Curious how many keep the big flip clock on home screen ? - HTC EVO 3D

I was just curious how many people keep the standard HTC flip clock with weather on their home screen by default ?
I used to like it on my EVO 4G the first couple of months, but then got sick of the HUGE numbers, made me feel like an old man with such a big clock on my screen, and changed to Beautiful widgets clock instead, I run some custom clock skin, and custom weather, to give me that all black and white look. I wish we could make the HTC flip clock smaller, the big one makes me feel like I am blind, and need large granny numbers to see it.
Opinions ?

I like the clock but it takes up too much screen real estate. I'd rather have another row of widget space.

I agree, if it could be shrunk down just a tad smaller, and allow for 1 row of a news widget below it, would be perfect.
I currently run a clear engadget news ticker under my beautiful Widget clock. I transferred this APK, from my EVO 4G, and it works perfectly, just like the stock engadget news ticker, expect with no border, and it's transparent background.

with the clock and current widget size their is more than enough room for a third row of apps, if they just shift them down slightly and take away the app name it would be perfect, leave the name in the app drawer but we all know what the icons do by now it's not like we need to read the name on the any of the home screens

Would be perfect if I could have three rows below the big clock. One for a news ticker running right below the clock, and then two rows for app icons.

I love the clock, I've always left it there on all my HTC phones. I like a clean home page so there's only my Handcent and K-9 mail icons other than the clock. I like the left page also so I leave that intact and then add a couple icons to the right page.

I always use it...kinda why I could never get into non-Sense ROMs.
Really old screenshot from the EVO, but multicon was/is my best friend...unfortunately it doesn't look quite as good on the 3D.

I use fancy widget pro. Clock and weather on one row.

I don't use it. I have a clock on the notification bar and one thing I hate is redundancy. I leave my main homescreen blank so I can look at my wallpaper and each page is themed. One for media like music and youtube widgets, one for messages, one for social etc.

+1 for Fancy Widget Pro, but I use the 4X2 widget with battery % and no background most of the time. Once in a while I use the G-Tab Simi clock for a change.

I used to like it but prefer the simplistic style of Clockr...great app.

Fancy Widget Pro, got it free on Amazon 1 day. Great little app.

A good weather app.

I am a recent android convert, and wasn't a decent weather app. I am coming from bb and used berryweather. I entry my home location to be found via gps and update at regular intervals. But I also wasn't to have a bunch of cities saved to scroll through.
Thanks

^^^ 1st of all, welcome to the Android World.
I have beautiful widgets which is pretty cool.
It has a weather widget which shows the weather like the one on HTC Phones.
Just Google it, Yahoo it or Bing it.
I'm quite happy using the GenieWidget.apk pulled from the nexus one, this gives you 3 widget options to add to your homescreen, news, weather, and news with weather combined.
cheers,
=)

Beautiful Widgets coalited with The Weather Channel works great.
another BW fan here!
I like weatherbug elite...it does what you are describing!
Beautiful Widgets for me, great app and very customizable.
Fancy Widgets... all the way mate.. it looks amazing and its free
since you're on ur XDA app ... maybe this link will take you to the Market... market://details?id=com.fancywidget.androidClick here
weatherbug elite is nice, i dot use widgets but when i open the app it shows a lot of info. they have a free version.
Before I switched to this vibrant I had a 9700 bold and I used berryweather. The home screen thing was neat, and there is nothing exactly like it, but Weatherbug Elite does alot more, the radar is much much better, but you can't customize it like Berry weather. I love in Berry weather , it showed an arrow which way the storms were going, that was nice, but android is 1000% better then 'the industry standard" blackberry.... haha
i like stock froyo news/weather app/widgets
In terms of raw info, weather data, and speed of map data, I have found My-Cast to be the very best. It's clearly the best on the iOS platform, but on Android, while presenting almost as much info, isn't nearly as refined - it's simply another animal altogether, but still very good. I love to scroll through the weather maps.

what app/widget is this one? looks clean enough. right now im using the weather channel app
How about "The Weather Channel"
+1 Beautiful widgets! yeah you have to pay. but i think its hands down the prettiest UI.
I use the free WeatherBug app. It now has an animated radar so you can see where the storms are moving. This one and Tide Prediction are my two favorite apps that I use while boating in South Florida.

That's stock Froyo app/widget which comes with news also. It pulls data from weather channel and has by hour forcast too. I think its the best
For a simple 1x4 widget (other formats are available), I'm pretty happy with the uncreatively-named "Weather Forecast Widgets v2" by Francois Deslandes.
I like a simple weather/temp list for the next several days, and it can be easily configured that way. You can select NOAA or Google servers (I find Google to be more accurate, which is kind of lame when you think about it...)
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.koxx.forecast_weather.v2/
Still, I'm going to give Animated Weather a shot, it looks pretty cool...
Weather and toggle widgets on the market. The clocks and weather are customizable and the animations are great. There are so many ways to change it to your aesthetic preference.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Is anyone else experiencing this on their phones? When clicking Beautiful Widgets that would normally launch say Alarm & Clocks from hitting the time, or Calender from hitting the date, or the weather from hitting the weather, it doesn't launch - or takes multiple presses to launch? Anywhere else on the screen I touch will respond, just the BW area doesn't. BW recently had an update via Market, so I'm not sure if this bug is new. I've reached out to the developer, but have yet to heard from him, and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this too...

