Hey guys, I just got done flashing the third update on Flipz's page that fixes the Vanilla lockscreen problem and deletes the stock world clock/installs the Vanilla Android clock. I'm running the latest version of DamageControl, and prior the flash I had installed JsChiSurf's Rotary-Style lockscreen without time and carrier that's downloadable OTA from DCUpdate (I went in through adb and also removed the HTC lockscreen prior this so that things would be transparent). I didn't care to lose the Rotary-Style lockscreen because I needed the alarm clock fix.
The new locksreen works like a charm, but I have been unable to find a Vanilla clock app in my app drawer (and of course, my stock clock app is gone). The time displays fine on my taskbar and my lockscreen--just no app to be found anywhere. I did a nandroid backup, so I could in theory just go back to what I had, but I really needed the alarm clock fix and don't want to do that.
I hope I'm not just missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated. I've been a lurker here for a couple of weeks and have benefited greatly from all the info...I searched and searched to see if anyone else had this problem, but couldn't find anything (even searched the replies to the issue on Flipz's page).
Thanks in advance...

Anybody...?
I applied the one that didnt delete the original clock app, but i still want the fix. I want to be able to use my alarms without having to run desk clock every night or have to restart whenever the alarm goes off.
Alright, I'll answer my own question since I figured it out by accident.
Long story short, re-flashed my ROM yesterday, opened my apps drawer this morning, and there was the new clock app.
Don't know why. Just posting in case someone else has this issue in the future. Won't guarantee it'll fix anyone else's problem, and quite frankly I don't really know why it fixed mine. Didn't wipe, nothing. Just re-flashed.
If someone could explain, that's cool, if not, that's cool too--my phone works like I wanted it to now.

K first off, not sure if this goes here or in Android Development where the Hero ROM's are..
Does anyone know why my FlipClock on any Hero ROM i run not show weather, I've only successfully managed to show weather on it in one ROM but I wasnt able to keep that one.
If so, how do I fix it?
It usually just takes a few minutes to update. Or it could be a rom specific issue, which you never said what rom you used to it's anybody's guess.
yeah sorry=\
I ran it on JacHeroSki, MoDaCo 1.5.1, and Drizzy 1.5.5, none of which work.
When I ran Drizzy's Hero Blur ROM, it WORKED! Much to my surprise.. But I couldnt keep the ROM cause of the SMS bug=\ Waiting until he releases a stable version of it so I can reflash it, but I'd still love to know how to get it working.
Normally when the flip clock is going toload the weather it states the city name then loads, my clock doesnt even do that.
Could it be an issue with your data connection? Are you running 3G?
all you have to do is open the weather app before you put the flip clock widget, if it doesn load withing 3-5 min, remove it and add it again, that should do it
try loading the weather apk. before putting the widget on your screen
K, thanks guys ill give it a try
I actually am having this issue on a G1 I recently installed Maxisma's 1.6.1. When I click the weather widget it tells me "activity is not ready to execute" Strange though as I have the same build installed on my MyTouch and it works just fine. All others with G1's aren't reporting this issue either.
I'm going to have to try loading the weather apk first to see if I can get it to update through there.
Try This
Click on where the weather should be
Once in the weather app, go to settings
Change to farenheight and exit out
Change back to celcius and exit fully out
Remove widget
add it back
Guaranteed to get you your weather, if not, you have another problem
I searched and did not find anything...sorry if i missed something...
Alright so I am looking at rooting and only thing that worries me is if i have to send the phone in. How can i make it look like I did not root it. Is there any downside to rooting and what can I do with a rooted phone. Thanks everyone
It's really simple to make it go back to stock, just use the Sprint RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608434
Downside to rooting might be if you don't have a permissions manager installed you could give root access to malicious program. Haven't heard of it happening yet, but it can.
As for what can be done with a rooted phone, the possibilities are endless...
once you root and flash a recovery rom your all set to go...also do a backup in case. there are a couple really good roms out there, i recommend fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. there are some really great themes out there as well. as the above poster said the possibilities are endless and in time we will have as many new roms and themes as the gsm users have.
most important, have fun!
Where can I get the ROMs? I can't seem to find them....and with my luck they are in some place obvious.
There is a sticky at the top of these forums which gives a nice link.
To make it easy, it takes you here:

there is a sticky at the top of the forum that has all of the ROMs in a Wiki site. look there

Go into menu, weather, update and then give it a min. If it still doesnt refresh, put your phone in stand by and come back.

