[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badtreep:
I'm trying to center the clock of my Karbonn a9+ using the tutorials here at the forum but I always failed whatever i do. Is it because the tutorials here does not support dual-sim phones? if yes, can anyone show me how to center the clock of my phone.

Here is my systemui/res/layout looks like.

Here is my status_bar.xml looks like:
