible hourly weather forecast.
Search Google Play for "Hourly Weather Widget" (exact title), its a couple rows down the results.
bbc weather is good!

Weather Underground has long been the best weather app in the entire world. Even China! Recently they got a massive overhaul and redesigned the entire app. With a new user interface, you'll love the way information is displayed. Who said charts and numbers have to be boring? This app is a great example of how you can take a lot of data and pair it with a great design. Check out these screenshots.
Right on your front page, you'll be able to see the weekly forecast, the amount of daylight hours for the current day, visibility, humidity and you can even listen to the weather broadcast system for your area.
Of course any decent weather app will come with some sort of widget for your homescreen. WU has some great widget options that look just as good as the app UI.
If you're looking for a fantastic weather app, give Weather Underground a try. It's also worth a look even if you're just checking it out to see the new design.

The redesign is the major reason many stopped using it or never updated it.
I wish they would make it have all the important info on one screen without need to scroll...
-top 1/2 weather map, animated by default, remember my preferred zoom and center postion (current map is a too small)
-middle 1/4 current temp and conditions
-bottom 1/4 5 day forecast
