Clock to digital (XX:XX)

How do I make the clock in display digital time instead of AM/PM mode?
Can't find the setting anywhere!
Using SwiftBLs rom v 5.5...
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings and choose your region.
Changing regional settings requires a softreset afterwards.

i think you intended to say:
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Time Style
..
That method didn't work for me .. I ended up changing the registry setting
HKLM\nls\overrides\ITime
Thanks a bunch, works for me!!
Easy method is just to go into the time section of regional settings and simply delete the AM & PM option.

Force of habit for me, can't stand the am/pm malarky so I just delete the text option on all things that have it. It's not that brute force tbh, just remove the text from the drop down box and if you ever want it back then just type it back in
I've got a problem with my clock in TF now too - and I've not installed any new software or tweaked anything.
All of a sudden it's in 24hr (which I want) but without a leading zero. Also when I go 'back home' very briefly I see an AM/PM symbol on the zero before it flips over to the current time.
I've searched everywhere, reset my phone, regional settings from something else back to UK, looked in the tls registry entry but can't find anything that will put it back to the HH:mm format.
Any ideas? Will reinstalling TF work do you think?
i think it is once again:
Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time > Time Style (see post #3)
try and let us know..
Unfortunately this doesn't work either as there is only one setting there. I've even tried reinstalling Manila.
It's bizarre. I get HH:mm after 12pm but in the morning it's showing as H:mm rather than HH:mm - plus there is a small AM on the first digit. All as if Manila thinks it should show 12hr time in the AM and then 24hr time in the PM!
It's telling the time so I suppose it's no biggie but it's not what I'm used to and I don't know why it's just suddenly doing it and I can't fix it.
The clock on the taskbar is correct which makes it even more weird.
Anyone know of any other reg settings to force a fix?

Lockscreen issue with CM7 stable (or Build 37 and later)

I think ever since CM nightly 37, my lockscreen is gone. No matter whether it's waking up from sleep, or reboot, my nook color never asked for password and anyone can access it!
I went to the setting -> location & security, the screen unlock option is still "change screen lock". Upon clicking it, I need to input my old password to change to a new one. However this is the only place that it asks me for password.
I tried disable password, then enable. No help.
I tried changing lockscreen setting in CM settings, no help either.
I'm running on CM7 stable now, and the problem is still there. Please help! I can't leave my nook color unprotected.
FYI, I used ROM manager for all ROM updates. The screenlock worked before.
It's a Tablet Tweaks setting, on by default.
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Tablet tweaks -> Disable Lockscreen
Thanks. The lock screen appeared! However, it's at an unusual size, as large as a phone's screen. As a result I couldn't see half of the keyboard to input my full password. Is there a way to have a larger lock screen? Is it the set lcd density trick?

That I don't know. I've never tried adding a password lock, only using the various sliders/rotates on the lock screen.
go to spare parts, unclick compatibility mode

Cool. That solved it.
FYI, it was unselected. So I selected it, unselected, then reboot, then bingo!

I had the same lock-screen issue once I enabled it on CM7 stable. I simply rebooted and it fixed it.

Notifications DPI settings

Hi,
I want to change the screen resolution of notifications to a less larger screen so more text will fit on the screen.
I'm on NULL_23 and have Xposed App Settings installed.
I tried changing the "messages" to different dpi setting, but it stays the same.
Anyone know how I need to set the dpi settings ?
EDIT : Never mind, I was on the correct path with the Xposed App Settings but ofcourse I need to enable the module otherwise it won't work

Changing DPI settings (almost prefect)

OK to start I am not a fan of the stock dpi of any of my phones (I feel they make everything too big).
Coming from a note 3 I pretty much know which apps to keep at stock dpi so the app doesn't break or look weird and found a few more for the note 4. But this time around a few got me scratching my head.
I changed my android system and system ui DPI to 320 using app settings from xposed
Corrected the apps that need to run at 640
Everything's great except
- recent apps when you press the button, dpi stays small.
Anyone have an idea of what apps I might have missed changing back to stock?
made thread for it

- lockscreen when I have the fingerprint reader on; the phone, camera and arrow doesn't line up correctly however when it's on swipe only the camera lines up correctly.

I posted this in a different dpi thread, but for the lockscreen, change keyguard back to 640. You'll need to do a full reboot for it to take effect (app settings killing app doesn't work). I also set it to include widgets in the app settings screen but I'm too lazy to check if that's needed or not.
No idea about recent apps.

Odd - I just double checked the settings I have for com.android.keyguard in App Settings and the only changes I made are:
- DPI: 640
- Checked the 'Apply res to widgets' box
It didn't change on killing app but did work after a full reboot. My lockscreen with fingerprint on looks perfect with lcd_density in build.prop set to 480.
I changed the dpi of the phone to 480 and modified the problem apps back to 640. So far everything looks good except the popup for symbols on the keyboard (the window that pops up when you press and hold a key on the keyboard). Keyboard was set to 640. Anyone know what I need to change to correct this?

i thought i replied back to you already but i guess it didnt sennd on my phone.
i missed checking apply res to widgets lol. didnt even notice and have forgotten before without problems.
Thanks, 480 worked for me! I'll probably end up switching to swiftkey in the future, but for now I'm trying to determine how important the floating keyboard is for me

no problem,
its why i kept it in the past put i got over it after i switched but its easy to switch back when you need it. when your in the text field and the keyboard pops up just pull down your notification bar (which i have programmed as a home swipe up) and click 'choose input method' and switch at will. just make sure you have the keyboards in question active.
any updates on the fix for recent apps? everything looks good on my phone at 420 DPI except the recent apps - not sure which app to reset to 640 dpi

wallpaper dims when applied

Why the wallpaper dims when i applied as my home screen wallpaper?any way to fix this? I need full brightness
If you set WP from within the Settings -> Display -> Wallpaper you should click little "drop" icon with the sign "Illusion" in the bottom left corner and then move the slider to the left-most position. By default it is set at ~20% blur for some reason.

I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy!
Does anyone have a solution???
Nougat doesn't have dimed wallpapers anymore by default
still on marshmallow.. i dont think it's a default setting, more of a bug? it didnt use to happen before, it was quite a recent development for me.
I've tried everything including switching launchers and rebooting the phone, but it still won't resolve.
I don't want to do a factory reset though, that just seems like way too much work.
Don't reset your device, emui 4 dim always wallpapers but not on emui 5
Hi! I'm not sure if this will still help but when I received the latest version of MIUI Global (12.0.2), my wallpaper dimmed as well. I was able to figure out what to do. Go to Settings > Display > Dark Mode. Look for "Adjust wallpaper to Dark Mode" and turn it off. It brightened my wallpaper again.
