A Glitch or me?

Hey guys, can anyone point me in the right direction of the most stable version of this app? (cowon clock) I have installed on my phone and I works SOMETIMES. Sometimes it will just stop working or be a few mins behind. Once I add it again to my homescreen, everything is fine again. Is this just me or is it a glitch? The 24 hour clock seems to work better but I want to use the 12 hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys

Amazing bobclock

Man, this is amazing. Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] lambasurm:
i fixed the hairy numbers by replacing the .bmp inside the .apk with the original .bmp from the cowon widget dump

it fixed the numbers, but i wasn't able to change the colors anylonger, so i scrapped that plan and hoped for someone more competent to fix it :D
[Android Apps and Games] 13597:
nice clock!:D

but it looks a bit "pixely" on my defy:(
[Android Apps and Games] swenaxon:
The one with the setting is "pixly" on my Hero, Stock 2.1

But the others work just fine

But is there an update on the one with settings?
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi everyone,

I'm back from my training. And I successfully past my exams :D

So I should have time so improve the clock and hopefully fix all problems. First I have to say that yesterday I also got a FC and then the clock stopped to refresh. But at the moment I can't reproduce it. But I will investigate more time to fix this really stupid bug.

And I will try to release this week a version with debugging feature. I hope this will help me to find the cause of the problem why some people have the problem with refreshing of the clock.

As I already told I try to fix this. I'm not sure how but it is on a very high position of my list. Because I'm also not happy with this.

I hope I understand you now correct. When you launch the app the first time you can change the color for the hour in the first field and the color of the minutes is in the second field. At the moment there is no possibility to change it later. You can only remove the widget and add it again. The old values are stored.

This should be solved with my new version. But there also some people reporting that the problem still exists. Therefore I will try to make a version this week with some debugging features.

:) That's not possible. You can only change the color of the bitmaps. But then you loose the feature of customizing.

Same as I already told. I search for a solution for this problem.

Evening all,

Sorry for the lack of updates I have been busy with our new owners at work, other projects and trying to get my website up.

I shall try to post an update to github and here on Thursday/Friday evening.

It should contain a colour selector and fixed 12 hour clock. If all goes well I will probably release it into the market to make it easier for updates.

If anyone has translations they want me to include please send me a pull request on github or a link here, include whether or not am/pm should be changed as well.

I had a question for people that use lots of widgets, how do you normally re-configure a widget once it is placed on the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] MillyMoo106:
I change it several times when trying to figure out what exact colour i want, but once i have found that i do not change it again
[Android Apps and Games] KingDavid36:
Will the new release have the ability to change both colors functionality? I think that's the must sought after functionality for this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi everyone,

time for a new version of my clock. I released the version 1.0.2 of the widget. You can find it at my post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11616562&postcount=295

Fixes in version 1.0.2:

* Rewrote the clock refreshing again. Hopefully it is now definitely solved. I let the clock running for some hours on my phone and I didn't have any problems.

* The clock looks now smoother. I have found the problem that some digits looks pixely. I hope this makes all happy :-)

It would be very nice if everyone can give his experience with this new version. If the problems are gone. Or if someone still have problems with the refreshing of the time.

My next step is now the graphical color chooser. If there are no problems are in the current one. So stay tuned :-)
[Android Apps and Games] marc22:
first post update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Thanks for updating the post
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi KingDavid36,

can you explain me what you mean exactly with changing both colors? Because in my version you can change the color of the hour and the color of the minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] LcD59c:
Thanks for this awesome widget ! the most beautifull clock i've ever had :p
[Android Apps and Games] amoramor:
It ROCKS!!! Thank you!!!
[Android Apps and Games] _conductor:
For me the digits are still very pixelised :(
[Android Apps and Games] tcleary73:
@chrisch1974:

thank you for the widget, any chance you can have it launch the alarm clock app when tapped? or at least be able to choose from a list of possible apps
[Android Apps and Games] RuizGT:
They aren't as bad. I did just get one force close when I opened xda just now, weird.
[Android Apps and Games] holgalee:
I'm using Rsmartin's clock and it's the only clock that's stayed for so long on my homescreen! :)

Thanks so much! We'll wait for you!
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
It was a first step in the right direction. Hopefully I find something more to improve.

This is on my list to implement. Hopefully in one of my next versions.

Very strange. But thanks for reporting. Maybe I find something which causes the problem. But my next step will be first the color chooser :D
[Android Apps and Games] navanman:
Thanks for the updated version with 24 hour time.

Does anyone have the colour codes for the original orange/grey D3Clock by rsmartin.

I would like to get the look of that version with the fixes introduced in chrisch1974 latest revision.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi navanman,

Grey should be #97d7d7d7 and orange should be #cceb7238.
[Android Apps and Games] navanman:
Cheers for the quick reply and information.
[Android Apps and Games] rsmartin:
Hello,

I have pushed a code update to github, the features appear to have been rather painless which is always nice.

