Now that we have all sped up our phones, and roms because of this thread by androcheck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622666
(some have also used this thread for a general processor speed up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628178)
Is it time to bring back the original flip clock that seemed to slow down the phone, but should now be ok. I thought it was quite cool, and demonstrated a nice animated widget.
Has anyone got the original HTC Flip(ping) clock, and know where it can be gotten from?
I second this
I'm in!
Or do i just wait untill 2.1?
Come on, please. Somebody must have a copy of the original Flip clock that come out on the hero. Please someone tell me how to get a copy.
I tried extracting the HTCClock apk from the original roms zip from t-mobile, but it didn't work.
Any other suggestions?
Do a search for Beautiful Widgets in the market, it may not be free but i think its what you are looking for

Just checked it out, so two points.
1. Why would I pay for something which is free on hero, where these widgets are to make other phones look like hero.
2. the flip clock is not animated on Beautiful widgets:
taken from:http://www.androidtapp.com/beautiful-widgets/
1 - "... Android home screen widgets resemble the impressive UI of the HTC Sense available on the HTC Hero phone."
2 - "The clock/weather widget is static and doesn’t have the card flip and weather scene animations like the HTC Sense UI but works well. Added more widgets to this set will make it even more sweet!"
So thanks for trying, appreciated. It's the animated original flip clock I am asking about.

and now you're expecting us to do the magic and make it work. because nobody has ever asked for this before. did you have the thought that it just DOESN'T WORK?

It didn't work because perhaps, I extracted it wrongly or I had extracted the wrong set of files. I am not a dev on the hero, so I wouldn't knowhow to remove the current HTC clock and widget and how to install a new one into system memory. All I was asking for was someone who perhaps has got the original flip clock left on their phone (someone who hasn't updated their phone since they got it when it came out) to provide a the widget files.
There must be a way of it working (with the correct files, once they are found) because it did work before.
Look, if it is too much for you then I apologise, I was just asking for the widget.
P.S., when you say "us" in your quote above - do you speak for the whole community?
the process is basically right, there is no magic in copying apk's from a to b. it is just that the whole sense environment goes deep into android. afaik there is still no completely "sense-less" rom available yet that fully works. on top of that sense is from htc and therefore closed source.
did you do a search? you are not the first one to ask for this, several people have tried to get the flip clock back. if it was that trivial it had been done by now. and no, there is no "must" for it to work, with the given resources.
if you want to make sure you get the original widget get it from an official update file here in the stickies, or from an old update.zip which you can find in the stickies at modaco. not sure why someone else should do the job for you?
when i say "us" i mean everybody that feels adressed...
OK cool, I'll try to investigate it further.
Sorry I asked now, I just thought someone may already know the process of extracting the correct flip clock files so they could readily be adb pushed into the phine ti the right place. Other people in this thread also expressed an interest in attaining the files. So sorry that I asked in the Q&A area.
just ask everything again and again, that's totally cool. it were different if that information was already here, let alone several times. and sure, other people making the same mistake does make it better, absolutely. and i really shouldn't tell you that it is most probably not doable, since i havn't tried it myself including deodexing the file to give it a chance to work at all.

That's really cool, I did try (so no, not too lazy) and failed thinking that I might be doing something wrong. That's the only reason I asked the initial question, 'cos I was sure that someone who knew what they were doing or were more experienced might already have it or know how to get it.
I'm glad you've got it. Any chance of sharing once you've figured out how you did it?
well, my trying involved a little more than just copying it from another rom... edit: and by everybody else i mean those people around here that know how to do this, stuff like deodexing etc. not actually EVERYBODY.
for the moment i am having trouble using my phone at all, won't register to network for some reason. i think it is not a good idea to use airplane mode when rebooting and restoring backups frequently, so for now i am repairing...
you can try the attached apk, delete HtcClockWidget.* from /system/app, then push the attached apk and reboot (probably best to do it in recovery). when i tried this yesterday i got errors, today i flashed the whole rom again (no wipe) and it worked... no idea why actually.
Tried what you said, but the clock said it couldn't be installed when I removed the HtcClockWidget.* and replaced it with the one you gave (using adb push).
So I then tried reinstalling the rom, and now all I have is the non-animated flip clock again.
Can you clarify the steps you took to get the animated one installed under modaco 3.1? I just can't get the animated one to work? Thanks again for trying - there must be something that I'm doing wrong.
try this one, install through recovery as usual. there seems to be a difference in using update.zip and adb push, even when pushing in recovery. with this update.zip i can install and use it, but don't get any mobile network connection at all, neither voice nor data. i just arrived at home, i will look into this later again, but tbh i am not too optimistic.
to revert just flash the mcr rom over it, or make a nandroid backup before. make that backup anyway.

