Wasn't trying to dismiss your idea, just wanted to be sure you thought about the fact that you would likely be removing the clear button as well, since, when there is nothing to clear, it's not an issue, since it's not present.
Here's a proof of concept. I played with moving the 'clear' button to the bottom, in order to keep it present, but the space is always going to be there for the button (at least if doing simple XML edits, as opposed to smali hacking), even when the button is not displayed, which I think defeats the purpose you were looking for, i.e. to obtain more space for notifications, etc.Indeed, I hadn't considered losing the 'Clear' button as thoroughly as I should have prior to reading your post. However, after thinking about it, I believe I could live without it.
Sounds like you're running a stock, non-deodexed ROM, which means you are unable to utilize these mods.
The problem with providing any insight is that these types of edits are ROM / framework specific. For example, the stock EVO Sense ROM, that the majority of these mods are provided for doesn't include a % battery text overlay.
You're definitely along the correct path with the StatusBarPolicy/IconData files. Personally, I'd focus on trying to find the location where the text prints and rather than making the text transparent (certainly feasible as well), simply breaking the call to write the text in the first place, though there is more than one way to skin a cat...This is for super circle, as I'm sure you can guess. Presently, the only way I've been able to provide them (I worked with UOT to implement this edit as well) is to do some trickery with the actual png....erase the percent numbers and move the image within and tweak the canvas size. But it's not as nice of a solution as we're used to.
Thanks for the response, though.
Thought you said you had a challenge
