Root [MOD] AM/PM removal

[Fuzzy13]

That's right. AM/PM removal mod. (Still Beta until confirmed working but YOU GUYS!!!!

Note- This is made for 240dpi. Haven't tested it on anything smaller.

I didn't make this mod using conventional methods but it works and it looks right. I guess that's all that matters huh?

- 2 flashable versions. One for any of the ICS themes we have. I used my ICS systemUI.apk for the flashable version. The other is stock #2 systemUI.apk. (Any mods you have made to your systemUI will be lost. Check manual xml installation to be able to keep your current layout.)

Most of you know how bad I wanted this and how much time I've put into TRYING to get this done. All I ask is that you show your support. It took a lot of tweaking and trail and error to get this clock just right. If anyone cares as to how I did it, I will be happy to explain.

Gratz.?

 

[nuttmeg]

you owe me $40. SWEET

I have to wait till the clock reads 1:00AM before I can upload the files. Must check one last thing to make sure.

With that being said I am going to go ahead and create the OP and get ready. The files are uploaded and ready to go.

When I get up at 6, I will check my phone. If the clock looks correct, I will add the files to the OP.


Let's hope it looks okay cause Im excited.

 

[Fuzzy13]

OP updated.

Let me know what works and what doesn't. I dont use GPS and stuff like that so test this out to its fullest and let me know any issues. (Related to clock only)

Everything seems to be work fine. But because my density is 182 I can see a tiny tiny dot from the A in the Am lol

yeah density will change the layout of the clock. being that most people use stock dpi i had to go with that.

didn't want to try the alternate string method? might work.. lol, but good work either way!!

I haven't got that far yet

Do you know how to make the clock font bigger? i tried doing it in the clock.xml and I added a size value but it didn't work.

 

[V SuperUser V]

So you finally got it huh? What exactly did you do? make the AM/PM font really tiny?

 

[Fuzzy13]

So you finally got it huh? What exactly did you do? make the AM/PM font really tiny?

Lol. No.

I basically added a margin line to the clock and added a negative number to push the margin to the right. After that i had to position the clock and push it just enough to hide the ampm. But when i first did it, i set it up while it was 12:xx so all 4 digits were being used. When the clock changed to 1:xx a digit disappears and the clock shifted further right thus cutting off some of the clock.

So i had to figure out a way to keep the clock from moving. When you don't have a margin the icon can only go so far. So by adding and extending the margin i made more room on the status bar, even though it's off screen.

It took about 50-60 reboots and a lot of tweaking values to get it just right.

The ampm is still there, its just off the screen. If you were to make the dpi smaller, eventually the ampm would creep in the screen again.


I am however gonna try and figure out how to make the font size a little bigger and also make the icons sit a little closer together. Make it look a little neater. Lol

I thought you didn't want any parlor tricks? but hey, it works and looks good. Sweet.

Think your trick will work on a centered clock? Lol (Prolly not )

No i didn't want half ass. Meaning changing the font to black or making a custom status bar to cover it up. I didn't want this because that would mean there would be a blank space to the right of the clock. I wanted the clock ask the way to the right like it's supposed to be.

So yes, i didn't want any parlor tricks but only for visual reasons.

Honestly if I said i modded it through smali like it should be, no one would have noticed.

If there is a lot of people that use non stick densities and the ampm peeks out cause of it, I'll make a version for different dpi's.

off topic: have you tried decompiling the lg hidden menu app (is it even "decompileable"?)

Nope. Never had a reason to. What you trying to do?

I tried 190 and it looked okay. But a piece could peek out on a different ninety or time. Give 190 a try throughout the day and see how that goes.

Actually he spent the $20 on a fanny pack/bag (<--?), so he had no other choice but to make it happen himself
