[APP] VistaClock - analog clock for E6/A1200

[Chefanim]

Droopy, How did you get 2 running at the same time?

The Same author also posted this today. Its a start menu app, that apears to be based on the same platform. I installed it, and it works..... but its all in chinese.

Where can i find the file startup.txt

I copied these three lines to startup.txt(I got it from google translated page so could be wrong):

sleep 18s
/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/vistaclocke6/clock &
/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/vistaclocke6/calendar &

The clock starts when I boot.

Also, my cygwin TZ setting works in the clock file:
TZ=PST8PDT7,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2

It has the DST dates. I am pacific stand time PST. GMT - 8

The Startup.txt file must be created by you on the root directory of the Transflash/Memory Card. (you could create it with notepad).

Linux as soon as it loads , it will try to locate that file (similar to autoexec or bootup in windows). So, any file there will be executed automatically.

Then, just Copy/Paste this text inside the startup.txt

sleep 18s
/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/vistaclocke6/clock &
/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/vistaclocke6/calendar &

Thats all, and it works great!

Thanks droopy this app is great! Just to say that joystick down locks and unlocks the clock position, when it's locked it's not movable by you. Has vmlinux release a source code for it?

OMFG this one looks amazaing.
Hope to have a english version soon

NO programs have been found so far that work successfully on the A1200 to do the following:

• Display an analog clock

For all the moderators, I think this needs to be changed in FAQ sticky

Edit by moderator: FAQ updated - thanks for the reminder!!

I sent a PM to vmlinuxx to translate the chinese characters of the menu to english in his source code.

If you install 2 times the program, you could have 2 or more clocks working simultaneosly!

There are some .AMR (Sound files) inside the .PKG
Hope someone could clarify if they work or not. Seems that the program "SAYS" the time....

Where can i find the file startup.txt

Like Droopy said with the addition that I told someone to use the startup.txt file in another thread and he did not have the FW hack that used startup.txt.

Also, I found out the TZ=PST8PDT7,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2 setting is called POSIX TZ(POSIX is a UNIX standard).

PST8PDT7,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2

PST   standard time. I am Pacific Standard Time
8       number added to local time to get GMT (backwards from nonPOSIX)
DST   daylight time
7
M      <Month>.<Week>.<Day of Week>/<Time>

US rules are:
    * begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and
    * ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November

See this site for rules. China doesn't have DST so we are on our own.