[Icons][Home screen] Rainbow Slatz

Hey Guys,
Something I made when I first got my nook (about 4 days ago!)
USed bits n pieces from here:
http://yankoa.deviantart.com/art/MetroDroid-200340391 (raw circle icons)
Some other dude gave me the idea wil post if i see him again,
Achieved using:
Folder organiser (for apps)
Desktop Visualiser
Download the Icons here:
http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff438/androidatnight/
Icons so far:
Settings
Applications
Games
Books
Music
Spotify
Office (x3)
I might work on this to add more icons, but tbh if you want more icons you can add them using the afore mentioned icons from DA, and using an attached icon as a template, I may make some widget skins and lock screen skins to complement this if I have the time
For the set up I use one homescreen on ADW with desktop bounce set to 0.

Thanks for the contribution.
Hey, thats what I was gonna say! Thanks for sharing this.
awesome icons. the zip you provided is empty though
ooops thanks, uploaded them to photobucket instead, dropbox wouldn't play nice
Man, that looks clean! I really like it. So, do you suppose this could work with Zeam as well?
should do, as long as you can use desktop visualiser and re size widgets it shoud work

Awesome! In an attempt to minimize all clutter, I think this would go a long way.
How does it look like when you tap on an icon?
Have you assigned folders to the icons?, or are they just shortcuts to apps?
I liked to use your icons as folder icons. But I don't know how to do this in desktopvisualizer. also the standard folders aren't so pretty.
any ideas?
edit: got it to work with folder organizer.
could you make a office folder icon, that would be the only one I needed to complete my desktop. thanks.
Ill add some more icons when I have some free time
Updated my photobucket with 3 new office ones (same icon 3 diff colors hopefully one fits) and a spotify icon
Thanks very much for the icons, I actually needed the red icon to match the rainbow.
I took a office icon you made and changed the background color to red.
Looks very nice now.
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out.
Thanks for sharing. Seen this on youtube. Will try this on my Nookcolor.
Btw, how many desktop columns & rows did you set for ADW? I'm running CM7 with Tablet Tweaks (mad murdock) and can't get the spacing between item small enough. Thanks
I have this same problem. But I think it's because of tablet tweaks having the status bar at the bottom, as he was using the regular CM7 nightlys... Could be wrong though.
It looks nice by me.
I've got 6 columns and 10 rows with launcherpro.
desktopvisualizer icons offcourse are set to 4•1 and I have to drag them bigger so they fit.

10x10
hope that helps
Links are down.
edit: nvm
Mine caps out at 8x8 so i can only fit four at a time. How did you get it to allow 10x10?
use adw and disable the dock and make it 8x8 but then fits 2 more so looks like 10x10

Anyway to save certain Icons from various themes to use?

Going to flash shostock2 but I like some of the icons I have, especially the neon blue main dock items, the pandora one, the nicer FB and YT icons over stock etc. These are from themes on Go Launcher EX. Is there a way to export/save those certain icons to use anywhere/rom/theme? Searched and can't really find anything, as I know if you long press the icon it gives you an option to import a custom icon.
thanks

You can probably just tear open the theme zip with 7zip and look through it until you find the icons you want.
Also, that's a nice looking clock theme you have there...what is that?

I know took me forever to find a weather/clock widget I liked. It's the 3D Flip Clock & Weather widget, and the 3D Flip Clock & Weather white glass theme pack. Easy to set for multiple areas for weather, and when you click the icon (the cloud in this case) it brings up a forecast. You can change a lot with it too, from the look, to the images used for weather etc. Cool little option to have the battery meter there too and it's accurate.

Once you flash shostock2 you can use GO Launcher still or install Apex Launcher and have the Go theme you want to use installed, long press the dock icon in Apex you want to change, click edit, click the icon in the pop up then "select from icon packs" then pick the Go theme with the icon you want, then pick the icon from the list.

[Index] [Weather widget] Guide of weather & clock widgets

Everybody likes weather & clock widgets, so I was thinking of making a small guide of different weather widgets here on Xperia forum. I hope it will be easier for you now to choose a nice weather widget for your phone.
Enjoy!
You can also post your screenshots of weather widgets here, so people can see and choose which one they like.
Ps. I will add more weather widgets later and pictures of weather main screen, but now I must go to school/college.

Post your Oneplus 8 Pro Homescreens

Title says it all, since there's a "post your homescreens" thread for nearly every device I decided to create one for our Oneplus 8 Pro too.
This is mine:

I've always used Nova and transparent weather widget. I like the shortcuts with transparent weather
I've been reading all about the 1+ 8 pro and oxygen os and I'm thinking of going without Nova this time.
Oxygen OS sounds like it checks all the boxes for me and I'm looking forward to finding out for sure.

I was going to give it a try as well, but it doesn't look like it offers infinite scrolling. I hate getting to one end and then have back the other way. Maybe it's in the options, but I didn't bother looking for it since I've been using Nova forever.
You might be right.
I haven't used that in a quite a while as I've been going with just 2 pages plus the google discover page.
I've basically cut it down to just 2 widgets too. Transparent Weather with the shortcuts on my homescreen and Acalendar+ widget on the next screen.
Now I do like the dock on Nova. I'm currently rolling with 7 icons in the dock and 3 dock pages. That'll be different if I stick with oxygen os.
I saw a video that you can use the old android buttons and customize them to do other tasks. I'm not sure if I want to go back to buttons but that's intriguing to me anyway.
I like shortcuts.
