Requirements

I know this is pretty obvious to most people in this forum, but for noobs you should also include that you need to have adb installed under requirements in the original post. I had no clue as to why it wasn't working until I read through most of this thread and kinda pieced it together.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
i include adb in the .zip so as long as the usb drivers are all installed, the program should use the adb included :D
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
New version uploaded ... no new clocks but i did include a check at the beginning to see if adb is working with your phone or not :D
[Android Themes] JimmyJayCEO:
You guys have any screenshots of ALL the different clocks. Trial by error is fine, but if there was something that would show which one is which would be sick. thanks
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
Now how would I go about editting your switcher? I have successfully copied over my custom alarmclock.apks and pushed, but where can I change the visual selection of my new clocks I plan to offfffer multiple versions instead of the theme
[Android Themes] Senorkabob:
Constant "Connection Reset" errors when downloading.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
well all the screenshots are actually in the program .. when you run the program you visually select which clock you want

to change the visual selection you gotta change the source code ... if you want i can send it to you, but you'll need to know C# to edit it :) just let me know if you want and give me an email to send to

i will try uploading it somewhere else as well
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
nvm not too great in C but ill make due differently, plus i need to get a larger collection of clocks first

appreciate the info tho
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
no prob ... if you want theres also a batch script version that could be easier to mess around with ... except you wont have the screenshots to go with it :\
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
custom clocks!!

New update now has basic custom clocks support ... read OP :D
[Android Themes] lukekirstein:
Hold up a sec :)
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
what do you get when you type "adb devices"
[Android Themes] lukekirstein:
Yeah, ADB isn't working for me right now, so it's not your fault :). I'm troubleshooting right now.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
ok :D hope you get it working :)
[Android Themes] lukekirstein:
Got ADB to live, pushed Ted's Anxziety (which is mispelt by the way :P ) and got everything to work fine!

One side notice though, any touch screen actions didn't work for about 30 seconds. I could move around using the trackball, but not with the touch screen. Another observation, there's no cancel button for selecting a clock :)

Otherwise, went without a hitch and I love it. Thanks for all the hard work!
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
yea i think he meant to spell it like that tho ;) ... ive noticed that as well .. using the trackball to select something usually fixes it for me .... i gotta implement that cancel button .. good call :p
[Android Themes] lukekirstein:

Thank you!
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
hmm ill try and figure it out :D
[Android Themes] Adam17:
This just doesn't work for me and I don't know why...

I have adb working, I type adb devices and it says HT93RGZ10183

I open CWS 1.9.1 it finds my device, I hit continue

The bottom bar on cws says "adb remount successful"

I choose a clock, KDE Carbon, it asks 2x2 or 4x3, I choose 4x3

The bottom bar says KDE Carbon Clock pushed!

Add the analog clock widget to my phone, same one I have had

unplug my phone... no new clock

restart my phone... no new clock

I really want this to work, and I just can't figure it out. I am running a G1, xRom, no theme, 4Gb sdhc class 4 w/ fat32/ext3/linux-swap partitions, current radio and SPL, etc. Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. forgot one other thing, I tried to do a backup just to see if that would work, and it says backup created, then I hit restore and it says "you didn't have a backup!!', I am not really worried about the backup function, but thought that might help with why the switcher isn't working.. dunno, but I didn't want to leave anything out.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
can you try manually pushing one of the clocks to see if that works ...

adb push AlarmClock.apk /system/app
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
New version up ... added 3 clocks and cancel option ....
[Android Themes] linuxrebel:
Another way maybe?

I don't have a winbox, and no matter how much I like many of these clocks I'm not about to go buy one to use this program :p So I did what I had to, and I wrote a shell script that I can use directly on my phone, tarballed it and have it ready to use. One thing I need is a go ahead from you to keep things on the up and up?.

Would it be worth it to post my version of this collection or should I just keep it to myself? So it's computer OS independent. With my method you run it from the sdcard directly.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
Yea post it up ... its kinda like th4r's script here??

always best to have multiple ways of accomplishing a goal :D
[Android Themes] linuxrebel:
Will do.

Hadn't seen th4r's script did use the stuff in my sig. Wanted more eye candy(which is how I found your stuff.) I'm working now on getting this up on the net and I'll post it's location once I have it.
[Android Themes] Ryanmo5:
Works like a charm on xrom, here is a clock that manup made for his first moon dust release maybe you can do something with it, would love this bad boy in there if its cool with him of course.
[Android Themes] linuxrebel:
Got it up. (the no ADB method)

Thanks for the permission. I've started a seperate thread for it at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551609

That way I won't hijack your work or thread. Again thanks for permission.

