Hey guys. I'm in search of an animated flip clock, identical to the one found on HTC devices. After hours of looking around, I've decided that there is not one out there that flips AND looks just like the HTC one. However, after playing around with Better Alarm Clock Pro, I found that it has a working flip clock built into the app, but it cannot be used as a widget. This brings out the question: Can this portion of the app be ported so that it is a widget? I am rooted, on an Optimus V running Stock ROM with everything stipped, if it matters. Thank you.
Just use fancy widget, looks and flips pretty much the same

Fancy Widget with the H7C skin looks almost exactly like the sense flip clock.
Go weather's htc style widget looks close too. Just download go weather and then the skin for the widget.

He wants it to flip too. Like the animation. This isn't currently possible according to fancy widget. It is in the FAQ on their site.
Fancy Widget Pro is quite good to pretend as HTC Sense clock, Retro Clock Widget is an alternative for simple flip clock
I believe the flipping animation is part of Sense UI... soo you can't exactly replicate that.
Anyways I understand it'd look cool for the first hour or so when you're looking at your widget to flip..
you'll forget about it later, and it'll cause to be nothing more than a battery eater.
I own fancy widget pro and am using the h7c skin, but it doesn't flip. Better alarm clock pro has a working flipclock built in and I just want to know if it can be ported?

Hello? Surely this is possible?

Try a LWP instead of a widget search the Marketplace for "Live Wallpaper Flip Clock" by Sergey Golovanov it is not bad and may accomplish the effect you are looking for.
Thanks for the reply, RifRaf, looking into it at this very moment. But my original question is still not answered. PLEASE can anyone tell me if it is possible to port it. I don't know how to develop apps or scripts or any of that stuff. All I know is that the flip clock is there, within the app, and I just want it on my homescreen.
The flip is part of htc's framework. Its not part of androids. Theres no way to make it work.

well I know I sound like I'm a dumbass here, but I know that the stock android system is capable of animated Widgets. I've used a clock with rolling animation, so I know that animation is possible. I also know that better alarm clock pro has the HTC flip clock. How can it not be possible to animate the flip clock as a widget? All of the image files are there, it just needs to be coded or scripted or whatever (I'm not programming inclined, obviously). If anyone can make a widget out of this, I would be happy to give them a few drinks.

If youre not programming inclined then why do you insist it can be done? I have been told by many developers, it can not be done. Talk to any sense dev, theyll tell you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
Can any developers just theme this app using the image sets found in better alarm clock pro? Idk If it is possible to add weather but would it not be possible to theme it?

Look, if I had several hundred dollars to throw away just so I could get a damn flip clock....I am fine with my phone how it is. The flip clock is 100% possible, there was a working flip clock posted earlier in this thread. It just needs to be themed to look like the htc one.
I have my entire sense theme put together, I just need this flip clock widget to happen, so I can make it complete.
It doesn't really look like HTC Sense, but it flips...
Try out "Animating Flip Clock Widget" - it's free on the market. I'm sure the apk could be modded to look more like the Sense clock.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized the link posted earlier was the same widget. Oh well... but yeah, I'm sure it could be modded, but making it look exactly like the Sense flip clock, including weather, the dark background behind the tabs, etc... might be difficult.

Browsing the net for some splash screens/wallpapers and so on, I've accidentally found some nice lockscreens made by nick1313. I was wondering if there are also available for our Desire S (originally they're made for Evo 4G)
I've included a picture below to see what I'm talking. Mainly I'm interested in that nice central electronic watch, eventually if there's such a widget to be placed on the screen
I'm on Endymion v2.1 with the HD honey theme and the clock your after is in:
Personalize,display, lock screen style, clock ,settings,spin cycle clock which is the last one number 11. Cheers gordon

Thank you for the tip, I'll check the scheme, but I'm on CM ROM and I'm quite happy with it, don't want to change it only for a lockscreen. I was hoping to find something that will work on CM ROMs
No probs very new to all this not sure if the clock is part of the rom or the theme. Cheers gordon

That is the very same clock I use and can confirm it's a sense 3.0/3.5 rom lockscreen. But I do like the unlock ring goes well with the clock.

Actually bud I can't take credit for those, Mando41 actually made them, I think. Here's a tutorial for it that I've found but haven't ever used.
EDIT: Just saw you said lockscreen. Did you mean lock ring? The lock screen is just an HTC lock screen right?
Don't know exactly what the posibilities are, that's why I said "lockscreen" (in the print screens there was the lockscreen). What I'd like to have is that digital round watch as a widget on my screen or, if that's not possible to have a lockscreen as you have in the prints.
It just crossed my mind now that the digital watch is on the desktop and the lockscreen has transparent background so it's seen through it.
I'll check the link you've provided and see if I can do something that works on CM ROM not MIUI

Hi, really do like that unlock ring mod I believe its an apk sense skin, correct me if I'm wrong cos most lockrings are modded thru skins.
Would you be kind to direct me to the thread that I can find this mod please.
Cheers.

