Additional Taskbar Clock - General Topics

Hi All,
I have spent some time lookinf ofr an application and so far have been unsuccessful.
I am trying to find a clock, that could be placed on the top taskbar of WinMo 6.1.
The only application I know of that has a similar functionality is KBattery, whoch is a very old and ugly application.
I know that probably Wisbar Advance has this functionality, but the application is too much of a memory hog to install it just to get a clock. I have a nice battery icon showing percentage of battery and would not want to trade it for a clock instead, so I need an additional clock. I tried setting up both battery and clock on taskbar, but because I have the custom icons it does not work.
Does anyone know of such an application? Can anyone make one?
It would need to have similar to KBattery ability to be moved around taskbar.
Thanks in advance

Try P-bar. I have it installed with the clock and memory showing.

Anyway to move it around taskbar?
I opened it and then it covered the battery I cone that I do not want coevered and after a few operations the taskbar disappeared completely. Only soft reset helped.
Any other suggestions?

I don't think there is a way to move it around. It runs in the background, I have it assigned to one of my buttons, so I can activate it. If you tap on the upper right hand corner, it will show up again depending on how you set it on settings.

I played with it for a few hours and it definitely is not what I am looking for. Ugly as hell and even worse, cannot be moved.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know why you called pBar ugly, but it can show you both time and memory, both time and battery, both time and battery percent, etc...
May be you need a battery indicator that can be moved, rather than the clock. Here is a screen shot of mine. I am using a free battery indicator "ARIEL BATTERY" from this site. I used pBar to show both time and available main memory. All the information and controls I need on the today screen.

Right,
I have a nice icon set installed and do not wnat to have it covered by pbar, that's the only reason I do not like it. I want it in the middle of my taskbar not on the right side.

Hi,
Try Quick Menu 2.8. It has the features you are looking for.

Thanks, I will try that.
EDIT: It is a very nice menu for WM, however it only shows an additional battery on the taskbar, no moving it around though.
I am still looking for a CLOCK that will be shown on the taskbar and can be moved around it, to be positioned somewhere in the middle.

o stick with KBattery

Volume Icon

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of the volume icon in the task bar?
A registry setting would be preferable to installing an app.

Agree - annoying waste of space, In fact would be good if there was some kind of menu to select between all the icons you want to have displayed / hidden
I have the same question regarding...battery icon
I'm using WKTASK so battery indicator is shown as small line just above the taskmenu - it's perfect for me. I can exchange battery for clock via QuickMenu but have no idea how to get rid of them both.

I second this. I think an app or anything else that works should contain options for all icons. I would think they would all be treated the same for flagging on and off.
anyone shed any light on this?

Analog title bar clock fix?

Hey,
Just randomly today my normal digital clock which I have in the top-right corner of my phone switched to an analog clock. I didn't know how to search here to find the answer, and I looked through all the settings I could think of and couldn't figure it out.
So how do I switch the top right title bar clock back to digital?
Sorry for the seemingly newbie question, just can't seem to find the dang setting!

Lol, it's quite easy actually.
Just press and hold the analog clock and a lil menu will come up
with a selection of that or digital.
Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.
zzzz....
I didnt know that ... really cool
Hi all, I have the same problem but if I press and hold the analog clock nothing happens, if I tap the clock a pop-up appears with the date and time.
Is there some other way to change back to a digital clock?
Thanks in advance.
Edit I found the solution in another thread.
Here
Hi,
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
It's worked for me.
To the OP, and the responders - you bloody legends.
Don't normally reply to threads unless there's something useful to add but I had to say thanks for this.
Working outside up to my nuts in mud (it rained 50mm/2" that day) and somehow my phone survived.. but this weird round icon in the top right hand corner appeared. Oh, one of them clocks I can't read
Couldn't work out how to turn it off. Fixed.

ADW launcher, 1 frustration I am having.

I like this launcher, been using it a while, but I have one frustration with it each time I have to wipe and reinstall when trying different roms.
The frustration is dragging an item to the dock bar. What is the secret with this? I have to try to drag a single item about 10 times to the dock bar before it finally takes. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I even have the dock set to the largest size to try and eliminate this but it doesn't work.
I know on Launcher Pro, when you drag an item, when it is in the right area, the icon turns a shade of red to let you know to let go, but in ADW there is no marker to let you know this.
What the heck am I doing wrong? This is something so simple and I feel so, n00bish with this.