EXCELLENT! it worked!
0) Nandroid Backup.
1) I backed up with adb pull both HtcClockWidget.odex and HtcClockWidget.apk from /system/app to my pc.
2) Then I deleted them both from /system/app.
3) I put your update zip onto my SD root directory.
4) Then with amonra I updated with your zip.
5) Restarted, then chose the widget from the add menu on homescreen. Et voila I got the animated flip clock. AWESOME!
THANKS A MILLION Kendong2, hope you get it working ok yours.

i didn't get it working on my own phone (in my old installation of mcr3.1), but actually that installation doesn't work good at all. i think i've something else messed up, it works fine on a fresh installation.
ive search around the forums and all. don't want the custom one. just wanted the stock android version with a compact qwerty version on it. i installed a custom from for my sister inlaw but she doesn't wanna get used to the keyboard keyboard and just wanted that compart qwerty. please help anyone i can't find that darn thing.
It looks like the "stock" one isn't working very well with a few ROMs (Froyo/Cyanogen-based ones, that is) and you have to go the "custom" route. You can make it stock-looking though.
is that the same as a vanilla keyboard? cause evil rom i think has one but its a vanilla keyboard wasn't sure if it has a compact qwerty option you can do on it.

Just a guess, but you probably need the lib file for it also.
Sent from my FroShedYo.V6 using XDA App
no lib should be required (maybe libt9.so) for the keyboard... but, if you want to use it, you will need both the HTC_IME.apk file and the Clicker.apk file (they are tied together).
that being said, i'm not sure how HTC has (if at all) the keyboard tied into framework, etc (i.e., not sure how well it works on a non-sense ROM).
i have zipped up all three files (including the libt9.so) file for you and attached to this post.
the two apk files will need to be in /system/app and the lib in /system/lib
reboot, and test - please keep in mind that i did not try this... as i've used the jonasl keyboard with every ROM and actually remove the stock keyboard. i would try WITHOUT the lib first, and if it doesn't work, try with. either way, BE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD NAND BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
(still not sure why this one is not an option for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416 - only "real" difference to the "average" user would be the addition of the mic and smileys... neither of which affect the usability in a negative way. in fact, they make the "stock" keyboard MUCH better).
good luck!
The HTC keyboard works just fine on non-Sense ROMs.

Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764021
Yeah, that was the most recent one I tried. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it won't work. I'm using Root Explorer to put both files in their respective directories, and that includes completely over writing the libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib. I reboot the phone, and there aren't any options that were there from before in the Language and Keyboards menu. And when I try to select the new keyboard, I get a force close error. Any ideas as to what may be going wrong?
Also, I extracted the .zip before I moved the files, in case that matters.
This is the one I would LOVE to get working, specifically the black/red special one in the third post. Although its SUPPOSED to work with FroYo, I can't seem to get this to work either...

Not real sure.. haven't tried it myself but it should work.
Maybe I'll try uninstalling the stock keyboard first. I would need to remove LatinIME.apk, LatimImeTutorial.apk, and libjni_latinime.so, right? Anything else?
Yep, you need to remove the apk. The lib will overwrite, but might as well delete.

Okay so I got the one by Kaos to work. I had to delete the keyboard files from the /system/app and /system/lib. Its amazing! Only problem is that the font on the keys is incredibly small, and that seems to be a problem with CM6. I don't think I mind it so much, I can still see the letters and stuff...but we'll see. Any fixes for this that you know of in the mean time?
Also note: The keyboards in the link that I posted, they don't work. Based on the devices in the thread they're from they're only meant to work on hi res devices =[ oh well.
Hey guys, does anyone know how to make they work together? I have tried almost everything I could find with no sucess.

