I wanted sprint clock for my xperia 'cause with my modern phone look flip clock seems boring...
No success in my search, so I started hacking myself using the fabulous 6Fg8's manila mode 9 editor (still work in progress but very usefull)
As my development depends for maximum part on this editor, expect progress when more features become available. Thanks 6Fg8
My goals are:
- integrate the original sprint clock in manilaHD instead of flipclock
- Get rid of top bar (operator logo ecc)
- Shift up all indicators on home to have more room
- Add more appointments / tasks / whatever else to home
Progress:
01/10/09 - Initial release
Status:
- Top bar deleted
- All indicators are shifted up
- Quick & dirty workaround to eliminate 1pixel horizontal line in middle of numbers, still flipclock
Bugs:
- Bottom down arrow too low, have to find how to shift up
- Poor clock animation, no fix until real sprint clock

No wishlist for now, as there is enough work to complete

Promising! I would like a clock without the line, though the animation isn't really a problem to me. Will you be making seperate files? Also, what could cause the animation to slow down? I find that a rather odd side effect for shifting the lower part of the clock for 1px.
script are embedded in manila m9 file and also are stored in a separate lua file... Both are unknown and the clock animation can't be fixed for now.
Multiple file for what? All these changes are stored in only 1 manila file, once all has discovered I will make different file for different layput
Penguin Background and Font
Can you please post your Penguin Background for download.
Aslo, what font did you use and how did you change it?

Guap,
Thank you vey much, it is greatly appreciated.
simple and elegant, nice font by the way. I wouldn't mind trying this.
I actually don't mind the flip clock panels, it would actually look quite nice on your theme but in the sony ericsson green but in kinda glossy style.
regardless, looks good so far.
nice!!
next rel.?
waiting new editor, for nex step hex editing is too complicated to make by hand
Nice. I´m happy that somebody removed that ugly 1pixel horizontal line in middle of numbers.
I will realy appreciate if you can post the manila file with only this modification. Only with the removed 1pixel horizontal line.
I deleted that file as it was a very brutal quick&dirty workaround. anyway now shouldn't be complicated to do with m9editor, just shift up or down by 1 pixel the "clock3d" group
working for next release, but as far as I go deep in manila I discover what kind of mess it is
That looks really nice.
nice work, looks good
So, what's the status on this ambitious project?
stopped due inability to decrypt some lua scripts. Need to wait our developers for even more powerful editors
Heh. And then there's always the Manila2 issue!
lol, spoken too early I did it

Beta Cab (0.8) available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
All,
Dock-N-Play (DnP) is a "Craddleware" application that detects when your phone is craddled and on external power. If so it launches a "animated" today screen that provides a clock, email, current weather and appointments along with... wait for it... an animated background! This is one of those - "WOW that's neat... can I get that for my phone?" impress your co-workers applications. I have posted a few screen shots. My hope is a small community will help create animations to share with others. After the initial release in WVGA I will create a VGA version for others (likely not QVGA though - sorry)
The next release (after this one) will include some more options to:
- go full screen,
- assign quick-launch programs to front icons,
- change clock to completely transparent, semi transparent or fully non-transparent
A later release will add assignable quick launch icons to the middle of the screen for things like GPS navigation, Phone, Locking etc
Here are a few preview screens:

