[Q]How to Edit Lock Screen Clock? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm actually embarrassed to open this thread but I'm baffled so looking for some help from LG vets. This is my first LG phone. I see all the adverts showing a vertical clock on the lockscreen, hours over minutes. I have a horizontal clock widget on my lockscreen, hours on the left, minus on the right. I want the vertical clock widget, hours on top of minutes. I looked in widgets, not there. I tried to resize the widget on the homescreen, won't resize to that format. I chatted with LG CS who stated that I should make the lockscreen visable, hold and drag the clock to the left and more options would appear. I hold and drag the lockscreen clock and it goes nowhere. I am on a AT&T LG V10. Is there any way to get the vertical clock on the lockscreen and, if yes, how about the homescreen as well?

Now. I know I'm not crazy. I had the hour over minutes clock and went to look in settings to see where to change it and I noticed that now my clock is hour next to minutes.

I'm going to venture to guess that it changes depending on if you have notifications. It is hour over minute when you don't have notifications on the lock screen then when you have them it will change to hour next to minutes. I disabled them altogether as I don't need them on the lock screen and the second and the notification center.

Thanks! I have been using, modding, flashing phones for years and I was at a loss trying to figure it out.

No problem. In fact, I was looking (not very hard)/for how to change that to hour next to minutes and it wasn't until I read your post that I put a little more thought into it.
Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Must be the international version only. I have the horizontal clock regardless of notifications. That's unfortunate as I like the look of the vertical one.

I have the Verizon Wireless version.

so do you still have the vertical hour/min clock on your lockscreen? if so can you upload the "LGalarmclock.apk" apk so we can download it? I'm assuming that's the apk responsible for the lockscreen clock if not someone please correct me.

Any way you or your any other Verizon user mind doing an adb system pull? It would be helpful for me to know which variants come with "V"ertical and which "H"orizontal. Obviously Tmos=H and Verizon=V..

It's very easy and would help a lot here's a small tutorial I found to explain it.
http://www.droidviews.com/push-pull-files-android-using-adb-commands/
The command needed here is just adb pull /system and that's it. If you end up doing this just zip the files it gives you and upload to the cloud or something and post a link here.. I would really really appreciate it.

Can someone from Verizon please do an adb pull and get me the SystemUI apk? Pleeeease!!??

I realize this is dead but I stumbled across it. You don't need a pull of system. It's all there, you just need to change build.prop to a non-US carrier for ro.build.target_operator and ro.build.target_country. For example, TLS and CA, respectively. I did it for the international data icons, but the clock is affected too.

When I change those to TLS and CA I get stuck with com.android.phone has stopped responding. This is on a Verizon phone. Any thoughts?

[MOD] Remove the HTC power saver option in the new sense Jellybean update

It was really annoying me so I did some searching and I found this thread.

Basically if you use titanium back up, you can just freeze or delete "com.htc.htcpowermanager" and it'll disappear.
I just thought I'd share with you guys, credit goes to to the guy who found this in the link above, I'm just passing it on.
EDIT: Freezing or deleting it will both cause your battery menu in settings to disappear. This isn't really an issue to me as there isn't really anything in there that you can do, besides see whats' eating your battery. IMO this is negligible especially when new roms will be rolling out soon, hopefully with a work around.
Wouldn't delete it just in u may need it later. Freezing is the best option for all annoying system apps. Thanks for sharing the link tho.

Read the edit I just made to the OP.
In JB you can long-tap on a notification and click on App Info. I did a Force Stop there, notification went away. Hopefully there are no other side effects. If there are any, I will report them.
LOL 5 minutes later, and it's back. And you cannot uncheck "Show Notifications"
I used this to get rid of mine. Think its a good alternative.

Same here. I'm mostly against it because I don't know why I'd ever need it. It might actually be useful but if it does x y and z and I only want x and y I'd like to know what I'm getting into.
I can't believe no one noticed it yet but if you go to the app info there is a check box for notifications, just uncheck it and it goes away

Something else I've noticed. I used to use floating notifications, but stopped due to the talkback bug. After the update, I installed FN just to give it another try, and the bug is gone.
Anyone else notice this?
Also, to the guy that asked, I have the wifi toggle and use the 16g version.
I updated (after numerous tries) with the Verizon BS software, and of course, don't have the toggle (its not really the end of the world that I don't), I just find it odd that others do, and others don't. I have the 16GB, and a few who say they have the toggle have stated they have the 32GB (that shouldn't make a difference anyhow). I guess if I get bored enough later, I'll wipe my device and see if it brings it back (just so those who don't have it, and *want* it, know how to *maybe* get it back).
I don't have the WiFi toggle either. Quick thought...
Those of you that don't have the Wi-Fi toggle. Did you rearrange the order?
Those of you that do have the toggle, were you still on the default order?
Might be something to it. I rearranged my toggles...

