Status bar clock - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Is there any way to remove the clock in the status bar on Nero V3?

I wonder if removing the reference to the clock in the arrays.xml file in the framework-res.apk would work? Chances are its not that simple. Why dont you want a clock?

I know I use Beautiful Widgets so having both clocks is redundant, but I live with it. That being said, if I could remove it easily I would.

Why not just use a different launcher? I use adw ex launcher, which can give me the gingerbread look and get rid of the status bar. I haven't noticed any extra lag either.

I am using adw.ex and I also use clock... so yea.... having redundant times bother me.
I want to see my status bar for circle battery mod and other notifications. I hate seeing the clock up there.

been looking for this too... anybody?

I'm guessing it wouldn't be that hard to get rid of it, but I think you might just have an empty space where it used to be afterwards. You'd probably have to edit some XML files if you didn't want a huge waste of space on your status bar. I could be wrong though. I've never heard of anyone wanting to do such a thing. Do you guys just play with your launchers all day? You've never been in an app like the browser and been curious of what time it was? I think it would be a pain to exit an app every time I cared to know what time it was. To each his own I guess.

You could just lock the screen check the time instead of exit then unlock the screen and go back into what ever you were doin

You can try making a metamorph.

I'd just like to remove the AM/PM notification, ala Gingerbread, as this is the single most common element of the UI burned into the LED screen (probably since it's the most static).
Anyone have luck with this?

The statusbar clock is in the services.jar file. You'd have to know how to edit .smail's to take it out. There is a writeup on the EVO forum. Not sure if it can apply to the Galaxy S.

best way to keep the notification bar hidden

question in title
i know launcher pro does this but when you open up an app (like handscent sms) it shows up again.
is there any app or anything to remove the notification bar universally?
I use the zeam launcher. That has an option that almost always hides it. Hope that helps.

so does Launcherpro, i was hoping there's some sort of individual app just for removing the notification bar?
im prettyed used to launcherpro and would prefer to stick with it
I dont know of a way to do it in apps, but if you want it gone on your lockscreen as well, I use Widget Locker to accomplish this as well as place a bunch of widgets Im always using right on my lockscreen

damn, i guess our phones just aren't meant to not have the not. bar.
only reason i'd like to have it gone is so I can further depend on widgets, just for the hell of it.
zeam launcher does it for me all the time once i hide it its gone in any app i open

[Q] is there away to get shortcuts in the notification bar

I never seen this so i was thinking if there is a way to get app shortcuts in the notification bar?
Beqouse when im in a app i want to swich fast between apps i use allot.
Now i need to close the app to start a other one.
So i realy hope if there is a way
Try SwipePad from the market.

Or hold the home button to bring up a list of last used apps.
You could make a new quick option button that opens an app.
by modding an old one
pvy.
i realy hoped that its whas modded already.
Swipepad is not what im looking for.
Holding the home button wil shut down the app and then i need to start a app again.
And go back to the other app so it wil not help.
I can't mod i dont have any knowledge about linux, app making or modding.
I realy hope some body can make this working beqouse i realy think others are searching for this option to.
Folder Organiser does that!
Also QuickLaunchBar might come in handy for you.
thats not what i mean.
thanks all for thinking with me.
But i realy mean shortcuts in the notification bar.
But i gues its not possible or not modded yet.

Spam in my notification bar

Is anyone else getting these spam adds showing up in there notification area saying things like you've won an Ipad and such. They show as a plus symbol when the status bar is in its regular position.
I want to find out how I cab prevent these spam notifications from occurring. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have them too. I think mine come from an ics theme I got for go locker. I love the theme so I deal with them, but they are very annoying. Sometimes porn ones too - not cool. If you find out anything let me know.

find the app that is causing them and uninstall. these background spam ads use up a bit of much need battery life =|
That's the hole purpose of this post. I don't know which app is causing this so I was hoping someone else does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector and run it on your phone.it will show you which app is causing the adds.
I know 'easy uninstaller' by info life and 'mp3 download' with the red circle icon gave me spam on the notification bar.

Yes Thank you I got it fixed now.

Animated pull down bar?

I have mikrunny rom is there anyway to get a animated pull down bar background? Thanks
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
The hell are you even asking for exactly?
I've seen it before a long time ago like the background on the notification pull down was animated
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
I actually remember when this first came out when I was back on my Epic 4G. When you pulled down the notification bar the background would be animated. Like a live wallpaper. I haven't seen it mentioned much in awhile. I THINK the battery trade-off kept it from being that popular after the initial "wow factor".
Yea I haven't seen anything about it I've been searching I had it before a long time ago

uot kitchen offers this but everytime i try and flash a zip including this i get tons of force closes including notication bar. Its not much help but maybe someone can figure it out.

You have to edit that in systemui.apk, if you contact a themer I'm sure they would do it for you, but it may not be free, I will do it for you, let me know what it is your looking for. I know that BAMF forever cubed rom has that in the rom, but that's for the tbolt, but it could be ported to work on your phone, and that I have no idea how to do, but I know someone that knows how.
Let me know what you want in a PM

[Q] Remove text from empty home screens

Hey, this is really just a minor annoyance, but does anyone know if it's possible to remove the "tap the + above to customize home screen" message from additional empty home screens? This might not be an issue specific to the Optimus G but it's the first time I've noticed it... and if it is possible, could someone instruct me? Thank you.
P.S. I already did some searching around... I tried adding icons to the screens and then deleting them, but the message reappears.
Also, I tried deleting the screens altogether and making new ones... no luck.
You could use a different launcher
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, that's an idea, thank you. Usually I hate stock launchers... but actually I don't think there's a third-party one that can compete with LG's stock on this phone in terms of aesthetics... I'm familiar with apex, nova, holo and the like... on older phones they can be a great improvement, but on the e970 they all seem like taking a step backward tbh.
Anyway to get rid of that text while staying with lghome?
You can try to find a completely transparent widget and add it to the home screen. But other than editing the lghome apk, there is no way to do it thought the included features of the launcher.
EDIT: Tested it out for you:
download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.acw&feature=search_result
Change all the colors to 0 alpha
Disable all text areas
click save and you can't even tell its there.
Try using apex launcher, it is extremely fast and customizable. I'm using the monochrome icons with Xperia wallpaper.

How did you get the clock in the center? Are you running The Base?
That's correct. I also like the scroll and animation speed settings you get with nova launcher it has to be as fast or faster then the stock launcher.

That was nice of you, thanks. I'll try it with the widget, but actually you hit the nail on the head... I think what I'm really looking to do would be editing the ui somehow - I have previously taken the lghome apk and extracted it to look around... but I'm thinking it may be beyond me to do what I want. I have a feeling it's going to involve editing the xml files somehow, but I'm not sure... any ideas on where to start looking?
EDIT - Okay, added attachment just for clarity. There's really nothing on the web about this particular subject that I've been able to find. Maybe no one cares/all use third party launchers. If I knew where to look or what files I needed to edit, I could probably muddle through with a combination of common sense and web tuts unless this situation is going to require something like smali editing or whathaveyou, in which case I'd have an easier time trying to get my Beagle to give me the answers to the meaning of life and world peace.
