A Thought - For the upcoming roms [Time Clock] - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Like many of you guys, I really appreciate the benefits of a nice big clock widget. And I find the time on the application bar to be very redundant. I would like to see an option for that to be disabled in any of the newer upcoming roms. It will save precious space
Here's what it might look like
{
"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"
}

I was going to do this to my vanilla bar morph... bc i use beautiful widgets...
i still have to test my new services.jar maybe ill use both...

Personally I like having the time there. That way when I'm doing something like browsing the web I can still see what time it is. Comes in handy when I'm on my lunch break.

yeah, there will definitely be instances when you'd want the time there. i think an option to display it on and off would be very handy

Soon
This is an option on cm6. I really can't wait for that to hit our phones!

nice, good to know it's a definite possibility

I have been rocking a white notification bar since day 2... I got the date and notifications text black... Whenever I edit the clock it fc loops..
I'm going to start looking into this..

It would be great if the time display in the menu bar could be dynamic. When in an app have it display, when on the home screen, have it hidden.
What power widget is that? Definitely more useful than the android one.

I got the gauge battery and the switch pro widget. Highly recommend it. There are many different configurations.

What clock widget is that? I've been going crazy looking for it.
Thx!

it's fairly straight forward to remove yourself if you like. If you check this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614 There's a walkthrough. But be aware on the SGS the line item numbers for the clock and alarm are different than what he shows in that thread.

Screenshot?
The screen shot shows up by viewing it on the computer
No, it actually doesn't show up when viewing it on a computer. Just a red X.
updated with screen shot
can you see it now?
Yeah it's visible now.
Eerily similar to Beautiful Widgets.... which, let's be honest, started out looking exactly like SenseUI, but has evolved a bit from there.
I like it thanks man

Is the clock flip animated when the time changes?

Thanks for sharing, dling now.
It's pretty nice I must say. Although it is quite simliar to Beautiful widgets. Simple and to the point and very clean.
Thanks for sharing.
thank u so much, it looks great!
There's already a few of these on the Android Market. You want to differentiate your app; add the flip clock animation a la' HTC Sense.

first off theres only one on the market that looks this close and thats weather toggle widgets... second that app is a lot more heavy than this! i love how i can make the weather icon bring me DIRECTLY to animated weather app! Third a custom animation is VERY dependant on the launcher! ONLY the OLD JACXHERO roms for g1 and NEW SENSE 2.2 roms have the real "flip clock". also better alarm in market has a "flip clock" animation in app and Home++ launcher has flip clock widgets!
This is by far the most light weight "ALMOST PERFECT" sense style flip clock ive seen though... wierd you can still "bump" the market link to people ;-)
Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[Q] Unconventional Launchers?

I've grown tired of the regular android look of 4x4 icons, dock and widgets. I want a different type of launcher ( I wish i had the stock launcher for the kindle fire), but something that is very different, any ideas? P.s. I've tried launcher 7...
Rocket Launcher is pretty unconventional. Not my style, but check it out. http://goo.gl/JrCBb
I've tried it too, but it wasn't snappy enough, and limited customization. It was a great start though. thanks
Wave launcher: http://goo.gl/zMRW6
Best money spent on market other than Tasker. No, it's not an actual home screen but it's an excellent launcher!
If you are patient and persistent, Sweeter Home is real nice. It is in perpetual beta, and the dev isn't really supporting it, but you can find users here in xda.
I'm including a few screenshots. The right side has tabs that bring up boxes of user selected apps. This is my setup. Search for sweeterskins and see what others have done also. YouTube has a few videos.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

One handy feature I forgot to mention is that you can show and hide settings switches and widgets as they are needed. You can see in my screenshot that my GPS widget comes into view when I am selecting a navigation app. This gives me a heads up on GPS status and a chance to activate if off. Up to 9 widgets can occupy the same spot and you can select which one is going to be displayed.

Pretty cool! I'm going to give that a go.
BTW, the home page is http://www.sweeterhome.com/, and they just released a new beta on 10 Feb 2012.
launcherPro allows you to re-size widgets and icons kinda stretches them though

i like go launcher
LauncherPro and Go Launcher aren't really that unconventional. Neither is ADW nor Nova, for that matter.
Btw, duckredbeard: what theme are you using with sweeter? Looks quite sweet!
It's my own theme...look for SD004. It will take some work to make it work for you as I have alot of Tasker and MinimalisticText going on. I will do some edits to make it more adaptable for others. Check back to this thread for updates on when it is available.

Make Your Own Clock Widget

Just found this app the other day and love it. It is a highly customizable clock widget. You can design your own clock or download one of the many prebuilt ones. Dev is super responsive too! App is still beta but is awesome! I have no connection with this app, I just wanted to share a good app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.makeyourclock
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing man!
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to play with this a bit.
Have you heard of ultimate custom clock widget? In my humble opinion it is the one and only app that allows you to have the most freedom and ease in regards to customization. It is amazing just thought I'd let you know in case you haven't seen it.

