Since I have a giant clock widget on my home screen I feel this is pretty redundant. A quick google search yielded this result:
http://www.market4android.com/remove-the-clock-from-task-bar.php
But, that's for the Hero. Any ideas on if we can do something similar with the EVO?
hahaha, same here. it's retarded when i click on the show your home screen thread and see the huge sense like time along with the smaller taskbar time. or people have the battery widget showing the same thing as the taskbar battery. having the widget repeating the same information as the taskbar is redundant. it would be nice to disable it in the taskbar so i can put up some widgets.
Im really wanting to get rid of my stock battery icon as well. I had it on the hero, since Im using a battery widget that shows the percentage up there anyway.
I have the time removed on my moment but i doubt the same update zip will work on the evo.
itd be great if we could...

I did something like this on my old moto droid, that made the time disappear. Only prob left an open spot where the tine used to be, but at least it was gone. I will check on droid forums.net to see if I can find it.

Obviously some way to shift the icons over or put something else there would be ideal, but even just removing the time and having a blank space would be fine with me. I just think it's dumb to have the time shown twice right next to each other. Thansk for checking.
I agree. The only time it's handy is when you're in an app and you want to check the time real quick by hitting menu and dropping down the notification bar. I wonder if I'd miss that once it's gone.
When I get home I'll try to achieve it if no one else has, wish I knew how to remove that empty space tho >.
You can get rid of the notification bar altogether with ADW Launcher. Don't know if that will help you guys.

I still want the notification bar..I just don't want the time in it and I'm appealing to the experts here because I don't know how to mod the notification bar.
A thousand internets to whoever does it.
So, I've created my first theme.
EDIT: Version 0.6 is out -- check it out.
It is a Desire like theme, with a black bar and colorful icons.
This theme is still a work in progress, so watch for updates. I will try to keep it updated as CM6 updates are released, so watch for that as well.
This theme works wonderfully on CyanogenMod 6.0.0 STABLE on the Nexus One, should work on other HDPI devices (EVO4G, DROID Incredible, etc). It may work on 854x480 devices (DROID), but I'm not sure. Give it a shot, if it works for you, let me know!
A special thanks goes out to Formel-LMS and MicroMod777, for their themes are which this theme is based off of.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your computer, your mom, your girlfriend, etc. I will try my best to help you out, please bear with me.
PROTIP: If you have issues applying this morph, first, try again, second, adjust your speed in the metamorph settings and try again. If you would like to revert, reflash your base ROM (and GAPPS).
morphed this, looks awesome
did get about half my apps showing up duplicated in the launcher though.
Well, that is quite odd.
I had no issues here, and quite honestly, I have no idea what would cause the icons to duplicate. Hmm...
Thanks for the props though!
ill look into it, its prob just my phone
everything else is fine, its nice to have a blackbar on froyo with transparency to it instead of a solid pulldown color
good stuff man only this i can tell that could be updated is when i pull down the status bar "t-mobile" is black/dark grey is that by design?
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I still gotta change that to white.
I'm quite tired though, and I was getting ready to head to bed.
I will put out 0.3 tomorrow, fixing that.
Thanks again guys, enjoy!
Sorry it took me a couple days to get the update out there, I spent the weekend at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. While it was a blast, it did delay me getting the update out.
The only thing that has been changed from 0.2 is the network name color from black to white.
However, I would like some feedback. Do you think it would be cool if I made the text RED while roaming?
What else would everyone like to see out of this?
I'm also thinking about changing the LED colors on a per-app basis...
GMail = Red
Google Voice = Purple
Google Talk = Yellow
etc...
What do you think about that?
Come on guys, help me out!
Morphed this with metamorph and now my settings and menu>widgets crashes with the note "android.processes.acore has crashed" Any help?
Grab me a logcat? Also, perhaps try to re-morph it at a different speed? I have mine at 4200 and have had no issues. And where exactly is this occuring again? Can you clarify it a little better so I can attempt to re-create it on my end?
I'm sorry that you're having issues and I would like to help, but you gotta help me help you =D
I got rid of my issues with "android.processes.acore has crashed" by dissabling screen cache in adw launcher settings...
Basically I'm running 7 screens with scrolling widgets for messages and calendar (pure).
Flicking a few times back and forth between screens and scrolling the widgets would cause the error time and time again until I disabled that.
Now the scrolling is not as nice as before, but the prosess doesn't crash.
The morph works without issues on my n1.
-e
----edit--
Request for battery percent if it can be done
Some roms have started including it, and I'm sure cyan will on next alpha, but until then it would be nice to morph it in..
Apart from that, all good. I like it simple. Perhaps add some colored settings (like my screenshot) that would match the settings app..
Will this work with CM6.0a1 and launcher pro replacing ADW as default launcher in system/app?
I'm also looking for some info on using themes in cyanogen with launcher pro. Is there anything out there?

