adb wait-for-device
echo Device connected ...
echo.

adb reboot

I'm sure it was one of these packages that did it. I thought it was the theme at first, because I can't remember when it actually dissapeared LOL

Tho, the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to think this wasn't it that did it either... I had disabled all of these packages with Package Disabler Pro, and if memory serves me right, the clock still showed then...
