I flashed the clock through recovery manually, but it will not show up in my app list. Anyone know why?

Ugliest. Clock. Ever. What was wrong with 4.1 clock?

If I extract these from the zip, can I just move them to /system/app and install from there? I’m running a RAZR HD xt926 and don’t have a custom recovery yet.

weirdest thing about this vs. swype, besides symbols: there’s an extra, empty, blank, black space below this keyboard between the space bar and the bottom of my screen before the capacitive buttons. I wonder if this is on purpose to move the space bar up slightly from the home button when there are on-screen keys in JB.

I don’t think it’ll install on a non-rooted galaxy nexus because it’ll conflict with the AOSP keyboard.

This helped me – the new clock wasn’t even showing up at first until I renamed and rebooted. No FCs either.

Thanks, that eliminated the redundant keyboards.

Two things regarding the 4.2 keyboard in comparison to SWYPE; first, the 4.2 keyboard feels faster and more responsive than SWYPE. Second, I really miss the ability to tap on a word you’ve already typed, while using SWYPE, and switch it with one of the suggested entries. This feature is awesome in SWYPE and it is not present in the 4.2 keyboard. Other than that one thing, I would say the new keyboard is spectacular. Especially having the dedicated Google Voice dictation button. I really hated not having that on SWYPE and having to either use Dragon or switch manually from the input menu to Google Voice dictation.

Personally, I think it is too clean. At least give it some tick marks. I would like to see 4 big ticks at the big quarters and maybe some dots for the other hours.

Actually, I prefer analog clocks in some situations. Like if I have a deadline.

There’s just something about the angle of where the minute hand *currently* is compared to where the minute hand *should* be when the deadline hits that has real meaning to me. It gives me a much better idea of how much stuff I can get done in between.

In the same deadline-driven scenario, with a digital clock, I have to actually *read* the time and then imagine that time on an analog clock. Then I can finally realize how much stuff I can get done before the deadline. Digital clocks make me do an extra step.

The improvement? They added a stopwatch and a timer.

What happens if you install this file on a non-rooted galaxy nexus?
