I was having a hard time finding a clock widget that really suited my needs, so I leaped into the big world of android development, and started making my own. It has now reached a state where I want to share it with others.
Features so far:
Shows time/date (DUH).
Opens either standard, Moto Blur or HTC Alarm clock on tap.
Opens either standard, Moto Blur or HTC Calendar on tap.
Nothing much, pretty basic.
Features to come:
User selectable backgrounds
User selectable fonts.
User selectable apps to open on tap.
Background used in this version is borrowed from Pure Calendar Widget developed by koxx.
Custom font implementation done by Semicuda, developer of TypoClock. Big thanks to him.
Version history:
0.2 New widget sizes. Now have a 2x2 and 4x1 with time and date, and two seperate 2x1 widgets with either time or date.
0.1 Initial version

Please report back what you think, and if you experience any bugs or have feature requests.
Great App! You should make it possible, to select only clock, or only date, or clock and date horizontal, and the standard clock and date vertical. have fun at coding =3
transp background?
There is already a clock called DigiClock. I can't give other details because I can't remember them as I uninstalled it due to massive battery usage. I've just started a thread about that too, so I'll go and edit it now to make it clear I'm not referring to your particular clock.

Ok, so basically this is a sorta home screen (hs) theme that I made. I wanted the clock and all the other widgets to sorta blend in with the background and add to the picture as if it was really there... and this was my creation:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: The left screen was left blank for you to fill in with whatever you want. I have my quick contacts there (which is why it's blank - for privacy reasons) and they blend in pretty well also .
In any case, the theme is made up of a few things:
Background image - bg.jpg
Analog Clock - G_TowerClock.cab
Mail/SMS mod - G_Mail-SMS mod.cab
Weather - Co0kie's weather widget- install that also and place it halfway between the first and second screen.
Just install those two files and set up the background image (very wide!) and you're set to go
For those who were wondering, I use 3 levels, so my first level (0) is like my regular HTC sense homescreen, the 2nd (1) is always something impressive [this ], and the 3rd is always quick links.
Cheers!

Thats pretty cool
Good job man.........
Indeed, a cool & personal theme Great job
So now you almost have two themes if you extend your Geek Clock to a Geek Theme

Lol yea I have my Ultimate Geek Redesign (in my signature) which is basically an unifinished theme that I want to continue adding to, because, quite frankly, whenever I show people it they laugh
Hello again.
I would like to recommend You yet another functionality that comes from alarm clock that I've developed. This time it is simple digital clock widget.

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The goal was to make neat widget that don't require unnecessary permissions , has small size (app and ram) and does what is says - displays time on digital clock .
In version 1.2:
When screen got unlocked there was widget time value update lag.
Time value on widget didn't update when user changed phone time.
Just installed it, looks good! Two things
1) Pressing the time should take you directly to the alarm, in my opinion at least
2) There is a small glitch with the graphics on my LG P500, check out the small black lines on the left and right sides at them bottom of the widget:
Thanks for notices. I will prepare new graphics.
I have added things that Jens Christensen mentioned (v1.3). Thanks .
Small fixes&improvements in 1.4:
Time value on widget didn't update when user changed phone time backward or changed time zone.
Refresh improvements for Android >2.1.x.
I don't like widgets in this style, but I can suggest you to make a transparent and a grey version, and post the all the changes on each version on second post, it's better to see.

Please comment!
I hope that you will not circumvent the donation button.

Nice and simple, like the analogue clock & calendar widgets together. You could possibly have a calendar/clock/battery widget with the same theming. Thanks

@up Thank you! I ask for your opinions, comments. So it can support my work.

sent from my CM7.1 iNexusMatte s5570
great job mate !
i like the clocks
Just asking...
Really love the widgets (in fact I use them on my Widget Locker screen: so nice!) but is there a way to have the widgets in 1x1 size? Reason for asking is that I would also have them on my (ADW EX) homescreen which is set up for 5x5 but I only want to "spend" 1 row for time / date.
Cheers!
Update: Battery 1.5
little cute app
simple and nice~
Polaroid styled Widget Frames.
- scalable
- rotating
- customizable
I have "extrated" from my last app the polaroid part and have enhanced it to fulfill my requirements
I like it this way - hope you too

cool app
i tried the app ant it was really cool and stable .. not force closes and any other issues the only thing that i would like to mention is that : when you press the widget there is not a transition effect that would make it look smoother and more attractive
No N7 support?

Scalling widgets requires android 4 as far as I know.
I will check it once again...
Contact Widget Frames Pro has 2x2 Polaroid widget and has lower reqs.
It has fewer options but it is still nice one widget.
I will think how to lower requires for system version.
Idea 01: I am thinking of creating two widgets 2x2 and 3x4 - scalable, not only one. This way older systems would be also able to use it just without scalling.

another Reborn for my package.
once again issues with google play visibility - now the problem is gone
app is restyled due to licensing limitations
hope you like this "lifting"
details in the first post.
Hey Guys,
i started my first Android app in play store a few days ago and i want to share it with you.
It called "Precent Clock Widget" and is very simple.
Precent Clock Widget
With this app i want to test the usability of the play store because i currently work on a bigger android project.
In a few weeks i think you will hear more about it.
Screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do you like this app and if not why?
Greetings Julien
I really like it! Simple, lightweight and easy on the eyes.
I really like the spacing. The sizability on my HTC Desire C screen is perfect. Looks great with transparency & colour changed.
One question... what does KW mean? Is it the calendar week?
Some features that would make it even better:
Preferences to choose info displayed (battery, operator, date, etc).
Preference to launch clock app, or any other app, on single tap (maybe launch settings with double tap?)
CW or Wk for English version. (Instead of KW)
I have PM'd you corrections to your Play Store description in English. Hopefully it will help

Thanks for your help !
For the English CW i will roll out an update today.
I'll try to build in the other features in the next week but im also working on an other project so i cant promise.
