I didn't say there is no text clocks, I said there is none that were in the style I wanted. This was originally a personal project for my own homescreen, but since people in the nexus one screenshot thread asked if I could release it, I am now sharing it and working to improve on it. Its a free app, if its not to your taste, then move along, there is no need for negativity here.

UPDATE ON CLOCKR: I have fixed the update method and the widget *should* update at the same time as your system clock. Its only a quick fix and hopefully there is no bugs/issues.

Also, I am currently working on getting the configuration screen working, but I only have a vague idea of how to implement it correctly. I'm still learning so much and hopefully this time tomorrow I will have found a solution. I apologise for my slow progress, working full time and having no Android experience is not a good mix, but I'm getting there! ^_^

For those of you after the wallpaper, I have attached it. Yes, I know it has black bars on either side. This is because I use LauncherPro and more specifically, I use the setting that makes the wallpaper not scroll when you move from side to side. So, it always stays focused on the middle of the wallpaper. I'm sorry, I'm not sure where the image is originally from, a friend of mine gave it to me.

EDIT: Sorry, here is the wallpaper link
[Android Apps and Games] camalus:
Then... don't use it. No ones making you. If you aren't going to use it... why piss in someones cheerios and complain about the style they like?

Personally.. I like it. And I'm going to use it. If you don't like it... go somewhere else and complain about how you don't like that trees are green in the summer.
[Android Apps and Games] camalus:
Quick question.. and maybe I'm blind... In the main screen shot there is a darker background going across the screen behind the text. When I add the widget.. I have the white letters for the clock.. but no dark background.

How do I add that?
[Android Apps and Games] luca1337:
can you upload the wallpaper with the rain??

GOOD JOB AND VERY NICE WIDGET
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
The picture is a bit misleading, that feature will be in the next release. I just didn't want to include it until I can give the option for people to turn it off if they don't want it. That means I need to get the configuration screen completed (hopefully soon).
[Android Apps and Games] Jamin_1:
Great work

Looking forward to you.

The style is great ;)
[Android Apps and Games] 151jcolon:
i made this one, try and let me know... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] pzumk:
+1 for that. Clockr is great!
[Android Apps and Games] Vegas_Sirk:
Open it up in photoshop or any other image tool, draw a black bar across the image where you want the bar, set the transparency to 30%. Save on SD card, and add as wall paper. Drag the widget on top :D
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
1oh5 isn't the time. I know people are accustomed to saying it, but it is incorrect. It is a ZERO, not an O.

Also .. Tajm is great, but some people don't like "QuarterToFive" .. and would prefer "FourFortyFive" ..

Get over yourself, seriously. These are two totally different widgets. He said TO HIS TASTE. He wanted something different. He never said that no other widgets existed in the same style as the one he was making, however Tajm and Clockr go about it in different ways. Why don't you RE-READ what you quoted

XDA is getting crazy with people who talk before thinking fully, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Vegas_Sirk:
Awesome. Thanks Ill check that out

Really nice clock widget. Been looking for a replacement for a while know and its exactly what I wanted.

Although there is only one thing missing for me... touching the time and it going to the alarm clock. Any chance this can be implemented?

[Android Apps and Games] Ganii:
The same problem,HTC Hero with custom Froyo ROM!

Clock sometimes after reboot or unlocking lockscreen,

not update correctly at the same time as the system clock!

Otherwise very nice widget!

Thanks for this!
[Android Apps and Games] luca1337:
thanks so much!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
Hi Zehro,

Thanks for this cool clock, I really love it. Like many others (and I know you're aware of it) I'd really like to see this in my native language (which is Dutch). You could translate every string from zero to fifty-nine in hundreds of languages, but there might be an easier way. I'm no programmer myself, but for instance in Pure Calendar Widget, the programmer uses an online translator (probably Google Translate, but I'm not sure) to translate the strings. I'm not sure how to implement it, but it might be an easier way for you to provide a localized version. For example, maybe with use of the Google Translate Api?

Looking forward to upcoming releases!

Sincerely,

Mac

I feel now my minimalistic black theme is complete... Thanks for great looking app!....
[Android Apps and Games] kingtheproducer:
Thanks Colon!!!!!! You're the man!!
[Android Apps and Games] kingtheproducer:
Umm.. one more question, why cant i find Clockr in my Evo after i installed it? There is nothing in my widget screen and there is no Clockr in my app drawer? Am i missing something here? Im rooted with myn'sWarm rom btw

Edit: It appeared out of nowhere after 10 minutes. weird
[Android Apps and Games] 151jcolon:
Don't worry brother
[Android Apps and Games] dictionary:
Ahh, the joys of the supremely corny and lame jokes. Oops, I mean. Very clever!! Who would have thought you could spell the word ****, without a k, and it would mean the same thing. Also, who would have thought you could use a part of my name to try to insinuate an insult? You're brilliant beyond words can describe. Thumbs up Mr. Producer ;)

Back on subject, as I don't want to play with twits any longer. APKTOOL is failing for me, hard right now, lol. Keeps throwing Java errors at me. Blarrr. Trying to modify the latest
[Android Apps and Games] okie03:
Great widget . It will be cool is we can also have it on the lock screen. :D
[Android Apps and Games] HEXEVIL:
Hi everyone!

