Why is it so hard to find, yet create, such a clock face. It was a a no brainier on the pebble and I understand the moto360 has such a watchface (at least the dual time part). The closest I have come is to use WatchMaker but I cannot overcome a few obstacles:
1. My local time, which course never changes, needs to be fixed to my local location. The best way I figure to do this is to assign my local location to one of the extra time zones, say location 1. Issues: I can only express the time in 24 hr format and the weather will be tied to the GPS location of the watch/phone.
2. My second time can be tied to another extra time zone, say 2. Again I can only get the time in 24hr format but I at least get weather at my location 2 since it is tied to the GPS.
So a compromise might be to live with the weather only in my current location but I would prefer a solution to use 12 hr time. Any solutions.
I know this is about a year old, but just ran into the issue myself. I used a custom script to solve the problem. Unfortunately, you have to hard code the time zone difference, although I'm sure you could get a lot more involved and use manipulation with the different time zone hour tags. But this is how I customized it to use a LUA script to hard code the timezone in. For example, if you're 6 hours apart...
({dh}>6 and {dh}-6 or {dh}+6)..":"..({dm}<10 and "0"..{dm} or {dm})
Hopefully you can make sense of that. Essentially you're using an if statement to say if the hour is greater than 6 subtract the 6 hour time difference, if it's less than 6 then add 6 since subtracting would give you a negative number. In LUA an IF <x> THEN <y> ELSE <z> turns into <x> and <y> or <z>. Also .. is the string concatenator, and unfortunately, {dmz} which is the minutes with leading zeros tag gets truncated when you treat it as text, so I used a second if statement to add back in the leading zero if necessary.
You'd just have to adjust the 6's in my example to match your respective time zone, so 3 hours would turn into...
({dh}>3 and {dh}-3 or {dh}+9)..":"..({dm}<10 and "0"..{dm} or {dm})
i was looking for a solution that used the time zones setup on the application instead of a hard coded one. I didn't find one, so I wrote my own script:
(string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) + 0 == 0 and "12" or string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) + 0 < 13 and string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) or string.sub("00"..string.sub("{tz1t}",1,-4) - 12,-2))..":"..string.sub("{tz1t}",-2)
this one does a two digit hour and a two digit minute by manipulating the time from the timezone tag provided by watchmaker. if you want timezone 2 or 3, simply substitute the 1 in {tz1t} with the 2 or the 3.

hi all,
As I said in another thread, I'm happy with my Diamond although there some aspects that could be fixed in an hypothetical ROM release. (I don't know if HTC tech people visit this forum...)
I've been playing with the Diamond for the past 6 days (with a couple of hard resets in between) so, for now, here goes my wishlist for some improvements:
GENERAL
- speed improvements in the TF3D use, instead of us having to patch it up with registry tweaks (for crying out loud, this is a 528MHz processor!)
TODAY TAB
- choose the number of appoinments to be displayed
- option to show appointments for the next xx days
WEATHER TAB
- alphabetical index to choose country and city, instead of having to scroll it all the way down
- ability to choose other cities besides the ones listed
- ability to reorde/sort the chosen cities
- the weather program should use the '5 day' data to display if no updates are made. also the sun/moon should be displayed according to the local time, not the time the last update was made
- show local time for the chosen cities
that's it (for now). feel free to add your own wishlistB
regards,
I'm looking for a winmo replacement for a Palm app I used called Stop3Watch. This program allowed you to time 3 vehicles at the same time, and would log multiple laps for each vehicle. The program also allowed you to input a track length in miles and then would display average speed based on lap time. Is there anything equivalent for our Touch Pros?
If you just want a stopwatch you can try SPB Time.
Here's a simple stopwatch, created by one of XDA's members, Ageye.
It's called G-Watch:

There's another called StopTime I found just the other day...
Apparently it's a somewhat old app, but was created so using your fingers to start and stop is quite easy. Not only that, but you can have several timers going at the same time (up to 4).

Anyone know of any countdown timer software that will allow me to set 2 countdowns to do Tabata intervals?
A tabata interval is 20 seconds of exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest.
So you set 1 timer for 20 seconds, another for 10 seconds, and they countdown consecutively. You do this 8 times and you have a grueling 4 minute workout.
Anyone know of any Windows mobile/Raphael software that will allow me to do this?
Thanks.
I don't know of a software already set up for that, but you could write a simple mortscript that would count and then play a tone at the end of each interval, set it all in a loop to run the number of times you want(8).
Here is a java tabata timer.

