Date Formatting

Hi all,
Im confused (slightly) When i select a different regional setting ( ie Netherlands US etc) I am able to see the Day,date, Month, Year on the Clock view on the Todat screen (not the topmost startbar) i have tried to search the registry but cannot see how to enable this for teh UK english setting.
Not urgently important, but i do like to glance at the Day Date Month etc..

You need the flip clock and the date will change to where u are asking.

Original Sprint Clock Modification

It seems that no one really like the original Sprint clock, but I think it looks much better. I was able to install it back on a custom rom and put a transparent background, it looks awesome. My question is, is there a way to change the color of the digits now and still leave it with the "glow"?
I think the digits on the clock of the stock Sprint ROM look nice, but it does not support displaying multiple appointments on the home screen. I think that's one of the reasons many of us switch to the flip clock.
If the Sprint clock supported multiple appointments, I would have kept using it. That and being able to change colors would certainly be nice .

So, from your knowledge, does that mean you can not change the color of the digits?

You are the man, thanks a lot for this! I noticed that the cab's you sent though still have the background colors on it when I install.....do i have to insert the transparent manila after I install these?
*edit* I figured it out. The original style Sprint clock must be on before you can apply these color changes. I had a flip clock on and then just tried to install your cab thats why that was happening. Thanks again man!
Move date in Stock Sprint TF3D Home?
I posted this over at PPCGeeks but received no love.
Has anyone figured out how to support multiple appointments with the Sprint Clock?
How do you get a a transparent background for the clock? (Which manila files?)
Can anyone tell me how to move the date from the original location in the first 1st screen cap to the top location in the 2nd screen cap?
I've tinkered a bit with the manila files (notice the sweet start orb and mini pic of myself circled in blue and white ), so if its just a matter of replacing a couple of those it should be pretty easy, thanks in advance!
I'm currently using GC_Touch_Pro_Kitchen_2.1.4 and its awesome. I simply replaced all manila files with the Full Stock Sprint Theme.
ok so how do i get the sprint clock back?

Home Clock Settings and Agenda on Home Screen

My Rezound seems to offer no way to change the Home Clock. I can add clocks, but I can't change or delete this one clock that is set to Arizona. I turned off Location Settings, too, but I still have the one Arizona clock (presumably because that's where Verizon ships from).
I am also trying to show a summary of a few scheduled activites on my Home screen, to no avail. It seems useless to me to have a Calendar widget that only shows one activity, because I would think people would want to see at least a few so they know what their day might be like, without having to always click on something. I know I have the option to select different views; trouble is that the other views are too big to be allowed to fit on the Home screen.
Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I don't know how Android got to be so popular. Although it LOOKS cool, it seems very clunky trying to find things (things are often not sensibly placed), and the stuff like changing a clock or displaying activities should be easier to do. Perhaps I am missing something? :crying:
That is a bug in the stock HTC CLOCK.
I live in upstate NY and my clock insists I am in new York city (if I use current location) and there is absolutely no way to delete that location.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the clock etc and NYC just keep reappearing no matter what I do.
If I go to edit where it should be possible to delete NYC it isn't even listed.
This phone has been out for how long now? I run a software company myself, and there's no way we'd let a simple little bug like that ruin our reputation, never mind leaving our customers frustrated for this long. In fact, we'd have fixed something like that within days!
Thanks for letting me know that I spent nearly 20 hours on this phone, trying to figure it out. Do you happen to know if there is anything like a registry editor or something we can use to edit settings under the hood?
What about having an agenda listing on the Home screen, like Windows Mobile used to have? Know anything settings that might allow that? Or, am I wasting my time, there, too? I mean, first the clock, then I beat my head against the wall trying to get my Windows Media Player playlists to go across with HTC Sync, only to give up and manually copy them using "disk drive" mode. That's actually almost worse than the clock thing, in that HTC Sync offers the playlist option, but doesn't even see them on the PC!
For the calendar, which widget are you using. If you are using the one that is only 1 grid tall, that one is only made to show 1. If you need more than 1 event, just use the larger calendar widget.
Problem is that the other larger sized widgets aren't allowed to be place on the Home Screen, because a message says there is not enough room. SIGH

Tap the home button while on the Sense Rosie homescreen to bring the view out to display up to all 7 panels of the launcher. If you don't have all 7 active you have an option to add a panel. You may also delete an entire panel at once by tapping and holding the panel, then dragging to Delete. This allows you to add a fresh blank panel afterwards.
Alternatively, choose a panel to clear out manually. Tap and hold on icons and widgets until you enter an editing mode where you may reposition items or drag to the Delete icon.
It is simply wanting you to add a panel and/or clear out clutter manually first to ensure it doesn't delete your existing items.
Also note the Play Store has other launchers available you can try instead of HTC's Sense. Some allow more homescreens, but you will lose use of the widgets exclusive to the Sense interface. Some have comparable widgets integrated and there are apps with widgets in the Play Store too. It is suggested to get a feel for the stock Sense launcher a bit longer though.
Apologies for the double post, but wanted to address each topic seperate and Multi-Quote after the fact.

Take this with a grain of salt since I'm unfortunately running Sense 4 and not 3.5 or 3.6 right now. But I believe there should be a setting if you tap on the clock widget on your homescreen, go to the World Clock tab and hit the Menu button. If not there, then *somewhere* with the Menu for World Clock, perhaps when you select Edit if not the first option. If someone else could chime in on this.

A note to both of you: as far as this World Clock tab is concerned, this is precisely how a traditional traveler's clock works. It makes more sense when you realize the Home Clock is meant as the Home Time Zone. Just as when you set a time zone on a PC or forum, it usually just provides a list of major cities to choose from. I will say Sense 4 shows the current location in addition to this "Hometown" and unsure about older Sense but again, the primary function of World Clock is "nearby major city's timezone + time zones across other frequented or contacted locations."
Now jmoreton10, if the *weather* widget isn't showing your proper location, there is an issue with your Location settings. While the World Clock only can add and locate major cities, Weather should be able to tell where you are exactly by zip code. I may have had issues like that with both Verizon and Google location on; try using just Google location if you confirm Weather is not showing current location properly.

I don't think you understand what we're saying, or maybe we don't understand what you're saying. The Home clock does NOT display MY home. It displays someone else's home... in Arizona. I am in California. Moreover, the Home clock cannot be edited or deleted on the Home screen. However, if I add a traveler clock to ANOTHER panel/desktop/screen, I can choose what cities I want on it upon adding the widget, but once again, once the widget is added, if I click on the clock, I see the same Arizona Home clock in addition to the other cities I added. IIRC, Arizona does not change times when we "spring ahead" or "fall back" like we do here in CA. So, I think that kills your theory of a nearby major city in the same time zone, doesn't it? Same with those people seeing Detroit when they live in NY. Personally, I am really starting to hate Arizona!
New phone came in. Don't know if there's a difference, but it appears that there is a way to change the Home Clock. It's not very intuitive, but:
Click on the Clock Widget. On World Clock, choose the Menu button. Click Home Settings. Type your City, or SUPER HUGE MAJOR CITY nearby. Type VERY slow, because there is a very limited number of cities. If you type too fast for the app, it will give you a "not found" error. Dumb, I know, but at least we all now know WTH is wrong with this thing.
