[APP][4.2+] Chronus: Stylish Clock, Weather, News, Tasks, Stocks and Calendar widgets

dschreiber69 · Mar 12, 2013

OK - This is great!

Will there ever be an option to show clock, weather and calendar appointments when minimized? Please please please :highfive::good::laugh:

For me this work with a fresh official PAC (in normal DPI, without any mod)

Normal dpi on ace is 160. You sure the lockscreen is set to 160 and not to a custom value by default on pac rom?

To less space on lockscreen for all 3 of them in mimimized mode. But maybe an option for clock and weather or clock and calendar is possible.

Because of work security, I can't use lock screen widgets. Is there an easy way to replace the AOSP system clock widget with this one? Thanks!

my settings are a phone layout to 360p / cLock to 160dpi / all other system and user app to 160 dpi / navbar to 0% / lockscreen, statusbar, sytemUI to 160 in build.prop and 155 in hybrid properties (but it's the max, and dpi changes for those three are every 10 dpi = 155 < 145 < 135 <... so I suppose 160). Waht do you think about?

I remember when I was on 4.1.2 that we could show all three. Granted it was a entirely different lockscreen, but there was more than enough room to show all three. Is there something in the stock 4.2.2 lockscreen that prevents it from using more space? Seems like there is a lot of wasted space between the clock/weather widget and the unlock circle.

There is not enough space to show all three, unless you don't want the clock at all and that would sort of defeat the purpose of a widget called cLock. It is a limitation we have to live with.

LDPI? Are there even 4.2.x LDPI devices? In short the answer is most likely "no".

Unfortunately not. Even if there was, it would defeat the purpose of making the device secure in the first place.

The lock screen implementation in 4.2 is completely and utterly different from 4.1 and cannot be compared in any way, shape or form. I agree that there is a lot of wasted space but that is how all minimized widgets show.

Additionally, the cLock widget is not the same as the old lock screen weather and calendar implementation in 4.x - it looks the same but was completely redesigned to support the new 4.2 widget functionality.

Blame Google.

Of course..although not official but who cares

Has anyone run into an issue where the calendar text is cut off? Example screenshot as attached.

I am using PACman HTC DHD rom adn when I've replace the Lockclock.apk in /system (of course I do change the permission) after reboot nothing do change. Have I to rename Lockclock.apk to chronus.apk and put it in /system. I am asking becouse custom settings support clock widget on chronus.apk
So?

I understand that, but at the same time there are other ROMs that use a widget like this as the default clock. This may boil down to a difference between 4.1.x and 4.2, but I was hoping you could change file names or something to make this widget into the system clock widget.

I care. I will not be spending time adding and testing code for unsupported platforms. Sorry.

Why are you installing it the way you are? Did you read the installation instructions on the first post? I said nothing about copying to system and setting permissions.

Install it like a normal APK

The secure lock screen turns off widget support on the lock screen altogether - what you see is the built in lock screen clock. Its not as simple as changing file names.

So I would have to go into the ROM source code, alter the system clock, and recompile? I was hoping it would be more modular. Thanks for helping me understand the setup!

Yes, I have read that info.
The problem was I had lockclock.apk in /system folder, but ok, I solved this.
I've just delete that app from /system and install Your app like a normal app.

Now the problem is I have chronus.apk and lockclock.apk install together and they use that same single menu and I can create clock widget on loockscreen, but not in main screen. ;]
I want to fix it somehow, but I don't know how...
To be clear, the custom menu in PACman settings supports chronus.apk and lockclock.apk as one app.

by the way , Thanks :good:

Delete Chronus.apk

Yep, I did it.

We have to choose, chronus on main screen or cLock.apk on lockscreen .

Chronus = cLock - it the the exact same widget, we just renamed it to cLock almost 2 months ago. Delete Chronus and use cLock for both lock and home screen.

I understood You clearly, thanks for Your support.
Finally everything works.
- I've delete chronus & lockclock and then make reboot, install normal your app, next reboot and succes, everything working pretty good!

I like the font colour properties and possible to have event in calendar in 4 next weeks!

Thanks for everything!

Important notes:
- DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON CYANOGENMOD 10.1, IT IS ALREADY INCLUDED
- This will ONLY work on Android 4.2 and greater

Okay.. Wait, what? Isn't cyanogen mod 10.1 android 4.2 version?

or this is for stock ROMs with android 4.2 only?