An option
Hello!
A couple of months ago I created the attached application. It is as simple as ugly, if I would have more time I would create a better GUI, but it is doing what I wanted and it was created for me
It requires .NET framework 3.5
Delayed start: 1..10 seconds to put down the phone and prepare for the first round
Reps: number of cycles
Beep/Vibro: It plays \windows\default.wav file and/or vibrates when the ongoing interval is elapsed
Time1..Time4 four timer each can be set from 1 to 100 seconds, and cycle is 1-2-3-4
So for a tabata set reps to 8, time1 to 20 and time2 to 10, delayed start is optional
Hope you will like it.
Regards,
KZD
The application as is, please backup regularly, responsibilities are not mine, etc.
Will try it as I really need one ...
Thanx a lot ...
Well it's exactly what I needed
I'd like some advices about wich tools to use to develop and ... would you share your code to enable me to try and add some new functions (select sound, save parameters etc ...)
Nice - I am on vacation and need a way to keep my CrossFit workouts going while gone - this should help nicely. Thanks for sharing!

Here it is. Please inform me if you achieved anything with it.
And sorry about the delays, i did not check this tread for a while...
the government has decided to continue to use DST this year but Microsoft's Time Zone related updates for WinMo are very much lacking since last year (when DST was first introduced in Pakistan).
i didn't want to manually advance my device clock by an hour because it has "dirty" side effects when you connect to ActiveSync and for SMS timestamping and whatnot...
i knew a tool exists for modifying time zone information for DESKTOP windows so i decided to search for something similar for WinMo...and i came across this:
http://pdconsec.net/blogs/davidr/archive/2009/03/30/windows-mobile-6-1-and-australian-dst.aspx
(you will find the download link in the above page...see also the note below in this post)
i'm only posting this new thread to share how i used the above tool to properly set the DST policy on my device (ROM info in signature)...because it wasn't as simple as i thought!
1. the first step is to ensure that your time zone is selected properly (GMT+5 Islamabad). i think (not sure!) it is also important to enable "Automatic change time zone and clock" in Settings->Personal->Phone.
2. it seems that before you can use the tool, you must set the device date and time BACK so that it is several minutes BEHIND the point in time when DST takes effect. this year, DST took effect at 23:59:59, April 14th, 2009...that is, JUST BEFORE April 15th, 2009. At this point, the clocks move ahead by an hour to read 01:00:00, April 15th, 2009. so i set my device date/time to 23:50:00, April 14th, 2009 (a good TEN minutes behind the DST transition date/time).
3. now run the tool and it will automatically populate the GUI with the settings stored in the registry for the time zone selected in Step 1. alter the DST section so that it starts on the SECOND TUESDAY OF APRIL AT 23:59 WITH A BIAS OF -60 MINUTES. remember to commit your settings to the registry.
4. assuming the ten minutes that you bought yourself in step 2 were enough and you haven't transitioned into April 15th, 2009 while you were performing Step 3, soft reset!
5. after the reboot, you might have a few minutes/seconds to spare...be patient and let it transition into April 15th...then at the transition point, WinMo will pop a message box informing you that DST has been enabled!
6. now set the date/time to whatever is the correct time.
for people having DST issues because Microsoft hasn't pushed the latest updates for WinMo, hope this helps!
cheers!
NOTE/EDIT: i've attached the tool in this post. i did some background checks and it was developed by a user by the name of "Galina" and posted in this thread:

i've updated the first post and have attached the file
also note the reference link i've updated at the end of the first post if you're interested in some more information about the tool and reference links to the microsoft timezone specifications
its working on my Touch HD also Thanks for clearing
i had this file but i was unable to make it work .
but it only works if clock is taken back to start of DST time
but can not understand why BAIS is set to -60
it should be +60
but any way its adding 60min to clock that does not matter >>>>>>>
Thanks a lot for this post. I implemented this today. I think the DST update was successful but all my meetings and appointments in the calendar moved ahead by one hour.
I guess i have to manually change them.
Hiya,
I'm tweaking some bits of my xperia and one aspect that's bothering me is facebook sync cyce. The default figure (2 hours) is too short, i.e. if it refreshes every 2 hours it obliterates my monthly data cap. I was wondering if its possible to push this figure up to say 5-6 hours?
I found the key Facebook.LeadTimeOfEvents within the registry in HKCU\Software\People - default value is 30/1E. Is this the key I need to modify??
Thanks for any help
