Hi all,
I am going to present to you, a widget that is essentially identical to the clock on the Sense 3 lockscreen. This is the first time I am contributing to the community. Please be gentle and I am looking forward to improve my stuff!
I am using a very nice wallpaper (not shown) and thus I want minimal widgets on my homescreen yet shows information I want to know. I find the clock on the lockscreen is very minimalistic and fit my needs and thus I made it.
Screenshots!! Left is lockscreen. Right is widget on homescreen.

}
How to get it?
Install Minimalistic Text (market link)
Download font file (link here, QR code available below)
Make a folder named "font" on the root of your SD card and put the font file there.
Load the font folder into minimalistic text. (This can be done by going to the app Minimalistic Text, Menu button, Global Setting, scroll down to Fonts folder, and select the right folder. It should be "/mnt/sdcard/font".)
Download the minimalistic text preference file (.mtpref) (link here, 24-hour format version here, QR codes available below)
Create a 4x1 minimalistic text widget on your home screen. On setting, restore the preference file.
Change your carrier name. (This can be done by going to custom layout, select the "static text" on the first row, key in your carrier name as shown on the lockscreen.) Alternatively, you can change it to show weather information.
(Optional) You can define the preference of tapping the widget yourself. (This can be done by ticking "Start another activity").
Hit OK!
Notes:
It is actually not fitting the dimension perfectly but that's the best I can. It's fitting nicely to ROM with dpi value of 240 (check "ro.sf.lcd_density" in "build.prop", found in /system). The ROM I am using, as of writing this, is RCMixS.
Minimalistic text currently does not support fetching the carrier name from the phone, and thus it can only be displayed via static text. I found in the app thread that it's the upcoming feature.
If you have a different dpi value and the font doesn't fit, please change the font size for Accented, Non-Accented and Normal respectively. The formula is (current font size)*(240)/(your dpi value).
Credits:
Devmill for his work on Minimalistic Text
Users from the RCMixS thread that point me to find out the text font size and apktool for allowing me to extract the xml files.
Google for teaching me dpi and its conversion to px

I am not a developer. The only programming language I know is C and MATLAB and thus I don't know how to write an app. I am just using whatever resources I have and create what I want.

This is a clock area today plugin I made to compliment UltimateLaunch. Originally it was an rlToday plugin, but I have moved on to XIAMultiTheme (XMT).
It is an ongoing work, there will be improvements, probably VGA versions etc, but it is certainly ready for use now, so I am releasing it.
Current version: 0.9
You will need:
XIAMultiTheme (version GREATER than 0.06 - the nightly builds are later than 0.0.6 if 0.0.7 is not out yet)
MortScript must be installed if you want to hear beeps when you press the BT / WiFi buttons
That's it!!
Installation:
1) Install XMT and Mortscript.
2) Extract SaFF zip to PC, upload the SaFF folder inside to the XMT themes folder on your PPC (Extras is source images etc, you dont need that on PPC)
3) Copy all .ttf files from the extras folder to the \Windows folder on your PPC
4) Select SaFF as active in the XMT config app
5) (Optional) Set the registry type of the SaFF plugin to Type 5 to make always on top (see readme.txt in zip)
Planned improvements and changes:
===========================
Different colour icons as well as the blue.
Clock font as PNGs with transparency
Prefraction of backgrounds behind the rounded buttons / backgrounds
Removing reliance on mortscript to make beeps
I AM NOT AN ARTIST SO IF YOU ARE AND WANT TO CONTRIBUTE IMAGE SETS THEN LET ME KNOW !!

