Possible fix for HTC Weather/clock widget

I don't know if it is just the Sprint Hero, but the big clock widget that has the weather does not update the time. I am using DC 2.05 and have had the same problem running the stock ROM as well.
I have the transparent 2.1 flan style lockscreen so I can see the homescreen without having to unlock the phone, and unfortunetly their are 3 clocks, the lockscreen one, the one in the upper right and the HTC clock widget is in the middle and always off.
I will give an example (It is not because of the 2.1 lockscreen either, I and many others have had this problem who are using the HTC lock screen)
If i turn my phone on at 6:00 and send a text, and then turn it off,
Then check an email at 6:20, when I turn my phone on I see the transparent lockscreen so I can see the lockscreen time, and the upper right time is 6:20, but the HTC clock widget is at 6:00, becasue that is the last time I turned my phone on. Then after 2-3 seconds after I unlock my phone, the HTC clock will update to 6:20.
I know this seems reiculous but the widget takes up half of the home screen and doesn't even work right.
I have never developed an app or anything, but think I know the problem
I used Beautiful widgets and the main clock that shows the time and the weather always had the right time.
The problem must be that the HTC clock does not have access to, or is not getting the time from the system when the device is off, but rather when the phone is on, it updates it. The beautiful widgets app is, and the minute will change the same time the clock in the upper right does. However, with the HTC clock, when I am on my home screen sometimes it takes 5-6 seconds to change, even when the phone is on. So if my phone was on at 6:00 and I went on the internet for 5 minutes and click home, the HTC clock would stay on 6:00 lag for 5-6 seconds and then change to 6:05. It defeats the purpose of having a big clock..
I have searched and cannot find a fix for this, also I have had this problem when running the stock rom, and have had 2 heros, both having the problem,
any ideas, or way to fix the widget to get system time access?

hum. ive never had a problem with the stock htc clock like that. and ive ran pretty much all the roms out there.. currently on fresh 2.0d...

What he is saying is the Weather and Clock widget under the Htc Clock widget does not update the time unless you are on the home page. You put your phone to sleep, you open an app, make a call, etc and once you go back to the home screen it takes a couple of seconds to update it. Yeah, I have this issue to.
I think the reason that it doesn't update until you are on that particular home screen is to save battery life. Anything constantly checking something will reduce battery time. Might not be alot, but I think that is why.

The widgets don't update while the phone is asleep to conserve battery (as was just mentioned). You only see this behavior because you have a modified lockscreen that makes it transparent. That's not how it is was designed by HTC. The extra few seconds to unlock the phone and actually see your home screen would be the delay it usually needs to update the clock.
That or HTC could make all of their widgets continue to use cpu cycles when you aren't looking at them.

GOTO lock

any1 using this locker? i got some Q..
y i cant chnage wallpaper on my lock screen.
n y no weather info on my lockscreen?
is there a way to remove our x10 default locker?

I really don't understand all of your writing, but anyway:
I used goto several weeks but replaced it by the latest lockbot pro.
I doubt you can delete the original lock screen, as it is used for more running apps on your phone. I read somewhere if you delete the lock screen and reboot you can t enter your pin anymore, as this is the same lock you see.
Goto and lockbot both over write the original lock screen after one time showing the original once. It is in both apps an option which you can check.
In the latest goto you can change background, but not directly from the lock screen. They made a separate app, goto setup I believe its called. You can find it in your program list. There you can change background and select apps for your shortcut.
Hope this will help you.

ya i changed my background under the goto settings.. but still my desired wallpaper is not appearing.

I have the same problem. But it is only in 1.15 version. On v. 1.12 it was OK, until they didnt separate app and settings.

i had the same problem just try un-installing the app and re-install i still can't get the weather to work but i can confirm that the wallpaper works

well, I have to come back at my statement. I just tested now for over a day goto 1.31 and it is still working very well....of course I write this to early but i did not see the original lockscreen anymore but the only thing is your notificationbar can't sroll down anymore after a while. No idea what is the cause of that as it works in the beginning. For me no problem as I don't use it anyway...but keep that in mind when you test it...
1.31 is quicker with unlocking and quicker with opening your shortcuts which you can put in in "goto settings" (different app in your drawer)
Also changing background went well, they finally made it you can resize your wallpaper on your phone so you can just use any picture on your sd card as long it is bigger than 480x854 for great resolution. I have to admit I used google to get it on my phone. I will buy it if it works for over a week. With lockscreens I just want to test it first before purchase as so far nothing worked on the x10 without problems.
Hopefully this one does. So far so good....
Here a screenshot:

Arnold

wallpaper
I am trying whole day with pics of any resolution and no succes. Help.

i tested some older version before but deinstalled it because i had the feeling it drained battery real fast ...

I've got 1.33, can't really change wallpapers, lock wise its doing a gud job so far.. gonna work on it later!!

