Is there a way for the date to appear in the local language?
For example, Δευτερα, 10 Μαρτιος 2012 in greek or whatever language the phone's locale is.

are you talking about this mod or in general? It should use the phone's locale, but I haven't tried it cause I always have it in English and now I use AOKP M4 which is different and I haven't applied this mod.

I am talking about this mod in particular. In the XML file nikosrs4 is editing, there is no mention of locale or specific format string for the date.

Anyway, mine isn't AOKP, so the strings mentioned in this mod do not match mine.

Yes that's true, there is no Locale in these xmls. But I found a Locale mention in a smali file in systemui but I don't have that knowledge to work it out unfortunately.

On AOKP there are 2 ways.

This first part is only for AOKP roms!!
You can change the small "Day of the week" that is next to the clock via SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\Clock.smali
find the line
Code: 
const-string v25, "\uef02EEE \uef03"
and change the EEE to whatever you want.
Code: 
EEEE	Day of week FULL  eg Sunday
EEE	Day of week  SHORT  eg Sun
	
dd	Day of the month 01-31
d	Day of the month 1-31
	
MM	Month 01 -12
M	Month 1-12
MMM	Month name SHORT  eg Jan
MMMM	Month  name FULL  eg January
	
yyyy	Year 4 digit
yy	Year 2 digit
	
kk	Hour 24
h	Hour 12
mm 	Minute
a	AM / PM indicator
zzzz	Time zone eg GMT+01:00


Any extra characters you want displayed ( / , . -) need to be inside an 'apostrophe'.
So Sun 10/6 (Sun 10th June in UK format) would be
Code: 
    const-string v25, "\uef02[COLOR="Lime"]EEE d'/'M[/COLOR] \uef03"


Screenshot_2012-06-10-23-37-37.jpg






If your on a none AOKP rom (or if you want to change the expanded date view) you need to change 2 things.

First go to SystemUI.apk\res\values\strings.xml and change
Code: 
    <string name="status_bar_date_formatter">%[COLOR="Red"]2[/COLOR]$s</string>
to
Code: 
    <string name="status_bar_date_formatter">%[COLOR="Lime"]1[/COLOR]$s</string>

then go to SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\DateView.smali and find
Code: 
    const-string v4, "EEEE"
and change the "EEEE" to whatever you want.

So Sunday 10 June 2012 would be
Code: 
    const-string v4, "EEEE d MMMM yyyy"

I tried this mod on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 i317, it did not work.
In fact I decompiled & compiled the SystemUI.apk successfully. But somehow the changes are not reflecting.

Can someone help me?

If it's stock, it has touchwiz framework too, that's why it didn't work. They need to be changed too but I don't know the procedure :(

@nikosrs4 I am trying to do this mod for a Nexus 4, on android 4.3, AOSP rom. What lines do I edit because I can't find the lines that you said I have to post above. I thought I'd try it anyway but it didn't turn out right. Here's the link for my status_bar.xml: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5663ax6wwpqx5fn/status_bar.xml

you're using a custom rom, did you see if it has the option to have the date there? also, you have enabled the center clock, you have to disable it.
Does your xml include the date or is the rom's default one? cause I can't find the date line.

The xml attached is the rom's default one. There is no option in the rom, i'm trying to add it and make a mod. The rom i'm using has the option to use either left clock or center clock

    This mod will let the date always displaying in statusbar, like the clock does..check the screenshot. I also removed date from notification header, since it's already in statusbar.
    For the center date in AOKP go to the end of the post.
    Always backup before you try anything!

    screenshot2012021102411.jpg


    You have to decompile(apk manager does it) SystemUI.apk.

    Go to file SystemUI.apk\res\layout\status_bar.xml
    find the line 15
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

    place on top of it the line
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/clock" />

    so it will look like that
    Code: 
            </LinearLayout>
        [COLOR="Red"]<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/clock" />
        <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />[/COLOR]
    </LinearLayout>

    now here, I set the
    Code: 
    android:paddingLeft="4.0dip"
    with the same value in both clock and date, so they have the same space at the left.

    With this setup, you will always see date and then clock at the right of the statusbar(I haven't test something else yet).

    if you want to delete the date from the notification header, do the following
    in the file SystemUI.apk\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml delete the following line
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:paddingLeft="16.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

    and in the line
    Code: 
    <ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button" android:paddingLeft="8.0dip" android:paddingRight="8.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_quicksettings" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/date" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
    replace the
    Code: 
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/date"

    with the following(it maybe not crucial, but I did it)
    Code: 
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

    it should look something like that

    tut1ec.jpg


    the text size is probably looking different between date and clock, so in the file SystemUI.apk\res\values\styles.xml is the text size of both.
    clock
    Code: 
    <style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
        <item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
    </style>

    and date
    Code: 
    <style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
        <item name="android:textSize">16.0sp</item>
        <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
    </style>

    I changed both with
    Code: 
    [COLOR="Red"]<item name="android:textSize">[B]14.0sp[/B]</item>[/COLOR]

    Center Date in AOKP roms
    although if you enable every statusbar icon(bt, vibrate,alarm,wifi etc) it will look messy cause the clock overlapse the icons.

    since AOKP rom has an option to set the clock in the center, it's quite easy to have the date in that order too.

    in file SystemUI.apk\res\layout\status_bar.xml copy&delete or cut the line
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/clock" />

    and place it in top of (watch the centerclock, not just clock)
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.[COLOR="Red"]CenterClock[/COLOR] android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/center_clock" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

    so it will look like that
    Code: 
        <LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/center_clock_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/center_clock" />
        <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.CenterClock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/center_clock" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
    </LinearLayout>

    now in the end of the line you cut/copied change the "@id/clock" into "@id/center_clock", so it will look like that
    Code: 
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/center_clock"

    now you're good to go, it will look like that(it won't be in italic, I just changed it) and choose center clock in ROM control options in settings, otherwise you'll have center date and clock at the right which is also nice :p

    screenshot2012021217212.png


    I hope I didn't forget anything :)

    Recompile and push it/flash it.

    submit your comments and mods, left, center date or whatever :)

    On AOKP there are 2 ways.

    This first part is only for AOKP roms!!
    You can change the small "Day of the week" that is next to the clock via SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\Clock.smali
    find the line
    Code: 
    const-string v25, "\uef02EEE \uef03"
    and change the EEE to whatever you want.
    Code: 
    EEEE	Day of week FULL  eg Sunday
EEE	Day of week  SHORT  eg Sun
	
dd	Day of the month 01-31
d	Day of the month 1-31
	
MM	Month 01 -12
M	Month 1-12
MMM	Month name SHORT  eg Jan
MMMM	Month  name FULL  eg January
	
yyyy	Year 4 digit
yy	Year 2 digit
	
kk	Hour 24
h	Hour 12
mm 	Minute
a	AM / PM indicator
zzzz	Time zone eg GMT+01:00


    Any extra characters you want displayed ( / , . -) need to be inside an 'apostrophe'.
    So Sun 10/6 (Sun 10th June in UK format) would be
    Code: 
        const-string v25, "\uef02[COLOR="Lime"]EEE d'/'M[/COLOR] \uef03"

    Code: 
        const-string v4, "EEEE"
    and change the "EEEE" to whatever you want.

    So Sunday 10 June 2012 would be
    Code:
