Hello folks,
Maybe you didn't get it straight from the title, what I mean I have an Xposed module displays a piece of info on the statusbar next to the clock, actually it's meant to be a part of the clock as one text element "I don't know why or what's the point?" so the info text follows whatever the clock does, the problem here when I hide the clock on lockscree the text disappears where which I need it there to be displayed no matter where.
So my question, is there any kind of trick in which it manage to take/grab any activity element of an app and put it somewhere else is possible to be displayed on while the info still synchronize its data e.g. as a widget in lockscreen?
Thank you in advance

Hi I'm running the Hyperdrive rom and would like to get this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock ) lockscreen widget to start open on my phone. Right now it only displays the clock part and I have to pull the little transparent box down to view the notifications. I would rather have the widget be displayed like this

Those last two links don't work. Have you tried WidgetLocker and one of the many UCCW widgets? When I used to use a lock screen that was my set up. WidgetLocker also has a hide notification bar option so it's truly full screen.
Here are some options I found with a clock and dynamic unread message notification:
• Quick Settings
• UCCW Stripes
• Cabona UI
There's tons more.

Thanks for responding, but i'm looking to get this dashclock widget working. I uploaded the screenshots as attatchments so maybe you can get a better idea of what I am talking about. Right now the widget starts minimized and I have to swype down to open it which defeats the purpose of the widget. I think this is a feature of touchwiz, not sure though. I would like to start the widget in a maximized state so I can easily view all of the info it provides. I don't see how I can accomplish this with widgetlocker. Thank you for helping out though.
I get that the developers/designers are only doing themes for specific screen resolutions right now, but why is the core tools for creating custom Themer widgets restricted by large grid settings?
Confused as to what I mean? Please let me explain.
I can create a custom widget, which starts with the background box. But, in order to line the background box up with my home page background, I have to set the color of the background widget to a solid color and then resize it since it doesn't visualize the snap-to grid element (which it does).
So, as I said above, why is this limitation there in the first place? On my Note 2 I can't create a widget that goes to the top of my screen because it is out of bounds of my screen and when I go to add elements to the widget, they don't line up correctly unless I resize the widget background box to snap to below the top of my screen (by a good amount).
So, is it at least possible to have the default grid snap distance greatly reduced or give us an option to set it ourselves in regards to setting the widget itself?
I've encountered zero issue with moving elements within a widget box other than the inability to lock items individually once placed (that would truly help in them designing).
Sorry for any confusion, I'm not aware of the standard labels for the various design elements of a widget or the like.

Hows it going? Im Bill from MCS.
Im a still a bit confused as to what you are asking and what tools it is that you are using in Themer that are giving you the issue.
Im sure you have already made sure that padding is turned OFF in the settings, but I have to say just to be safe.
IF you are getting spaced on the sides or top or your widget, you might want to check to see if you are using odd numbers for the Grid (rows and columns). Because of the way custom build widgets from WYSIWYG editors like Zooper and Everything widget render on the screen you might be a 1px gap if you are using odd numbered Rows or Columns in your grid.
This is the first thing I would check. I have seen an issue where for some reason I get a 2 or 4px padding on the top and bottom of the widgets. It only happens to me now and again. I can usually delete the widget and re-add it to get rid of the issue.
Hi!
After 2 years I am finally back from iOS to Android 4.4.2 on my new Nexus 5.
I flashed the newest version Paranoid Android and now I am seeking for a lockscreen layout that can replace the iOS lockscreen notifications I got really used to.
Dashclock combined with Dash Notifier seems like a good alternative but I now have some strange lockscreen behaviour of which I don't know if it's normal or because of some settings I missed.
Every time I expand / shrink for security code input I see a semi transparent white rectangle (as seen in the pictures attached).
Is this normal? If not is there any setting I missed, if yes, is there any possibility to avoid this? I don't use any lockscreen replacement at the moment...
Thanks!

i stumbled upon dashclock widget and it's extensions last night and tried it out and pretty impressed by it .the problem you pointed out seems the feature of it that a semi white box shows up on lockscreen actually it's part of expanding or shrinking the dashclock. Actually i had a question for you if you could take a look at this link and tell me how to set up dashclock notifier right next to the clock widget as seen in that pic? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51150628&postcount=1237
hey
I'm having a few small problem with a feature I've added to a CM10.1 ROM for my device, the HTC Desire Z. The feature allows you to pick the colour of the status bar clock, yet it doesn't work perfectly: 1) the colour doesn't change immediately, you have to change the position of the clock first (e.g. if it was to the right, you'd have to pick the "No clock" option then pick the "right clock" option again, or if it was "centre clock" you'd have to move it to the right or disable and select the option you had selected previously. 2) also, not only is the status bar clock colour changed, but the clock on the notification pane (the larger clock which shows when you open notifications) is also coloured, which I don't really want.
Here's my frameworks_base commit
...and my settings commit.
I'd appreciate any help, you may have realised by now that I have no clue how to code in java

Where is the guide you followed.. This is all set up by code in the smali..
For it to change "on the fly" the code in the smali or the mod your reading has to allow for it..
As far as both clocks changing color.. It could also depend on the code, but it maybe an id problem as well... If the mod allows you to change both separately then I would look over the ids you changed in the smali to match your public.xml..
It could be that you link the same id for status bar clock and expanded status bar clock to the same exact Id.. So if one is changed so is the other

I've been looking and I don't think it exists but can't hurt to task. I was the simple lock screen clock to show mm/dd/yy, not much to ask. Is there a way to create custom clock faces? the samsung clock face app has nothing like it and i've not been able to find anyway to customize this.
I am wondering if it is possible in Clockface, once selected the Text clock, to have it in other foreign languages.
I could not modify any of them, can't believe something this simple can't be set in the default samsung options. This is where i miss root.
