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 )

[Mod][28th July] Percentage Battery Mod for deodexed ROM

This mod requires deodexed ROM so currently only made for SamSet.. If you have a deodexed ROM and need my assistant, please let me know
Strongly suggest you use ROM Manager by Clockworkmod to backup your ROM before doing anything
Thanks to brut.all, judison, Fightspit and setenza01 for this nice looking ROM
Instructions:
1) Download and install ROM
2) Use my zip as update.zip and flash in recovery
Download
For SamSet v1.6 ROM
Custom CSC for Singapore network users see here

This doesn't work. Applied the update fine, but when rebooted, black screen with a bunch of FC's. Had to restore. Was running ROM Samset 1.6 as recommended.

Did u use stock recovery or rom manager to flash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

First used rom manager and nothing happened. Then used stock recovery, applied, and when booted, got the FC's. I could see the percentage in the battery, but that's about it. The FC's would not let me do anything else. Any suggestions?

hmm.. i've tried it again and it works on mine. only difference is im using clockworkmod to flash (remember to mount /system first)
anyway, i've resigned so download again..

Just installed your Mod. Works fine on my Galaxy S.
Thanks a lot !

Thanks, nice work. I have searched such a mod.

most likely not, jp2 is development firmware, i will make one but will not support it since i wont be using jp2 as my daily rom

installed, it works~ =)

does it look good?
the sceenie looks like the numbers are blurry ...
anyway to go back to stock samset battery if i dont like this one?

Could you make an update out of the images i have linked? it's a circle battery with % in it. also the charging got a few more images.
I can get the images into framework-res.apk with no problem but the problem i'm having is modding the two battery xml files and the packing the apk again to get it to work

i've already tried this:

as it does not quite match the theme, i modded samset battery to fit the theme

[Q] Help with ROM Manager with RubiXFocused 1.8.6

I just installed RubiXFocused 1.8.6 yesterday. I installed it by booting into Clockwork Recovery (I think that's what it's called) and installing the zip file. It is a brand new ROM for the Droid X and I am very happy with it. The only thing is that it has a white status bar and I think it would look a lot better with a black one.
I looked online and found that the easiest way to do this would be through ROM Manager. So I got ROM Manager and tried to install Blackmodz Black Bar. Everything works until it reboots and tries to install the update. About halfway through I get an error showing a triangle with an exclamation mark inside and the android next to it. And then the phone reboots with no update.
I am in bootstrap recovery when I do all of this. Any help??

That black bar that you are trying to install is not compatible with Rubix at all. Rubix uses a completely different framework. When you try to install that black bar- it is trying to replace the Rubix framework-res.apk. Thankfully you were "unsuccessful".
Might I ask- are you keeping up with the thread on Rubix 1.8 over here...
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/drod2169-x/97764-often-imitated-never-duplicated-focused-1-8-6-a.html
...it is very helpful and you will be able to find modifications that work in this thread. Now that you are running RubiX you must be careful with any mods that you do to your X bc Rubix is using a framework-res.apk that is unique to the Rom and not shared with any of the other roms or the original Moto rom. that means most mods need to be specifically designated for rubix 1.8.
hope that is helpful and didn't come off sounding superior. I hate being talked down to but noticed that inadvertently I can sound that way.
good luck.

Not at all. thank you so much for your help. I had not seen that thread and it is super helpful.

Can someone please let me know rubix 1.8.9 is more stable than 1.8.6 ? I have a rooted droid X running OTA 2.2. I have YET to install a custom ROM, and am a little apprehensive, as I do NOT want to BRICK my phone. Also, can someone please verify the correct procedure to install a custom ROM. I have Clockwork Recovery Manager installed, as well as Koush's bootstrap for DX. I believe I have to boot into Clockwork Recovery and perform - wipe data/wipe cache, and then install zip from SD (once I put the ROM zip file on the SD).then sit back and let install..continue..Am I missing something? Thanks for any help/advice.

In ROM Manager (not FRM, Clockwork) under Fab's releases there is a zip to go back to stock fonts. I've always used that. Never tried it when using Fission, though. Thankfully, I haven't ran into a theme that changes the fonts with Fission. I also prefer stock fonts.

Ok didn't work what would I have to do to completely wipe the phone back to stock clear off all my personal stuff back to like out the box

you could try slapping another theme on top of it, like the stock one or the gingerbread one, can;t make any guarantees but thats how i got the stock icons back after a little mishap
