For those that are using Beautiful Widgets for weather, does it only report the current weather in your location like the default HTC one, or does it give you the day's forecast? Given that apparently the HTC one is only able to show you the current conditions, on days like today, it would be nice for me to have known this morning that it was going to rain in the afternoon so I could've grabbed an umbrella.

Still just shows the current for today and predicted for the coming days. If you want a more complete weather forecast then Weatherbug (on Market) is a good one. Gives a full forecast for the day and also about a week ahead. Been pretty accurate in the past couple of weeks I've been using it.
 
OK, so I've had a bit of a change around and am now using Launcherpro and only 5 screens.

Here's my current Home Screen, running Android 2.2 (FroYo)

Running Froyo or a MOD Rom pertaining to have Froyo as part of it? If the former then I think everyone on here would like to know how you've got a Desire with genuine Froyo on it :)
 
It's FroYo, Paul @ MoDaCo has a ROM running on the Desire ;)

I added the black top bar as the white looks rubbish on the Desire but other than that it's stock Android bar a few widgets

OK well last I saw on MoDaCo and XDA were ROMS caked apparently from Froyo but not actually full Froyo. Anyway, if it's working for you completely then fair play to you :)
 
It's pretty much full, camcorder doesn't work but other than that it's full FroYo - works really well bar a few niggles but that's to be expected. Hopefully we get more improvements over the weekend

Hi Voltage Tweak
Nice looking theme going on there,
What and where did you get the Wallpaper and how did you change icons ??
Click to expand...

Hey, sorry for the delayed answer, couldnt get on this forum for some reason... :confused:

Voltage Tweak said:
Pretty much gotten wallpapers from Zedge Ringtones & Wallpapers Android application - AppStoreHQ
and Flikie Wallpapers HD Android application - AppStoreHQ.

Then I've used FolderOrganizer (2.2.1) to change icons and add folders.
Free version, which is as good as paid: FolderOrganizer lite Android application - AppStoreHQ

Voltage.

Most of it is described earlier in this thread.

Can you do this with lite version of FolderOrganizer, or do you need the full paid for version?
Click to expand...

Yes, as far as I know, you can do the exact same thing(s) with FolderOrganizer lite Android application - AppStoreHQ

Voltage.
 
Finally... I get to show mine. I'm only posting the first screen because I don't think I've seen anyone use the More Icons app. I LOVE this app. It gives me so much more screen real estate. Also, I used FolderOrganizer (amazing app) to make tons of shortcuts (even direct dial/message).

From a few others, I learned how to change the font. (Damn, that was tough for me - a newbie at android... but I figured it out. Yay! I love experimenting.)

does anybody know how to stop the force cropping when setting a wallpaper? Or, any way of setting a full image to be my background?
 
Here's mine, the weather icon is probably the standout app for me (sad I know).

Snowstorm weather widget - Android app on AppBrain

Ok can't upload for some reason, rooted phone using shootme yet i get the following error

The Dimension limits for this filetype are 620 x 280. We were unable to resize your file so you will need to do so manually and upload it again. Your file is currently 480 x 800.

Hm... ok. I really like the animation stuff for the default weather widget, but it's kinda stupid to me for a weather widget to only show the current weather and no forecast for the day.

Thanks :)
 
Had a change about again... I cannot stay settled :D

I will post up my new set up in, oh, say 5 minutes :D
 
Finally got around to something I am happy with and the time to get the shots. Photo is from my holiday. I might change it to something else but happy with the layout an widgets now. I am using ADW launcher with Fancy widget (Clock and Weather), Pure messenger widget (Email,Text,Twitter,Facebook), 3 audio player (music widget/app) and Extended Controls Bar.

Trying to keep it in a few screens and clean.

Here's mine.. i'm still playing around with Launcher Pro.. anyone got any recommendations for a decent news/RSS feed and e-mail app/widget?

Clock: digital clock (market)
Launcher: Launcher Pro

3G watchdog, APNdroid, task manager

Calender: Jorte

Toggle bar: SwitchPro

Top widget: Transdroid
 
To anyone who has Launcher Pro: Does the HTC Sense actually run in the background when you use this? I'm thinking of trying out launcher Pro since I don't really need a gigantic 'Phone' button at the bottom... Also how about widget adding, is it straightforward etc?

No, Sense doesn't run in the background with Launcher running.

Adding widgets is just as easy as with Sense, but you don't get the Sense widgets. There are a few good alternatives in the market though, such as Beautiful Widgets for the clock/weather.

Cheerios mate, I'll try it over the week but I dunno if I would miss the FriendStream/Calendar widgets. I'm a bit of a sucker for nice design and the Sense widgets of the apps above beat most of the alternative so far, IMHO.

Yeah i'm the same, however there are some good alternatives in the market. Jorte is a good calendar. Not quite as pretty as the HTC version, but just as functional (if not more so).

The Beautiful Widgets app can replace the clock/weather widget and supports downloadable skins.

Aside from that, i'm still looking for a decent News/RSS feed widget, and i'm missing my "favourites" widget a bit :(

But it's worth it IMO, Launcher Pro just feels nicer than Sense.