Yeah, that sounds pretty intensive. 7 screens lol. I'm using 5, with quite a few widgets, with no issues.
I will try to incorporate those features for you.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Launcher Pro, at least in its current state, I don't touch the Launcher.apk at all.
May I ask why you prefer Launcher Pro to ADW? I'd just like some insight, I've never really looked into LP.

LP is MUCH Faster than ADW!!! That is one reason. I know it is close sourced but it is definitely faster at the moment. We will see what happens with updates.

Will this work with the Nightly Builds for CM6?
I think it will break battery percent on the nightly builds...
To get battery percent I believe the changes are in services.jar, and since this metamorph modifies that to get white text then it might break. (I'm not sure though)
I will try later today though, so we'll see
Perhaps the op would be so nice as to create a temp morph for the nightly build *wink* *wink*
----edit----
Yea, nightly build is on, and its sweet
The morph will break a lot of stuff, but I reckon if we remove the xml/jar files from the metamorph, and just apply framework.png's it will work fine.
CM6 nightly will let you change all text colors to whichever you want through settings, so the morph need only to contain .png's...
---edit2---
Removed the "services" folder, and the "layout" folder (in framework res), edited the sexyblack .xml to remove the entry for the files I deleted, and now this work perfect on cm6 nightly!!
Hey all, I played around a little today with building CM from source. Pretty sweet stuff.
I will put out a version tomorrow that will work with the nightlies.
And yes, it will be a hell of a lot easier because the color control is incorporated in CMParts.
I'm off to bed, long night.
Thanks again guys!

Hey Guy's,
I'm currently on WolfBreaks GingerBread 2.3.3 Build v3.7.0, and i'm wondering if there are any compatible Notification bar power control widget mods that i can apply to this rom? His ROM is nearly perfect in my opinion, the only real thing i'm missing is the convenience of being able to turn things on or off from status bar like bluetooth, gps, etc.. like i did with Cyanogen based mods in the past.
This comes in super handy especially when my phone is docked in car mode. Saves me the trouble of having to fiddle with backing out of an app to turn these features on or off while driving.
I am aware that there are apps on the market that already provide this functionality like the Widgetsoid app, however what i'm looking for is a more elagent tightly integrated mod that fits in with the overall theme and does not look like a widget was simply placed on the pull down tray.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Also, my apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, i did search but could not find an answer to my question before posting.
I should also clarify what i mean by "tightly integrated", apps like Widgetsoid only "link" to a separate pop-up menu where the control is turned on or off. So it takes several clicks and various screens to turn something on or off. What i want is to be able to turn the various different options on or off with a single click right from the Notification bar, like you find in the Cynaogen mods.

Dude, I use widgetsoid2 since forever and no pop up windows to Turn things on or off........ even with apn.......but its not in the notification window....
Skeb, that's the problem though. When you do place Widgetsoid in the notification bar, it no longer works with a single click. I already have widgets placed on my desktop for for turning various things on or off, and they do work with a single click. However when driving with google navigation turned on for example, i want to be able to do the same by swiping down the notification tray to enable bluetooth with a single click, without having to go to the desktop to use the widget, then go back to navigation.
Try it yourself, when you place any of these widgets on your notifcation tray it will no longer work with a single click, it instead brings up a seperate pop up window.
It's not exactly a deal breaker, but if i can get the same functionality that i had using Cyanogen mod's, then i would be really happy!
Agreed, I would love that feature too!
To those who care about this feature. I just wanted to post an update that WolfBreaks's GB rom will now be introducing Cyanogen style status bar control widgets in his v4.0 rom which will be released very shortly. I also noticed that EWJet CM7 port also includes this. Nice to know i did not have to wait long to see this feature!

There is no such thing as "EWJet CM7 port",
it's still stock SE ROM, tweaked!
Just to clear out the confusion!
But yes, statubar toggles are finally here for stock ROMs!
You can use widgetsoid, its an app that adds this functionality

walidhiphop thanks, you would think people could take a second to read when the thread is still just a single page long. Not that i'm trying to diss anyone for trying to help and provide advise, but it doesn't take much effort to read a page of text either.
i wan a status bar with a feature that can adjust the screen off time..
Didn't notice at first - in fact I was wondering where the default Gmail icons went (compose/search/labels/refresh) when I realized they are just super dark. Anyone else experiencing a really dark background on the ICS Gmail client? I've included some screens below. As you can tell, the first two screens it's almost impossible to view the icons on the bottom bar and the text on the status bar. Seems to be fine when you select an actual email. The last screenshot shows what it should look like (minus the soft keys at the bottom of course).
For the record, I compared with a Nexus and it seems that the actual icon is the right color, it's just the background that is too dark.
I also thought I could remove it and try to reinstall from the Play Store but doing a search for Gmail only returns the GB compatible version.
Turns out the top bar of Calendar is dark as well. Was talking to a friend and he suggested that something on the phone is confusing the definition of "holo light" (the Google standard - http://android-developers.blogspot.ca/2012/01/holo-everywhere.html)... not sure if that helps or anything.
Mine looks nothing like that. my top and bottom are a light gray, like.. hex #CCCCCC maybe even lighter, and the icons are that dark grac #666666 or so.
will upload screenshot in a bit.

