============
dont call me a windows fanboy, but I really wanted this windows widget on my phone. I have the same clock on my wall. Something to work with any clock app... I like alarmclock Xtreme.
EDIT: original .pngs attached
EDIT 2 : V1 of neon clock posted (thanks to Kaik541)
EDIT 3 : V2 attached "alarmclock xtreme with modded clock" and "deskclockgoogle" versions (below) post 11 for details
EDIT 4 : V3 (final??) attached. stand alone 1x1 clock. MicroNeonClockWidget (below) post 12 for details.
**TO DO: *****HELP NEEDED
- find artist/programmer to change neon "ring" into battery meter...
- add second hand.
View attachment 533210
EDIT: added original .png images. shouldnt be hard from here..
Unfortunately, the source images are pretty tiny (130 px by 130 px) and upscaling them creates an obnoxiously blurry image so I have included here a widget that will work (though looks a bit tiny). Push the apk to /system/app (it may work in /data/app, didn't test though) and add the widget like any other
note: the above image was created with a DPI setting of 200 instead of the standard DPI of 240, may look a bit different on your screen. also, the widget in this apk does not use a seconds hand, that's why there isn't one shown.
thanks man actually that will work perfect see screenshot of where i put it...
but i think you forgot to attach the file, thank you again

then this may not actually be all that helpful to you. I plugged it into the deskclockgoogle.apk which makes it take a 2x2 square even if the actual image isn't that big and I'm unsure of how to change it
either way, thank you.

no problem, just hit me that you could, of course, be using a launcher that supports resizing widgets dynamically (launcherpro plus/adw) and it wouldn't matter, so good luck with it, hope it fits your needs.
actually using launcherpro plus i was able to re-size the widget and it didnt scale the image, so i have 1x1 perfect.
EDIT: gotta love timing...
is there any way to Untie it to alarm? so i can use it with alarmclockextreme?

hmm, to be honest I have no experience with modifying market apps. I know that standard taking apart and putting back together doesn't work because it breaks the key signing. there are probably some guides on how to resign the application properly, but for now it is beyond my grasp, sorry =/

we're all learning, thats what we're here for.
thanks again
here is a version of the free alarm clock xtreme available on the market with the above neon clock as the analog clock. remove any version installed from the market before attempting to install this and then install like any normal apk.
ok, I think I finally have something that could suit anyone's needs. Here is a widget that is permanently 1x1 (which can be scaled up with a launcher that resizes, but it looks best at this size given the resolution of the PNG's anyway, so it'd be kind of pointless). This is a modded version of this app:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/micro-clock-widget-1x1/factory.widgets.Micro available for free on the market. I have changed the name so they can be installed side by side in case you wanted multiple clocks. Unfortunately, clicking it doesn't open anything, so it's just a standalone 1x1 widget analog clock. Install like any other standard apk.
edit: wow I spent too much time on this, but now I know how to edit market apps yay learning experiences.
a few hours in a single night is fast for learning, it would have taken me at least 2 or 3 days to get there. i dont even have the sdk installed.
your work is really appreciated.
just thought of a great final feature, but it is out of the scope for me and Kaik541,
need to find an artist/programmer to convert the neon ring into a battery meter.
bump... due to |OP| update...
Wow...very nice Kaik. Great work.

Hi Guys,
Wow, not long after I upgraded my Galaxy S to 2.3.3 and totally happy with the increased performance, my phone plan came due for renewal and I secured a Galaxy S2. Two great phones.
But I don't seem to be able to find the Daily Briefing or the really neat "Disc View" in the music section on the S2. Am I pathetic at finding things or are they missing?? If missing, why would Samsung remove the great animation of the Disc View, I really liked that feature.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Daily briefing look under Samsung apps for an update.
Not a clue what disc view is .
jje
ok, I have probably called it by an incorrect name. Sorry 'bout that. What I am referring to is the animation of the albums turning into LP's with the album art on the face, when you turn into landscape mode. You can then thumb thru the cd icons and tap-select the one you want. It then rolls to the left of screen and the song list appears to the right. Have you seen this on the Galaxy S?? What is that feature called??
also... I have checked the Samsung apps and no mention there of Daily Briefing... Did you find it there?? Cause I can't spot it.

