Does anyone have a way to change the analog clock to digital?
Thanks
solution
Hi.! Yes,there is a possibility for this...firstly, you must download the :"Manila 2D customizer" from a link reported in the "hacking & developement" section of this site (see on top of the main page), and install it on the Opal..after, also in this forum's section, you can find a lot of Skins..Clocks, icons etc...so, when you have find and choose it, download the.zip file that you want, and copy it in the "theme" folder (collocated where there is installed the application; you will find a folder with this name) and after, open this application. secondly you should make a backup of the original theme installed by HTC (this application allow you to do this action. Check the last tab) in case you want return back of the original status..after that, you can go on the step 3: return on the "Theme" section, select the name of file that you have copied and click on "Apply theme" and wait...during the installation the program will ask you if you don't want make the changing also for Weather tab and another point..don't make a tick on this two point, and press continue...finally the TouchFlo will restart automatically, and this procedure permise you to change the skins without soft reset the PDA!
In addiction to this operation, you can change a lot of other parameters as: colors & fonts of tabs, browser internet, the parameters of the main page (ex. if you don't want the analog clock, on the digital clock) etcc...
good luck.!!
if you have problems, contact me
Thank you for your help
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. Will try it out over the weekend.
It "almost" Worked. Thanks for detailed instructions.
However, The digital and analog clocks both appear. If I disable the analog clock, the layout of the digital clock is totally disturbed and its useless.
any idea why?
instructions
yes i've an idea...have you downloaded the Van_de_bosh clock.? if yes, firstly you should modify manually the HTChomesetting.xml in the Windows folder of Opal..(so connect it on the PC, see and click on top bar of the PC folder Utilties -> folder option-> select the Visualization tab and after click on "show folder's and hide's folders", then apply). secondly enter in the Windows folder in PDA (wait if is slowly the loading, don't worry the PC can appear freeze for a few second, but don't close the folder)..after serch the "HTChomesetting.xml" and copy it on the desktop..So open the .zip and here you probabily find a .txt file. open it. after you will see some strings that you will copy into the file on desktop..when you have finish all steps, take this "HTChomesetting.xml" and replice the old file into the .zip..after try to install this skin package on PDA i know, is quite difficult but , when you have understand the procedure all become simply
If you have problems contact me
Thanks for the reply. However, I just found an updated version of M2DC which "fixed" the bug with digital clock placement. I tried it, and yes, it works like a charm
I made a little file where u can drag'n'drop files u want to install on ur phone.
No need of any settings.
When your phone is allready "adb ready" you dont need to have anything running.
Just take the apk File and drag on the exe and it will install. thats all.
perhaps i'll add more features soon. i made it for myself, to install the apk's faster after a full-wipe i made.
In Windows7 and Vista, it needs Admin rights (so it asks when starting) and AFTER its done, it gives an error. But it works how it should!
so don't worry
PS: Doubleclicking it won't do anything! Its Drag'n'Drop only!!
Another one by me
copy and paste the following into a file and save it on your desktop as install.bat (or whatever you fancy)
@echo off
adb install %1
pause
Then drag and drop files onto it, or associate apk files with install.bat and double click an apk file and will install to your phone.

What do u want to say with ur post?
Did i made any question? i think not, so what r u explaining and for WHO??
It's just what i made in my "tool".
Made little bigger better Tool with 5 Options now
if anyone wants it, its at the bottom.
Now u can install apks, uninstall non-stock apks, push and pull files to & from /system/app/ and reboot ur phone.
ahhh, and not it wont make any errors or need for "admin rights" when starting the tool.
Works like a charm and now it has an Sketched android in it ! Yeehaaa
your program (the install part) doesnt really work. it doesnt install. i found that making the batch file was better.
hmm ok, thats weird. for me the new tool works perfekt.
And it IS a batchfile, i just merged the needed files from adb and the .bat file to one exe file. thats all.
do u get any error when trying to install ?
You do drag and drop the file to the exe and choose install apk, right?