Can you elaborate a little more? Your question is rather vague and might be why there is no response.
see if this helps
check to see if your gps is functioning properly..... if not reinstall a kernel of your choice, and i suggest stock 1.43.... use Flash Image GUI. this might help but its just a guess. Im not sure of your statement, but i think this is what you mean. good luck, hit thanks if this helps you....

sure:
since the release of the handset HTC Desire HD I have used an app and widget called HTC locations.
amongst other things, this widget is used to replace google navigation by having offline maps in it, which, correct me if I am wrong, is very similar to the maps found in google navigation app.
I have been a bullet rom user since I bought my phone and found that the latest xboarder's version 1.7 is said to have such widget/app working... unfortunetly it does not.
I, then, decided to try my luck with the Energy rom, which I liked a lot and this time, for my frustation, the app/widget is not even there.
After researching the internet, I have found a couple of apk's (laputa, location picker, locations, footprints) and their respective signed lib files.
After flashing them (the signed files through recovery) and installing the apks, the app itself (both footprints and locations) would open, footprints all the way and locations would try to download the necessary files (which would return an error saying it couldnt finish the task or restart sense, nope, its not a problem with my connection). The widgets itself wouldnt work at all.
Back to the forum where I found those files, I figured they were for another version of sense, so the framework would be different in order to run on the Energy rom (thats what I came up with, anyway).
As I believe there would be other HTC location users in the amaze 4g forum, I started this thread asking people if they have it working on theirs and if they do, how did they manage it.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. yes, im talking about the roms for the HTC AMAZE 4G and the use of the app/widget on the HTC AMAZE 4G. I only quoted the DESIRE HD so people know the app/widget I am talking about

thats the thing I had that rom installed and eventhough the description says it works, you will see on that thread that lots of ppl say it doesnt work... x says that it works for him, I dont know if he froze the app and deleted whats inside the .data/locations or not... I am just not good enough on messing around with those files.
now back to the app, I believe I would need two files the apk for the app and the app for the widget which, if I am not mistaken, the only difference is the name that contains 3d on it...
btw, thanks so much for trying to help me.
So I want to speed up the process since I do get pretty busy in school. Let's create a list of safe to remove apps/files so I can have builds uploaded quicker and lighter! If I test everyone by myself, it'll take a while to do. So you guys tell me, what can be safely removed? Let's try to remove all the AT&T junk!
Remember, 99% of the stuff removed can be downloaded through the Market. You could also create a separate zip to allow people to install the apps that were removed. Just a thought...

Anything with AT&T on it can and should be removed. Just keep Beats audio in there, all I can tell you
Also, do we have an ETA on AT&T HOX+ CM10? Are there other AOSP-based ROMs in development for the One X+, particularly the AT&T version?
It would probably be easier to grab one of the international hox+ Roms that's been debloated and take a look to see what's missing to determine what can come out or at least use it as a base to know what can be removed....not a base to rom build though just to be clear

I dont know but I'm happy I'm seeing threads like this
Can we look at de-bloated At&t HOX ROMs to get an idea of what's safe to remove? Or at the very least, like someone else mentioned, we should compile a zip to have a safety net of sorts.
Also, I'm no expert but I'm more than willing to help test things and speed up our dev process. I should be getting my HOX+ middle of next week.

