I've searched high and low, but can't seem to find an answer to this question.
I'd like to take the stock time/date from the lockscreen on my Thunderbolt and place it onto my homescreen.
I'm running Das BAMF Remix 1.7 which has the "Verizon Wireless" nuked from the lockscreen. I think this time/date is so simple and it'd look perfect on my homescreen, but I have no idea how to put it there.
Try simple clock widget from market. Not exactly what your looking for I know, but fairly similar.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I do appreciate the quick response.
I've tried both simple clock and digital clock, and while both are pretty damn close, they're not quite right. I'm too particular I suppose.
I'm hoping someone knows how I can extract the time/date from the lockscreen (perhaps as an apk?) and then I can just flash it like any other mod.
Can you post a screenshot? I looked through the Roms thread for pictures, im just being curious (nosy)
Make Your Clock Widget or .. Make Your Clock Widget (Pro)
mClock or Minimalistic Text
Give those a try. - Also, I think "OMC" One more Clock has what you're looking for as a default skin.
i suppose i was just being lazy. after a bit of patience, i was able to use minimalistic text to mimic the stock lockscreen date/time perfectly. the only extremely minor glitch i can't quite fix now is the positioning. when i unlock my phone if you look carefully you can see the time/date jump just a few pixels. i don't think this is something i can fix though, as it probably has something to do with the different ways in which widgetlocker and launcher pro plus draw their grids between the lockscreen and the homescreen.

All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.
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?
Daisy
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

Does anyone know how I can change the hand colors on the analog clock in Android? It's green, but I would like to try yellow or blue. I know, like in Cyanogen, the clock (as well as the power widget) are in cyan colors, so can something similar be done?
Or is there like a third party app/widget that looks like the clock but change colors?
Sorry if this is asked, but I searched on many forums without an answer.
There's quite a few free analog clock widgets in the market that allow customizability. I don't use an analog clock, I use Beautiful Smaller Home by Beautiful Widgets...or you can
try to ninjamorph it.
@hollywooder
I have seen tons of widgets in the market, however I want the same background and hand design, with color changing option.
In that case, morph is probably what you're looking for, but since I don't suppose there is a morph just for clock, you'll also have to make it.
I found ninjamorph and it seems to be able to analyze jar and apk files. If someone can tell me what file that analog clock is, (and if it uses images for the hands), i could probably edit the images and put it together.
Still learning about the OS....
Is there an extra large clock/calendar widget (perhaps similar to the HTC)? I would like to use my gtablet in its dock, in landscape with the widget taking up the full screen rather than one corner (which is the biggest I can find now)
The one that I know that would do that is a paid app. It is called beautiful widgets. I paid for it on my phone and transferred it over to the gtablet. I will get some pictures of it in the morning. It is definately worth the money. You can customize so much with it that it makes the htc one look amateur.
Sent from my Froyo Leak...thanks Kaos \00/
Many thanks,
The clocks are excellent and scalable to suit my needs. However, the weather icons (and there are lots of them) are very small and not scalable. I'll look around to see if extra large weather icons exist!
I really liked the stock tapntap one that came on the tab.
Is the apk for that one around? Can't seem to find it.
I'd like to see the stock one also
Same here, does anyone have it or know were we can get it
I'd be interested in that apk too
Not sure If I've thrown this in the right place, sorry if I haven't.
Am looking for a theme, or even an icon set that would look similar to this lockscreen. I've searched every site I could think and hunted through Google but alas have turned up nothing. So I turn to the trusty people of XDA.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...locker.theme.ics&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
Almost like the beautiful looking windows 7 icons designed on the andriodforums, but with a glass appearance and different sizes. 2x2 3x2 1x1 3x3 2x1 and 1x2
Anyone seen anything like that?

Use launcher 7 or search the windows dev/theme threads. You can also make the tiles too, just lower the opacity to 50-60% on the tile.
