[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] SignetSphere:
1. Nope. You need a custom framework such as Jkay's framework to modify the status bar. I just don't know if jkay's framework will work on the i9305 you can try searching the forums for a custom framework for the i9305 and see if you can modify the status bar.

2. Oh right you can just flash them through cwm. Kinda forgot sorry lol.

3. Risk of a custom kernel? Hmm... i think there are none, in fact custom kernels are way more better than stock kernels in my opinion. I've been running a custom kernel 3 weeks after i got my s3 and i've not encountered a single problem so far. Benefits of running a custom kernel really depends on how you configure it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Harthouse:
Jkay's framework works like a charm, but with Samsung based ROM's (JB 4.1.2). ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] herobrine_second:
Ok, one last question (hopefully)

If I flash the stock Samsung ROM (if I feel like I want to), will all my mods I've flashed be erased, and returned to stock Samsung? Like, if I have installed boot animations, status bar mods, root, custom kernel, will all these be gone? Will I return to stock Samsung ROM like out-of-the-box? (I understand that if you flash a ROM, that is either the same ROM or an updated version of it, you wouldn't have to erase data, wipe cache to install the ROM right?) I know that CWM will not be gone, I will have to flash stock recovery, but this i'm not 100% sure.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] SignetSphere:
I'm not quite sure what you mean but i think i've tried it once. I was on EMMA2 firmware and I upgraded to EMC2 via Mobile Odin Pro. I think it only kept my apps, settings and some mods but i encountered some problems so what i did it start from scratch and restored some apps by using Titanium Backup. And CWM won't be gone as long as you don't flash another custom recovery or the stock recovery.

My point here is if you want everything to go smoothly is...

1 Backup everything via Nandroid.

2. flash the stock rom

3. root it

4. Install any mod you want may it be a custom kernel, rom, framework etc.

This way you won't encounter any problems while flashing a new stock ROM. But hey my understanding could be wrong :D Better search the forum deeply since more users might answer your question properly. ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Harthouse:
As far as I know, restoring/flashing stock ROM will erase everything on your internal memory, cause flashing stock ROMs are trought/with Odin (*.tar or *.md5 file). So, be careful what you're doing! ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] herobrine_second:
But what I understand is if you flash a ROM that is an update or the same version of the ROM that you are on, your data doesn't wipe, oh well, I learnt something new today. :P

Hit thanks if I helped you! Sent from my awesome I9305!

nah, flashing with odin doesn't wipe data. but you'll need to do it manually anyway, same as flashing any rom
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] herobrine_second:
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions! (basically everyone who posted in this thread-except me) But I have read from many places (on XDA, AndroidForums and many other places) that if you are upgrading from a ROM, or flashing the same ROM, you do not need to wipe data unless the developer asks for a wipe.

I took the 4.2.2 alarm clock from arman68 modular rom and modified it to better fit 4.1 Style.

What I did:

- red bold "all caps" headlines changed to white non bold not "all caps"

- everything else that was red is now holo blue

I also tried to get rid of the ugly bold/slim design of the clock fonts. But that isn't so easy as it seems to be and therefore I failed. Maybe in a future update...

Tools used for my modding activities:

- Virtuous Ten Studio

- ImageMagick (command line image manipulation)

- win-bash (UNIX Bash Shell for Windows)

- Greenfish Icon Editor Pro

- WinMerge

- Notepad++

- my brain :cool:

Changelog:.

v1.1: Background is now black. City names in city selection list are now smaller. not condensed and not "all caps". Managed to make the hour digits a lot thinner on desk clock and alarm screens. Unfortunately they are still a little bolder than the minutes. Seems to be impossible to obtain the same font for hours an minutes by xml editing.

v1.1.1: Added "UTC" timezone. "Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt" had a double entry in German. Corrected that, one entry is now "Saigon".

v1.2: Reverted the grey gradient on the actionbars on main clock screen to what it originally was - a pure transparency gradient. Actionbars on settings, cities list and alarmclock are now standard holo style with app icon (removed the blue divider line on alarmclock screen, because it doesn't look nice there). Changed the locations icon on the world clock screen to the globe icon from deskclock 4.4
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] arman68:
Good job.