Even though i taught I never use the notification bar, it s rather annoying you can't drag it down. My bar is now full of installed signs from updated apps from the market and I can't erase them because of goto... Really shame as lock wise it worked perfect. How is it with version 1.33? does your notification bar keeps working for over an hour?? It stated in the changelog they solved it, but they said that before...
Also it is impossible to get your phone out of airplane mode! so I delete it now and wait for a lock screen app which will work fully on our phone...
@Mobzter: I send you a pm

Notification bar seems to be working fine here.. so far
As for airplane mode.. I think I understand what ya getting at.. my temp solution is using power button to turn screen of that way you can turn plane mode off after you unlock.. although need to do both swipes this way!

thanks, I am dying to test it
Edit: found it with google!, will test it now!
Edit2:
Notification bar seems to be working. I am curious if it still works tomorrow. V1.31 stopped working after a few hours...
Background change is going well as well (use the program Goto Settings from your launcher to set a different background)
Will test it for a few days and report again. There must be a lock screen replacement out there working for our phone without trouble!
Edit3: after lots of tests I can confirm the notification bar issue is solved, version 1.33 works good on my x10!
Cheers,
Arnold

I have v1.33 as well. I love how you can prevent the volume and camera keys from waking the phone! That was my biggest issue with these lock replacements. You can also disable the home key from "skipping" the lockscreen. Weather isn't showing and haven't tried changing wallpapers yet. For me, the lockscreen is quite quick, and I haven't seen the original lockscreen yet. I haven't noticed any battery drain, so looks like the phone is sleeping properly. Looks like GOTO is getting it right!

My weather is working, I also do believe they have it right this time...indeed a relieve you can disable the volume and camera keys to unlock...

You have an extra app in your launcher called: GOTO SETTINGS
There you can change wallpaper, set your shortcuts, enter your name and lock the volume and camera button for waking up.

n there's nothing in there to do with weather.. unless you're apk is special? lol

[MOD][RETIRED] EC10 Mesmerise NoClock & NoAM/PM

This is the NoClock & No AM/PM mods for EC10 Mesmerize. It will remove the whole clock, or just the AM/PM from your status bar. As before, you only need to flash one of these. If you want to get rid of the AM/PM from your clock, just flash that mod. If you want to get rid of the whole clock, flash the NoClock.
**** This mod is only for TRUE EC10 deodexed ROMs****
****Boot loops may occur if you flash these to something else****
These mods contain part of the framework of the ROM, so after flashing, it will take an extra long time to reboot. This is normal.
Put the zip file on your sdcard. Boot into recovery. Flash the zip. Reboot.
EC10 NoClock
EC10 NoAM/PM
**As a note, ESKBL uses the same framework file so whichever is flashed last will be what you get. I am going to work on a combo of the two for those that want both.**

as always homie, great work

Thank you sir mucho grassy ass lol

I do like how it worked. I don't like the new WiFi/Signal icons. Any way to just get the clock/AMPM removed?
Edit: also the WiFi Full is bigger than the notification bar, great work tho!

Not sure what happened then. I flashed your no clock. It took the clock away, but it also caused a shiat load of issues. USB wouldn't connect unless set to mass storage. It wouldn't let me connect via Ask. Droid Icon went missing while in the USB mount screen. WiFi turned into a odd icon. I'd post a SS but I've already flashed MIUI.
1bar wifi: Vertical bar.
2bar wifi: Horizontal bar.
Full wifi: Big blue box just slightly bigger than the notification bar.
Reception turns into a grey box when full or a Black Underline when not.
Not sure why it did that.

Your sig says you were on frankenclean, is that what you were running when you tried this? It's only for EC10 so that would be why you had issues....

It would have to come from the builder/porter of the ROM. This one will boot loop your phone.

Some Screenshots of the new Lollipop release

I am loving the looks, I mean the Whitish themes everywhere, that's what I wanted for so long. Just some screenshots in case one want to look how some sections look, for fun, that's all. I am stating some of my views on it too, please share yours too.
However not everything is great, I don't like how they have ruled out the scaling on the options, you might encounter one or two mi****s every now and then. I mean when you tap on option of some app, the OK, Discard etc. options have no box outlining those options, so you don't know where the scaling finishes. They shouldn't have done that. Tapping with fingers (which is and will be mostly done) can't always be precise. I have already miss tapped in some places!
I also don't like how they changed the notification clock font size, the AM/PM font is bigger than the clock itself, weird. The lockscreen clock has also been redone, it now has a slimmer font that KitKat, which I am not a fan of.
And I don't know whether this is a placebo effect or not, but am I the only one who is feeling that the in call loudness (volume) is a little softer than KitKat? Don't know, can't be sure.
The Dialler app now goes full screen, I mean edge to edge, simple change yet looks much much better
The Multi-Window mode doesn't have any small U shaped notification any more when enabled at the side of the screen, you just long press the back button to enable or disable it.
The lock screen notifications are directly tap-able and expandable, instead of dragging down and then tapping it to expand it from KitKat.
I guess you guys can use this topic to report bugs, whichever you have found. If this topic seems like a duplicate then remove it immediately.
Have fun.
PS: One more thing, I flashed the Polish version of the ROM on my Arab N9005, 32 GB. I tried to flash the German ROM first, because it had multi CSC but it failed to flash, so keep that in mind, I mean I think the German ROM is meant for 16 GB variants only.