Geeze, are people these days so lazy that they can't move their hand off the mouse? Just type the command!!!! Its easy... "adb install {file.apk}".
You know, back in the dark ages of not very long ago, NOBODY had a mouse. Or drag and drop. EVERYTHING was on the keyboard and involved typing commands.
If you guys want and you are running Windows, check out our app. www.androidmanager.net ... we added feature for installing apk-s by double-clicking few days ago
This tutorial is for lollipop & marshmallow rom users only !
Works with or without Root !For making apk's for kustom live wallpaper app only !
The apk's should run on any ROM 4.4 upwards
Newbie Friendly !
DISCLAIMER
I, in no way take responsibility for any damage you may cause to your phone by following this tutorial as ApKTOOL app is capable of accessing your system folders and thereby you changing or deleting something you shouldn't,
That said the instructions I give do not use any system locations, so if you follow them properly you will be OK!
Welcome to my tutorial for making apk's for kustom live wallpaper ( klwp ) on your PHONE.
Please don't be put off by the length of the tutorial, its IMHO very easy to follow and I have tried to write it in such a way that anybody can follow and understand it and have an end result without too much head scratching.:fingers-crossed:
No major knowledge needed, just the skill of being able to navigate around your phone files and being able to follow instructions as is, and finally, the ability to revel in your own glory for making your first pc-less apk. :victory:
Top tip, (as if you didn't know this already)
Have this tutorial up on your PC whilst following it, no keep swapping between recents on your phone then.:good:
I would like to thank @plegdroid AKA Pete Nolan for introducing me too and walking me through the stages needed to use ApkTOOL :good:
If your making apk's for personal use to share from a cloud I.e. dropbox etc, you do not need to use zipsigner as the ApKTOOL app can sign for this kind of sharing.
Apps and stuff you will need to download for this 'magic' to take place are...
ApkTOOL, download here (github link here).
Klwp sample apk, download here
Komp sample apk, download here
Android asset studio (launcher icon generator) link here (bookmark this !)
Droid edit, play store link here
Zipsigner (only if you want to publish to play store), play store link here
Photo Editor (if you don't already have one), play store link here
!!Do not install ApKTOOL or klwp/komp sample apk's yet, please wait for instruction to tell you to do so!!
Sounds like a lot to do, right?....
Setting up everything up the first time takes a bit of time, But once you've done it, and got used to the fairly simple instructions, you'll be making apk's in MINUTES on your phone....
FYI.
I deleted and uninstalled all associated with this tutorial so that I could write the instructions as a person following this tutorial I.e. installing the apps first then writing the instructions step by step as I went through each stage, thereby hopefully getting them as clear and succinct as possible :good:
There is a thread for ApkTOOL here for kitkat, although it is a general thread as ApKTOOL can do much more than just make apk's for kustom, but please don't post on this thread about it as I don't use it on kitkat and only use it for kustom, so if this interest's you please post your queries there.:good:
Also as this is my first "proper" tutorial, I would really appreciate any feedback...
How easy it was to follow.
Any problems you had.
Conformation that it worked for you
Suggestions
Etc.

Let's get started, move on to post 2.
Installing ApKTOOL
And getting things ready
Using your file explorer for steps 1, 2 and 3..
1, Make a folder on your sd card (internal memory, not on micro SD) and call it [highlight]Apktool[/highlight].
2, Move [highlight]ApKTOOL.apk[/highlight] to the folder you just created and install [highlight]ApKTOOL.apk[/highlight], (If you can't install the ApKTOOL.apk, then goto your phone settings select security then check allow unknown sources, then install ApKTOOL.apk again.) when its finished installing press open, it will then ask you to install an update, install the update and when its finished press done.
3, Also move [highlight]klwp.sample.apk[/highlight] and [highlight]komp.sample.apk[/highlight] to the Apktool folder you created in step 1, [highlight]BUT DO NOT INSTALL THEM[/highlight].
4, Go into your app drawer and open [highlight]ApKTOOL[/highlight] app.