MasterDL from what I've read and understood, that is the standard sense lockring lockscreen with a moded lockring. Nick has already provided a link to a tutorial for making those custom lockrings (check his post). For this to work though, you should have a ring lockscreen integrated in the rom (Sense based or MIUI as far as I saw). Unfortunately there's no such lockscreen in CM (the "ring" lockscreen in CM looks different)
^ Yeah I know, I am asking for it Cos I am a sense 3.5 user and like to know where this thread is so I can make one myself.
I'm talking about that ring in your first post.

HERE is the tutorial nick has pointed to, for the rest you can check the links in his signature. There are some screens and mods on that site too.
You can also search XDA for "lockring lockscreen" and you'll find plenty of threads that also have sample lockrings for you to use if you like to build your own
Hello All! I was wondering if anyone know any replacements for the sense clock app. I am running Virtuous Inquisition and the only thing I really miss is the world clock app from sense.
Does anyone know any apps that have timer and stopwatch and world clock functionality?
I restored my Titanium backup of the sense clock but I can't add any cities to the world clock, so it's useless for me. Any help would be appreciated!!!!
UltraChron is a good timer/stopwatch replacement - for world clock try: World Clock & widget

I was hoping someone knew of an all in one app like the sense clock, but thanks for the suggestions!!
hmm i guess that's a no. anyway thanks for the help.
Try that out
Hello,
i would suggest you to try
Beautiful widgets: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&hl=de
or
Fancy Widgets: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.fancywidgets&hl=de
Both are good
You won't really find one as polished and beautiful as the sense clock.

Ahh I see I already have beautiful widgets. I got it on the 10c sale. I use on my homescreen, but it doesn't have a separate clock application. It just uses whatever is in the ROM.

Yes I am starting to see this. It's very surprising as the iPhone has it and usually there are apps that will try to accomplish the same thing on android. If anyone is looking for an app to write, here is a good one. I would certainly buy it.
Also I wish I could get the world clock from working on Virtuous Inquisition. Everything works except searching for cities. There must some app or framework which has been removed that will accomplish this. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really really appreciate it.
So, I've been using Beautiful Widgets since Eclair. I was wondering two things:
1) What is a good, highly customizable, clock widget? Specifically one where I can use a non-system font to personalize it.
2) In general, without my specifications, what is your favorite clock widget?
Ultimate custom clock

Tried Ultimate Clock but ended up using Advanced Clock. I'll try Ultimate again but the interface didn't lend itself to picking a new font.

if you liked Beautiful Widgets you will Love Fancy Widgets. I would highly recommend you to try it out!
you should try beweather.
There is a big thread on Xda forums for skins for ultimate custom clock, beautiful widgets is quite good but I found fancy widgets to be a huge battery drain.

UCCW is awesome, but if you are on ICS (or using any of the ICS versions) the widgets don't refresh like it does with BW. IMO BW is the best in working wise, while customization goes to UCCW. I mean UCCW widgets do work, but they are a bit delayed. I think it has to do with the lockscreen. Not sure why though.

Bought Fancy Widgets a while back but haven't used it in a while. Might be time to go back!

Fancy Widgets costs money?!?
I am pretty bored of the beautiful weather widget and want to try something new. Any recommendations? Don't like too much clutter on my home screen, so would like something small but fancy.
Thanks!
My go to all the time is beweather. Find it in the market. Best weather app hands down and the devs are great guys too.

To give recommendations on this is going to be subjective to the individual. I used BW for a while, then switched to Fancy Widgets. I have used multiple other weather and clock widgets as well. I am running CM7 and my choice of clocks and/or weather widgets really depends on my theme of the week (or day). I like beweather as well and it goes great with a theme I have. I have 5 weather widgets (google news and weather included) that I switch up and the only pain I have is turning off or minimizing refresh times for weather. Is there anything in particular you are looking for such as weather only, clock and weather, 4x1, 2x1, etc?
Beautiful widgets released a big update. Give it a try again!

Beautiful widgets
Beautiful widgets is a very good app. They jujst had a big update and their clocks have lots of customization, and they look identical to HTC Sense clocks/weather widgets
Im using HD Widgets and im very happy whit it

I was wondering if i could keep the weather clock by backing up the apk for when i update to the JellyBam ROM. Will this work? If not are there any apps that are exactly the same as the default weather clock? Thanks
The widget can't be migrated, it requires the Sense framework.
Beautiful Widgets has one app that has a decent clone of the HTC weather clock. I believe there are some others I've seen recommended by other XDAers, as well.
that's sad to hear but i guess i can live without it, thanks for the super fast reply.
Try this one... I've used it for months on CM and its almost identical and fully functional... Install as apk :thumbup:
