Android - what live wallpapers and clock/weather widget do you have?

As said above?

I found a great live wallpaper called Crazy Colors.

Have not found a better weather/clock widget than the stock S3 one yet though so if somebody could recommend one?

I use beautiful widgets for clock/weather widgets there's loads of different designs you can download. Everything from sense designs to cyanogen designs. Wallpaper I just use stock live some of the added ones can add quite a drain to battery life.

I use Simi Clock Widget which i think looks good with the transparent poweramp widget underneath. The widget shows you the time, date, weather and battery percentage.

Just use stock wallpaper though.

Neither both drain battery like a bitch. Use accuweather widget though but not a clock on the clock is already on the notification bar.

don't use live wallpaper on mine as they are a battery drain tool.

android weather is a good modern looking clock and weather widget.

Thanks for the replies.

I must admit that I have not noticed any battery drain with the wallpaper I have, but I guess that depends on the writing of the app.

You need to create a Google account and assign a CC to that. Once you've done that it's a piece of cake, plus the usability goes up as well.

I have my Google account synced across several pc's as well as a couple of phones. Works really well, try it.

No wallpaper (ie. plain black background), and Digital Clock Widget.
Because I like to keep things minimalist and it's the only nice light clock widget I could find that displays the the time of the next alarm.

Doesn't have to be a CC, a debit card will do.