@devilsdouble can we make the white background black?

There is no 16GB Note 3 variant outside Asia... I recall there being an issue with the German rom when flashing over to another back when 4.4 came out. You needed the PIT file to sucessfully flash from the German rom to another. This could be related.

From Developer menu you can invert colors, but that's ... all colors. At least you get rid of white.
I noticed a bug: turning the screen on isn't smooth, it looks like a two step process light up.
A missing "feature": hovering your finger over the lockscreen no longer produces an effect.

And this is why I don't plan on upgrading before at least xposed works perfectly and there is a way to force a black theme onto everything.

Okay after playing with the release for couple of hours I am really not liking it any more (except the colour part). I mean as usual with Samsung, they hurried up and released an unfinished ROM IMHO.
First and the most annoying thing I am noticing that the WiFi password (WPA) is reset every time when I toggle Flight mode back and forth. This is extremely annoying and I am sure there's a way around it, or am I wrong?
- Never mind, it's solved now.
Secondly, where is the Mute/Silent option? I mean it's either Ringer mode or Vibrate mode, but there's no Silent/Mute mode!
Thirdly, the upcoming alarm time doesn't show up on Lock Screen! What the heck?
If someone can tell me how to get rid of the above please tell me, I am mainly annoyed by the first problem though, the WiFi password reset problem.

I've not heard the password issue before. Are you sure it's not just a bug?
The silent mode is split.
You have one toggle that decides how you are notified. (the old sound toggle) Sets to either sound or vibrate.
And another toggle that decides what you're notified about. (Looks like an entry forbidden sign). All, Priority or None. This is where you set Silent mode.
If you set this to priority, you can decide which apps notify you. (settings > sound and notification) Call, text, etc.
If you set it to None, you're not notified with sound or vibration. The notification still shows up on the screen.
Be careful, as this will also silence alarms!
I would suggest priority mode and simply disabling everything in its settings except alarms.
The alarm on the lockscreen, nope. They removed it. Fortunately we can always use GO locker.

I believe the WiFi passwords not saving issue can be solved by editing build.prop (that is how I fixed it on the leaked version, haven't updated myself yet)
Look for ro.securestorage.support and change it from true to false. I tripped the KNOX flag long time ago (doesn't change my warranty) and I haven't noticed any misbehaviours.

Yes, it was a bug, I mean it was a problem because my bootloader wasn't updated. Reflashed the ROM, all is okay now.

Yes, was playing with that Interruptions option and figured that, but still that's a weird way. Don't know why Google decided to ditch the Silent mode, well at least Samsung could have kept that.
Go Locker? Well I tried a lot of third party lockers last week, didn't like any of them. I guess I will have to find a different alarm clock app which could give me an option to show the upcoming alarm time on lock screen, it's such a nifty feature to have. There's a module in Xposed which shows the actual alarm time in status bar (instead of that damn alarm icon) but well Xposed is not yet ready for TouchWiz ROMs, but when it becomes okay I will simply install that module. In the meantime I will have to look for a alarm app, that's all.

^xposed alpha 1 already released have not yet used it though. Still playing around with stock unrooted rom.

Yep mate, just saw that. Is it working okay with TW Lollipop now, I mean no more boot loop? Don't really want to try, in case bootloop happens I will have to redo all those formats and all, which I simply hate.
The only Xposed module I badly need is MinMin Gurad, can't stand ads, and AdAway is, well, complicated.

Notification screen color

Hi everyone! I've been away from XDA for quite awhile, so it's good to be back. Anyway, I just got a Note 10+ and on the first day I somehow changed the notification color on the drop down screen to red. I've been back in the settings screen looking for a solution (Probably been right in front of me this whole time). Can someone show/tell me how to change that color? I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I'm referring to.
Edit: Solved. It was a setting in Good Lock. @moderator: Feel free to delete thread.

Did you change the theme? If you did go back and apply the original theme and see if you can get it go back to normal.
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

I did change the theme, but that was "after" I had this problem. My logic (probably like yours) was that changing a theme would fix it. Then Notification pull down was about the only thing that didn't get changed. I hope this isn't too rude, but I'm going to put a shout out to some of the XDA members that I've been out of touch with: @tdunham, @rompnit. (My memory is going, I thought I would be about to find a few dozen members!)