Yeah, this has a few more tweaks than nottach so far, and some that didn't work before (Quick Setting tile number wouldn't work on my MF3 I337) are working now. Anyone is safe to install and tweak away as long as you're on stock/tw.
EDIT: nottach xposed does have a few more than this at the moment, I was wrong. Specifcally the full battery and headset notification I've noticed so far.
I'm not sure if this is related but after installing this i noticed my mobile connection would randomly switch to h+ in settings. I rebooted and got the padlock. Booted fine still and noticed an extra battery icon. I only enabled the module and looked at the options without checking or changing anything.
Uninstalled and rebooted. No padlock, no extra icon. Goldeneye MH1 with only scrolling cache and call record add ons.
So I really want to try this out but I have a quick question. As of right now im on MF3 and I am planning on rooting my phone. The only think I would like to be able to do is to have lockscreen widgets on my device while having security enabled such as a pattern lock or password. Will this give me the option to do just that?

The extra icon does sound like something that a tweak/app like this can be responsible for.

I know it's not supposed to work. I wasn't expecting it to work. But I tried it anyways.
Slim Bean AOSP 4.3 ROM + Xposed + Wanam all seemed to install fine.
But a reboot or two later, before even selecting any option changes, ended up getting to where it refused to boot into the OS. Even after a factory reset.
Don't jump me, I know it wasn't *supposed* to work.
Guess I just confirmed that for the rest of the 4.3 AOSP guys?

Do you have to unlock to answer the phone?
Should note that double tap to turn off doesn't work with this lockscreen though - need to double tap the status bar...
Is there a way to start widgets maximized by default with this lockscreen or that needs to be changed in code?
I have a smart window case. When I use the stock lock screen with this mod, the screen doesn't turn off when I close it. Its kinda weird. It makes the lock noise. If I lock the screen, opening the case wakes and unlocks the phone. Odd.

Okay so maybe there is some dependency on that line in build.prop for some reason.

I had no problems editing my build.prop on VZW CleanROM. Make SURE you put the permissions back after the edit.
I believe permissions are the key. I successfully switched to stock lock screen on VS980 and made sure perms were correct of 644. When I went to revert back to LG lock screen I forgot to change perms and default is 666. Then I saw the failure to boot the kernel with a black screen after the LG bootloader screen like others have seen.
So got to test recovery backup restore and am happy it worked!

Unfortunately the space for on-screen buttons on the lockscreen appear inconsistent, i.e. the standard dark overlay over the wallpaper is cut off at the bottom.
So I tried to give it a shot, but running into weird issue with build.prop editing.
For some reason it only lets me type "fals" and then nothing else displays on the screen. I can't type out the full word "false" instead of true.
Has anyone seen this before? What are you using to edit build.prop?

[Q]Activating onscreen keys and disabling capacitive keys.

So after a little bit of tinkering, I've managed to get M8-esque software keys on my One Max. Now I have set about disabling the capacitive home/back keys, but for the life of me, cannot manage to shut them off...does anyone happen to know the file that I need to edit?
Undertake the following AT YOUR OWN RISK, when it comes to ripping out this kind of stuff I HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY OWN ACTIONS, LET ALONE YOURS, THEREFORE, I WON'T.
UPDATE: For anyone interested in getting the keys disabled, I managed to finally get them off by using root explorer to edit the contents of:
- system/usr/keylayout/max1187x_touchscreen_0.kl
- system/usr/keylayout/himax.touchscreen.kl
- system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
All contents of these files were backed up and deleted. Reboot and enjoy!
(I'd tried #ing them, and deleting the contents individually, but it only seems to work when ALL are blanked, someone who actually knows what they're doing can probably clarify if this is overkill)

Well I suspect what made it so very easy was the fact that I was on the 4.4/Sense 6 M8 port that Flyhalf posted a few weeks ago. Since it was an M8 port, I just assumed they'd be hidden in there.
You can get them up with a text edit, or you can go the easy route and use

I have no idea if this would work on stock One Max ROMs, but it's worth a shot.

button savior also works.
i've been looking for how to disable the hard keys but haven't found it. I was thinking maybe using Xposed Additions to see if I could just remap the buttons to no action or something but haven't had the chance
It'll work on stock or ports 4.4.x only but use Xposed then install GravityBox and you can add soft keys and you can turn off hard keys......... Nuff said!

I heard you can quickly edit your build.prop or you can adb pull framework-res.apk decompile it with ApkTool and edit the I think bool.XML I dunno its been a while and change show navbar from false to true then recompile it and push it back.. Restart the Android system wait for it to optimize apps and profit LOL... That's a somewhat permanent solution unless you reverse the method

Hmm, I've been looking into gravitybox, but I can't seem to find any option to completely disable the hardware keys. I do see how I can map double and long presses, but nothing for just general presses. (Although if I could define the length of a long press at a laughably short time, e.g. 1ms, then assign no long press function.....that could be a janky way of getting the job done)

The most infuriating part of this is the fact that I've been digging in system/usr/.../keylayout, systematically #ing out instances of the desired keys, but they just never ever ever unbind.

Haha! I've fumbled my way to success! OP updated for any one who might want to do the same.
