Hello
This has problably been asked 100000000 times but what is the best widget that looks like the famous HTC flip clock BUT with (flipping) animations? I know Beautiful Widgets and I think another one has it but without the animation.

I currently have one without weather, but it does have a flipping animation. I am also currently working on a new widget that also contain weather, but this might take a little while to complete so you will have to wait for that.

Is the app worth buying, as it supports themes that look really cool But how long is the delay before it kicks in? because that is what would most annoy me
Thanks for any information.
Yes it is worth it, I get no delays, you will get delays on sense roms.
I brought it and its fine would you recommend any themes for out size display?

check in the themes thread by zhk3r. Sense themes fit perfectly, I also resized some for qvga.
Thanks Kevin i found them My phone wouldn't look half as sexy without you, and your right there is no delay with CM i forgot my mate has it and he uses sense.
I was also wondering if anyone could resize this theme to fit QVGA for me? I would appreciate any help thankyou.

FLIPPING CLOCK FOR WILDFIRE -- Taken from SFM 1.1--
This is a bug free Sense clock (Flipclock) for the wildfire taken from the SFM 1.1 ROM.The clock behaves as the normal HTC clock(Tapping either takes you to Desk clock app or weather app) but has added FLIPPING animation .I have used it for a few hours and havent noticed any bugs.All credits to evilisto and someone else's zip file( i didn't know how to sign or whatever them).Brickbats are for me.
To be performed at your own risk.
This requires a rooted wildfire with recovery(i used CWM 2.5.0.7) and any SENSE rom
(I havent tried it on any other rom)
Please follow the instruction or u MAY have a TINY problem.
1.Make a nandroid backup
2.The previous HTC sense flipclock (only the big(4x2) thing with white squares on which Time is diplayed in black) widget should be somewhere on ur homescreens and preferably there should be an empty row beneath it.(U'll later learn y)
3.Put attached Sense21clock.zip onto sdcard root
4.Reboot into recovery and use " Install zip from sdcard" and select the file and confirm.Reboot Device.
5. Voila.U are done.Enjoy The SENSuous flipping animation when u unlock the phone and when u patiently wait for each minute to pass.
This has a problem though. U can no longer see the clock in ur widgets list.But since u already have it, that shouldn't be a problem) .Also the empty row of icons was required because the clock becomes 4x3 now, But it displays date, day, time, weather and location.
if u ever want to revert back the clock u will have to reflash the older OLDSenseclock.zip
Tested on DK Froyo 4.5.1 . Animation may be a bit jittery at stock speeds(528 Mhz)(esp after unlocking device) or that may be just me.Excuse the SMS language inputs.
For those with strange weather animations
(i mean like those in post number 7's attachments)
solved by patrask-Freeze HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk with Titanium Backup or
0.Make nandroid backup
1.Ensure u have a file HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk in ur system\apps directory (Use root explorer or something)
2.Remove HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk by following instructions from this link
http://iamandroid.com/profiles/blogs/guide-android-how-to-easily
3.Reboot.It might take a while to reboot so take a coffee break.
This will not work on non-sense based ROMS.

tested it and yes you are right that there's a bit of excess lines at the center of each number when you've restored it from the locked screen. There's a similar one that I've been using which was taken from desireHD and ported it over the WF.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960189
The problem with it is that the weather is cropped beneath the City and the Date but you can remove it and place it again as a widget.
Thanks anyway.
@rrbhootham
thanks very much! Its great
Could you try to port the sfm 1.1 lockscreen(sense 3.0) for our sense roms? Just flashing the htclockscreen.apk doesnt work...

That weather thing is why i didn't prefer that clock.It looked a bit unpolished.
Nice clock. It works pretty good, but there is a problem with the weather animation (see the pictures below). It seems that the weather graphics are missing. Is there anyway to embed them, or at least a way to disable the weather animation?

The border needs a bit of refining

Did u change any opengl files of ur phone?Any live wallpaper fixes?That could be one of the reasons.And by the way weather animations are not supposed to work on the wildfire(AFAIK without any 3rd party stuff).What rom are u using?What weather is that bug for?

Hi rrbhootham,
I'have JockerDroid 4.2 and I installed the WildPuzzle Original Framework in order to restore the original framework since I didn't like some customizations made by the JockerDroid ROM.
Most probablly the wheater animation problem is caused by that patch. I'll try reflasching the ROM to check if the problem persist.
Anyway it would be interesting if someone else is having the weather animation working properly.
Please, check the video in the attachement for another demonstration of the weather error.
Marshall
Im also having weather animation problems, if someone had figured out a way how to fix it, please respond as soon as possible
Thanks in advance...

