[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Tired Storeman:
I would like to ask if any body knows how to change the date on the notification screen to a single line, rather than 2 lines.

I have a SGS2 with Neat Rom Lite v4.8 XWLSW

What i have done so far

1. Removed clock

2. Moved the settings button to the left of the screen

3. Tried changing <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView........ to android:maxLines="1"

Which changes the date to a single line, but only 1 word of the date is shown (see screenshot)

4. Tried changing <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView.......android:layout_width="wrap_content" to "150.0dip" to try and make the date container large, (no change)

5. Changed <com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView.......android:layout_height="wrap_content" to the "39.0dip" the same height as the notification header (no change)

I am thinking that i need to change something in DateView smali, but unfortunatly i do not know smali, and would not know which line to edit.

If anybody could offer any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is my tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml
