[Tutorial][CM9/10/10.1]Seconds in status bar

[Guest Rydlis]

This mod will add seconds to your status bar (compatible with Electra, CM9/10/10.1 and Sora OS -> This mod will be available in next snapshot also with new Multitasking)

Screenshot:

Download:

flashable.zip

(The version from screenshot)

Flash it through recovery, wipe only cache!!

Tutorial:

You will need:

-SystemUI from your CM9/10/10.1 based rom

-APKMultitool for compile/decompile and sign

-XML editor, like Geany (don't know what is on Windows or Mac)

Lets start modding!

-decompile your SystemUI.apk from your current rom (must be CM based!)

-Now, it depend where you want seconds! In (1)unexpanded status bar or (2)expanded status bar

(1)unexpanded status bar

-open /res/layout/status_bar.xml and find this line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock ... />

and replace it with this line

<DigitalClock 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" />

-done, now you must compile it with APKMultitool and sign it and flash it (template is down) (2)expanded status bar (like on screenshot)(only for CM10.1) -open /res/layout/status_bar_expanded_header.xml -find this line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" android:id="@id/clock" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="8.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" />

and replace it with this line

<DigitalClock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" android:id="@id/clock" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

-also, you should change this line (only for CM10.1)

<RelativeLayout android:enabled="false" android:id="@id/datetime" android:background="@drawable/ic_notify_button_bg" android:paddingLeft="8.0dip" android:paddingRight="8.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

to this

<RelativeLayout android:enabled="false" android:id="@id/datetime" android:background="@drawable/ic_notify_button_bg" android:paddingLeft="2.0dip" android:paddingRight="2.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent">

-done, now you must compile it with APKMultitool and sign it and flash it (template is down)

-hope it was easy to understand

[Guest george109]

Double post - Can you do this on other versions like ICS? Thanks :)

Edited July 23, 2013 by george109

[Guest Rydlis]

for ICS

-navigate to /res/layout/status_bar.xml and find

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock ... />

line and change it to

<DigitalClock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="2.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

(Not sure if the gravity won't affect the clock, you must try it and send a result)

Does it keep stopping?

Does this happen when you turn the phone on, and unlock it, and can you press OK and carry on?

Can you see the status bar at the top with the clock and notifications?

[Guest Rydlis]

I need a little bit more, or you can send me your modified SystemUI and I'll try repaire it

Keep stoping. All the time. When I turn phone on.

I pull down battery and flash it again. :(

[Guest Rydlis]

wait, did you mod SystemUI from your CM10.1(?) or you flash my modified SystemUI? The problem can be in SystemUI, my modified flashable SystemUI is from Dazzozo's CM10.1

excuse my English
