OK -

so first, where did I say I was never interested in this phone? If you care to take a look at my posting history you will see I'm desperate for a phone with a keyboard. (ROM issue aside) I did take a look at this phone but the screen is just a little too small for me and I just don't personaly like Android. If this is your ONLY argument, then you know you really have no argument - move along please, nothing to see here.

Second, you seem to be missing the grand picture. You see all those subforums for each phone right? Pay particular attention to the "ROMs" subforums for EACH phone.... delete them. IF I understand this correctly, none of the new phones (assuming they all employ this) will have cooked ROMs. Why do you think most of us are here? Thats right, because HTC ROMs out of the box are crap... cooked ROMs have certainly saved my use of HTC phones and to be honest, are one of the priamary reasons I would buy a HTC phone (and have!).

Third, if you had any idea what I was talking about you would know that this is not so much about the "phone" itself but the very fact that cooked ROMs will no longer be possible. If it was about the phone, I would have posted it in the G2 section.

So in summary, (and this might be hard for you) please, try to focus on the new "feature" of the phone rather than the phone itself. Also, try to stop assuming facts like I was never going to buy this phone and really, if this is the best discussion point you can bring, please use the "unsubscribe" option - do us all a favour. :(

Death, I'll take your lack of acknowlegdment or response to this post as an appology. ;)

No problem, its OK.

Would you, have to?

I don't "feel" it is illegal. I don't believe it is wrong - but they have the legal right to tell me it is. that doesn't mean i won't do it anyway - I just don't lie to myself and say it is allowed... even if I believe that it should be.

there's a difference between recognizing the law and following it. I'm not saying I don't agree, that it sucks that they will lock out ROMs. BUT - I've got my Evo and it will last me for years, so i really don't care.

it's called reality. I'm not arguing that your opinion is wrong - i'm highlighting that it is just your opinion, and in this world they don't mean much.

tell you what though - you go ahead and organize the rally and once you get more than 1,000 people signed up i'll join.

let me know.

Hi Mr Anon,

I must have missed the bit where I swore....? I remember putting a few **'s in... oh wait, I wasn't swearing there, just pointing out that I used **'s.... er.... um.... oh dear. They are used much like Beeps on tv....:rolleyes:

Whatever, its only a forum, gues must be the end of the world to lose access for "beeps"

I was modding my widget locker the other day to change the bottom slide bar, and i was looking for different ideas and i came across "Typophone 4," its a lock screen for a jailbroken iphone 4. I thought the concept of typographic clock and date would make a really good 4x3 or 4x4 widget and i would be appreciative if someone could throw something simple together.

Thanks

Ive attached a copy of what it looks like
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Hmm, like this?

No config there yet... just thrown together rather quickly :o
[Android Apps and Games] niscrome:
Looks pretty good with widgetlocker. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
There are still a few kinks... for example, long day names get cut off. But I'll work on it :)
[Android Apps and Games] niscrome:
Can you add 12 hrs?
[Android Apps and Games] blackalice:
Awesome, been looking for something just like this! Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] guitargler:
This is excellent, I'm using it now. I'm subscribing to this thread, can't wait to see where this goes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Thanks for the support :) New version should be ready tomorrow... time is a bit tight atm
[Android Apps and Games] LudoAnders:
I get numbers instead of names for month and day, is that a language problem or do I need to change the settings of my date configuration?
[Android Apps and Games] vide infra:
thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] fliparsenal:
would really love to try this but cant install the .apk with appmonster. i get "there is a problem parsing the package"
[Android Apps and Games] The_Tech_Ninja:
Works great for me, any chance of 12 hr clock?
[Android Apps and Games] zHk3R:
Very nice.

It's probably because of my font (NeutraFace) but everything is cut off 50 %.

Either way; Nice clock :D
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Currently it is using an absolute (pixel based) layout. I need to come up with some formulas to make it screen- and font-independent. Please be patient :)
[Android Apps and Games] landwomble:
very nice. make it play well with 180 and 200 lcd density settings (i.e. option to make huge!) and I'll be a very happy man!
[Android Apps and Games] rycheme:
This is great, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Here we go...

* should be density-independent

* more space for long strings

* 12hr mode optional
[Android Apps and Games] LudoAnders:
It was indeed a language issue, looks fine now :)
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
when i try to install it, it says there is a problem trying to parsing it?
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
It's now signed and built for Android 2.1
[Android Apps and Games] andyriot:
This is fantastic! However, with my custom font there are still some alignment issues. What do you say the next version has the option to input offsets for the various elements?

For example, based on my screenshot below, I would like to be able to set the padding between "13" and "WEDNESDAY/2010" as to decrease the gap and keep uniformity.

Another example/idea, in reference to placement of "PM", would to be able to set a vertical and horizontal offset. IE: -2,-4 might work well for me to better align it inside the colon.

