SwiftJudgement · Feb 6, 2011

Guide is on post 3

Terms Explained

Clock Removed: The clock has been removed from the notification bar.
DateFormat-X: The date has been modified in the notification bar pulldown. Short (12.13.52) Medium (Dec 13, 1952) Long (December 13, 1952) Full (Monday, December 12, 1952)
TimeFormat-X: The time has been added to the notification bar pulldown. Short (3:30pm) Long (3:30:23pm) Full (3:30:23pm PST)
Alarm Clock Icon Removed: The alarm clock icon that appears when you have an upcoming alarm has been removed.
USB Debugging Icon Removed: When the usb is connected in debugging mode, the icon that usually appears will not.

DOWNLOADS

If you don't like the mod, or something when wrong when flashing another services.jar, use this.
1. Captivate (JPY or JS3)Stock Services.jar

2. i9000 JS3 Stock Services.jar

Click to collapse

These Mods all include the clean backlight fix provided by sasovics. They should work with JPY JS3 and Rogers 2.2 Based Captivate Roms. This fix should get rid of any problems users were having with the phone.apk FC'ing.

3. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short.

4. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Clock Icon Removed.

5. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. USB Debugging Icon Removed.

6. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Clock Icon Removed. USB Debugging Icon Removed.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

These don't have the backlight fix. They will work with Captivate JPY, JS3, and Rogers 2.2 Roms . They will probably work on i9000 JPY and JS3 (As soon as someone tests, we'll know for sure)

7. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short.

8. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Clock Icon Removed.

9. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Short. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Clock Icon Removed

10. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. USB Debugging Icon Removed.

11. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Icon Removed. USB Debugging Icon Removed.

12. DateFormat-Medium. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Icon Removed. USB Debugging Icon Removed.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

These are Vibrant KA9 based Roms. Source is taken from Trigger 1.2 on the vibrant forums. If you are a Vibrant user, running a KA9 based Rom, try this out or request your own Mod!

13. Clock Removed. DateFormat-Full. TimeFormat-Short. Alarm Icon Removed.

INSTRUCTIONS
To install, just flash the zip through Clockwork Recovery, or extract the services.jar and push the services.jar to /system/framework. The first boot will take a few minutes (up to 10 mins) then after that it should be a normal boot. This is because this mod wipes Dalvik-Cache.

REQUESTS
If you would like me to create a modded services.jar for your rom, just upload the services.jar and I'll see what I can do.

Request Format:

Rom Name and Version: Ex. Serendipity 5.4
Remove Time: Yes, No, Only AM/PM
Date in Notification Bar: None, Short, Medium, Long, Full
Time in Notification Bar: None, Short, Long, Full
Remove Alarm Icon: Yes or No
Remove Usb Debugging: Yes or No

Standard Disclaimer: As always, you should make a nandroid backup before doing any modifications to your phone. I am not responsible if this causes any damage.

Sorry, what does deodexed mean? I found something like this in the i9000 section and have been using it for a week or two, but I loved how serendipity's services.jar got rid of the usb debugging icon. Do you think you could make one without both the clock and usb debugging icon?

Guide for Removing and Adding Various Items to the servics.jar.

Code:
Directions for decompiling and recompiling the services.jar

I'm going to assume that you both have adb installed and know how to use it.

1. Extract the services.jar from your ROM (make a copy in case you mess something up) and place it in the /tools folder of your sdk.
2. Download smali and baksmali from http://code.google.com/p/smali/ and place them in the tools folder. Rename the files to baksmali.jar and smali.jar
3. Open the services.jar file with an archiving program. (I use 7zip because it's free)
4. Copy out the classes.dex file to the /tools folder of the sdk
5. To decompile, run the following command from the command prompt (Directory set as the /tools folder of your sdk)

Code:

java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex

6. Now you should have a "classout" folder inside "tools"
7. Apply various mods
8. To recompile, Run the following command from the command prompt

Code:

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex

9. If you applied the changes correctly, you should have a "new-classes.dex" file in your /tools folder.
10. Rename your old "classes.dex" to something else (or just delete it)
11. Rename "new-classes.dex" to "classes.dex"
12. Open the services.jar archive and place the "classes.dex" we just created in its place.
13. Place the services.jar back in the /system/framework folder.

