I really miss the Blur Desk Clock when I put my phone in my desk dock. Does anyone have an installable .zip or even an .apk (with procedures) that will work? I tried installing the .apk and changing the permissions myself, but I couldn't get it to work properly.

What ROM are you using? depends on whether or not the rom developer has written in the ability to add blur components to his work.

I'm running the same thing as you - Liberty with a Serenity theme. Starting to realize how hard it is to add Blur to a Blurless ROM. I thought I could just add the .apk, fix the permissions and be good to go. Still trying to figure it all out.
I added back in these files from the stock ROM
/system/framework/blur-res.apk
/system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
/system/app/Dock.apk
Then you will want to remove /system/app/DeskClock.apk
I also added back in /system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk form the Moto alarm clock as well
You may also need to do this edit to make the dock work
Code:
adb pull /data/system/packages.xml packages.xml
Find
<package name="com.motorola.dlauncher" codePath="/system/app/Dock.apk" flags="1" ts="1288859615000" version="8" userId="10057">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="1" />
</sigs>
</package>
change the <cert index="1" /> to <cert index="0" />
adb push packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
adb reboot

Zanix,
Thanks for the details! Looking forward to trying this, however, I can't find the XML string in the packages.xml file:
<package name="com.motorola.dlauncher" codePath="/system/app/Dock.apk" flags="1" ts="1288859615000" version="8" userId="10057">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="1" />
</sigs>
</package>
I'm running the Liberty ROM. Is it possible this was deleted by the developer? If so, am I out of luck?
It could have been deleted or just not added yet
Have you docked your phone on the media dock yet?

Yes. It just shows the AOSP dock clock.
I prefer alarm clock plusv2. Has a better desktop mode to it and gives you all the same alarm clock functionality.

I don't care much for how the blur dock looks, and I would use the Android default if it could link to the blur alarm when you press the clock icon
I'm just in love with the blur alarm clock
They way you have to swipe from the left side of the screen to the right at the very bottom to dismiss the alarm is why I like it, it keeps me from sleeping too long
I also really liked GAlarm when I had a Windows Mobile phone
I hear it's just been ported over to Android so I may give that a try

I use the math problems to dismiss. Then I not only make sure I wake up, but I can also wake up feeling either accomplished or like an idiot for taking 5 tries to solve it.

This was taken from Fission ROM, so I hope it's OK that I post this. I take no credit whatsoever.
Reboot Recovery
Install Zip from SDCARD
Select "Dock_Moto.zip"
Reboot

I'm on travel this week. I'll give this a try when I get back! Hope it works. Thanks!
Ok, I just put Liberty 1.0 on my X
I docked my phone first, to make sure the Android dock worked, and enabled the sound since i like it
Then I used the Liberty toolbox to install the Blur Alarm clock, which contains these files
/system/app/BlurAlarmClock.apk
/system/framework/com.motorola.blur.library.utilities.jar
And then I copied over the Motorola "Dock.apk" to /system/app/
Made sure the permissions where correct
Rebooted, just to be sure
Then docked the phone and the Moto dock worked

Did you have to delete DeskClock.apk (the AOSP dock)? Can you post the Dock.apk? Thanks!
I did delete DeskClock.apk, but you don't have to.
DeskClock is the default alarm program for Android.
Here is the Dock.apk as well as all of the stock apps

Did you need to put the ODEX file on as well?

This did not work for me. My phone recognized the dock, but the docked display wouldn't come on for some reason. Thanks for all the .apks in your link!

This worked perfectly! Not sure why the method listed by Zanix didn't work, though! Thanks SolZer!

I forgot that Fission had an recovery zip for that
Basically I want to be on home screen 1 and click a shortcut that will take me to homescreen 2 and vise versa.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
you can do it with LauncherPro Plus...
Example:
Code:
<LPShortcut sdkVersion="1"
label="Screen 1"
action="android.intent.action.MAIN"
package="com.fede.launcher"
class="com.fede.launcher.Launcher"
>
<Extra type="integer" name="com.fede.launcher.extra.SCREEN" value="1" />
</LPShortcut>
Create a new txt document on the computer called screen1.lps and open with notepad, and copy that code into the new document.
Then I think you need to copy that lps file to /sdcard/lpshortcuts/ (create the dir if you need)
The above is just an example though....
So it is not possible to do this in ADW or ADW EX?
not sure....never really tried either ADW or ADW Ex
Thanks very much for the info. Unfortunately after using LPP for several months I recently moved everything over to ADW EX to try something new.
I hope I can find similar functionality in ADW Ex.
that code will send you to screen 1 only right? im gona look at this xD
You can do it with ADW and ADW EX.

How can you do it with ADW ex? I dont see any function to write custom shortcuts. I've been looking all over the net to find a way to do it with ADW even using an extra app I can't find a way
Thanks for any advice anyone can give!!

Yes please let us know!
Use Simple Image Wallpaper Free. Works like a charm.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ps.simpleimagewallpaper&feature=search_result
Great,fits perfectly!
Awesome stuff. I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to do the same thing. It seems this one does something similar, just a lot less options?
EDIT: just tested this out and it is perfect. Couldn't be simpler. ALSO there is no UI lag when used with the default Touchwiz Launcher! Usually there was always some lag using Multi Picture live wallpaper with the default launcher.
Hello. What I want to do is to replace Google Now shortcut, but not the one in the App Drawer, but the one which you can pull from your home button. How can this be done?
There are couple of apps which can do the same thing(like Widgets Anywhere and Launch Now), but I can't understand how they do that.
EDIT: Okay, I found the answer. I just have to use android.intent.action.ASSIST.
But can I change the icon? This magnifying glass icon bugs me.
provide metadata
You can provide meta data inside the activity tag as below
<meta-data android:name="com.android.systemui.action_assist_icon"
android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
is there any way like widget or tasker action or nova launcher shortcut to get in call mute toggle ?
-----Edit-----
I got the toggle working in tasker; it is very simple. just need a way to flip the icon now
here is the xml ----
<Task sr="task7">
<cdate>1480835243831</cdate>
<edate>1480835345787</edate>
<id>7</id>
<nme>Mic</nme>
<Action sr="act0" ve="7">
<code>301</code>
<Int sr="arg0" val="2"/>
</Action>
</Task>
