hi, i am looking for a way to replace the std clock to a analogue clock without to many changes to the phone software.
currently i have the std shipped software running on the phone.
any help/direction is appreciated.
thanks
You have to install a mod which includes the possibility to display analog clocks.
There are some of such mods available, search for MaxManila (for earlier Sense versions), earlier versions of the "Dusk theme" which includes a clock array, or go directly for the famous "Cookiemonster Home Tab" (CHT), either version 1.7 or 1.8.
I think the biggest choice for analog clocks available is for CHT. This mod gives you complete freedom what to do with your home tab - you can actually leave the optics close to stock, if you prefer.
Co0kies Home Tab mod really does seem to offer the largest range of analogue clocks (and various ways of displaying them both on the home screen, homescreen alternative levels, and lock screen.
You can download CHT here.
If you do choose to go down this path, then this thread is a good starting point for clocks. It lists pretty much every CHT analogue clock thread on XDA (that I'm aware of )
If you can't find something you like among the listed threads then ... I guess it just ain't out there! *lol*
If you're feeling really creative then you may want to give making a clock a shot yourself. Here's a tutorial if you're interested.

I have noticed that not everyone owning a TP views posts in the other forums. With all the smart ones we have in this forum, I want to post my request here in case the one with the answer doesn't read requests in the Diamond forum.
Has anyone attempted putting the analog clock in the TF2D manila files into a VGA format for the TP/Diamond? I enjoy the look of the analog much more than the clocks we have. The clock we have isn't bad, but it does dominate the Home screen. I'd love to have something more subtle, allowing me to view more of the wallpaper. This would also allow me to view more of the Calendar information (assumption based on size).
Anyone good enough to attempt this? I know I'm not.
and this is what I'm talking about for those only familiar with TF3D.
Heyy
Im looking for a today screen plugin which needs to have these features:
+ Large Clock
+ Date (Possibly With Current Day To)
+ Configurable Links To Programs
Im looking for something with a configurable height because im also using the PhoneEx today plugin which i would like to keep at the very bottom of my today screen ((it looks better there) Im currently using iPhoneToday as a launcher but i think it looks too cluttered and doesn't show the date or time)
If it had the time and date at the top or middle and then the application shortcuts at the bottom and with a transparent background, that would be fantastic
it needs to look clean and simple, but be finger friendly
I know that this is a lot to ask but if somebody could point me towards something like this, preferably free, then i'd be very greatful
Pocket Digital Clock (dev/hacking) is an awesome plugin. It has everything you want except the launcher. You can adjust the clock size, font and color. It also shows the date. I use one of the custom fonts; there are several options, and you can make your own.
Thanks, I Solved My Problem By Getting SPB Mobile 3 Shell But Ill Check Out Pocket Digital Clock Too
Thanks Alot
I have installed a new analog clock to my hd2, but it does not show up my home screen. I have done a soft reset a few times and still no show. Is there a registry change I have to make to activate this analog clock? I am running a stock 1.43 ROM. Any help with this will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You need to first install a clock array cab package, with all the files needed for the clock array to function.
You can then just install an analog clock cab or components, to replace the graphic files for the existing analog clock.
Just make sure you install a clock array for your version of Sense.
Many of them you'll find, have BG4all, or other mods included, so be careful to look for only what features you want, when selecting your clock array .cab.
There are several modders, who have made different clock arrays, just search and I'm sure you will find more then you need.

+1 I would like to change it to analog clock as well.
I would like to know what is the MINIMUM steps/changes/modifications I need to do to achieve this too. Any help? Please.
I searched the forum for (1) Co0kie.20Quicklinks_v1.0.1, (2) Jaguaralani My Clock Array and (3) Jaguaralani Simple MaxM for Sense Clocks + 20 Fixed Hands. I then installed (1) then (2) and then (3). Hope this helps, this is what worked for me. BTW, I am running ROM 1.66 Manila 1921.

Hello together,
I'm playing around with all these apps, themes, roms since 2 days and I already changed a lot of things which are nice, but there are still some things which are bugging me and I can't find a solution for them. it would be really nice if you could help!!
I have installed MaxManila 2.5 V3.0 and the DKBlack theme and several other little stuff.
So now the problem is:
1. that my digital clock has a transparent background, is it possible to change this back to a white or something else? just transparant doesn't look so good in my opinion.
2. The icons on my home tab for the shortcuts are the old ones, how can I change them to new ones which I've downloaded and which are already working in the main menu?
3. Maxmanila produced a crazy flame background for me which is already not correctly centered I think, so at my phone the background is already zoomed in, so its not very sharp. Also I haven't found a way to change the background because it doesn't work with the normal menu. I don't want to stick with the flame bg
4. The Maxmanila Links for Last call,, calender etc. don't make any sense in my opinion, I mean I still have the same links at the bottom, so how can I remove them or replace them by something more useful, like a birthday reminder or something like that?
I think thats it for the moment.
THX for any help!!
Hm...is MaxManila really for HTC HD2?? I mean I realized that they don't have the normal HD2 menu at the bottom? I want to keep that, but now it makes sense that they installed this 4 icons for calender under the clock.
So is Maxmanila really for HD2 or is Cookies Home tab the better choice? Is there a way to change the clock also with the cookies home tab?
THX for any responses!!
Complete newbie here. I searched and searched and couldn't find anything resembling a tutorial on how to change clock graphics on an HD2. I downloaded two nice ones to my SD card, but haven't got a clue on how to change. My level of current expertise---I downloaded the JWMD icon changer and the Anastasia icon set and all is good. Now to change clocks and then maybe I'll have the guts to try a new ROM. Thanks for all of your patience!
First you had to do:
Download Coockie Home Tab and Coockies Home tab editor:
get it here:
Coockies Home Tab:

Coockies Home Tab Editor:

After install it:
Tab on MenĂ¼--->Home Layout--->Tab and Hold on the clock--->Tab on next.

With Cookies Home Tab and Home Tab Editor can I use any downloaded clock graphics, or do I have use the ones provided?
You Download the clock you like and install it. And than you can change it with the editor.
You want your standard clock back unintall the clock.

Once you have installed Co0kie's Home Tab (and CHTEditor) you can use any of the clocks from threads dedicated to making clocks for that mod (like mine *shameless self promotion*)... OR ... have a look here. You may decide you would like to make one yourself
