[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
the roms without the flipping clocks "flipping" are roms based off the new hero update. the new update increases speed.

one tweak to get more speed was to turn off the flip in the flip clock..

the next best hero rom that still flips is jacs 1.6r2a
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryAhmeen:
Hello All,

I noticed this post and joined. I too would really like the clock/weather widget from the original ROM.

I understand it was taken out to reduce lag, but I don't have many apps or widgets running, and if I could have the original animation it would be really great. I upgraded to the latest ROM and was really disappointed that the clock no longer "flipped". It's that kind of feature that makes the HTC Hero aesthetically better than an iPhone.

Is there a way to have the old widget on the new ROM?

Many thanks if anyone has any ideas!

Hi,

I want to use Manila, but with original WM6.5 popup menu

Because Manila popup menu is very slow, and WM6.5 system popup mennu is quite good.

How can i do?

Tks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] react:
I have similar problem but it looks that manila is there even if I use titanium. The problem is that somewhere the menu can be normal and somewhere else it is in manila style:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jolas:
Using a registry editor, make the following change:

HKLM/SYSTEM/GWE/Menu/CUIHandler and set

0 = Windows default

1 = HTC Menu
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] react:
It worked! Thank you, jolas.

Dude keep up the awesome work:D.... and if you have time could you please post the splater..and swirl...BG for me i love them as they go so well with those clocks =) thx ,Noel
[Android Themes] stellarman:
What am I doing wrong? I bought the widget on the market, installed it on my home screen, pushed the glass.zip file to .../clock/glass.zip, dropped the default skinned widget in the trash can and re-installed the widget on the home screen. It is still coming up with the default skin. Must I delete the default skin? Rebooting didn't help.
[Android Themes] Noel3903:
There is a (install skin from SD) option if you click on the app.......in the Donate Version......
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Yeah, no need to push any files, delete any files, or any of that jazz. The widget has the option to choose a skin from its settings menu.

Install instructions in first post now more detailed and thorough.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Delivered.
[Android Themes] stellarman:
Yeah, thanks. I figured it out. I just hadn't thought to click on the app in the launcher tray.

Awesome work. Thanks.

Edit: requests closed for now

Anybody have requests?

I'm kinda tapped on ideas for clock skins, but I'm totally still in the mood to work up something new.

I'm still a novice photoshopper and skinner. I can't promise that your request will be something I'm capable of creating, but it can't hurt to try. Let's see if anybody has any requests and which request(s) I can manage to whip up.

If any other skinners, themers, or photoshoppers want to throw in their efforts and fulfill some requests, please do.
[Android Themes] akatragedy:
request here

can we get the splatter or urban in green and black 2 match xrom please

edit: you should email these 2 the dev of the widget (manup456 and sir mez have the email addy) he will put them in the app
[Android Themes] blackgin:
Are this themes disponible with in-app theme downloader?
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Alright, working on these two plus a portland trailblazers request I got. Requests are closed for now.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
I was about to get started on your flip clock requests, but I can't seem to find this "xrom" you mentioned. Think you can provide a link or screen shot?

It's so I can see what colors and shades are featured so that I can create a skin that does a good job of matching and complimenting those shades and colors.
[Android Themes] akatragedy:
its the rom made by jac and themed by manup456 but he has a clock skin in the clock skin downloader
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
is this the theme and corresponding clock?
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:

[Android Themes] ccriffman:
I have tried this a couple times, and after doing all as per instructions, it always fails because of no signature.......
[Android Themes] ccriffman:
Sorry- forgot to mention what I am referring to.....
[Android Themes] ccriffman:
I am referring to the scoreboard.zip- after changing to my team and applying, it fails because of no signature.....
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
No signature? It shouldn't need a signature. None of the skin zip files I've provided have a signature of any kind. They're just a bunch of PNG images in a zip that an app available on the market uses.

You're not trying to flash this zip are you? If that's what you're trying, check the first post for installation instructions on the flip clock skins.

@ David

Hey, thanks for the nice skins. Any chance of getting a version of "simple-white" without the black background patch behind the weather icons below the clock?

Thanks for your good work.
[Android Themes] beagz:
Love the scoreboard. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
[Android Themes] crunkcory:
Additional Clocks I created

Here are a few I created. I take no credit for the original scoreboard idea.