This helps - not a fix but just curious as to who else may or may not be having the same issue. What ROM are you running?
FWIW just installed the Smooth ICE 3.1 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571595) and the Gmail looks as it should. Must have been an issue with the ROM I had initially installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567817).
EDIT: was actually an issue with a theme I'd installed over the ROM to remove more of the TW stuff. Case closed
Hi there!
Check out my new app
Google Play ID
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fossor.wheellauncher
Wheel Launcher is a side panel that sits on top of everything on your device. Wheel Launcher does not interfere with your main launcher, but provides a fast way to reach your favorite apps and shortcuts - just press the semitransparent icon. You can hide the icon by dragging it off the screen. Wheel Launcher allows you to add any shortcut that is provided by your apps, like direct dial any of your contacts or settings shortcut, like battery, sound, Wi-Fi and so on.
Wheel Launcher is in early stages of it's development, so if you have anything to ask, suggest or if you found a bug - do not hesitate to drop me an email.
Features
• Fancy circle design
• Basic shortcuts to some common apps - dial, gallery, email, messaging, camera, drawer
• Support for any app on your device
• Support for any shortcut on your device
• Theme support, not much at this point, but there will be more
• Left/Right sided
I will appreciate, if someone with 4.3 - 4.4 can send me a crash report. :fingers-crossed: Those emulators can't be trusted.
Doesn't crash on 4.4.2
Crashed 4.1.2

Ok I just updated from play store and it's fixed now. Thanks! You've done a great job. It's a really useful and good looking app.
But I'm short on memory and this takes around 30MB of RAM so it's just a luxury I can't keep
But anyone with good amount of memory go for this app :thumbup:

Thanx man! Are you on xxhdpi, cause on my xhdpi the app takes 17MB when it's closed.
There could be more crashes, cause someone said the app wont even start for him. So if someone experiencing the same, i would love to see the log. :cyclops:

Ok since you mentioned 17 MB I gave it another try. And yes without any theme on it's 16/17 MB on xhdpi. Last night I used it with the black theme on so it spiked to 30 MB.
And I already have a Sidebar which takes around 15MB and it serves me well.. So don't get me wrong your app is beautiful and very cool, but I hate the memory constrains I have to deal with
But I'm glad I helped you fix a bug with the log.
Hope people love your app like I did. Regards
It's not crashing on 4.4.2 for me. Great job!
Made some bug fixes and new theme available:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fossor.wheellauncher.androidwhitetheme
Full version with folder support and unlimited number of items is available
Two major updates
1. Added a new white theme.
2. You can now change the position of an item on the main wheel and inside folders
Suggestions
First, just wanted to say that I really like the look of this. Running this on AICP 4.4.2 on a HTC One. Couple of quick suggestions/questions: First, is there a way to turn this on/off and/or a setting to enable on boot? Is there a way to change the position/size of the trigger area?
On a side note, I've used an app called circle launcher (pretty much since it was first released) as a widget on my homescreen to launch my most used apps (about 15 or so). I've really like this because with the launcher icon being transparent, it provides an easy way to launch apps without messing with my layout (no matter what layout i'm using). Have you considered creating this as a widget and/or being able to launch this as a short cut? I could see maybe using this as a custom nav bar button or something similar.

Hi there, thanx and I glad you like it. You can hide the icon by dragging it off screen or by pressing "hide" button on the notification (the app will return when you unlock the device or press "show"). Currently there is no autostart after boot, but it is on the to do list. There is no size changes on the trigger area, but you can change the position by dragging it up or down (it is always floating) and/or by changing side (left or right)
As for a fully transparent trigger area - I saw a lot of feedback (on other similar apps) when users wanted to have a visual representation of this area, so I made it with a flag icon. If there will be more requests to make trigger area fully transparent, perhaps i will add this option too.
And here is some video:
youtube.com/watch?v=uIWDlf1Dai8
New update on both versions:
You can now change icons on a main wheel. Supports most of the icon packs.
Another update:
Trigger now can be set as a rectangular shape in addition to the icon. It can be of any size, color and opacity, up to fully transparent.
