[Q] Clock in status bar doesn´t change - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Folks,
I rooted my Nexus 7 and it worked fine as it did before with my GNex and my Bravo.
After trying some custom ROMs I decided to stay with the latest Codename Android release.
But now I realize that the clock in the status bar doesn´t change/update the time.
If I change anything regarding the settings in Settings -> Interface I´ll get an time update, but then the clock always tells me the same time although the clock in the lock screen works fine.
Anybody with similar experience?
Cheers
Chris

Typical C.S. answer, but did you try and reboot?

That's weird. I am running CNA nightlies and have not incurred this problem.

Yes, I rebootet the hell out of the nexus
Unfortunately without effect. Well, I think I have to live with that as the ROM is perfect for me.

Have you tried switching launchers or themes?

Really, I don't get it .... Now it works without changing anything.
I have a self-healing ROM.
THX for your replies

how to remove clock from notification bar?

is there any way to remove the clock from the notification bar? if your have something like beautiful widgets running it looks almost stupid having 2 clocks there. or at least have the option in settings to keep the clock or remove the clock?
i can understand the other aspect of when your in applications people would like to see the time in the notification area. but i just wana see if i miss it or not.
i gave it a quick google, and most of the responses were fairly old and for different handsets. just wondering if it is possible?
im running SuperE 1.0.1 on a 32A, cheers!
something to try.
check your spareparts app (mine is ver. 2.1_update1) it has user UI tweak at the bottom.
Clock can be set to hidden. (may not work)
while your are there, make the clock color to match your status bar. In case the hide clock part didn't work. (try transparent as well)
yeah in cyanogen's latest rom he includes a modded spareparts app that lets you control this. maybe you can rip it out of his rom and put it into yours if your version isnt the same. maybe can you download it from the market as well, not sure if that version is up to date.
thanks buddy! had no idea i should even look in there =)
the hide clock option doesnt work for some reason, even after rebooting. but changing the transparency to nothing hides it.
only thing is now it leaves an ugly gap where the clock used to be lol. i need to try find a way to remove it completely!

I tried hiding mine as well one day (a week ago maybe?), and it didn't work. Then yesterday I noticed, out of the blue, there was no clock in the notification bar. LoL So it did remove it, eventually.
it works just fine you'll just have to reboot a couple times
rightly so! i was wrong before, it does work. like losinc said u just need to reboot a couple of times. the changing of colour of the clock works too. just took a few times to get it right =)
thanks for ur help guys!
i had problems changing colors in cm 5.0.7 so i updated to 5.0.8t1 and it worked at once
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

[Android][CM7.1][Mod]CustomLabel

NOTE: Do Not Apply this mod for Alpha 3, it screws up the status bar. You have been warned. I will see if i can recompile it for Alpha 3, makes it tougher without sources.
Initially i did this mod for my I9000 which was running CM7.1 and i was only seeing carrier numbers instead of names. I have ported this to CM7.1 for HP touchpad. Flash this file in cwm recovery.
When booted up you should see an additional setting in cyanogenmod settings called CustomSettings, tap that to open custom carrier text, tap that and enter whatever you want to show on the lockscreen and notification bar. Press done.
Install the attached notificationrestart.apk and open it, give it root access, press restart and wait for the notification bar to restart. This is to avoid restart of the tablet before you see the new settings apply. Voila, you should see what you put in the custom name. Have fun and hit the thanks button if you like it. Cheers.
If for some reason your status bar looks wonky after a while use this to get back to original stuff. I changed the dpi to 182 using nitrality app and the wonkiness seems to be gone. I am using iKandee theme from market.
Original Mod for I9000 credits
doixanh ( for his ginger DX settings)
ngiordano ( for his helping hand with androiding)
Screenshots of what settings should look like.
I'll give this a shot. Is there an option (perhaps in the future) to place a .png file where the carrier text is? Similar to MIUI? Just curious.
Ok. dl'ing now. I'll report back.
EDIT: It works! My only issues
A) The notificationrestart.apk installed, but didn't seem to do anything. I didn't notice the change until after I rebooted the device.
B) I'm now seeing the 3G bar in the corner (see the image). Is there a way to keep the custom text, but not show the signal bars?

May be. I will look into it at a later time, no promises. If the status bar gets wonky, set dpi to 182 and see if it happens. For me its perfect at 182 (which is what my phone is it)

For now no. once cm team publishes source I will recompile with that.that well solve these issues. Did you run the notification restart app? I had to wipe data of that apk using titanium backup and it worked fine after that. 182 dpi works fine. Anything less than that status bar gets wonky.

I attempted, but it did not run. Did not ask for root privileges either. I simply rebooted and it showed the text change.

Ya, once you wipe data using titanium back up it will ask for root privileges. Not sure why. 182 and higher dpi works fine.

screen shots are from my phone which runs Insanity Rom and its theme.
The screenshot that I posted is in fact my TP. I'm using the Transformer theme from HERE. It ties in with CM's ThemeChanger. It'll notify you that it's not meant for your device, just do it. As you can see it works fine.

thank u sir!
@krarvind
thanks for this! no issues on my TP so far.
as a little test i flashed this to my T-MoUS HD2 Leo since i could never find a way to set a custom carrier label.
it works great on there as well - with one side effect on the lockscreen. any chance this can be fixed? i just did it on a whim since it's cm7 i figured it couldn't do to much damage. no problems on the status bar, just the lock screen.
i know it wasn't built for this device so don't answer if you don't want to
the top near my label shows a graphic from i don't know where.

