Nixie Clock face?

Anyone willing to tackle a Nixie Clock face? I have some decent photoshop skills, and some screen captures from a Nixie Clock app on my WP8 phone. It would look great on a watch. I'm not sure if it would work well with a font, but it should work great using a series of images as digits. Is this possible?
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
In principle but I do not know if there is a font similar enough to use.

I use my Motoactive every day I just haven't had time to really play with it until now.

So here is my little collection of clock faces.

I've done a bit of experimenting with Alpha channels and transparencies to get some different effects.

I'm using the indicators like Step for instance to get a new top layer for some of the faces.

As suggested by rborg in his post I started playing with the extra bits in font colour to get transparency on type, so for instance

<fontcolor>44EEEEEE<fontcolor> instead of <fontcolor>EEEEEE<fontcolor>. Gives a slight transparency to the type.

Also the digital clocks look best when you have your Motoactiv clock set to display 24 hour mode.

Have a look at the PNG's and XML and improve and tweak as much as you want.

Enjoy.

Hello,

First of all, it's good to see this page is still alive. :o

I wanted to share my own piece of work, feel free to download and use them.

Mine is very minimal.

I like BIG numbers, they look nice! I know they're a bit off-screen but I like the way it is.

Because of its squared screen, i used each corners of the screen.

Colors are minimal as well, used Red, White and Black just like how the watch is.

Thanks for all the information posted in this page, it helped me made my own custom watch face. :victory:

Note: you can change the HR and MIN hand by replacing the image from one of the folders included on the zip file - just drag them to the "dg" folder.

Cheers!

MotoWEAR theme

Hi everybody, first time posting here. First of all, thanks a ton to all the people that have answered questions and posted info on making themes here, in addition to all the themes that have been posted. You guys are awesome!

Like many of you, I would love to see Android Wear on my MotoACTV! Of course, we all have a few months to wait for that, at the earliest... so, I present a new watch face, MotoWEAR!

Now, I'm no artist, but I can find my way around Paint.NET decently well, as well as an XML file, so I did my best to "copy" some of the pictures we've seen of Android Wear floating around on the web, to make this theme to tide you over on this wonderful smartwatch.

Unzip to \clockfaces\ on your MotoACTV and place the included thumbnail file in \clockfaces\clockthumbnails\ and you should be good to go!

I've tested this out with 12hr and 24hr modes, and it seems to display OK. I may tweak it to get the HRM display working in the "card" area at the bottom, and I also have my mind set on trying to come up with an analog display for it at some point... we'll see...

Sorry for the poor picture quality of the theme... I am not sure how to do this, so I took a picture with my phone and cropped it. Actual theme is not all pixelated!

P.S. If it is possible to do without being rooted, please tell me how to take screenshots on the MotoACTV.

P.P.S I couldn't seem to get the highlight.png file to actually work, though it is present. If you figure out how, please let me know, probably a problem with the .XML that I am not seeing...

P.P.P.S. The .PDN file is included for those that would like a different background image... you can replace the bottom layer with whatever you want instead of clouds, then save it out as motowear.png and presto, same "Android Wear" look, but different background. Enjoy.
[Other SmartWatches] afoxinsocks:
So after it hit 1 AM here, I can see that in 12hr mode, the hour is aligned to the left, and looks pretty funky. Not exactly sure how to fix that, since I don't see an alignment option in the XML, even though the Big Time clock does it correctly. Ugh.

I also noticed that for some reason, I put a black pixel around the "card" area, even though Android Wear doesn't have one there... I have no idea why I did that, and I just noticed it in going back and comparing this theme to Android Wear screenshots on the web. Blech.

Anyway... time for sleep, and if anyone has feedback on fixing those things, I will come back and fix it and re-upload the theme. Thanks!

[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
any luck getting this fixed?
[Other SmartWatches] afoxinsocks:
Hey there. No, nobody has chimed in on the number placement. I did end up rooting my MotoACTV and browsed around a bit trying to find the "raw" theme for the Big Clock face so I could figure out what it used in the .xml file... only to be completely unable to find that particular theme at all. I don't get it. So I'm still at a loss on that.

My guess is thats why the vast majority of custom watch faces in this thread put up are in 24 hour time or are in analog...
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
I have not found that one. I think it is hardcoded somewhere.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
Hi,

I recently bought a new SG I9100. I have owned, rooted and flashed my old Samsung Galaxy Ace before and now I wanted to root my SG I9100 too. After reading all the guides available, most referred to flashing a custom kernel with odin. Unfortunately flashing with Odin increases the custom binary counter, which then has further implications, which I wanted to avoid.

In the following Post however: [Guide][CWM][Root][ICS] Universal proper rooting for most ICS

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28178105&postcount=1

There is a way to root the device described as method 1, which is similiar to what I did to root my Galaxy Ace. That method adds root to the device without apparently increasing the custom binary download counter, exactly what I was looking for.

Now what I am wondering before I root my device is, why would someone use any other method to root his device than method 1?

