Recommended Apps and Widgets Specific For Epic

[Vassago]

I figured it would be nice to have a place specifically for recommendations for the Epic. I can tell you already, my best investment was buying the Beautiful Weather widget/app. It provides an HTC Sense-like clock/weather widget with many skins to choose from and looks beautiful on the Epic. A must have for those used to having this information when the phone comes up.

I thought I saw something similar that was free. Anyone know what that program is called. The Acuweather widget is terrible.

Also I miss the Sense UI calendar widget.

i found it in the market by searching "weather sense"

it will show free but you have to pay $1.99 for the program it tells you to search for 1st...install the $1.99 app and then search and install "weather sense" and it will also show a clock option for the flip clock....then go to the programs setting to change the clock/weather theme and setup widget on the "desktop"

easier done than i have typed took me like 3min tops

It's actually called Beautiful Weather. It's a wonderful little widget, even has animated weather like the Sense UI and tons of options.

I've also installed Pandora, Google Sky, Fandango, Gmote (to control my HTPC), Shazam, and Slacker Radio.

The widgets for Pandora and Slacker are really awesome.

EDIT: Weather Sense is a different one. I wonder which one is better.

Is there any way you can post which developer each is from? I am searching them and more than one comes up. I would just like to know which ones exactly you are recommending? Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Which "Beautiful Widget" do I need to install to get clock, weather, calendar? There are so many.

Also, I tried this free clock but it kept crashing. Blue Dark Digital clock or something - think it was meant for Sense UI. I uninstalled it.

Now I notice I have a clock app running. Is there a way to manually edit startup files as root. Similar to a windows startup folders?

Beautiful Widgets by LevelUp Studio. It's on the top paid apps list.