Beta Cab available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
Some known issues! {beta}
I believe this will only work on English ROMs... the next release will fix this. Setting location for weather requires "blind" typing or use of something like My Mobiler... also will be fixed. Please feel free to create your own animation skins but be forwarned that I will be making minor changes to the config.ini and txt files to accomodate needed internationalization changes. The next major release will include a PDF guide for creating skins but I'm guessing many will be able to just look and edit existing sample files. Also current CAb does not allow/display option to load to storage card... as soon as I figure out why I will fix this too
Please enjoy and know that fixes/enhancements will be forthcoming
Wow...very nice indeed.
One request, can this app have a lock feature?
Sounds Great, Hope It Goes Well, And Keep Us Updated
Incredibly nice idea, I'll definately test this out once you release the beta. Cheers!
try to make it run in fullscreen and take advantake of the hd's resolution.
thanks, and great project.
Great job...
Looks very good.. keep up the good work looking forward to test it
Can we have a youtube preview ? 'cause the picture previews doesn't really give us an idea of what it is like to have an animated background
I'm rebuilding my dev box with Windows 7 and watching the Superbowl... I'll put a video on my blog tomorrow and add a link to the first page.
Looks like a really great idea! Looking forward to testing it out, keep it up!
an Idea
abeery, what about an option to turn Touch HD into a picture frame ?
i.e full screen picture slideshow.
Good Luck to you and all Developers!
Some quick comments and answers
Added video to first link
Animations can be created by end users so picture frame possible
Full screen an option I will add but not use myself because I need full notication task bar icons for work
i love the idea!
what i would like to see in this app is a three mode function(or more).. for use in the car, home and office..
lets say i get in my car and i dock the phone on its holder, a screen will pop up with 3 big buttons that say "Car" "Home" "Office"
i click the button Car and the car menu shows in screen.. maybe it has a big clock a big "Call" button a Button to launch my GPS app etc..
when i receive a phone call in Car mode a screen should pop up with some nice buttons to answer or reject the call.. maybe a photo of the caller etc!
Now for the "Home" and "Office" modes what you already developed seem to fit
cheers!
I love this idea... Let me play with it and see what I can come up with... may end up being a version 1.5 release but I will do it.

Brilliant work can't wait finally something to show off to the iphone boys.
Will we be able to get rid of the bottom "curtain" and make the clock smaller in order to see more of the background?
Maybe make the clock background transparent instead of white so that more of the beautiful animation background can be seen.
Beta Cab now available
Wow thanks will give it a try
Thanks a lot for your idea and work
I like a lot the idea of umexed +1
Hi guys,
Just as I read so many posts concerning the new manilla wallpaper I decided to make it myself.
I know it aint perfect but it should have exactly the same colors as the new manilla wallpaper. If you got any tips or suggestions please post them .
- V1 version: (you will have to put your backlight to max to have max effect on your screen)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- V2 version: (shows the background clearly on all backlight modes)

I don't get what you're saying...
This wallpaper doesn't contain any text if that was you're question. I used noise, blur, gradient effect to get it like that.

why does somebody use noise & blur.. it´s senseless isn´t it... further the quality of tf3d bg simulates a noise by its own

This looks great on the TF3D screens, however, when I select the image to use on my SecondToday screen, I see lots of grey circles tiled across the entire screen.
Any suggestions on how to solve this please?

is it also possible to change the clock style? with 2.1 I used "transparentClock.cab" - can I modify this to work on 2.5 also?
i will be porting clocks today or tomoro!
i will also release the files names for other people.

Great Stuff... Very nice. I have a question for the bright people that work with manila files. Ok so I have been playing and trying to get the agenda view in the 2.1 version of manila. I find in 5f0ef87f_manila the AgendaViewComponent and find
.\Scripts\Calendar\CalendarAgendaViewScript.luac
which is file 1ECF3290_manila. Is there any way to put the lua line into the 2.1 calendar.mode9 files to use that as the default? I prefer the agenda to the month view. At some point I think it would be nice if I could add it as an option to change between month and agenda. That is down the road though.
OK I know this is not 2.5 specific but I wanted to ask an expert and it appears that you are a Great manila editor.
Thanks,
SoBBie
PS Ok just as a quick try (figured it wouldnt work but worth a shot) I renamed 1ECF3290_manila to 35F6CD5A_manila (CalendarBehavior.luac) from 2.1 and didnt get good results... thanks again if you have any advice.
Double Post... to bad we can not just delete these ourselves.
Sorry
added galss clock
Nice work, i'll be having some of this.
Quick question though, I see you are using the 2.1 tab icons and bar which I personally prefer over 2.5's. However, how easy is it to edit the icons with my own? I ran into problems editing the 2.5 icons (my icons were bottom aligned and I had no idea how to move them up).
in the new manila 2.5 (3) or manila 2.6 i have to still modify the icons when i do il post here!
absolutely fantastic.
unfortunately the cab files are not working on touch hd. is it possible to make cabs for touch hd?
wich manila files are responsible for the small clock - then i'll try to create a cab only for the tf3d clock.
Hi - what about manila 2.6? Am just running it on my touch hd, but panorizer doesn't seem to work (yet )...
Rota, if you could tell me where I can find things like clock etc. I could modify them (glass, transparent) for you as I'm kind of a graphics freak
/e: found out how to find special manila files - but how to copy them to your pc? explorer can't find them located anywhere
yes beumbel i will post the names of the files here
m not so good with grphics so it would be great if you could make some nice graphics.
i havent got the new anila 2.6 but the names are the same as the manila 2.5...will post after some time!!
I made a conceptual theme for our Blackstone, because i don't know anything about how skin, I'm asking for help.
1.) I's such a skin possible?
2.) Do you like it?
3.) Wanna help me create this Theme
This is only a sketchy concept there is still a lot of work to do.
Design all icons, choose the right scale for the elements, make clean shining graphics and optimize the colors for the device and so on...

