Ever since my watch broke a few months ago my Nokia N82 has taken over the duties of my time checking. But I need to see the time from any screen, not just the homescreen. I went on a while goose chase and found a solution called FreeTimeBox.
I knew there was already an application called Timebar, but this app was unsigned. I hate dealing with unsigned apps so I’ve been on the lookout for one that you can install without any problems. This is where FreeTimeBox comes in to rescue us. I’ve had it installed on my N82 for a few weeks and have come to rely on it. Great thing is this application is already signed!
For some reason I cannot take screenshots for examples, the time doesn’t show up on the image after I take it. Below is how it looks on my Nokia E71…
If you’re wondering why I’m not showing you how it looks on the N82 it’s because I took the picture with my N82. If I try to take a picture of the N82 with my E71 it looks like utter crap. E71 camera sucks. Right now the N82 is the only good camera I have.
Say you don’t want the time to show up on a certain application. For instance it automatically shows on the homescreen. Obviously I don’t need that. Go into the settings and you can “blacklist” certain applications. To find this setting go to Settings > Time Display > Black/White List Apps.
You can also configure the position of the clock (if you want it on the top that works too!), which pre-installed font is used, the font size, color, bold, italic, opacity, background color, seconds, time format, and a whole lot of sync settings. I’m unsure exactly what the sync settings do. Maybe sync the timezone of your N82 with the current location? I don’t use this feature.
