[Sug] Possible to remove time from top right of notification bar? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!
Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.
What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.
The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.
What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?
Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.
Any Devs care to elaborate on this?
Thanks.

If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.
I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.

Or try alternative home app: Home++

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.

I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.
I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?!
Thanks.

I don't think this is exactly what you are looking for but it's very close to it.
From what I recall Dutty has never used this in the past, but I like to install it from time to time It also gives you the ability to customize the colors / etc.

Mate that looks great, I dont suppose you could do me a huge favour and either upload it to this site or email it to me? I am having major issues with 4shared here in China (curse the great firewall, I found out that is indeed an issue with 4shared here, and proxies let me get into the lists, and even get to the dl screen but clicking on dl will only take me back to the dl screen... sigh) thanks mate...

[Q] [MIUI] Theme Question, can't read text in Google Navigation?

Sorry, I wasn't real sure where to put this. The screen shot pretty much says it all.
I'm using the theme here, for MIUI, yet this happens on all the popular dark themes I've tried. It's very hard to see the gray text containing address info against the gray background with the popup results menu in Google Navigation.
Is there an easy fix for this? Thanks.

I've always had the same problem. Never found a solution except to use light themes.

LOL??? thanks for pointing this out.. i just spotted this in my theme and totally missed it.. so im going to work on this right away!!
Certainly, it's like this on a lot of themes, even the default on.
I know it's part of the framework, but I don't know what specifically needs to edited to change this without affecting the rest of the theme.
Have you tried this:
(I'm using a French rom, so all the terms I'm going to use may be not the good ones in English..)
Go to Settings, Applications Manager, search and tap on Google Navigation in your apps list, then de-activate Compatibility Mode.. It worked for me with some unreadable white on white texts..
If it doesn't work (sorry about it, first.. ), just re-activate Compatibility Mode (just in case)

Recents key long press for "menu"

Anyone know if this can be changed through settings (or even an app of some kind)? I can't find anything on it.
I really miss this feature from my S5, especially since I don't ever use split screen which is the default for longpress on the S6

I agree. Sorry no answer... but I have seen several threads elsewhere on the topic and this is driving me nuts. From a user perspective: I was previously able to surf on my phone and bookmark / share via the menu key with only one hand. Now I can't because of the change in this key. This is not just a case of stubborness: one handed usability is important for many groups - from the physically compromised to late-night-feeding mothers. I hope a developer can offer a work around soon.

If you're willing to root, you can install LMT for one handed control, including menu button access and the thumb reach stretching pointer.

Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 version Launcher Debug on startup

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!

Question Changed Samsung for Motorola/Google, worst choice ever, reasons!

First of all, I will say that Google is the most arrogant/ignorant company that I've ever heard of. There are milions of complaints regarding the "NavBar stupid/sht pill"/StatusBar. Why, the hell would I invest in a phone with good screen to body ratio and dpi, if I cant take full advantage of it. Before Android 12/13, you could easily remove statusbar/navbar(pill) the way you wanted. But, Google decided they are the boss and removed all those possibilities to remove those via adb. Another thing, if I try to use a custom gesture app, I can only use the diagonal gestures because the normal ones(left,right) cannot be overriden because Google never allowed that. How shty can a company be to not even care of their users and even do everything against them, really!!
Another thing, is that I still dont have Android 13 on my Moto Edge 30 Ultra while I got bored of it when having S20 Ultra! And another thing is that touching the screen doesnt always wakes it up. Maybe is some sort of measure from Motorola to conserve battery because I dont find them capable of doing something good as Samsung did. Is anyone else experiencing/experienced this?
As I said, on my S20 Ultra I could do all the things, apps like System UI Tuner, cmd commands and gesture, everything worked flawlessly such that I always had a FULL immersive experience. After I changed the company, everything is havoc! Google, shame on you!
If you guys emphatize with how I feel, please thumbs up! Take care!
Look how ugly it looks like. 3 years later and will be in the same situation if we rely on these thieves!!

1. I can hide my navigation bar via Settings

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. No issue with tapping the display to wake up screen. Btw, it's not double tap but single tap.
3. I LOVE the new Motorola homescreen especially the new Motorola widget. Everything is there - the battery widget, alarm widget, weather and clock in one. Very consistent, minimal and uncluttered. Good job, Moto!