You need to use root explorer (or another explorer with root access) and delete the existing Music2.apk and then put this one in it's place (you can also just overwrite it).
Experiencing fore close issues when trying to sort by songs and when trying to open a specific album to see the contents. Might have to ditch this with these issues.
Okey thank you.
I, too had constant FC's
Renamed old Music2.apk to Music2.apk.bak, dropped the other file in there, rebooted and it seemed to see all my music. I actually like the *old* way of looking at the thumbnails and scrolling up/down. The new one would only go sideways and not put nearly the same amount of info on the screen so took substantially longer to get to music...And no options to change what you see on screen.
The moment I tried to play anything, sort anything or actually try to use the app, FC's every time.
...the moral of the story is, don't just overwrite the old app! I went in, deleted the new on, renamed the old one and was re-up and running in about 10 minutes...
P.S. Looked up a few other people having issues and a few said they solved the FC issues by going into Settings/applications and flushing the data on the app Right After installation / reboot.
I may try again...after I hear word of others making the attempt and getting better success than I had.
Good luck out there!
My english not enough for fix this ) but thank you for help
Thanks

I can't see to find the lolocation of the stock wallpapers. I ask because I'm having a lot of trouble getting any wallpaper to fit even when sized correctly. But if I simple choose the wallpapers that came with it, the tab never forces me to use tthat stupid template. I assume if I dropped my picture I want into the stock wallpaper location I will be able to set it jjust as eeasily.
probably not much help but the default lockscreen wallpaper is in system/framework/framework-res/res/mdpi
Some of the wallpapers may be stored within the launcher apk as well. You could pull it off and unzip it to check out the folder/file structure.
Not as easy as I had hoped...
its so easy if u have root explorer, as milenko said its in the launcher apk.
Can someone give me a little guidance here?
I found the .apk with root explorer, but now what? Do I extract it, put the new wallpaper in it and overwrite the stock .apk with the new one? I was hoping it'd be more of a drag-drop situation.

I had the same problem. Here is what I did, but this might not work on Stock ROM (odexed files):
Get the framework-res.apk from the ROM you use.
Open the framework-res.apk with 7ZIP (do not uncompress it, just open it with 7ZIP)
Change default_wallpaper.png in res/drawable-xlarge-nodpi
Change default_wallpaper.png in res/drawable-nodpi
Change defaultlockscreenwallpaper.jpg in res/drawbale-mdpi if you want a different lock screen wallpaper as well.
Close 7ZIP
Flash the ROM with the changed framework-res.apk, or push it with ADB to the tablet to system/framework.
I changed to different file size and picture size and had no problems.
oh my what a lot of steps involved. i will just stick with the stock one then.
Hi, I got Galaxy S3 after four years of using iOS. I really like the phone, SD card slot, and fantastic screen but I'm missing few features. I am sure that with open'ness of Android, someone has already made these things.
1. Music Player - when I scroll the album list, album covers seem to load on scroll, instead of being cached somewhere and appearing immediately - can it be fixed? Or maybe there is a different music player that is better?
2. I have used Easy Phone Sync to sync S3 with iTunes, but some albums got split into several albums - is there any way to edit tags of songs that are on S3 using Kies?
3. When I double click home button on a locked iphone, an iPod menu comes up, allowing me quick switching of songs - anything similar on android?
4. When syncing with iPhone backup, I copied over all of the photos, in the gallery they got split into two folders, 100APPLE and 101APPLE, is it possible to somhow combine them? I can't see folders with photos when I access the phone through My Computer
5. Any other good tips for a newcomer?

Which music app are you using?
For the quick control there is none unless you exit out the app, drag notification down and you will see some quick controls depending on app
I would not be able to tell you much about the albums, hasn't happen with me before
Download es explorer and move the pictures on your phone (kind of like you would on your pc/mac)
Have some patient you were open enough to buy a new device so make sure you try as much as you can before those 14 days, read a lot in the forums you will learn a lot

I read the OP and I was hesitant to reply - the questions were kind of naive and seemed almost troll like -
Album covers load on scroll - maybe standard android apps can't even do it. The loading of covers is fast enough not to bother me, but that's just me, being used to android lagginess on a flagship phone.
Itunes... Well, welcome here in the slavery free zone. If you can burn Itunes, please do so. Otherwise, please use some playstore app to do it for you.
There are a number of apps and utils that modify default android behavior. I wouldn't be surprised if you could set it up to call your mother in law every time the power button was pressed.
You can copy/paste/delete and do any file operations with android files - you have a full featured file system, just install an app like ES File Explorer.
poweramp is good for music. As for the merging of folders, do it manually by connecting a usb to your phone and manage it on your computer.

