Remove clock from lockscreen (NOT AOD) - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I want to purchase a Galaxy Note 8. Before I do, I want to make absolutely, 100% certain that I can remove the clock from the lockscreen on the Galaxy Note 8.
Please read that again. I said lockscreen, not AOD (Always On Display). There are tons of threads on the internet and on XDA where people don't read the thread and them make recommendations on how to change the clock on the AOD. I am talking about the lockscreen.
I've seen references to installing an APK or a theme that will remove it or make it transparent, thus making it invisible.
Can anyone please share if they've been able to remove the clock from the lockscreen completely, and how they went about doing it? I would even be fine with a Samsung theme.
Thanks!

I don't know if it will work with Samsung overlays, but it worked fine on my previous Nexus 6P

You can use Lock Clean on Samsung without root. You need Substratum, the Samsung add on and Lock Clean. But it hasn't been updated for the Note 8, when you open the app it says install all options but there are no options to install yet. When it's updated it will take the clock off of the lock screen. I've been using it on my S8+ for that very reason.

Thank you so much for confirming! :good:
I am definitely aware of that app, Lock Clean. It's just that it says [ROOT], so I wasn't absolutely sure if it would work if the phone wasn't rooted. You've pretty much confirmed it for me.
Note 8, here I come!!!

As I said it's not been updated for the Note 8 yet.

Right, I got that. The point is it works for your S8, so it's just a matter of the app getting updated, which is most definitely going to happen. Good for me either way.

ok u will first need to download Widget Locker from Play store (u need to buy this) (or get it the pirated way) ( your decision, but to support the developer(s) please buy it
then u will need to download the Samsung galaxy s3 dandelion live wallpaper by wasabi
then chose the live wallpaper as default one, remember to go to options and checkmark: flying seed, touch, water droplet and touch dragged
open up the widget locker app and delete all the widgets except the clock, long touch till u see edit, choose that, go to background color and drag the slider all the way to the right so it gets transparent, then scroll down to the owner info line 1 and delete the text
go back to the widget locker screen again, long press and chose custom slider,
then press get themes, this will open the browser, then scroll down to the Invisible Tabs chose that, this will open a Complete action with window, chose widgetlocker, it will download, take down the statusbar, u will see the download press on it, it will open widget locker, your invisible theme is now chosen
then slide the right slider to the left and chose disable
then slide the left slider to the right go to icon, chose gallery then chose the blank image provided by me down below you now have a blank slider, then press done,
this will you back to the widget locker app, then long press and chose application, do this 4 times and chose the applications u want there
this icons are gonna stay at the bottom of the lockscreen, and you want the invisible slider to be right over them
And that's how u make a look alike Samsung galaxy s3 lockscreen

Hide status bar icons?

Is there a way to hide the status bar icons without Xposed? I've searched, but everything I found involves using Xposed.
Thanks

I've been searching as well. I'd really like to get rid of bluetooth, NFC, and the alarm icon.
Exactly the icons I want to remove.

In the past it was possible by editing some of the framework files to remove the icons completely from the library. Finding them can be somewhat time consuming. I'll look into it ... I've promised I'd look into a couple things and just haven't had time yet, busy time of year at work and the desire to get outside before the true summer heat hits has been strong ... but I will get there.
this thread shows you how to get rid of the NFC icon. I'd guess that others can be removed in the same manner

I'm not sure if there are options for the other icons in the CSC file. On other galaxy devices you needed to literally edit the framework files because the icons were hard-coded in there.
Great find though, CSC tweaks are always helpful and everyone should be able to do them.

Yeah, kind of sucks. It hasn't been updated since last year. It used to work great and even allowed different profiles that could be changed with Tasker.
How about hiding the whole status bar? Lol. so you don't see it unless you swipe down. you might need another launcher. Don't know if with touch wiz you can do that.

Touchwiz launcher won't do that but you can do that with a third-party launcher like Nova for example. Another third-party launcher I really like is action launcher 3.
Nova launcher can hide the notification bar. its a great launcher

You can change it using different themes from the Galaxy Store, or use Substratum, even better no need to root and a lot of customization.
Here, you can read it and decide

After Update: How to move clock back to right side of notification bar?

Hi ,
I've installed te latest update (Android 10, One UI 2.0)..., now the clock is on the left side of the notification bar, which is really annoying...
Any easy solutions to move it back to the right? Good Lock is not available in my country (Germany)
Cheers
Use SystemUITuner. personally I have everything disabled on my status bar, and QuickStar isn't up to date anyway. So systemui tuner is the easiest method I'm aware of.

System UI Tuner works perfectly fine. Its the first thing I did since updating to 10 on my S10 and have had 0 issues with it (aside from the battery icon re-appearing after restart, which i just toggle again)
Not working on One UI 2.0.
The system icons blink for a second when changing the clock position setting but the clock does not move.
Ahhh okay I see what you mean now. It seems like that's the one thing that isn't working.. that and the battery icon. Other than that everything can be toggled normally.. hmm wonder why
Anyone else has all the notification bar icons come below the notch when dragging down the notification bar?

Some of the icons can be hidden. Like Wifi and Volume, others like Battery stay and the clock unfortunately does not move. (S10e One UI 2)

How far did your "complaining" get you?
I'm sure developers are aware of Android 10 issues with their apps - some of which are provided free - and will publish updates when they can.
Be patient...

Clock on S10 devices has always been in the top left corner of the screen, even on Android 9...
It hasn't been introduced with One UI 2 nor Android 10 dude
Sure, before these it was on the right side, and before the last Update I could use SystemUI Tuner or GoodLock (one of these) to move it back to the right side. And I think many people were complaining. Just was wondering why nobody is doing it now
Alright, no worries, if there's no solution avaialble yet, I will just wait and see.
btw: Is there any special reason why GoodLock is not available in Germany? I always have to remove my SIM and use a VPN to use it.

Samsung choice maybe, idk really...
As a workaround, try to download it directly from APKmirror here : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ung-good-lock-1-0-00-53-android-apk-download/
This version is from 5th August so it has been made for Pie, maybe you'll have to wait for Samsung to update it and make it Android 10 ready.
This is so ****. It seems there really is no solution to move the clock since the update to 10!

I've got an S9+ and also been dealing with this issue. As small an issue as it is, the clock on the left really bugs me
I just installed Good Lock, which led to QuickStar, which I guess is updated now - clock moved!
Just install "Fine lock" from Play Store, then install QuickStar plugin
Great tip! I have installed the apk and have got the clock on the right side finally! (S10+ One UI 2.0).
I had SystemUI Tuner doing this before in combination with the nav bar color option (black). So using both as of today.

Question Is there any way to remove the clock from the lockscreen? And any possible customization on lockscreen?

I know about the double-line clock option in the settings but it's still ugly for me. I want to completely remove the clock and that small widget from the lockscreen. Is there any way to do that?
Also is there a way to customize the lockscreen? I've heard of klck but it seems like this doesn't customize the lockscreen but just creates another lockscreen on top of the original lockscreen? I don't want to go through two lockscreens in order to unlock my phone.
For now you can't remove the clock since the module for custom clock isnt working in pixel a13, but you can customize it a little with aosp mods, i've added custom text below date, custom text that replace operator and bottom shortcut. nothing more for now

Dang. Just have to wait then. Thank you very much for the reply! Would you know which module it would be once it eventually (hopefully) gets updated?

Yes, follow Madness/Kodansha/Mayhem on telegram. All are substratum themes that changes clock and more. Madness is paid on play store, Kodansha have both version free and paid (if i dont remember wrong) and mayhem is totally free and have amazing system/status bar icons to choose from.