I am currently working on a new version for VGA.
I am also looking to improve the graphics somewhat - all graphics are just PNG files so any artist wanting to try and skin SaFF, let me know - it is very easy. BlueMetalAxe supplied me with a button template which helped, maybe I can persuade to do me a complete skin job
Here is a preview:
I have no new version of the landscape VGA skin yet, I am toying with how to do it as the larger BT / WiFi buttons in portrait mean I would need seperate images for the landscape buttons or standardise on size. I am thinking the former.
I have decided on layout, so all I need do is gussy up the graphics. I re-did the clock font, and am pretty happy with that now.
Here is the new layout (For both Portrait and Landscape) with slightly improved graphics. Has been mangled somewhat by the screenshot utility but you get the idea...
[Edit] I dunno why, in the SS, the counter for mail in the portrait layout has a couple of numbers stacked on top of each other (The top one is a 4) - this does not happen in normal usage, I think it only happens just after you switch orientation.
Clock font as PNGs with transparency
looking forward to this feature, then i can make a nixie clock on my home screen!!

25 Android and Nook centric wallpapers
Variants:
High Contrast
Outline
Shadow
Small
Medium
Large
Two Sizes
Normal - (Compensates for menu bar) - (Images only included for the heck of it)
Wide 800 x 1200 - (Used for applying as wallpaper with basic Android Image viewer)
To properly apply 800 x 1200 wallpapers:
Download images from 1200 folder to SD card, doesn't matter where. (Ignore ._files, it's because I use OS X)
Unmount SD card safely (You better not just unplug the thing, or I swear I'll find you)
Use the Android aspplications such as Astro or Root Explorer to navigate your Nook to the folder in which you placed the wallpapers
View image in the default "Android" image viewer and select the "Set as" button on the top
Drag vertical arrows until the entire 800x1200 image is selected and confirm the selection
Done!
Free use, please give credit where credit is due.

Does any one know where the stock wallpapers are stored. The gallery app acting strange, and with out out the file location I cant use any alternative software to choose a wallpaper. Also the wall paper gallery only sees files in its default directory. where ever that is. Thanks

Hi all
This is my first "real" application. I done only CyanogenMod themes until now. For learning something about Android programming, I developed a small app, Commands Launcher.
It is very simple: you can define commands (only shortcuts actually) that you can use in a widget (homescreen and lockscreen).
I hope to add more features in the future, but as I'm an university student at the last year, I won't have much free time.
WIDGETS:
-Homescreen widget with a list of the commands defined (better than folders, it has an unlimited capacity and helps in saving space)
-Lockscreen widget [only from Android 4.2] that allows you to run commands directly from the lockscreen, without unlocking the device (note that this obviously won't work if you have a pin /password security for the lockscreen)
-1x1 minimum size
APP FEATURES:
-homescreen and lockscreen widgets
-three different text sizes for widgets (small, medium, big)
-side scrolling menù for helping app's navigation
-view of commands defined in a list
-backup and restore your commands in and from sd card
-three themes: light, dark, black (black is useful for amoled users, it will displays better and will save battery)
-four different transitions types between app's page
CHANGELOG
-1.5: now items of the list in the widget are centred
minimum widget size decreased from 2x2 to 1x1 (you may need to replace widgets)
-1.3: possibility to change widgets text size (small, medium, big)
small fixes
-1.2: other little fixes after first release
-1.1: little fixes after first releare
-1.0: initial release
DOWNLOAD:
Google Play
(if you like the app, rate it )
Enjoy
I love the concept of this widget. I've been looking for something like this. As a next step, I'd love to be able to create multiple different widgets that I can place on different homescreens. Also, font and size customization and the ability to link apps and not just shortcuts.
Great start!

So they are Android action bar icons from http://developer.android.com/design/downloads/index.html converted to font.
You can use it as any other font with Zooper - that means, you can scale and color it in any way you like.
There's no logical order, but attached character map should help.
You should be able easilly use it with standard Google Keyboard.
If you want request some new icons or suggest improvements, feel free to message me.
Enjoy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nova Launcher (or similar) SETUP:
- desktop grid 7x5

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips:
- to edit the widget press between time and battery fields
- zooper pro is required for the widget to work

I have never used the free version so I have absolutely no idea. But since this is quite simple with no extra features or something...I believe will work just fine with free as well.

Yes, Zooper Pro is required.
