Ive seen the 1st Hero with real animation on the Home flip clock, I know devs took it of as a memory hogger, Is it me? but I dont recall seeing the home flip clock's animation even when I had all stock apps. I;d like to get it from GSM Hero and use it over here.. if any one can get it please post apk files.
Thanks in advance.
Clock animation and i think certain weather animation too was taken out for us to reduce lag. I dont care though, i'd like to have the animated flip too.
I just want the weather animation lol, that crap is cool on a winmo phone.
i want the weather animations and the clock!!!!

I'm pretty sure nobody has this widget anymore. Sense no longer includes this. I'm pretty sure the only way to get it is to find an early unreleased build of Sense. Haykuro's old builds would work but I was never able to get one from him.

Same here. When installing, it says...
"Clock widget could not be installed on this phone."
i tried installing through package installer, adb push, and i also tried to figure out the differences between the apk's of the one that kendong included in the linked post and the one on our heros. i tried to put some files that looked like handled the flip animation work, but its not working. D:
Got the file.. here it is if anyone else wants to look into it.

It was released - the original pre.2.73 (1.7x) had the flip clock. 2.73 was a "performance" update that removed the flip. Personally, I'm of the opinion that it wasn't the flip per se that caused the lag, just that it was seen to be.
You can find the ROMs here.

Dave
i'm thinking that this isn't possible. not sure though.
after messing around with 4 different htcclockwidget.apk s, i've noticed that there's not actually a difference between the one that doesn't flip and the one that does. i think the differences lie in the AndroidManifest.xml, which is doing some sort of weird thing because when i place the old AndroidManifest.xml in the widget we have, Clock doesn't show up under the HTC widget menu to add. i have the feeling its got to do with the version numbers that are stored in the AndroidManifest.xml, but i can't seem to open the file because there's some sort of a syntax error. if i could access it the chances of making it work are probably 1% higher anyways, cause i don't know xml
Justinisyoung, tell me what I would need to change in it. My desktop runs Linux, so I may be able to open it somehow

i'm really not quite sure, which is why i'd like to take a look. but i have an idea that it's the operating system versions, for example, the old clock widget was probably made for 1.73 or whatever the first version was. we have to probably change it so it works with our version... cause apps have to be version consistent.

yeah so do i tbh, even the winmo sense port has the animation.
Android XML files are NOT standard XML files, they're compiled binary. I'll refer to Stericson's post here on why you can't simply edit these.
i don't see how it could be a resource hog when there are other animated clock widgets?
Hopefully they'll have it figured out and fixed in the 2.1 update.

Since a lot of people are flashing between several 2.1 ROMs and (as far as I know) none of them have, by default, a clear lockscreen.
I whipped up this MetaMorph theme to solve this issue. Now, you merely have to download this .zip, run it in MetaMorph and reboot, and voila! Clear lockscreen
THIS IS FOR 2.1 SENSE ROMS ONLY.
I have only tested this on Fresh 2.0c, however it should work on DC and DarchLegend as well. If anyone wants to confirm that'd be great.
How do you use this, you ask? Well, let me tell you!
Download the attached .zip
Download MetaMorph from the Market (donate version, preferably!)
Copy the .zip to a folder called AndroidThemes on your sdcard
Start MetaMorph (give it SU permissions and go through the checks), click Pick Theme and select Clear_Lockscreen
Click com.htc.resources.apk
Click 'Apply'
Give it a little bit of time to update. When it's done, reboot your phone, and your lockscreen will be nice and clear
Also, please feel free to use this as an example for future MetaMorph themes. Personally, I find that using MetaMorph is much, MUCH easier than creating all new update.zips, as this allows you to only change certain files within certain .apks which makes it very versatile and practical.
Enjoy

What is metamorph? just flashing a zip isn't enough anymore? When did this metamorph show up?
Unless I'm missing something, this isn't a clear lockscreen. It's just the clear lockbar that we've had without issue. A clear lockscreen is what we are after.
The attached is nothing more than an update to com.htc.resources.apk to remove the lockbar. Don't need any sort of special application to do something that simple
Having said that, it is nice, especially with the merger of so many different graphics into fewer apks with 2.1, to be able to just flash a diff, for affecting only certain things, without changing / affecting other mods someone may have already done...

And to the post 2 above this: MetaMorph has been around for a while, it just never gained much popularity in phones that used Sense.

Same thing I did...and I would assume you didn't make a NAND backup...just like me. Only solution you have is to reflash...sucks. Grab titanium backup from the market. It will put most of your stuff back. Only messes up a few widgets for me, and taking the off and putting them back on is easy.
Good luck!

I wonder if the lockscreen layout is setup for a higher resolution device (HVGA) instead of the Hero (QVGA). If that's so, then you could theoretically replace the XML layout files related to the lockscreen from a ROM where the lockscreen is displaying correctly into this ROM.
-Daryel
have you tried pushing HtcLockscreen.apk back to /system/app and rebooting ? or if you go to one of the modded DC roms regawmod (sp?) there are several customizations including the espresso rosie which if they did it correctly should include the espresso lockscreen so you can just flash it and get the stock lockscreen back. as far as how to get the vanilla android lockscreen going I can help with that.

