Remove gingerbread status bar clock? - General Questions and Answers

Hey,
I want to remove the clock from my statusbar because it's just ugly and i don't need 2 clocks.
There are some threads about this, but this are old methods that don't work anymore.
somebody knows how to achieve this easily? I'm running latest MIUI ROM (Android 2.3.3)

Really nobody that can help me?
I've found a tutorial to extract services.jar, i tried editting the files but i couldn't figure it out. Please?

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that removing the clock is an option in stock Android. Many of the custom ROMs have explicitly added this capability, I would image because there is a demand for it.

Wouldn't it make more sense to get rid of the stupidly big and unnecessary one that's taking up half your screen real estate?

It is not a real option, but it should be possible. I've read that the clock removal mods don't really remove the clock, but the clocks are just posisioned outside the screen area. I tried to move the clock myself but i failed

No, that doesn't make sense to me.
I like it like this, but the ugly clock in the corner is bugging me

I see your point now! Didn't realise your homescreen was so well modded and tasteful. My apologies for jumping to conclusions and thinking that you'd have a Sense style clock.
If i were you i'd want rid of the smaller one too. If i come across anything that could achieve the desired result i'll post it here for you.

[MOD] Clockless Taskbar - Updated 5/26 for Fresh 2.1.2

First person to notice what's different about the content of this screenshot wins (not regarding the Rosie/Launcher).
Some people were talking about doing this, so I wanted to see if it was possible, turns out it is .

That was fast . You win for being the fastest typer. Not sure of the value, but wanted to see what it might take to do. Any interest out there for this? It does give more room for other "stuff" if nothing else.
clock is gone, and all the icons are pushed over to the right... awesome
how far over do the notifications go?
Giveeemee i like that haha
That's freakin awesome!
I dislike redundancy (clock widget AND time in the taskbar), will you be sharing this one?
You care to share?

It's an edit to a framework .jar file, and my .jar file has additional edits for the white taskbar/notification menu, so it's difficult to distribute.
I could probably do 2 versions. One if your notifications drop down menu is stock, another if it is AOSP style, and thus has some font/button tweaks, like mine.

It doesn't have to be a MetaMorph for this change, as we are not updating a handful of files in an apk/jar file. In this instance, we are replacing the whole thing.
That is one of the challenges in distributing.

Could you turn your expert theming hand to making the highlight on the normal one green, instead of orange. I like the original apart from that (this is great too btw, just not to my taste)

Attach the colour png u like and i put in the apk.
great job on this. might have a request for you since i had some trouble with signing the apk when i tried. that and i'm kinda hesitant to do it since i know he's going to have a new update sometime soon and doing this means i get to remake all my links lol
That makes this launcher look 10 times better than original....good job
Anyway you could theme the icons using this set: http://www.iconspedia.com/pack/blossom-24-/

Since you know where to find these icons, can you lead me in the right direction to find the stock android icons? I've been looking all over for a high resolution version of them (aka the Nexus One icons), and have had no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's launcher pro. The 2nd and 4th icons are set to nothing, and then launcher pro lets to pick custom icons for the bottom dock. It also lets you turn off the home button at the bottom of the app drawer, like in the Droid X.
more icon
is there more icons we can have...im diggin this icons for the evo
Since these end up more spread out than the real icons, could we do a dock background with the icons in the correct places, then just use blank icons, like they do for the sense looking launcher pro docks?
Can a launcher pro dock be pretty tall?
Edit: I figured it out, posted in another thread.
Android tutorial widget?
How did u get that android widget at the top where he says click the button to see your apps or whatever???

It's protips. It's included in a lot of the 2.2 distros, but HTC doesn't include it. One option would be to grab some sort of AOSP rom and get protips.apk from /system/app. I dunno if you can just install a protips apk, or if it needs to be pushed to /system/app on your phone.
CM6 includes their custom version called "brotips." The android is cyan and the 6 original sayings are there along with 6 more specific to CM. Bugless Pete has done one too, I don't remember where I found it, maybe his twitter.
Also try just googling protips.apk.

[Stock Theme]Stock Rosie Theme for Fresh 2.3.3

This is a stock Rosie them for fresh 2.3.3, it includes menu+menu unlock feature. I will post a menu+menu unlock remover zip later if you want to remove this.
This has been png optimized just like the rosie/framework/resources/lockscreen found in stock fresh 2.3.3
Enjoy!
http://www.4shared.com/file/PUDOl9co/FreshRosieOpt.html
Remember folks, this will remove any themeing you have applied to your rom, as it replaces Rosie.apk, framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, htclockscreen.apk!!
EDIT: Please nandroid first, on my 7th Disaronno
Thank you!!!
I must have somehow done this correctly despite intoxication, I see there are 12 downloads and no negative posts!
dude this worked great!
what is the stock rosie theme? sorry i've never known this so i might as well ask
The stock theme is the one that comes in the RUU's from sprint/HTC.
The launcher at the bottom looks like this.(well similar, this looks like an android 1.5 screenshot, but you get the idea)

Flipz uses the espresso launcher, similar but a little different, looks like this
What I don't like about espresso is it has no page indicator. Other than that, I actually like it better.
I can't stand espresso! I tried fixing it myself but I couldn't -- so I'm really glad you've cooked this up.
Thanks man.
cool thanks for the clarification
Im sure this is a longshot but would anyone be willing to change the green in the stock rosie to blue? Ive been trying to do it myself by porting in another themes files but so far Ive only got the battery and market changed properly.
Id be willing to make a small donation for this to the person who gets it done.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo much for making this. I love Freshhhhh's roms but the rosie has always bugged the hell out of me. not saying the one that it comes with is bad. I like the page marker on stock + just like the look of it too. Thanks Again for building this flash.

me too, and I would throw my hero off a cliff if it wasn't for menu+menu unlock =P Something about the touchscreen unlock sets off some kind of necrotic OCD thing in me, I can't handle it
Is there a step by step guide on how to create themes for certain roms and Android in general. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
you got that "menu+menu unlock remover zip" sitting around anywhere ?

Link has been removed since ppl are having issues. I'll create a patch file, when I get a chance.
Thanks!
Really cool! But I lost the ability to start htc albums. This problem might not be related. I'm on jager rom 1.7.4.
any reason why the file is 18 mb? thats pretty big just to edit the curved thing on the lock screen. lol

Its that size because I didn't make a patch file. If I do that it may cause boot loops. I also removed the gps bullseye.

How do you unlock it? And when you say it removes the gps bullseye you mean in the status bar, right? And for good?

Slide down to unlock. And yes, for good but, when your gps is on you still see this icon.
Awesome, awaiting the release of the skyraider version.
Fantastic I like it, would you be able to port the eclair slide to unlock / slide to mute one over?
Thanks in advance.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS!
I'm getting tons of HTC Sense FC's immediately after installing this.
and wow.
held power botton to power down and it just turned off the screen. tried twice.
third time caused a forced reboot.
and again another forced reboot.
now in a boot loop!!!!
running stock rom with UC Kernel.
It caused my Sense email app to crash everytime I tried to open it.
Nand Restored......
It is functional on jager rom, but many of my apps don't open and just fc. I'm not sure if it is safe to say that it runs on jager rom yet.
I'm willing to test any new releases you may have in the future because this is just the change I've been looking for on my phone.

I love how you just completely ignore everyone else's problems.
The transparent lockscreen unlocks the phone when I swipe down on it.
I think it just causes instability with the other apps.
