Hi All
I'm wondering if there's a way to animate the flip clock widget for the CDMA Hero. I swear that the Sense UI used to have it animate (at least that's what I remember seeing in the videos) but now it just instantly switches to the next number.
AFAIK 'flipping' animation of the HTC clock widget was removed due to it being a major contributing factor to the lag in Sense UI...

No, it was just perceived to be. On the old firmware, if you hadn't used the phone for sometime, or it was otherwise engaged on a task, when you went back to the screen with the clock widget you would see the old time and it would play an animated flip to the new time.
With the new firmware, you'll often see the old time, but now instead of using the animated flip, it just switches to the new time.
Personally, I rather liked the animated flip catch up.
Regards,
Dave

In this case I don't really see the difference
With the flip, returning to the home screen and swiping while the flip animation was still going, or had just finished, there was noticeable lag before the swipe animation started.
Without the flip, no laggy swipe...
This was perceived with my eyes, and i'm struggling to think what other aspect of my perception held the truth. Maybe I should've tried licking the screen?

Without the flip.... but with the new ROM. I think you will find that it is mostly the other performance enhancements included in the new ROM that were responsible for the reduction in lag, and not the removal of the clock flip animation.

Flip was removed on the new ROMs for performance issues as other people have said.
However, the flip/animation is still available on some of the other clock widget styles. If you use one of the standard clock face type styles for the HTC Clock, these do have the clock handles spin round to the current time when you go back to the home screen. The flip was only changed on the defualt 'Digital' clock style I believe

Does it bother anyone else that whenever you switch back to the home screen, the clocks reset the hands and do the little animations to spin to the correct location? The flip clock does it like it used to in TF3D too, the numbers flip over until they catch up. It seems such a waste of time and cpu cycles. I've tried the default Android clock and it is much calmer, it is always at the correct time regardless of whether you switch back or not. The down side is it isn't as attractive and doesn't take you to the clock app when you press on it.
Anyone else annoyed by this?
Indeed I find it a little annoying...not tried the different clock....
one question, are you able to change the type of clock on your profile?
I seem to be only be able to select different front clocks under different profiles (Scenes) so you are stuck with that clock for that scene?

You can just remove it, then add an HTC Widget and select 1 of 12 clocks (think its 12)

Genuie!!!!! Thanks dude!!!
I also found that when I changed my clock to the small one (so it still fits in the same space on the home screen), my Hero became much more responsive. It still adjusts the time with an animation every time I go to the home screen, but it seems way better. Others have suggested removing the People widget, but for me it was just a change of the clock.
Bugs the hell out of me, so much so I had to remove it.
Hope the new update fixes this problem.

I like seeing the clock flip over! I'm sure it does it by design too, it's not a fault/bug.

It is a fault, the clock widgets can't store the time. So everytime you enter the idle screen it updates the clock.

I don't believe it's a fault either, judging by the way it is animated. It is just designed not to update whilst not visible.

Most if not all of the HTC clock widgets do the animation.
However, on the leaked video of the new speedier ROM, I notice the clock never updates like that, even though it is the big one with weather combined. It just changes immediately, so maybe that is part of the speed up...
i use the smallest one, digital, but not a flip. number 5 i think it is.
yes, if you look closely you can see it update when you go back to the homescreen, but it is so fast, most of the time i don't notice it, and i'm certainly not gonna sit there trying to see it happen, cos it's really not that important to me...
Maybe they added a setting to enable / disable clock animation ?
Hope so as I quite like it.
On the CDMA Hero there seems to be a bug... IN the Clock app, home location and current location show the correct time but most HTC clock widgets insist on displaying the GMT time. What's up with this?
Does anyone else clock have a strange glitch where by, when you first turn the screen on and unlock it. The clock reads 62 mins slow then flips to the correct time immediately.
My friend pointed it out to me. I never noticed to be honest but he has a Hero and because it's quite a lot of a slower machine it is really noticeable.
Maybe it's just a 'feature' to make you realise that the clock numbers have a nice animated flip
Yeah I have it also. I assumed it was the HTC developers showing off their animations.
Nothing to worry I thought

Spot on. It's meant to be eye candy.
There is a way remove this feature: [MOD] Disable 01:02 clock flip in Manila 2.1 and 2.5
will it be cool to have an animated lock screen showing current Stock Ticker.
or sports scores, news headlines etc.
or is it possible in the home screen?
inspiration: windows 95 scrolling marquee screensaver .....
If not, if someone creates that will be awesome and I bet he will be rich soon.
iphone doesn't have it yet, can WM beat it.
I use s2u2 and added the developers clocks...one of them is the stock flip clock.
Looks good and works great.

He is looking for stock quotes from the NYSE (or other stock exchange).
Hello desire community,
I just though of an idea. I like the look of the lock screen on sense, but i miss the option to have two sliders (one to unlock, one to silence). What is someone could build a slider that can slide up and down, plus has a slider point in the middle that can slide either left or right. I have attached an example but I am not a good artist so I hope you can understand what it means.
+1, that would be neat
I thought so to but:
1) I don't know how to program that
2) I can't even draw it very well
Like WidgetLocker, perhaps?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
Moved to themes and apps
I have widget locker. I was thinking like the rotory slider but with one "slider" in the middle and four directions to slide.
This is what he wants except the places where it fades he wants it to rotate, and i agree would be cool.
Edit: this as in dragging up, and down, and rotationg side to side, would give it 4 ways to move instead of just one, and would take full effect of the possibilities of the HTC design...
Exactly I could imagine using up for dailer, down unlock, left mms, and right ringer. If it is in widgetlocker they could be customized
That's a really nice idea, i'd love to see such a feature.
Nice idea but I can imagine the amount of unwanted actions in pocket etc.

None because you would have to touch the middlepoint of the slider to make it work and thats veeeery unlikely....
a better example would be Galaxy S Lockscreen i think
this style is what i like to have

Search widget locker on market. It has a vanilla lockscreen
anybody knows how to bring back icons without frame feature for pie on galaxy s9,s9+ or note 9 without launcher? These circle icons with white background are driving me crazy
White Frames and OneUI Icons in general

Totally agree. What's even worse is if you have CONTACTS icons on your home screen (e.g. using contact shortcut widget). They all get a white frame, when the contact pictures were already round framed. The contact faces now get shrunk to a minimum, and they look small, sad and terrible in the frame.
**** What were they thinking? ****
The option to remove the frame has been dropped from the UI. The only option is to load a custom icons set from Themes... I did that and it sort of fixes the issue. Only problem then is I don't really like any of the icons set I've seen in half hour (can't spend more time on this), and after switching icons I now see Icon badges don't show when they should.
Pretty mad altogether. Why, oh why must Samsung always do something to spoil an otherwise very good update?
Also (off topic, but I need screaming about this...) - In my entirely personal opinion, the new PIE icons are ***** to begin with. They have nothing to do with the style of the device and are just goofy. I wasn't a particular fan of the OREO icons, but, in the end, they were WAY better for this device than the new ones.