Awsome clock!! I really like it! :D

P.S.= Can I ask you, hollywooder, where have you found the wallpaper in your first post in this thread? (I can't show it because I'm new... :o) I like it.. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
I was just about to make that one.

It's uploaded on my blog, and has been posted here. Check the link in my signature for my blog.

This has been updated.

This pwns Tajm, imo.

I am going to assume you mean with widgetlocker, and while I may agree, for some reason, it doesn't want to work there. Don't know why.
[Android Apps and Games] HEXEVIL:
Thank you very much! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Luggruff:
Maybe I just felt like expressing that I don't agree with the misleading message of the comment?

And furthermore, when did I complain about the looks of this widget? I even mentioned that it was great.

Well, reading it is the same as saying it, or are you special and have no inner voice when reading? It still sounds like Zero when you read it, only inside your head. The expression 'zero' when used in telling time, is also used alongside 'o', like in oTWOhundred for example. One does not rule the other one out, it's just a matter of using them at the right point in the time itself.

And about the "QuarterToFive" and "FourFortyFive", thanks for clearing that up. I mean, showing that this widget doesen't do much to save space, compared to Tajm (someone else used it as an argument).

You are at least right about one thing, yes, he said to his taste. Still, it's alot like changing the contrast of an image and claim you shot it (given that this was credited as something unique).
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
This is unique. Show me another clock that displays time in this manner.

Yes, it is similar in STYLE to battstat and Tajm. Deal with it. Honestly, I'm

glad he made it, cause I'm getting tired of people asking me the time, and

them looking at me funny when I say "Oh, it's fifteen minutes past three."

So, to sum up this entire argument.

YES - It is unique.

NO - the appearance is not unique.

YES - that whole argument was pointless.

YES - tons of people are still going to use it.

NOW - we are moving on.
[Android Apps and Games] Rikimaru03:
how are people installing the mods? I downloaded it to computer, but hooked up evo to computer to see if there was a folder there to drop it in, but saw nothing. downloaded it on my phone and it said failed. kind of lost here.

love the widget btw.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Please, please, PLEEAASEEE make this compatible with Android 1.6. Yes, I'm in the minority but because Tmobile still hasn't pushed out the 2.2 update for myTouch 3G 1.2

BUT I love the design and concept of this widget and would love to use it.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
Uninstall the original clockr first, then install the mod. The mod is an actual application. Hope that helps.

Speaking of, new mod!

Wallpaper and Mod available on my blog.
[Android Apps and Games] camalus:
What are you using to get launcherpro themed like that on the bottom?

I know the OP has it too... and I cant find it. Found something like it... but no where close to as cool as that looks.

Thanks for any help.
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
It appears to be just a translucent dock and a simple dock image.
[Android Apps and Games] ilanad:
@zehro

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY! That's hands down AWSOME!

+1 on the DateR idea, in the same widget, a two line display maybe?

sevenFIFTYnine

twentyfiveOCTOBERtwothousandten

(might have to twiddle the font for the second line)

OUTSTANDING WORK!

ADDENDUM: Maybe instead of sevenZEROnine, sevenOHnine???
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
maybe just..."twentyfiveOCTOBER"
[Android Apps and Games] ilanad:
yeah, if you don't know what year it is... step AWAY from the phone :D :D

ADDENDUM: and definitely tapping the time should bring up the alarm clock, tapping the date, the calendar
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
Just goofing off with zehro's code. lol.

http://yfrog.com/hqs0fp
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
For those of you who would like to play with a transparent background image, install this version that I have attached.

I'm not uploading it to android market because I don't have an option to turn it off... yet! That will be soon.

Also, it contains a slight change to the update rate. Should run better for some people, there were a few complaints of it making their device lag a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] skribbler86:
This clock rocks. Nice one
[Android Apps and Games] pwnst*r:
Diggin' this, bro. Super clean, nice work!
[Android Apps and Games] okie03:
It was widgetlocker i was talking about. (thanks for the correction). Hopefully there will be a way around it.
[Android Apps and Games] upstateboibeats:
I have the original droid, and I clockr won't work on it... /shrug :-(
[Android Apps and Games] Jamin_1:
Good morning first :-)

Did you mean you can't install or the clock didn't updating?

