[Q] Remove Clock on Lockscreen with Blank ttf

[andjohn]

Permissions setting lower down might fix this: "DOESN'T WORK ON ATRIX OR JS7 ROM. If your phone bootloops, just go into Clockwork and replace the font file again with the regular clockopia or reflash on top with the same Rom."

Hey All,
I found an ingenious solution to a problem I have been having. I don't like replacement lockscreens as they are usually slow or odd SO I found a solution. I have a live wallpaper clock and I don't like having the regular clock text on it so...replace it with a 'blank.ttf'

You can't just make a blank file, it must be formatted, so simple google search shows up this!

Change the extension to ttf, also you might want to do this:

You should chmod 644 /system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf after you push it or it can bootloop almost every device without setting proper access permissions for the font.

Enjoy

If using this, its just blank right? Battery, signal, etc doesn't scoot down to the right??

Ya, they are in the same space as if the clock is still there. The metrics of the font is similar to Clockopia

did not work on js7 rom. phone currently stuck in bizarre bootloader loop where the android OS restarts itself upon trying to display lockscreen text.

 

[andjohn]

Hmmm, odd. Well, there we have it. Doesn't work on all roms...

Yep. Avoid doing this on a Motorola Atrix too. Reflashing right now due to getting stuck in the bootloader repeat.

Odd, sorry dude. I'll make a note of this on the OP.

This is a great start and works on my thunderbolt, but how do I get rid of the rest of the info on the lock screen? Like the day of the week, the PM, and the charging status. Any ideas?

 

[andjohn]

No ideas, those elements use the regular DroidSans.ttf font. You could look at the lockscreen zip but I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! :good:

I'm using CyanogenMod 7 and this is the only way I have found, to remove just the clock from the lockscreen.

Ahh, the old days of the Thunderbolt. Looking back it depresses me, but I'm back on HTC now with the M8. Feels way better.
