Countdown days until event

I found this app while looking for something that could show me how many days are left until a family member was in town and it works great on my Tilt. Thought others would find it useful as well.
It's called Zimmermann T- Day Counter Plus! Edition
-Countdown is displayed on your Today Screen
-Multiple events can be added at once
-Different icons for each event

TimeRule 1.2 is similar with more options and several simultaneous countdowns. http://www.megasoft2000.com/product.php?division=ppc&product=TimeRule

Awesome, thanks. I'll have to give that a try and see which one I like better. So far the app that I found does what I need it to do for now, but it looks like this other program will give me more options.

The clock on your homescreen is not HTC Home is it? Looks good, somewhat smaller leaving more room voor other apps, care to elaborate?
Nice app btw. Thanks for sharing.

The clock on my Today screen is Phonealarm and I'm using the Favour8 skin. This is my favorite skin so far, but I did have to make some modifications so that it would work in landscape mode (I'm actually using a different skin all together when it switches to landscape).
And I am trying out the TimeRule app that was recommended and it does provide more detailed information for when the event will take place. So far I like it.

right, but it is possible to write a third party pictures plugin that would allow you to do this. just needs some knowledge of mortscript or .net or whatever you feel comfortable with

I wish I could do it but this is way beyond me...
I used to use a program that lets one display picture slideshow on today screen as a plugin but on wm 6.5 that's not possible anymore - I asked a few people on titanium forums if they could create a panel that does this but they couldn't.

lol funny one eh! I wish I had more time in my hand i would probably do it. What I can attempt to do is a slideshow panel, that's an easy one. tell it the target directory, refresh time and voila, although there aren't any fancy transitions available for titanium but it is very very possible. I'll see what I can do, maybe the slideshow as an addition to CAnalogClock would be nice.

I agree 100%, a few months ago, I barely use 10% off all of the pimp stuff I got installed on my phone lol, that's probably why I ditched the iphone and came back to WM, it's no fun if you can't tweak it to your liking right?

Post a screenshot on the plugin thread, I'm sure someone has a fix for you, it's only a matter of properly arranging the .cpr to your screen resolution.

[REQUEST] Remove the clock!

I really want to get rid of the clock on my status bar. Can anyone help me?

you cant remove it but i think you can make it invisible. however the space that the time takes up will still be there. any reason why you want it removed?

If you have a widget clock like the one on sense then it's redundant to have 2 places where time is shown.

exactly.
10chars

Not always, with me having the Cliq and can't change the clock color(yet) We have black themes so we can't see the clock. It didn't bother me since I had Beautiful Widgets at first. But then I realize how annoying it was always switching to the home screen to look at the time if I was in the middle of some task.

of course you can get rid of the clock, you just need to add this line into the statusbar xml file
android:visibility="gone"
that will remove the clock and will remove the space used for it as well, i would recomend you try apk tool on your framework-res.apk

Heres my experience in the past lol, I got rid of my clock, thinking a widget clock and that status bar clock is useless. About a day after, I couldn't help it. Got it back because that widget clock isn't as useful! It looked great at first, but I couldn't just rely on the widget!

Correcct me if im wrong but the lockscreen shows the time correct?

I would just set it up as the main wallpaper. I saw a lot of people wanting lock screen centered wallpapers so when i was working on it i figured why not make one. I too wish i could have two wallpapers one for lock screen and one for the home screens. I have seen some apps that do this. MultiPicture Live Wallpaper is one that i can remember. Ill install the app and redo the picture sizes so they can work for you guys.
OK so install the app -MultiPicture Live Wallpaper-
Go to the setting and check the lock screen option.
Set the lock screen as http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13348576/Android/Xoom/lock.jpg
Then set the home screen wallpaper as http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13348576/Android/Xoom/Wallpaper.jpg
Change the transition to none and BAM you are done.
This is from memory but should be pretty close. If you have any problems let me know and ill redo it on my xoom.

Any wallpaper you find online could necessarily work. I use wallpapers that are 1920px x 1280px and seem to work just fine.

