[Guide] How to center clock and change its color in status bar

Kamy · May 24, 2013

Credit goes to raubkatze and ebyee for helping me to edit this guide to not overlapping clock with notifications

Here is a guide how to change the status bar clock position to center and change it's color.

Assuming know how to use apk tools use this guide:

Guide:

Center Clock Mod and its Color
1. Decompile SystemUI.apk
2. Search for Systemui/res/layout/tw_status_bar.xml
3. Delete all these lines

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:paddingLeft="0.0dip" android:paddingRight="2.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/left_icons" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
            <TextView android:textSize="15.0dip" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/carrierLabel" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
            <ImageView android:id="@id/operatorLogoIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/tw_stat_notify_operator_logo" />
            <ImageView android:id="@id/doNotDisturbIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_dnd" android:alpha="0.7" android:scaleX="0.85" android:scaleY="0.85" />
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarIconView android:id="@id/moreIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_icon_size" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/stat_notify_more" />
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.IconMerger android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notificationIcons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/right_icons" android:paddingRight="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
            <LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
            <LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/signal_battery_cluster" android:paddingLeft="2.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
                <include android:id="@id/signal_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" layout="@layout/tw_signal_cluster_view" />
                <TextView android:textSize="12.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6" android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_network_name_separator" />
                <ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            </LinearLayout>
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_clock_text_size" android:textColor="#ff959595" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="3.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:includeFontPadding="false" />
        </LinearLayout>

4. Substitute with the following and save.

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:paddingLeft="1.0dip" android:paddingRight="1.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/left_icons" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">

            <ImageView android:id="@id/operatorLogoIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/tw_stat_notify_operator_logo" />
            <ImageView android:id="@id/doNotDisturbIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_dnd" android:alpha="0.7" android:scaleX="0.85" android:scaleY="0.85" />
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarIconView android:id="@id/moreIcon" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_icon_size" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/stat_notify_more" />
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.IconMerger android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notificationIcons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/clock" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
            <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_clock_text_size" android:textColor="[COLOR="Red"]#ffffffff[/COLOR]" android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <LinearLayout android:gravity="right|center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/right_icons" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
            <LinearLayout android:gravity="right|center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
            <LinearLayout android:gravity="right|center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/signal_battery_cluster" android:paddingLeft="2.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
                <include android:id="@id/signal_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" layout="@layout/tw_signal_cluster_view" />
                <TextView android:textSize="12.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6" android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_network_name_separator" />
                <ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>

5. look on the red part in above lines - this is the color you can set for clock (it is set to white in this case)
6. recompile SystemUI.apk and push to your device

ff defines level of transparency, so do not change it as the clock text won't be clear enough to read.

Put your favorite color code for the XXXXXX value.

Decompile SystemUI.apk
Systemui/res/layout/tw_status_bar.xml

Delete:

Code:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Then find this line and create a blank under it:

xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui"> What's this?

Copy this line in the gap and save.

Code:

<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" /> </LinearLayout>

To change the clock color after

Code:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock"

Add

Code:

android:textColor="#ffXXXXXX

ff defines level of transparency, so do not change it as the clock text won't be clear enough to read.

Put your favorite color code for the XXXXXX value.

very useful guide, mate!

maybe some additions you can post in OP:

the line to delete is named as follows:

Code:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_clock_text_size" android:textColor="#ff959595" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="3.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:includeFontPadding="false" />

for better understanding with the clock color to add, this is how the line is showing up after adding the color string (I set color to white just as an example):

Code:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:textColor="#ffffffff" />

EDIT: maybe you can work out how to make the notifications not overlap the center clock, which is quite annoying...I did not manage to work it out for my own 'til now

eybee1970 · Mar 13, 2013

ok, I worked out the method for notifications not overlapping Center clock (all credits go to raubkatze for the HowTo)

1. decompile SystemUI.apk
2. open /res/layout/tw_status_bar with Notepad++
3. search for following lines:

Code:

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:paddingLeft="0.0dip" android:paddingRight="2.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

            </LinearLayout>
        </LinearLayout>

5. look on the red part in above lines - this is the color you can set for clock (it is set to white in this case)
6. save the changes you made to tw_status_bar
7. recompile SystemUI.apk and push to your device

5. look on the red part in above lines - this is the color you can set for clock (it is set to white in this case)
6. save the changes you made to tw_status_bar
7. recompile SystemUI.apk and push to your device

IF u CAN make this systemui center clock
device - samsung galaxy s duos
ICS

In this status_bar.xml where is the clock size or how to change?
Rename the .zip to .xml.
Thanks!

Does this apply?

Could this work on a Samsung Galaxy s3 running 4.4? I have been editing my SystemUI on my own and I cant seem to get it right.
