I've got an orange htc desire, rebranded, rooted and unlocked and i've been enjoying the various roms released on the dev forum.
Currently running Pays Desire Froyo Sense v1.8, with radio 32.43.00.32u_5.09.00.20
The most stable and quickest rom though , to me, is open desire. the only thing that stops me from going wholesale over to open desire is that i love the clock widget in Sense.
Specifically the countdown clock runs in silent mode and breaks through it when the alarm rings. this means i can turn the phone to silent so i don't get interrupted by phone calls or emails but can confidently know that the alarm will sound. I've just tried a couple of timers from the market and they don't seem to have this function.
anyone got any ideas?
Ok I was removing Sprint apps with Titanium Backup. Got rid of the following:
Nascar
Peep
Flickr
Qik
Sprint Navi
Later in the day as I rebooted the phone, I lost the htc lock screen and now have the stock froyo lock screen.
Honestly I'm happy with the stock lock screen but, my alarm doesn't function properly (found out the hard way) have to shut the phone off and back on to turn off the damn alarm when it went off this morning lol.
So 2 questions.
1) Why did I lose the htc lockscreen? Which of those apps caused it?
2) Where can I find the stock froyo clock apk? So I can have a functioning alarm.
Thanks!

Noce of those apps control it..My guess is you accidently deleted the htclockscreen.apk in /system/?
I assume its not there anymore?
Not sure what you removed to lose the HTC lock screen, but here is the clock you need.
Hello everyone,
i have this weird problem, i installed tasker on my unrooted desire with stock 2.2 and it seems that it's not doing anything... i created a few profiles - nothing happens, i even tried making a widget for a task to set display brightness to 5 but "clicking" the widget did nothing... any ideas what i might be doing wrong?
Hi guys,
Hopefully this is a known problem - I have the stock clock/weather widget on my main screen, but if I leave my phone for a while (say 10 mins) and go back in, the time widget will be stuck on the time previous to when I locked it and then change to the current time after 2 secs or so. I cant remember having this before, as I've had the desire for a week or so. I factory reset yesterday after a apps2sd fix messed with my widgets and its still doing it.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
Well mine does the same and always did. It's probably because it is not running when the phone is on standby
Cool thanks for that, its no biggy really, I just wasn't sure if it would mess with my alarm or anything.
Always done this for me on all version of Android...doesn't bother me tbh
On Sense versions with the flip clock it'll always default 1hr and 1min back so it can show the 'flip' each time you unlock the screen...
And yes alarm should be working fine
Thats good enough for me, thanks guys.
I recently rooted my DINC (follwoing instrucstions over on androidforums), and then installed Touch Of Blue 3.0.
Before rooting, when I tapped on the HTC Clock widget, I was then able to set alarms, timers, etc.
After rooting and TOB 3.0, I still have the Clock widget, but nothing happens when I tap on the clock - I can't get to any alarm, timer, anything.
I noticed TOB had been updated since I installed it, so I installed the newer version, but still no alarm clock.
Did some reading on the forum and found out that maybe the widget doesn't work anymore (?). So I installed Fancy Widget, which looks like the regular HTC clock widget. I have Fancy Widget configured to launch the alarm when I touch on the time. But still, when I touch it, nothing happens - no alarm function is brought up. If I configure Fancy Widget to do other things when I touch on the time, those other things properly happen.
So, I am wondering if I lost the alarm function on this phone?
And if so, how do I get it back, because I really like that alarm widget. Because I couldn't get that alarm clock to display, I installed a different alarm app, but I like the widget much better, and would prefer to have that back.
Any suggestions?
Here's the kicker, though. I had also rooted another DINC, and installed TOB 2.2, and now the updated TOB 3.0. On that phone, the widget works fine and brings up the alarm/timer/etc just fine.
I wonder how I lost it on one DINC but not on the other. Either way, how do I get it back?

It does work on 3.0? It shouldnt, because i unknownly removed it by removing the worldclock.apk. Tob2.2 still has the worldclock.apk so it should work on it. I assume on the phone not working you did a clean flash of 3.0, and on the other a flash over of 2.2 with 3.0 without a wipe. Since there was no wipe, worldclock.apk carried over to 3.0.
It wouldnt work on mine either but i dont use the alarm so i never noticed, and no one else has ever mentioned it. Once i put the worldclock.apk back in /system/app, it started working fine again.
To fix it flash this thru recovery. http://dinc.does-it.net/Mods/World_Clock.zip

Thanks! That worked like a charm and was easy.
Yes, the phone that went directly to TOB3.0 after rooting was the one without the world_clock.
The phone that went to TOB2.2 after rooting, and then added 3.0 still had the world_clock, and yes, I just flashed 3.0 over 2.2 without clearing all the mounts and stuff.
Now... Any idea why the DINC that went from TOB2.2 to TOB3.0 has trouble with Google Locaiton services (it sporatically works, and does not work for the clock widget), while the DINC that went right to TOB3.0 as well as the other 2 DINC 2's in the house do not have any problems with Google Location services? The problem with the location services has been since rooting. The locaiton in the clock widget has not worked since then, and Maps rarely gets the current location either.
