Is it possible to change the colour of digital clock?

Hi, just as on screenshot. My digital clock font is white and it's hard to read on a silver panel. Is there a way to change it to black or any other colour?
PS:
1. I'm from Poland and have a polish locale on my G1 (just for your information in case someone asks)
2. I'm not interested in changing the theme to make it readable
Thanks in advance for any answer.

looks like you applied a theme that changed it to white, should be black. There should be a default theme in the theme section of this site. Make sure its compatible with your version of firmware first. Then you can flash it just like any other update.

I flashed it. That is the default template I downloaded it along with the Dudes utils and flashed it, because I disliked that blue stock theme. And this started right after flashing the default android template.

Up. I really need help. I tried reflashing the original template - nothing.. Ofcourse I can use analog clock, but I like that digital one, too.

The problem is definitely a theme you have flashed in the past. If you flashed a theme before you should be fine flashing the default theme again. If you are using JesusFreke build or Haykuro or The Dude or whatever you should just redownload that update.zip (all 35+ MB) and reflash your phone. If you flash what you already have you should not need to wipe and you should get your black clock back. Alternatively, just upgrade to JFv1.5ADP or the newest build of your choice.
And I think for clock colors you have black, white and red as options but they all require what got you to this point to begin with.

Oh no, I think I don't wanna go through all of this again.
So what you mean is that if I have a Dudes 1.1a full and I reflash it one more time - I can do it without wiping and I won't loose anything I have on the phone right now? (and I have 'lot', I have my g1 for about 1.5 week and already rooted, apps on sd, dalvik on sd, market enabled etc, new radio, latinIME etc.) I just want to be sure, as my english isn't perfect (altough I'm learning it for a couple of years by myself [I only had german in school and now I study it at university]).
Thanks for replies.

You've got it, just download The Dudes again and reflash it and you should be all done without a wipe. But you should learn how to backup your phone with nandroid in the recovery screen and how to use adb to backup your apps and dalvik cache to your computer.
This is a thread I had that talks about similar things, I think all the commands to backup your apps and then push them back to your phone are there.

Go from 1 custom theme to another

I've read and found that we need to wipe and reflash the rom first then apply another theme. So I wonder why we can't just go directly from one custom theme to another ???
I have a rooted MT3G with cm 4.0.4 rom, cyanogen 1.4 recovery, and a Hero theme. I've also downloaded a few other themes (for cm 4.0.4 of course) and I'd like to know if I could just copy those themes to the root of my sd card and boot in recovery mode and Alt+A to flash each rom to try to see which I like best? ...
OR I would have to reflash cm 4.0.4 rom first then apply a theme and follow this 2-step procedure for each theme I wanna try?
thanks in advance, your help is very appreciated.

I would also like to know. I am so tired of wiping and having to reinstall everything when something goes wrong when flashing other themes.

The easiest way I think to test themes is to create a stock 4.0.4 nandorid backup, then flash the theme you want to try. After that if you want to try another, restore the backup and flash again with another theme.
Someone else might say switch rom might work better, but I don't have any experience with that tool yet.

By what you said "having to reinstall everything..." I assumed that you meant you had to reinstall all your programs and apps and stuff, right? If so, you don't have to face that hassle if you had apps2sd. That's what I have with the cm 4.0.4 rom, when something does go wrong with that theme, I only have to wipe, reflash the rom, then apply theme. That's still a 3-step procedure vs only one step of flashing the theme if we're able to do that. So get a rom with apps2sd or install apps2sd with your current rom, and you won't have to resinstall every single app everytime.
I've wiped the phones like a million times already lol-to test different roms, if I had to resinstall every app every time I wiped, I'd have gone crazy by now.

Thanks, I really didn't even realize being an advantage for having apps2sd. I need to install it, but being somewhat of a noob, every time I look at partitioning my sd I get so overwhelmed that I abort in fear that I would do something to mess up my sd or phone.

I'm a newbie in this android world as well and I'm a bussiness major who knows nothing about programming and C language. I was just like you the first time I take the look at the instructions to partition the card, but it's quite simple once you get the hang of it. Just follow every step and read every step and do it slowly, and you'll be fine. It took me about 25 mins the first time I partitioned a card, and it went down to less than 10 mins the second time. give it a try, you'll do fine.