Thank you very much for your efforts in this, im sure it will be popular once polished!
[Android Apps and Games] kuherrm:
Thanks so much,really diggin the clock
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
That actually seems to be the only viable option... the whole layout collapses if the font is changed, since the font size only defines the height of the glyphs. It is absolutely impossible to set, for example, the AM/PM field to the right position for every imaginable font.

So yes, it would be necessary to implement some kind of offset-adjustment. If I'm not mistaken, the vertical positions can't be wrong, so only the horizontal offset of the Day's name and the year need to be adjusted, plus horizontal and vertical for the AM/PM.

Oh, btw: since probably no one is using fixed width fonts, the offsets would need to be permanently adjusted. In you case, the gap will be smaller once we hit the twenties of days :)
[Android Apps and Games] vaughnhcky89:
hey man looks really good so far, thanks for the work
[Android Apps and Games] guitargler:
I think an option to hide the AM/PM altogether would be nice too. I can tell whether it's morning or afternoon, and I personally think the AM/PM detracts from the clean look.

Also, a size option would be good. The first version took up most of the screen's width, but this new version is shrunk down. I think maybe the day-string cut-off is worth it. WEDNESD is pretty obviously Wednesday, so I'm reverting to 0.1 until size is an option. I'll continue to try each new version though, so i can offer more feedback. And one of these days (probably after Christmas..) I intend to get one of those pre-paid VISA cards, I'll send some money your way. :)
[Android Apps and Games] andyriot:
Would it not be possible to have it where it "draws" the large day number first, then sets the left alignment of the day name and year according to the width of day number + some padding? That way it would always be the same spacing

Hope that made sense lol...
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
It does make sense, but there are two problems: the TextView component (the UI element that can display characters) is always a bit larger than it's content. This is why I have to place them overlapping each other in order to get the look I want. Second, it's (afaik) not possible to find out how wide the current context is. That, you need to know to position the other elements (set the left alignment). But I will be looking into that!
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Hideable AM/PM isn't a problem, I'll throw that in the next version.

Regarding the size, I have to confess I only tested the app on a WVGA screen :o But since there seems to be some serious interes in this app, I might even consider testing it on some other screen sizes ;)
[Android Apps and Games] hkgrice:
Excuse me, would it be possible to make the text large as the iPhone one? Or choices of different sizes?
[Android Apps and Games] vide infra:
thanks dude it's awesome! of course i have the PM issue but thanks for being responsive and working on improving it! I'd love to make it huge-and rotate it diagonal
[Android Apps and Games] zamolxees:
Hey, thank you for this. I was looking for something nice and clean, taking less space than default HTC ones. It looks great. Could you please include an option to change color? The way it is now, it doesn't read very well on a light background.

The problem with readability is a bit complicated, since sometimes there is just no way a one color typo would read well on any background. The most common solutions include dropping some shadow behind or giving it a stroke (border) of contrasting color. The results vary, but done right could go a long way helping readability and keeping clean.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] MillyMoo106:
Loving it, loads of settings possible, my main suggestion is overall sizing as I would love it a bit bigger
[Android Apps and Games] Infinitum:
Why cant i install this using Astro? Astro is not recognizing it as a Apk file.

EDIT: Sorry I downloaded the one on the first post. You should update the link so that people dont download that one.
[Android Apps and Games] ScootyPuffJr1:
No support for 1.6 :(

Please reconsider if you have the time
[Android Apps and Games] Infinitum:
How about doing a 4x3 or 4x4 size? It would look awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Fabulous fabulous work!

Do you have to be rooted for this?

What's the latest version?

Thank you. Awesome work. X
[Android Apps and Games] anotherdroid:
nice!
[Android Apps and Games] r47z:
awesome. I love this :) however there seems to be a bug when using 12-hr settings. It doesn't change from PM to AM. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Just a heads-up: I'm still here and keeping track of the feedback (thanks everyone!), but I won't get around to work on it until the weekend. Please be patient :)

No root needed, last version as of now is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8608198&postcount=20
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Thanks so much. Its awesome. One of my faves.

Thank you for your hard work
[Android Apps and Games] DanijelDesire:
This looks wonderful!

Thanks very much for making it!
[Android Apps and Games] NativeAmer:
Can you update so it works for android 1.6 and Dell Streak please. TIA
[Android Apps and Games] Tynen:
Thank you very much! Is this app going to be updated much??
[Android Apps and Games] djnutz:
Whoa this is awesome. Nice job .
[Android Apps and Games] YoMama78:
Great work. Looks awsome.

Is there a chance to get a version which is as big as on the iPhone 4?
[Android Apps and Games] InitialG:
Great widget!

