Lock screen clock, not AOD clock change - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Can we get a horizontal clock? I can only seem to adjust the AOD clock.

I applied a theme and it was horizontal for a while... a few hours later I look and its back to the vertical one. Anyone else notice this?

Hours and minutes are aligned vertically, if there are notifications.

It seem to be horizontal if you have any notifications. Once those are cleared, it goes back to vertical.

Here is a easy Solution

Takes less than 2 minutes costs nothing, does not revert back after notification or anything like that.

Horizontal clock is an option under AOD display settings. Look for clock style

Go to Settings...Lock screen and security...Information and FaceWidgets...Contact and Information. You can type in something here and it will show up underneath a horizontal clock. If you don't want anything to show up but still want the horizontal clock, just put in one space and no other text.

I've made a theme with horizontal clock on lock screen. This theme used stock icons and a colour is a little bit changed. Change wallpaper and change icons and thats all. But you can create this by yourself by samsung mobile theme editor wish i have later version. So in order to make horizontal clock in this editor you need to use not colour selection on tab lockscreen but images. And upload image of every digit 012345678: and thats all.

This is really the best proposal. I came here to get rid of this ugly clock on lock screen of my S8+. Thank you so much. No theme, nothing. :good:
Edit: does not work. The horizontal clock just showed up because there was a notification.

No dice on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for AT&T

Had a horizontal clock working for months using themes, but since the samsung update about a week ago it broke, there really should be a simple was to do this anyway, we shouldn't be looking for work arounds

White square on upper left of my screen

I had installed analogic clock on my diamond, but now, I have a white square on upper left of my screen in all TF3D folders except home folder.
Any idea ?
yes, its a bug
you must restore manila default whith the diamond tf3d setting.
sorry about my inglish
Sorry for my english too.
So you mean, I cannot use analogic clock ?
Or after restoring default manilla, I can reinstall the clock ?
If you have an analog clocl and wallpaper every tab, this is a known glitch, just uninstall the wallpaper mod or the clock.

I had a similar problem: Backtracked uninstalling theme, clock, curtains cabs etc. Reset device and re-installed, hey presto working no problems.
Time, patience and plenty of coffee required I think!
Good luck

Check from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951 this notice:
Backgound Image on All Pages for Analog Clocks! v0.1 (mUn Back4AllPages_AnalogClock.cab) (8/11/08)
- this mod will overwrite your clocks in some way (i.e colors, size can be set to default). So Clock's maker shd make an update for their clock.
- All Analog clock's cabs have 1c684cd8_manila. It shd b exluded in other way u will get background on home page and white square on other pages.
I installed the backgroundalltabs for an analog clock on my HTC FUZE(AT&T). Once I installed the "xperia like clock", I began receiving the white squares! I thought the analog .cab would fix this problem. Does anyone know of an analog clock that would definitely work??
Thanks!
i think the xperia clock counts as a "big" clock and does not work with bgonalltabs for analogs.
not 100% sure. try installing a "small" analog clock to check if the .cab works.

Question about White Theme for SPB3.5

I'm just curious.. I have an Omnia and for the startbar and the bar below you can't select full white or full black.. Is there any way to change this properly?
Now for my real question: I noticed that SPB MS 3.5 and also mskip's widgets are both mostly based on a black theme.. I wondered if there is some way you could change it to white?
Another problem: When I change the qa_fundotela2.dat files from black to white.. It actually doesnt change anything about the looks.. but when I scroll now.. Old icons stay in the screen and I get an overlap of everywhere I scroll.. Seems not right?

Weather animations on home screen only, Verizon WinMo 6.5

Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).
I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.
So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I believe this is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall
This has the patch included already.
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...

Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
So now I have another question:
When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.
These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.

does this work on sprints 6.1

I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.
Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.

Faint horizontal white bars on black wallpaper.

Just got the S7 edge yesterday, everything is going fine except one thing.
I set a black wallpaper to take advantage of this beautiful AMOLED screen.
But when I set it, I get very faint white horizontal bars on top of the screen. It's not that my screen is broken, it's completely black when I see that image in the gallery, but when I set it as a wallpaper, I get the faint white bars. I tried it on the stock launcher as well as Nova & Apex. It's persistent in all the launchers.
I thought it might be because of the "shadow effect" many browsers have, but I turned the shadow off & yet it was there.
Anyone else have this issue? How do I fix it?
Thank you.
Edit:
I'm including 2 screenshots of the home screen. One of them is edited to make the bars more prominent.

It's normal and part of the stock framework and would need editing to remove. Doesn't bother me.
You could use a launcher like Nova and work on the transparency of the notification bar, or use a gesture to hide it entirely. I believe it's done so that you can see the notification bar in a black on black situation.

Won't make a difference, it's not part of the status bar.

Huh... Weird. That's a bummer. Anyway, hopefully I'll get used to it & not notice it as much.
Thanks.

I downloaded the trial for that theme. Agreed it's a beautiful theme, but it doesn't solve the problem for me.
Yeah, I noticed that too as I actually have the same exact wallpaper haha.

Found a temporary fix.
Setting the wallpaper using KLWP.
It falls under the "live wallpapers", even if you just set a static wallpaper & the white bars don't show up on a live wallpaper.

Help finding Black Lock Screen Wallpaper

Hi team!
I just got the Essential yesterday and am really enjoying it. One problem I'm having is after applying a theme to my lockscreen notifications using substratum I'm unable to find a matching black lockscreen wallpaper. Everything I try is making it slightly more gray than the notification backgrounds and I really want it to just be black. Applying the same background in the home screen does look like the black I'm looking for - it's just the lockscreen giving me the issue so I don't think another pure black wallpaper will do the trick.
Try this.
It was created with a editor and is as black as you can get.
You will need to zoom to get it to cover the whole screen. Otherwise you get a thin gray bar at the bottom.
