HTC, WHY do you STILL use crappuweather?!?!
it's been POURING since last night on the entire east coast, yet accuweather on both my phone and computer say "cloudy. rain expected later."
it's been raining for 12+ hours. thanks accuweather. why the hell don't they use GOOGLE ugh
Lol. Too bad they just don't use weather.com I have the best luck with them during monsoon season in A2
anything but accuweather would be amazing.
they must have done an agreement to use accuweather for that widget and HTC weather though, because it's been that since the eris, and it's AWFUL. always has been.

Actually, they've been using Accuweather since before the Eris. My Touch Pro 2 came out a few months before the Eris and it uses Accuweather as well. Include me in the camp that doesn't like it. It's ususally pretty good for me, but there are plenty of times when it's just downright wrong.

Ummm.......use Weatherbug?
haha i don't use it for that, i use it for the clock/weather widget (the flip clock) with the weather animations! i love that stuff lol

Anyone using this? And what are your thoughts? It looks really nice but looks like a memory hog!
I bought if shortly after reading about it on engadget. I will tell you this. I was in the world of updating and changing my look on my phone almost weekly. After putting this Launcher on I found what could possibly be the last launcher I will ever use or need. It is extremely fluid, not to mention the eye candy involved. The way you can cleverly add new pages whenever and wherever you want is plain awesome. I have yet to find any true gripes other than it does not sync facebook pictures in your contact list to its widgets. So the events widget, messaging and contacts folder were a bit of an annoyance. Other than that very solid and stable. Hope this helps. And if you have any questions let me know.
Check this thread:

I use it and love it. By far the best eye candy. Though I miss a few things, like landscape mode and animated wallpapers. It's not perfect, but for the looks it's the best.
I'm seeing a lot of people liking this spb shell 3d...and am wondering if I missed anything when I gave it a try and returned within the 15 minutes. The things I couldn't find that I was expecting from being a long time user of spb shell on Windows Mobile, were a true contacts panel, where you can change the arrangement, size, action etc. of your favorite contacts or scroll through their pictures carousel style. With is actually being called '3D' it would be more likely this is an option and I just missed it. Can you easily switch between a 'Home' and 'Pro' set of panels?
I use it and love it too. Great speed and effects. Well worth the $$ to me.
Its' so fast and clean, I can't go back to anything else. Definitely worth all the money.

I like it, but it doesn't support live wall papers and it needs more customization options.

Agreed
Still the best I have used and worth the $15 but lacking landscape and live wallpaper. Prolly fixed in the next release
Eh couldn't find out how to get rid of the Flickr widget thing, plus it doesn't look to great with GreyBlur :/
I can't believe i paid 15 bucks for this =/
I have the new update and i'm rooted. I've been on stock for the past 5 days(waiting on gingerblur 3.0) I opted to try this out yesterday in place of stock.
After about 30 minutes I wanted to kill myself.
this thing is so bland!

I don't buy it... The story is a little too unbelievable, and it looks too much like the Icecream launcher that was available for download here last week. Possibly a skinned version.

Convenient that.
I call fake. The About screen strangely lists "Icecream Sandwich", but on every Android I've played with it would list the numerical designator (such as "2.3.4"). Things also appear more skinned than stock (I would hope Google has a bit better sense of graphic design than what I'm seeing there).

If that was real ICS, you think HTC is going to switch desktops from the HTC Sense one to the ICS one?
I doubt it but it would be cool to see them giving an option.
SUCH BS..
They wouldn't wipe it, they'd send out corporate security to buy the phone back and investigate the theft...
Wow. SO MUCH IMPROVEMENT. Real or not, widgets in the app drawer is nice. Also the home button feature is swagged out. I cant imagine CM8.
#SWAG!!!
Just wanted to share this with everyone. Nice alternative to Nova Launcher, there's the option to hide apps w/o paying for the app (for now). There are a few hiccups here and there, but generally I must say it is considerably smoother than Nova overall. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663

I had seen this one before but for some reason never downloaded it. Don't know what was holding me back. Hmm. Oh well. Thanks for the recommendation. Gonna play around with it for a while and see if it can take down Nova as my launcher of choice.
The appdrawer is considerably smoother than nova, as well as the home screen. There are some nice featues on this launcher for sure, and the hide apps. I already bought nova before I saw the update, but oh well $4 is just $4 . There is some lag in the widgets section with some transitions, but I'm sure the dev will fix it eventually.

