[Android Apps and Games] hodge24:
Strange Clocks is a set of Home Screen Widgets, each of which calculate and display the time in an unusual way. If you're a little bored with the conventional method for telling time - whether it be Analogue or Digital - then there may be a clock widget here for you. If not, please let me know, and I'll see what I can do about creating a new widget.

Widgets Included

1. Binary Clock - Displays the time in Binary, by converting H:M:S into "Binary" values. (3x3 Widget)

2. Decimal/Metric Clock - Displays the time using a Decimal clock - the day is split into 10 hours, which have 100 minutes. Each Centiminute has 100 seconds. (3x1 Widget)

3. Hexadecimal Clock - displays the time in Hex (base-16) format. (3x1 Widget)

4. Octal Clock - Displays the time in Octal (base-8) format. (3x1 Widget)

5. Percent Clock - Displays the percentage of the day passed. (3x1 Widget)

6. Reverse Percent Clock - Displays the percentage of the day left. (3x1 Widget)

7. Backwards Analogue - A standard Analogue clock, running in reverse/mirror image. (3x3 Widget)

8. Word Clock - Displays the time in words (3x3 Widget)

9. Angle Clock - Displays the time as an angle value in Radians - i.e. the angle each hand would be on a standard Analogue clock (3x3 Widget)

Notes

There is a Free and Donate version available. The Free version is fully functional, contains all the clocks, and the Blue/White LCD combination. The Donate version allows you to choose from four LCD background colours and Three LCD Text colours, and has no ads on the information/preferences page (Ads in the Free version DO NOT appear in the widgets).

NOTE

: By default, the widgets will run in "Seconds Mode", meaning they update every second. They can also run in "Minute Mode". To do so, open the Strange Clocks app from the Application Drawer, and click the Preferences button, then un-tick the "Update Seconds" option.

Widget Width

: All of the widgets a have a width of 3. Many 'phone homescreens use 4 columns, but also allow you to resize a widget. Resizing any Strange Clock widget to use 4 columns will centre the clock on the screen - the widget itself will remain the same size.

EXPLANATION FOR PERMISSIONS USED:

Network communication - (FREE version only) used solely for retrieving the Ads on the Information page

Phone calls - to detect when the 'phone is being used for a call, so that clock can pause.

System tools - Two things. i) to detect when an application is running, and pause the clock if one is running. ii) To detect if the 'phone is on the Home Screen - clock only runs when the Home Screen is active.

I welcome any feedback and suggestions. If you find any bugs, or have any ideas, please feel free to post a reply.
