The default XPS weather widget is the best and most accurate from many that i have tested !

But it can't follow your location

For the UK the metoffice one is the best by far.

Yes i agree but what is the benefit to track the weather when you drive ??
There is not significant changes to see in a weather app when you move
and what you do ? will always read mobile screen for current weather position and changes ?
But if you like just add another position in widget to track weather changes.

We went to the lake district in April and because the metoffice app knew exactly where we was based on cell location it gave us weather reports broken down into hourly chunks for all around us and we used it to dodge the rain for 5 days.

okay umm
clock: Advanced Clock Widget
calendar: Simple Calendar Widget
calendar (on home screen): Minimalistic Text
the shortcuts: Simple Text
data counter: 3g watchdog (paid version)
battery: circle battery widget
Its really hard for me to explain to you how i achieved it. I really spent alot of time figuring out whats this and that. I would recommend you try to youtube it if possible. otherwise i would be writing an essay explaining how to use the app.
no worries, it took me hrs but im sure you can understand it without any issues

Use simple text and add a Shortcut, not a Widget, you can then move to the dock

lol thanks
the circle battery widget doesnt show how much time left till full charge or what. it just charges and the number goes up. ex. 45,46,47,48...
and you can just set what ever color you want depending on what you consider is "normal" "warning" "critical" "charging" and "charged"
the attached file shows what it looks like with the hollow circle and full circle

yea basically what he said.
add(press and hold on the homescreen) > shortcut > simple text
or
add > widget > actions > shortcut
it took me a while to figure out the coordinate so that the words lies ontop of the line.
i think x-coor=0 and y-coor=110. text size was 40.
and dont auto scale it ruins the word. ;l

Thank u for your share but first of all everything 'GO Launcher Dev Team' creates is taking the devices originality its my opinion and the other think is i really dont want any background panel just with simple letters the hour and the battery level and weather option when u pres the weather section.

Sure. I forgot to mention that these widgets (at least the weather widget) will not work on GB roms. They were lifted out of Asus tablets which came with HC but will work just fine with ICS roms.
If you have GB rom. You can stop here and decide if these widgets are worth awhile for you to upgrade.
If you have ICS you can read on.
First, you need to get a root explorer app. I use the RootExplorer but any app that will let you access root folders will do.
Move the weather and deskclock apks to /system/app folder. There should already be a deskclock.apk in there so you will want to either make a copy to another location (for safe keeping) or just rename the one that is in there as deskclock.apk.tmp. Now move the new apks into this folder.
Next thing you need to do is to change the permissions of these newly placed apks. You need to set them rw_r__r__ (r_read, w=write)
Reboot and now you should see the weather and deskclock widgets as selectable widgets.
Enjoy.

Hit the menu button while in the editor and go to settings; there you will find the option to either enter your location (ex. Los Angeles, CA), or use auto detection of location. Hope that is what you were looking for!

Try Make Your Clock Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock.pro and tailor clock widget that 100% meets your needs.
Free version (with less elements) is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
More info about app at http://www.makeyourclock.com/
Comparing to UCCW it consumes less battery and some people find it's interface more intuitive than in UCCW.
I have the samsung Galaxy player 5.0 as well and I use Beautiful Widgets this is a paid ( 2 bucks ) widget but well worth it. They have also added a web site so you can customize your own clock style and background for your widget.
Yeah, get Beautiful Widgets, find a good clock skin, make it's background transparent, use the battery instead of the weather icon (you can still check weather by clicking on the widget), enjoy.

4.2 Digital Clock Widget!

There's a thread regarding Gapps 4.2 and stuff from Nexus 4 dump which contains almost all goodies including wallpapers, sounds, apps etc but I can't find new Digital Clock Widget in it although it has new analogue clock widget included but not the digital one, can anyone help in this regard that where we can find that new sexy looking digital clock widget, thanks!

This should be the APK for the digital clock widget.

I tried 3 apks of this clock, and the one that didn't work was yours. though none had digital clock widet
would love this too
The APK from the 4.2 system dump didn't have the full features, but now the version from AOSP does have the digital clock widget option. I attached the AOSP version here.
However, I get an error message when trying to use the digital widget. The analog widget works fine, and the clock/timer/stopwatch features also work fine. Just can't use the one feature you are looking to use I am still on JB 4.1.2, so maybe that is the problem?
If anyone on 4.2 can confirm that this APK works for the digital widget, that would be great. Or people on other versions of JB/ICS can try and see if they get the same results.

I get exactly the same here. Everything works fine, except for the digital widget. Another confusing thing is the widget is 2x3 sized

Hmm, that is frustrating. And I agree it is confusing about the 2x3 widget size, strange decision by Google.
Are you running 4.2 and getting that error, or are you also on a lower version like me?
@ecs1984, it's 4.1.2, aokp. i've already tried the 4.2 launcher, it doesn't change anything, error loading widget:crying:

Then choose 'SELECT OBJECT'.