(If you are rooted open the three dot menu top right of the screen, press settings, scroll to the bottom and check the root option, there's no need to really do this, I do just because I can :laugh
5, Navigate to [highlight]sdcard[/highlight] then the [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder you made earlier,select it, now your screen should now look like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6, Click on the [highlight]klwp.sample.apk[/highlight] and pick [highlight]decompile resources[/highlight], leave it to do its thing for some moments (sometimes up to 40 seconds), once complete you should get this on your screen...
Press OK.
7, Your Apktool folder should now have the decompiled apk called [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] in it and should look like this...
Now thats all set up, lets move onto next post
Making your asset (launcher) icons
These are the small pictures that show on people's phone's when they use klwp app.
You can skip this post if you want to use Andi as your asset launcher icon..
he comes as default.
Note..
Also if you already have a ic_launcher.zip from previous apk's you have made then you can skip straight to step 5.
1, Firstly using a photo editor, make, crop or resize a picture to a size of [highlight]256x256[/highlight], it can be whatever you like a photo, an image you've made or just text on a background, remember it will end up small though so too much detail may be hard to see and if making an app for playsore be considerate of copyright laws etc..then save it.
2, Goto Android asset studio (that I asked you to bookmark in post 1) In your browser, and click the word 'image' near the top of the page, this will then give you the option of choosing an action . Navigate to the image you made in step 1 and pick it..
3, The Android asset studio page should now look like this, but obviously with your picture .
You can play about with the settings on the page if you like, but I just leave them the way they are.
4, Press the download zip button, this will then put the zip in your downloads folder, it will be called [highlight]ic_launcher.zip[/highlight].
For steps 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, use your file explorer.
5, Go into your download folder and extract the [highlight]ic_launcher.zip[/highlight], once extracted open the folder which will be called [highlight]ic_launcher[/highlight] and then open the res folder and delete the [highlight]mipmap-xxxhdpi[/highlight] folder as this is not needed. Copy the other 4 '[highlight]mipmap[/highlight]' folders.
6, Navigate to your [highlight]sdcard[/highlight] then open your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder, click on the [highlight]klwp.sample_SRC[/highlight] folder, select [highlight]res[/highlight] folder and paste the 4 '[highlight]mipmap[/highlight]' folders you copied, in there.
7, click on [highlight]mipmap-hdpi[/highlight] and copy [highlight]ic.launcher.png[/highlight], then go back into the [highlight]res[/highlight] folder and click on [highlight]drawable-hdpi[/highlight] folder then paste the image you just copied, you should get a prompt with options , choose overwrite.
8, Copy step 7 for the remaining 3 [highlight]mipmap[/highlight] folders, taking care to make sure you copy and paste/overwrite from and into the correct folders
9, Now delete the four [highlight]mipmap[/highlight] folders (not the drawable folders, which I did once and had to do the whole procedure over again ) and exit your file explorer..
Suggestion.
If you are planning to make ultra fast apk's as detailed in post#7, then use a default ic_launcher pic I.e.your avatar that way you can use the same launcher pics for all your apk's and can skip this post
Right, that's the boring bit over, Let's get to the cool geeky bit and start building ..
Building your APK
[highlight] Due to changes in the way that klwp saves your wallpapers or komponent you now need to rename your klwp/komp file with a .zip at the end either before or when you place them in the assets folder [/highlight]
Use your file explorer for step 1
1, Decide which [highlight]klwp zip/s[/highlight] (yes you can add more than one) you want to make into an apk, you can find these in your kustom/wallpaper folder, copy the one/s you want and navigate back to your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder and select it, then click on [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] and then select the [highlight]assets[/highlight] folder, then select [highlight]wallpapers[/highlight] folder , paste the [highlight]klwp zip/s[/highlight] you copied here, (you will see a [highlight]read me[/highlight] file here also, it just tells you to put your wallpaper zips in this folder, [highlight]delete[/highlight] it), exit your file explorer.
2, Open [highlight]ApKTOOL[/highlight] app from your app drawer and navigate to [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder and click on it then click on [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder select [highlight]browse[/highlight]
your screen should now look like this.
