Spb Pocket Plus

Hello everyone,
I have a rookie question...
I just bought SPB Pocket Plus, mainly because the people from the the thread where you show your today screen had magnificent screens and said that they got there from pocket plus, and was wondering how you get the skins/themes/ whatever they are called. I liked the iPhone looking one i tried 'googleing' it and nothing close to what I was looking for. Thanks in advance for any help!

look around
It's opinion on what's the best theme. Just make sure you're catching the difference between programs and themes. HTC Home is popular but isn't really a theme. In SPB shell there is a quick way to switch theme colors, and then just pick a Today screen. I would look around a but for posts on today screens to get a feel for what you like.

Hi:
There are no Pocket Plus themes per se. You can change the icons to your liking, so they go well with any theme you choose.
You can find icons for Pocket Plus here:
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewto...tart=585&sid=1f6b7201264cbff68b5a4f341b2cee91
The Today theme is different than Pocket Plus. Pocket Plus is just one aspect of it.
For example, I will post my Today screen below. At the top the 5 icons are SPB Pocket Plus, right below that is HTC Home (that includes the clock, indicators, and five icons right below it. Below that the voicemail indicator, and bluetooth toggle are SPB Phone Suites. In addition, there is a separate Today theme (which includes background, and the color of your text (as you can see, my theme is all black , but you can also choose backgrounds with wallpaper etc.)
Anyway, I hope this helps

Dude why do you have 2 clocks on your today screen?

Lol, very easy explanation. I like the look of HTC Home, but the small clock is visible in all programs. So, if I am online, or whatever I still know what time it is.
It's so funny, I have shown my Today screen to tons of people, and you are the first to question this. I think others just assumed there was a purpose for it

Yeah, I thought of that right as i posted. lol

HTC Sense: Can it be changed?

Searched (here and google) but couldn't find an answer. If it has already been posted, I apologise.
I just got my HTC Hero and I'm adjusting quite well from the change from WM6 to Android (used to have the HTC Touch Pro, aka the Raphael I think) but I was wondering whether HTC sense on the Hero interface can be changed (e.g. clock, colours) or if there are skins available, like there were for WM. Just to be clear, I know there are loads of apps out there (OpenHome, aHome etc) to change the normal interface, but they all seem to be focused on the Hero without the Sense interface. I want the Sense interface, but would like to change the analogue clock, the colours etc.
Thanks in advance!

No you can't really do that at the moment.
But there are several widgets for clock, you can change the background and the lock screen. Or you can pu any widget that you want instead of HTC's

haven't seen those either, not for Sense anyway, do you maybe have links/names of those apps for me? would really appreciate it! thanks!

Photo Clock is a good one. It has about 10 different faces, including 2 or 3 where you can choose a photo or your own pic as the base background for the clock. Just type clock into the market... All clock widgets for android can be used "for sense" - you just dump the HTC Clock widget and load one from the Android Widgets section. That goes for all android widgets.
I'm assuming you know there are 13 different clocks on the HTC Clock widget for Hero?

No, I didn't know that, I've only had it a couple of days and did look around on the phone for ways to change it, but I don't seem to be able to find it (I realise I'm sounding like a complete noob now, but oh well). The Photo Clock app sounds good as well, will have a look at that if (after someone has been so kind as to help me locate the different styles for the standard app) I don't like them.
Thanks for helping me out with this!
edit: I just found it! power of posting I guess It was under HTC-widget and I'd only been looking under Android-widget...Now I think about it, not too smart...

So you're sorted? Its not that obvious tho I have to say, as the options for screen widgets only come up when you choose them, so unless you dump one then reapply, you don't see them.
On all HTC widgets there's a little number (1/12) at the bottom saying how many options for views there are for that widget - some have loads, others only 1.
Also check out the SCENES - I only just got round to seeing those - they are like template arrangements of screen widgets that you can switch to and fro between, and also gives the option to save different custom arrangements.
I have one with links to all my porn and a photoframe with naked men that I have to quickly turn off and swap for the business one with the classy blue world wallpaper in case the hubby sees.... (kidding...)
They look seriously useful but I've not had a full mess with them yet. It was VERY simple to pop back to my own eclectic Scene set up tho

How to get rid of the flip clock completely

Hello - I've searched far and low. It seems everyone except for myself love the huge clock. I hate it whether it flips or not. I don't even want a clock on my home page. Does anyone know of any app that can make this clock go away and give me more real estate on the home page?
Tried WAD2, but crashes too much. Infinity also crashes. Used SPB for about a year, but bored and hate the bottom icons.
Thanks for any direction...

