    Question Remove clock completely from notification bar?

    I don't want the clock in my notification bar as it is already on my home screen and lock screen! I have been looking online for a while to find this and cant seem to find a way. Has anyone done this yet? And, if so, how?

    Don't think you can unless there is a ROM out there with that choice.

    Aokp and probably other AOSP roms have this option. I don't think beans does. Haven't been on synergy in a while so not sure about it. If you are on Andy deodexed rom though, you could just figure out how the clock works and edit XML files yourself. Not easy. Might could just kill the clock XML file and it go away?

    All of this requires root access

    I used to have this option in a rom I used for the OG Droid. Like you I didn't think it was necessary so I went without it for a short time before I realized how much I looked at it when using apps. It doesn't really bother me now because I use Apex and hide the notification bar.

    i know i can hide the whole notification bar but thats not what i want.

    And i really dont feel like diving into xml files!

    i have come across a few threads where people on other devices themed or removed it but didnt really figure out how they did, and even so if that would work on this phone!

    You can simply delete xml files using root explorer. Hunt arround systemui.apk and see if you can find clock xml files. I'd just try deleting a few of them via ninjamorp and see what happens. Just nandroid back if you screw up. I think it's fun to poke around like that and I bet you end up killing that clock easily.

    I know if you search for "clock, android, theming, ICS" that you'll probably come across some XDA threads that tell you exactly which XML file controls clock justification. If it's a XML file strictly devoted to clock color and placement, then nuke it. It may, however, have other things in it. Experiment and report back.

    I would ask the question in the xda Synergy thread...Eschelon is really helpful, and I bet Esch or someone else can point you to the exact xml file to manipulate.