Applying Mods

Remove Clock - Open the StatusBarPolicy.smali located in classout/com/android/server/status. Find the line

Code:

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V

and replace with

Code:

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Remove Alarm Icon Open the StatusBarPolicy.smali located in /classout/com/android/server/status. Find the line

Code:

const-string v1, "alarmSet" const/4 v2, 0x0 invoke-virtual {p1, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Intent;->getBooleanExtra(Ljava/lang/String;Z)Z move-result v0

and replace with

Code:

const/4 v0, 0x0 const-string v1, "alarmSet" const/4 v2, 0x0

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Removing the USB Debugging Icon Open the NotificationManagerService.smali located in /classout/com/android/server. Find the following line and just comment it out.

Code:

iput v7, v6, Landroid/app/Notification;->icon:I

Becomes

Code:

#iput v7, v6, Landroid/app/Notification;->icon:I

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Removing the Battery Open the StatusBarPolicy.smali found in classout/com/android/server/status. Find

Code:

iput-object v3, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->mBatteryIcon:Landroid/os/IBinder;

and ADD the following code below it

Code:

invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Adding the Time to the Notification Pulldown - Open the DateView.smali located in classout/com/android/server/status. Find the following lines, or something very similar to it. The best way is to search for "getDateFormat". I have replaced the line numbers in my example with .line # because it will be different for every services.jar

Code:

.registers 3 .prologue .line # new-instance v0, Ljava/util/Date; invoke-direct {v0}, Ljava/util/Date;-><init>()V .line # .local v0, now:Ljava/util/Date; iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/DateView;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context; invoke-static {v1}, Landroid/text/format/DateFormat;->getDateFormat(Landroid/content/Context;)Ljava/text/DateFormat; move-result-object v1 invoke-virtual {v1, v0}, Ljava/text/DateFormat;->format(Ljava/util/Date;)Ljava/lang/String; move-result-object v1 invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/android/server/status/DateView;->setText(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)V

and replace that with

Code:

.registers 4 .prologue .line # new-instance v0, Ljava/util/Date; invoke-direct {v0}, Ljava/util/Date;-><init>()V .line # .local v0, now:Ljava/util/Date; const/4 v1, 0x2 const/4 v2, 0x3 invoke-static {v1, v2}, Ljava/text/DateFormat;->getDateTimeInstance(II)Ljava/text/DateFormat; move-result-object v1 invoke-virtual {v1, v0}, Ljava/text/DateFormat;->format(Ljava/util/Date;)Ljava/lang/String; move-result-object v1 invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/android/server/status/DateView;->setText(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;)V

To control the length of the date and time edit

Code:

const/4 v1, 0x2 const/4 v2, 0x3

The first line is the date and the second line is the time. In My example, I am using a MEDIUM date (0x2) and a SHORT time (0x3)

FULL would be 0x0, LONG would be 0x1 etc., etc.

Looks great with Serendipity.

I always hated the clock in the NB anyway. lol

Thnikk · Feb 6, 2011

Thanks a lot, just what I was looking for

SwiftJudgement · Feb 6, 2011

JS3/JPY Versions. (No Backlight Fix)

SeanHacker · Feb 6, 2011

nice. i hate clocks

Thnikk · Feb 7, 2011

Do you think you could remove the clock from the latest services.jar from serendipity 5.4? File is attached

Normally, you would just be able to flash the same .zip I attached earlier, but the most recent change in 5.4 messes with the services.jar, so I'll give it a shot.

bdpyo · Feb 7, 2011

I went from 5.3 to 5.4 on Serendipity last night and the alarm never went off using this. I was an hour late to work and my cat exploded. :-(

Debugging Removed!

Serendipity Mods Added!

For anyone that wants the usb debugging icon removed, use these.

2 More Mods added! They were built from Firefly (Rogers 2.2) but will work on JPY and JS3

No Clock No Debugging No Backlight: Doesn't have the backlight fix,

No Debugging No Backlight: Is just Clock is stock, but debugging is gone and no backlight fix.

Do you want it removed from the Notification Pulldown as well?

It doesn't really do too much harm to have the Date and Time listed there, and you can still access the time in 3rd Party apps just by checking your notifications.

mikehe · Feb 7, 2011

yes a cross the toolbar is worthless to me since my widget has it big and nice on home screen

Alright, try this

Its the basic clock removal found in the first post.

Phoenix is based off JPY, so this should work for you.

chrisz5z · Feb 7, 2011

Rom Name and Version: Darky's 9.2
Remove Time: Yes
Date in Notification Bar: Short
Time in Notification Bar: Short
Remove Alarm Icon: Yes
Remove Usb Debugging: No

I know Darky's 9.2 is JS3, but i would assume its similar to JPY.....and i dont mind testing

Thanks

fykick · Feb 7, 2011

It worked fine on Darky 9.2. Just flashed it.