Nothing. The weather widget has no problems and syncs just fine and shows the correct weather but the clock refuses to. I think everything is set correctly yet it does not want to show.

Did you try soft resetting your phone or even removing the widget and adding it back to the homescreen?
both. Neither worked oddly. I dont know...ill mess with the GPS and wifi settings also and see if that fixes it. that isnt the biggest problem ever. If you have any idea on whats wrong though let me know.
I have rooted my phone and I am an addict. I am here everyday for about an hour. You will have fun with it. I recommend that before once you root it and get your first rom installed play with it for a while but dont get comfortable. I have used all the roms available for the hero except one of them. My advice to you is install one play with it them switch and use them all before you start installing all of your apps and customizing it. I have put three hours into customizing my phone with a rom and then Im like ooh a and install another rom and I have to start over LOL. You will have fun if you like to tinker I guarantee it. Have fun and good luck.
While I am thinking about it....can I make my lock screen any more useful. I find this so plain
sorry for the double post but I wanted this to bump up. Clock will not show the weather anymore...anyone have a fix? also any way to put something on the lock screen?
Okay, big apologies, but this is the wife's phone (surely you can understand).
Her phone was updated to CM6 RC2. I did a really good job of making sure it was exactly as it was before the update. Two small problems exist now though, and I'm sure it can be fixed.
1 - She uses LauncherPro (not ADW). I installed, restored all settings. Rebooted and it was perfect, UNTIL I used the search widget (I know there is no point for it, again, wife's phone).
When I open the search widget, works perfect. BUT, when I return to the home screen the search widget is stuck at the top of the screen, covering the 4 app icons. I have to reset LP in order for it to return to normal.
What is causing this? What's the fix?
2 - The phone CONSTANTLY is syncing. It never stops. Even when I cut off sync using the power control widget, it is still showing the sync icon.
I just started using SMS backup, so I am curious if that is to blame? I would not think so... but... it's the one NEW thing I did add (though I don't think it caused an issue just before i updated when I was backing everything up).
I DID search but could not find an answer. Thank you for any help!
Is anyone else having these issues?
Hi guys, I've got this p990 as my first android phone.
Years passed customizing WM... well air needed to be freshened!
Anyway down to my "problems"
A)
I hate the LG lockscreen, but I found no way to go back to default.
Also since I installed GO SMS PRO, received sms notifications continue to appear on it even after reading messages.
So I installed FlyScreen but don't like it that much.
Installed WidgetLocker and that suits me better, but I can't find any notification widget, something like a transparent overlay with the relevant info.
Maybe customizable. I've seen something like that in the Widgetlocker Themes, but even downloading theme doesn't fetch the widgets though.
Using android sliding bars for everything is really horrible.
B) how can I change the system icons (battery,wifi,etc)?
It's rooted, but I'm still running stock. Tried a Cyano nighlty but it didn't boot so I reverted to stock.
C) using GO SMS Pro, why do I have to select it as default on every reboot?
D) using ExtendedControls, reboot doesn't work although it got root permission. It gets stuck on the waiting window, system still works ok (I can go to home, and do everything). Who should I ask?
On a side note: since this phone runs on a tegra2, what would be the problem in flashing an honeycomb rom like asus transformer's?
So I found that the clock app is different, coming from Mosaic 9 and I like the style of it, although one of my problems is that I can't seem to make the alarm sound a song on my phone. Anyway to get a custom alarm in that im missing?
On a similarly related note, I installed a TW Clock or something (can't quite remember the name, looking for the link) but the option to use a custom alarm doesn't work if anyone knows whats going on, although the OP said everything works besides the note that says the time to alarm.
the error it gives me: App package com.sec.android.app.myfiles not found
okay im stupid, im assuming this is because I dont have My Files installed anymore or it doesnt come with Slim ICS, trying to restore the app with titanium backup... any other suggestions?
heres the exact one I DL'd: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558337
Thanks!
Agree, wondering how to get custom alarm sound to display in choices for this clock.
I figured it out. For some reason I couldn't get files to save from the phone but when hooking it up to my computer, I was able to copy files into the ringtones folder. The songs now show up as choices for the alarm ringtone.
kinda tedious, but hey, not that much work.... I *think* setting something as ur ringtone from poweramp should work too if i remember correctly then.
Thanks!
