Guys, I have spent all day in the forums, ABD, Kitchen and the tool kit. Hours of scouring code and looking for the N2 version of the statusbarpolicy. smali that I would use to edit and disable the status bar clock completely. Can anyone direct me to the right place to edit the code in this beast to remove day and time from the bar?

Have you tried changing the value for status_bar_clock_text_size to 0.0dip in values/dimens.xml?

Nope.... That's why I wanted to ask for ideas - I was dead set on going after removal and not seeing the forest through the trees

Ok, now I'm really lost and should probably post in the jb forum on this, I'm used to the dimens file being in \res\values.... I'm starting to show my noob side here....

Yeah that's the correct location, did you make sure you decompiled and not just extracted the apk?

I am probably not super qualified yet to answer this but maybe can help. When I use morphology to customize whichever rom I am on, it asks as one of the customizations if you want to disable status bar clock altogether. I dont know what rom (s) you are using but it works on jb, jedi, and clean. Or ask the dev, maybe he will help you.

The Beans ROM has the option to remove the clock from the status bar, so if you look at that code or maybe PM beanstown, the dev, you may find an answer. Apologies if not helpful.
You can download tweakbox. While it won't rid you of a clock, you can hide it by changing the color.

Is there anyway to hide the notification bar clock using an UOT type kitchen file or EDT tweaks app?
How much is it worth to you? Cause the answer is yes, it can be done. Though it's going to take more than a few steps. But hey, learning is fun, right?

any chance you would be willing to do one for the Blue Monkey for UnNamed 1.3.1 ROM?
Sorry I just dont have a lot of extra time to do it myself. We have a ton of other clocks that are on the screens (lock screens, widgets, ect) and I just find it un-necessary clutter to having the same info in more than one place on your screen (for example running Beautiful widgets on the main screen as well as having the Notification bar clock). I would be forever in your debt!!!
Hey themers:
I'm just getting acquainted with making small modifications to the system and am currently working from a stock 4.0.4 LPL based ROM. I would like to implement a 50% translucent effect on the TW status bar.
I've decompiled SystemUI.apk many different ways - as a non-system app, an app w/ dependencies (both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk), I've recompiled without any issues at all and immediately de-compiled to make sure my changes "stick", and they do. I then throw them into a flashable zip, wipe cache/dalvik, flash the zip and fix permissions, no go.
I'm following a guide that was originally posted in the GS2 forum that instructs us to do the following:
1) SystemUI StatusBar.smali - locate the "...Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V" statement and change the const/v16 above it from "const/16 v16, 0x4" to "const/16 v16, -0x3".
2) Go to res > values > drawables.xml and edit "status_bar_background" hex to #7f000000 for 50% transparency.
This didn't work on its own, so on top of that I also tried implementing the same sort of change mentioned in #1 above on both the PhoneStatusBar and TabletStatusBar.smali files. Still no go. The system boots no problem, but just no change in the visual appearance of the status bar.
Does anyone have any ideas outside of this on what smali file or statement in the above files might control this feature? I'm still digging but didn't know if others had attempted this. Thanks to any and all who are willing to help. I don't need anyone to look at code for me, just a gentle shove in the right direction would be fantastic!
+1 for this.
I'd love to see this work.

Does tw use a standard grey block to extend the background for the status bar? It sounds like it would and if that is do you could try adding that grey colour to an alpha channel on the image.

You need to modify the "tw_" variants of the status bar definitions to see anything happen, TouchWiz UI does not use the regular assets/definitions.

No problem, I spent most of last night working out how to move the system bar from the bottom of the screen to the top using a decompiled SystemUI from the TouchWiz rom for the Galaxy Tab. You might find that even though you make the bar transparent that the area behind it is black anyway (it is for me at least using the official 4.0.4 rom) due to it assuming that the system bar is being rendered there. I'm yet to figure out how to manipulate the rest of the WindowManager environment to fix the issue.

That is the E911 lock. It means your phone has a good location to give 911 should you dial it. It can not be gotten rid of as far as I know.

It's the location icon, all the custom theme status bars get rid of it.
LOL I spent a good 15 minutes searching for the answer to this so I could finally have something to contribute (instead of just asking questions) and google finally supplied a link with the answer! It was this exact same thread... Jeez...
i dont think it has much to do with E911 - if you disable location services it will get rid of the ))) but the compass icon will still be there...

Yeah if you're familiar with theming, it's in one of the drawable files in systemUI, just extract, rename the 2 .png's to .bak, rezip, push back to system>app, check permissions, reboot and profit.

Gonna have to be a little more specific for n00bs (like me, sorta), the file is called "feature.xml" not "features.xml," and I see a few instances of "ATT" but not a whole line by itself - what is the actual line?

You're missing the point...... for some reason, Samsung decided we needed to be constantly reminded on the notification bar that NFC was enabled - we want it enabled, we don't want to disable it just to hide the icon!
just like the freaking driving mode icon and smart stay icon! I turn on driving mode and smart stay at all time, I don't need these 2 stupid icons taking up spaces on status bar! I also have noteII, it doesn't have these stupid icons! Anyone know how to remove it?

Must have been an AT&T decision. I switched from the S4 on Sprint to the AT&T S4 and on the Sprint version there was a clear option to disable the icon. Strange.
for rogers , the file is called others.xml
but anyone happen to know what line is for blocking mode ?
would like to disable that icon.
You see Im trying to port that NFC icon on other S4 variants. Because AT&T is the only one that have it on status bar.. Some people wants it so I'm trying to do it for them.. I changed the systemUI icons.... Some says att and i changed them to default... Anyways that didnt worked and flashing a att rom on my tmobile s4 did the tricked. But also people want the tmobile based roms cause of the wifi calling feature

If you are on a TW ROM it won't work, it states in the first few lines of the OP it is only for AOSP Roms.
Also I believe the Xposed framework has an add on that allows what you're wanting.

OK, from what I've found you need to install the Xposed framework and then install the Tweakbox, the only problem is the tweakbox I've found is for ICS. It may or may not work. That was the way I found to do it in the thread. I will keep looking because there is still one that I remember reading that I haven't found.
Here is a blog link that says it works for ICS and JB so hopefully it will work, this one explains it with pictures so it should be easy to do:

Well that suck ass bad, it is supposed to remove it from both from what I understood but apparently it does not work. There were posts in that thread that said it didn't work either but there were some that said it did.
If I were you I would back everything up, via nandroid and back your apps up with Tibu, and flash Goodness. There may be other Roms that have it but the only one I know for certain that has it, without going and looking, is Goodness. There most likely won't be a mod made for stock if it hasn't already happened.
When we get official 4.2.2 then maybe, I believe the S4 comes with it stock so if we get the update soon ours most likely will too.

Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.
I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.
This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.
Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!
I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.

Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!
I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.

Click to collapse
Yes in deed you are correct... I guess I should of mentioned that earlier in my post... The thing with that is you can see the difference in the transparency... I am very particular in how I like things to look... I would much rather it be gone.. But thank you for pointing that out...
Let's hope some one takes this challenge before N3 comes out...
This thread is pretty old but I too was searching how to make that black bar go away. I am on the 4.3 stock rooted and xposed. I found a way to do this within 20 minutes of searching.
Install the Tinted status bar module for Xposed
2) open systemui.apk
3) select all activities and slide the bars all the way to the left for the navigation bar tint settings!
Enjoy!!
