[Q] How to remove alarm clock icon from statusbar? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I've searched around and couldn't find a how-to for the sg3. I have an alarm set for every day of the week and don't like seeing the icon in the statusbar.
How do I go about removing the icon from the statusbar?

I don't think you can unless you root your phone. The icon is there to let you know you have an active alarm.

ya my phone is rooted, i was able to decompile the systemui.apk, just have no idea what to edit.

Easy does it
You can do less drastically - schedule those alarms as calendar events, and they won't show in status until time comes. You will lose smart alarm functionality

I too, hated seeing that alarm clock since I have a daily wake-up alarm. I ended up installing this free app called Alarm Clock + which allows you to control whether to put an icon or not.

[Q] Strange Icon on Notification bar

Hello
I'm on the perooted version of gingerbread for my X2. I have the normal horizontal battery inditactor, but between that and the clock, I have what looks like a vertical battery outline with a check in it.
What is it, and how can I remove it? I'm assuming its some sort of vestiges of Motoblur.
Thanks
Marshall
its the icon showing that there is an active alarm set
Sounds like the alarm icon... turn off any alarms see if it goes away

yeah, the genious that thought the little clipboard with a checkmark on it was a better clock icon than the froyo icon needs a performance review...
That was it! Thanks everyone.
Who the hell thought that that icon was appropriate for an active alarm?

blur alarm on JB...?.....

Just went to JB. The only complaint I have is the alarm....Has anyone made a APK from the blur alarm that will work on JB?

What's wrong with the built in alarm? Unless you can't find it like I couldn't at first. LOL. Hit the clock app in the app drawer. Then there is "Set alarm" You can access it from there or just use Google Now to set one.

There was an alarm clock named Blur Alarm in the GB and I think it was beautiful. It has a slide to dismiss function for example what I can't find any other third party app...
Timer
Has anyone been able to locate timer in the JB build. Seems to be missing from the stock clock app

Widgets on Android

Just how many of you droid users use widgets and do they serve you or phone any benefit to your usage.
Also what ones do you use.
And use i have an s3 and use some widgets.
I think this should belong to the android general forum... But I may be wrong.
Anyhow, I only use widgets that actually make my life easier. For example, the bookmarks widget saves me time to browse webs I often use. Metoffice gives me the weather on my home screen, and other toggles like flashlight and turn all sounds off can be done via the home screen without venturing into the abyss of settings

Quite a lot, I suppose. Except those who worry too much about their battery lives.
My widget-setup is pretty basic: big clock screen on the home page, google now toolbar, music player widget and a forecast widget.
Music player on homescreen (big) and lockscreen (small), calendar widget to check / edit upcoming events, UCCW with camera + clock / alarm settings + favorite contacts.
I just got one widget on my home screen which is the calendar widget (agenda view), not because of any battery saving, just because I do not use any others.
My music is controlled via headset (as I only listen over it), my profiles (loud, vibrate alarm etc.) are controlled via tasker, the clock I can see in the notification bar, controls for WiFi, Bluetooth etc. are in the notification drawer.
I would even say that I use the notification bar much more than I ever used widgets.
dont use those things a lot.
Great benefit...
Facebook, Twitter (Android pro widgets)
G+, email (stock widgets)
Calender (jorte widget)
weather clock (beautiful widget)
System tuner pro & Battery pro widgets
Audio control widget.
Using Greenify and temasek CM10.1 ROM and kernel. Battery life is way better than any Sammy ROM

Here is my setup!
Can you please tell me which music widget is that?? Looks awesome!

I'm mostly the standard big clock with weather, music player, search bar and full screen S planner. Been tempted to throw a flipboard one on though.

I don't use them at all. Everything what I need I have in status bar (weather and any.do) or in folders on dock. I'm enjoying my wallpaper

[Q] Help! Disappearing alarm clock icon?

I'm rooted on ME7 using safestrap and hyperdrive 10.2. For some reason when I have my alarm clock set (alarm clock plus), every once in a while my alarm clock icon will just straight up disappear and at times has caused me to wake up late.
I may have pinpointed it to my using 3rd party launchers (it happens when i use nova or apex), but id still like to use one of them as my main launcher. I've searched up and read about the 'stopping the clock app and deleting data/cache', but that only works temporarily for me. Has anyone else had this problem?

Default clock not showing remaining time while setting alarm.

Hi, I am using realme 2 pro on latest Color OS stable update.
This issue/lack of feature had been since day 1. There is no remaining time popup from alarm clock like it is there in default stock google clock or MIUI clock or any other ROM clock.
Whenever I set alarm for a particular time, the clocks in all other phones/ROMS says the remaining time until that particular alarm. But there is no such notification/pop-up coming in default clock of Realme2 pro and I desperately need it.
Installing Google Clock was the solution that I thought but it gets cleaned out whenever it goes in background and then alarm will not work on time as google clock is not running.
Hence need the option in default clock itself.

You can try to go to recents, when goofle click is in foreground. Then swipe the app downwards, you will get a lock app option . Once locked app wouldn't clear from background further you can go to app info and go to power saver option and select allow running in the background.
