Locked Screen Clock App
Hi Everyone,
I've searched around for a clock app that I'm specifically looking for, but to no avail. Here's what I'm hoping for, and sorry if this already exists: When the screen is locked (I have a N810), I would like a clock app that shows a full screen clock when a certain hardware key is pressed. For example, close the keyboard, slide the lock key, and let the LCD turn off. After the screen goes off, you can press say the swap key or the full screen toggle key and a big digital clock display's the time for five seconds, all without having to unlock the device. I think palm's had some feature similar to this. Is there anything out there like this, or would someone be willing to develop such a thing? |

You can install Large Statusbar Clock so it will always show you time guess where :)

Re: Locked Screen Clock App
try it:
http://mikie.dy.fi/maemo/lockedclock.install it's VERY alpha Sorry, I could only map it to power-button, dbus does not receive other hardkey events when the keyboard is locked. The display draw is ugly. "Round" numbers (2 3 5 6 8 9 0 ) leave a bit of themselves visible under "sharp" (1 4 7 ) numbers Hey, I did say it is alpha right? Does the requested job anyway. I will make the clock disappear if any key is pressed or the keypad lock disabled. For now it will display the clock for 5 seconds no matter what you do. |

Re: Locked Screen Clock App
Instead of reinventing the wheel, how hard would it be to use something like mclock instead?

Re: Locked Screen Clock App
I installed it. Thanks.
One thing that's kind of annoying (but its alpha, so I'll manage) is the order of events when you hit the power button to show the clock. First it shows the desktop, then shows the time and date, then shows the desktop again for a little bit, darkens the display, then turns off. Basically it would be nice to go blank screen, clock, blank screen. I'm mostly wanting this to avoid any unnecessary battery loss. But for now, awesome job. |

On an N800 I get the effect you are looking for if I run one of the attached flash files in full screen before I lock the keys...