I was just about to edit my post and say that the scrolling is noticeably smoother. I'm diggin this one. Plus the Apex Menu is a nice touch since I have Swipe Down to show that menu. I can then change my wallpaper or add a widget from there. Don't know why, but long pressing to add a widget annoys me lol and I never really use the in-drawer widget selector as much as I thought I would. I paid for Nova, too, but don't really mind since I did it more to help the dev out.
Again, thanks for the rec! This is nice
EDIT: Oh, and the infinite scroll in the app drawer...biiiiig bonus for me.
I really am digging the double tap to bring up the menu. But I can confirm it's just the software, friends Gnex also has the same lag that I do.
This launcher is really nice. I think it might take down Nova after all. It has what I need on the phone. Gonna keep an eye on that thread and might start using it on my Prime soon, too.

Yeah I already took down Nova and uninstalled. Hopefully it'll be smoother in the future, but the homescreens and the app drawer with no lag, with all the features Apex = win. I'm pretty stoked for the new Prime that's coming out, thinking about picking it up.

Oh yes. Have a 64gb Prime in Grey. It's beautiful and so damn smooth. Ordered it in November, got it in Feb.
EDIT: Also, if GPS isn't a concern for you, I would purchase a Prime now. The next one will just have the GPS fix and a better resolution screen, but it would be hard to tell the upgrade in screen on a screen this small. I don't use GPS on my Prime, so this thing is perfect for me.

The next one coming out I think will have 1920 x 1200 and the wifi/gps issues will be scratched off. Not sure when it's coming.. But I want one.

Yeah, my wifi was never an issue for me, but my GPS will only work if I'm standing still. I just don't use it anyway, so it's no concern to me and the $100 extra isn't enough to make me want the slightly better screen. I think that one is supposed to be out late this year. Then again, that's what ASUS said about this Prime and it took almost 4 months for me to get mine. Hopefully they learned their lesson and you can actually get it when you order it.

Thanks for posting. This thing is awesome.
Apex Launcher is sweet. I had to change my minimum scrolling time from zero to like 7 to get it scroll quickly though.
On a side note. Does anyone know if Anddoes will fix Fancy Widgets to fit our Rezound screens correctly? The flip clock doesn't size correctly on our devices.

Not too sure if they resized the widgets. But yeah If ind that if the timer is at 0 the desktop seems kinda laggy. I wonder the fps of both launchers on the home screen when it comes to scrolling through screens. ICS claims it has it up to 60.. but it seems like it's 30 fps, that or my eyes are just too picky . Hopefully the developer will address the issues w/ homescreen smoothness.
So I just joined the Photon crowd coming from the EVO 4G(it finally died and a friend let me have this one, as he had switched to the iPhone) and I noticed no one has tried porting a Sense rom to this device. I'm enjoying CM7 right now but really miss the flair of Sense. I know it's purely an aesthetic thing but I've always liked it, growing very fond of it from using my old EVO over the last two years. I did some Google searching about it but couldn't really find anything to help me. I'd like to see if anyone here knows what's required to port Sense to the Photon, and if it's possible, a good base to start with. Any help or sharing of knowledge is kindly appreciated.

most users of the photon are much more technical then the evo users when you look at percentages. majority of the development have been on unlocking the power of this phone compared to decorating it. the photon has alot of hardware packed inside and they have been working to release the goodies and push it to the max.
Sense UI... someone may pick it up, but since the photon hit the market its been all about performance. I for one am a streamline guy. on my evo, all i ever ran was cm7. if you are looking for flair right now, id suggest using a fancy launcher like 3d shells products.

You're definitely right about that. This thing is a beast. I have no qualms whatsoever about the work the devs have been pushing here. It's very impressive. I was just curious if it could be done. I'm loving the fact that CM9 is here and it runs awesome with a few hiccups here and there. Anyway, thanks for responding. I'm sure one day it'll happen.
What part of Sense do you want? There are a bunch of widgets which replicate the clock. None that replicate the flip animation just so, though. Either they won't animate or they animate poorly. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. But Beautiful Widgets has probably the most complete Sense clock/weather thing, although the weather won't briefly take over the whole screen when you unlock like it does in Sense 3.0.
For the lock screen you can do WidgetLocker with the Sense 3 with the ring or the old Sense with the bar that slides down.
fancy widgets is a good sense clock replacement
And Android Pro Widgets are decent replacements for the calendar, friendstream, contacts widgets (the free ones don't look great, but the paid version lets you use launcher pro themes)

I have been using Rain Alert for a couple of years and enjoy it. They just gave it AW capability. Today where I live we have been having thunderstorms rolling through and it is really handy to not only get an alert about the weather, but also be able to bring up an animated weather map right on my watch to see where the really bad cells are at. They have a free version which is good. I liked it so much that I bought the paid version long ago.