hi
as far as I see this, it doesn't burst possibilities of skinning manila - you will just have to replace several images, but that is something you will have to ask people who know how to do this ;-)
nice concept!
on wm6.5 with HDwalls (here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511)
you can easily do it without programming skills...
the only problem I see is how to change font color to white&black...
I don't know how to make a clock or a taskbar
Also which files i have to change for the background of the
calender an missed call list?
I can't just implement them into the background because every tab
has the same background....or is there a way to change that?
For the font i don't have to be black&white...just black would be enough for the start.
It looks nice! I have these icons on my old moto razr - are they standard moto ones?

ok, the way you had the black&white it would even be possible, as far as I know just font that is white at the moment on this pictures stays white.
about the backgrounds: if you just want to change background on home tab, and leave the same on the other ones: no problem, that's possible with apps like hdwall, but if you want to have similar, but not the same backgrounds vor every tab you will need to go to the XPeria section, where user rotastrain works on a "different background on each tab" addition.
you can pm me also in german as I am german, don't think people would appreciate another spoken language in threads than english...
Thanks for the tip, I've send a pm to rotastrain asking for help.
I think he knows if it's possible or not.
the main screen should not make problems. but it will be difficult to customise task bar and bottom bar.
You schould use "Wisbar Advance" for this.

not at all you dont need Wisbar Advance... as I said just use HDwalls, it is certainly much more easier... and free! you can easily:
- customize bottom bar icons of TF3D (no need to be an expert, you have a very simple program for that)
- customize the top and bottom bars png of wm as long as you have a wm6.5 ROM and that you tick the option on HDwalls...
so now I'm just waiting for the theme
PS: to customize font colors and clock of TF3D you can certainly use Max TF3D Theme maker... very easy also to use
Good news!
The famous rotastrain and i are going to collaborate on this Theme!
He said it's possible so hold on for news!
hey - just another thing I think which is useful: you could also ask someone who already did themes like this - the author of dusk theme for example ;-)
I LOVE it!

Very interesting Idea I'm surprised nobody as replied in the post.
I'll give it a try and see if i can think of any ideas to improve and add to it
Thanks for sharing your work
Thank you for any fedback,
I would like to see how it "counts" on other phones and dpi resolutions
I have SGS2, 240dpi and it counts quite well (with my approximations for SGS2)
I think there will be needed some more calibration for other phones,
but we'll see

I am finishing my day with result as follows:
How about you?
From my firsy day impressions I am thinking about additional:
- history
- charts
- suprises after predefined distances (100m, 1000m, 42km! and etc.)
- self choosen image as a background
- on/of switch for background scrolling
Thanks for all feedback!
V.
I'm curious as to whether or not this might be better as a widget; it might cut down on CPU/battery usage, but I'm no expert. It's a great idea though, I bet we'd all be surprised just how far our finger travels...
Would love to see it as a widget too! Live Wallpaper is a bit tricky 'cause we like our wallpapers too much, to remove them "forever". Great idea & great job on this one!
On my todo list so far I have put (prq order):
- more fonts
- possibility to change location of "counter"
- calibration
- widget ( it need completly new code )
- suprises after predefined distances (100m, 1000m, 42km! and etc.)
- self choosen image as a background
- on/of switch for background scrolling
- history
- charts
- check with non standard launchers
That is a really neat idea!

PS. As it the first apk was initial it has no db saving function so You will loose your stats, but from v01 it will be stored in db so resistant for reinstallation, this db will be later used for more detailed stats.
Finger trail would be cool to add to this.maybe make the font huge to so it's not so plain. And what about user wallpapers?
