Can this be done somehow? I think it's redundant how we have a clock on the lock screen and likely a widget in your favorite flavor.
It's also getting a bit crowded up there with a few native apps like running along with notifications from facebook, twitter, sms, email, and other apps. Think the best one to go would be the clock so i'm asking.
to completely get rid off it would require changing .smali files in classes.dex in services.jar. it would not be an easy thing to do, so if you want to go through with it read up on smali/baksmali. you can change the color of the clock to make it invisible easily but that will not free up any more space in the status bar
Actually I use the battery moniter with % indicator, so in my oppinion the battery would be the first to go. Your not on the deskop all time, so the time would always be useful.

Does anyone know how I can change the hand colors on the analog clock in Android? It's green, but I would like to try yellow or blue. I know, like in Cyanogen, the clock (as well as the power widget) are in cyan colors, so can something similar be done?
Or is there like a third party app/widget that looks like the clock but change colors?
Sorry if this is asked, but I searched on many forums without an answer.
There's quite a few free analog clock widgets in the market that allow customizability. I don't use an analog clock, I use Beautiful Smaller Home by Beautiful Widgets...or you can
try to ninjamorph it.
@hollywooder
I have seen tons of widgets in the market, however I want the same background and hand design, with color changing option.
In that case, morph is probably what you're looking for, but since I don't suppose there is a morph just for clock, you'll also have to make it.
I found ninjamorph and it seems to be able to analyze jar and apk files. If someone can tell me what file that analog clock is, (and if it uses images for the hands), i could probably edit the images and put it together.
Still learning about the OS....
Trying to customize the bottom ("launcher"?, you know, it has "phone", + and the app list) on htc sense (for now). I've made the background for the launcher transparent but now I want to get rid of the text "Phone". I can't find any image in either framework-res.apk or com.htc.resources.apk that correspond with those foreground icons.
How do I go about changing them? Am I just looking at the wrong set of images or is it time to get into some scripting/layout editing?
And, a much more important question, what's the best resource for me to go about solving future problems like this on my own? Searches don't really turn up good resources (ie, a description of what each folder contains, where to find status bar resources, etc). I'm a rather independant learner but this particular platform is leaving me a little on my knees.
Is this possible? I find it redundant to use beautiful widgets with a clock already on the screen...
Thanks.

I'm sure it would be by modding the framework file. You should maybe start there and see where that goes.
You can do it by modding the framework file, or take the easy way like I did and use launcherpro and have it set to hide the notification bar.

Thought of that, but then I cant see my notifications at the top which I use a lot.. id just like to remove the clock, and slide all the battery and signal info to the right to take up its space.
I found work-arounds for that problem too lol. I customized my dock with 'call', 'texts', and 'gmail' icons and set the preference to show the 'unread' or 'missed call' count on the icon. I think it just makes my home screen look cleaner. Plus I get the full screen view of Katy Perry's half naked body woot woot.
Or you can also just set the notification bar to be hidden, and set the home softkey to pull down the notification bar.
Okay, I have successfully made Rosie do 5x5 and 4x5.
5x5 is what I wanted, but then every single widget would have to be edited to look right. - No.
4x5 lets the 4 column widgets work, and adds an extra row of icons to every screen. Only problem is, since each square of screen space is reduced to add the extra row, the last few lines of a widget are lost.
See attached 4x5 shot.
I know if I can remove some padding around the workspace screen, each cell would grow a little. I just can't find where to do it, and my fingers are getting numb from building and pushing the apk.
Does anybody know what padding settings I need to reduce to allow icon/widget cells to grow?
D
I done the same thing with the incredible when I had it.
There is a way to accomplish this but you are still going to have to edit the individual widgets to fit in the smaller space.
It's been a while but it's a pretty simple edit.
The main widgets that need to be changed are the clock, the calendar, and the people widget.

Yeah, I've been down that road. I'm trying to avoid it though.
If I can recover enough space by removing the padding I shouldn't have to.
Just something I'll have to play with till I get it right I guess.
Thanks though!

This made me realize my mind has trouble interpreting grids phrased as [column]x[row]. I'm hard wired for row first, lol.
Does this look OK in landscape with 5 rows. This is where the problems usually begin for me wanting to use 5 rows.
If it's possible to cut that padding down to a bare minimum, it should fix the widget issue, at least a little bit.
Hi All,
I have a HTC One and recently got the OTA update for Jellybean. On the bar at the bottom i have Phone, Messages, Email and camera but then when i go to my apps i have the same icons again. Seems a little pointless and it's wasting 4 spaces for other apps in the folders.
I also cant hide them or freeze them as it removes both of the icons.
Any ideas how to remove the duplicates and just have them on the bar at the bottom?
Also can i set the home button to go to the app screen and not Blink or the other home screen?
No and no to your questions as far as I know. Two of the unwelcome new features and other me. Personally I created a "useless" the folder and throw all those additional icons in.
Thanks for confirming, shame i should have read all of the notes on the upgrade.

Do you even look at your phone, know how to use search, or Google? I doubt it.
By selecting the 'custom' appdrawer, you can select which icons you want to display and folders etc.
Now, both of you go away and give yourself a good talking to :silly:
I have to be honest I don't have to many friends but I think you may have missed the point of the question or your skim readings are rubbish.
I have the camera, messages, emails and phone icon on the bar at the bottom And in the normal app area. The custom feature is brilliant but when I hide the camera icon it hides both of the icons.
