Kireols clock pack - set 1 for HHC/HTC Home 11/17/2007

I wanted to make some new clock faces for HTC Home. These work with the HTC Home Customizer ( http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html ) but I imagine you could install them without that by hand, i dont know why you'd want to though.
There's quite a few hours of work here to get these just right. Comments will be appreciated.
There are 10 in this first pack. I plan on making a few more packs.
Most of these are black fonts with beveling to make them look nice.
EDIT: Removed max compression on zip for those that dont have bz2. zip now has normal compression
EDIT2: rar version here: http://rapidshare.com/files/70732473/Kireols_HHC_Clocks_pack_1.rar.html

screens 6-10

I'm having trouble opening the zip file (Vista).... is it just me?

i had compression turned on max by default on my zip. that might affect you. zip fixed in top post

I'm using XP. Something is jacked up with your zip file. I get this error with all files when using WinRAR to try to unzip it.
! C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.RETESTRAK\My Documents\KireolsClocks.zip: Unknown method in screenshot6.gif
EDIT: It's working ok now.

Thanks for the efforts
If you need a Star Trek font or a Flintstone font, I can look to see what I still have.
I like LCD-type fonts and solid fonts with drop shadows. Are these paks hard to make? I'd like to try my hand at them.
Have you tried to do weather images? What does it take to make those?

They arent hard but are time consuming! for each font you have to find a good font, load up an image program and edit each individual number and symbol and make sure they are positioned correctly, the load to phone and test. I'd say each font is roughly 30 minutes to 1 hour for me. I havent tried anything but clocks yet. However I may in the future as everything is just an image file.

These are very nice, I like the claw and the German black the best, the only trouble is I cant use them because I have my tilt completely blacked out. But if you ever decided to change them to say...........red, then we would be in business. Thanks they look great!

good job they look nice i'll be adding one of them shortly.

Nice work! Not exactly my cup of tea, but I applaud you!

is it just me, or is there no zero in the claw group? the zero image looks the same as the one. sorry if someone has already mentioned this.
edit: also seems that the eight looks like a zero

I noticed the same thing here. I'm actually quite surprised that this has been out so long and only had one comment about the missing / malformed characters in this font. The claw happens to be my favorite of this group, but I can't use it if it doesn't display the right characters. I went sifting through the files to see if something was just mixed around and was disheartened to see that there was nothing I could fix from this end. Kireol: please distribute a new version of the claw font with all characters.
There was also a mention of different colors - yeah, count me in for that one too.

[THEME] mercury/liquid metal

this is the first theme i have ever made. i started on it yesterday and worked all night and day to get it out in just under a day. there are a few files that got edited and looked kinda crappy but most of the files look just fine.
** i fixed the crappy icons and the theme now includes a skinned dialer, sip and spb calc. i will update it later to include more icons, a skinned task manager and skinned tp2 calulator.**
heres the download link:HERE

Looks nice!

heya, what software do you use to make your battery look like that? I've been looking around but none of the themes say the name of the battery software.

Hi everybody!
Look nice but link is dead.

Search for "taskbar icons" like I did here

I was specifically looking at fatalcharade's taskbar. It looks really cool and I'm wondering where he got it from.

i fixed the link. the version i posted was glitchy so i deleted the file from my server. i then put up the fixed version but forgot to come here and fix the link.
i also made a dialer for it that makes the phone look the same, if you would like it i can upload that too.

Wallpaper
@ Fatal Charade- Could u upload the wallpaper for your theme in the screenshot or send a link to it?

not sure how i fix this but after running your installer the theme displayed fine execpt that the call history calendar and the background of the clock are still black and realy hard to read any idea how i make them white like in the photo

the link is broken
I can't find the link that u mention above..
could u give me the precise address or the update one..
how to install this theme?
is it just like the regular *.cab files installation?
or need something else?
many thanks.

i just recently changed the links and stuff, i updated the first post.

looking for a different bookmark widget

Hey folks...
I just got a hero (sprint) a couple days ago, and I'm already running out of space on my home screens... I really like the bookmark widget, but it just takes up too much space... Anyone ever seen one that's just a single row of icons tall that scrolls left/right? I've gotta believe it exists, or wouldn't be too tough to create.
Any input?

Use a Live Folder.. search for bookmark(s) live folder in market

That's a workable solution, but I'd much rather have a widget.
Thanks for the pointer though... If I totally run out of space, I'll go that route..

