EDIT: An alternative home launcher must be installed to take advantage of the "Activities" option. I have LauncherPro installed.
This is a simple workaround for those of us who have had a problem with the World Clock disappearing from the app drawer...I have attacthed the apk if you can't find it on your system!
First-Verify that Htc Clock is installed by performing a Google search with the search soft key (This is the only way it will work)...

I don't think it's ever been in my app drawer. You get to it by tapping on a widget on the homescreen.
And for your workaround, you need LauncherPro installed. It does not have to be the launcher you are using. The "activities" is a LP feature, not a sense one.
I've only had this phone a couple of weeks but I remember when I first got it there was a shortcut in the app drawer....however, a few days later i recieved and OTA so maybe that's why it disappeared. Either way, this may help someone find a quicker way to get up for work in the mornings
Please read the second part of my post. You left something out of your instructions.
oops....your are very correct. forgot all about that part
This method does not work for me (the apk fails to instal). Does the phone have to be rooted?
I messed up again. Wrong apk. Bear with me, I'm still learning. Lol
I'm away from my computer for the nxt couple of days, send me a pm and I'll email you my old desk clock to use untill I can post the correct apk.
In the meantime you can always access deskclock by tapping the time on clock widget

This is the weather app and beautiful widget extracted from the acer liquid rom dump.

thx...gonna check it out
can you post up some screenshots of these widgets.
thanks
Where do you set your location? It's nice weather in Washington, but what do I care?
Widget looks 4x1, but its really 4x4.
Unable to change from Wash, pressing menu from the settings screen only brings up 'about'
Even if I could correct the city, the 4x4 is annoying.
same here..couldnt change location

Not sure why you guys are not able to change the location. The only thing I did was remove the widget and then re add it. I then was prompted to insert my location. Still, I doubt I will use it since I lose space on my screen.
Thanks for the tip that I should have tried anyway as I was about to also post the same issue. But now I have to find out how to add my location as it is in not in the index. Anyone know how to add city to the index?
Does it not have a search box above the list of locations? That's how I had to do mine.
obviously it does but my city is not in the index
Wow, that is very odd. Where I am currently staying is pretty much the land of the forgotten (middle of the desert) and I was still able to pull up info by zip code.
To change the location, you'll have to first remove the widget from screen then re-add it. At the re-adding, it'll ask you for the location.
You might have to do this for more than once in order to activate its setup screen.
Tested, removed and added again Beautiful widget
How can I remove a weather widget from my screem??
thanks
I ran this on my Droid Incredible and it worked. I love the look of the widget but the damn thing is off by 23 degrees.
so far i'm loving this rom, working a lot better than the last rom i tried. something i noticed, was same on warm 2.2, the android calender widget is unreadable for me. on warm 2.3 the font is white with white background. i've tried new fonts, no help. anyone know how i can fix this? please and thank you
Just seeing if I'm looking at the proper widget, is it either of these two? Cuz I use HTC's widget.

yes, the one on the right
Gotcha, the issue is actually the widget itself. Since there's only been one release and active development is non-existent, bugs were left to us to find. I believe you'd have to edit the widget apk to display text in a different font. Unfortunately, I have no experience editing files so I can't walk you through it.
Edit: all I can do is offer up alternatives, line using the HTC widget (the 4x1 horizontal one) or trying a different app entirely like the superb "Jorte Calendar" which has a TON of customizations. It's available in the market.
i wanna thank you for your response, that calender seems to be doin what i want. got another question i hope someone might be able to help with. still on warm 2.3, all of a sudden the contact pix in the stock messaging app are gone. everywhere else they seem fine, just in messaging they disappeared. anyone else run into this? thoughts on how to fix?
i thought maybe another app caused it so i reflashed but after a day or so, same thing happened.
Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a flashable mod that display the full date on the statusbar, next to the clock.
Some ROMs allow you to display the day of the week (FRI, SAT), but I'm looking for the full date or at the very least the day of the month.
Kindly take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491887
Here the author explains how to do it yourself, but frankly that's way above my abilities. Besides, it seems to work only for AOKP roms, and I'm using one that's AOSP-based.
If any of you feel you have some free time and can help me, ideally by making a flashable mod that does the above, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Best regards.
You could always use uccw and make it yourself you just need to have a launcher that hides your status bar....that what I did

I couldn't part with my status bar and sometimes I need to know what time and date it is while inside an app, that's why putting it next to my clock would be perfect.
You still will see it there when your in a app

Here is a little holiday weekend gift for everyone.
Since we don't yet have a built-in custom power menu, here is a 6 way power menu
which can be used to replace the stock built-in power button completely so we can
reboot download mode, recovery mode, power down, soft reboot and screen off
without the need of the usual 3 finger salute. It even looks like it's part of the firmware.
You can add this power menu to your home screens. (this is not a widget)
Here is the download link for it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347809104
Install it like any other apk... Requires root access.
Here is a screen shot of what it looks like:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

What launcher are you using for those icons?

The icons works with most 3rd party launchers like Next Launcher 3D,
Nova, ADW, Action, Smart and Go Launcher.
However it will NOT work with the stock touchwiz launcher at all.
Personally I like the Next Launcher 3D the best.
You need to get the "Cobalt Icon Pack from the playstore to get it working.
Here is the direct link for the "Cobalt" icon pack at the playstore in case you
want to check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.icons.cobalt
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Hi, I have a rooted S20+ and I wanted to hide some apps from the app drawer, since I already have them in my home screen and I see no sense in having two shortcuts to them. Also, this would "clean" the app drawer a bit.
The things is, I can't hide them. If I use the "hide app" option on settings, it will go away from the home scree too. I want a wayto display them in home screen only. Also, even when an app is hidden, it will still appear if you search for its name in the search bar... Some apps I want completely hidden, from app drawer,homescreen and search. While others I want only in homescreen or only in app drawer. Is this possible to do or I will have to use another launcher?
I used to use Lightning Launcher in my previous phone, but I wanted to use Samsung OoneUI native launcher, since it's native, cleaner and easier to edit.
You can't hide app and keep it's shortcut on home screen same time, sry!

Samsung's stock launcher is based on the same aosp launcher on which xperia is (com.android.launcher3 - well modified, I gotta say).
Stay tuned (no eta)!
Ok, thanks anyway. I am using the Lightning Launcher again, for now. It's a very good launcher anyway.
