Updated: Sept 8 2009 Now over 50 clocks some in 2 sizes. Have fun with the new clocks and the new Candy.
--Linuxrebel--
I'm one of those who loves Eye Candy, but hates windows. So despite some excellent work done by xidominicanoix I couldn't use the work. So with xidominicanoix's permission to use the collection I've written a shell script that can run on your SD card and installs the new clocks in quick order.
NOTE: This is for rooted phones only. I've tested it pretty heavily on my G1 but your mileage is not guaranteed. If you are not comfortable in a Linux/Unix shell you might be best off with the tool here.
I claim only that it worked on my phone, (and that it looks cool to me )
Directions for use (Copy of the directions are also in the README file):
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a quick and easy way to change the clocks on your phone without the hassle of using windows adb, etc.
Unfortunately for those who aren't rooted, this will not work. Root is required to be able to use
this script and change the clock. There are lots of tutorials on how to root phones, so go forth and google to find your answers.
Usage:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Connect your phone to your main computer and copy the file clocks.tgz to your sdcard
2. Disconnect the phone, as the rest will not need your computer to complete.
3. Open a term window (I like connectbot your preference may vary)
4. su
5. cd /sdcard
6. tar -vzxf clocks.tgz (this will open the tar gzip file)
7. cd Clocks
8. sh setclock.sh backup (This will backup your existing clock)
9. sh setclock.sh [name of the clock you want to use]
You can remove the clocks.tgz file anytime you want once it is opened it's no longer used. If you run backup a second time it restores the originally backed up clock.
NOTES:
Images of the various clocks are in the the directory called Images. The Image viewer on the G1 picks them up (may need to force it to re-read) and I'd imagine that the other phones work the same, so you can see what it is you are going to get that way. The Directory name will match the name of the picture to make life better. To add a clock to this script all you need to do is make a directory under Clocks, with the AlarmClock.apk file in it, and then run the script to have it 'installed' the same as all the others.
Again thanks to xidominicanoix for gathering together permission to use all of these clocks, and giving me the idea to do it this way. (Since I couldn't use his bloody windows tools )

Seems I forgot about the Windows side of the world. All I have at home are *nix systems (Linux, Mac and BSD), so if you are not on a *nix or Cygwin enabled system a zip file

Are you having hard time with xidominicanoix's version or mine? If mine let me know what the problem is. If xidominicanoix's I'm going to be as in the dark as anyone could be.
Yeah I am having problems with his, just can't seem to get it working for me.
Edit: So we have to go back into term everytime we want to change it? Or am I missing the easier way to do it?

Good bad or ugly, yes you do need to go back to term. UNLESS a miracle happens and I instantly figure out how to to Android style programming I'm an admin not a programmer.
Np, I can deal with term a helluva a lot easier than I can with adb.
works great..takes a few seconds after initial set up to bang into terminal the commands to change the clock. I have had issues with ADB where I seem to lose adb connection for unknown reasons and phone doesnt connect so this method for me is alot easier.
thanks!
works great .. .thanks ... it shows up on my home screen but does not show up in my open home home screen :/ is there a way I could make it work in open home?
wow so easy and straight from the phone
thanks for this!!
hello .... it's not working for me..
when i get to step:
8. sh setclock.sh backup (This will backup your existing clock)
my g1 says cp: cannot stat '//system/app/AlarmClock.apk': No such file or directory
hmmmmmmmmmmm
what to do
i HAve Cm 4.0.2

Looking into it.
EDIT: I did the only thing I can imagine is that a theme you are using has moved the AlarmClock.apk package and I've no idea where.
I'm stumped

The normal location of the clock is /system/app (or //system/app, same place extra /)
Is it perhaps possible that the theme you are using moves the AlarmClock.apk? If you can give me a link to the theme (I'm more than a little tired at the moment and having really lousy luck with search.) I'll see if I can figure out what the author of that did, or if it is even the problem.
Worked perfect I love it thank you very much!
i iused the other verion of doing this from the link provided in the top of the 1st post......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538189&page=12
that worked for me!!!!!!!!!!!!
edit:
found it out myself
And what about even more easiest switching. Try this one http://www.mediafire.com/?whgtmmt5uui. Unpack copy folder to sd card then run just once clock_install.sh via GScript Lite app. For switch clock open terminal and write clock.
I'm running on CM 4.0.4 and when I input the setclock.sh clock name it works and everything works perfect except that I never can get the clock widget its always the same watch as before any help?