Atlanta Braves Clock

Atlanta Thrasher Clock

http://www.sendspace.com/file/akxybr

and finally

Retro Detroit Tigers Clock

http://www.sendspace.com/file/jvhpar

enjoy!
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
I originally did the black patch so that the white text would be readable against a light colored wallpaper. This seems silly since a light colored wallpaper would call for "simple-dark" instead. This is the new default version. Check the first post.

green and black alts added to beginning of thread (2nd post)
[Android Themes] stellarman:
Thank you so much. Looks awesome.

[Edit] I just tried to install this, using the same steps as I did before, and it keeps telling me that they "install failed." Any ideas? Does that background patch need to exist but be clear, rather than being absent (just a wild guess)? Any help would be appreciated. [/Edit]

[2nd Edit] Never mind. I got a corrupted file. I re-downloaded and it works fine. Thanks. [/Edit]
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:

Any chance, you can make one with a red back ground, just like stock?
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Sorry it took a little while to get back to this thread. I bought a new computer and the switch over has been eating up all my time. As it turns out Photoshop CS 2 is kinda compatible with Vista. I really can't afford to upgrade to a newer version of PS, so now I'm considering downgrading my new computer to XP so photoshop runs properly as PS is the main use of my computer.

Anybody have any suggestions for getting the bugs out of old XP programs in Vista? I'm already running it in "XP Compatibility mode"

.

So you're wanting a flip clock that looks just like the default skin that ships with the widget, but you want the black-ish background rectangle to be red? That's it?
[Android Themes] Breakthecycle2:
That's it my friend! Red transparent actually..if at all possible!
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
It will be quite late tonight, but I'll work it up for you.

I'm not adding it to the front screen as it's not really a skin "I made"

[Android Themes] Godson1227:
Hey Dave you do great work with the clocks but I was wondering is it possible that you can make a "girly" type clock I rooted my gf phone and all the themes and roms are not very "girly" lol so if you could make a flip clock with pink skin and pink numbers and maybe even some"girly" weather icons thanks man it would be greatly appreciated :D
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Right on, Pink is my favorite color... really... not a thinly veiled joke lol. I'll get on that for sure.

Not too sure I feel like working up weather icons, though. I'm afraid doing that will open up the flood gates to weather icon requests as well as clock skins. The weather icons and the clock skins are found in separate zip files that operate independently of each other, and clock skins keep my limited free time full enough as it is :)
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Done. Check first page.
[Android Themes] Noel3903:
Looks awesome on the phone man! like the pink and how you did it with such style.... do you have that wallpaper in a bigger size?

[Android Themes] davidemartindale:

Thanks 4 taking time out of your busy schedule 2 do this dave it is much appreciated
[Android Themes] mimic1011:
great work

Can you do something for the black widow theme
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Well first off purchase the weather widgets donate app if you haven't done so already. After installing it, navigate to the "prettyweather-googlecode-com" directory on your SD card. You'll see a clock-default.zip file. Inside that file, there a bunch of PNG images that will make a good starting point and template for your own custom skins. Edit or replace those images with the images you would like. Zip those PNG files back up into a new zip file with the name of your choice (not clock-default.zip).

Other than that, you need to learn how to use photoshop, gimp, or something similar. Unfortunately, teaching somebody how to use photoshop just isn't something that's really reasonable to attempt in a forum post or email.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Sure man. I'm thinking Tuesday.
[Android Themes] kaizasoshi:
Hey man thanks a bunch!! I think I got it figured out, just gotta figure out how to make the image in the clock transparent :confused: Thanks again and keep up the awesome work!!!

I have downloaded two skins and saved them (unzipped) onto the corresponding folder on the phone; but the widget doesnt show the "install from sd card" option & I am using the paid version, what do?
[Android Themes] bert269:
Hey

Copied the zip files to the sdcard directory: /prettyweather-googlecode-com/clock

When I 'install weather skin from SD', select the zip-file from "clock" directory and "OK", I get message:

'invalid weather skin file'....

What am I missing?

Thanks

Running CyanogenMod 4.1.9999 + Dark Dream 0.9.6

Note: Note to worry - got it working. For some weird reason I need to go in twice into the selection of the directory, before it loads it...weird!
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
To find the icons, search deviantart.com for "glasklart" and you'll find tons. To install the icons, I used Better Cut. It's a paid app from the market that allows you to edit desktop shortcuts and choose images as the icons for them.

The wallpaper is the stock hero wallpaper, take a peek in the wallpaper thread in this subforum.

