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.

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!
I was curious if a fullscreen home screen is possible? Which still included everything on the notification bar. So instead of white or black like alot of themes out there it would be more of the background still including the icons and such.

home++ is fantastic but i think he wants an invisible notification bar with all the icons still there, right?
In which case, people have been trying for ages but i'm pretty sure it can't be done.

Yeah thats what I'm asking. I have a BB Storm 9530 and I was able to make my themes like what Im asking.
People tried to do it before but as soon as you add some transparentcy to the status bar it just shows black in the background. If you 're determined enough, you can colormatch your status bar to the backgound that you use and make it work that way although it sounds like too much work to me.
Good luck.
The main problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn only to the bottom of the status bar.
The second problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn by the Launcher itself rather than being drawn UNDER the launcher.
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!
Correcct me if im wrong but the lockscreen shows the time correct?

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 there any way easily to get rid of the clock and the battery icon in the top status bar? Those are the only two i'd like to hide, because of Beautiful Widgets and BattStat there's no reason to have them up there anymore.
Thanks!

If you're using LauncherPro, you can hide the whole top taskbar. I don't know about just the clock and battery icons

I am using LaunchPro, but I do not want to hide the whole taskbar. Just the battery icon and time.

bump for any ideas..
I'd like to know this as well. It seems like it's a trivial thing to do with CyanogenMod + Spare Parts, and also supposedly easier with 2.2 (and who knows when we'll get that....).
I've seen a few hacks that basically move its position off the screen, but I was hoping for something a little more elegant than that.
For the battery icon, I just replaced it with one that's actually useful.
My googlefu seems to be failing me at the moment so I can't link you to that hack. It's somewhere on these forums though.
I have several status bar icons (not notifcation icons) that I want always visible, but after a couple, they just turn into one dot and I cant see them unless I swipe down the notification bar. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I'm rooted on LineageOS with Magisk 22.1, but had the same problem on stock. Thanks

I've never seen that. Can you give a screenshot of just before it changes and after?
The dot appears when you have enough notification icons, that can't be all shown at the same time, kinda like a "there's more" indicator.
Sadly the space for notifications is limited to just a few. No way to fix that afaik.

This will install an app called "Rom Control". Swipe from left to open menu, go to "Miscellaneous" and there is an option called "Show more notification icons". I haven't tried it but this may be what you're looking for.
You guys, he said statusbar icons, not notification icons. To me that means the system icons on the right side.

Yes exactly, I tried that recommendation and it not only didn't work, but after a while it stopped showing my lte signal and moved battery percent to left of battery instead of where I had it on the right, like it randomly switched to demo mode.
I'm fine with the notification icons merging, but not my system icons.

Rom control is for stock, I believe.
I've never seen that many system icons. I might be able to help but I don't know I could even manage to get too many. How many icons before it goes to a dot? 6, 7?
Can you give me a screenshot?

Do you really need all of those system icons? If not, there's an app that you can use to remove some of them with.

I use it to hide the headphones icon (I can see the wire coming out of my phone I'm looking at it right now and I can hear the music coming from it) and also the alarm clock icon that is there even on weekends when I don't have alarms set. I know I have 3 alarms set for weekdays. I've had them for years. I don't need you to remind me.

I have clock as military time, battery percentage shown, LTE bars and icon, and it only takes 2 more for it to merge. And of course I know I can hide system icons? I want them. That's the problem. Android doesn't but I do.

There's probably no way to do it.
Let the notifications fill until you get a dot there.
That blank space is where sensors are.