UPDATED [wvga] [wad theme] [android - ice cream sandwich]

Hi all,
It's been about 15 months since I last used my Toshiba TG01 but my HTC Desire recently died and I'm back to the world of WM for now.
Anyway,
I used to make the occasional theme for Wisbar Advance Desktop (WAD) and thought I'd have a go at making an Ice Cream Sandwich Android based theme (portrait only) to use. It's fairly simple, but I like it, so I thought I'd share it.
Features:
- 3 Homescreens
- ICS clock widget
- Weather widget
- Calendar widget
- Pull-down notification bar (like android) giving latest SMS info, next appointment info as well as BT and WIFI toggles
To install:
1) extract the contents of the attached .rar archive
2) Install Mortscript
3) Go to \Program Files\Mortscript and tap the yellow mortscript icon
4) Copy the folder 'Message2Reg' to \Program Files
5) Copy the 'Messages' folder to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
6) Install Ice cream sandwich.wadesktop (when asked where to, choose \Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes)
To enable theme:
1) Ensure WAD is running
2) Tap and hold screen - choose 'change theme' from popup menu
3) If this theme is not listed, press menu then scan for themes
4) Once this theme is listed, tap it to highlight it, press menu then set as portrait theme
That should be all done.
Optionally, install Winstart to replace the usual WM start menu as I feel it provides a nicer experience and scrolls smoother etc.
Anyway, hope you like the theme.
Regards

Nice , great Theme

Based on android 4 and new Sense 4.0

It certainly is.

Thanks bady

Hi there,
So I updated the theme a little bit, nothing major.
What's new?
1) Data connection indicator in status bar - grey shows connection available and goes blue when connection is in use (see pic 2). Unfortunately it cannot specify G/E/3G/H etc.
2) Calendar widget. Tap anywhere on the calender to launch the calendar app, tap the arrows to change months.
3) Weather widget. Save the attached medium weather icons wherever you want and go into WAD settings to direct the medium weather icon set to that filepath. Then change WAD settings to whatever location you want weather info for and add a weather icon (medium) size to the same page as the weather widget and drag the icon over the widget.
4) Added next calendar appointment info to pull-down notification bar.
I think that's everything
Regards
wildcardspv

Quick info for masrterk; If you are looking for someone who can do magic with SPB MS is MR.Skippen but I think he is out of the game.You should even try.

Have you seen LeSScro's version of ICS for WAD? It's quite nicely done. You might take a look at it if you haven't seen his.

Yeah I tried that, and it's yet another great theme from Lesscro, I just found it to be a bit sluggish and difficult to configure, so I made this to be simpler and quicker and just offer the features that I need

I totally know what you mean, I made a desire based WAD theme a while ago and there were loads of requests in that thread!!!!!
Fortunately this time, this theme doesn't seem to be as popular so I'll keep sharing any updates I may make, but that's about it

This theme is just great!
I would use it on my i900 (WQVGA 240x400).. but since my phone is so old now... Is there a chance to get this theme on my resolution? Or I could simply adapt it myself, but I don't know how, except for the image files? I quite used wad2 until now, so I don't think it could be that hard.
Thanks!

I don't have a WQVGA device to test it on, so I couldn't really make the theme for your resolution but by all means, feel free to do so yourself
As the resolution is 50% of the size of WVGA, I would have thought that you could probably just take all the image files from the theme, make them 50% smaller then put them back on the phone, overwriting/in place of the original image files. After that it should just be a case of re-positioning everything so the spacing is ok for your screen.
Maybe it's not so simple, I don't really know, but good luck!!

I actually fixed my HTC Desire yesterday so I don't think there will be any more updates to the theme. If there are, I'll definitely share them, however if anyone wants to take it and use/modify it in any way, that's more than fine - just mention it in credits.

So, it's back to the world of Android for you. Glad you got it fixed. Hate when my phone craps out as it has done a couple of times and only by sheer luck brought it back from a bricked state. Good luck!

Once again, you provide a different vision of ICS...
Nice one... Good Job !
