The clock is Beautiful Widgets (also on the market)
after you download it just add the widget and select the setting to change the clock skin to "Droid Flip". (A quick way to find it is to sort all the clock skins by Downloads) "Airportone" is another really good clock skin

Does that flip style clock have a flipping animation when the time changes? Just curious.
 
Been running for a few days now. After moving some apps back to internal space for performance reasons raptor is running much smoother than velocity did on my phone. Also running turbo set to 748 and running stable. Medium-heavy use I get prob 10+ hours of use.

Next step is a class 6 or class 10 card.
 
Had been running great for me and now im stuck in a boot loop at the android screen after leaving on barnacle wifi tether until the batt died. please help. Thanks.
 
I cleared the cache and switched back to Velocity V0.3 with a successful boot. Then I switched back to Raptor and it did the same thing again.

When you went back and installed Raptor a second time, did you clear cache & dalvik cache again after you installed it? Also, Also, did you try clearing the ext partition?
 
Went from velocity to Raptor and I wont ever go back. I have nothing against velocity they both look cool but raptor runs smooth for me where velocity did not not much difference other than the look and preformance both easy to flash (with a little help) it went flawlessly great rom cant wait to see what its gonna look like after the update.
 
FYI The After Office thing didn't work for me at all. The notes say to Activate Office and then install the After Office.zip in recovery mode. The problem I have is you can't activate Office to begin with.
 
When trying to install kernel4raptor it opens in rom manager is that right or do I extract it some other way
 
One thing that i would like to see is an expanded dock the one from LauncherPro is awesome an update to that would be sweet would make the rom complete for me.
 
I love the rom but there is one big issue I'm having. The cool looking green outline in textboxes is percentage based so in some applications like MailDroid that display emails you are composing plus the previous thread in a large textbox a very large portion of the top of the textbox is completely black and eventually faded green. So you are basically typing in a black box where you can't see anything you are typing unless you bring some other window to the foreground to disable the effect.

That being said, this rom definitely improves the responsiveness of the Ally at stock speeds over Velocity 0.3 overclocked for me and it doesn't reboot several times a day which is nice.
 
How do you wipe the apps to sd partition on your memory card

Well You go into recovery and Wipe ext Partition.
However you want to be careful when doing this.
You typically would be wiping the cache Dalvic and doing a Factory reset all at the same time. This clears the phone back to a stock Rom of whatever rom you are using.

example: If you were using Velocity this will bring you back to a stock Velocity state. Provided you didnt push any apps out.

I guess I need to ask what it is you are trying to accomplish?

Typically you wouldnt wipe the app partition (ext Partitition) without doing the others and having some system to put on such as a Nandroid or Rom
This will leave your ally with a bunch of green blank icons of all the apps that use to be there.
Plus it will not delete the part of the apps that still reside in the Dalvik.

hope that Helped. Hope its not clear as mud.

edit: you could also repartition the drive. The same result as above will ensue though.
 
well tha thanks alot i will try that. i just wanted to try raptor because i just keep getting kernel panics all the time and i think its not loading because i wasnt able to wipe the sd card partition
 
And I've been trying to restore my phone back to stock but i really dont understand that "reflashing the stock rom " page.

So i would want to delete the partition that i made just to where the apps save to the phone memory
 
As soon as I downloaded this rom I haven't been able to go back to velocity. I can't download any file it. Just says "this file is not supported on this phone". I have tried everything! This rom is so difficult and I want velocity back. Why can't I download any file?!
