I use this DeskClock on SGA S5830 Stock custom ROM.

From what I understand, it is from Nexus One, and works OK on S5830 with Stock custom ROM.

But it has two problems that I want to solve them.

1. When it is on horizontal and the whole text can not be seen, (one digit of seconds is cutted).

2. No Weather displays, although it has this function.

How to solve.

Decompile DeskClock.

To the res\layout open desk_clock_time_date.xml with Notepad ++, I use XML Notepad from Microsoft, so that I can see the grouped data.

As you can see on DeskClock for S5830, the value for “android: textSize” is “100.0sp”.

But the Nexus One DeskClock value for “android: textSize” is “106.0sp”.

What you can do, is to change the value for “android: textSize” from “106.0sp” to “100.0sp”.

Then rebuilds the DeskClock and install it in your phone with a flashable zip.

How to solve.

Incredibly, this it was a very simple problem.

I am looking in another custom ROM which was not transparent DeskClock, but shows the Weather. And I found that in this ROM it is installed GenieWidget.apk

So if you want to display Weather in DeskClock , you can download GenieWidget.apk and install it in your phone with a flashable zip.

Done !

Info: In order to correctly display Weather in DeskClock, you must have GPS enabled.

DeskClock with Weather.