Wow i just checked that out and it has a ton of features! Checking it out but seems like it will take forever to design.
I like "Make Your Own Clock" because "Ultimate" overwhelmed me. If there was a way to use Ultimate on the PC and download the clock to my phone I could do it, but I'm just not that nimble on a 4.3" screen!
Sent from this here thing that can taptalk
The ultimate one is growing on me. I could easily waste a day or two at work messing with it. Lol.
Problem is it doesnt resize well.
Edit: actually it does. Just needed to read the faq.
I think either one of these plus screencast should make it a lot better to play with.

I'm glad you like it! It seems overwhelming at first but once you get going its easy. Plus its fun to import a skin from the thread and modify it and use them as a starting point for you. I thought that I'd come across rude after I posted in here cause afterwards I thought about it and I could it have been misconstrued as an attempt to hijack your thread. Apologies on that.
Btw a trick I use for finding new skins is searching on Google under the images tab. Adjust the time parameters to last week or 24 hours and you can find skins that aren't posted to xda enjoy and have fun. Hope to see some of your skins in the official skins thread!

Don't know if I'm missing something or not. But I am not seeing the widget in the widgets list. I created a clock and exported it. I see it on my SD card. But I can't figure out how to set on my desktop. I watched over half the video before having to start work also. Any help would be great. I would love to get rid of the stock sense clock.
EDIT: Nevermind. The widgets decided they wanted to appear last night.

Question regarding spacing between icons

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bunch of questions in recent days. I'm new a this while being fairly compulsive. Ok so let's make use of the ability to make screen shot. In the picture below, apps on the left are from stock touch wiz, and the second set of icons (more to the right) are from the TW SIII mod from pale horse. As you can see, apps on the right have much more space between them then on the left. Is there anyway for me to make it so apps on the right have the same space between them than apps on the left? It is very obsessive of me I know.
Thank you
Install the Apex launcher. Then you can change the grid of your desktop to any spacing that suits you.
And this is for caring about icon spacing. . .

What did you do to fix this?
Another thing Apex can do is let you resize icons. Maybe that could help?
And you know the CDO picture was strictly a joke - not trying to do anything here but assist.
That was a good one ranger...LOL
And yes....we need a sense of humor around here once in a while....g
Right? You know sometimes you can get someone's undies in a bunch by just saying hi.
Ahah no worries I can take a joke. I embed up doing nothing. Apex had the same problem so I just took a deep breath and accepted things as they are.

Did you browse the Homescreen thread? Maybe you can see a solution there. Anyone there will share their setup with you.

I use SSLauncher, and do whatever I like with the homescreen(s). Spacing, resizable widgets, etc.... SSLauncher=freedom!
from the looks of your photo something was changed other then just icons. your homescreen indicators and wallpaper dont line up. you can try changing your screen density to something larger to fill in the gaps. stock is 320. i use apex like ranger recomended and hide icon labels then change grid size. i use 8x5 and this makes all my icons very close(i also use text for icons rather then pictures). you should play around with it. pro version also lets you resize and overlap widgets so you can get icons close but still have widgets look like they should.

Best lockscreen app on JB?

Hi guys
Just got ahold of a superb white XT910 which I love to bits. However, the default Motoblur overlay seems a little bit dated to me or am I the only one?
As far as the laucnher itself, Apex pro and Nova prime seem to get the consensus on xda. What about lockscreen apps though? Found a bunch of apps that could get the job done and make the lockscreen look better. I was wondering what you gents and ladies who are running JB on the Razr had to say about them.
WidgetLocker would be my prime choice - Holo locker a close second. However before jumping the gun and buying WidgetLocker, I would like to know if it works well with JB : does it run well and not conflict with the stock launcher? Is it responsive enough? how energy efficient is it?
Any input about any other lockscreen app would also be much appreciated :angel:

How I wish I could have the white one, I can't find any white body replacement kit here in India. Can anybody help me get it?
Yeah the white one looks quite the part mate. Got it rather cheap too, i'm definitely pumped up about this phone ! Need to get some stuff sorted and then it'll be absolutely perfect :victory:

Holo Locker
Alright, so I just went through the last couple pages from the WidgetLocker development thread, and it looks like the app hasn't received any major update for a long while now and people are having issues with it. Looks like I'll be giving Holo Locker a try, plus it's free so what the heck :silly:
You could give go locker a try,works pretty good for me,also free with lots of themes.

Thanks for your input mate. I considered Go Locker, however I'd rather use another launcher so that's why I did not mention it.