I have added a colour picker for custom colour choices.

I ended up using https://github.com/attenzione/android-ColorPickerPreference which is an incredible, well put together little colour picker.

I added the ability to launch the clock app from the widget. This will attempt to open the clock if it can find one. Because some custom roms run custom clock apps and there is no published intent this might not work on your rom. If it fails to launch your specific clock please let me know the details.

I added the option to lowercase all the text similar to gomorrah's blue mod

I should have fixed the 12 hour 00 bug aswell!!

I did test it on a few devices so hopefully it works fine but if there are any problems please let me know.

The plan is to put it on the market, for free, in the next few days when I get a chance.
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdaviso:
Very nice thank you! We need a thanks button on the xda app :(

Tap to clock works awesome on my mt4g.
[Android Apps and Games] FireFly:
I found Make Your Clock much more customisable.

I just need some talent...
[Android Apps and Games] FromundaCheese:
No doubt we need a thanks button in the app. Rsmartin is the bomb
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdaviso:
Would it be possible to have a 3x3 version with the hours and minutes offset? Instead of stacked directly on top of one another?
[Android Apps and Games] jave16:
It force closes alot on my droid x
[Android Apps and Games] navanman:
Cheers, thanks to both of you for working on this project.

The updates are much appreciated.

The only thing the app needs now is an icon as it shows as the default android symbol in application list & widget selection.
[Android Apps and Games] jamiegoldsworthy:
This updated version is wicked :D works without problems and successfully opens my clock app every time on Android Revolution HD 3.0, and in WidgetLocker! :D
[Android Apps and Games] mschortie:
This updated version is works without problems also WidgetLocker 2!

Chance you can have it launch a selectable app (clock or alarm clock) when tapped?

Can someone tell me where to set the date "MARCH. 10" changed to "10. MARCH"?
[Android Apps and Games] trimax84:
Update working well so far. CM7 rc2.

Previously got FCs and time freeze...here's hoping that's fixed.

Love the clock!
[Android Apps and Games] churapa:
@rsmartin the original creator of Bobclock, let me tell you that your last updated version of the widget rocks, color picking is flawless (no pixelation at all), lower or upper case letters selection is cool, 24 or 12 hours mode, system clock app launching, I mean, it's complete! It should be on the market. Again, thanks for a wonderful job!

Here is a screenshot of the widget working:
[Android Apps and Games] ziggy34:
Which download is that that you can have the app launching? So many versions
[Android Apps and Games] churapa:

[Android Apps and Games] ziggy34:

[Android Apps and Games] NCtwin:
Thanks a lot! I'm having a problem downloading though. It starts for a few seconds, and then it stops with a "download unsuccessful" message. Is there something I'm doing wrong??
[Android Apps and Games] Patriot Virus:
I downloaded the updated version but for whatever reason the time does not update at all when its on my main homescreen
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Nice idea. I keep it in my mind for an enhancement of my version.

I am working on it. hopefully it is fixed in my next version.

That's a good idea. Because the original isn't really beautiful :)

You can only change it when you compile the app yourself and first change the source. In my version this is adjusted for german language at the moment.

That's really strange why this works on some phones and on some not. Because this is android standard api which is used for updating the clock. In my version I tried to work around this problem but it sometimes gives a FC. But I hope we will find a good solution for this problem in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Thank you so much! This version rocks! This is exactly what I was looking for: click-to-clock and great color picker.

Now, may I suggest further improvement... :rolleyes:

- option to increase font size for the date (currently a bit too small for my eyes)

- option to change the date format
[Android Apps and Games] mschortie:
Your version does not run on my lockscreen (Oxygen 2.0.1 + WidgetLocker 2.0.1). The time is not updated and the app crashes.

I have the app already decompile, but at what point I find the setting for the date (MARCH. 10 -> 10. MARCH)?

Option to change the date format would be wonderful!
[Android Apps and Games] mattynealo:
I like this clock. How to I access the Color Picker?
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdaviso:
With the right version.... The link its on top of this page post 428 I believe it was.
[Android Apps and Games] mattynealo:
I installed the apk and I have the widget working but there are no options.
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdaviso:
You should have been taken to the settings PreferenceScreen prior to choosing size and setting the widget. Weird?
[Android Apps and Games] mattynealo:
I tried both ADw and launcher pro. I tap on the widget and it does a short vibrate then nothing.

I am running a HTC Hero/ Firerats MTD/ Asop CM7 Gingerbread 31011 with Launcher Pro.

Thanks for the help
[Android Apps and Games] Mrdaviso:
Remove the widget and reset it you can't access settings after its set on the foreskin.

Edit: homescreen not foreskin LoL
[Android Apps and Games] Vegasden:
I'm running the post 428 version and it works as advertised on CM-RC2. Very nice.

