LG Weather Widget from Optimus 2X Extracted, Available for Download

The weather widget in the new LG Optimus 2X is pretty slick. It has gotten a lot of attention, but sadly was tied specifically into that one phone, and LG never made it available for public consumption. However, XDA-Developers member Sony_Ericsson_X10 has found a way to pull the correct .apk file out of the Optimus 2X system dump files to make it work on any Android phone. The only caveat, as he mentions, is that default behavior is to take up the entire homescreen, so it'll take a custom launcher like LauncherPro to resize the widget to take up only half — as seen in the picture above. If you're looking for a new (pretty!) weather widget, head over to XDA and give it a try. Let us know your thoughts!