I have yet to use the lockscreen that everyone wants simply because a. I had no idea it existed and b. I have no idea how to get it. if someone figures this out I am all over it lol. Wish i knew how to help.
the stock android lockscreen will not display right on new sprint 2.1 roms this has been stated in many forums already there is no fix
Guys, just use Android Commander. It does all the ADB commands in a GUI. Useful stuff, it is. If you know where to push/pull stuff and know to backup things before you delete them, you should really only need Nandroid to save you from being unable to boot (stuck on HTC screen, not bootloop).

Guys,
I would appreciate help in locating these clear widgets since I can't find them. Im interested in the small and large digital clock; and small and large weather as well as the clear calendar.
I got spoiled by the "clear as a bell" theme for hero 1.5 roms and now would like the same for 2.1.
I found the clear lockbar but am still missing the rest.
Thanks.
EEK Now I wanna make a all clear theme... See what you have done. umm you can get some of these clear widgets from a app called Beautiful Widgets... Its in the android market, but its a paid app.. IMO its worth it.

Thanks. Someone else suggested Beautiful Widgets but I think it would be a good idea to have a free solution for all the peeps.
I can't believe Im the only one asking about this since so many people loved the "clear as a bell" theme and widgets. That thread had a ton of hits.
Lockscreen is from JsChiSurf, clock is Beautiful widgets, appointments is pure calendar, powerbar is a metamorph theme. Not pictured is pure messenger which lists sms messages.
It's available, but the good stuff are paid apps in the market.
Here. Push this in place of the htc clock widget. clear weather and digital.
http://www.4shared.com/file/EkZgESRd/HtcClockWidgetclear.html
i was hoping for a port of the clear as a bell set for 2.1 as well. i was comparing the apk's of the 1.5 widgets to the 2.1 widgets, and saw a bunch of png's that were in common. however, the 2.1 set has more png's, so i am not sure of the implications if we just copy and replace the old png's into the 2.1.
I tried Beautiful Widgets and looks like the most customizable widgets I have ever seen. They are great. I just wish they had the extra small digital clock and extra small weather.

I seriously doubt that they will work but you never know. Worst case I think the widget will stop working (I hope). Anyone know for sure?
What would be the commands to push the png's and to where exactly?
I also love the clear clock and weather widgets. I am not sure what 2.1 rom you are using but if it is DC 2.7 then what I did was flash darkstars theme which has the clear main clock/weather widget. Then I flashed back to markstheme cause I like the overall color/taskbar stuff better and the clear clock/weather widget stayed for some reason, which I am happy about. I didn't feel like paying for the beautiful widget app.

You don't want to push the png's. You would need to put the png's in the proper place in the proper apk file, then you would push the apk file like this:
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app
I might be able to help you out, but I am not sure which clocks you are talking about. I see a small digital clock widget and am guessing the large one is the one with weather. Not sure what you mean by small and large weather.

Sorry, I mentioned a medium digital clock, but I was mistaken. The only medium digital clock is the one in Beautiful Widgets. It takes up about half the space as the HTC one. That one is clear already though.
Here is a pic with the 4 widgets:
There are a couple different ways to make them clear, so look at the pic of the two clocks - attached here - and see if that is what you want. I wasn't sure if you wanted the white to be clear too. Side note, screencasting won't work here at work, sorry for the bad pics.

The power control widget is part of settings.apk so if your trying to use it in sense it won't work

I would love to see this ported to AOSP and even Sense ROMs too. It seems like they're doing it over in the Evo forums and it doesn't appear to be part of the Settings.apk. Instead, there are a bunch of framework modifications that are required. Mainly to framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and services.jar (but some others too).

I know next to nothing about this, but just pulled the framework files from CM6.1, AOSP 0.9.8 and a Stock Evo to compare to the files from those at the above thread. Highly doubt I'll get anywhere with it, but who knows!

Wow... Widgetsoid looks great. Thanks for the recommendation.
However, just to clarify, what I was referring to (perhaps we're not all on the same page) is the power controls notification bar found on CM 6.1. That would be sweet to have as it saves some space on your home screens that can be used by other widgets or shortcuts.

it's impossible. others and myself have asked god knows how many times and always the same answer. it's impossible to do on the stock lockscreen, which sucks.

But I thought that CM uses stericson's lock screen? I think I remember seeing it in the changelog a while back, I could be wrong
Why not, should be possible in CM...
probably not exactly the old way, but one could add the background to the proper xml, compile framework and then you just morph the background what u want.
If I'm not mistaken, the Sense ROMs have this capability, which sucks for anybody using Stock / AOSP.
I would think CM had a built in method of doing this by now....
