Fixed 4.2 Clock Widget for Android
Update: I am aware of the issue with the settings application crashing on 10 inch tablets and I am looking into it.
This is the Android 4.2 clock widget, but with the entire time displayed in Roboto Light. It can be used as both a launcher widget and a lockscreen widget.
To use, select "Fixed Clock" as the widget from the launcher (to add it to your homescreen) and/or the lockscreen (to add it there).
There is also a "Fixed Clock Center" widget which additionally vertically centers the widget in whatever space it has available.
This will NOT change anything simply by installing. You must add the new widget manually.
A Daydream is also available.
You can also configure the clock font to be Light, Regular, or Bold and configure the date and alarm to be Condensed Bold, Condensed, Light, or Regular. You can also make the date and alarm all caps or not. You can also choose to never show the alarm.
If you like this app and think that it is worth $1.99, a donate version is available.
Starting in Version 1.2, you can configure a color for the clock, the date, and the alarm. A preset list of colors is available to everyone and those who have the donate version can select from a full color palette for each.
Makes no difference to the clock display.
Great replacement clock widget. The bold hour and regular minutes of 4.2 is just weird looking. This fixes that quite nicely. If used on the lock screen the alarm info updates, but if it's used on the home screen (at least in Apex launcher) it does not update until one of the widget settings is changed.
Just installed it. Seems to work fine. Wish I had this for the clock itself instead of just the lock screen. I truly HATE the new clock look, and wish the Android developers had left the old one in place as an option for people with a sense of aesthetics. Bright white... mixed bold font = hard to read.
I like the widget, works good. Only downfall is I can't use this if I disable desktop widgets. And the default takes over.
Does what it has to. No buggin', no troubles. If anyhing, I'd add an option so you could hide the date as well.
there should be options to change font.. to that of the ICS (if no copyright issues).. also the mention of adding shadows would b great to. The alarm does update, just takes a while to... also would be nice to have the possibility to add am/pm to the time as well. So 4* until any of the mentioned r taken into consideration in the next update :)
Hate the new 4.1.2 clock so I really appreciate this fixed version. Great customisation options too. Thanks!
This is the first app that came out and fixed the "Bold" new look of the Android 4.2 clock widget. It works great!
One of a dwindling number of apps that neither wants nor requires any permissions whatsoever. Ahh... :)
This is a life saver for OCD
I wish Google would stop changing things without making the changes optional. This widget gives me the options I want. Love it.
please add an option to bolt only hours, like the original 4.2 clock
The 4.2 clock sucked, so this is still great
Works well as a like-for-like replacement for the default digital clock widget, with some font/colour customisation to boot. The widget is a more reasonable 4x2, instead of the default's excessive 4x3, which is the main reason for installing.
I think Google went too far with the ugly bold font (too thick IMO) and this app does what it says on the tin.
Does not seem to update the alarm information.
Excellent, these options should come with the stock digital clock. Great work!
Good! It would be even better if it allows user to add shadow (and shadow color). This is important because for white background the white clock is difficult to see, and other clock colors does not fit the background.
This app does exactly what it says it does, and I have had no problems with it so far. Fixes the ugly stock clock widget.
Thanks for giving us a no bs widget without silly ads or bloat. You are the man.
Just installed it. Seems to work fine. Wish I had this for the clock itself instead of just the lock screen.

You have just performed a grand service to your fellow man. This goes a long way towards helping to restore the Nexus 7 from the horrific mess they made of the UI
works perfectly, as described, very robust. If mixed font styles make you cringe, you're going to want this app.
Does exactly what it says without being bloated with other features.
Wish that you could customized the color and size for when you it Daydreams.
Too small on 1080p screens, love this, but please fix
Is there anyway u could put a font tht is the same color as the other font on the phone? Kinda stands out like a sore thumb and white doesn't contrast enough to see....if fixed definitly worth five stars!
Right on! And, thank you.
Thanks, much better looking than the new Android 4.2 bold theme.
Solves an enormous eyesore from 4.2, easy to install. Thanks!
So much better! Running on my Nexus 4 and 7. Love it.
When i set my alarm i've moticed i have to go into fixed clock app to for it to update my alarm time. Something that should be done as and when i set my alarm normally.
Thanks so much for making this widget!
Thank you so much. My N7 looks good again.
For this to be a perfect replacement of the original clock widget, it should also include the multi-clock, multi-time-zone config. Other than that it is good.
Can't complain. Brings back the non bolded hour clock which looks a lot better.
Finally a fix for the retarded off centered lock screen clock from the ever so stupid 4.3 "update"! A great design and a simple fix to this Samsung 4.3 update eyesore! Thank you for this fix!
It is irksome, to use the word, 'DONATE', (Donate, which has the connotation as being done without any extra benefits being given to anyone who, [does or does not donate], (for the whatever). /// { To entice, lure, and pull a person into giving you money for the enhanced version, is called, 'SELL', not 'DONATE'! /// Please be real, honest, and clear, and make your app the same for all, or do not use the word donate as you are for the enhanced version of this app, *thanks. ....... 5 stars when you ......
Just updated, and thats the only eye sore i noticed. Nice work!
