In recent releases of manila HTC introduced feature that forces digital clock to go back one hour and two minutes to play animation everytime you display home screen.

Some people like that while others don't. So if you want to get rid of this unnecessary animation (leaving `standard` flip when time really changes) here is the way:

CAB method
Simply download and install cab file corresponding to your manila version.

ZIP method
Download modified file for your version of manila (see below).
Disable TF3D (or HTC Sense) in Today settings.
Backup file you're gonna overwrite in next step (just in case;)
Unpack downloaded file to windows directory on your device (replace original).
Enable TF3D in today settings.

If TF3D doesn't start within few seconds, do a softreset.
If TF3D still won't start, restore your original file.


2.1 WVGA: ZIP CAB
2.5 WVGA: ZIP CAB
2.5 VGA: ZIP CAB
stock AT&T Tilt2: ZIP CAB


Notes:
I'm not a flashing freak, so the only rom i tested it myself is TESS, therefore i cannot guarantee it will work on your device. However i see modified files spreading around forums and many people says it's working.
If you're unlucky and provided file doesn't match your manila, you may still try to patch yours with my online patcher (still experimental)


buy me a shelby gt 350 ;]

Thanks Empeka!
I can confirm it works for Touch Diamond 2 with duttys HG1 ROM and manila 2.5.
Great job!

I think we have to specify that this files are for WVGA devices, no?

Ah, works great on my Topaz with Dutty's HG R0 (Manila 2.5). Many thanks mate, that animation was really annoying! :)

Oha, without this animation the system consumpts less memory... now, with your mod 49% of RAM is used, before it was around 53-55%. Great! :D

Small bug

While the time was changing from 10:31 to 10:32, I powered off my HD and again I turn it on.
The clock was stuck in the following state, until time changed to 10:33.

I'll keep that in mind if i ever update the way it is patched;)
but for now i don't consider it critical and so you'll have to live with it ( i suppose you don't reboot too often ;p )

It is true that I don't reboot too often.:rolleyes:

Meanwhile, you are right that it is not a critical bug, we can live with it.:)

Anyway, thanks for your patch :), it would be nice if you could update the way it is patched.;)

Hi Empeka,

Thank you for the fix.
The clock isn't flipping anymore great! :)

I'm using Manila 2.5.

Grtz, Leo :)

Tested on EnergyRom on Sprint CDMA touch pro. It works, but it kinda screws up the rain animation for the first few seconds. Some of the rain drops that are supposed to appear before the wiper clears the screen are missing and the animations get a little laggy. Other than that, it seems to work fine.

Edit: After watching the animations a few more times, i noticed that the raindrops aren't missing. The problem is that they don't fall onto the screen in the rain animation, they just pop up onto the screen.

    a very nice user (Don't remember his/her name) posted an edited version of the manila file that let's you change the enabling and disabling of the clock flip through the registry. I simply put it in a cab for you.

    Code: 
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisableMinuteFlip"=dword:0 ;0 to enable minute flip 1 to disable minute flip
"DisableDoubleFlip"=dword:0 ;0 to enable hour and minute flip 1 to disable hour and minute flip

    Upon installing this cab, you should get the flip clock back. Changing the registry entries should disable it.