I've personally removed: stocks, fm radio, flickr, htc mail, htc mail widget, jetcet print, teeter, htc messenger, watch, play music, play books, polaris office, picasa and locations (ATT or HTC's pay GPS, sucks compared to google to me) from this phone. you can add those to your list of safely removable apps.
Another option for app removal..After all ATT stuff is removed.. some of the ATT HOX XL Rom devs (most rom devs actually) use an aroma script or installer before install which asks the user which apps they want to keep or remove. I never use stocks, fm radio, flickr, htc mail, htc messenger, etc, etc. Those are the first things i would personaly uninstall with titanium backup if there wasnt an aroma script. But there are plenty of people who use those apps everyday and couldnt live without them. With the aroma way you can make everyone happy. Which is hard to do in this business.. Everybody wants something different. Scotts Clean Rom for ATT hox has nice aroma features, might want to use parts of it as a template. Also i'm sure you've made some Rom dev friends over the years.. Hopefully some Sense ones Now would be a great time to hit em up for tips and tricks! They could tell you exactly which HTC apps can , should, and shouldnt be removed. Good luck with the Rom building... You seem very excited about it, thats good for us.
And here is a goody everyone on ATT will like. This is a must have app for me.ATT visual voicemail. Market says its not compatible and wont let you download it.. but it works great. transfer to sd card or download with phone, install from phone using a file explorer. make sure unknown sources is checked in security settings. I'll stick my sim card back in my HOX on monday and download the latest version of ATT VVM, this one says it needs updating, but wont let you. Still works great, no problems at all.

I just got my ATT HOX+ and I'm willing to help in whatever way I can. I personally removed all ATT stuff manually (in /system/app) and used Titanium Backup to get rid of BN Nook app and a few others. I'm admittedly not used to this bloatware as I've had a GNex for quite a while now. However, I wanted LTE speeds and had an upgrade available so here I am.
Currently, my phone is dev unlocked running twrp recovery (in the original dev section here on this forum) and I'm rooted (obviously, lol).
On another note, do you guys think we'll get our own forum? It seems like the ATT HOX+ is different enough to warrant it, at least to me.

I actually like the HTC mail but not so much the htc messenger. Maybe he can make an "ultra lite" Rom version in due time which is basically as naked as the stock Rom can get and allow people to install whatever they like and ALSO have a zip download of all the HTC stuff taken out for people like me that want say something like fm radio, HTC mail, etc type stuff to install if the user wanted to . I've seen many roms built this way and users basically love em!
Since you don't use the htc text messenger, what sms/mms app to u use? I configured and use go sms now and love it! Does everything the htc messenger can't and fully customizable! Love the quick sms pop up too from standby, was missing simple features like this from my iPhone. Not anymore

I use handcent messenger. i like it a lot better than stock messenger. The aroma installer would do away with the zip download. You choose what apps you want and dont want at the beginning of the install. No need for more than 1 version. No need for an ultra lite version when you can choose your own apps. Its almost like your own little rom kitchen. to take stuff out or add stuff. Add battery percent or a different style battery. Add blue icons or red. Use Android boot animation or ATT. Remove sense and add a different launcher. Many Many different things can be done with aroma. I'm not sure how hard or how easy it is to use in development, but it seems to be the way everyone is going. I think its great.
So I decided the first ROM will be senseless (Not AOSP. It'll have Sense stuff removed) and make it as slim as I possibly can. Want it to be a super light ROM so it can be customized as needed. Should I put Apex or Nova launcher?

We see how well the senseless rom went over. 2 pages and last post in august.
Your response when asked in the donation thread what your plans were.

The plan will be sense first since I can mess with that easier. At the same time, talk with lloir for CM

Reason I said a Senseless ROM will be first is because I'm backing up all the files I removed. After I upload the Senseless, I just have to drop in the Sense files and bam, a Sense ROM is made! lol
EDIT: Also, isn't 2 ROMs better than 1? It will be something quick to slap up and if I modify one file from one ROM, I can just do the same mod to the other. It'll be easier to work with both side-by-side. Don't worry man. I got this!
Looking forward to flashing my first rom on this device. Light is fine, and whichever launcher you find lighter on the battery life.

No 2 is not better than 1 IMO. Aroma with a sensless option is the way to go. 1 rom to maintain.
Am also aware that this isnt going to be instant, you are learning to build roms. Aroma may be an advanced rom dev option, i dont know. I do know though that no one said they were looking forward to a senseless sense based rom in the donation thread. Almost everyone said they wanted a sense rom. :fingers-crossed: But ultimately it is your decision. Do what you gotta do. :highfive:
