Notification clock

Is there a way to disable the clock in the notification bar? I've seen it done with themes, just wondering if there was a way to do it from the source code.

 

Do the themes actually disable it (i.e. give you back the bar real estate) or do they just make it not visible?

 

From what I understand, it disables it so everything slides over, instead of just having a gap and making it invisible

 

Correct. The clock is gone and the icons move over.

 

I like that option. Gives a nice clean look.

 

OK, I wish BlackBar did that. I'll have to pester the author.

 

Themes can't remove the clock completely - you'll need something in spare parts to do it.

 

Hmmmm ... I'll have to pester cvpcs then. Bugzilla here I come.

 

I should revise - maybe a theme could remove it with a change to services.jar, but you would never be able to get it back if you wanted.

Here's the link for the MM theme that removes it. Not sure if this helps...

 

MM and froyo don't seem to get along well, usually causes fc's and reboots. But if somebody decides to give this a shot let me know

 

you can make it completely transparent in spare parts. Kind of a temporary fix until cvpcs can address it

 

It would need to be a hack done to services.jar. Any metamorph or update.zip theme that makes that mod HAS to be custom to a particular rom - as all they do is include a modified copy of the system.jar file and transplant it.

I would like to see a spareparts mod for that as well - not sure if that is even possible or reasonable, but I didn't think changing text colors in there was possible until I tried this rom!

 

CyanogenMod has all sorts of color options as well as removal of clock in the spare parts it includes in the ROM.

 

Looks like someone put in a feature request before I did