If there is a method where you just have to copy two zip files to your SD Card and flash it, why would someone go the long way via Odin and insecure kernels etc. to root it's device with additionally increasing the custom binary download counter?

I am asking because most of the guides describe the complicated procedure via Odin and flashing a Kernel, while the Method 1 described in the post that I have linked to is much easier and has more benefits. But this procedure however is not so public. Most guides describe the Odin method. I was lucky that I have found that post, otherwise I would have rooted via odin and messed with the download counter.

Can anyone please explain why someone would root with Odin while you can do it with the CWM method?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
I was rooted with the zedomax One-Click only. Not HTCDev unlock or custom recovery. When I tried running the OTA I got the red triangle/exclamation point that many have seen. This is probably a good thing though, since I didn't want to lose root.

So here is what I did to get updated and keep root:

Feed the Panda to gain S-Off

Install Rom Manager from the Play Store

Install Clockwork Mod Recovery from within Rom Manager

Download [ROM][STOCK] --- Stock Rooted 1.22.651.3 Odexed & DeOdexed (7/12/12)--- to my (external) SDCARD

Used Rom Manager to reboot into recovery.

Used Clockwork Recovery to manually install the ROM from my SDCARD

Phone is updated, still rooted, S-Off and Google Wallet works.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Based on the recommendation below, I would suggest using TWRP instead of Rom Manager and CWM. The idea is the same though.

Get S-Off

Install Recovery

Download ROM and

Install it through recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
I would heavily advise not using rom manager or cwm as cwm does not work properly with our device!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
Which recovery would you suggest? I thought CWM was fixed. It seemed to work okay for me but if there is a better solution then please advise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Far as im aware cwm has not been fixed. I recommend twrp which was just updated. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1675738
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
Can it just be flashed over CWM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Yes. Use goo manager from the market to install as that is the easiest method.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
Okay, thank you very much. Doing it right now...

One last question: Would there be any reason to reflash the ROM through TWRP? It seems to be working fine already.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Nope. Rom should be fine.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] oraclegustavo:
I recently replaced the entire lcd plus digitizer and it was pretty easy. The only problems I am having, and I think they are both related, are that lcd screen wont stick as strong as the original to the metal housing it sits in and that there is a bigger gap in the top edge along ear speaker than I remember with old screen. When I look at the sides of screen I can see bleed along the top and bottom along the outside edges and I notice that the screen is not entire flush along the sides and bottom. I can take pictures if it would help. My question is to those who replaced the entire lcd and digitizer, what did you use to get the lcd to hold strong like the original one?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] santod040:
This is what should be used.

[General Questions and Answers] Master619:
I'm planning to buy a new phone and considering between these 3.

The Sola and Arc s are selling at the same price in my area.

Not much different between these 2 to me, the Arc S looks a bit sleekier but the Sola is newer. Both have promised updates to 4.0 ICS (will there be JB?). The main difference to me is the processor. Sola's dual 1Ghz NovaThor vs 1.4Ghz Snapdragon of Arc S. Which is faster? I don't play heavy 3D games, but will need to open large (10-30MB) pdf files. The Sola has better internal storage (8GB) but the Arc S will come with a free 8GB microSD card if I buy it.

The P is about 30$ more from the previous 2, with better screen resolution and 1GB RAM over 512MB of the 2. I don't quite like the design, but it's not a problem. The drawbacks are the lack of microSD slot and poor battery.

My needs are of a casual user: calls, messages, some web browsing, document reading (as mentioned), normal games like angry birds or fruit ninja, watching music videos,...

So what should I choose? And was I missing anything? Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] Master619:
Eh... anyone? I'm going to buy it soon, so any recommendation is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] trax7:
I think the Arc S would be the best for you then. Sure dual core is better but even a single core with 1.4GHz should be enough. I'm personally not a fan of the newer Xperias - dunno why :/ What are you going to use - stock or custom ROM? Well it's mainly a matter of personal choice - just go into a shop (this is called a market research) and get your hands on both (arc s and sola). Use them for some time and decide which one suits you better :) They are both nice pieces of tech :P And remember that if you don't like it you can return it in a 7 day period - so no worries ;)
[General Questions and Answers] sony.xperia:
if you read more often on your phone, I suggest you to pick the one with bigger screen size and bigger DPI (dots per inch ==> printed magazine has around 300dpi). bigger RAM may also help in this situation.

I own xperia Ray (single core 1 GHz, 512 RAM). I can open pdf file with 30MB size smoothly using adobe reader. But, in this case there aren't many images inside the file. it will get slower if I open a scanned magazine or other similar files.

the newer xperia phone may have bigger chance to get upcoming android updates from SONY (e.g. Jelly Bean).
[General Questions and Answers] z555:
Sola's battery is 1320... It is less than minimum...

- A bigger screen than Sola which will be great for documents and casual gaming..

- higher battery

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lack_android:
com.bn.cloud.svc permission issue: What does a healthy ''packages.xml" look like?