I have no idea where that comes from and i don't have your device, so i can't really fix it i think. if you want to roll back, all you need to do is open up my zip files and replace the app and framework files with the ones from the rom for your phone ( not from your phone as it has mine now).
Cheers
For some reason whenever i try to boot a custom carrier label my Touchpad never boots up... it just hangs on the cyanogen mod boot animation and requires a hard reset... followed the instructions perfectly. anyone have the same issue?
after some messing around i got it to boot up for me. then the notification bar went "wonky" used the nitrality app to adjust the dpi. works fine. what is the default dpi again?....

No idea why you have these issues. dpi is 182. Anything above that works fine. Remember I don't have the sources to compile it for touchpad, so I did my best to get it
working

Screwed up my notification bar, the resolution is way off and battery percentage is gone. Cyanogenmod won't let me add it either?? The OriginalLabel.zip doesn't have battery percentage either for some reason. Guess I'll do a restore in Recovery. Thanks for trying though.

[Q] Rotation lock w/ Paranoid Android 2.99 beta-9.5

Hi ! I just got a Nexus 7, and as I will have to work on some UIs for a-non-so-unknown-little-orange-cone-on-Android, I installed Paranoid Android 2.99 beta-9.5 on my Nexus7, very great ROM I must say, the layout changing feature is quite handy and awesome, congratulations on the guys involved in it !
But I got a little "problem", I can't find a way to lock the rotation of the screen, on 4.2.1 stock you got the Rotation Lock right in the settings slider (the one you get by swiping on the right side of the status bar), but on Paranoid Android 2.99 beta-9.5 it's not here. Is a bug ? A feature ? Am I missing something ? I got a Wi-Fi Nexus 7 32Gb, I hope this can help.
Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work on Paranoid Android !

Unless I'm mistaken you can do this from settings > accessibility > auto-rotate screen. You should also be able to add a tile in the quick settings panel from somewhere in the settings. For me it's in settings > system > quick settings panel > tiles and layout.
Note: I am using CM 10,1 nightlies myself, so this may be done differently in PA.

A bit of help with CM12

Hello guys i recently installed CM 12 passed from my beloved Optimus G3, anyway i wonder if it's possible to auto hide the softkeys and make them smaller, also if there is any way to get more icons in the drawer ( increase/ decrease DPI i think?) those thinks are huge!
- Also if you guys can give me some advice on what to install next, i don't like CM, will there be a lolipop version of Optimus/Cloudy G3?

Download a custom launcher from the playstore like Nova or Apex. You'll be able to set your drawer and home screen grid size accordingly. Changing your dpi within your build.prop wont actually give you more space to put icons, it just scales the graphics.
Just install CloudyG2 2.2 or CloudyStock and you'll never use another ROM again . You'll see a lot more lollipop development once all the G2 models receive the OTA update.
Thanks, for the info , do you also happen to know if there is a way to hide the softkeys, i don't think its possible to use g2/g3 tweakbox on CM right?

Not to my knowledge, CM12 is still unofficial for the G2 and doesn't contain the expanded desktop mode feature just yet like CM11 does. I say just stick with KK ROMs until Android 5 becomes stable and feature packed (aka wait a few months).

It does? Beautiful! Glad to have helped. Remember, you can tweak expanded desktop mode even more by choosing to only hide the status bar, nav bar or both.

Screen auto rotation

Is there a way this crap ever works? Sometimes auto rotation works but more often not. And HOW can i disable the home screen rotation?
I don't know what all you guys do with custom mods like this. YES, it's fast and it needs less memory. And then? Soooo much silly functions. One would think the developers hate android. Jeez.
And when I have a simple question, nobody have an answer. That's creepy. Autorotation is a PITA. Same as the status bar in fullscreen.
If someone would ask me, Hey, should I install a custom rom? I would say: HELL NO!!!! Don't be crazy.
I really wonder what you guys all do with your phones and custom roms. Watching animated emojis? That's all?

Nothing wrong with my auto rotation on lineageos 15.1
Also my home launcher doesn't auto rotate - I use evie launcher
Check your launcher settings or replace it with one that meets your requirements
Plus you have posted in a dev section so I'll ask the mod to move it to the appropriate place

Hello
I just tried evie launcher. Same behavior.
The other thing; in full screen I'm not able to pull down the status bar. I checked settings and red online for hours. No way.
Maybe you have some suggestions?

I just enabled expanded desktop in lineageos os 15.1 to hide status bar & I have no issues pulling it down
I have a galaxy s5 900f
Make sure the rom you are using is compatible with your variant
I'm using
official lineage os 15.1
Mind the gapps
Magisk
Evie launcher
You may want to flash stock rom via odin & do any ota updates then try custom rom again
Thank you. I also use the g900f. When I start the device in safe mode, it works as it should. Then I disabled each app which imo remotely might cause the issue. But I want successful to isolate it.
I'm not sure at this point if it must be a app which interfere with this or if it may be also some settings which are not executed in safe mode.
I also tried apps which should allow to access the status bar. But even then, it doesn't work.

The only type of app I can think of that would stop you pulling down the status bar is one that has the permission to draw over other apps & is constantly running in the background
Best thing to do is to flash stock rom via odin and start again