--Linuxrebel--
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
ill put it into 2x2 and 4x3 clocks and ask him for permission .. thanks for this :D
[Android Themes] lukekirstein:
Did you try deleting/readding the Analog Clock widget? And what is XRom?

Yay cancel option :D
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
JACxROM

10 stupid chars lol
[Android Themes] Ryanmo5:
Hey I'll be the thankful one if you can add it :)
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
made the apks and now just waiting for permission :)

one thing is that the 4x3 looks a little bad since the picture had to be resized to actually make it 4x3 (look at screenshot) ... hopefully its not tooooo noticeable ;)
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
have the next update ready .... just waiting for permission for one of the clocks :)

added a retry option to the adb checker and added 3 clocks!! :D
[Android Themes] Adam17:
Yeah I can do that, I have the carbon one on their now. I know it is not an issue with adb because that is working flawlessly for me now.

And I did try deleting the clock I had completely (alarm clock.apk I believe) and then tried this and it still didn't work.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
ok now im completely stumped lol ... send me a logcat of what you get when you push a clock through the program and ill grab one of mines and compare them to see whats getting messed up :)
[Android Themes] JimmyJayCEO:
Visual Selection

Ok I guess then that I installed this wrong then. Should I have an app for this? The only place that I have an option to "chose a different clock" is through my Astro app. I'm not sure what I did, but any help so that I can see the clocks before selecting would be MONEY :D:D
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
my app isnt for the g1 .. its for Windows lol ... run the .exe file in Windows and you'll see ;)
[Android Themes] JimmyJayCEO:
I'm an IDIOT!!!

Yeah the more I was looking into it I started to realize just how ratarded I was being. Funny thing is though that I can still use it on the phone. I have Astro and I have an option for ALL the clocks through there. If I select one of them and then "add alarm clock widget" from the homescreen I am able to have that clock running on my phone. You may wanna check that out. I just deleted it though from my phone, cause I didn't wanna mess it up. :D
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
thats pretty cool actually .. i might switch from linda to astro (dont know why i even kept linda) lol
[Android Themes] JimmyJayCEO:
Linda? Never heard of that app, but then it sounds like that's a good thing. But yeah it worked for me that way. stored the zip file on my SD card and I'm able to open it, then go to the clock widgets, and then get to the .apk file. I think that's how I did it. Really wasn't hard. Since it worked that's why I got all excited and wanted to be able to see them all so I could choose that way. either way the clocks I saw are sick.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
i looked for astro in the market and saw that it was a beta and only available til 9/31 ... ill think about it ;)

linda file manager
[Android Themes] Chosen_on184:
alright since for some reason alien to me i cant get this to work ... i think ima use root explorer to remove the alarm clock option ..and that should remove the clock wideget and push one of your clocks and see if i get the app back in system apps .. hopefully that works ..will update in a sec
[Android Themes] dudinatrix:
The beta date for astro keeps changing further back with each update.. it's been like that forever. It's not actually limited in any way.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
at school right now but will upload new version later tonight ... havent received word from manup about the moon dust clock but i will assume that its alright with him as long as i give him his credits :)
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
new version!!

newest update up!

some changes off the top of my head:

-added retry option to adb check

-some new clocks of course

-added photo support for the custom clocks (read OP for more info)

enjoy :)

P.S. more clocks on the way .. have to make them 2x2s before uploading
[Android Themes] bboy_201:
this works great!!!!!!!!

Thank YOu!!!!!!!!
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
no prob no prob ;)
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
new version uploading now ... last update til another batch of clocks gets cooked up ;) ... or til i finally complete one of the many ideas in my head

EDIT: ok its up :) enjoy ... 6 more clocks added

EDIT: eh ill probably be uploading a new version in a couple of hours ... one of my ideas is a bit easier to implement than i thought .. lol just some trial and error and ill have it right ;)
[Android Themes] prash:
Don't forget to add the Zelda clock ;]
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
already ahead of ya ;) ... awesome clock btw .. really nice addition to the Zelda theme

cant wait to see what your next project is ... *cough* Naruto Shippudden *cough* lol ... i would love to see what you could come up with ;)
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
ok last version for the day so i dont begin to piss people off lol

to scroll to the clocks use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom .. with this many clocks i had to figure out a way to go through the quicker ;)

and now for custom clocks you can give each one a name ... check the OP for more info on how to do that :)

and again, im still taking suggestions :D
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
ok as long as its running :p
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
anyone thinks they can help me out??

trying to get this program fully automated
[Android Themes] jugg2000:
This is not working...

