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?
Do a search for Beautiful Widgets in the market, it may not be free but i think its what you are looking for
google it

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.
I can confirm the following problems with FreeX10-Bet4:
Battery drains incredibly fast, but not always. Yesterday morning the phone got hot and I could almost see battery indicator drop. However, in the afternoon, after a reboot and once I have charged the phone, it was not that bad. At least not hot. No change of apps, environment, whatever.
Problems with BT headset. At least with mediasound. Sometimes the headset connects but most often not. The phone indicates the headset is connected (both phone and media) but mediasound goes to the loudspeaker.
(I have to post this thread since I'm not yet allowed to post to the development thread. The new policy, sorry for this.....)

You are not the only one with this problems.. so you didn't have to make a thread for this. Read the official thread and find the answers there
I did read the official developer link and I did not really ask for help on this . My intention was to add some more info for troubleshooting, since I did not find anyone else stating problem vary over time. Since I work with system development myself I normally find all additional info on problems interesting since this could help me pinpointing the root cause.
Maybe XDA should consider open special threads just to report problems and not asking specifically for support. Now everything is mixed up, and this must be quite frustrating for the ones actually working with ROM development.
Yeah, new forum policy....
I have some points too. Maybe someone can give a hint.
I have some trouble with the audio through the headphone jack. The sound is kind of broken like a wrong DSP filter is set.
3G WatchDog does not count the traffic for each app but I am not sure if thats a problem of FreeX10 or 3G WatchDog himself.

Hi
Please excuse my Japanglish, as well.
I had a perfectly working X10i, and installed FreeX10 Beta4. I preferred stock 2.1 rom so I tried to restore the back up I createded Xrecovery. Then it went something wrong, and I get this endless "force close" message saying system failed starting when I start up. So I cannot get to the programs now which can restore the system. No matter how many times I reboot it is same. Is my phone so called "Bricked"? Is there any way I can start restoring program by pushing bottoms when I boot up before Free X10 kicks in? This is a really costly error.
Thought rather than creating a new thread for each bug found in subpsyke's latest release of CM7 for the i5500 (20120206) we should just compile them here, perhaps make life slightly easier for the developer???
BB
I5500NEJP1
Upgraded form CM7 1.9 hf3
Couldn't install apps from the market, phone gave 'not enough space' error during install of apk. I experienced a similar problem in early versions of CM7.
Also theme chooser app behaving strangely, only two available themes in there, one of which was not displayed correctly.
MUCH LOVE TO THE DEVS FOR THE SMARTPHONE REPUBLIC.
Good initiative on creating this thread!
I´m having the same problem with the theme chooser, where it won´t display one of the themes. I have 3 themes, and one of them (androidian) displays as a black rectangle.
So far, nothing other than that.

Everytime psyche release a new version of te CyaogenMod porting for our GT-I5500 I take a look into the zip file of the rom.. I do that 'cause I use to remove some bloat I don't use and something I don't need, like live wallpapers, quite all the CM wallpapers (which i finf horrible), File Manager (I insert RootExplorer), ADW Launcher (I get my version of ADW Launcher EX) and so on..
Usually I also use to remove 2 of the 3 defult themes of this rom, 'cause I never liked them.. They were called Androidian and Cyanbread, if I well remember..
but this time, in version 2.0 I cannot find anymore those themes, so I assume that only the default theme this time is been installed into this version..
Infact into my Theme Chooser there is only the default theme (and the 2 I installed after first use, I love LunarUI!! )and much of all I cannot notice any error on Theme Chooser!!
I think that you could consider wiping your cache and your data; if this could not help flash alla gain from start! If you don't want to loose your data (but I'm sure you have not so much data after 1 day of use, or you already backup before flash this new version) wait for a psyche reply (if he will read) or post directly into the MadTeam forum..
Anyway, for me, no error till now.

I guess it took a while for the Alarm program to load.
It happens to me with calls sometimes. I might be browsing the web, then I get a call, and I can't answer it because the screen is black. It would be good if we could answer with the physical button, but I can't find any settings to get it working.