I actually like the red and bold/caps heading; this is the way google designed it. But I understand everyone has different choices, and your changes do fit well in the holo design.

To tell you the truth: I have little love for the holo blue. Do you know that the colour blue causes the body to release hormones that keep us awake? Not so good for when using the phone in the evening or at night.

If it was up to me, I would have themed the whole JB interface with the holo orange. For reference, here are the standard holo colours:

[RAZR i Themes and Apps] hypophysis:
No, the digital clock widget has been completely removed by arman68. I've read that backporting the digital widget would mean a rewrite of larger parts of its code because it uses some 4.2 specific system calls with no substitute on 4.1

It worked perfectly!

I’m running a XT890 with locked bootloader and rooted.

My System version is 982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR

Android Stock 4.1.2

Language: Brazilian Portuguese

DeskClock version 1.2

It’s running properly, the texts are just fine.

There’s only one issue, when you start the stopwatch and alternate to other application, the status bar shows the Stopwatch notification (that it is running in background) but the time is above the Stopwatch icon.

This don’t happen to the countdown.

I’ve attached two screenshots to show exactly how it is.

Anyway, I loved this mod, I couldn’t believe when I realized that RAZR I didn’t have a countdown and a stopwatch, I came from a Defy and it has at least the countdown.

Thanks a lot hypophysis!!!
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] Fsmaior:
How do I do it?

Hey man! I have exactly the same version as yours, and my bootloader is locked and the phone rooted. I'd like to know step by step how to install this mod. I've been craving for a clock app with stopwatch and timer...I don't understand why JB 4.1 doesn't have it. I use a third-party app to do the job, but a native one is MUCH better.

I would really appreciate if you could help me with that!

Thanks in advance
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] DMTwo:
Sure!

There’s no secret to make it work!

I've used Root Explorer to do the job, so you gonna need it.

1) Download the DeskClock version 1.2, I've tried the 1.1.1 Brazilian version and it didn't work;

2) Make a backup of your Deskclock and the ODEX file;

3) Delete the files Deskclock.apk and the ODEX file;

4) Copy the new Deskclock to the System APP folder (root/system/app);

5) Set permissions to 644, in case of doubt you can check the permissions in any other file inside this folder, all Apps should be set with this permission.

6) Reboot your phone, I used the way shutdown and turn on, but you can do it with Terminal emulator without any problems too

7) Enjoy your new Clock with Stopwatch and countdown.

I’m using it since last week, no problem was found in the Alarm, Countdown and Stopwatch, the only issue is that I’ve mentioned before.

I hope to help you.

If you need anything else just ask me, I’ll be glad to help.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] Fsmaior:
Thanks for the guide. I just tries it and it did not work. Glad I backed the old one up.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] DMTwo:
What kind of problem happen?

Did you get a FC?

I did everything that I wrote and for me it worked.

The permissions are really important, if you forget or put something else it will not work.

Remeber that the ODEX have to be deleted, otherwise it will not work.

Try again and make sure to download the version 1.2.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2405029&d=1384985032

Well I hope it work for you...
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] Fsmaior:
No, I didn't get FC. The app disappeared from the drawer, so I can't access the settings for the alarms and so on. I did exactly as you told me, including the permissions. I copied both the APK and the ODEX original files to a safe place, but when I rebooted the phone and couldn't access the clock no more, I copied the original files back to system/app and rebooted again. This didn't work as well...it seems I lost the original app funcionality forever...To remedy this I installed Alarm Klock from google play, a nice, simple and useful alarm app.. This doesn't really solve the problem though, because this app doesn't have stopwatch and timer.

This version I tried to install is the 1.2 ...maybe I should try the 1.1.1 BR...

the 4 files were of leaked version, they wipe the device

all those files (modem, kernel, csc) are in this 1 file you downloaded.
