Removing the AM/PM from clock?

I'm just wondering, how would one go about removing the AM/PM from the clock on the notifications bar? I know in CM there's an option for it, but what would it take to do so on sense?

This just made me realize how useless that AM/PM is and how much space it would clear up on the status bar. I took a quick look through services.jar before work, but I wasn't able to find it. I'll go through it some more tonight.

May not be exactly what you're looking for but one easy way is to enable the 24 hour option in Settings -> Date & Time.
That will free up a bit of space at least.

don't want 24hr time but thanks. if cm6 can have the mod im sure sense roms can too.

Unfortunately, I didn't end up getting home until around midnight so I still haven't really looked into this. I had a dream that somebody posted in this thread and told me what smali file it was in and I was pretty disappointed this morning when I realized it didn't really happen

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks
Pat.

It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.

Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.

+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.
hoping for a port

I like the tactics here

MIUI has that option.

tried an miui sd build (by 3dak, very smooth build) and the top bar is sweeeet. a thin green line which filles up from the right when its charging, and on lockscreen.
i want, i want, want, but i dont want miui ;-)
it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,
anyone???

[REQUEST] Notification bar tweaks

I decided to play around with my phone and create a new layout. I'm currently using GC 1.9.1 and would like to have the battery and time icons removed, and( unless someone can point me to a text widget) have the signal indicator colored white. Attached is a screenshot of my current layout. I'm trying to go for a very simplistic text layout. If anyone can lend their assistance I will make sure there is some monetary compensation. Thanks in advance!

My sugestion would be to wait. Making the clock and battery go away will be an option kn GC 2.0. We are getting close to finishing, it wont be long now. I cant give you an exact time, as we ourselves dont know, but hang in there, great things are coming.

Just checked. Yes it is an option.

Backup your current services.jar or you can pull it from the gummy zip just in case you want to revert but here you go, will remove the battery and clock. Just flash it in recovery, been using it for a week or so and it works fine.

Thanks mbh! That worked fine. Now I guess I gotta wait on GC 2.0 to be able to remove the signal indicator.

I hate the clock in the bar since I run a bigass time widget. I also run a battery percentage widget so I look for a non accurate battery icon, but nuking it is even better. Thanks

[Q] Can someone make a WP7 style Notification bar or theme?

Hi guys. I was just wondering if it would be possible for someone who is good at making themes for the nexus s and if they could either make a Windows Phone 7 style notification bar with the battery icon and signal ect ... Or a full theme including a similar style lock screen. I have installed launcher7 and the WP7 apps to make it look like WP7 as much as possible but all I need now is the status bar. I even have the WP7 lockscreen and contacts app with Facebook intergration. Please help. Thanks

Solution: get a FOCUS for cheap locally. Use when you want WP7. That's what I do.

Ha ha very funny. Some people dont have the money and dont really want the phone as there is a lot you cant do with it eg apps like what android have. All I want is the UI and that us it. I dont want Microsoft ****ty phone just the UI. All I need is the status bar to look like the wp7 phone and that is it as everything else I have make it look like wp7.

I would definitely like to see this as well, I really like the font and clean look. Although Focus' are fairly inexpensive in the states, usually around $150 where I am but carrying 2 devices is a bit much.

Well that's my point exactly and I already have two phones as it is. My nexus s and my x10 so to have a third phone my trousers would literally fall down with all the weight of the phones. My x10 I help devs with there ROMS by giving them my tweaks I know and my nexus s is my everyday phone.

Yes I know that but that is just for.the homescreen. When you open an app it swithches back to the stock status bar. What o want is a status bar with the the wp7 icon so I can switch off the launcher one and just have one set.

Are you looking for something like my application, StatusBar+, or something else?

I am also still searching for a ROM that is built based on WP7. I feel like it is kinda cool if u get ure phone to run as android but look like something else. I feel as if it stands out.
I also hv everything installed to make my phone look like WP7. Juz like BlackWatch89 said. The only thing left is the statusbar. Using StatusBar+ is most likely sufficient but I do not own a credit card to upgrade to full... T.T
Wud love to see a ROM built based on WP7 or myb hv the UI look like WP7.

latest MIUI + this theme ( http://www.2shared.com/file/bAnRD1bx/WP7Dark_Blue-1.html ) + launcher7 = wp7 theme which is practically based on ics!! It gives you lock screen, camera (not sure), and much more!

Floating Recent Apps Button for phones with hardware buttons

I have created this little app out of frustration with the hardware buttons on my Galaxy S3. I don't really mind the back, menu, or Home button implementations but I am really annoyed because of the implementation of the recent apps. On a Galaxy S3, we all know that one has to press the hardware home key for a while to open the recent apps view. This greatly hampers multitasking and, honestly, it even turned me off of the idea of multitasking using the recent apps view.
But I recently used a friend's Galaxy Nexus and found that the recent apps view was not only very convenient to switch between apps, but also very effective. And the convenience was amplified by the fact that the recent apps button was ever present on the phone's screen. So I decided to implement something similar for my phone.
I came across STANDOUT , a library made by Mark Wei (xda member pingpongboss) which perfectly suited my needs for this app and made creating this app a breeze. Thanks a lot Mark!!
So here is my app called "FLYING RECENTS". It is a floating button that does nothing but open the default recent apps view. It is draggable via the handle attached at its bottom, it is semi-transparent so as to not be too distracting, and it can be closed by clicking its notification in the notification shade. Go ahead. Give it a try. I am sure people with hardware buttons will appreciate the utility of this app once they use it. Do offer suggestions if any, and I will try to incorporate them into the app as much as i can.
Made for a Galaxy S3. Ideal use case is for phones like Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, etc. All phones with hardware buttons running Android 4.0+ benefit from this app.
UPDATE: Version 1.01 includes a better looking drag handle. Thanks to pratyush997 for the suggestion!!
UPDATE: Version 1.02 includes a transparent notification bar icon.

I'm thrilled I was looking for something like a long time ...

Thanks for your response. I hope you enjoy using this. If you don't mind, hit thanks, and tell people about this app. Everybody deserves the ease of convenience don't they?

Very very nice, been looking for a while for something like this.
I have a suggestion Don't u think it would be more practical and less obstructive if it was more like a gesture based launcher (like swipepad, sidebarpro).
We set it up that once u swipe from the home button upwards the screen, it will launch the recent apps. I've tried many apps but none were perfect for that simple task.
Thx for the nice app, would be appreciated if u can consider my suggestion.

I have been working really hard to implement this sort of a possibility that you have described. If I have any success in the implementation, I will surely update and post here.

Trust me it was my original aim to make this app just like that (i.e. dragging the button itself) but I cannot for the life of me make it draggable. That is why I had to include the handle. Feel free to suggest any coding workarounds if you can. It would greatly benefit me.

Useful app! May I suggest the addition of floating 'back', Home', 'menu' buttons as well?

As far as I can tell, adding the back button is not possible without rooting. But i will get back with the home button implementation soon.
