Now why would you want to do that? You have too much time on your hands.

So I take it that it cannot be done?

i take it that it probably cannot be done as that side ir your notification bar, when ever you get a text or something goes on text flashes on it. but if you download certain apps, eg. advanced taskiller, 3g watchdog, setcpu
they occupy that space nicely

You can download phono from the market it will put a carrier logo on the top bar to the left.

title bar clock and htc home clock off by # of seconds

has anyone noticed that if you have both the htc home plugin and the title bar clock on the home screen that they are off by a number of seconds?

Happens to mine on my Mogul. Wish I could just take the clock of the title bar and just have the plug in.
there are REG edits to take the clock off of the title bar... If you need your clock to be more accurate than what the one on the phone is you should probably be using something a little better than your phone to tell time!
strange my 6700 didnt have this problem
could someone with a solution shed some light onto this matter

Then again, if you buy an IT device that costs as much as the Hermes, you'd think that the clock would be accurate.

I tried the reg edit but there is a block where the time used to be, and while it blends in with the bar itself, it overlaps the item to its left a little.
And i have the same problem. its weird.

[Q] Clock vs. Battery Meeter in Title Bar Solution

I like having the "Display Clock on the Title Bar in all programs" option on, so I can keep an eye on the time no matter what is going on, but when using this option the "Battery Meeter" in the Title Bar disappears...I guess it's an either or thing...
Anyone know how to have both?

Flashing a custom WM6.5.x ROM would allow you to have both. Unfortunately, WM6.5 doesn't seem to support both icons in the taskbar at the same time.

There are some great apps that show the battery state across the top of the device as a colored line. Do a search on AvianWavesBattline for that one.
Or I recommend the BattClock program, which allows you to put up a lot of information in the taskbar.
I actually use both...

Cool! I've seen the AvianWavesBattline before, forgot about it, thanks! I have to look up the other one.
I use BattClock too and am happy with it - have it showing the time, battery % and free RAM.

Status Bar Removal beta + FullScreen beta [JellyBean]

Seeing as how some were concerned with burn-in/didn't want the status bar I'm releasing a first step towards it.
The status bar has been removed, however apps don't seem to reclaim it. I'll be working on this tonight/tomorrow and post any updates on it.
This is for Bigxie's v1 version of JB.
Update:
Adding a fullscreen version that permanently remains fullscreen after 2-3 force closes (There's only a few but they stop after a minute or two and I've yet to have any issues with anything else though I haven't extensively tested it).
XDA is having issues with photos for me, screenshot is here: http://postimage.org/image/yx6en8kif/
FullScreen Mode: http://multiupload.biz/0y10uw1bgdgh/FullScreen Mode_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
And for those with issues:
Standard JellyBean:

one questions: are only the icons removed or the hole status bar includig the black background?
the status bar doesn't burn in. the rest of the screen just loses brightness, whereas the status bar is black and doen't emit light. the oleds in this section and in the softbutton-section don't lose brightness because they aren't used that much. that's crappy, cause it is pretty good visible after just a couple of months of usage.

The whole status bar is gone, you can't even slide it down or anything. Also could you elaborate on the losing brightness part please?
Also if anyone else has ideas I'm willing to try them. Causing the SystemUI to crash it enters the correct full screen for a min or two, but that isn't permanent nor ideal.
especially the blue subpixels lose brightness the older they get. entering fullscreen mode, let's say watching a movie, shows, that the status bar and onscreen buttons area are more blue than the rest of the screen. this is because these areas weren't used that much.
samoled is very crappy when it comes to longevity. especially for power users it's really bullsh... i had it on every samsung samoled so far. only omnia 7 with windows phone doesn't show these "burned icons" because it's mostly running in full screen, except you touch the status bar, then the icons pop in.
Lol sorry to say but after reading this thread ... I'm just as confused as the box boy in your phones background... =\ not going to try this one...

I've seen a couple of requests like that one. Notifierpro apparently lets you (I've never tried it) and my curiosity as to how to actually remove the status bar lead me to this. (I'm not so worried about the burn in, and will leave my status bar there, I just know a couple of people seemed to want it gone to remove burn in)
Why not hide it with Nova/Apex launcher?

Because it will come back whenever you go into any other app. I don't care for this mod, but can see its use for some.

Hi matt

I might be able to make an app do it, to swap out the SystemUI.apk when toggled. idk if you can do that with the phone running though.
hi matt
just installed your Full Screen mod
and my Gnex is never starting (stays on bootloop)
I have the Jelly Belly V2 ROM
any idea ?

Probably isn't compatible with Jelly Belly V2.
I've only tested it on bigxie's v1
strange as it it is system.apk or system UI if I'm right , so must be the same on JB ROMs

power toggles works great except for 2 things...

1. No way to set the brightness to 0%.. why won't it go below 10%?
2. GPS toggle brings up location services menu instead of actually toggling the GPS on.
Anyone have a solution to either?
You can always use an app to get those toggles or just wait for the custom ROMS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 0% means no brightness at all......
So how the hell are u gonna bring it back up when u can't see a thing?

Not sure if it's zero but installed power widget goes much darker than power toggle does
Make power toggles a system app with titanium backup, then pressing the gps icon will turn it on rather than take you to the location access screen.

Just move /data/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk to /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk , chmod 644 /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk and reboot.
Need root
Thanks!
I would VERY much like to have no icon rather an an invisible one. The blank space seems off. Any possible edits there?
There has to be a way to get rid of the icon. In the description of the app, he mentioned that it can't because of the api but extended controls removes it from notification but when you enable notification controls, a widget is still left on the screen. Which this one has an option to remove that.

The GPS thing is general. After 3.0 update no app is allowed to change GPS state so you need a work around. Tasker can't change GPS states either. Either do it manually, or install secure settings. Needs root.

Yes ofc as u can see in the screenshot there is a huge space between the battery status and the message notification. That is because of power toggles. I choose transparent but the space is still there, how do I move that space? The creator of the app said it cant be done but I am quite sure someone has done it before...so please help me out

has nothing to do with gps mate
fyi an update a few weeks back fixed the GPS on/off location services bug.
still no way to set the minimum brightness below 10 however.
i have to go into the brightness settings and manually move it lower if i want the screen to be dimmer.
that still bugs me.

Setting the notification priority to 1 instead of 5 and restarting the app removes the icon. The toggles can't be pinned to top however.

Annoying start animation

Hi,
Very satisfied with my new phone, but ...
Each time I open an app it starts with very hard color taken from the icon of the app. Since the color is very hard, it is annoying. I disabled the animations, but stilll, the color is there. I have changed the icons of the apps to a less bright color, but this is not the right solution, I think. Any suggestions? Thanks, Natasa
Are you talking about these icons which show when we start an app?

to be fair it's only on for a split second, you could just use dark mode if it's to bright.

Yes could be that
But i can reach 4 more lines from top contact
Still prefer to see whole screen with logs
Before one ui my favorite phone app was on samsung phones becouse the ability to strat from where you close it
Only samsung does it
You can push on the screen upwards and it will vanish.