There is a lot music apps out there I use play music from Google to have cloud music, and usually power amp is my favorite one, the one thing coming from iOS to android is the yes android you can modify more but you need more time, watch videos on YouTube, learn about what limitations it could have, I think is funny I switch back to android back in May and I haven't used an iphone for 2 months yesterday my wife told me to text something while #he was driving and I felt the screen so small, it was hard to type at first lol
Stock keyboard sucks try ics keyboard is free

And if you really feel like typing is worth $2-3 you can buy Swiftkey 3 best keyboard so far IMO

Most definitely try SwiftKey out... A few tips if you do.... go into settings and put when double tap space just insert space. And I also lower the time to longpress (access the secondary buttons like numbers and symbols) to like 200 - 250 milliseconds makes things much faster.

Welcome to the family! I to came to android from ios... about a year and a half ago though. Android can seem a bit foreign at first but research and ask questions and before you know it, you will wonder why it took you so long to switch. This much I will say, apple is set up as they want it to be and is usually better out of the box... however, with a little fine tuning your android will run circles around any iPhone. These can do so much more than what you can imagine, keep up with it and you will not be disappointed.
Power amp is a sweet music player btw.
I prefer Skype to swift key but I think that's a matter of taste.
Es explorer is great... also check out root explorer if you ever get root.

Ok this was a productive day ^^ I have installed:
QuickPic: instead of the stock Gallery app. Drawback is that it does not show picasa web albums, but there are advantages: smoother operation, can switch files via swiping while zoomed in, and can sort files by filename.
Poweramp: I like it a lot more than the stock music app, looks much better, and songs are put together into albums, wheras the stock app had problems with albums consisting of songs by different artists.
ES File Explorer: Something like iFile on the jailbroken iPhone, useful
I also found the pictures folder, it's fine now
Also: ordering installs of apps to my phone via internet browser: awesome
I have still one problem: in the Messagess app, after importing messages from the iPhone backup, every message is repeated twice, and they are put in the opposite sides - i.e. messages I have received appear as sent by me. Anyone knows how to remove messages only and then sync messages only?
I can see you guys talking about keyboard apps - I thought something like swype is already installed?
Number 1 download poweramp so worth $5
Number 2 im not quite sure about any backup apps i use dropbox
Number 3 poweramp has a player in the drop down bar so unlock phone slide it down oh and poweramp also has a lockscreen player as well

I really like SwiftKey 3. Used it for a long time now. It actually learns what you type and customizes the predictions. For example, if you type everyday "Whats for dinner tonight?" after a while as soon as you type W the word Whats is going to come up. After the it's automatically going to suggest the next word is "for" without typing anything.
Look into lock screen music controls and which apps offer it. On AOKP ROM there are controls built in. While listening to music with the screen off you can long press the volume buttons to go to the previous or next track. Short presses on the volume raises and lowers the volume. Long pressing the power button SHOULD also pause the track. Long pressing it again should resume the track.
The biggest thing on Android to remember is that everything can be customized. Don't like the stock text message app? Install a different one. Different icons? Get new ones.
Luckily you came from a jailbroken iPhone which I can imagine helps a lot.
Oh...and you can also uninstall programs from the online Play Store now. Makes it awesome after you install a new ROM which is something else you will eventually get into.
Oh and don't forget you can upload up to 20000 to Google Music that you can access anywhere from any browser. You can also stream straight to your phone and any other Android device. I think I have almost all of my music uploaded and I don't think I'm even halfway to 20,000 songs.
And the free 5GB of storage space that Google offers with Google Drive.

You actually don't even need to unlock the phone. You can access the notification bar straight from the lockscreen.
you can also try doubletwist player which gives you a more ipod/iPhone experience and can also sync with itunes and use air sync
