Display Seconds and World time in Homescreen

Hi all..
Is it possible to display seconds after the hour, minutes and in front of the AM/PM display in the homescreen clock of a SMARTPHONE?
You know, like hh:mm:ss tt format?
I tried this in the HKLM/nls/overrides entry, but it only shows hh:mm tt, seconds are not displayed.
If the seconds are displayed, does it take more battery power, due to the constantly changing display?
Also is it possible to display atleast one world clock in the SMARTPHONE today screen by using some xml edit, and without using another plugin? If not, with a plugin? I searched everywhere, but none seemed to have a good smartphone plugin.
Codecity CityTime was said to have one plugin in 1.5, but now they are 2.0 and dont seem to have a SMARTPHONE homescreen plugin. And I cant find the 1.5 version anywhere either.
BTW, my device is a samsung blackjack2 (SCH i617)
Thanks guys..
Regards
Steve

for clock with seconds on home screen, i use Pocket Digital Clock
for world clock, i use SPB Time

Thanks, but it didnt work in my smartphone. Guess its for Professional

maybe it' time to get a professional phone? haha

Not that netnerd, I already have two Professionals (the latest being Tilt which you should know being in USA), but I find this more handy, thats why

Clock Icon that shows current time

We have an "intelligent icon", it is Calendar icon. Is has the capability of changing its picture, showing us the number of the current date, ok?
I am seeing my iPhone, and Calendar icons says "29".
Well, in that order of ideas, I think it could be possible to have an "clock icon" that shows the current time (in analog or digital way) with an automatic-minute-actualization.
Is it a crazy idea?
If not, who starts the development?

An icon is a bitmap - it has zero "intelligence" - it is just a picture.
The calendar icon on the iPhone is a background image with the date overlaid as a font or image.
And I would recommend XIAMultiTheme over rlToday. Compatible XML-wise, but far superior in feature set and much easier to use.

ok, I know rlToday
But I have an iPhone, and that program is only for Windows Mobile...
I shoud have mentioned that I was looking something like that, but for iPHone.
Thanks anyway.
(I have returned to Windows Mobile, I have bought a HTC Cruise because mi iPhone is not working well)

Posting on this forum asking for iPhone software is like like asking for Skoda tuning tips on a Ferrari forum - likely to get you flamed!
Seriously, put the iPhone to a proper use, like a door stop or a paper weight.

More items on agenda today TouchFlo3D?

Has anyone found a solution to have more upcoming events visible on the TouchFlo3D home-screen? Below the clock is only one, or sometimes 2 items visible. I'd like to have more, like possible in Today-agenda, or similar.
I allready installed second-today, with today agenda. Which works ok-ish, but it asks for an extra click etc. Wouldn't it be nice to have the option to have more upcoming events integrated in the normal TouchFlo3D screens?

This has been asked quite often in the past months and no one was able to provide a solution yet. At least not for the Touch Pro.

this is real annoying... you would think it would be some simple registry edit...

i have the same problem and few others. on my tilt i have about a week of notification, i mean that the the item is displayed on the today screen for like a week. on pro its only 1 day. and the last one is when i click on calendar from the tf 3d screen, it always goes to day view and not month. i already changed the calendar options for month view. what should i do?

Hmmm, too bad? Or yet another impulse for renewed searching for a solution? Even the TyTnII I had before the Touch Pro had more items in sight. And one'd assume it's a registry setting somewhere. Anyone with good insight in that?

If your own the "home" screen and slide your finger from the bottom to the top of the screen the clock will become smaller and it will show more appointments.
-Tim

If I slide the clock up to make it smaller on the "Today" screen I do get the smaller clock but still just the 1st cal. event of the day and no others, even on days with 5-6 meetings set. I wish this were the case for me. It seems like the intended function for this smaller clcok view. I liked the WM Today view with the Cal. events on the Today screen but like the TF3D too much to give it up because of this Cal. issue.

WM6 : Today separator ?

Hi
I just saw that there's a way to hide separator lines on today screen.
This is a good thing.
But, I would like to know if there's a way to add some invisible separators on the Today screen ?
I have 3 "blocks" : HTC Home, PDA Status and Wireless info.
They are too close one from each other.
So I woud like to put space between them.
Is it possible ?
Thank you very much

hi,
have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475040
nothin provides information about that.
lezioul.

Thank you
Thanks to that, I won't have to edit the registry myself
Another little question.
I would like to know how is it possible to modify the Today plugin which displays Phone/WiFi/Bluetooth info (basically indicates if it's on or off) ?
I would like to display them in a single line (on this time they are displayed in two lines ; one for Operator, the other for WiFi and Bluetooth).
Is it possible to modify it, or is there a plugin which allows that ?
Thank you

well, i don't know if it's possible to change the basic layout.
maybe you can try a global search upon the forum and find more information about the registry keys used by wireless today plugin.

S2U2 Voicemail Count

hey folks, got a quick question, the answer to which will probably be obvious and make me feel stupid for asking, but i'm suffering from a brain fart right now. i swear i just read about this a week or so ago, but it wasn't the topic i was looking for, i just happened across it while looking for something else, so i made no effort to write it down or commit it to memory. so here it is: i'm running S2U2 v2.04 on my Tilt. this one is a bit different. it's built into the Shifu 4.2 ROM that i installed the other day and differs ever so slightly from the S2U2 cab that i always install. problem is that (when S2U2 is locked) my voicemail count ALWAYS says -1 (negative 1), regardless of how many voicemails i actually have. anyone out there know a fix for this? i'm sure it's something simple that just isn't occurring to me. i searched for the post that i came across the other week, but no dice! can anyone tell me how to fix this or point me in the direction of the post?
also, not necessary, but this version of S2U2 has the flip clock with the date below it. problem is that when i recieve a text message and it displays on my phone, i can see the date THRU the blue boxed text message, making it difficult to read the text. like i said, it has the flip clock (the one that comes standard with the M2D with Home Weather setup) and the date line that is interfering is on what would be the equivilent of the hh_hm_clockbg.png (gray colored semi-transparent box on the home screen of M2D with Home Weather). anyone know how to get rid of that date line and/or the gray background box? thanks in advance for taking the time to read this, even if you don't know of a fix for it. i appreciate the effort regardless.