Titanium Backup * Root is what you need here. It should come preinstalled on all android devices in my opinion.
It will allow you to backup all your existing apps and system data to your SD card so one you've reflashed your device you need only download Titanium and restore them.
- You could save a copy of the Titanium apk to your SD so you wouldn't even have to download that

sure you can, but you will indeed loose the signature/md5 of the file, but if you don't use the signature verification in CWM you won't need it.. anyway you MUST pay attention when modifying those files, 'cause they will go to replace system files into your phone, so be sure they are not corrupted (for example veryfy files with the archive manager).
Usually I use to unzip all the folder and then zip it again: but I do that 'cause I need to remove / change a lot of files (I remove all non italian/english languages, for example).. if you want to remove only the FileManager.apk you can do that directly with WinRAR: remove it and then add RootExplorer.apk (I follow the same name style)..
Just a little note: I'm not sure that all the apk you will put in will work!! For example once I tryed to do that with SamsungApps apk but it didn't start!!
enjoy!!

Well, when i open the calendar in 1 day view, if i navigate to the sides using the navigation buttons, the app freezes and after a while i get an error message saying the app is not responding, and i have to force-end it.
This doesn't happens if i use the touchscreen, only if i use the navigation buttons.
Asides from that, i´m getting random crashes and freezes that didn't happen in v1.9... i´m considering a downgrade.

It's a general problem with the amaze on ICS, it's widespread, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

my guess is on the kernel needing to be flashed/reflashed for the mms/wifi thing. as to the other issues, no clue. have you tried running stock ics yet?
Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either

"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.
Just rooted my phone...and I love being able to use the WiFi tether! A few questions:
1) Which of the bloatware should I remove and will it noticeably improve the performance of my phone?
2) How do I get rid of the WiFi notifications that always pop up and tell me there's WiFi nearby?
3) How do I get Sense 4.0 on this phone and what are the advantages/disadvantages of it?
Please keep in mind that I am an extreme noob and it was pretty incredible that I was actually able to root. In fact, I had to get help from a friend on it!
1) It will remove any background apps you don't need. Read up on which ones can be safe to remove.
2) While in Wi-Fi settings press menu then choose Advancedyou will see the option "Notify Me", deselect/uncheck it.
3) By flashing a Sense 4.0 rom and matching boot.img. There are a few good ones and really just as many bugs as any Sense 3.6 rom nowadays, so no need to worry on that.
If you need help, I'm only a quick PM away. I might not reply right away but I will gladly be of help.
EDIT:
Regarding your first question; flash a custom rom and not worry about bloatware.
Thanks, Snuzzo...much appreciated. Regarding #2, it was indeed unchecked. It says "Notify me, When launching apps, notify me when Wi-Fi is available"...not sure that's what I'm going for. Per your other recommendation, I'd assume flashing a custom ROM would help that.
Is there a good Sense 4.0 rom you'd recommend? Seems like I've seen that some don't jive with bluetooth...I use bluetooth a lot in my car. Also, what would you say are the benefits of 4.0 over 3.6?
I have tried them all, and so far I like Nils the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757357

Not being a real hardcore end user, I can't tell the difference. Worst one to ask in that respect. Checkout Hawknest's. Him and myself have been working on Eclipticrez for months now.
Quick clarification...the WiFi notification I'm getting is the one that shows up in the notifications bar at the top of the screen. Unchecking "Notify me" only keeps it from taking over my whole screen. I have unlimited data, so I'm uninterested in WiFi.
Flash NilsP rom and you wont have that problem anymore and everything works!
Ha--touche! I'll have to check that out.

And to add...
Props to Snuzzo. Someone who is clearly above the simple in and outs of this phone, who is capable of doing things WAY over most of our heads, taking time to respond to some beginner questions. +1 to him, and a lesson for the rest of you who would just scream "Use the search!!!"

+1 to the preceding ---- but feel free to use the "search" feature anyway. It's just nicer.

Yeah, I have searched before and came up with the same answer. The notification still comes up in my status bar at the top of the screen. That's why I was wondering if there was another way to do it... I guess that was my question. I figured I might be able to remove a system file or something now that I have rooted.

Also, if you choose to try a ROM that doesn't remove it, sometimes someone has a file you can flash that will remove it, such as for the ViperRez ROM. You might even ask if that file works on stock rooted if you're not ready to flash a ROM yet. Here's a link to the one made for ViperRez, you can ask in/search the thread to see if it would work on another ROM:

But really, you might as well flash a custom ROM. I'm running ViperRez and I like it a lot but I'm not able to connect my phone as a portable player to my car and I'm not able to get my contacts into my car either. I was able to do both on stock and on a GB ROM I was running. Am going to reflash it and see if it works, or try to get it set up on stock first then reflash. Other than that I really like the ROM.
I was thinking of trying out iRezone, that seems like it might be good too.
If after you flash a custom ROM you still have that wifi icon showing just check the ROM thread and see if someone posted a fix.
