Hey guys!
So the file that has been extracted from the Desire roms has been floating around the forum, which lets the clock flip whenever the time changes, but not when the phone is unlocked.
I am running JT_DesireZ_Beta 1.1, and the flip clock that is in this particular rom flips whenever the phone is unlocked. I have fallen in love with this, and was wondering if this is possible in any other Sense UI rom!
Thanks for any input!
The one I'm using with Calukin's ROM flips when it's unlocked... I didn't realize there was one that didn't.
Yeah, his do that by default because they're built into the rom.
If you try adding those to any other rom, they won't flip when unlocked. If you run any other sense roms, try it out.
I have two different .zip files for the clock, but they're both identical in size... I couldn't find anything else out by searching.

Hi All
Apologies if this has been asked already, new to this forum, just wondered is there any how i can get the animated flip clock widget installed and working on my htc desire tmobile (uk) not the lame ones from the market but the actual one from htc like on hero, have tried installing a zip file that floating around from htc hero, gsm , it opens and tries install but says cannot install?
Thanks
that clock should be already installed on your phone just try adding the htc clock then select the style you are after
i think this is what u are after
let me know if this was it
thanks
I also wondered the same when I got mine - if you go to add a new widgit to your home page and add the clock made by HTC, then at the bottom you can flick through to choose your style, the flick clock is about 3 in.
Hope that helps.

HTC removed the flip animation that was previously in the HTC Hero flip clock due to the lag it caused, it hasn't been added back on any subsequent more powerful phones since.
The flip clock is there but it isn't animated, the numbers just change.

yep thats it, dont really make SENSE removing the flip animation on a 1ghz processor, just a thought.. why do they show the actual flip animation for htc desire which can be seen on the advert played in uk??
Hi,
anybody knows where to find it flip clock?
Now I see why all the original roms with HTC Sense don't have the flipping animation...
There an app(or widget, I suppose) called flip clock, which gives you an flip clock that actually flip when it's ticking. And there's a hotfix I found on a Chinese android forum, but after I flashed it through recovery, the RosieUtility FC...

You probably need to flash the zip file via recovery

it is. on every new phone after desire with desire... we hadn't luck i guess
edit. i didn't saw the date, sorry
i've actually asked that question before haha. just download the file found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10983800&postcount=14
make sure you have the clock widget already on your homescreen and then just flash the .zip file through recovery and you'll have a flippy clock in no time!
Argh this broke my clock widget! It's just blank and can't remove or uninstall it.

Need to learn nothing in that respect! Was simply stating there will be an issue for some.

is this in regards to the file i posted? taht's weird then... i've flashed the same file tons of times and it's always worked out brilliantly for me
I'm a fan of smooth animation but not likely to switch to MIUI or cyanogenmod because of my existing dataand apps.
I successfully get app/drawer opening and closing animation by using launcher pro(although I still miss my good old HTC sense widgets).
Since then I've tired messing up with framework-res.apk but changed nothing except battery icons.
Now my question is: whether there is a way to get keyboard animation without flashing a new rom?
Or in advance, get opening and closing animation with it all together?

I tried this a few weeks ago with no luck. If you look in the framework-res.apk under res, and then anim, this is where all animations are stored.
What i did was look for a Galaxy S framework-res.apk since it has all the fancy animations, copied it's anim folder into my DHD's framework-res.apk, replacing the old one. But the keyboard animation still didnt change. However, it did change the opening and closing animations that Sense uses. With sense it just open or closes abruptly, but now it zooms in and out.
Hopefully someone else could get them working.
Yes, that's what I have found so far.
Icons on the status bar also worked as supposed, but animation of keyboard not so lucky...
Desire HD is using Sense UI 2.0 which have small tweaks allowed HTC to provide sets of UI more easily, but not so dev friendly because Sense is not open source...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879426
Maybe have a look at this? Don't know if it works with sense roms.
I looked at my own apk and the one over in that thread, but there isnt much differnce in the lines he mentioned.....
My experience in this kind of things is zero, so cannot help further....
I read the post few weeks ago but just as I mentioned, some GUI is now related with sense and closed source systems like ios and HTC sense are nightmares of devs.
Supreme. Maybe try ripping the galaxy s keyboard from a deodexed rom, maybe there is some nessesary code in the galaxy s keyboard itself needed before the animation works ......

That's definitely not related, all the keyboards I'm using now, including google input and touchpal get in/out animation on an MIUI rom so keyboard app itself is not related. There should be an XML to control all of these and the only question is where hTC hide it... maybe somewhere in sense...
Hey guys. So I'm running Kings Unleashed R5 w/ Gravity On Ice theme and couldn't be happier with it. I'm kinda new to theming so I apologize for the noob question. I found and downloaded an icon pack for GOI which had about 10 in it. What I'm trying to find out is does this mean that's all I can use? Are widgets from other Sense roms compatible. I can't find it now but there was a Pandora 4x1 clear widget that I really liked. I've searched the forums only to turn up nothing. Anybody can help I'd really appreciate it.
If thats all the icons that it had in it, then yes. That said you can use any icons you want depending on how you want to install them, ie via root explorer by swapping the .png files, pushing them or via your launcher if you use adw or lp. Im very new to this so I'm not sure on the sense widgets. I would think that so long as they arent for a version of sense that's newer than the one on your rom you would be fine, but please verify before trying as I dont use sense often (waiting for virus to finish fixing his kingdom port). Oh and no idea on that widget sounds sweet I like clear backgrounds. Hope this helps
I'm running the most recent official Sprint ROM. Rooted of course. There's a theme I've found that is for a more recent build of Sense. I already converted the clock over to Fancy Widget Pro but the espresso (dock) and taskbar match perfect and it looks awesome. I got into the new ROM's rosie.apk and found the necessary files that make up the taskbar and espresso (dock) so my question is this:
Can those files be renamed and placed into the old rosie.apk from the rooted original Sprint ROM and installed over the existing one to update the dock and taskbar? I've poked around in the old rosie.apk and found that it seems to be put together a little differently. I'm feeling like that's precisely the problem and this isn't possible, but I wanted some experts' opinions.
Thanks guys.

Png are not coded anyway to match a certain Rom or device. They're just an image.
Rosie for sense 1.0, has more dependencies in com.htc.resources.apk. Ie, the dock icons are located in com.htc.resources.apk (res/drawable-port-hdpi/).
But thee is an alternative and that is to rewrite rosie where all of its pieces are located in rosie.apk and do not deal with com.htc.resources.
Aamikam rewrote the regular app, phone, custom rosie to support this. I made one with phone, app, custom. Anyways, click on my themes thread in my signature. Go to my rosie galore. Find the ones that say they work for all Sprint ota 3.70 based roms. Those are all inclusive. Feel free to use it as your base. Just give a shout out to where you found it if you post it. Thanks!

So I just flashed Synergy the other day, my first Android ROM. Today I was mucking about with things, including trying other ROMs, kernels, and other stuff when I came across Rosie. Earlier today I figured out what the Rosie Utility was on the ROM, and I was looking for a way to modify the app drawer since I don't like the pages and someone mentioned Rosie.
From what I can tell the Rosie threads and utilities are all individual 1-off flashable zips or Metamorph scripts/objects to customize the bottom bar in a specific way.
But I have a utility that lets me change the right button on my bar on the fly. Can't change them all, just the right one.
So what's the difference?
And what's this carousel thing people are talking about? i saw some threads where the two were said to be compatible.