My only suggestion probably would be the option to go to the alarm clock when you tap on it.
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
This is great! Will definately track this and thinking of homescreen ideas where it would fit in right now :)
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
weird i just have numbers instead of the month's letters...

change the font from comfortaa to the default one but nothing changes.

any idea on this??

edit: if i change the language in menu/settings/language to english it shows the letters for today's date correct,

in this case october, but when i change the language back to my regular german, it changes to numbers.

weird, i wanna get it workin so

semicuda, i need help... pm me
[Android Apps and Games] jimyen:
Thanks for this great clock! It's gonna be a hit if you put it on the market with additional tweaking features.

Please keep up!
[Android Apps and Games] tristan202:
Any chance you can make a 2x2 version of this?
[Android Apps and Games] acetylyne:
just throwing in

this app is awesome, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] chancellorr:
2x2 would kind of defeat the purpose. Honestly I wish it was bigger. Great widget by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] rexet:
Same here for french ;) !

I guess the widget has to be localised for each language.
[Android Apps and Games] TripleOG:
I downloaded this and it says "activity not found - com.semicuda.typoclock" when i try to launch it.

Anyone help me out?
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Just tried it on OpenDesire, it works correctly in pretty much every language. This seems to be a problem with Sense ROMs, but I don't see why... I'm using a standard Java function to get the Month and Day names. But I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
Why are you trying to launch a widget? :)

You add it like any other widget. Long press on home screen -> widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] unde:
It has some problems with the landscape view.

Motorola Milestone
[Android Apps and Games] tat2me2:
How hard would it be to add seconds to this clock?
[Android Apps and Games] jeremy89632:
I disagree, as a matter of fact, I find a 2x2 is useful as I have very little homescreens in use and I would like something small that would just tells me the time and date and that's pretty much it.
[Android Apps and Games] Laban:
On HTC Desire with Sense and Froyo it onlu displays 10 instead of october. Is this possible to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] LudoAnders:
as explained above, it's a language thing
[Android Apps and Games] TripleOG:
Ha, thanks. Forgot about that.
[Android Apps and Games] chancellorr:
Haha, okay that makes sense. :]
[Android Apps and Games] cebb:
how would you install this on a rooted captivate running cog 2.2 rom beta 6??

im such a noob to android... i tried figuring it out but if someone could please just give me some quick instructions...
[Android Apps and Games] Ste11a:
This is very nice! Thanks for sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
and... any chance to fix and keep it running on a stock 2.10 sense rom.

question to semicuda... hope you read it :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] baldandtopless:
this widget is excellent!

although the am/pm has been off since yesterday. its not showing the correct time.
[Android Apps and Games] negativedrew:
great widget. I need to remember to keep an eye on this thread!
[Android Apps and Games] Heart1010:
...same here! Hope you can fix this language problem ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Seano.:
care to share your version?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
widget locker with attached typoclock... right??

looks good... :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] vsxed:
Only if the developer gives me positive feedback

[Android Apps and Games] r47z:
4x4 version? care to share? I have space for it on my screen
[Android Apps and Games] Jefffr:
Very good, thanks,

But can you add 2 custom links on your clock ?

one for clock and one for the date, I like tape on the clock and open alarm and tape on the date for open calendar ^^

bye bye thx
[Android Apps and Games] luckyyy:
Works great on i5700 Spica with Eclair 2.1 + SamDroid MOd 2.0!
[Android Apps and Games] acetylyne:
I would like to see a 4x4 and a 2x2, I can resize it with launcher pro, but that doesn't seem to work in widgetlocker.
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
get it... but to big for me...

but if you published it i give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] MarcusBremen:
@ EdeBoi:

which programm do you use to change any .xml file??

However, I'm not sure if it's the problem of the screenshot or not, the words looks not very sharp.

Looking forward to have it on my lock screen.

[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Thanks for the port! I really love it. :D

Suggestions:

1. Launch an application when pressed (Alarm Clock as default?)

2. Make it bigger lol [EdeBoi got it! Please give permission!]

3. Option to make the text diagonal, perhaps?
[Android Apps and Games] frostman89:
Love it, now just gotta get that larger version and I am set!
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Cool, what is that lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] frostman89:
It's widget locker, i just replaced the 2 images associated with the iphone style unlock.
[Android Apps and Games] Seano.:

[Android Apps and Games] tominabox1:
Mine says its PM all the time... any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] dilirum:
Amazingly awesome! Nice work Semicuda!

I love it. Same feedback as has been said a bunch of times already, would love the larger version like chancellorr threw together ...

and a tap to to to clock/alarm app.