I am running CM 4.04 too on my MT3G and everything works. I now have TedLight clock on my phone. The only problem I have is that I wanted Clock5, but my keyboard or emulator refuse to use digits. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to type digits or it is just my phone is not cooperating?
Thanks.
Would anybody mind posting some highlights?
GUIDE: Getting some old features back
INTRO: For those who dislike some of the changes/features made to roms as they are developed and are asking how to get them back, here is a how to. It is usually a simple matter of pushing the old files from previous builds into your current rom. Keep in mind that the devs are building a rom as they see fit. As with any rom that you don't build yourself, there will always be things you want to change.
-If there is a bug, post it in the thread.
-If there is a change that you personally want, then do it yourself. Don't expect the dev, and everyone else who uses the rom, to accommodate your specific needs/wants. You may not have noticed, but you aren't the only one using the rom!
NOTE: This guide and code are meant for the virtuous sense rom, but the concept is universal. For example, if you are using some rom and the new version is posted with, say the amazon mp3 apk removed, and you want it back, refrain from cluttering up the dev's thread with a request to have it back. This is both selfish and a waste of posting space. If you are to the point of installing custom roms, you should first be able to type basic adb/terminal emulator commands to copy/delete files. In this case you would extract the amazon mp3 apk from an old .zip and push/install it into your current one. Now wasn't that easier than waiting and hoping that someone will do it for you?
NOW TO THE GUIDE:
Auto brightness mod - To revert from the auto brightness 'mod', which is far too sensitive, to the original, simply pull the services.jar and framework-res.apk from a rom before the patch, and push them to your framework folder. I've attached them to the second post for ease.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\services.jar /system/framework
adb push [directory of saved file]\framework-res.apk /system/framework
Reboot
-------------------
Keyboard mapping - The www/com key has been changed to a tab, which is good, as it was non-functional before. However the user keys have been changed too. I've modified a file which keeps the www/com key as TAB but also keeps the user keys as user assignable keys. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad.kl
adb push [directory of saved file]\vision-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
Reboot
-------------------
Rosie auto-rotate - If you want to keep it so that rosie will only be in portrait mode with the keyboard closed, but dont want to turn off auto-rotate throughout all apps, just push the old rosie. Also attached to second post.
Reboot into recovery
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.launcher.apk
adb push [directory of saved file]\com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app
Reboot
Attachments:
You need to rename "services.jar.zip" back to "services.jar" and "vision-keypad.kl.zip" back to "vision-keypad.kl". This is because the forum wont let you upload .kl and .jar extensions as attachments.
Thanks so much for this. I'll definitely be pushing the auto-brightness mod back, and I may do the keyboard, too (might let others do that one first, or see if rmk40/eViL release an update with that first).
Thanks for this!

What version of virtuous are you running? Did you rename it and remove the .zip from the end?
I'm using that exact file w/ no issues
calendar/lockscreen
Is it possible to replace the sense lockscreen/calendar with the vanilla versions? I have tried searching but can't find find any instructions for how to do this

Lockscreen - no.

Good idea with this thread. It's impossible for us to please everyone and this is absolutely the most constructive way to deal with everyone's personal preferences. There is one key consideration for everyone. If we make other changes to the frameworks which you DO want, pushing files from this thread which have not been updated with said features will eliminate those changes as well. Point is, the concept here is good but it needs to be maintained.
Also, the intention with Virtuous is to provide options. The ROM isn't finalized so ROM Manager isn't populated with all the variants it will eventually have. Case in point, we had to re-base on the new Egypt RUU and are in the process of re-applying all our changes. If we had a variety of options, we would have to redo all of those as well. Once we're in a more "final" state, you'll start to see a lot more choices officially supported with the ROM.
The keyboard mod you have here will probably just become part of Virtuous 0.8.0, by the way. I had not realized our replacement eliminated the quick key customizations (oversight).
Chances are I'm not doing it right, as I'm only about 2% oriented in using ADB, but after following the code, pushing the files, etc, the phone boots up with perpetual errors and crashes. (Phone cannot be launched, etc.)
The process in which I did it was:
Wipe the G2, install v0.7.0, update to 0.7.4, remain in recovery and use adb and followed the code you provided above. (Everything says it works, in terms of mounting, pushing, etc.)
I've also tried it where I reboot after updating, let the phone launch fully, then go back to recovery to push the mod files. Same errors occur.
The only two mods I was interested in were the auto-brightness one and the orientation one.
Any idea what I did wrong?

