[APP] Android 4.2 Desk Clock APK
- Thread starter TheDarkDefender
- Start date
The app only worked for me after I deleted the old Android 4.1 clock app. Freezing it and deleting its data still meant that the new clock app crashed (when opening alarms).
Here are instructions for manually deleting default apps: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Barebones

I just followed the OPs Instructions
I did exactly this and it worked. Also CM 10, but newer nightly.
Retro 4.1.2 clock available?
Many thanks to TheDarkDefender for the choice of adding the Android 4.2 Desk Clock to previous versions of Android (4.1, etc.).
I'm in perhaps the opposite situation of those originally chasing this thread. I was happily using my Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.2 when the OTA update upgraded me to v4.2, and then just yesterday to v4.2.1. Other than killing my root access (temporarily), in addition to other system changes, the Desk Clock and lock screen clock changed to one like that you've provided via APK.
I like choice. Sometimes I try 'new' just to be different, other times I prefer familiar or more conservative. I personally MUCH prefer the clock used in Android 4.1.2, but I have no way to go back, short of downgrading the O/S.
Is there a way to downgrade (upgrade IMHO) the Android 4.2(.1) clock to the previous 4.1.2 clock?

Guys!
Here is an awesome app that is way better than this ZIP:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDIxMiwiY29tLm1vYmx5bnguY2xvY2tqYnBsdXMiXQ..
It is a paid version (googl for it) but there is also a free version in market
It's more responsive, has many widgets (digital, analog), more functions and is faster, nicer and better than the one form OP
And there is no need to flash it in CWM

seriously! you've got to be kidding me! For god's sake! Don't you read the OP ! it says :::::
Works on 4.1 AOSP/JB ROMS ONLY
Dude u 2 got 2 understand m running on a JB based ROM thats why only Alarm is getting FC nt the clock....
Your signature showed "Ultimate HD ICS" , the last time I saw. Anyway,replace clock and clear data. I'm using the same rom, don't tell me it doesnt work.
Yeh caz y'day night only i had upgraded to CM 10 ...so after coming 2 office i updated my Signature ......I will remove the clock & will flash the 4.2 clock again
Yes..better. Delete the default clock. Rename the new one to the default one's name. Then delete /data/data/com.android.deskclock ( or clear data). Now reboot. It will work for sure.Yeh caz y'day night only i had upgraded to CM 10 ...so after coming 2 office i updated my Signature ......I will remove the clock & will flash the 4.2 clock again
Many thanks to TheDarkDefender for providing the DeskClock...which it seems several others are eager to get away from. I lost the URL link to this thread, and now on break, I searched to find it again (I seriously do want to replace my Nexus 7 clock 4.2.1 with it's predecessor !)
I located the system app folder, it appears even with root, I can rename/replace the new clock....yet. May have to go in via another route. Got a few days to play with it. And thanks to you, I've now got the file to make it happen. Thanks again, and, Merry Christmas !

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Copy the file to the /system/app folder on your device using a root explorer like ES File Explorer or similar.
2. Then, set the permissions of the DeskClock.apk file to RW- R– R–. However, before you copy over the APK, make sure to rename the original DeskClockGoogle.apk file (and also DeskClockGoogle.odex if the file is present) to something else to back it up, which you can then restore if needed by simply deleting the new file and renaming the old one again.
3. Reboot your device to be able to use the new clock.
If you still got problems, follow this--
Flash the zip. Reboot.Delete the original clock. Rename the new clock to DeskClock.apk( like the old one) Then delete /data/data/com.google.android.deskclock. Reboot. Now the both the clock and widget will work perfectly.

All you need:
- OR wipe Desk Clock data with TB or manually via Settings -> Apps.
- OR manually delete /datadata/com.android.deskclock.

Look at this and try to delete /datadata/com.android.deskclock or /data/data/com.android.deskclock, then reboot.2Working great on my SIII. Here are the steps:
1) Download APK.
2) Move or rename original DeskClock.apk from /system/app
3) Copy downloaded APK to /system/app and rename to DeskClock.apk
4) Set permissions to RW-R--R--
5) Reboot
6) Clear app data in System Settings > Applications > Clock1
