Lock Screen Clock - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Has anyone figured out a way to get the lock screen clock to be in a horizontal configuration without notifications?
**I am not talking about the AOD. I don't use AOD.
**I have searched and found no good answer.
** I have tried a theme. Even though the theme shows the clock in the horizontal position, it never worked on my Note 8.

Looking for the same. No need for such a beautiful screen when the big clock is right in the middle. Wish I could remove the clock/move it somewhere else/rescale it..

you can completely remove it with an overlay.

Taskbar clock is analog?

I have the "Display the clock in the title bar in all programs" setting turned on. It used to show as a digital clock but now for some reason it shows as an analog clock (a picture of a circle with clock hands and everything). I can't find any setting to change it back, it's pretty stupid because it's so small you can't really tell what time it is. Anyone know? Thanks

Just tap and hold the clock in your taskbar and select digital. Good luck.

Thanks a lot!
No problem
Im so pleased that ive found the solution to this that i registered just to say thanks! Exactly the same thing happend to my phone a couple of weeks ago and i kept trying to press the clock and it wouldnt allow me to change it back, it was so frustrating! I didnt realise you had to (simply) keep your finger on it! haha! thanks again!

[REQUEST] Remove the clock!

I really want to get rid of the clock on my status bar. Can anyone help me?
you cant remove it but i think you can make it invisible. however the space that the time takes up will still be there. any reason why you want it removed?

If you have a widget clock like the one on sense then it's redundant to have 2 places where time is shown.

Not always, with me having the Cliq and can't change the clock color(yet) We have black themes so we can't see the clock. It didn't bother me since I had Beautiful Widgets at first. But then I realize how annoying it was always switching to the home screen to look at the time if I was in the middle of some task.
of course you can get rid of the clock, you just need to add this line into the statusbar xml file
android:visibility="gone"
that will remove the clock and will remove the space used for it as well, i would recomend you try apk tool on your framework-res.apk
Heres my experience in the past lol, I got rid of my clock, thinking a widget clock and that status bar clock is useless. About a day after, I couldn't help it. Got it back because that widget clock isn't as useful! It looked great at first, but I couldn't just rely on the widget!

Do you honestly want to lock and unlock your phone/ go to your home screen to see the time? Seems kind of annoying to me...

For me it's good cause you can hold the green thing to bring up the (ancient secret)and say alarm or whatever it is to bring up the alarm app.

Um.... that's not exactly the most practical way, bringing up Voice Dialer (Gasp, someone else knows) will close what ever your in (or suspend it technically)

I for some reason, find you an amusing person. I love reading your posts!

Is it possible to hide the click in the top right? (Captivate)

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.

Stock Clock widget anyone?

Hi,
for some reason my stock Sammy clock does not look right... Ever since loading ICS mine has a black background, the font looks different (fatter) and the day/month/date is displayed at the bottom right instead of the bottom left.
Can anyone post their std clock apk?
Also, the original picture frame widget in HC was much nicer. It used tobe rectangular with a "play" button in the bottom right. Now it is either square or displays multiple images and has a "settings" type gear cog in the bottom right. Is this an irreversible change with ICS or would the old one still work and can anyone post that too?
Cheers.
Arghhhhh!!!! Now I have completely lost the widget! I have it in system/app/ but it doesn't appear in the list of widgets when I try to add it to a screen.
I don't think it it is the correct apk.
Could someone with the official ICS upload theirs?
Here's the stock clock widget that i have. http://db.tt/FAV0kukY
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda app-developers app
Cheers! At least I have the clock back now, although it still doesn't look the same as previously...
Normal
Mine
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm also having this problem... the honeycomb clock looks nice, while the ICS one is horrendous. It shows up looking correctly in the widget picker, but its appearance gets ugly as soon as its on the home screen, without any options to tweak it.
Can anyone post a fixed version of this widget? I'd be willing to root my device just to get it back.
Clock Widget
Same problem here,the name of the day does not show there is only number instead.
I tried to swap the clock widget but it wont allow me to do so and I cant delete it either.
Iam new to this android stuff, does the tab need to be rooted and what program is best
to change sytem files ?

I know this is dragging somthing back form the dark ages but does anyone who has(d) this issue know of a way of resolvinf this?
My screen just doesn't look the same anymore at... I used to be able to line up the clock and the weather app (stock) exactly under each other. Not possible anymore, there's a gap between the two.
Or is it just the way ICS is (if you use TW Launcher)?

note 5 black wallpaper issue

Anyone have the same problem with black wallpaper? This is my second note 5 already, the first one wasn't as bad as this.

is this effect happening if you look at a black picture in the gallery also? check that out. because some themes put a gradient effect on the wallpapers for some reason. maybe it's just that.
Test your screen by installing Material Black theme. See if its black everywhere but the lockscreen when fingerprint lock is on. Then you will know if it's your screen or just a software issue.
I'm not only one who have this issue (some t mobile users also have the same issue like me, maybe it only happens to t mobile devices), so I think it's the software issue. Everything looks like your, but the home screen and app drawer with rectangle box.
having the same issue but on top part of the screen
here is the thread i created
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/screen-colour-issue-t3330151
Its only happening on the lock screen. Its because of the shortcuts of camera and phone.

i tried the theme the issue disappears with theme wallpaper but soon after another black wallpaper is set issue comes back
I looked at the OP's screenshot and thought to myself that I only saw the Samsung Pay card. If that thin rectangle is your issue, I might be missing your point, but that to me looks like you have Samsung pay active. If so, turn it off. Does that fix your issue? If it does, then that bar is there for you to swipe the app open. As far as when it is there when on a black screen, my answer is that it looks like that for contrast as it is transparent when I had it active.
BUT if I AM missing the point, I'll gladly delete this post.
any solution found ?
any solution for this?
