Now that we have all sped up our phones, and roms because of this thread by androcheck:

(some have also used this thread for a general processor speed up:

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.
Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!
Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file
the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:

I'm willing to try. I have already backed up. Do I just do a normal push?

I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.
Its funny, all the people with a vibrant want nothing more than to get rid of touchwiz, and here we are adding it.

I tried pushing it, and i am not getting it to install. anyone have better luck.
(i am referencing the the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file)
Thanks downloading now directly to my phone.
EDIT: The launcher is a little slow when I scroll thru the icons. Plus the widgets doesn't want to install so I removed the whole thing.
Thanks anyway!

how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
VibrantOwnr,
In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.
TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!

My gf has a vibrant and she love the touchwiz. I like it a lot too is just personal preference.
Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....
can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

Bumping this thread up because I really want to put this on my phone but not before I know the bugs have been fixed (id do it if I knew how). Thanks!
untill it starts to be in all the roms, any way to flash this?
i have the apk, tried to do it through App Installer
gonna try adb next
a few people are having problems with getting it to work on cyanogen based roms
I assume, though I could be totally wrong, that there will be no need to flash this or install it. Your market will just show up looking like that someday. In engadget's post about it, they mention "Google's pushing the update to every Android 1.6-and-above device over the next couple of weeks".
im not sure when ill add it ,, looks like some people are haven issues with apps ,, also not sure if i like the fact that if u pay for a app u only have 15 minutes to ask for a refund ,, what if the app works fine , then later on it doesnt work right? i guess u bought a bad app lol i dunno not sure if i like that
As far as I can tell, it's all just a new interface, plus, they changed things like only having 15mins now to get a refund instead of the 24hrs... which is kind of retarded.
The new market is working fine, all apps dloaded with it stick after reboot. If you're using this on a 2.1 rom, delete the Vendor.odex file in system/app if your rom isn't deodex'd already.
if you're on a CM rom, just rename the .apk to Vendor.apk (if it's named something else) and put it in system/app using adb or a file manager.
I attached it already renamed if anyone wants it...
So this is not a pushed update as engadget stated? How are all the other non-rooted android users gonna get it?

I'm not sure exactly, my guess would be through your google account, since it isn't a carrier specific update...
anyone know the answer to this?
I can make a flashable zip for those interested... even though all of you should be able to use adb or a file manager and place it in system/app by now
A flashable zip would be great. How did the market get the new "similar" and "related" tabs? I assumed this update would be pushed the same way. Btw, where are you getting the file to even make a flashable zip? Is it in the Android SDK or something?

you can find it on a few sites for download
Any ideas I installed the new market wiped, cleared data and all I can do is open the market up. As soon as I select an app it force closes on me.

This zip works great for me so far. Though I dont like the new market. The tabs made it easier to flip between things and the rotating apps at the top is slow on a slow phone. It looks like they tried to make it look nicer (and failed in my opinion) but ended up making it less functional.
Google apps always look simple and sophisticated. This Market overhaul looks overdone and tacky with too much "pizzaz".

hmmm it might just be preinstalled on new android devices, since i dont think any carrier would do a OTA update, so maybe only rooted users will have the new market for a while?

Yeah, that shocked me. 15 minutes isn't much time to make sure an app works fine for your purposes. For apps that have free/trial versions, then you can check those out first, but what if it's the paid options that don't sufficiently work. I think one or two hours is reasonable, but 15 minutes is ridiculous.
I think ROMs should keep the current version of the market and people can use flashable zips to go to the new version if they want.
i was just curious if someone can get me a list of apps that can be unistalled for faster performance on MeanBean without bricking anything. i dont use most the stock apps but am unsure of which ones i can do without ie...News and weather....email..... sprint music.... stuff like that im not sure if i can get rid of them without something else suffering. thank you in advance.

Try using an app freezer first then if there's no negative impact un install frozen app. Of course do a back up of each app incase there's a problem later. That way you don't have to reflash rom.

This is the most recent list for Sense I could locate for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197265

Just get the NO-Sense_user.txt from here and use Notepad++ to customize it just remove the # from anything you want to remove
I could if you'd like but it would be better to edit one for yourself as I probably have A LOT of things deleted that you might want to keep and might have kept a lot of what you want deleted. It's really simple to edit as you are only putting in or taking out a # sign.
Does anyone have a version of VVM newer than 5.3.4.42 that can share the APK?
I'm using that version on CM11 and it's hit or miss whether or not it ever actually downloads the message. Half the time the only way i know i got one is because i get those dumb 9016 text messages. I assume those messages are supposed to get intercepted by VVM and it uses that as a trigger to go out and download the message, but it don't seem to happen. or perhaps i'm just not installing the APK right. have just been transferring it to the phone and installing it like you'd side load anything else.
i've tried putting it in /system/app and fixing permissions on it but then it doesn't seem to work at all.