Hello Marshall,
I was googling around and i found this http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...g-weather-animation-issues-w-latest-leak.html . The thread says this might be due to any graphics fixes. If u check JokerDroid 4.2's changelog there are graphics fixes mentioned, and that might be for the transparency of the menus and stuff and i believe this messes the transparency of the older weather animations.it might not have anything to do with the framework pack. i'll keep looking into this.

Thanks rrbhootham. I hope you'll get through this...
EDIT:
I found this thread http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/rosie-lwp-fix-opengl/ where they're talking about OpenGL fix which is used to enable Livewallpapers but introduces the weather animation bug.
In the thread there is also a patch to revert back to the old OpenGL but I'm not sure if it will work for our Wildfire since it is for the Eris.
As soon as I can I'll try that patch (after a nandroid backup, of course) too see if it works...

Hello Marshall,
That might break ur JokerDroid Rom so i recommend u remove HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk from ur phone's system\app directory with adb.U can follow this link for details http://iamandroid.com/profiles/blogs/guide-android-how-to-easily . After that weather animation will no longer work(properly or improperly).
I freezed it with titanium backup, worked well.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
Freezed it too and now the weather animation has gone. Thanks 1K!
Anyway it would be nice to fix the animation so we can have this feature too. Do you think it would be possible, rrbhootham?

yes that worked as well cool nice 1
I have questions.
Did you add an 0 before the 1 digit hours? like 9:07 -> 09:07 or 3:15 -> 03:15
Sometimes I come across a Clock bug on stock Froyo. The date and weather info is on the lower right of the widget by default but sometimes it comes to lower center. Did something like this happened?
Another bug with original Clock is when you remove the widget sometimes the transparent base stays on the home. Did this happened too?
That's all. Thx in advance.

What the heck is this???

I mean, if springboard can do the real flipping action and look neat like
this one, why cant it be done decently on other Android devices?
Ive spent a few hours searching for a decent app... they all suck! Can anyone help me?? PLEASE??!??
Sense analog clock
About the closest I've found is "Sense Analog Clock" on the market.
I think the MIUI interface has one that is close also.
https://market.android.com/search?q=sense+analog+clock&so=1&c=apps
Thanks for your help!!! But I'm looking for the actual animation FLIP...
Thank you nonetheless though!!
have you tried "Animating Flip Clock Widget"?
Is there really a market for this? I've always used HTC so I've always had it, but I don't see why it would be difficult to write one from scratch. What's it worth? I might give it a shot.

Thank you for your response, and yes.. I have tried that app.. but it is not getting updates from the vendor at all.. It think it's just an anonymous data collector.... Can't resize, Cant do Weather... Yadda Yadda, Oh yeah, and it also get's clipped when you go landscape.
Geene Poole- I think there would be a market.. the issue is, I heard that it has been done in the past, and the dev's have gotten C&D letters from HTC for patent infringement... If I were a dev, I wouldn't give two squirts of piss about the C&D letter considering HTC is a China owned company, and we all know how much China respects other peoples patents and trademarks
If I were a Dev, I would have done this a long time ago... Can I assist with anything?

Huh? All HTC Android phones running Sense 2.0-3.5 have the flip clock. ( Those running Sense 1.9 like Desire has it too but it doesn't have the flipping animations though.) Which version of Sense are you running?

But most likely it will work like second one.
I'm using the second for some days and don't have problems.
I think it's because it only changes the colours of the widget, it doesn't mess with the widget itself.
Hi there
Hope I don't mess it up ... if it doesn't have to be exactly that widget, ever tried
Simple Calendar Widget? (sorry, I'm not allowed to post Links )
It's the only widget that's worth it being on my home screen.
and you can change its colors and transparency and much more

Nice, but I prefer the stock widget
Good morning! I'm looking for a widget that just shows a (resizable if possible) live map, like a nav app when you haven't set a destination. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
I used a live background that did that? (I'll see if I can find it)
Thanks, yeah I did as well find a nice app for setting up a live wallpaper with different map styles etc. This is the one I tried. It's close, but not what I'm looking for. I want a widget that can cover, say, half the screen, split vertically.
Yip - thats the one I had - haven't seen a widget.