I was wondering this earlier... so ijust tried it, and it works, there is no need to wipe, i have flashed three diff themes running cyan 4.1.11.1 and no problem so far, so just try it, at worst, it will hang and you wipe then flash as normal lol

no need to wipe if going between themes. just always make a backup first in case the theme you use has bugs in it. you can just flash the rom again, no need to wipe. or just flash the default theme template.
next, just make sure you choose the right theme for your rom. for example do not do 4.0.4 theme on a 4.11.1 rom.
for switching between themes, the best thing to do is revert to the default theme first, then apply the updated theme. the reason is, each theme modify different files, it's not always the same. so if you apply a new theme on top of and old custom them, you may have weird theme problems as some aspects of the old theme may show up on the new theme haha.

the easiest thing to do, since most themes now contain stericsons lockscreen and some have htc music, is to reflash the rom, then flash the theme. that is what i always do.
the reason you need to flash the rom or theme template first is that say theme1 has x.apk themed but theme2 doesn't have x.apk themed and leaves x.apk out of their package altogether, then when you flash theme2 over theme1 the themed version of x.apk from theme1 will still show up in theme2. now in some areas this may not be a problem, but that also applies to anything that is in theme1 and not in theme2, so it is best to flash the theme template (or the rom if you are coming from stericson's lockscreen to a the old lockscreen (which humorously enough is still by stericson) so that it will overwrite all of the new lockscreen files).

That is very true, i always do a backup just in case, but this is an extra step that does not require much more, so i will do this too. thanks for the info (i want a scooty puff sr. lol )

Hero wont boot after ROM change :/

Hi,
I finally got around to rooting and changing ROMs on my Hero after I read about the SimpleOneClick Method. So i did that to root the Hero. After that, I read this guide to changing ROMs
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/12/ho...droid-phone-after-any-one-click-root-methods/
The root was successful, the ROM install was successful... but after restarting my device after the ROM was installed i get a Black screen and then the white HTC Quiet Simply Brilliant screen comes up, it only shows the HTC logo an the the Q appears and it freezes This just loops forever... what went wrong? Can I fix this?

You didn't wipe the data before flashing the .zip
Try again from recovery (home + power) and it should work.

sir, I thank thee
Backup worked, ROM install still doesnt Any 2.2 ROM you recommend? Preferably with SenseUI

LOL 2.2 and sense - not for a while mate!
Forget sense and use Froyo with Launcher Pro & Beautiful Widgets - will never turn back.

alright then, wadaya recommend for a ROM?

Getting hang-ups on boot animation when I flash theme's

Hi,
Asked this question earlier in the development forum. I think it was str355 and Yorzua who tried to help me out, but to no joy.
I'm looking at the right theme's, I've got CM7 RC4, with the radio in my sig, but I can't flash theme's with getting hang-aps on the boot animation. Regardless of theme, circle mods etc, it hangs and I have to battery pull because it won't respond.
I'm using bravo-boot to partition the tables. Regardless of which way round, full-wipe, bravo boot and backup, all I get are hang ups.
What is causing this? How can flash theme's and make them work?
Any replies, appreciated.

download the attached test theme for CM7 RC4 (just a battery change using cm7 rc4 framework from UOT).
- boot into android at least once
- reboot into recovery
- flash the test.zip
- reboot
does this file also make your phone bootloop?

Yeah, flashed that and I get hangup on 'Why so serious' s-off picture.

does it boot without your SD card in the phone after you've flashed that test theme? rule out any SD card problems (fat, ext etc..)
if that doesnt make any difference i'd do this:-
- flash whatever partition table you're going to use
- flash a permanent recovery (rule out your old recovery)
- wipe everything
- install the latest CM 7-final rom (dont make any changes, no scripts etc..)
- nandroid backup
- try installing a theme made for CM7-final
Edit: noticed in the s-off thread people are having this problem. Flashing themes that worked before s-off don't work after, might be worth looking there if it still doesn't work

Hey guys, i really need help here

I'm currently using the wildfire. I rooted it and installed rom manager.
I did backup my rom (CWRv3.2.0) and installed the wildpuzzle rom (Newest one).
But i think forgot to wipe off the data. After installing the rom, it booted fine but it says that my phone memory was low.
I waited for a very long time but it does not respond. Hence, i thought something was wrong and tried to go to cwr and did a factory reset.
But now it gives me a black screen after the htc logo.
And after 10 to20 minutes and it still does not respond. I went back and did a restore(before the wildpuzzle rom I've installed)and it came out that my phone cannot boot and stucked in a loop. (after 2 turns it went back to cwr)
I'm scared that i might bricked my phone.
Help please! Much appreciated!

When you do a Factory Reset in Clockworkmod, you need to flash a ROM again. Also, if you read the thread completely, WildPuzzle 2.3.2 does NOT work. It was released untested by danne (as he stated), and, various tests by users show it didnt boot.
EDIT: And if you are talking about Android 2.2 Sense ROM's, you will need to flash it using Clockworkmod 2.x. They are not supported on 3.x

So do i have to flash a new rom like CyanogenMod ? Sorry, I'm a complete noob at these. Edit: Its the Wildpuzzle 2.2 froyo v0.8 rom.

Yeah flash the CyanogenMod 7 ROM. But before you install this ROM please make sure to Wipe the data, Clear cache partition and also to clear dalvik cache and then proceed to install the CM7 ROM

Yes! Thanks a lot! Flashed Cm7 Nightly Builds 2.3.4. Running perfectly
EDIT: Wifi does not connect lol, stucked on locating ip address.