Or you can use "bettercut" app in the market and make your own bookmark shortcuts. Plus you can choose your own icon, by downloading the image or use an icon pack they provide.

Mate this is hero development, your question should be in Hero themes and apps .... Moderators you attention please.
P.S bettercut's the best option

[Q] Theme or Cookie 2.0 Question?

Hi folks;
OK here is a jump right in situation.. Suppose using the EnergyROM ver. " Energy.RHODIUM.29005.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.13 " you wanted to use some of the Home Screen graphics? Nor I have found all thegraphics for the flip clock and that works great changing the manila files in Photoshop CS5.
The one Gramhic I can't find guessing at the bars and testing is the one thats just under the main tip curtain and your location, etc. and it's the one thats rolled and small vertically, I'll just say the humpped up one? has the small line vertically in it and has on the rght the Alarm on or off and on the left the date... There now...whew..
OK I am trying to find the file name of that little graphic in eith manils or the theme name? Driving me nuts as I am trying to make the graphic background for that area flat and dart like the Sencity themed ROM.
If any one can give a little hand here I would really appreciat it!!!
Sincerey

I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. Can you post a screen shot with the item in question circled?
Oh, finally understood what you're asking for, will upload the files in question in a minute.
The Images are attached in both PNG & QTC format. The PNG filenames have notes to which part they are for. There are 6 images in total. These are my already skinned files btw, just a note.

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I wanted to personally thank you for the link to the Sencity images. I have them working and did a little touch up on them and made them look even better than before.
Sorry it took me some time t get back to you with this but I am in Flight Status Readiness runs right now and having to tighten up some of the marines and Navy pilots to get ready for a few things that may spring up..
I have already issued the new Manila sections to the teams an they have already mentioned that when dimmed it works perfectly!!
Think of what color youhave to make the Home Screen so that it was Dark with little Ambient out put and be very visible wit infra-red eyes?? That's a good one.
The way I do it is using the real thing and looking at the screen, but anyone can see it with the red lense of a pair of ZZ Top 3D Glasses for the 3d movies and use the red lense..
I really thank you for all the help.
Now I tring to get my hands on the STOCK HTC Icons for the phone, so that I can redo them for our needs. Are there any out on XDA as a set??
Thanks Again!!
Sincerely

aka Automan

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I forgot to ask you one more question on this ROM?? Is there any of the Original Start Icons out there on XDA " I have been looking " for them that come with the Stock ROM on the HTC web site for the Tilt2 flip out keyboard or actually it's just the new Touch Pro2. I just need the Images for the folders and the start sections.
I did find the stock "Check Boxes" & "ATT_Blue_Sense_Switches_and_Highlights", but I am just missing the original Start Folders and apps. If I get them I am going to change them to what color I need and not have any of then Shinny like Apple Button's..
If you know and can do more link to me I would greatly appreciate it.. Seems like you know where most of these type things are..
Thanks again for all the help..
Sincerely

I would suggest downloading Ervius Visual Kitchen. You can then dump the stock ROM of your choice to get said files. Also get WinRAR or 7Zip, with either you can "unzip" the ROM exe to get the .nbh file which you'll need to dump with the kitchen. Sense you want a stock set of icons, just go to HTC's website & get the ROM from there.

Merry Christmas drkfngthdragnlrd!!!
Thanks for the info, and I think I will jump that direction on the kitchen as if I need a new project, but it sounds interesting..Appreciate it.. I did call HTC Support yesterday and low and behold the support guy I talked with is here close to my home base and her spent 3 hours yesterday trying to get all of the image files from their stoch ROM and at about 6:00 pm est. time he called and emailed me a link.
I only have one small question for you now if you have the time.
The 20th of Dec. ENergyROM's have a problem it looks like on the post, that mentions getting rid of the Appointment Widget or something like that, I can do that, but I need to know if there is somewhere on the cell plone where you turn off the " XDA_UC "??
Here is the tweet posted on the Twitter site about the latest 20th Dec. ROM....
Note:
It seems having the tasks widget on the homescreen makes CHT 2.0 unstable and crash Sense. Remove the tasks widget if u dont have tasks .
So it's mentioned on the install section to dis-able XDA_UC before doing a task 29..
This ROM was blowing my mind...If you see the news or read it on MSN the Korea problem is getting worse by the day, I am going to get this coloring and darkening on this ROM and gt it out to my Troops ASAP. We are now officially on Active Call.... That's not good, it's cold as He** over ther now and we and most of our troops have been in the desert reagion's too long...Problem sinario...
Thanks and Take Care and have a Great Holiday!!! I really do appreciate all the help you have given me...!! I could't have pulled this idea off with out your help..
Now I just have to get the Dec. 20th version running as some of the CHT files and others have changed..
Not a problem there I have already seperated the images into different dir's and will mostly set-up a Photoshop Action to do what I need...