I get the "No Devices Found!" messege when I start the app. So I typed in "adb devices" (my adb is working fine). So I chose my clock and I get the "blah blah blah pushed" messege at the bottom... good, BUT... WHERE'S THE CLOCK???
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
yea i should really put in another check before the message at the bottom displays ... it shows it even it the clock was not successfully pushed .. but you say adb is working fine on your computer?? ... thats strange since all my program is doing is an adb push ... when you type adb devices it gives you something under List of devices found?
[Android Themes] jugg2000:
I just followed suit with another post made on this forum and typed in "adb devices"... I really didn't and don't have a clue of what I'm doing. I just know I'm not getting any clocks on my phone. I am supposed to mount the sd card, right?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
no you dont have to do anything with the sd card

what you do need are the usb drivers for adb to work... do you have those installed?
[Android Themes] jugg2000:
Probably not...

Did you post a link to those drivers in the first post? I might have missed them.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
not yet but i definitely should ;) ... download the android sdk (google search for it you'll find it right away) and the drivers should be there ... and then search the forum for the instructions on how to install them :)
[Android Themes] david1171:
if you have the 1.33.2005 spl you will need to get new drivers from haykuro's site
[Android Themes] Paulroberts:
the instructions for "connect the phone to usb" could be clearer,

you need usb debugging enabled on the phone

also you need the sdk usb drivers

and to mount the sd via the phone

it's confusing if you haven't used adb before but have used fastboot.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
the first 2 are correct but the sdcard doesnt have to be mounted ... ill go add in all the missin information now :)
[Android Themes] ritdaw:
Thanks very much for developing this app. I have a HTC Hero and although I love the built in clock collection, I needed one of the clocks to be smaller. The clock I like is clock6 (in 2x2 format).

Once I loaded on clock6 I found that its resizing and transparency weren't very good, so I resized the original myself (which now looks great).

I have attached the new apk so you can include it in the next version :)

Question: The APK that is pushed to the device, is it something you have written as an entirely new widget? I am curious to know how these things work.

EDIT: Damn I spoke too soon, when rebooting my phone I now get a force close on "com.htc.android.worldclock"
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
The .apk that is being pushed to the phone is just the regular AlarmClock.apk with 3 images changed (appwidget_clock_dial, hour, minute). I didn't think these would work in Hero, since the original AlarmClock is based on Google's framework.
[Android Themes] ritdaw:
Well the clock certainly worked (even with the force close). It added a 2nd analogue clock entry to the widgets list. Is the AlarmClock.apk something that is included on standard google build phones?

Thanks.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
Yea its included in standard google builds
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
sorry i havent done anything to the program lately ... schools been a b*tch lately and just havent had much time

anything anyone really wants added in anyway?? i havent had any ideas of what to do :\
[Android Themes] mnijee:
question

Dearest Dom,

I need some help.

I'm very much a "nub" so bear with me...

I followed all the directions and what not, got your switcher.exe to run, then chose the clock of my choice. I got the notice that my "clock has been pushed!" which leads me to believe i did all this right.

its just...i dont see the clock. and it's making me really sad.

What am I missing here?

Appreciated, thanks.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
first, when you run the adb check in the beginning, did it say "No Devices Found" or something like that? .. if so then you didnt set up usb drivers correctly

otherwise if the usb drivers are good and you select your clock, then try removing your clock widget from the home screen and adding it again
[Android Themes] mnijee:
yo dom,

you were right. my drivers were effed.

I was having the hardest time figuring out how to fix usb driver. turns out I just had to uninstall and have the system redetect the device, and now all is well.

thanks.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
no prob .. glad to help :D
[Android Themes] satbir7:
awsome......................

very cool program...

Working on Cyanogenmod 4.1.9999?

Hi guys,

I have a Vodafone Magic (32B) with Cyanogen 4.1.9999. Did anyone manage to change the clock on this device / rom?

When I start the program, the phone is recognized and it says the clock is pushed, but nothing happens. Also removing and adding the widget still keeps te old clock, also after reboot. Any ideas anyone?

Ok, strange, after some reboots, now it work perfect! Great app, now I finally have a big clock on my screen instead of the 2x2. Super guys! :-)
[Android Themes] bert269:
It would be nice if.....