3, Just to check you zip is in there click on [highlight] assets[/highlight], then click on [highlight]wallpapers[/highlight]
And your screen should look like this, with one or more zips (obviously your zip name will be different)
4, Navigate back to your [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder, then select [highlight]res[/highlight] folder then click on [highlight]values[/highlight] folder then click [highlight]strings.xml[/highlight], you will then be prompted to open with, pick the [highlight]droid edit[/highlight] app you downloaded from post#1.
Your screen should now look like this.
On this screen only edit (with your app name and description )what is written in WHITE, Using only text and numbers you may also use capital letters and spaces...like so..
If you delete anything else by accident, unless you know what your doing I suggest you exit droid editor and start from step 4 again.
Once edited press the little icon I've arrowed on the left of the option ribbon.
And press [highlight]save[/highlight]
5, Navigate back to your [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder, then click on [highlight]AndroidManifest.XML[/highlight], again you will receive a promt and again open with [highlight]droid edit[/highlight] and edit (with your app name ) ONLY what I've highlighted in next pic.Use lowercase text only and no spaces.
So it looks like this
Click on the little icon I arrowed earlier and press [highlight]save[/highlight]
6, Navigate back to your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder and click on [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder, select [highlight]recompile[/highlight] if you have done everything correctly you should get a pop up that looks like this..:fingers-crossed:
Click OK.
7, you should now have an extra apk in your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder called [highlight]klwp.sample_src.apk[/highlight] with ( if you have made one) your own launcher icon..
Click on your new [highlight]klwp.sample_src.apk[/highlight] and pick [highlight]sign[/highlight] you should then get a pop up like this..
Press OK
Then you will notice another apk in your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder called [highlight]klwp.sample_src_sign.apk[/highlight] if you long press on this apk and select [highlight]rename[/highlight] you can then name it the name of your app but don't forget to leave the [highlight].apk[/highlight] on the end..(if you are using the apk for the play store, don't rename it yet this will happen in following posts). Like so..
if you want to go onto the next stage and make the apk play store ready, then keep the [highlight]klwp.sample_src.apk[/highlight] otherwise you can delete it.
8, you can now test your newly built apk by installing it, either by clicking on it now and selecting [highlight] install[/highlight] or installing it the usual way you install apk's, its also ready for you to share via your favorite cloud etc..
Note....
To make a komponent/s apk follow the same instructions from post#2 step 6 but instead use the [highlight]komp.sample.apk[/highlight]. (But obviously copy your komponent zip/s into the komponent folder in post#4 'building your apk, step 1.
Suggestions...
Do not delete the decompiled [highlight] klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder as this can be used for making ultra fast apk's as detailed in post#7.
If you are planning to update your app then leave the finished apk in the [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder for ease of update (copy it somewhere else for backup if you want, though).
Making your apk play store ready.
1, Using [highlight]ApKTOOL[/highlight] app, navigate to your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder, click on it then select [highlight]klwp.sample_src.apk[/highlight] then from the menu list select [highlight]zipalign[/highlight]. You should get a pop up like this.
Click OK.
You should now have a [highlight]klwp.sample_src_zipalign.apk[/highlight] in your [highlight] Apktool[/highlight] folder, as below..
Exit [highlight]ApKTOOL[/highlight] app.
2, Open [highlight]zipsigner[/highlight] app from your app drawer, press the 3dot menu on top right of screen, select [highlight]my keys[/highlight] from the menu list then press the 3dot menu again and select [highlight]new keystore[/highlight] scroll to the bottom of the new page and click [highlight]continue[/highlight] and fill in the form like so..
Note.You can change the directory if you want but I use my internal storage (sdcard0) then after I have finished all the steps to register my keystore I find the keystore file on my sdcard0 and copy it to my sdcard1 (external storage/micro sd card) as a backup.
Click [highlight]continue[/highlight] then fill out the next page like so..