Thanks for sharing the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] chancellorr:
I didn't make it, EdeBoi did. I wish it had been me. :]
[Android Apps and Games] r47z:
it's a bug.. hopefully it'll get resolve.
[Android Apps and Games] szanda:
Hey, awesome widget, can you add a black font color option please?
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Awww... it didn't expect that much interest :o

However, since pretty much everyone is using a custom font and this always breaks the layout, I'm rewriting the whole thing to use a Bitmap instead of real text fields.

This will take a little while, and after that all the customization options you want will follow :)
[Android Apps and Games] MercuryTangent:
I'm not sure if this request has already been made, but is it possible to make the 4x2 widget fill entirely on the horizontal field? I love this widget, but it looks like a 2x2 centered horizontally.

Appreciate your effort in all of this, dev, it's a very cool product, especially given that you're volunteering your time with it.

Sent from my King-Crowned, Virus Infected Evo using the XDA app.
[Android Apps and Games] Laban:
Will that solve the problem with the language in my Sense ROM? Will I be able to make my own (translated) bitmaps in my regional language?
[Android Apps and Games] guitargler:
You should be able to. For example, "October" will almost definitely just be a single image file that says October, but if you want your widget to be in french, you would just load that image into GIMP, Paint, Paint.net, Photoshop, and replace "October" with "Octobre"
[Android Apps and Games] frostman89:
That actually sounds like a good idea, I downloaded the iphone version to check out what font was used, and they are actually all images. the numbers and words. The font if you are curious is helvetica neue.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, I can link you to the iphone version if you want to use the images and whatnot.
[Android Apps and Games] szanda:
Well, I dont think that this bitmap converting thing is a good idea. This app has one big advantage compared to others (e.g. tajm) - It works perfectly with different languages than eng.

Look at this pic of typoclock running on my sam galaxys i9k:

Layout is fine and it looks awesome :-)

(thats in Czech btw, and thas an explanation why my english sucks :) )
[Android Apps and Games] chancellorr:
Actually your english was really good. :p
[Android Apps and Games] goldenstorm:
Awesome Clock/Date widget. Thanks for creating it.

My wish list is to have option to change to any color (add color wheel).

And not sure if even possible but a drop shadow would be awesome. Can that be done in xml or would that only work with image files? O

Other than that it is awesome as is! Thanks everyone and especially Semicuda for time and effort.
[Android Apps and Games] negativedrew:
Is there any way to get a quick release that removes/repairs the PM bug before the full bitmap edition? I like the way it's built now since it uses the font I'm using on the phone and everything matches and looks great.
[Android Apps and Games] dilirum:
oop! No disrespect to EdeBoi!
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
I'll just be drawing the same text to a canvas, the language support will not be lost :)

And yep, I will fix the PM bug first...
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
Does this mean that it will also be using custom system fonts?
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
It will use a custom font... completely independent from the system font :)
[Android Apps and Games] LudoAnders:
How can I get the one EdeBoi made?
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Okay guys, here's one without the PM-bug...
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Thanks so much Champ, your work is hugely appreciated.

I love this app. Thanks for your time. X
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
So, it will use its own font that cannot be changed? (Sounds logical considering the switch to images)

Still, sounds like this is on its way to becoming one of the best date/time widgets ever! :)
[Android Apps and Games] mhut:
I love the way it looks. Thanks for the work man.

However, i´m unnable to install it on my x10 mini (tried your latest .apk). It says the app cannot be installed. Is there some issue with 1.6 donut or my screen resolution ???
[Android Apps and Games] oOnEe:
How do you customize this typoclock ? It shows the number of the day instead of its "name"...
[Android Apps and Games] Big_Fred:
+1 on that question.
[Android Apps and Games] fredmode01:
Yep, same here, even though I've changed date/time parameters to see if something happens..

(Desire 2.2 unrooted)
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Here we go....

TypoClock 0.31

*AM/PM bug gone

*Using a fixed font, no more breaking the layout

*For now, only optimized for WVGA

*Black text option

*Sense Fix: English names instead of numbers

Thanks a lot for thinking about us, frustrated Sense users, and thinking to fix this issue in a 'future version'.

Your widget looks really good on other devices, keep up the good work !
[Android Apps and Games] Semicuda:
Please try this one... should work with Sense, but displays English names only.
[Android Apps and Games] w.0.o.t:
i think this widget deserves a new thread on its own. just my suggestion. thanks btw! looking good here. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Laban:
I agree. Then the first post can be updated with the latestversion also.
[Android Apps and Games] Kagedin:
Hey looks great tried using it on my eris I know you said it's for qvga resolution but thought I'd give it a try anyways the bottom row and the last column on the right was cut off was able to get the bottom row to show by resizing the widget with lp. I don't know if you have any plans to get this working with lower res devices, but itd be much appreciated like I said looks great good job so far.

I also agree on this having its own thread
[Android Apps and Games] Cucoo:
Nice new version. Gonna stay with an earlier one though, I like it better with my system font ;)
