I've seen several people complain about the default AOD lock screen clock size. By default, the system will show either a large clock when there are no notifications, or a small clock when there are notifications. There is no way to modify this behavior in the settings.
The good news is that there are a couple of Tasker projects that allow you to change this functionality. You can have Tasker show either the large clock all the time, or the small clock all the time - regardless of notification status.
You can read more about it here: https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-can-help-you-change-the-size-of-android-12s-aod-clock/
PS - I have no connection to the developers that did this. I only saw the announcement and thought it would be good to share. Please thank and support the developers that actually made this happen.
I am doing the same with a persistent weather notification from AccuWeather. Pretty much any persistent notification will work.

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.
Hello. After upgrading from Beans v22, I have questions about config options in AllianceRom, but I'm not able to post in those threads.
1 - The text, numbers and symbols (such as battery icon) in the status bar are a little bit dim for me and I'd like to make 'em easier to read. In Statusbar Options I downloaded a plain black image and set that to background. I don't see a setting in that section for changing the font. It's currently grayish. I guess I'd like to make it bright white to improve contrast. I can't see any effect from playing with the alpha slider in Statusbar Options.
2- Related to the above, I used that same plain black image to background the notification panel to block out the underlying pages and text. (Btw, I wish both the statusbar and notifications panel options included a colorpicker rather than only image-based wallpaper)).
Like the Statusbar section, I admit I can't tell what effect the wallpaper alpha slider is having.
What I'd like to be able to do with the Notification panel is get it more Beans 22-like so it's a one-step process to get to the toggles. In Beans they were waiting for use as soon as I slid down the panel. Default setup in v.24 is a two step process: lower the panel, and then press the icon to display the toggles.
3- Speaking of the toggles, could you point me to the settings area where I can remove/change the toggle choices? I'd like to slim it down to about 10 things I'd use most often.
4- While I'm mentioning toggles, I noticed that longpressing the WiFi Hotspot toggle takes me to the USB/BT Tether screen rather than the Mobile Hotspot config/allowed devices screen. Is there somewhere I can change what happens on a longpress? (Wow I'm a pain in the butt.)
5- Dropbox. I love Dropbox the service, but not the official Dropbox app. I prefer to access it from the cloud section of ES Explorer because I can browse without syncing and just pull over the files I want. In Alliance I don't seem to be able to uninstall the Dropbox app. Rather than freeze/turn off, I'd just as soon dump it. Is that possible?
Thanks so much!

I would like to install a lockscreen app that is simple, nothing fancy and contains only the following:
time and date with day of the week
weather info with a simple sunny/cloudy/rainy/windy icon and degree
can display app notifications with the first two lines of the message, the screen wakes up when receiving a notification
there's a quick access button to the camera
compatible with the 18:9 screen ratio and MIUI 9
doesn't contain advertisements
I've tried a lot of MIUI themes and from all of them I liked the lockscreen from theme "Cynroi" the best. I used CM locker on my previous phones, but I just can't make it work on MIUI Global stable 9.2.6. I would be glad if you had any suggestions or ideas.
Hello good people!! So what i miss in s23 ultra is weather info in always on diaplay like apple or pixel. I know there are some hacks with weather apps but the implementation js usually poor and looks terrible from UI perspective. Alao, who likes to see the weather everytime on notification panel anyway??
Wondering if there are any other options? If not, can we somehow request this so Samsung? This is a big need to make AOD user friendly instead of maybe adding bitmozi and gifs..
Any thoughts ?
I just use an app called today weather and i keep the live notification for weather and on the lockscreen it shows the notification and on the aod it shows the current temp and a small icon of the current weather.

Is the live notification for today weather or the stock weather app? I cannot get it to show for TW nor show on aod Lock Screen
It has to be today weather because ive removed almost every stock app on my device
If you remember how you enabled that please share. I cannot find a way to add anything to the aod lock screen

And on my aod it shows the current temp as a little notification circle thing. You have to have aod show notifications
You can do that with weather bug as well. But the bubble is always there hindering space for other notifications and the weather is always on in notification panel which i find disturbing so stopped using it. I understand these are just work arounds but i wonder, is it possible to bring pjxel like AOD in samsung? The finishing is way better in pixel although it supports less options.