Obviously I have blacked out my key name/alias, it is 'cert' by default but you can change it if you like and for the key/verify passwords make sure you use the same one that you entered on the previous page, don't change anything else on this page unless you understand what it means. Press [highlight]continue[/highlight].
On the next page leave the defaults as they are (unless you know what your doing) and fill out the form as per the instructions (I just put my name and country code I.e.GB (GreatBritain). Close [highlight]zipsigner[/highlight] app.
3, Now we can sign your new apk...
Open [highlight]zipsigner[/highlight] app again, and press underneath the [highlight]key/mode[/highlight] option which will bring up a menu and amongst the options will be either [highlight]cert[/highlight] (if you didn't change your key name/alias) or your new key [highlight]name/alias[/highlight] (you may have to scroll the menu to find it. Then select it.
Next click [highlight]choose in/out[/highlight] this will bring up a page of folders select [highlight]Apktool/[/highlight] then select [highlight]klwp.sample_src_zipalign.apk[/highlight], your screen should now look something like this..
(I have blacked out the key/mode as its my alias and you may not have the word 'emulated' in your file names that's just a quirk of my old galaxy s3 i9300 I think )
Click [highlight]sign the file[/highlight], you will then get a pop up screen asking you to enter your keystore password, enter it and press OK. You should then get a toast message saying [highlight]file signing operation succeeded![/highlight]
Note...
For future apk's that you make you now have you keystore and can skip steps 1 and 2. :good:
4, last bit ......
Open [highlight]ApKTOOL[/highlight] app from your app drawer and navigate to your [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder and open it, you should now have an apk called [highlight]klwp.sample_src_zipalign_signed.apk[/highlight], like so...
Long press on the [highlight]klwp.sample_src_zipalign_signed.apk[/highlight] and select rename from the menu, then rename it the name of your apk remembering to leave the [highlight].apk[/highlight] on the end (and you can delete the other stage apk's now if you want, just long press on them and select [highlight]delete[/highlight])
like so...
[highlight] Your APK is now ready to publish to the Play Store.[/highlight]
[highlight]Voilà [/highlight]
Suggestion...
If you are planning to update your play store app then leave the finished apk in the [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder for ease of update (copy it somewhere else for backup if you want, though).
Important notice
If you are publishing to the play store and you are using other people's klwp or komponent ,as is or altered,
Please ask for thier consent first ....
Especially if you are publishing it as a PAID app.

Lastly long press on the [highlight]'your app name'_src_zipalign-signed.apk[/highlight] select [highlight]rename[/highlight] and rename it [highlight]'your app name' V1.1.apk[/highlight]
[highlight] Your updated APK is now ready to publish to the Play Store.[/highlight]
And Hey-presto..
Make personal apk's ultra fast!
Now everthings set up we can make personal apk's I.e to share via cloud (not play store) by just changing zips and XML's.
Using your file explorer for step 1.
1, You should already have a decompiled [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder in your Apktool folder as per suggestion at the end of post#4.
Copy which kustom wallpaper you wish to apk next, from kustom/wallpaper folder. Navigate to [highlight]Apktool[/highlight] folder,open it then click on [highlight]klwp.sample_src[/highlight] folder, then [highlight]assets[/highlight], then click on [highlight]wallpapers [/highlight] and paste your copied wallpaper here, then [highlight]delete[/highlight] the previous wall (unless you wish to keep it in the apk)

What a great source for reference this is, as well as one of the best tutorials I have come across! Great job buddy.
Steve, corkin Matey, love your writing style, and thank you for the Playstore signing guide. And yes I will continue to help if needed ?

Cheers Pete, your comments mean a lot..
Your welcome (play store signing)
And I suspect yours and @rkucheran 's tech help is gonna come in useful as you've both been using this method far longer than me.
Thanks again mate :good:
Right, so ive spotted my first (and hopefully only) mistake. I've updated post#4 'building your apk', instruction number 1, where I ask you to paste your copied wallpaper zips into your asset folder , there is an extra step and very important copy the zips into the wallpaper folder within the assets folder....
Sorry about that....
