Recommended night clock app? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I still use my old CM7 Nexus One as night clock/alarm clock in a desktop cradle. I tried a few but haven't found a night clock app I like. Features I would like to have include a low light clock that move from time to time and keeping capacitive buttons dark.
Do you use a night clock which you can recommend?

I use 4.2s daydream clock and then an app that uses root to dim the capacitive buttons.

I use Gentle Alarm, does the job for me and you can even dim the display by sliding your finger down the side of the screen

I use deskclock, it's light an does the job, plus it's free.

I like Doubletwist Alarm. Looks very neat, has a great night mode too.

What app do you use to dim the capacitive buttons? Is it on Play store?

As the developer of that app, I just wanted to chime in here. First of all, thanks for linking to it! Second, I've done some work to make this app work correctly on the HTC One. If you'd like to try the latest beta version, please see the newly-created thread in the HTC One forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402153. Thanks!

Gentle Alarm. It's packed with options. Can't go wrong with it.

[Q] Which Apps Would You Like to See Developed?

I'm taking ideas for new apps! I'm starting to develop for Android and am looking for ideas on apps to develop. What apps would you like to see developed?
A clone of the TW stock clock for CM7. I loved having an alarm clock with gentle alarms, stopwatch, and timer all in one app. I haven't found a suitable app that combines all three as elegantly as the stock clock did.
I haven't seen this option yet in file managers (if there already is please let me know), but I would like to see a batch file delete with a confirm delete option. That would be nice.

an app that tells you if your battery is calibrated correctly. Nothing like that out there. I know there is a battery calibrator app but not one that tells you if it is calibrated or uncalibrated I think that would be awesome! So you know after you flashed a rom or kernel or something else just pushed it out of wack.
Wifi calling like the T-mobile app.

I have to 3rd the request for a very basic clock app like the stock Fassy clock. All it would need is an Alarm, Timer, and Stopwatch.
An added bonus would be to somehow make it use the ASOP upper right clock notification instead of a proprietary icon that would have to be placed in the upper left.

I know there are multiple restore apps out there but I think there's room for improvement. I would like a backup and restore app that puts your phone back basically just like it was before you wiped. Especially home screen setups, also games and what not that you have spent hours, days, or weeks getting to where it is only to have it all go down the tube is pretty frustrating. I can't speak for others but I would easily pay 25 bucks for something like this.

I just want a app to modify a status bar, this would be rather difficult to make I think, start with AOSP ROMS. Or, go the high road, start with mods like CM7.

Full weather animations

Is this no longer an option with sense 5?
And the title should have said full screen weather animations.

No, this has been removed from what I understand.
Tap the Weather icon, and you will be taken to a full screen animation. But, full screen animation over your home screen, that is gone.

That's true, but the sense version felt better. The BW version required you to tap the screen to get it to stop before you could use the phone, while sense would just make it disappear instantly without having to make that initial "exiting" tap

Yeah I know... I don't like beautiful widgets any more... I am hooked with Uccw instead.

There is a way to get the weather animations back but you have to change your wallpaper. Check in Live wallpapers and use the "Weather" one. It's pretty nice actually because it changes for day, night, rain, cloudy, etc. and the animation stops after a few seconds which I assume saves on battery drain. But you are locked into that wallpaper. Hope that helps.

[Q] Is it Possible to get the ring lock from the older sense version of 4.1+

My HTC one is the first of the htc phones i have used to far ( and its not the last for sure ) ... When i got this phone it was on sense 5 version with 4.2.2 android. I have flashed almost all roms and quite happy with it. Until recently i came across a downgraded rom [ROM]HTC new one First sense4+ ROM with Android 4.1.1 by kuaidao ... Thanks for him i got the chance to feel the sense 4 version.... I must say it is an amazing feel of it... I love every single bit of it...It has skins of its own..... more lock screen options and more skins for lock screen... and more than anything... the screen lock is extremely smooth and very helpful,... and trust me its very very very very very smooth.... i just fell in love with... I just don't know why the htc have removed that lock screen and replaces with a naked and more simple lock screen in the sense 5 ..... ... for the first time i was even more happier to have downgraded my sense version from 5 to 4 and android 4.2.3 to 4.1.1 .... everything works perfectly... except few small issues like Chinese language and missing the beats audio...
Now for my request... Is it even possible to take the entire ring lock screen and even the skins and other options and get it on our sense 5 ???? I am sorry if i am sounding noobish... but i am really a noob on these issues...
You can just download morelocal2 and change to your language.. in addtion download keyboard and everything will be perfect..

Delete HTCLockScreen.apk from system apps. You'll have an AOSP lock screen like this.
Backup first though, on some custom roms it causes bootloops.

Yah, I realized that, I have no idea about the old sense ring lock so I figured I'd give you an alternative. Since the new lock screen is terrible, IMO. But I hope you get it figured out. Good luck. Haha

4.3 Lock screen widget bug

Has anyone had problems with the lock screen widgets. I apply a widget but my phone won't unlock. When I swipe to unlock it just go right back to the lock screen. It just loops over and over. The only way to unlock the phone is to swipe on one of the shortcuts on the bottom of the screen to go to app from the shortcut but not the home screen.

Looks pretty bad yeah, I used the analog clocks instead, still doesn't look good. But the problem is the widgets are not clickable. I read something about them not being scrollable too, which may explain why they're not clickable. I'm looking for a lock screen replacement that allows for widgets but no dice yet. Only that ugly lockscreen widget app.

Any widget I used gets stuck in a loop and I can't unlock the phone. I had "battery widget reborn" and when I try to place it even on the home screen it locks the screen and it gets stuck. Maybe it's a bug in "battery widget reborn"?

I noticed to get the widgets to work, you have to drag down on the widget (you'll see a blue box being dragged down,) then you should be able to use it.
I ended up getting widget locker. It's actually pretty awesome. Thanks to HTC's 25 bucks haha. 3 bucks ain't so bad either. Now I have a stock lock screen with better widget support.

I figured out the problem. I had to uninstall "battery reborn" app. It was causing a glitch in the lock screen. My widget now works like it should.

They removed all the different lockscreens. You can still swipe to right screen to add widgets
Using Google music the controls still show up, you just have to be listening to music before you turn screen off. There's even a little circle around the pause button that shows the track progress (unless that's my ROM, but I don't think so)
