2 quick questions - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking to get a Desire, still haven't managed to have a play on one (everywhere seems to be out of stock) and just have 2 quick questions before I order one:
- Does the flip clock have the flip animation like on Sense UI on Windows Mobile (ala Leo/Topaz etc?) or can this be enabled?
- Does the phone have homescreen weather animations? (Again like Manila 2.1/2.5). I've only ever seen clouds go across the screen, but do you see rain and the wiper etc?
Thanks in advance.

1- what you mean flip animation? does the time update by flipin the 'time cards'? if so then yes it does flip
2. yes it does have all the animations

The animation I mean is like this one: (@ 0:50) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11wKmsnNnT0&feature=related

ok on my desire the clock updates so fast that theres no flip animation
i havent had a sunny weather yet so didnt notice the sun kind of glowing yet, but when its raining or its cloudy the animation works fine

Flip animation still hasn't returned to HTC sense, the HD2 had it though so maybe an issue with Android made them decide to leave it out.

this animation was removed in "second series" of htc firmware, they ware removed in update that gave us the performance boost and made hero more responsive, etc. In my case i don't miss it, but in my eyes its a "scam" from htc side, because all htc videos about hero, contains this animation, and phone doesn't

yah thanks for reply ^^? i was think my Hero problem with flip clock little sad for it(>"<)
everyday waiting fw 2.0 for hero ^~^?
who can help me,i have bugs with weather widget big icon in home screens
the weather widget problem is probably just your ROM related, i would suggest doing a factory wipe via amon ra's recovery and then flashing a new rom (preferably modaco's 2.9 at the time of writing or rooter HTC Generic 2.73.405.38, thats what i use atm)

Background All Pages - With Weather Animations!

Hey Guys .. Just found this .. and worked Great ..
I am Using: T-Mobile TP2 With Mobile 6.5 and HTC Sense
Tried 10-15 omg .. sooo many different vers and was never able to get one that worked for me.
The flip clock would be blank or would lose the weather under the clock.
and never found one that would let you change the wallpaper and still have
the weather animations on the main screen!
This is what I did ..
#1 - I turned off HTC Sence
( Settings / All Settings / today / Items - uncheck HTC Sense )
#2 - Install - apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab
( apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab )
#3 - Soft reset
#4 - Turn on HTC Sence
( Settings / All Settings / today / Items - check HTC Sense )
Worked Like A Charm ! Now Have Clock and Weather And My Fav Background / Wallpaper And Weather Animations!
Very Nice Thanks to who ever made this cab !
Thanks man! Have been looking for a solution for this.
Yesssssss! Works like a charm on NRG's Nov 12 21864 'Photon' ROM with 2.1 Sense UI. Big thanks to WarlockW and the creator.

Weather Animations on all screen
The weather animations are now working with custom wallpaper and yes it works in wide screen mode but only on the left half of the screen. One thing I don't like is that now my wallpaper is showing on all screens (eg. stock, weather, settings, email, etc) instead of the default black/dark color. Since the default text is white (and you can't change it) in most cases it is hard to read on some screens if you are using a light colored wallpaper.
Does anyone know if this works with Manila 2.5.19211619?
Thanks in advance.

flip clock fro htc desire

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

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.

Blade themes and apps

Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

Anyone know if its possible to modify the clock position of the lollipop lock screen up to align centered in the smart circles case window?
I actually would like tk change the clock like with 4.0 you had different clocks... The stock on from lollipop is to little
Hi there
I'm searching a method to hide this clock too... But I, actually, don't find anything correct for a D855 running Cloudyg3 2.2, rooted, TWRP Recovery. Is there someone who reach this ??
If I find something, I'll post it here.
Thanks Y'All
