Hello,

Is it anyway to put analog clock on front home screen?

Thank you!

There sure is. All you have to do is long-press anywhere on the homescreen you want to put the analog clock on and select Widgets on the pop-up menu that shows up. Then just select Analog(ue) clock (it's called Analogue Clock on my phone) and you have an analog clock on your homescreen. Then you can move it wherever you want just like you would any other icon on your homescreen. Hope this helps!

Yes.  I have put the BBC clock on mine.  Search for that in the Android store, and download it (it's free).  There are various other analogue clocks that you might prefer.  Long press on the home screen until the 'Add to Home screen' box appears.  Select Widgets and then BBC Transparent Clock, or whatever else you choose.

There might not be room for it on the home screen, so you might need (or want anyway) to take the digital clock off the front screen first.  To do that, press and hold the digital clock on the front screen until the dustbin appears at the bottom of the screen.  Drag the digital clock to the dustbin and it will disappear from the front screen.  If you like, you can have different clocks on the three different bits of the home screen, so repeat the above as necessary.

Hope this helps.

Yup. I use the Hero Night Clock widget on my homescreen as well as the stock analog clock widget (I have 7 homescreens via ADW.Launcher for Donut and I alternate between those two clocks and the digital clock as well). But certainly look around on the Market for clocks that suit your tastes, there are plenty around.

Excellent.

That I don't know.  I just stick to the Android market, because I'm afraid of screwing up my phone!  I have heard good things about www.getjar.com, though, so you might wish to look at that.

Just occurred to me that, if you have access to the Android Market, lots of the supposed reviews of apps are really no more than spam from people pimping various sites for downloading stuff for Android phones.  Many of them say that the stuff is free.  You'd need to watch out for anything dodgy, of course, but it might lead to useful sources for various apps...
