Hi, just want to report that i installed this to my Xiaomi 11t pro running android 13 miui and since beautiful widgets no longer works, this is great alternative, almost same app in terms of functions. But who knows maybe someone will take over beautiful widgets and update is also
[Android Apps and Games] kesseret:
I have a small problem, it's something that I feel is easily fixed but I've tried everything. Maybe someone here has encountered and fixed this.

My widget doesn't show the background? It happened when I upgraded to Android 10. (I then went from 10-13 so I dont know about in between those 2 versions)

Attached is a picture for reference. Any assistance is appreciated. if this is in the wrong place, remove and my apologies.

Thank you for updating this widget. I've been using it since my first Android and my homescreen isn't the same without it. Thank you soo soo soo much.
[Android Apps and Games] zulu88:
@kesseret You have this option in the application settings.
[Android Apps and Games] kesseret:
@zulu88 what setting is that, if you don't mind telling me? My transparency settings are set to opaque.
[Android Apps and Games] zulu88:
@kesseret I meant "transparency widget background". It works for me on Android 10. Not on Android 11

I'm happy that there's been efforts to restore fancy widgets, but i do have some sad news to report for the official HTC Sense Widget: it would appear that the accuweather api recently got shut off as i'm no longer able to update on my HTC Incredible (and might be the case for other devices running Sense 1.0-3.0, possibly even more versions than that, would like someone to confirm), which is a real shame because i had this phone once in 2011-12, then re-bought it for the nostalgia in April 23' and now it's best feature no longer works
[Android Apps and Games] EdT586:
Use Transparent Clock Weather Pro instead !
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah i encountered the same problem or cloud it be that fancy widgets stopped updating somehow and the skins never show up as well and either idk why android does doesnt do anything about it pretty sad to know that they dont work anymore as well

[Android Apps and Games] P0902157:
I've been tinkering with Fancy Widgets 4.0.7 for the last couple of months now (my latest stable edition down below), replacing various icons/elements with actual htc sense 2.0 ones (ripped straight from the HTC Incredible), but also putting my own twist on a few like Thunderstorms & Mostly Cloudy, and sizing up cloud animations for modern-day smartphones, but i was hoping someone with more expertise can fix a few bugs like where a cold forecast shows the snow icon or how snow animation falls on a freezing rain forecast, other than that huge shoutout to y'all for getting fancy widgets working again because i've really been enjoying this and hope it lasts
[Android Apps and Games] :
hello greetings from algeria and also happy new year too so how are you doing?

i wonder if you have all weather skin files of fancy widgets i dunno why i need them all but if fancy widgets doesnt work anymore we can atleast have the weather skins files hmm? i dont know dude : ( anyway

well usually fancy widgets is quite cool that it lets you do anything at it of changing skins or settings as usual so nothing else

Simply REPORT your own post have someone else do all the work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
10+y and I still cant delete my own posts. BUT I have been approached to be a mod; too much work for free, so I respect those that take up the work. Remember, others have been here a LOT longer than you, so complaining about 1 year being a long time is a little laughable. I see people come and go.
[Android Apps and Games] :
its not like i am complaining tho i know people's message date time where they were posted so no need to tell me even though uhm yeah i think why i joined xda because i think its much cooler as well

oh you're a contributor did'nt know someone like you of a contributor talked to me :) anyway how is it going?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
It's not too bad, and it's very rewarding, thanks to the amazing people on the team. It's been my pleasure to get to know them on a more personal level. Not only that, but it's also nice to be able to contribute to something we're passionate about. It's actually very similar to 'IRL' volunteer work. And let's not forget the 50% pay raise as senior mod, of course 😁
[Android Apps and Games] :
yup
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
We digress! Let's not forget about the topic at hand: [APP] [4.1+] FANCY WIDGETS (CLOCK & WEATHER WIDGET)

And to clarify: no, mods don't get paid. 50% of 0 is still 0 (unfortunately, lol) 🙃

Is this project still alive anyway? I saw a pretty cool contribution by @friday4130 back in August and by @P0902157 this month. Also, do the icons by @AlimanaOtaku count? ^_^. If anyone is interested in maintaining this thread (devs/themers only!), let me know.

Update.... For the purposes of my needs, having the 3x2 date widget in the lower corner of my screen to see the date and day of the week, is freakin awesome since this app is no longer available on the app store. And then I have it set to when I click on it, it takes me to the Google calendar. So, thank you, @akatarmo for keeping this awesome app/widget alive!

The date widget I have been using for so many years is still working on Android 14 on the new Galaxy S24 Ultra!

On my Samsung A52s with Android 12 stock, not rooted (now I have updated it to Android 14), both versions 4.0.7 and 4.0.8 worked fine. I don't know what the problem could be with yours, sorry.

sorry about that :(
[Android Apps and Games] Agret:
I just tested the v4.0.8 on post #168 and seems to work great on my phone, happy with default skin, didn't try any others. Great work by @akatarmo in working out the xml format and reviving it.

I installed the apk, went into app info and granted it every permission available, disabled battery optimizations then opened the app and dismissed the popups. I pressed to save settings to sdcard (don't think this is needed to do) and then added widget to home screen and it just works.

I've missed these old HTC widgets, I used to have a ported version on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus back in the day. The animations look great and are a subtle touch. I like the clouds.