As a suggestion for a future update, would you consider a "shadowing" option. I've found this in other similar widgets (Clockr and SiMi) and the added "depth" makes the widget "pop" on the screen.

Thank you for your hard work.

EvoZoneCM powered.....
[Android Apps and Games] mattynealo:
Thanks I had to uninstall it from apps and install the one from post 428 to get it to work.

Thanks so much!

[Android Apps and Games] NickiMinaj:
I Don't Think There Is A Hungarian Version Of This , Doesn't Hurt To Ask For One Tho ? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rsmartin:
Hello all, let me try clear up a few things.

First of all there are a lot of versions posted in this thread, if you are having issues please list which version you have downloaded and tried to install. I can try to provide support for the original version/code and the currently named post 428 version as I wrote them.

Marc has updated the first post of the thread to link to just my latest version.

This could be my version, when the system needs memory it will kill services, my update services is quite lightweight so is not likely to be killed until last. But I will add a service check to run once every 10 minutes that kickstarts the clock update service if it has been killed. I have never seen it killed but better safe than sorry.

Which version did this?

Currently there is only English, I may switch to a dateformatter to get localised days and months, or I may add translations to the app. I haven't decided yet. If you would like Hungarian added in the next release send me a private message with all days and months translated into hungarian (include their English counterparts), eg -

MONDAY = <Hungarian version of Monday>

...

...

SUNDAY = <Hungarian version of Sunday>

These will actually probably be the only other two features I add to the clock. It will probably be one night next week when I get a chance. I'll post an update here as usual.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
My version has hungarian translations. If you want to try you can find it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11616562&postcount=295

It certainly crashes on Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 if you check latest option (Launch clock)

If that option is unchecked everything works fine.

rsmartin I sent you a Serbian translation, it would be great if you can include this in some future release :)

Thanks to a lot of help from stoske I tracked down the Samsung Galaxy issue.

The attached build here is identical to my previous one except it will find the Samsung clock app, and it wont crash if it cannot find a clock. I'll be posting an update next week with translations and things. This is just a bug fix update for now.

Hey Rsmartin,

I was wondering if you could do something like this with an alternate touch option to go to the settings screen. Not sure if you could set it as maybe the default option or if it would need a ListView or not?

With it setup this way I can access the settings screen only by attempting to reset the widget. I then can change the color, all though it doesn't happen in real-time. I can then hit confirm and then hit back instead of choosing the size (I'm running ADW and not sure if everyone gets the sizing option or not) and it sets the existing widget to the just chosen colors.

Well enough said maybe this screenie can explain it better

This looks nice. This is a really cool idea. Maybe I can add something like this in my next version.

As I know there is no version at the moment with this function. The date is done in the source. But I will put it on my list for future improvements.
[Android Apps and Games] WormDoes:
Noticed someone with an EVO had this problem, but the top of the hour digits are cut off on my widget as well. I'm on an Incredible. I can stretch it with LPP, but I have to make it 2x4 and that takes up a lot of real estate. Is their anyway to make different size widgets? A 2x2 would be sick! If it's not possible I understand. Thank you for taking the time and making the colors customizable. Much easier than installing/uninstalling different apks.
[Android Apps and Games] TiwitAnoid:
Great widget rsmartin ...thanks a million ...i just have a little question is it possible to resize or choose smaller or bigger digits I can't see an option for that ...

Running this version on cm7-rc2 and it seems to be working great. Opens the clock app flawlessly. Previous version would stop updating and force close a lot. One thing that would be nice is the ability to bring up the settings menu by maybe double taping the clock imac of having to remove the widget and add it back to change colors.

[Android Apps and Games] skuang:
Hello rsmartin! i really appreciate this great clock app. I installed it and it works fine. I ran into one problem tho, after i installed it, my stock alarm clock, and any other alarm app i tried to run would stop working. Meaning the alarm wouldn't go off at the time i set it to go off at. Can you please help me with this? i have a samsung galaxy vibrant running stock eclair. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rsmartin:
Sorry, currently there is no such option.

Hi WormDoes, can you post me a screen shot of the effect. I currently can't recreate it on any device/emulator I have access to. Maybe if I see exactly what it is doing I might be able to understand why it is doing it.

Not at the moment I'm afraid.

I'm not sure it is possible to pick up any gesture other than a single click from a widgets remote view, which makes it quite hard. I could make an option to enable click for clock or click for settings. Then you could have the settings enabled until you are happy and then switch over to the clock. You could also take a look at Mrdaviso's transparent solution earlier in the thread.

Hi skuang, sorry to hear you are having problems. The clock itself is sandboxed by the android system, it can't (in theory) interfere with anything else in the way you are describing. It does not take any intents nor provide any. It has no permissions to do anything other than update each minute. Have you tried uninstalling the clock, do your symptoms persist?

Cheers

Bob
