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.
this is now here:

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.

haha tell me about it, i just came from a vibrant to this and i dont want nothing to do with it at all! lol
i just wish i could get the memo.apk to work on my phone :'[
Did anyone have luck pushing the files? I haven't gotten a chance to get to my computer to do this.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Problems
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?

Is this fully functional now? Thx.

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!
i'll be blunt:
-I put a bunch of pics on my phone
-made one of them my wallpaper
-decided to delete a bunch of them
-deleted the pic I used for my wallpaper by accident
-I want to find the physical file....but it doesnt exist.
...BUT I can turn my phone completely off and when I turn it back on it still manages to load the deleted image as the wallpaper. If it can still load the image it must be on my phone somewhere...or is it?

It's in /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper.
You will notice that it doesn't have an extension, so using Root Explorer, copy it to your sdcard, use Rename to place the proper extension (for example: wallpaper.png) and you're ready to go!
Or just use a new wallpaper, simple.

Oh my God... Seriously, what is your problem?
Maybe he wants the exact same wallpaper and has erased it and can't find it again.
I know, it's not common, but -NEWSFLASH- it happens.
And I offered a very thorough advice on that, what exactly did you offer with your post?
You've been helpful a lot around here -don't take this the wrong way-
but you're bitter and ironic most of the time. Well, there's no need for that.

Thank you, My SD card died at some point and I really wanted to keep the picture that I had taken as my background.
I did not see the same folder structure I am used to on the evo3d for Ringtones.
I did find a \media\audio\notifications but I was only able to use these for Notifications like text messages. On my Hero I used to have a seperate ring tone for each person that calls on a regular basis. (Kinda nice not to have to look at the phone nad know how is calling).
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

I don't think that anyone's posted this specific request, but does anyone have a zip or anything of the native notification sounds that are used on Facebook messenger? I'd like to use them for other apps! If anyone has a link or a link to show me how to extract them that would be great! Thank you again.

I don't mean that one, I meant the other notification tones that Facebook messenger includes in the app natively. Not the ping sound. If there's a zip file containing all of them that would be dope. That's what I'm looking for.

Get Facebook messenger Apk file by backup. Then rename it to zip(Facebook.zip). Extract zip file and go to assets folder and find raw named folder. You get the notification tone in that folder.