And now select the format, you want.

sorry, double post; wasn't my intention.
Damn, looks nice. Thanks for the link!
if anybody is interested, i adjusted the uccw skin to make it more suitable for 2x1 and added hotspot to open clock on tap here is the link: http://db.tt/pMqnLK6n
I've added the date line and made slight font and alignment adjustments to closer resemble the original widget.
I've also added a hotspot over the date which should launch the calendar but you may have to change that if you're not running CM 10 since the calendar app name can differ between ROMs.
Here's the download link.
EDIT: Found this app.

[theme] unique homescreen

Greetings!
Tired of the same layout of your home screens? want to try something new?
Well, I present to you my modified home screen - VECTOR UI
All that you need in one homescreen! PLUS a unique combination of widgets and arts!
AVAILABLE IN WHITE AND BLACK VERSIONS
Well, I initially made it for my Xperia Acros S but the ofcourse, I made one for you all to share it!
Tell me if you want to try it and I'll post a tutorial how to do it im just sharing..
The pebble inside the circle serves as the icon, once tapped, it'll open the app as named and
ofcourse, once social networking site's name was tapped, it will open as well
​
TUTORIAL
TUTORIAL:
You need to be very patient in doing this one.. but it worth it!
=====
• REQUIRED APPS:
Nova Launcher/Prime – recommended for swipe down to see status bar
Desktop Visualizer
Zooper Widgets
Eye in the Sky widgets
UCCW
Multipicture Live Wallpaper
and a bit patience
If you prefer BLACK : Download the base image from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/amTEerYVBI#f:BlackFinal copy1.jpg
if your prefer WHITE ownload the base image from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/amTEerYVBI#f:WhiteFinal copy.jpg
UCCW Battery:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gbrdcjow96x8vz5/tywsIacwNv/bat.uzip
Put it in your SD Card.
=====
APPLICATION SET-UP/SETTINGS:
NOVA LAUNCHER:
• 12×12 desktop grid
• Hide status bar
• Hide dock/disable
• Gesture down for status bar (optional prime)
• App label = disable/do not show
————-
Multipicture Live Wallpaper (MPLW)
Menu bar/tap and hold desktop – wall paper – live wall paper.
• Make sure the common settings – Crop/Resize Ratio is FIT TO FULL SCREEN
• Screen 1 settings – picture source – select the file (white or black depends to ur phone)
APPLY WALL PAPER.
———-
EYE IN THE SKY WIDGETS
• Select the forecast and customize your desire color.
I prefer teal since it matches the font color for text/calls/mail
• It will display the icons of clouds etc… so i made it thinner to hide the clouds
—————-
UCCW – battery/sms/call/mail count
• Download from https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsxcsiycw5mwhj1/bat.uzip
• Copy to /sdcard/UltimateCustomClockWidget folder
• I assume you know how to use it and import as file the uzip file… resize to match/aline with text/calls/Mail
(ask me if you do not know how to use UCCW.. search first)
————————-
DESKTOP VISUALIZER
• Basically, the marbles inside will serve as the app icon.. so we need blank PNG.
download at https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzmnntu3ewb5x75/Copy of blank.png
• Always select 1×1 DeskVis widget and just resize it to fit the icons.
just set up the widgets(do not configure yet to avoid confusion) see image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8exa8nzsqewttre/tutDV.png
• after polotting, then configure each one, icons will be the BLANK PNG and select the app to launch
• select NONE for the touch effect
• Clear label text/name
• Vibration, select on or system/haptic
do that for all of the DV set ups and lastly..
tap and hold on anywhere (not with the widgets) Nova actions, select APP Drawer.
just fit it near the APP marble and for the icon, select blank as well.
Go to nova settings again and lock desktop to avoid moving invisible DV widgets.
I almost forgot, for zooper widget.. just select the default from the list and modify the location/colors if you want too… recommended to select 5×1 above size.
DONE…
thanks and enjoy.. comment for any help.

yeah.. TIP: you can add another set of screen on MPLW and select the other color variant... so you'll have both black and whiite by swiping left ryt
It looks awesome, but I've already wasted so much of my time on making UI tweaks only to lose them when I switch ROMs.
Is there anyway to backup the homescreen settings, so when you flash a new ROM homescreen settings can be restored?
I tried many diff backups and nothing has worked. All I get is blank boxes where the icons were.
Thanks!
@emompong You could use Buzz Launcher to share your homescreen though?
wow looks really awesome!! gonna try ASAP!!

Weather Widgets

If you use a weather widget that does not show the time please post a screenshot and the name of the widget.
I wish there were more like this. There's a clock in the status bar, so I don't need another one on my screen.
Currently using SimpleWeatherWidget for location and Weather, Beautiful Widgets for Day and Date.
Here's mine. I use Today Weather.
I want the one from my S5, infact I want the icons also.