Well from what you are saying, it sounds like the methods are correct. Did you make sure to remove the ".zip" from the end of the services.jar.zip file?
Can this be modified to restore ".com/www" to G2's?

Yup, and I have "always show extension" enabled in folder options, so I definitely got rid of the .zip.
Maybe I'll fiddle with it a little more, see if I missed something.
All right, here's the error I get after removing the files for the brightness mod, and pushing the ones you attached in:
"The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly."
Basically the launcher is completely inaccessible, the phone remains perpetually in the settings screen because I suppose it's the only thing that it can load without the launcher. It also can't get a signal except for wi-fi, "Mobile Networks" in the settings remains unchecked, and it can't be turned on. Hahaha pretty severe for a rather simple mod.
Here's a full step-by-step of exactly what I did:
Wipe User Data, Wipe Cache
Install virtuous v0.7.0, then v0.7.4 from zip
Remain in Recovery
Open command prompt Change directory to ADB (c:\AndroidSDK\tools)
Entered the following codes one at a time:
- adb shell mount /system (mounts)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/services.jar (file removed)
- adb shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk (file removed)
- adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework (success 0.250s)
- adb push C:\framework-res.apk /system/framework (success 1.80s)
(I just have the files on C temporarily for the ease of it.)
Reboot
Then the errors hit once I unlock the screen.
Heheh, I can't really think of any other way to approach it. Hmmmm.
Any idea what I'd need to put back for video codecs? I'm running CM 6.1 but it doesn't run streaming videos from the NHL Gamecenter unlike the stock rom. I'm assuming its a codec issue and was wondering what I'd want to replace.

Weird, I have no idea why that won't work for you. Anyway, there is another way around it. Just open up your patch.zip (from 0.7.0 to 0.7.4), go to the framework folder, and remove the services.jar and framework-res.apk from it. Then go about the wipe/install of both zips like normal. That way the patch zip will no longer replace those two files. Anything that you don't want changed in a patch zip can just removed from it.

Sorry cant help on that one, I haven't run a CM rom since like 1 or 2.0 haha. You may try to see if others are having that problem, or if it is a known issue with the 6.1 and streaming videos. Is it only that site? Maybe a flash player version problem?

Yea, I assumed it would be out-dated soon anyway, as changes are made to your roms. I'll adjust it to keep up if the need is there though. It was just a couple of the more simple alterations that I made, and after seeing so many people cluttering up your thread with posts about them, I decided to post this.
Mostly, though, I just wanted to remind people that many simple issues/personal needs (like an app being removed from a rom, or a small change to one or two apps) can be solved with a little bit of thought and some adb knowledge - both of which should be present if you are working with a rooted phone in the first place!

Heres how you load it to your phone...
download this to your computer and unpack and install...Android SDK | Android Developers this is ABD (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Once thats downloaded...
plug your phone in to your pc using the usb cable.
on your phone
go to your settings
go to applications
development
check the usb debugging box (it must have the green check in the box)
then swipe down the notification bar
click on the usb connected
click on mount
on your pc
download the zip on in this post...decepticon.zip
open the abd and go to the tools folder.
rename the zip to bootanimation.zip
copy the and paste the zip into your tools folder in the abd
click on start
run
then type cmd in in the box ( this will bring up a black box)
now this is where some people get lost....
Where ever you saved your ABD is its location... when ABD tools folder is open look at the the browser window and copy it. that is its location remember it make a cheat sheet of it cause if you messed p a step you can just refer back to it instead of hunting all over your computer for it.
example mine is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools
In the black bock type cd then the location of your tools folder..
example...cd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools...
Then hit enter
then type..
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
it may take a second, then it will show in the black box that it had downloaded x amount in x amount of sec.
Then you can unmount your phone
Turn off your phone
then restart it...
enjoy your new animation
If I missed a step or you have a issue let me know...I am by means no expert nor do I code or anything like that. I learned how to do it from another forum just like all of you, and got lost in the process. But this is the easiest way to do it, and much easier that the way I learned