On my device the clock isn't updating continuously even in the newest version I think it was 1. 35.

Please fix it, the clock looks amazing with battstat ;-)

For this widget we can open a thread with perfect wallpaper for this simple genius style :-)

Good day
[Android Apps and Games] :
hi,

is in english or uses the locale language?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
It's in english.
[Android Apps and Games] goldenstorm:
Awesome clean and works fantastic on y Fascinate! Great work love the simplistic aesthetics.
[Android Apps and Games] Nuntius:
Hi,

Great idea but the clock doesn't refresh after reboot on Desire not rooted (using Launcher Pro though).

Any suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] smackiesfunkies:
love this widget! easily replaces tajm

cant wait for date option and color options
[Android Apps and Games] legnaw:
hot!

perfect idea.....

im repeating voices for other language localisation

(if you need translate numeral in slovak, czech, russian... ask me) :D

so...bigger request is 24h mode :confused: WHEN?
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
I think localization is not possible with every language.

e.g. "eleven forty two" (11:42) would be "elf zwei und vierzig" (eleven two and forty) in German.
[Android Apps and Games] Nuntius:
I would say it is possible since you only have to say that:

"42=zwei und vierzig"

That's it
[Android Apps and Games] wallla:
Yeah, maybe I didn't think it through...
[Android Apps and Games] Gahh Its Lee:
It doesn't work too well with widget locker it sometimes crashes
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
Hm. Haven't run into that problem, try readding the widget.

well the app doesn't work like that. Rather than checking the time and having a definition, i.e. 1142 is defined as elevenFORTYtwo, it breaks it down, so first it checks eleven, and then displays eleven, and it checks each digit, and displays the correct response. Like then it sees the four, and knows to display forty, and then the two, so it displays two. If that makes sense. At least that's how I think it works, after glancing through the code. So, if the words were translated into French, for example, it would say

onzeQUARANTEdeux

Sorry for it being in french, it's the only other language I speak. And not fluently, by far, but I got numbers down lol.
[Android Apps and Games] legnaw:
11:42

in slovak

: jedenásťŠTYRIDSAŤdva

but how about 23:42 :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Gahh Its Lee:
I spoke too soon this works perfect after updated
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
I've looked through the code, and it appears that a 24 hour mod is a bit beyond my reach.
[Android Apps and Games] n1ghtm4r:
great app! I am too a minimalist fan, and if you need italian translation, just send me a PM, I would be happy to help
[Android Apps and Games] Nuntius:
Thanks for the reply.

Sorry though but I'm french speaking, what does "try readding the widget" mean?

I'm on 24 hour, I thought it could be the problem so I tried restarting using AM-PM but it doesn't seem to work either.

On a recent install, Clockr understand that 13:52 is oneFIFTYtwo and everything works fine but if I restart the Desire, the widget gives me the right time but stays at that time.

NB. In french onzeQUARANTEdeux is not too sexy! It should be "onze heures quarante deux". We always use "heures" (except for midi-minuit).

11hQUARANTEdeux could be fun enough.
[Android Apps and Games] qvert:
24h mode would be cool

and if possible more languages, for example german :-)
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
I am well aware of of 'heures'. I was saying that is a flaw in the code, that would make translation harder. Because certain languages use a different way of saying the time. And for "try readding the widget" the widget doesn't update, so you will need to remove it from your homescreen, and the add it again.
[Android Apps and Games] Nuntius:
That's what I do everytime I reboot (once a day, at least) but that's a bit of a bummer!
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
Anyone have problems with their CPU running at a constant higher rate. It did this for me last night even while I slept. And I believe Clockr was the only new app I added yesterday?

I confirmed this via System Panel's History graphs. Anyone have similar issue? I want to use Clockr but don't want it using higher level CPU Activity constantly which I'm assuming will also impact battery life.
[Android Apps and Games] camalus:
All I can say is awesome job.
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
I could provide a French translation but it would be harsh to squeeze it in the same canvas.

11.54 pm would be "VingtTroisCinquanteQuatre"...:D
[Android Apps and Games] legnaw:
:eek::eek::eek:WHAAAAAT? if is app able read 16:34 as fourTHIRTYfour...

i think is not big stuff made it as sixteenTHIRTYfour
[Android Apps and Games] Nuntius:
If it's not, DO IT!
[Android Apps and Games] reprod:
Zehro, can you make this run as a service like some of the other clock applications? Digital Clock Widget is one example I can think of. I went into services but I did not see the service running there to stop so I am not sure how you currently have it implemented to update the time.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] h3llb3nd4:
My Typoclock(0.3.5) is having a jet lag...

running LeeDroid 2.2d on Desire
[Android Apps and Games] luckyyy:
Guys, try to exclude it from Task killers... put Clockr on their Ignore list...! Might helps!
[Android Apps and Games] serratocg:
Yes, I would like to request the same. This widget is AWESOME! Having the ability to tap the time and going to the alarm clock/clock app would make it perfect.