Hey

Thanks for this app. It would be nice if you use a compression technique that is supported by the G1 browser (like .zip or .rar - if you have AndriZip installed). .tgz is not supported to download and save directly, therefore the requirement to have the PC around.......Darn PC's!

But thanks anyway

:D
[Android Themes] linuxrebel:
sort of

I've been using it on 4.1.9999x on a g1 without a hitch. Be sure you are root when you run it.
[Android Themes] htcmagic:
i have added a AlarmClock.apk from one of the roms, theme blur, into the correct folder 2x2 but does not add it to the phone.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
in the device check in the beginning did it say "no devices found" or did it list the device?
[Android Themes] htcmagic:
it have listed the device, in the dialogue box.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
ok so you added the AlarmClock.apk in one of the 2x2customclock folders correct? .. and then when you push the button for whichever 2x2customclock you put it in, it does not push the clock to your phone? ... just trying to understand the problem here
[Android Themes] tee aiy emm:
Oh wow, your program is very well put together; I like the interface :) Thanks xidominicanoix

Can't believe I haven't tried it until now hahah
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
thanks! :D .. i have to update it when i get some spare time ... i originally created it on a windows xp laptop but when running on my windows 7 desktop i notice that the font is extremely huge comparatively and that really bothers me ;) ... ill go look for some more clocks to add as well :p
[Android Themes] washjayb:
FYI - This works on CDMA Hero. Thanks

This worked on my phone but it did not work on my dad's which is using a theme and im using metamorph,

Well just reporting a bug, i have no idea if the theme is the problem, but i will flash a theme in my phone too to see if this is the problem.

[Android Themes] okcppcnut:
I need some help with this. I have adb installed. When I go to the cmd prompt and run adb devices I see my phone, but when I run cws it tells me no devices found. I tried moving the cws folder to the sdk/tools folder and that didn't help either. Any suggestions?
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
try updating to the absolute latest usb drivers .. that worked for several other people :D
[Android Themes] okcppcnut:
I downloaded new drivers from HTC and my pc(on Win7) updated the adb as well. It's still not finding my phone. Where should this program be extracted too?

it can be extracted anywhere .. can you give me some more details on your setup? .. i havent messed with the program in a while so idk exactly why it isnt working :\

is it 32bit or 64bit?

[General Questions and Answers] ATZ':
Well, my friend found a XDA Zest which is fully working (as far as I know but i'll need a closer look) and he's offering me to buy for a bargain price. I currently own a W910i and since I'm not a bussinessman i never have had a PDA/Smartphone before and I know very little about them. Would it be worth getting the Zest to replace my W910i?

And could you get it "unblocked" in any good mobile phone shop or would you have to go to a specialist one?
[General Questions and Answers] r8zer:
hi i had this phone and it was not one of the best windows mobil phones, i ended up getting rid of it, and have now got a htc touch hd, as for the simlock, this xda zest is only avaliable on O2 so will already be unlocked to all networks.
[General Questions and Answers] ATZ':
So, you're saying that if I clicked the wee "reset" button it has, it would go back to factory settings?

Because it has a password on it from the last user.
[General Questions and Answers] poetryrocksalot:
No the reset button does not factory reset. However there is away to factory reset your phone but I don't know how.
[General Questions and Answers] ATZ':
Well then how would I go about getting past the password without bringing it to a mobile phone technician?

Because the only possible way I can come up with is using my own Sim card or resetting the phone to factory settings.
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
Do a search for the option to "hard reset" your Zest, that will wipe it of all it's current data and return it to factory fresh for you.

brief google gave the following:

XDA Zest Hard Reset:

Joystick up + Power + Soft reset in bottom (push with stylus)

You can also get back factory settings via menus:

Start - Settings - System - Default Settings -

Password is 1234.
[General Questions and Answers] ATZ':
Yeah, Cheers m8, already done that and hopefully I'll get hold of the phone tomorrow. I'll try putting in my sim card and hard reseting the phone, if that doesn't work, what other options do I have?

I don't really want to spend more than £10 on un-blocking or fixing the phone so I hope that Hard reset works.
[General Questions and Answers] ATZ':
Thanks for all the help but my mate who found the phone returned it to the owner and so I'm not getting it.
[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
!? So it was lost? Good for your friend to finally come to that decision. :confused: Maybe next time you lose your phone, you'll be so lucky.
[General Questions and Answers] User22:
And that is probably the best think you can do, return it back to it's legal owner. ;)
