New "Rolex" today clock

I have been working on a different clock for the today screen and this is what I came up with. I was getting tired of the "htchome" style clocks and I wanted to kinda spruce up some things, This took me forever to get everything to line up and BE 100% functional!! If anyone sees a intrest in this then let me know and I will do everything I can to help!
Yes the hands (second,hour,minute) and Date are all functional!!!!
Thanks to everyone for a GREAT FORUM....

Just as soon as I get home sometime today I will try and fill everyones requests! I really like this setup cause it uses hardly any memory! =o)

Hey, that's great, thanks. I have this exact watch. I also have the Explorer II with a black face. How hard was the clock to make? I think the explorer would look better with the theme on my phone.

Sowwwwy!!!!!

Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now

I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.

Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.

Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.

I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:

have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device

Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.

Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".

Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!

works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???

As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!

Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?

So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.

Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

Touch Flo animation on the HTC site different

My ATT Fuze does not have the animation when switching from tabs to tabs.
If you see here:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/touchflo-3d.html
when it moves from one tab to the next, the screen falls back as if changing pages. Mine doesnt do that. Also, on the email page, mine doesnt hide the emails down or up, they just appear, no animation.
I swear, sometimes (most of the times) att just takes the phone out of everything.

HTC have taken this out in later builds to increase the speed when switching tabs in later roms.
I would be interested in enabling this to - should be possible if someone has the origional manila files.
Kris

I think the email bit works.. the down up works if you have more than one email accounts.. when you switch between two accounts the envelope rotates..
I am not sure if thats what you were referring to..

I think the animation is a bit different.. it was never the implementation.. I haven't seen any HTC touch Pro behaving like that..
Even when you see the demo video inside your TP, you'll notice they didn't have the animation the way it appears on the website.. I guess Sales People always show it off more than they can deliver IMHO..

your absolutely right, ATT definitely messed up the interface with their lameness, as usual...
There are skins on this forum, if you search around, that will provide you with those animations. Like others have said, they arent always 100%, they do make the phone feel laggier and sluggish. Also i havent found a skin that
has a working media library for the music tab.... But im sure someone will eventually make something that works good on the Fuze

Thanks for the replies. And when I said "phone", I was actually being a smart ass to say "fun", you know phonetics.
I will check with my friends Sprint version and see if it has it.

Where can I find this demo video? It played once when I was configuring my TP, but I was away and didn't notice it until the very end. Thanks!

you can find if in the \Content\Video folder
it's called Touch_Pro_GettingStarted
Regards,
Kris

Ya that definitely is better than how it is currently. I wouldnt mind if it was a setting in TF3D that we could turn on on and off.
Fade effect = tight lol

Perhaps this could be incorporated into the new roms or even have the option in TF3D config

Touch2 MyMobiler skin

Dear all,
Thanks for all the useful tips over the past few years, I've finally done something worth giving back to the community.
I noticed the HD2 and diamond skins but there wasn't a skin available the correct resolution for my QVGA Touch2... So I decided to make one using the existing skins as examples. The process was pretty straightforward and took me about an hour playing around to get it right.
I know that there will be some issues so let me tell you what I already know before you come back to me to tell me.
Anti-aliasing is a bit rough around the edges, it looks best on white backgrounds. At any zoom level other than 100% it does not go transparent and you have a white edge (which looks a bit ugly). According to other similar threads this is due to a bug with MM not the skin itself.
Also if you switch the skin into landscape it goes wrong. I am hoping that somebody may have some ideas as to how to get MM to rotate the skin, or be able to set a landscape skin up. I could not find any examples of this.
Also I don't think the start button works, although the button is mapped out.
Enjoy, let me know if you have any ideas about rotating it. I don't have much time to adjust but thought other people may well want the same as I did, so here you are. Feel free to improve on it.

Edit: Attaching screenshots

Hei, can you post screenshots, i dont understand whats that...

Apologies for the confusion, I have appended a screenshot as requested.

That is the point! But there was not a skin for My Mobile which makes it look like the Touch2 until now. Those screen shots are actually displaying my phones screen, not an emulator or static screenshot.
Have a look at this site: fuzemobility.com/mymobiler-skins-for-htc-hd2-tp2-and-more/ and you should catch on.

Ok, thought that the screen was "automatically" displayed by mymobiler.....
And since I use direct mobile device connection, never had the need for mymobiler .....
Will give it a try.....thanks for clarification!

(REQ) Carousel Mod for Sense 2.5 (SPB Shell-Like) but not SPB

Does anyone know if this is possible or available. Would be so nice.
To have a carousel function (similar to the SBP Shell panels carousel) that can either replace the sense slider or work as a stand alone app.

That would definitely be cool, but I am pretty sure there is nothing like that at the moment.

I agree, would be nice!
But not going to happen...

You never know...

it would be better if you can Flick the home screen up and down endlessly like a kinda cirkel,
don't know if you'll understand my idea but like this,
if you Flick up you can get to the manila player, further up you'll get to albums further up you get a blank page it would be cool of you can put widgets over there and you flick again you get cookies home tab and another flick to get back at manila home screen.
hope ya'll understand my idea
sorry for my english

I sort of get what u mean. That would be sort of similar to the current sense slider but with 2 differences; Upwards/downwards scrolling instead of side to side. And different animation style for the transition of each page (flip, fold, flick etc). Nice idea...bu I would prefer the carousel better.
Had a look around the SPB shell threads and got the impression that there may be legal / patent related stuff that means the "carousel" is only for "spb mobile shell". So currently using both on my HD2 and a neat toggle switch app to change between Sense & SPB. ALthough SPB is nice (lots of eye candy) I prefer Sense (smoothness & speed) but would love that carousel or something similar.
I know nothing about apps & programming (should have paid more attention in IT classes) so just hoping someone here latches onto the idea.