adb reboot
Root explorer:
enable r/w mode
move the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder
I just got mine to work, only took a minute to do. If you go to root explorer do he following.
1. find the file in system/customize/resources named bootanimation.zip (it may have something else in front of it. Mine was spc_bootanimation.zip)
2. click at the top where is says r/w
3. find the boot animation you want to find and long press and choose mve
4. put it in the file system/customize/resources and paste it there
5. longress and change the permissions to match the origial one
6. change the name of the old one (i put a one at the end of bootanimation)
7. change the nam of the new anmation to what the original was
8. change back to r/o same way you changed to r/w
9. reboot nd enjoy.

By the way, /system/customize/resource is for sense, aosp is /system/media.
Sorry I didn't specify, I thought that cm roms were all sense. Thanks for the info roxxorz, good to know if I ever go back to an aosp.

Just for future reference, if you ever say 'I thought CM was sense' someone of ignorance spots it, they'll flame you horribly.
But yea, CM = AOSP = No sense. So you have to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct folder,
Crap, I was confused I forgot I flashed from evo deck which was cm kernel and aosp, I'm now on misfits rc1 which is like a sense/gengersense mix, really nice, but not cm. I forgot I changed to misfit therefore te cm being sense lol. My own ignorence. Thanks for the info man. I'm still learning very slowly lol.
Hey JSmurfy, if you want a custom splash page and cant get it in adb I have the file you would need to flash it as well. I finally got mine changed using it since i can't us adb to push it to the phone. Just let me know.

Crap, I was confused I forgot I flashed from evo deck which was cm kernel and aosp, I'm now on misfits rc1 which is like a sense/gengersense mix, really nice, but not cm. I forgot I changed to misfit therefore te cm being sense lol. My own ignorence. Thanks for the info man. I'm still learning very slowly lol.

Well easy to get it confused because there are 'senseless' roms, which is htc sense removed, so it LOOKS like AOSP, with the vanilla [CM style lock screen]. You just have to make sure what the rom says in the features, ect.
If you can't/not good with adb, you can use root explorer [purchase or search through google] to move it to the correct folder.
Thats what I did, using root explorer and it works great. With adb I get it to find my phone but when I try to push something to it, it starts to go and then fails says no remote access or something like that. With some research everything I found saysit's because myhboot is 2.10 and with that hboot you can't flash but since my buil is the 40000 block build I cant downgrade my hboot so had to find a work around.

You can use adb with hboot 2.10, I do so all the time. Just when using adb, be sure to always enter in adb remount before doing anything. It would look like this:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
And you'd be done.
OMG where have you been. I have been searching for 3 freaking days and everyone says you cant with 2.10. You my just became my new bestfriend lmao.

By the way, /system/customize/resource is for sense, aosp is /system/media.

ok.. final question.. do i have to move can i not just long press, copy, then paste.. i dont wanna move my file out of there.. for safe keeping.. cause i have all my folders in order and stuff
wooo hoo im convinced i have to be either the dumbest person on this site orrrrr im being over cautious.. when i went intothe system/media folder it said audio only.. no other file was in there just that folder which was a sub folder for alarms, notofications, ringtones, ui
am i missing somthing
One day, I made a uot theme for cm7 and instead of choosing cm7 for bootanimation, I chose sense. It worked. BUT when I flashed new themes with different bootanimations that I correctly chose cm7 for, it didn't work. It stayed on the sense one. Trying reflashing cm7 and then move files.with root explorer
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
ok if i wasnt confused before.. now i definitely am.. HUHHHH
Go to system/customize/resource and delete bootanimation.zip and whatever the audio file is.. if there is one. Then try to flash your bootanimation

