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?

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.
When is 2.1 "officially" out?

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.
So every Droid X keyboard I've tried doesn't work, basically. Does anyone out there have a working one that is compatible with Nonsensikal 16.1 or FroYo in general? I've been using an HTC keyboard and am getting bored of it, and loved the X's keyboard on my Eris before I rooted it...

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.
"roll your own" froyo-eris v. √-1
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.

Just download any CWR flashable rom or kernel and open META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and you can see anything they put in.

How to create and package an update file for recovery:
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/
Basically you just make an bash script file (update-script) and echo out what you want to display or do with using that method.
Thanks guys! Very simple

Well, it sounded simple. I thought I'd just need to change some text in the updater-script file before I amassed it all in the kitchen, but its not that simple apparently. Item 151 on today's glitch list
Edit: if I package the rom w the updater, then extract the updater n add at the beginning ui_print("jibberish");
repackage n sign, would that work?
Yes, but you can also do it before hand. When it is building, and it gets to the point of converting the "update" script to a "updater" script, you can go into your working folder and edit it.
But also, after the build is done, you can keep the file compressed and edit the script also
Either way.

Nice. Now the question is, grab a beer n burger on lunch, or work on this?
I think im going to put it out without themeing any apps, just framework n the system. Its going to be a slimmer version of your hybrid. Doesn't seem as fast though but that might be bc I switched to adw ex from lpp, and I have every widget n animation going I can fit. I also might swap the music.apk with honeycombs, it goes w gallery3d well.
Hope u got my donation today, u deserve every penny for hooking us all up

I recently got Molten v2.3, and deleted the camera click ogg file, cause I never want it to sound. However, all of my camera apps (two now, used to be three) still have the same sound, and I can't find the sound in any of the system/media folders.
Really want it gone, thanks in advance.
I have looked around a lot too, and can't find something that works.
I should mention that the two apps are stock and camera zoom. Both make same sound which is different then before so I'm assuming its molten related.
More than likely they're embedded in their apk. Do those apps have an option to turn the click off?
Camera ZOOM does, it doesn't work, rooted or unrooted. Unrooted I had been able to use a couple sound managing programs to silence it but that doesn't work now. How would I go about changing the app?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I wish I had a reply for you on that. I know it has to do with unpacking the apk on your computer, making the edit of the file(s), repacking the apk and signing. Check around the site and I'm sure you'll find the answer. Wish I had a better answer for that. Maybe someone else will step in with a better answer than mine.
That's more of an answer than I had, so thanks. Will probably just get a different app lol
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Not that this helps yet but I know I've seen this somewhere end of last year. If I remember I think it was a change to the file that actually made the sound. Racking my brain to remember what it was or the forum I found it in... crap. Ill let you know if I find it.
Edit: system/media/audio/ui
camera_click I renamed to camera_click.bak
I think this is what I used and it worked for me. You're hearing the typical camera shutter sound? If I remember, that camera sound was much simpler, not the traditional shutter, more of a click with that rom. Must be something different.
Running 1.3 eclipse atm.

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.
