Fabolous

This little mod does exactly as the title says, it removes the clock from the notification bar. This allows for more notifications in the bar, as well as removes a point of redundancy if you have a cool clock widget

Installation Instructions

1. Download file
2. Place on SD card
3a. Install ROM from SDcard (in ROM manager) OR
3b. Install .zip from SDcard (in bootstrap recovery)

Fab - This is awesome! Worked like a charm! Is there any chance you would be willing to provide zips for reversing the change if we so desire? I know it is just a tweak in the smali file, but it might be helpful for those that are uncomfortable with the process...

Your call, of course... Thank you for all of your contributions to the android community!!!

If I'm going from a battery icon with 20 images to one with more do I need to use the newer stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml files to coincide with the new icons?

That screenshot is of REVOlution for ApeX

Did you get this to work? I was always under the impression that the 10% mod couldn't be done without the source for the framework (which, I guess is out now, but someone smarter than me can figure that out).

androy

Dude, awesome. I've always wanted to remove that clock. Thanks!

Steven58

Fab,

I haven't had time to install your rom 'n theme. Hopefully, I'll get to it later today. However, I do want a black notification bar (I don't like white) and that circular battery indicator.

Does the circular indicator come with your rom? If so, will any black notification mod work or is there a specific one I have to use?

TIA
Steven

I think you can take a stock framework and mod that; I managed to get the 10% icons on zapX's white bar (it was fugly though).

Decompiling/recompiling an already modified framework is the main problem; the 9.png files don't decompile properly without the 9patches. You would need to take a stock framework and incorporate the 10% hack as part of the mod process (which I can't do).

I'm probably wrong but that's my experience so far.

chrlswltrs

I am using BigDX theme, can I use this zip to remove the clock without losing the rest of the theme in the status bar? Also is there an easy way to remove the battery in the status bar?

Fabolous

That's right, this only removes the clock, doesn't touch the theme at all.

I think you can get rid of the battery by just deleting all the images from framework-res, but don't take my word for it.

chrlswltrs

Worked great to remove the clock, now if I could just get the battery removed it would be great

Steven58

Don't answer my question, anybody.

Steven storms off in a fit and moves all the DX root threads to the forum trashcan!!

chrlswltrs

It does not come with the ROM, it is part of a theme

Fabolous

It's the REVOlution theme, with the alternate battery icon. It's all in my post, or on ROM manager.

Airmaxx23

If someone tries this please let me know if it works.

pinhead875

REVOlution theme is great, I love it. I'm doing the battery icon change to round, and removing the clock from the bar! Thanks, Fab!

Steven58

ty: this is 4 u Question for all DX Dev's.

markhamr

Fab, when you get a chance, could you put out a mod to get rid of the alarm clock? I have mine on all the time so it never goes away and is rather annoying. If you're too busy, I'll surely live. Thanks!

t0adman

Easy and excellent. Thanks for another great mod, Fab.

HalfFrozen

Fab really needs a medal or something of that sort.. lol

Ok, I use the battery icon in the taskbar more than I thought. Any easy way to get it back?

jreed2560

how the hell have I missed this the last few days?

pinhead875

Ok I installed the round battery meter and my clock is back.

agi$$$

What set of widgets are you using? I want!

Fabolous

Did you make a backup before installing the mod? If so, just restore that.

If not, then you'll need to find the default services.jar file from your ROM/theme that you are using, and push that over to /system/framework

That'll restore the clock.

------------------------------------

Also, I've just added these to ROM manager, if anyone was waiting on that or cares

antnyh

@Fab

Is there a certain order of installing your .zips. I installed the remove clock zip first and then the circle battery indicator. After installing the circle battery the clock came back. Please advise. I know it is possible since your screenshot shows it that way.

Airmaxx23

You need to remove the clock at the end.

Trooper

Is that beautiful widgets for your clock and weather? If so, what skin?

Thanks!

jreed2560

that would be fancy widget my friend. not on the market, but somebody surely has the apk lying around

SimsDelt

Fancy Widget is my favorite "HTC"-like clock ever. Here is the .apk btw.... my gift to you...

FancyWidget_v1.3.0.apk

I love this lil mod, thank Fab!

Bankswood

medzup, did you use LaunchPro to set all those icons on your home screen. If so how were you able to get 5 columns of icons?

Btros

If you're using LauncherPro, you just go to Preferences, Homescreen Settings, Number of Columns, and you can select how many you want.

Bankswood

I did but it squeezed my Fancy Widget Clock so the number overlap

mxsjw

Click on it and hold, then resize it.

Bankswood

I have Launcher Pro Plus. When I set my columns to 5 it squeezes the fancy widgets clock. I press on the fancy widget icon and it turns gray and does nothing. Am I missing something here.

Trooper

Thanks so much, it looks awesome!

The weather location does not seem to auto refresh though. Is that a problem that comes with the territory?

Thanks!

Hey all,

I can't get the ROM to work. Here's what I am doing, let me know what I am doing wrong.

First: I am rooted
ROM Manager Premium v2.5.0.7

I open up ROM Manager and install ROM from SD card. After clicking on Fabolous_ClockRM_WhiteBar ROM, its ask "ROM pre-installation" (Back-Up Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache, I don't check either and just click ok. Then the phone restarts. Next it looks like the ROM is being installed in the Recovery menu (it only takes a few seconds to install). The phone will restart after the ROM installation is complete. It will start right back up but the clock is still there.

Also from the ROM Manager I have tried downloading the ROM directly though the ROM Manager. I doo everything the same as before and I end up with the same results.

I have got to be doing something wrong, what am I missing guys.

Gareee

I found changing the rows or columns really degraded my phone performance, so I went back to the original default settings.

When I first got my phione, I wanted a ton of things on vrious home screens.. now I'm finding Iwant much less, and use icons to get to things like facebook or twitter, which use battery, and are always upgrading in the background.

Has anyone tried this with the new update released today, to see if it still works?

dwcasey

Will this work on a phone that has only been rooted and not deodexed?

Fabolous

no, it won't, modifications to services.jar require the system to be deodexed.

Also, I'm guessing your info is old, but if you do have a Droid Eris, it wouldn't work anyways

dwcasey

Oops, I need to update that...DX now. Ok, thanks. Think about just going to Apex1.3 anyway, but still playing around with stock.

RonH54

Dumb question here. I have download and placed the folder on SD card. I have ROM Manager but where is the file located that I need to tell ROM Manager to use or what is the file name. This is the first time I have tried to restore anything with ROM Manager. I have made a Backup of my present ROM which 2.1.1 on my Captivate Phone.

Thanks

mxsjw

^ If you have a Captivate, why in the world are you attempting to do anything with a Droid X Theme, ROM, or Modification???