I used to use a widget called Digital Clock (in the market), and it has this function. Just in case you need a reference for what the request is.

Thanks for sharing your hard work! Much appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] reprod:
Personally, I would like to have the option. I prefer to touch the clock and not get taken anywhere. I do not even use the stock alarm clock.
[Android Apps and Games] serratocg:
Agreed. That would be ideal. In the settings, you could have an option for "Action on tap" or something like that, and being able to choose either "go to alarm/clock app" or "do nothing".
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
Yes, the app is going under a complete rewrite to fix this problem.

This issue is also being addressed.

It may not be big stuff, but, I am not the app developer, and even if I was,

I'm far too lazy to actually code anything.

The problem being the refresh, trying to find a good balance between a good rate and less battery drain, and performance usage.
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
Good to hear. Are you working with the Original Dev?
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
Not necessarily working with, as he does all of the actual work, but I suppose you could say we are collaborating, yes.
[Android Apps and Games] Royan:
Zehro:

Just in case you want to implement it as a service, there's a digital clock widget using an update service available at http://clangen.org/ with source code.

I've used the source code as a study sample myself :)

Don't know how good a sample it is, but I've learned a lot more from studying it than I've ever done from reading reference material at http://developer.android.com

brgds

Royan
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
Firstly, I want to say thank-you to everyone that has installed and is providing feedback on my app. I am well aware that there are issues with this clock and the update method that I have implemented is failing to update after a reboot (amongst other issues).

Currently I am working on a full re-code which will make it use fewer resources and will include the configuration features I have been working on. I don't have an ETA for when the next update will be (could be a day, could be a few days), but I am working as hard as I can to get it released.

To be honest, the whole thing has been a bit crazy. Already after only 2 days since I listed it on the market, it has been downloaded over 10,000 times. Initially I had only expected maybe ~100 people to be interested. I think if I had have known it was going to be so popular I would have refined it more before releasing it.

I am still listening to all suggestions and as I gain more knowledge in Android development, I will be be implementing as many of these features that I can.
[Android Apps and Games] jsatt:
First, awesome widget. It's inspired me to finally clean up my home screen for a minimalist look. I've skimmed most of this thread but I couldn't find any mention, or maybe everyone else already knows, so my question is what font is being used in the current release and does anyone know of any existing text icon packs for my LauncherPro dock using that font?

Edit: and nevermind. I looks like it's DroidSans. Like I said, everyone else probably already knew.
[Android Apps and Games] syngent:
I love the app, but like most other would like to modify it to fit my personal home screen,... although i wouldn't expect it here on your board but does anyone know of any thread showing how to modify widgets like this for colour or font,...

btw love the widget thanks for the work you put in on it look forward to future updates with customizations glad you put so much into this my phone is much better with it
[Android Apps and Games] yayramen:
Hi, I'm Dalton, and I mod this widget. What would you like?
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
Released v0.3.6 to Android Market

Big update!

I re-coded my application from scratch, it now runs a service.

If you feel the need to use a Task Killer, then please exclude Clockr or you will find that your clock will stop updating.

The re-code fixed a number of issues that people were having. It won't be such a hog on the CPU and it should update correctly after a re-boot (I have tested this on my own phone, and it is working).

Added support for 24hr clocks. If you want it displayed in 24 hour mode (or vice versa), change it in Settings > Date & Time (then select/deselect 24 hour mode).

I've attached a version with a black bar (as seen in picture below) if anyone is interested.

Some people have asked for my LauncherPro Dock, so I have attached that too.

And before you ask, here is the blue/green wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] syngent:
wow you're like a built in easy button how helpfull lmao nothing huge i just wanted to colour the first part of the text to match my dock colours which is html: #1494b7 which is the same one as last post in screen shots i threw up, but the reason i was wondering about doing it myself ( besides of that being half the fun of having a rooted android n1) was because i was going to reverse it on battstatt,... that and i change stuff all the time,... but if you could just do the colour thing for me that would be christmas lol
[Android Apps and Games] Zameus:
Downloaded and installed via astro, but it does not appear in my list of widgets. I uninstalled the market one first. Do I still need that one installed to see the blackbar?

UPDATE , NM, I used AppInstaller and it worked. hehe....thannks for a nice widget!
[Android Apps and Games] zehro:
Not a problem, I'm happy to share. This version runs much much better. I think 99% of bugs are fixed, I just need more people to test it.

I haven't checked if this version works with WidgetLocker. Would be interested to know.
[Android Apps and Games] w.0.o.t:
works fine so far with WidgetLocker. thanks for your work. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nuntius:
That's great zehro, Thanks!
