Most Sense like weather/clock widget on STOCK?

Hey, I am on a stock N1, I am looking for a pretty identical widget for weather/clock, you know what you see on say, the Desire. What app and what skin can you recommend? I do not mind paying.

BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS

Fancy widget is also nice and it's free.

I've tried:
Beautiful Widgets
Weather Widget & Toggle
Fancy Widget
Top => Bottom = least realistic to most realistic.
However, top=>bottom = most features to least features.
Fancy Widget comes the closest. I somehow feel it's slightly slower than the other two though. Not sure.

using fancy widgets for a while now and i have 0 problems.
I like it the most cause i want just a clock + weather that looks exactly like the HTC one, and i do not want xxxx features that i don't use anyway.
just a clock + weather + you can choose what happens when you hit the clock. thats it.

Fancy Widget for the win!

Beautiful Widgets does that, along with opening the calendar when tapping the date and your weather app of choice when tapping the forecast. Also has an HTC skin thats pretty much spot-on, with dozens more to choose from. Same with Weather & Flip clock. I don't see fancy widget being available for long, HTC will shut them down for copying their look.

Is it just me or has fancy widgets disappeared from the market?

That's the result of a Cease & Desist request from good ole HTC. You won't see it in the Market anymore. They will continue on under a different name and style. Paul has the latest in his r20 build.

I have the final version of Fancy Widget, but not sure if it's okay to post. PM me if anyone wants it.

SenseUI style clock?

I love the SenseUI clock widget....is there something just like it?? Preferrably one that shows the date too

Have a look at "Beautiful Widgets". They have a theme-able clock which looks similar.

Fancy Widget

Fancy widget

Weather widget donate version looks good and had a whole bunch of skins...
My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...

I've got both fancy widget and Beautiful widgets. Both can be set to look like sense however I prefer beautiful widgets because it has more skins and programmable options such as you can choose what apps to open when tapping the weather, clock and date. I have mine set to open my weather bug pro, alarm and calendar similar to the sense UI

Is there any way, any where to get the Fancy Widget anymore? I'm guessing its been taken down...

IMHO Fancy widget is as close as you can be to Sense. BW or WW are off as far as I like. BW is too close to edges and WW is a bit too low within widget.

LaucnherPro widgets

I love launcher pro (i just bought the paid version), but i miss the sense clock and music widgets.
I know about beautiful widgets, but how comparable is it to the sense weather/clock widget?
Also, what's a replacement music widget that allows FF/play/RW/ and shows album art?
Any help appreciated!

I missed the sense clock too but beautiful widgets has a lot of clock and weather skins. I got one that matched more with my theme.
I use doubletwist for my music player. They only have a small widget but they are going to release a bigger widget. MusicGo has a similar music widget as htc but that is foreign.

I use Weather & Toggle Widget for my Sense clock replacement. I used to use Pure Music Widget for the music widget. I don't know if Beautiful Widgets has animated weather like the Sense clock/weather widget but Weather & Toggle Widget does. If you flash a CM ROM they have a few music widgets to choose from with album art and play controls too. That's what I use now.

Good thread idea. I'm a newb, and still looking for good widgets.
So far I'm using Fancy Widget, and Widgetsoid.

Here's a list of the widgets I'm using or have used:
Beautiful Widgets tablet beta
Fancy Widget
Elixir(has tons of widgets and info buttons available)
Weatherbug Elite
Express News
Elixir is the one I'm using at the moment for all power control options, and Beautiful Widgets Tablet for my weather widget.

Do all the Elixir buttons work? I tried the Sound toggle as well as Reboot of Widgetsiod, but neither seem to work.

I haven't tried the reboot toggle, but the sound/mute toggle works well.

Im still trying to find a good RSS widget.

Scrollable News widget is great for RSS feeds. You do need a launcher that supports scrollable widget, such as LP or ADW

I use WeatherBug on my phone and love it but it FCs on my gtab. Instead I use The Weather Channel's widget, it works well and with the largest version it shows plenty of information.
For my RSS needs I'm currently using Google Reader but am not always happy with it. I wish Reddit is fun had a widget.
I also use the stock Power widget.

That looks nice. What launcher is that? It looks very clean.

It's VT Launcher and I used the LauncherProIcons app to get the LP style icons, and bettercut to apply them. The rest is CM7 with the honeycomb status icons addition.

Widget failed to load
How many widget users have the issue of a widget failing to load after a few days, the only solution being dump the widget and reload it.
Not a big issue, just wondering if it is a launcherPro issue (my default) or a modded gtab issue. LauncherPro native widgets seem to do better.

Hi manikin13,
I havent really had issues unless Im messing around with the settings on my launcher. Im using VTL.Launcher and when i changed the dock background settings some widgets went squirrley. I would say its your launcher. Maybe uninstall and reinstall might fix it.

if anyone needs a good news widget, AtomaRSS is definitely one of the best
