Massive Android scrub in need of help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, well I'll start off by saying this is my first android phone and I am honestly just getting use to it now.
Anyway, I was wondering if there's anyway to actually not have the clock and date on the lockscreen?
My only options are Clock Size : Small -Medium - Large. No option to turn it off..
It's quite irritating cause I just want a clean background with no widgets.
I've tried widgets but am not sure exactly how to use them on lockscreen.
Can someone please help me get this god damn clock of my lockscreen?
AFAIK the phone is rooted, no idea by what root or version either, sorry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Kind Regards,
Bai

Kind regards.
it looks like you only got the background piture. You'll need widgets and icons to make it work. However I'm very new at this so I can't help you

[Q] possible to hide status bar in lock screen?

hey guys. is it possible to hide the status bar from the lockscreen? I'm good with .xml, .smali or any other kind of edit. i just need to be pointed to where I would need to go.
I tried searching and came up empty handed. i'm trying hard to like the lock screen. i already changed the backgrounds (much better now), currently working on a custom lockring, last thing would be to hide that ugly status bar...it's only showing me what the lockscreen already shows anyways.
thanks for the info.
Download the app Widget Locker...U can remove taskbar and also a lot of customization to your style
I'm a big WidgetLocker fan, with my own custom themes made and all that when i was on the Evo 3D. i'm trying to move on with the times and use this nifty sense lockscreen. just has a few kinks to work out.
but if i dont end up fixing it to my liking soon enough i'll download widgetlocker again.
anyone else have any ideas as to how to get this done?
If you go into titanium backup, and freeze statusbar, it will do what you want, it will also remove in regular screen, possibly decompile lockscreen.apk and see if you can do it there.

that is not what I want to do at all. I don't want to make the status bar unavailable everywhere in the system. just within the lockscreen.
if I knew where to go, I can make .xml and .smali edits or whatever else. I just don't know how to search for things from scratch :-(

I'm just guessing, so this could be a useless thought, but... I think checking in idlescreen base would be a good start. You wouldn't probably want to mess with this in system UI because that would likely just hose the whole bar. Team d3rp seems to have maybe figured out making the bar transparent, which would leave the icons and if course be clear everywhere else too... but it's still finicky across the roms, so not quite done yet. pstevep is the man, and maybe could help? See what you can find and then maybe send him a pm.

bump, bump, bumpity bump.
any way to do this?
i would say edit lockscreen.apk (decompile and fish around) and also look in a androidpolicy.jar probably some lines of code your could remove/add to make it happen.
clever idea by the way. i am still trying to resolve issues with my idea of clearing notifications from the lockscreen by double tapping the home key. had it figured out for a little bit but it was causing apps to force close :/
again i like your idea... i probably wouldn't use it myself simply because i wouldnt be able to see important details or notifications etc without unlocking the phone

[Q] [REQ] Remove Brightnessslider/disable status bar on lock in creatue

Hello everyone,
i'm using creature Rom from Neme77.
Nearly everything is perfect for me, but two things i would wish to be changed.
I asked Neme77 for some modding but received no answer
So i try it here, maybe someone is bored or interested to help me out, because i'm not good in editing apk.
The first thing is this annoying brightness slider in the notification bar.
I don't need and i don't want it, but found no way to get rid off it searching the internet.
As i read already this is a question of modifying the framework.res.apk of the rom so maybe the easier thing of both.
The second thing is, that i'm using the stock lockscreen of 4.0.3 with the option swipe to unlock.
Unfortunally it is possible to pull down the statusbar if swiping to unlocked is picked.
So sometimes i do accidently in my pocket and change things in the toggles what annoys me a lot.
I use the swipe method because i lick the ticker and weather option on the lockscreen, so just changing to pattern, pin or facelock isn't an alternative for me.
I think this has to be a little bit more difficult to solved, but in my thoughts the answer still ist in the lockscreen.apk(???) because it is disabled if you use pattern, pin... so maybe just a copy/paste of the options of that methods?
I would to be glade to see someone help me with this.
Thanks.

[Q] Is it possible to make a widget from an action in settings?

Hi! I just made the jump from jailbroken ios to android (Samsung s7, not yet rooted) so forgive me if my question appears naive! I'd appreciate any pointers you could give me. Here goes:
Is it possible to make a widget that can directly toggle on and off a default toggle in settings?
For example, in [settings->accessibility] there is a toggle to switch Mono Audio on and off. Is it possible to create a widget specifically to switch this action on and off, that I could use much like a torch/wifi/data toggle widget on the homescreen?
I see an old XDA thread hinting at the existence of a Mono Audio Widget. That sounds like exactly what I want!! But I can't find it.. any ideas??
Thanks in advance!
Slightly disappointed to get no response.. is this not possible or just not interesting? Or did I post in in the wrong place?

damn..
I used to know about something regarding this and sadly I forgotten.
In cyanogenmod roms,u can simply edit tiles and layout.
It helps u to add or remove toggles.
But in a non-rooted s7,I'm afraid u cant do that(I guess).
Btw,
in last two months, I found xda Q/A section is dead in a way.
Search box and xda assist seems a little more helpul.
Regards