Transparent widget looks amazing against my live wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hmm thats good for you okay dont use a skin at the moment just stay at default if it works like that
[Android Apps and Games] Agret:
Forgot to write in the msg my device is OnePlus Ace 2 Pro running Oppo/OnePlus ColorOS14, it's a Chinese ROM not stock Android. They have 32bit compatibility for Android14 as part of the ROM so not sure if this is why it works okay for me on Android14, probably won't work on Google branded phones since they are 64bit only for Android13/14.
[Android Apps and Games] :
damn how you can not have a normal rom?
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
:)happy valentines day
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yes happy valentines day but why use woman weather skin? lol did it suit you
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
Today I like this skin :)
[Android Apps and Games] zulu88:
There are only two types of skins: 1. the ones you like and... 2. the ones you don't like.

There are no female or male skins 😉
[Android Apps and Games] :
dude the silhoutte is the only one i did not say there was male skins bro are you serious?
[Android Apps and Games] :
hmm any sort of skin is fine
[Android Apps and Games] :
hey zulu88 or nek46 what do you think of this battery skin for fancy widgets its from nykrindc so what are your opinion
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
Battery skin ,I have never used it:)
[Android Apps and Games] :
then maybe try once and see for yourself i will send the zip of it
[Android Apps and Games] :
here
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
Unzip file, where will I put the file ?

Edit I put them in the folder with the skins and not works.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I think you need to create the batteryskins folder onto fancy widgets and it will work perfectly
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
thanks for the tip, the same :) not works ,anyway not problem
[Android Apps and Games] :
hmmm or is the battery not working only weather and clock? in your device
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
battery not works ,weather skin and clock skin works
[Android Apps and Games] :
okay i guess thats it?
[Android Apps and Games] zulu88:
@AlimanaOtaku Battery skin no work.
[Android Apps and Games] :
no other choice then i will just remove that battery skin i sent
[Android Apps and Games] :
looks like it wont be deleted it will stay forever okay i dont care but i give respect to the fancy widgets thread and its alright after at all
[Android Apps and Games] Agret:
ColorOS is the stock rom for Chinese version of all OPPO/OnePlus device just like MIUI/HyperOS is stock for Xiaomi devices. This phone has no global version so there is not OxygenOS available (minor reskin of ColorOS for western/export markets). Closest you can get to stock is if you can run LineageOS on these devices but ColorOS/OxygenOS does add a lot of useful features and game mode controls.
[Android Apps and Games] :
thats kinda uhm well to be honest if you're using that rom then it works fine right?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Ok everyone heres the new weather skins i suggested and they arrived i hope you like it
[Android Apps and Games] :
hey nek whats your opinion on the skins?
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
nice thanks (y)
[Android Apps and Games] :
i can tell thats htc home apis cool
[Android Apps and Games] &Delinquent[$]:
@akatarmo are you still managing the source data for fw? I have some infrastructure available to me these days, so if necessary we could theoretically put together a proper request engine that translates from one or more free APIs and parses weather data into a form that fw can read. Depends on how heavy the traffic gets, but it could permanently sort the data issues we had last year
[Android Apps and Games] akatarmo:
Hi, I have developed a PHP script that works 100% with a free API. This script is capable of converting the free API response into the format needed by FW. I have hosted the script on my server and have done the testing with my own API. The result is perfect. It is only necessary to modify the internal FW call with the already known tools to point to the specific server.

Yes, with the free API it would be possible to implement a system that would work stably without depending on external providers, at least as long as the app is not permanently obsolete in future versions of Android. But, since each API is different, it would be necessary to develop a registration system or something where each user would have to enter their API so that the script could use it.

In any case, when the time comes we should open another thread to discuss this topic. For the moment, we can continue using the current provider, which has not been down for many months.
[Android Apps and Games] :
did you ever know that the fancy weather classic was the default skin when fw was old
[Android Apps and Games] nek46:
hello :) feedback ,today my wife's device sam galaxy a13 got android 14 ,all weather skin by @akatarmo (y) from post #168 works with htc sense home ui.(y) post #340,without htc sense home not works.
[Android Apps and Games] &Delinquent[$]:
Wicked stuff. FW is hit & miss on android 14, I can't install it on my Xperia 10 V. Maybe LineageOS will change that when either I or someone else makes a build, but for now I'm using that sense clone.
[Android Apps and Games] akatarmo:
I have updated the files in the post #168. As I say there, I have tested them on my Samsung A52s with Android 14 and they install and work fine. Try again to check.
[Android Apps and Games] kaoow:
Fantastic work @akatarmo

Unfortunately it wouldn't work for me no matter what on Android 14. Skins now show up in the list but the widget is still fully transparent with just some text showing up. Interestingly, backup/restore works, though the backup file gets created in the internal storage (and not the SD card like it says)

Hopefully at some point some kind of fix or a solution appears.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Wait what How does that make the skin list show in your phone
[Android Apps and Games] kaoow:
I mean the unzipped skins show up in the skin selection. With previous fw versions I would just get "Failed to load skin list" and an empty list.
[Android Apps and Games] EdT586:
Yup, same here with Fancy Widgets v4.0.8 the weather hasn't been updating on both smartphones and Android TV boxes for at least two weeks now. It seems like the app is not connecting to the internet which is pretty strange as it is not able to find location or weather information is using AccuWeather or any of the other weather services. Does this app go through Fancy Widgets's own server in order for it to work ? Doesn't make any sense why it shouldn't work if it does not.
[Android Apps and Games] dr71399:
Fancy widget was working on my Fold 3 then it stopped a few weeks ago what the heck happened I tried beautiful widgets but the unlock animations are not working unbelievable I miss my windshield whiper and my lightning when it's thunderstorms around... anyone have a suggestion or a similar app that was like HTC Weather Animations?