Christ...
OK, look, for CyanogenMod-based ROMs, just put the bootanimation.zip in /data/local
No screwing around with /system, or anything. Plus, this way, you'll keep your boot animation even if you upgrade the ROM, like from 7.0.3.1 to 7.1.0.
So when it's all said and done, the ZIP file should be
Code:
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
Enjoy.
Here is an interesting article that will help you if you want CRT screen Off animation like in Nexus S:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
Worked with no problems on my SGC with Rogers ROM.
I actually used NinjaMorph to package the modified resources.arsc into framework-res.apk, but I assume the original method will work too.
Safe to flash
this?

Probably no. Most likely you will end up with phone freezing on the Samsung logo at boot. framework-res.apk files are not interchangeable between models, maybe not even between firmware versions for the same phone.
Can you post a step by step guide then? I can't really understand anything here
The step-by-step instructions from the link in the first post are pretty much what i did. Read the comment by ravenstark - if you mount the filesystem with root explorer there will be no need to execute the commands in red in section 8.
The instructions from the link in your post cover steps 3-7. You still have to download the file to your PC (1), decompile it (2) and upload it back to the phone once you are done with it (8).
For the first step which terminal do you use??
(Free Your Android guide)
adb. If you don't have you can download it from here. It is part of the SDK and probably the most essential tool.
The command is exactly as written there

What do you mean? If you're using a Windows PC, then just open up a cmd prompt. You should read the guides at the beginning of that page so you know how to setup adb and the apk tool.
The big picture is this. Connect your pc to computer, pull file from phone to PC using adb, modify file on PC, push file back to phone using adb.
For what it's worth, here's a thread I wrote quite a long time ago, some is not applicable for the Glide, but most of it still applies. If you're going to be mucking around in your phone it's best to know how to do a few things first. Read Before Flashing.
When I try and open SDK or AVD (what's the difference :| ) then I just get a quick terminal screen that closes.
It would be appreciated if someone could just create a flashable CWM version >_<
I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Ok, so what have you done so far?
What should be done. Assuming you're using Windows, install the Android SDK. Once installed, launch the SDK Manager. Then from the list of installable options, choose the Platform Tools and I always like to get the drivers. Once done, you will have this path, CrogramFiles(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, now you could add this path to your variables in Windows, which would be easiest, or copy the Platform-tools folder to C:. Then plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
Now, if you added the Path to your variables, just go Start>Run>cmd, and at the cmd prompt type adb devices. If you see a device you're good.
If you copied the Platform-tools folder over, then Start>Run>cmd, and in the cmd prompt type,
C:
then
cd platform-tools
then
adb devices
Beyond that, can't really help, never use apk tool. Good luck.

Attached to this post is a CWM update with CRT Screen OFF and battery icon with percent for ROGERS ROM. I'm not sure this will work on AT&T ROM.
Make a backup before applying this update so you can restore if you end up stuck on SAMSUNG logo on boot.
Apologies to the author of the battery mod - I couldn't find his post to link to here...

Hopefully the file tcfx44 posted works for you. Either way, I highly suggest you learn how to use adb and some other tools if you plan on flashing your phone in the future. It could prove useful some day.
Will this apply over OsiMood? I really am not sure if I am using the Rogers, but apparently I am because in XDA App it says I927-R and same with a benchmark.
Doesn't work for OsI mood 2.1.30 or whatever version was released today. I don't want to give up the amazing UI and stuff of OSi. I'm working fine though, so doesn't look like the install failed or bricked. Any revisions?

I changed a bit the CWM mod. Hopefully this one will work. Make a backup of your current ROM - I'm not sure if this mod is compatible with OsiMood.

CRT Screen Mod -- Works with Rom manager..
Addition
Default Battery Indicator Changed.. Shows Percentage in steps of 5%..
Anyone having problems powering off and crashing GO Launcher? (then run through media scanner, etc..)
Could you remove the battery mod? I don't like it compared to OSiMood battery >_>
Finally, sorry for demanding so much, could you also put CRT on and ICS animations here?
Sorry!!!!!
Having serious problems turning off. This then affects my underclock.
