Bug 39 – Add option to disable notification bar clock in spare parts
Shows how much I'm paying attention on a Friday :icon_ banana:
I've spent hours trying to figure this out. I've tried using Notepad+ to compare StatusIcon.smalis from stock service.jar with those from themes with the clocks removed and just can't get it. There seems to be very slight differences between the two, but I have no idea what I'm actually looking at. Making what I think are the correct edits results in a boot loop or the clock still being there. Guess I'll jump on IRC and beg for help.
The sad thing is that when I removed the clock on stock Froyo, it made me nuts and had to put it back. Now it's making me nuts *not* being able to get rid of it. What did I do to deserve this oh lord?

to remove the clock in-code, you simply get ahold of the TextView that it displays as, and set it's visibility to "gone". there are 3 types of visibility for a view: "visible", "invisible" (space is left), and "gone" (as if the view was never added to the layout).
i have no idea how this would be modified in smali, but never fear, the bug is on the bug tracker and i have already decided to include it in the next release. if you can't wait until then, well i hope at least that this has given you a little bit of direction on where to look to fix it
Which doesn't work on source-built ROMs.

Thanks for the advice, it at least gave me a glimmer of hope that I could do this! I'm glad to see the option will be in the next version, but this is one of those "I'm on a mission" things at this point.
One question though: I can't remember where I got the idea that the clock was even in StatusBarIcon.smali. Do you know if that's correct? Or did I just assume it and I'm wrong?
really? I haven't used it in a while, but it worked on CM back before the clock settings were in spare parts

I cant get into bugzilla to send a request, but I think it would be nice to have 10% battery increments and be able to enable and disable them and edit their colors from spare parts
Let me rephrase that:
It worked up to whatever version of CM I was on the last time I successfully used it. I know it's been updated to work with some revision of Froyo. It does not work on Sapphire.

The battery colors are .pngs, so those would have to be edited thru framework-res.apk. I put in my own custom 10% battery increment .pngs, but haven't paid enough attention to see if framework is actually reporting the 10% increments. I also don't have %s in the .pngs, which makes it harder to tell if x is 60% or 70%, etc.

Yea, i know they are. I can edit my own, but CM has the option in spare parts. And no, it only reports 20% increments unless you like build it into the rom or something? Im not sure how its done.
ah bummer. xUltimate is a sweet program
It may work on colors, etc with Sapphire, but the only thing I've tried is removing the clock.
Man I want that clock gone! Just so I realize how convenient it really is and add it back.
I would like to see the option to remove it because it drives me nuts :icon_eek: to see the clock in the top right when you have a big clock right underneath it when using Beautiful Widget.