Out of curiosity, you're not dragging it into the trash can by mistake, are you? I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm just trying to rule out everything.
That trash can still f's me up. I've also had the drawer button disappear. Sometimes it gets so frustrating that I just go back into settings and hit the fast preset to fix everything. I'm using ex btw.
I finally got tired of the crap and installed launcherpro. No problems so far.....
I thought this was just me..It would take me 20 times to add a freakin short cut to the dock! Got tired of it and went back to launcher pro.
I use ADW Ex, and didn't have the same issue...
What I found best worked for me was going into settings and under UI, changing the
Trash Can to appear up Top (Shrink Desktop) and that eliminated some of the
accidentally trashing icons...
As far as dropping icons i've never had an issue, the only thing i'm at odds with is how
in order to organize icons on the hidden dock you have to manually add them all over
again.
With the dock buttons disappearing, I went into ADW Settings and changed the
gestures for swipe up and swipe down to show/hide the main dock and show/hide the
hidden dock.
Hey All,
Thanks for the replies.
I was once having the issue with accidentally dragging an icon into the trash bin and ever since I changed it to not having the trash can icon anywhere but instead I hold on the icon and remove it when the menu pops up. So that trash can is no longer there.
I just have my dock on the bottom of the screen at the largest size (10 if I am not mistaken) and I try and drag the item from the applications list and this is where it just doesn't seem to take until that one time you get lucky and it takes.
Thank you again for the replies,
Whiteice
*EDIT* The main reason why I use ADWEX over Launcher Pro Plus is because of the ability in ADWEX to reduce the size of the icons in the text bar. Otherwise I would just have stuck with Launcher Pro Plus.

Extra home screen indicator.

I didn't really know what to search to find an answer to this question, so I'm sorry if it has already been posted. I have a full stock nexus and the default launcher, sometimes I notice a little + sign where the home screen indicators are. I know it's used to add a new home screen, but I don't want it there. And when I scroll all the way to the right there's an extra blank home screen. Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of this?
Question 2: I have a repeating alarm set every morning with the stock alarm app. I've noticed that sometimes the alarm icon in the notification bar will disappear, and only come back up if I tap on the alarm in quick settings. The alarm is still set and still goes off.
Neither of these are really issues, just nuisances, and for all I know they could be "features". But any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
for #1, just place something on the homescreen then remove the item.

I just noticed #2 happening on my N5 as well. I figured maybe it was because I have made some status bar changes with Xposed Framework + Gravity Box, but I guess not. Probably a bug of some sort. What's weird is I've seen it come and go randomly too when just looking at my screen. Oh well. Kind of bugs me, but not a huge deal since my alarm still goes off every morning.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. I guess it's more of an annoyance than a problem.
I have had this problem for a while now, usually goes away if I bring an icon over to a new page then back, or if I restart my phone.
I have since switched back to Nova as they have implemented many kit kat GEL like additions, and I used this on my nexus 4, missed a lot of the swipe features and icon packs
home screen
You restore you N5 in the company setting....
Many be Issue is the some missing file....
I've had the problem with the blank home page several times on my N5 and adding/removing an item to the page removes it. It's always a extra page to the right of the last active page.
I have a daily recurring alarm and I only see the alarm icon two hours before the set time. In the notifications I have the option to dismiss the alarm early.
I do have an issue with HD Widgets which lives on the home (first) screen. Sometimes the widget becomes embedded on the page -- I will see what appears to be overlaid images. I first noticed what appeared to be two sets of temperatures (I use the weather widget with three or five day forecast). The easiest way to correct the problem is to drag the widget to a new page at the end, delete the home page which now displays the widget as a background image, then re-order the pages. This has never occurred on my N4 or N7 which are set up similarly except that the home page is the middle page.

Swipe from the bottom notification window

Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.

Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.
What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.
The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.
I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.

Sorry, looks like that feature hasn't been around since ICS.
I'm curious if it's even possible with a custom rom. I always questioned this too. When I had the iPhone 4, I hated switching to iOS 6, but the swipe up from the bottom to access your quick settings was a stroke of genius and got me to actually enjoy it even more after jailbreaking it because you could tweak the odd cosmetics.
iPhone was able to do it through a software update. Why can't Android? What's the limitation and what makes it so limited that no one has been able to accomplish this? Genuine question and interest.
Galaxy S8+ is a phenomenal phone that I think will take quite a bit to outdo it, but the biggest problem with having massive screens is reaching those quick settings. Even with the edge bar, it's still not the same. And the swipe gesture with the fingerprint scanner is neat but that doesn't get you the quick settings a person needs with one hand as well as accessing the notifications.
It would very nice to have that reversed. I have big hands and it's still a pain to always have to use the phone with two hands for those quick things people like to do. Like adjusting brightness, muting, flashlight, Bluetooth etc.
Maybe one day they'll realize people still hold their phones with one hand every now and again and try to tailor that there notification panel accordingly :silly:

It is possible!
It can be done even with an app.
but it can be confusing because of Navigation Buttons at the bottom.
and in this way using this on custom rom can be better >> set nav bars little bit higher and then notification bar below that.......
I think after this idea you will see lots of mods and apps
If I decide to do it I will inform you
I always wanted that swipe down for quick access to controls in ios on Android. Why haven't they implemented that yet? Took them many years to have a "night mode" on Android.

Have never really understood the ergonomics of it. Bottom Status Bar should at least be an Xposed Module!
