7. HOW-TO hide the clock

First of all, all credit goes to pardonmyfreedom for this method! He posted this MOD for the Droid Incredible, I tested it on the EVO. Thanks buddy!

This reference assumes that you already know how to recompile a framework file using smali/baksmali.

This method will not take up space on in your status bar (This means the other icons will shift to the right and not leave a blank spot).

This guide is a reference for the smali code changes that must be made inside of services.jar to hide the CLOCK.

You need to edit StatusBarPolicy.smali, which is located within services.jar under com/android/server/status.

Search and find the following code:
Code: 
    .line 574
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V

and replace it with:


Code: 
.line 574
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

Probably an obvious question with an obvious answer (sorry, new at this), but do you have to have a deodexed rom for the GPS off reticle removed zip to be properly flashed? I just did a nandroid backup and then tried to flash the zip, but it did nothing. Did not clear cache or anything.

First of all, ALWAYS CLEAR CACHE AND DALVIK when flashing anything that changes your framework. Secondly, yes, you need to be deodexed.

You did not save your changes!!

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

This line DOES NOT exist in your StatusBarPolicy.smali

And yes, the transparent notification background requires a services.jar edit as well as a PNG chnage.

I went through the process and removed the reticle. The process went smoothly. I made a backup of services.jar prior. After updating the services.jar and rebooting, the phone took a long time to start.

After that, I got a com.android.phone FC on startup. The reticle is gone, but the phone FC happens each time on boot.

I copied my backup services.jar over the modified one, rebooted, but the reticle is still gone and phone still FCs on startup.

I am using MikFroYo v4.2 and wonder if that had some contributing factor.

I'm sure I didn't make a mistake in the edit and restoring the original services.jar.

Stpuidly, I did not make a nandroid...

What is happening here? Help?

Thanks.

Sounds like a similar problem I had. Are you copying the new file with something like root explorer? You have to push it to the phone with adb. I was told to do it while in recovery but adb doesn't seem to work in recovery on my phone. Instead I went into root explorer, found the folder and mounted as r/w. You can do this step in adb but it was simpler for me this way since I don't do it often and didn't remember the command to mount as r/w. Then I went to my pc and pushed the file with adb. Then reboot. It will take a while to boot that first time but hopefully no more FCs.

That's exactly what I did! I moved files with Root Explorer because it was more convenient. I will try with ADB and report back. Thanks a lot for helping!

Edit: That did it!! Boot is faster now. I used the HBoot driver, Clockwork, and ADB but it didn't work. Although ADB showed that the file was copied, it was not. I then installed the HTC driver, mounted as RW, pushed via ADB and voila! I would hit the "Thanks" button twice if I could. You saved me from having to rebuild my phone.

Word of advice... NEVER, I mean NEVER, copy/move files around in /system/framework/ with rootexplorer. You will quickly enjoy an unending barrage of FCs if you do so. It's like trying to swap the engine of a car while it's running... Don't expect favorable results.

When you boot into recovery mode to perform the ADB push/pull commands to try new system/framework/ files, be sure to mount the system partition FIRST using the following command:

Code: 
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit

After doing that, I HIGHLY recommend you rename your original file (see example of how to do so below) before copying over a new one. This way if your screwed up the MOD, you can easily revert back by deleting the new file and renaming the old file back. It's much quicker than a full nandroid!
For example let's say you are going to use a new services.jar

Code: 
adb shell
cd /system/framework
mv services.jar services.jar.original
exit

Now issue your adb push/pull commands.

This reference assumes that you already know how to recompile a framework file using smali/baksmali.

This method will not take up space on in your status bar (This means the other icons will shift to the right and not leave a blank spot).

This guide is a reference for the smali code changes that must be made inside of services.jar to hide the CLOCK.

You need to edit StatusBarPolicy.smali, which is located within services.jar under com/android/server/status.

Search and find the following code:
Code: 
    .line 574
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V

and replace it with:


Code: 
.line 574
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


UPDATE: In v3.70, its .line 575 instead of .line 574

___________________________________________________________________

Question, Under "replace it with", what should it look like once replaced?
Code: 
.line 574
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
^^like this^^
Code: 
.line 574
invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V
^^or this^^

    Does anyone know where the notification smali file is located in Gingerbread?

    com/android/server/status no longer exists in the classes.dex. There are only folders for "am", "connectivity", and "location".

    I am running Droid X with the leaked gingerbread.

    Remove AM/PM from 12 hour clock

    Okay guys, at the prodding of SteelH, who has taken me out of semi-retirement, I took a look at this VERY quickly, as this is not something I use, since I remove the clock all together.

    However, since this has already been done by someone else on Samsung phone, probably using a technique different than what I would have pursued (not that there is anything wrong with it), it prevents me from having to figure it out, and rather, just "apply" the principle to our Sense tweaked services.jar instead.

    So, if you want to manually modify your services.jar file to remove am/pm from your clock (note, this may break 24 hour display all together, not sure, I didn't bother testing), decompile and open /com/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy.smali, and wholesale replace the updateClock() method in your existing file with the following tweaked version I've provided:

    Code: 
    .method private final updateClock()V
    .locals 6

    .prologue
    .line 940
    iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->mCalendar:Ljava/util/Calendar;

    invoke-static {}, Ljava/lang/System;->currentTimeMillis()J

    move-result-wide v1

    invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Ljava/util/Calendar;->setTimeInMillis(J)V

    .line 941
    iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->mClockData:Lcom/android/server/status/IconData;
    
    iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;

    invoke-static {v1}, Landroid/text/format/DateFormat;->getTimeFormat(Landroid/content/Context;)Ljava/text/DateFormat;

    Credit to s0niqu3 for the original mod concpet. I opened it up and pulled what was needed to manually apply the same to our version, which was not a 1-to-1 copy / paste, unfortunately, but rather, took a little massaging due do framework differences.
