ICS Lock screen status bar - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok ive tried it all Go launcher ex, launcher,pro ect but they only seem to be able get rid of the status bar in the homescreen and not the lock screen.
So my question is are there any apps for ics that would get rid of the status bar on the lockscreen ?

No, probably not. You can try installing an alternative lock screen that gives you the option of doing this, however.

App Request.- Am/Pm burn in fix

i have noticed that the Am/Pm bar on the top of the screen starts to burn in, it would be great if somebody could make an app that would move the Am/Pm bar around so everybody's burn in's dont get any worse
I believe changing fonts every now and then could take care of it. I know it's not whast you asked for, I guess it would just act as a bandaid for now.

Zeam let's you do this as well and it's what I recently started doing. Another option might be to use a 24 hour clock. Not sure how much that would really help though.
If they have a way to black out the battery how come theres no way to get rid of the clock or black it out I dont use it anyway

devs for the verizon fascinate found a way to remove the am/pm from the notification bar. probably the main reason they removed it on the nexusS lol we could look into how they removed it.

Murse thanks for the suggestion! I went and downloaded Zeam from the market and it's an excellent launcher which also allows you to hide status bar! And it's free, no ads! Thanks again buddy!
edit: Ok Zeam only removes the status bar from the home screen. Open the browser or any app and the status bar reappears so not useful for hiding status bar. Also live wallpapers freeze intermittently while running Zeam. Is a good launcher despite those shortcomings.
Removing status bar entirely will probably require a different rom, not an apk.

Do you have a link to something pointing to where they changed it. I am working on a mod that will allow you to change the color (like in cyanogen mod) and even hide time and/or am/pm.

i dont remember the link but it was a services.jar edit commenting it out.

Yes. I am working on a mod (for Nero3) that takes the "settings" features from cyanogenmod, so you can show/hide the time, show/hide am/pm and change the color.
I have the code in place in the services.jar, and let me tell you, that is no easy task... and I think it is "sort of" working. when I flash the modded services jar, I have no time, but i also dont have the signal strength, and battery. which is also part of the CM stuff.
I started creating a "custom" spareparts app, that is based on the CM one (it only has the time / status bar stuff). but currently i have been unable to get it to display the time or any of the other status icons.
I am not sure yet what the problem is. It could be because it is not signed as a system app, or it could be that I am missing something in the services.jar.

How to hide status / notification bar

On most apps the status bar on top just wastes 5-10% of the screen height.
Is there a way to hide it ?
In this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080243
I read something but that is more for developers.
Is there an app or other trick to hide theis bar and to use the full screen ?
My Galaxy is rooted.
ADW ex launcher.
Most 3rd party launchers will do that, but I bet you miss it once it's gone

Have to admit that that's true
Didn't think I would, but...
But having it back without the clock via Revolution ROM is even better.
I tried ADW Launcher, but can only hide the status bar in the home screen like in Go Launcher.
But when starting an app (in most apps) it reappears again.
What I mean is hiding it within an app.

[Q] Couple questions about UKB 1.21

Hi guys,
Apparently I'm not allowed to post in the dev forum, so I figured I would ask here. I had to get rid of the JB lockscreen because I just couldn't use it with having to unlock first and then answer the call. I have the Sense lockscreen now, but it doesn't have any of the apps, which I made sure was enabled under Personalize. The other issue I have is that the notification bar is transparent on the lockscreen, but black on the home screen. Not really a big deal, just more cosmetic. Other than that, nijitsu has done a wonderful job with this rom and I can't wait to see what future releases bring.
Thanks,
Steve
Are you using the sense launcher or nova/apex? You need to put your apps in the sense dock to show on the lockscreen.
As far a notification transparency, that's how it's built.
I assume you have it de- sensed? Only the sense Rosie launcher will support the transparent status bar.
Also that it's your problem with the lock screen shortcuts.. it pulls them from your Rosie launcher bar

Ah, I feel like such an idiot now, lol. I installed the Rosie, but I never opened it. After I took Nova off default and went into regular Sense, the lockscreen icons show up now. As far as the transparency, I think I will wait for that UKB specific mod to get updated to 1.21 and give that a try. I used another mod and it messed with using the power button to reboot (phone automatically reboots with no options).
Thanks for the quick replies guys!
widget locker solves this problem
Using in desensed with widget locker and this makes it possable to answer phone with out unlocking first, phone rings and will display the call screen.:good:

Can I change the status bar icons on the Verizon variant of the phone?

I would really like the stock Android status bar icons. My main gripe is that 4g/3g takes up a whole other icon instead of being combined into the cell signal. Any chance of modifying these without root?
This is always my complaint on Verizon phones. They insist on messing with the icons. I have not figured out anything yet, besides using a material status bar app from the play store, but the problem with it is the status bar will not go transparent on the home screen with Nova launcher. Once we can get Andromeda or Substratum support, it opens up a whole new world.

So close! This lets me enable/disable various status bar icons but not change them. Thanks though.
Found it! An app just called Status. Transparency on the homescreens only works if you have a non-live wallpaper tho.

Cool, thanks. I was really hoping to avoid just overlaying the system status bar, but that might be the only way unfortunately.
