PS. Still tested only on GSG2, the rest working phones you can find in comments of this thread.

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
Thanks!

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!

Great work mate.. Will thank you

+ result is saved into db every ~0.25m - to have it resistant for reinstallation

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?

[DEV] sprint clock for Xperia / Blackstone

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
Screenshot:

Any help whould be appreciated, please post feedback if you try this mod.
No wishlist for now, as there is enough work to complete
Reserved
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?
Thanks,

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
move all discussion to 1 thread here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3285264#post3285264

[APP] Create shortcuts to TouchWizz/LauncherPro/ADW/... on your desktop

Hello, just made an app that allow users to "jump" to your favourite Home.
I just create a shortcut to the Home you want., just have a look at this Video, maybe that will be easier to understand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpONctP2F8
I found that Home switcher need such a feature, I contacted the dev, but doesn't want to work on something like that, so I did it myself!
Remarks:
* Cyrket description here
* Allow you to assign a wallpaper for each Home.
* Use the longpress on homescreen and create a shurtcut? If you launch the main app, the shortcuts will be created on ALL your Home! so you will need to delete some ;-)
Just tell me if you find that usefull or not!
That's strange, I have 30k downloads and currently not a lot of feedback!

Not available in the market for me..
Can you have two shortcuts to the same home launcher, but each with different setups?
For example, shortcut 1 is to ADW + wallpaper A + layout A, and shortcut 2 is to ADW + wallpaper B + layout B?
Hello I removed it from the market due to bad feedbacks.
The app is working like a charm on my HTD Desire, Galaxy S and Acer Liquid.
Unfortunately, people don't send me feedback by email.
The app is now again in the Market, please report any bug here or via email!
where can I get it from ?
I searched market for EasyHome nothing appear.
Also the bar code shows nothing in Market.
I'd like to give it a try as I always switch between desktops
Looool too bad, Just put the app in the Market after mlj11 post and removed it a few hours ago ( I got 7 times 5 stars rating and 8 times one star)
Seem that the app is working on half of the devices
The app is now in the Market ( for sure) and if you cannot find it here is a mirror:
http://christophe.frandroid.com/EasyHomeNew.apk
Give it a time and it will gain popularity
I will try and post my experience here
Even if I didn't like it, I will give you 5 stars for the effort
Here are 2 more screenshots:
As you can see I created a Shortcut to LauncherPro with wallpaper A and ADW with wallpaper B and everything work fine.

This is great.
After intensive use this is what I have been looking for since long time.
No bugs or any issues so far.
But I didn't understand how you can make different wallpapers?
I'm using SGS i9000
I just corrected a few minuts ago...
You have to click on "create complex shortcuts" and you will choose a wallpaper.
Then make EasyHome as default home ( you will loose home button behaviour on a few launchers unfortunately) and that should work

Great, got it.
I really like it
Thanks a lot.
This is one of the apps that made my life easier on SGS
I am so upset, the app is working nice on all my devices and no negative feedback here or in my french favourite forum.
But comments in the market are still bad:
This frickin crashed my phone so it wouldnt work at all-moto droid

But how do you keep the screen always on while on external power like the old windows mobile. On S2, can set the max screen time-out of 10 mins only.

[Theme Keyboard] Make your own themed HTC IME Keyboard

Hey y'all. just reaching out to all the HTC IME fans out there, i recently switched to it as my go-to keyboard bc of its fluidity, gestures, and customizability but i never really liked the white and gray look of it, esp on our SAmoled screens. so i did a quick google search and I stumbled upon this:
Please keep in mind this is a somewhat BASIC theme maker
ALL CREDIT GOES TO gIMpSTa for creating this super, super simple online kitchen

The reason I've been slower at posting requests lately is about to come clear!
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit

Yeah it says its a BETA, yeah its in the Nexus One thread, and yeah you have to register first (one of the simplest registrations ive ever seen), but i just created my own theme and its working perfectly! When i made my theme, i selected "v27-froyo high res" (its default)
You will need Clicker.apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16210550/Clicker.apk
Installation steps:
1) Create your theme on your computers browser
1b) DL to your phone via any QR Scanner
--OR--
1) Create your theme right from your phone!
2) Extract the zip
3) Install the apk (both keyboard + clicker apks)
4) Settings>Keyboard>Enable HTC IME Keyboard
5) Settings>Keyboard>Set Input method to HTC IME Keyboard
Done
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE KEYBOARD INSTALLED you have to uninstall(or remove from system/app) the original HTC_IME_mod.apk or else it wont stick after you reboot.You might as well make a backup of your original apk, just in case.
FYI, im running Calk's v1.1 and am not experiencing any problems, whatsoever.
ENJOY
Edit: after rebooting/killing the keyboard none of my settings are sticking.. -.-' --FIXED. just make sure to install the Clicker.apk link above (link from VeNuM's Black theme thread)
This was posted in the alt keyboard thread but its cool that it has its own thread as its such a valuable tool, thanks for creating the OP!

Issues and questions - please quote this post in your answer:

Lets see if we cant fix this damned thing!
I'm using BakedRom 4.2.1 - nova launcher prime - no undervolting or clocking anything, using AK purity v15, have set on 3 homescreens - and I do expirience, not just a little bit - but more like moderate lags when scrolling over screens ... Tried with "Tablet" homescreen animation and without it, but did not make much difference ...
ANd what happens when you disable the "scrolling lines" animation?