I'm running a rooted Nook 1.4.3, and somewhere in my customization, I've run into an odd permissions issue.

Main question: Can anyone with a Nook 1.4.3 whose B&N Shop is working paste their /data/system/packages.xml here so I can check mine against it?

Main problem: The B&N Shop can't connect to anything. Basically my device has no access to the B&N cloud.

Looking at the logs, I see this a lot:

W/ActivityManager( 1294): Unable to start service Intent { act=com.bn.cloud.IRequestHandler }: not found

Looking at logcat while the tablet boots, I see this related section:

I/PackageManagerService( 1294): /system/app/BnCloudRequestSvc.apk changed; collecting certs
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Signature mismatch for shared user : SharedUserSetting{40597710 com.bn.cloud/10032}
E/PackageManagerService( 1294): Package com.bn.cloud.svc has no signatures that match those in shared user com.bn.cloud; ignoring!
...
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Unknown permission com.bn.cloud.EXECUTE_REQUEST in package com.bn.nook.drpreader
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Unknown permission com.bn.cloud.RECEIVE_NOTIFICATION in package com.bn.nook.drpreader
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Unknown permission com.bn.cloud.EXECUTE_REQUEST in package com.bn.nook.social
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Unknown permission com.bn.cloud.EXECUTE_REQUEST in package com.bn.nook.quickstart
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Unknown permission com.bn.cloud.RECEIVE_NOTIFICATION in package com.bn.nook.quickstart
W/PackageManagerService( 1294): Unknown permission com.bn.cloud.EXECUTE_REQUEST in package com.bn.nook.reader.activities

So my best guess is that I borked something in my packages.xml so PackageManager thinks my 'BnCloudRequestSvc.apk' is wrong and completely disables the cloud service that the shop (and other com.bn.* apps) need.

I've tried wiping my dalvik cache and running 'fix_permissions' from the bootable CWM sdcard I used to root the thing, but still no luck.

I'd love to compare my packages.xml to someone who has a working shop, or hear any other suggestions anyone may have about what may be going wrong here, like why does the Package Manager say "/system/app/BnCloudRequestSvc.apk changed; collecting certs"?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lack_android:
Solved!

I solved this issue by doing the following:

Delete /data/system/packages.xml

Reboot -> This regenerates /data/system/packages.xml (ignore all force-closes, they are expected)

Power off

Power on with CWM SD Card, go into "advanced" and "Fix Permissions" (Built my SD Card using these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466583)

Reboot

Once it came back up, everything was working great!(*)

(*) One small caveat-> After that last reboot, it came up with the 'Homecatcher" app doing something incredibly weird: It was flickering and I couldn't actually choose a launcher... Thankfully I happened to reorient from portrait to landscape, then back to portrait, and it came out of it and began working just fine.

Now that I have the thing working again, I've compared my prevous "broken" packages.xml to the new working packages.xml, and found that my actual original problem was that I was missing a <packace> section for the com.bn.cloud.svc library.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lack_android:
That wasn't *quite* all...

Noting further steps here I had to take to get everything working again after this issue... escapde.

Removing packages.xml and running 'fix permissions' isn't quite the whole story. I also had to:

Reinstall all local apps to re-request their permissions:

[in adb shell]:
for app in /data/apps/*.apk; do pm install -r $app; done

Modify the permissions of all existing downloaded books and magazines in /data/media so it matches the new B&N UID:

[in adb shell]:
busybox ps
... Find the UID that all the com.bn.* apps are running with
... In my case this was '10020', aka 'app_20'
busybox chmod 10020.10020 -R /data/media/Books/*
busybox chmod 10020.10020 -R /data/media/Magazines/*
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] blackguy101:
So this is my first topic here and since everyone seems so nice I figured this would be the best place to ask this question. Whenever I find a really good locksreen picture it seems as having the ripple effect just complelty washes out the picture and makes it look horrible. I realize that you can disable that effect but I personally like it. So I guess what my question is if there is any way to keep the ripple effect yet have HD like pictures on my lockscreen with the original resolution?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] il buono:
I get my wallpapers from the Zedge app and they all look great on the lockscreen w/ ripple effect. It could just be an issue with the resolution of the wallpapers you're using.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
I noticed it with dark wallpapers. I mostly go with dark setups so I had to disable the ripple effect.

Ok this is probably in then because I love dark lockscreens as well =/ well thats kind of disappointing =(

I have tried to put the app by brianf21 on my nook but it wont work. When I download it I can't get it to open and run. I have searched some threads and found nothing so far.

Really sorry to keep asking, but I am not able to see "missing text" in the tools. I have looked in the nook tools and in the apps under tools and I haven't seen anything that says "missing text"? Am I looking in the wrong place or is it possible that I am unable to see that based off what I did to root my nook? I had some problems with my nook auto updating on its own and had to go through a bunch of different steps to reroot it. I'm not sure if I installed everything I need to or if there is something I am missing?

Again thanks for all your help and I understand that it is probably a really easy fix, I just can't seem to find what I need to get it working.
