REQUEST: HTC Hero Flip clock w/ animation

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.

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.

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 think I understand wht you are describing ....this lockscreen worked fine on DCv1.0 after removing the htclockscreen.apk and i was wondering if we could remove the correct file from there and port it over to this rom it would be fixed .......but i am just guessing, and would not know where to start

Just trying to not get this post buried....... I hope someone is willing to help see if there is a fix for this lockscreen.....I think I officially diagnosed myself with OCD....LOL
And do really appreciate any help.
Bret

I guess either too much going on....... or no fix........ I know this must be an issue for other people... has anyone got a suggestion or a "It cannot be fixed "
Thanks again for all the hard work and dedication!!!!!!!!!! Please help

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).

I f you remove the htclockscreen.apk in this rom you will have this lockscreen with the same problem as it seems that it is setup for landscape or widescreen mode...... forgive me if i am wrong but i have a hard time think this cannot be fixed with all the awesome things that are being accomplished.. I will do whatever i can to help!
thanks a bunch!

I'm interested in this as well. I haven't messed with Android too much but I develop for a living. Does anyone know if the stock 2.1 lock screen is controlled at the source code level or via a configuration file such as an xml? If someone could point me in the right direction, I'll see if I could come up with a solution...

I am living with my deformed lock screen untill someone has a fix.. i hate that htc lock screen.

Rotary Lockscreen?

Hi everyone -- Has anyone found a working rotary lockscreen with the correct transparency settings? I found the "android.policy.jar" file attached and it works, it creates the rotary lockscreen, but it's fully transparent.
I'd like to get it to where it's transparent enough to see my current wallpaper, but not all the widgets and whatnot. It just looks sloppy as it is right now (screenshot attached showing what i mean).
Any help from the better themers among us?
Thanks!!!

does this work with CM6?

Sorry -- I should have done everyone the courtesy of saying what I'm running.
I'm running a Stock Sense 2.1 ROM, de-odexed, with much of the Sense elements removed. Basically a ROM of my own design.
So unfortunately I'm not sure if what I posted will work on CM6 -- but give it a shot!
ADB push it to /system/framework as "android.policy.jar" and attempt to boot.
REMEMBER to backup before any modification! I'm not responsible bla bla bla

I would like to get this lockscreen up and running on 2.2.
I have did some research and seen that it has been done on this 2.2 ROM here.
I have tried pulling the android.policy.jar from that ROM to no success. Can anybody help get this up and going on the Incredible running 2.2??
Here is a picture of it running on 2.2 also.

I got it working on 2.1. I have tried to get it working on 2.2 ever since SkyRaider 1.0 and had no luck. Send me the android.policy.jar from UD and I will take another crack at it. I have never found a froyo Rom where it was working.

Any link to the working 2.2 version?

I too am wondering if the 2.2 version will be released. I would love this!

Ultimate Droid 8 runs this lockscreen on froyo.
http://forums.blackdroidmod.com/ind...3-ultimate-droid-froyo-exteme-800-incredible/
Shouldn't be too hard to use it with other roms as well.

+1 - I'd like to see this on 2.2.

What I want to know is, what is the music player you're using in that screenshot? The only one I've found that shows on the lockscreen is Mixzing...which costs money. I do however think the rotary lockscreen is awesome.

so throw me a bone
now im all new at this but is this rotary lockscreen able to be run on stock incredible or rooted and custom roms running i do like this design so let me knoe

The rotary lock screen is from Android 2.0. In 2.1, it was switched to the slide to unlock screen which is what is also in Froyo. In order to put the rotary lock screen back, it requires modifying the framework which requires root access.

You don't have give up the clock; just the alarms. There's nothing special about them anyhow. The vanilla desk clock gives you the same functionality.

I know, I know. And I'm sure I could port the sounds over. I ran your SR Vanilla ROM for a couple weeks and switched to your Sense version after deciding I just like it better - and one of the reasons (as silly as it sounds) was the clock/alarm look and sound.

HTC Sense StatusBar Icons for N5?

Ah, I know, I might get killed, but is there a way to get HTC Sense StatusBar Icons (network, wlan, battery) to the N5? I liked them a lot on my HTC devices and miss them now.

There is a way, but it would look really weird with the other parts of stock android. All you have to do is decompile the HTC systemui.apk and the N5 apk, then swap all the status bar PNGs.

Hi,
And you need a rom with Theme Chooser, maybe the OP don't want to flash a rom like CM..., for sure it will be more difficult.

But he didn't state what ROM he had. He only asked how he could get sense icons.

Hey, thanks everybody for the suggestions. I'm running stock 4.4.2 and want to stay there. Xposed and Gravity serves all my modding needs. I will have a look to ex-themer. Another launcher is no option though. My N5 runs so stable and smooth (far far better than my previous HTCs with multiple custom roms). Maybe I really should extract the icons from the UI app. Only question is what happens with scaling.

Nothing happens because both phones are XXHDPI. You have to get the images from the HTC One or another HTC phone with a 1080p screen. You should try it, but make a backup so if it doesn't work you don't have to flash the entire factory image.

Is there any way to modify the lockscreen without Xposed?

Hello, I'm on CM14 and Xposed doesn't work with Nougat, so I was wondering if there was an alternate way of modifying/customizing the lockscreen. I'm not a big fan of the default clock widget and would like to get rid of everything except notifications. I haven't been able to find anything other than the third party lockscreen replacements, none of which really work that well for me. Anyone have any ideas?

Okay, thanks. I was hoping for something that I could do without having to wipe my phone and install a new ROM, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.