Don't unzip them. Just place the zip file in the directory. Open your app drawer and click on the weather widget donate icon to see the widget settings menu; the option is near the bottom.
[Android Themes] Celeras:
Skins look awesome, however I have a question regarding this app. I was on their wordpress and came across this post from a few months ago:

"A few words about the clock widget since I get these questions a lot:

The weather widget has a background service that updates the clock every minute if it finds a clock widget on your home screen, the service is smart enough to detect screen on/off, and will not update the clock when screen is off to save battery. When the screen is turned back on, it will catch up. Depending on how many things are running on your phone, it may update the clock instantly or it may take a second to catch up."

That seems like a really, really stupid way to sync a clock. Of all the things to be prone to lag... the CLOCK? That seems like the one thing you would NEVER want to lag. Is this how the app still works? I don't think I could deal with that...
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
If so, I haven't noticed any lag. Maybe the lag takes less time than it takes me to enter my lock pattern?
[Android Themes] david1171:
the only time i notice any lag is when my screen has been off for a while, and i am on an exp. rom that has some slowdowns after a while.

besides, you mean you would use this to tell time? i use it for aesthetics.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
done (10 char)
[Android Themes] Celeras:
Why yes, I WOULD use my phone to tell time. What kind of stupid question is that lol, no offense.
[Android Themes] Celeras:
Anybody else have any comments on the functionality on this app? I've been trolling Cyrket for a while trying to figure out if its worth it.. but god knows those comments are so worthless.

Clock stays updated correctly(main concern)? Landscape works fine? I'll probably end up buying it cos its only $1.50, but comments always welcome and this is a great thread to bump since david did an excellent job with the skins :)
[Android Themes] akatragedy:
@Celeras the app is absolutely worth the $1.50 price tag especially since we have our great friend dave making clock skins 2 match any theme u might be running im kinda cheap when it comes 2 paid apps but this 1 is worth it trust me
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
The only issue I've seen with this widget is a VERY easily avoided problem with Taskiller and other task killing apps.

If you use a task killing app, make sure to add it to the exception list for the task killing app. If you don't, the background service will stop updating the time and weather.
[Android Themes] Celeras:
Yeah, saw that in big starred letters right in the Market description. How anybody could miss that is beyond me, but sure enough theres like 3 comments stating that exact problem :confused:

I'll give it a shot. So help me god if it disappears in landscape mode or the clock updates once every 10 minutes.. I will return to give you all hell :D
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Lol, yeah, the market commenters seem to at least 80% idiots. Sometimes when I'm bored, I kill time going through the social networking app comments and marking the "holla and add yur boi at idoit@marketuser.com" as spam.

From:

To:

If there's any Buc's fans out there, I edited the scoreboard version.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zi4wwljyz4c
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
Sorry, I really can't. I made the scoreboard skin modular with instructions for your own team so I wouldn't have to make hundreds of skins for the hundreds of sports teams out there. If I make an exception now, I'll get hit with a bunch of other specific team requests... and I really don't want to make tons of different custom scoreboards.

The steps and instructions I provided for making your own really are quite simple for anybody with introductory Photoshop ability. If that's not you, I'm sure you know SOMEBODY who can put in the 15 minutes of work it would take.

Sorry again, nothing personal, but I don't want to spend hours fulfilling everybody's individual requests for their individual favorite sports teams.

Yeah, I've got it for a computer desktop too, so I have it handy right now. Here ya go.
[Android Themes] JokerAce:
Sorry for the previous post.

May I ask you, how do you actually make pictures translucent. What I am referring to is the Flip_Clock_BG.PNG where I seen files that are translucent. But am not sure how to go about doing one myself.
[Android Themes] davidemartindale:
No worries, man. Unfortunately, a complete and step-by-step answer to your question would be far from simple and way beyond the scope of a single forum post. But here's the short answer...

Varying degrees of transparency is a feature supported in several different image editing programs.

There's Photoshop, which is probably the most common, but also the most expensive. There's Gimp, which is free and very powerful, but has a very high learning curve. Finally, there's Paint dot Net, which isn't quite as powerful as the others, but is totally free and pretty easy to learn.

I'm sure there are other image editing programs that support transparency, but I don't know them offhand.

My suggestion is grab Paint dot Net and start playing around. Google Paint dot Net transparency and any other questions you may have and remember to be patient.
[Android Themes] JokerAce:
I see. I have photoshop CS3, is it good enough? Any guide out there I can use? I wanna edit my clocks badly, with that said, when learning I will remb to be patient.