I don't know about disableling XDA_UC, but there should be information in it's thread. I don't use Task29 myself, I use a stock RUU. If you download a Stock ROM, it's a self extracking exe/zip. I manually unzip it & delete the nbh files in there & than add the custom ROM nbh to that folder. Now when I run the RUU that was inside, it flashes the custom ROM while doing a full format of the ROM Chip. Been doing this for over a year now & never have any kind of bad flash issues. Never need to Hard Reset after flashing, never need to do Task29 or Flashing Stock/etc.

SPB Shell now on the market

Has anybody tried it yet? Can they report back how it compares to the beta. There are a lot of -ve comments at the moment. Hopefully Mskip will work his magic on it like he did with the wimno version.
It might also be useful if people reported what ROM's, LCD densities etc that it works with.
This is their demonstration / instructional video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVU84J1ShSQ&feature=player_embedded

i try it ,its better than the beta with more commands and stuff

my girl have it you cant customize it no real type of setting cant hide icon labels not worth it to me every thing i like to do on laucher pro cant be done on spb i cant even hide the taskbar im cool they can have that it was better on winmobile graphics is the best thing about it a lot of people going to be having the cracked version

Hi,
I have bought it and it runs realy great, using GBX11.0 @clk.
I don't try the beta so I can't compare it.
But I want to know if it is possible to save the settings I've made in SPB Shell 3D?

Hi
i bought the spb Shell in the Market and i dont know how to make IT rund
i got the hyperdroid cm7 1.0.4 on my hd2 and it fc instantly
has anyone a idea how to fix this?

I had this on my phone but deleted it as i couldn't seem to get it to integrate with Folder Organizer my apps are all in separate folders like Multimedia,Tools, Games, Internet,etc

You can create and name folders within spb without the use of folder organiser. Have a look at their demonstration video.

i personally dont think its worth it. you cant really place icons where you want. they just move around according to the space left on your screen. good graphics. but not really worth it.

i'd say they're too late with their product... They could release it earlier and change interface, but now as it is it isn't competitive thats all

i'm using the beta version now... ok, let me test the SPB Shell 3D and let you all know how it works.

Why pay 15$ for this thing when you can get ADW Ex for 3$, LPP for 3$ or even Go Launcher Ex for free??
Way too expensive...

Hey guys, i have just tested SPB Shell 3d version. Finally the problem from beta version 5.0 has been solved! When use 5.0 each time you connect to pc to tranfer file, it will prompt you to reload SPB shell again and again! Now it works fine.
In the Calander, problem solved too. In beta, you cant add in any upcoming event even you click on add. But now it is working.
Now it is well-organized. Very nice to use. However, the only problem i found is that when you click the center button so you get all the page go around in 3d which is very cool. However, when you move it 1 by 1, actually the home menu button of the current page doesnt really follow. eg, you move to travel page, but the home menu button still at calandar. When you select travel page to maximize, you will get calandar page instead.
That's all i found.

The icons not 'sticking' to one spot can be a pain, but is manageable.
3D carousel can be quite dizzying at times but now the tiny indicator light does move from home screen to tell you where you are.
I like the weather app and I like the 'update on free connections only' option. I have Internet pass through (an essential requirement as I have no data plan) and it looks as if it updates weather whenever I use it.
It is still very new for me (I have only had it on for 6 hours now) but I am an old WinMo SPB Mobile shell user. I now have SPB Shell3D 1.0.3.
SPB Widget choice is limited. One thing I really miss is MSkip's themes and Icons, but it is early days and perhaps he is already busy on something.

Don't waste your time and money with SPB 3D, it's worthless. With some exceptions the app looks old, like is an app from 2008, not 2011. The 3D caroussel looks nice but it's just not suitable for frequent use... the weather panel is also nice but this is where nice stops. Nothing else in this app is really impressive, just regular features you'll find in every similar app. I preferr to use Fancy Widget with its nice 3D transitions between screen, than the old looking SPB.
