Im trying to change one of the simply widget clocks to show a seconds progress bar, because i moved the battery progress bar to my app drawer. Im not completely new to soft modding and i picked up on zooper and themer pretty quickly however the progress menu's are kind of confusing i thought i found it in calender but that didnt work.
I had an image but this being my first post xda blocked me.
...
So no one knows how to make a circle progress bar show seconds counting down?

Hi,
we recommend using the Zooper section for questions like this. You can use this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/themer/zooper
Good luck!

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.
LauncherPro lets you hide the statusbar on the homescreen.

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
egc-r2+voodoo jl4+jl4 modem
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.

im using the 24 hour clock now so it doesn't get worse but i think that will be a temporary solution
would love a way to get rid of the am/pm, in the notification bar.

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.
Just wondering if anyone can hook up a transparent status bar
Also for the sake of not starting a separate thread does anybody know how to add a default gallery such as quick pic to greyblur? Im talking specifically about the camera interface on the bottom left.
Clear status bars, while possible, don't work so well. This is because most apps have a background image and if the status bar is clear then you will see that image beneath it. So if you build a theme with a clear status bar that looks good on a home screen it won't look good in other places. Also when pulling down the notifications shade you see each part of it behind the status bar as you pull it down, which also looks weird. That said, if you'd like to see for yourself you can pick out one of my themes/ports and Ill make you a version with a clear status bar.
As for the gallery app question, have you tried clearing all your defaults? Try going to Manage Apps in Settings and clearing the defualt for gallery or gallery++, which ever you use.
thx for the reply. it seemed to work well on my old desire z but i see your points.
As for the gallery, i tried clearing all defaults but it doesnt work
Maybe try freezing the gallery app you dont want in titanium backup?
tried that too. all that does is just auto close the gallery and not fill it in with the new one.

I have it done on my phone, the issue with overlap during notification dragdown can be overcome with xml tricks in framework-res.apk. It depends on your firmware how well that goes. But as a starting point, all you need is to change a statusbar_background.9.png in framework-res.apk to be transparent. It helps if you run it through apktool to do the 9 patch stuff correctly. layout/statusbar.xml is another thing you'd want to mess with for the font colours, and there are a few one liners edits in services.jar for the clock colour, and transparent dragdown.
Cheers!
Whats the xml trick to have the pull down not show until beneath the status bar?

Weird, maybe rerun the deodex zip? To refresh all your apps. I'm just guessing now.
yea im gonna try this again.

For the Bell stock firmware I just made the date background wider (fill_parent instead of fill_content) and used a non transparent png. Soon as you start dragging, the date's background covers up the transparent statusbar. Other firmware have a different statusbar.xml setup with the carrier up top instead of the date, haven't played with it much, but in theory you can do the same thing, for the text for the carrier, make it fill_parent, and set a different background. One caveat is that the market messes with the statusbar somehow, so it's fragile/buggy.
Cheers!
Hi,
I am looking to get my battery percentage showing in the status bar, instead of the normal battery icon. I do not want to use a widget for this, because you can only see that on the home screen - the status bar is viewable even when you are in an app. Typically this involves editing framework-res.apk which is possible now that we have root. If someone can help me out with this I would give them many thanks!

Yes, but then I have 2 battery indicators. I want to get rid of the old one in that case
Wrong area sorry
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
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
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?
Hi, first of all I don't know if this goes in q&a or theme/apps, but here goes:
attached are two screenshots of my current setup. Obviously I'm going with a very stock KitKat theme.
I would like to have a flashlight widget that sort of fits into the theme of this. Semi transparent like the google search bar or something. I know I can use uccw but wondered if anyone knew of a standalone app/widget.
Would also like some sort of battery indicator since I don't like it in the status bar. Maybe something like a simple line across my screen? also following the theme ideally. Don't care to know exact percentage so it doesn't have to have the number with it. jusy something easier to read than my status bar.
I'll also share how I am set up if anyone is interested.
Thank you!

Might try Team Battery Bar for your battery indicator. Download from Play Store. Not sure on the torch widget.
