Had an issue trying to install mClock and the widgets provided in this thread via xml.

Put everything in the folder /sdcard/mClock of my galaxy s2 and when I select the xml I want from the settings I am only able to see only the numbers/date without any clock background image.

Can anyone please help me?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
You have a path problem. Read the xml file and make sure your files are in the folder specified in the xml. Note it's case sensitive. Search this thread on 'path' and you'll find many posts regarding the subject.

Does anyone know how to add the degree symbol (for weather) in a xml file?? TIA :)
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I know the alt code is alt 0176 (hold the alt key while you type the numbers on the number pad), try it perhaps?
[Android Themes] julie966:
Thank you. Do you know where it actually goes in the file? Does it go after the weather temperature or inside that actual part?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Sorry, haven't got a clue. I just know some alt codes :o I would imagine it goes after whatever specifies the temperature.
[Android Themes] belerephont:
Thank you very much! Tried placing everything in internal memory and it worked just fine.

Appreciate it.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Glad it works, but think of this - many of those files are named the same, so you can't have different clocks stored and ready for use. I prefer using folders for my mods, if the xml doesn't point to the folder already, I edit to point to the folder. Once you're more familiar with xml editing and mClock, you might want to do the same thing.
[Android Themes] belerephont:
Thanks for the heads-up, sounds pretty useful.

Wanted to also ask whether there are any mClock widgets that also include weather. Maybe you can provide some links as I wasn't able to find any.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I don't think it's possible, it might be with the replacement for mClock, Chronotopia (same author). It's got a steep learning curve, which is why mClock is still so popular.
[Android Themes] phantomblu:
Did I install this thing right? I tried different xml files; the time and dates show up, but not the graphical designs. Widget settings are blacked out, as well as clock, date and weekday bar.

Edit: Fixed it after reading the thread. I'm not sure what was wrong in the first place since the file directories and capitalization matched up perfectly to begin with.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Yea! Good job, reading the thread and finding the answer on your own

[Android Themes] dmoses1969:
Could mClock do something like this? That would be awesome if it could and someone with a lot more knowledge than me would create it. :D
[Android Themes] szamanus:
All right then.

I've dig through the pages and concerning HDPI devices - like my Galaxy Note I'm gonna have to create a template by myself in PS, and then code it?

Cause I've tried a lot of xml's shared on XDA, and none of it looks good - big enough - on my screen :-\

Any one of you mates got a tip for that?
[Android Themes] dmoses1969:
This is what i had in mind. But it would look better if I could add my on font which are images.

Other than that if there was a way to make it a little bigger to fill the screen more like sense clock widget.
[Android Themes] Silvio Scarani:
Oh! Wonderful clock!!! Masterpiece!!!
[Android Themes] Edward Kachenko:
Can you tell me how to create mClock skins? Thanks
[Android Themes] heXacode:
It's quite simple. The most basic and simple way to make it is to just make a background image of some sort. Just get creative in Gimp or Photoshop and make a background that will fit nicely on your homescreen.

Try something not so fancy for starters. Just something really simple. You can look through other mClock files and see how people piece together everything. You can find references to png sizes by looking at others.

Then you can take a look at a few xml's and see how the coding is done. For starters, you can just take pieces of coding from different mClock xmls and put one together that will fit for your mClock. You'll probably have to make a few minor changes, or delete a few things but that's a simple way of understanding how the codes work together to make a mClock.

I would just take a simple mClock available here and rip it apart and look through it all to see how they did it.
[Android Themes] Edward Kachenko:
what app will I need?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Some kind of image editing software and a text editor.
[Android Themes] Edward Kachenko:
thank you for that information guys, I will try to create mClock skins ;)
[Android Themes] Lekr:
Where do I place the mClock folder, on phone or external SD? Got a Samsung Galaxy S II.

And how should the path in the .xml look like? Now it's like this:

BackgroundImage="/sdcard/mClock/MIUI-Revamped/MIUIDIGI-black.png"
[Android Themes] Edward Kachenko:
Save "MIUI-Revamped" to sdcard/mClock/
[Android Themes] :
You should create a folder on the root of sd card named mClock (case sensitive( then place the MIUI-Ravamped folder inside

Sent from wherever I am?
[Android Themes] Lekr:
What? I think it is sdcard/mClock/MIUI-Revamped now.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Yes, I've got a mClock folder on the root of my sd card. And the MIUI-Revamped folder is inside it.

Edit: I guess the problem is where the mClock folder is placed (phone vs sd) or wether I should write "sdcard" or something else in the .xml.
[Android Themes] hydralisk:

[Android Themes] heXacode:
You can use Gimp. Its a lot like Photoshop but its free. Or you can use Photoshop CS5. These are the 2 main programs used to create images.

You will also need something like Notepad++. Look it up online. I think its notepadplusplus.org. Can't remember. Its free and it is used for creating xmls that house the codings.
[Android Themes] genuser:
Notepad++ is a great text and source code editor, but for xml have a look at XML Marker 1.1. It's free and provides a great table view of the xml.