Just swipe your finger up through the home screen, the flip clock will gone, replaced by a (much) smaller clock.
If you hate the bottom icons in Spb, you can try ShellExtension that can hide the bottom icons on the Spb, or the naong MobileSense that can replace the bottom bar with HTC Sense (in HTC Android devices, for example : HTC Hero), (HTC) Espresso, or Omnia

.
vtmorp i agree with you i flip the clock up i prefer the small one if only there is a setting to have it by default flipped up

flip clock
My old phone used sense 2.1 and the flip clock did flip up into a smaller clock. This one does not. Using sense 2.5 2012 so maybe that's it, but my last rom had sense 2.5 1911 and it also did not flip up into a smaller clock.
Oh well - back to spb with some tweaks. Thanks.

u can try use Maxmanila. It support the big clock, flip clock, digital clock, or no clock.

Many times if youre not satisfied with the big clock nor you wanna install a new clock by searching for cabs, why not revert to the Windows Default Screen??? Depending on what rom youre using....
Start/Settings/Today
Look for the Item tab, un-check HTC Sense or HTC Manila
Check Windows Default
And well.....heres a more simpler style too your phone, no more BIG CLOCK.
I guess just try different approachs......

You can use some of the tips/tricks/files in this thread (most will work on VGA phones) -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589227

try
checkout the cookiemonster home tab mod, if you swipe up twice you remover everything but a tiny clock at the top and you can see your background

Yay - no more clock!
Thanks Overjjrk! The cab worked like a charm - the awful clock is gone. It is definitely a preference matter - I just don't get why I have the time in the upper bar and then this HUGE ugly flip clock taking up all that real estate.

Is there a clock i can use as a tile on the main screen?

The time is displayed on the upper right corner of the main home screen not to mention on the lock screen...need another clock?

I'd be interested too in this, something like the HTC Sense one on Android which shows the time and the weather?

I too missing that Big Analog clock and weather update on home screen after updating to WP7 from 6.5 on my HTC Hd2.
Anyways we can get that on WP7 ????

you could use htc hub ...

That hub is actually not really a nice solution.
The lack of "pimping" ability actually brought me back to WinMo (as well as the fact that there´s still no decent navigation software officially available for WP7, an epic fail of MS, they should have pushed that - I´ll need it for my summer vacation).
The newer WinMo ROMs are also fast and stable, plus I can personalize as much as I want. Happy I´m back to my clocks.

Stock Clock widget anyone?

Hi,
for some reason my stock Sammy clock does not look right... Ever since loading ICS mine has a black background, the font looks different (fatter) and the day/month/date is displayed at the bottom right instead of the bottom left.
Can anyone post their std clock apk?
Also, the original picture frame widget in HC was much nicer. It used tobe rectangular with a "play" button in the bottom right. Now it is either square or displays multiple images and has a "settings" type gear cog in the bottom right. Is this an irreversible change with ICS or would the old one still work and can anyone post that too?
Cheers.

Arghhhhh!!!! Now I have completely lost the widget! I have it in system/app/ but it doesn't appear in the list of widgets when I try to add it to a screen.
I don't think it it is the correct apk.
Could someone with the official ICS upload theirs?

Here's the stock clock widget that i have. http://db.tt/FAV0kukY
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda app-developers app

Cheers! At least I have the clock back now, although it still doesn't look the same as previously...
Normal
Mine
Anyone got any ideas?

I'm also having this problem... the honeycomb clock looks nice, while the ICS one is horrendous. It shows up looking correctly in the widget picker, but its appearance gets ugly as soon as its on the home screen, without any options to tweak it.
Can anyone post a fixed version of this widget? I'd be willing to root my device just to get it back.

Clock Widget
Same problem here,the name of the day does not show there is only number instead.
I tried to swap the clock widget but it wont allow me to do so and I cant delete it either.
Iam new to this android stuff, does the tab need to be rooted and what program is best
to change sytem files ?

I know this is dragging somthing back form the dark ages but does anyone who has(d) this issue know of a way of resolvinf this?
My screen just doesn't look the same anymore at... I used to be able to line up the clock and the weather app (stock) exactly under each other. Not possible anymore, there's a gap between the two.
Or is it just the way ICS is (if you use TW Launcher)?