[Android Themes] xriderx66:
hey guys im having trouble installing these .xml files

What i'm doing is downloading them as a .zip, extracting a folder putting it on my SD CARD and finding it with mClock, but the only thing it does it make a numeral clock, doesn't do any of the nice background tricks and what not what am i doing wrong here?
[Android Themes] Steve Mannix:
You have a path problem...it's been covered a number of times in this thread. In the mClock (note that it's case sensitive, and not anything other than "mClock" without the quotes) folder on your SD card you should unzip each skin in it's own folder. Check the path in the xml file to make sure the background image matches the path on your SD card (probably sdcard/mClock/name of skin/). If the xml doesn't match your path you will need to update it so it does.

As I said, search for "path" in this thread...

Hope this helps.

Switch Month & Day

Hello,

Some Clock are displaying date as MM/DD.

I´d like to change them to DD/MM, how can this be done ? I do not find anything relevant in xml file.

Cheers.

I don't have a mClock file in my /sdcard at all..

sorry sorry!!! I didn't search before i said that!!

I searched adn found out all the answers i needed!

Thanks again bro.

new question: How would i change the .xml so its 12 hour based not 24? It doesn't let me change the settings once the .xml is applied.

I would say ;

hour is24hour="false"

[Android Themes] mryoyo:
Hi all,

mClock widget application is always stopping at my phone (Huawei X3, stock rom)

When I look to my homescreen, the hours aren't updated, and I have to tap on it, to open the config menu, close it and when I see the clock again, it update to the correct hour..

Someone solved this before?
[Android Themes] Pumeluk2:
Are you using a task killer?
[Android Themes] mryoyo:
Yes, i'm using 'Advanced Task Killer'.

But when I open it, it doesn't show the mClock process. So I think this isn't closing mClock process
[Android Themes] Pheno.menon:
Could someone take it upon themselves to compile a list of all the clocks linked, edited into the first page or on a website? It's a pain going through all these pages looking for a clock
[Android Themes] Pumeluk2:
Maybe it is configured to stay resistend and kill some apps automatically. Go in Advanced Task Killer Menu - Settings and check the "Auto Kill Level".

I've disabled this, because I am using ATK only for killing few apps that would like to take control over my phone (e.g. facebook). But I disabled their autostart settings by deactivating the "events" they use.

Letting ATK kill apps automatically is a pain in the a ....

[Android Themes] Pumeluk2:
Search this thread for "path", you placed the files in the wrong folder ...
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
One way

One way to look at it, the other is the xml is pointing to the wrong folder. It can be fixed either way.
[Android Themes] graphic1982:
Open up the xml file of the clock that you want to switch the day and month around on. Look for the sections that start <day font> and <month font>. They probably don't start exactly that way but you should get the picture. Inside these sections of the xml look for the left values and change them around.

On another note, I was just messing around on Photoshop, and made quite a few clock mock-ups, as I hadn't made anything 'big' from scratch for a while and wanted to 'keep my hand in.'

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in them as mClock skins, and if so which ones.

Thought I'd ask first rather than waste time messing with .xml :rolleyes:

As promised above, here's some stuff to use with mClock..

As I said too, it's not totally my work.. some of the png's are, some xml come from other talented members here (sorry guys, I cannot remember your names.. :o )

All you have to do is :

- download and open the attached zip

- extract various templates mclock file to the root of your sd card.

Follow this 2 simple rules above. I've edited and check each xml file, they all work fine.

And now friends, have fun :D

Edit the xml file, it's quite simple:

Rename it from .xml to .txt (or use ES File Explorer straight from your phone, no need to convert xml to txt then)

Go to the part:

<UniformGrid Font="/sdcard/various templates mclock/fonts/avantgarde.ttf" Foreground="#96c120, #ff96c120" shadowcolor="#00ffffff" shadowamount="10" top="46" left="-153" Columns="1"

And change -153 to a bigger value.. something like -152, -151, -150, -149, and so on.. I don't know which one suits the best short day names in your languages, so you'll have to try on your own :)

hope it helped

[Android Themes] charlie81:
man i have searched this thread for hours no luck im ready to give up can u please help

sdcard/mClock/xml theme/bg.png right
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
You need to hone your search skills then. I found it easily via search:

'If the background of a clock doesn't show up, you have a path problem. Probably 99% of the themes in this thread assume to be in /sdcard/mClock/*folder of theme*/. This path is case sensitive, so it has to be mClock and not mclock, MCLOCK or whatever. If your phone has internal flash space, the mentioned path points to that and not the external sdcard. This is because the sdcard in the mentioned path is only the mountpoint (where the system makes the data available to the apps) and that can point wherever the maker of your phone/kernel/system wants it to. If you have this kind of phone, put the mClock folder in your internal space and you're good. If you have to have it on your external SD card, you'll have to change the patch in the xml files to point to /sdcard/external_sd/mClock/*folder of theme*/ (at least on the SGS2 it is this way, don't know how htc or moto do it). If you have to ask how to do this, just put the mClock folder in the internal space and save yourself the trouble for the future.'

So, you need to read the xml of the clock and maks sure the path matches, or edit the xml to make it match.
[Android Themes] k_nivesout:
Open up the mclock theme's XML and see where it tells mclock to look for the files. The first line should spell it out for you, here's an example: <Canvas BackgroundImage="/sdcard/mClock/SayIt/hdpi/bg/cyan.png"

So you would want to make sure that your path is correct, that the folder "SayIt" is in /sdcard/mclock.

I notice you're using an E4GT, I think there are internal and external SD card partitions on that phone so make sure you're putting the mclock themes in the correct one.
