The clock in the Quick Circle is very cool, but I have a question... on this particular face and another there's a second clock face. In this example it's at the bottom. It displays a single hand at the 6 o'clock position on my device. In the picture below it's at the 4 o'clock position.
So it apparently means something. At first I thought it might be an alarm indicator. But it doesn't tie in to the standard Clock app as far as I can tell. And nothing I do to it while it is displayed yields a menu or anything.
So anybody got a clue what it's for and how to use it?

Long press the clockface and you'll get more options.
Sorry misread.. I don't think it does anything.. I'll look at when I get off the phone..

If it doesn't do anything I'm at a loss to understand why it would point to different places. Like I said, it points to the 6 o'clock position on my phone but the 4 o'clock position in this picture and others. And LG support is useless here. Hopefully I'll never have to call them for a serious issue...

I would check your clock application. You may have additional clocks for another time zone. That's the only thing I can think of.

Thanks...but if it were tied in to different time zones why is it frozen in the 6 o'clock position regardless of the current time? I do use the world clock feature of the Clock app as my job takes me around the world. I also use a clock widget to display times in different zones. None of that seems to have anything to do with this.
I believe it is indicating the month (June). It should point to 7 in a few weeks.

Happens to mine on my Mogul. Wish I could just take the clock of the title bar and just have the plug in.
there are REG edits to take the clock off of the title bar... If you need your clock to be more accurate than what the one on the phone is you should probably be using something a little better than your phone to tell time!
strange my 6700 didnt have this problem
could someone with a solution shed some light onto this matter

I tried the reg edit but there is a block where the time used to be, and while it blends in with the bar itself, it overlaps the item to its left a little.
And i have the same problem. its weird.
Hey guys for some reason the calender icon no longer shows up next to my clock. Im not talking about the tab icon in the corner im talking about the actual bigger icon....no idea why can anyone help

Yeah, I can help you, but WHAT icon do you want. As you can tell your statement contradicts itself. So which icon doesn't show up, the one next to your clock or the Bigger icon. You said the calendar icon next to you clock no longer shows up, but you want the bigger icon, HUH?!?
no it dosent contradict it self because in the corner of each panel theres a tiny icon and then next to the clock theres a big icon so i clafied that, i need the big icon right next to the numbers of the clock. it was a calender or soemthing please help its drivin me nuts
I think I know what you're trying to say
First off don't be so quick to jab, you are coming here for help you know. I was just pointing out that what you said really isn't describing your problem correctly.
That being said. I think what you are referring to is your alarm. It has a picture and it's right next to your clock as you call it or the time display portion of your Clock Panel. Anyway, it only shows when your alarm is present. Try turning on your alarm and see if that does it.
If that is not what you are talking about, then the only other thing I could think of is that you mean your tiny icon could be your inactive icon or your active icon. These would require registry edits to put them back on your screen. You need to go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Clock and edit where it says the icon paths are. Not hard to do. Also you might want to edit the HKLM\Security\CHome\Default Settings\Clock portion of the iconpaths. This should fix that. If that is your problem. Other than that, you're on your own. Unless you can articulate yourself better or in a fashion in which all can understand you or your dilemma!!
Cheers!

Clock falls behind
I'm having problems with the clock falling behind. I go to sleep, wake up, and the clock is about 20-30 minutes behind. I'm running the 6.1 rom. Any help is appreciated.

So are you saying that, with knowing the right key in the registry, one could change that dinky looking transparent music note on the Music panel to, say, something with more class? I have several icons at my disposal (as I'm sure most here do) and would love to change that icon...Also, the tiny icon on the upper left corner of the home panel just next to the carrier (T-Mo) is just a calendar...it was something different before I hard reset the phone with this ROM installed. If you know these keys, please list them! I'd appreciate it ever so much!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ and HKLM\Security\CHome\Default Settings

Just find the folder of the panel you wish to modify and look for the key iconpath, within that folder. Direct it to your own icon.
FYI export the keys just in case you goof up something, you can import them again

I see where the string for icon paths entry reads 2401;2401...should I just change that to \Windows\music.png?

yup in both reg address though
Also you would have to type it out as: \Windows\music.png;\Windows\music.png
Cause the first is for active window icon and the second is for inactive window icon.
ok well...it changed the small icon in the title of the panel but not the main icon
I want to replace the WM6.1 default transparent music note with the png I have placed in windows...where do I alter that or can I?
can you post a screen shot of the icon you want changed.
i cant picture which one you are speaking off.

Try going to the reg to and changing HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMusic\Images\chMusic_noalbumart and the same in Security reg for chome. I think those change the big default icon that shows when no album art is present.

Thanks for the tip. For clarity, I speak of the transparent music note that is positioned just to the left of "Play All Songs" within the panel. Now I can't believe it'd be too hard to spot. I've flashed my phone with Kavana's so those with that ROM can't have too different a panel!
On that note, pun intended, I may have found it due to your suggestion Showaco! I should have investigated more. I mean it was right there!

so it was the chMusic_playallsongs, Missed it by that - much.
I'm trying to auto-start the desk clock in screensaver mode using tasker.
Basically, I want to replicate starting the (stock) clock app, then long-pressing on it, so that the clock turns blue (I don't want it to dim, which would be a short-press).
I'm attempting to do this using an Action Intent, but so far I have failed miserably.
Any help would be appreciated.
I can create a separate version of the clock that could do that. Any other requests?
Edit: I mean I can build it right into the clock app itself
That would be great. Thank you.
I've managed to create a Component Intent that starts the screensaver, but the actual clock isn't displayed, even if the clock app is already open.

I'm going to create a thread later in the themes and app section with the modified clock app. Would be fun to get some input and modify the app according to user suggestions. Just as a fun project.
Btw I will build al those modifications right into the app itself. (Maybe add some intent "listeners" later)

Actually, here's another request!
Would you be able to include the ability for the screensaver-clock to auto-display after the phone has been face-up for a certain period of time (e.g. 30 seconds), and for it to revert back to the home screen when the orientation changes (i.e. it is picked up).

Lol.. can you describe this in more specific words. What exactly is the scenario here? You have the phone laying flat on your desk and want to launch the desktop clock after 30 secs and if you pick it up it should quit the clock and go to the home screen? Is that it?

Sounds interesting. So you think this is generally useful? Do you have your phone plugged to a power source when you have it on your desk? I'm wondering how the battery drain is when you do this without external power and just a all black screen with only the digits of the clock.
Well I've come from using a Dell Streak, and compared to that, the GN battery seems to last forever!
If the battery is low, I can always turn the screen off, but my phone auto-syncs to my laptop using samba, and I can't access my phone from my computer if the screen lock is on.
My thinking is that having the screensaver active will drain less battery than displaying the homescreen constantly.

Nice nice... for amoled screens the drain would be even less because the black pixels consumes nearly no power. I'll give it a try. I agree it would be a nice thing to have a clock continuously displayed when the phone is laying around doing nothing.
Good luck!
Guys - I know this is an old thread, but the original suggestion is exactly what I'm trying to achieve.
Was anything done on this?
Thanks.

My Smart Notice is set up. I already set it up.
After some researching, it appears the ? on the widget is supposed to launch LG's "Quick Help". I neither would use quick help nor do I use Google Now very much (thus, dont need constant updates), so I changed the Smart Notice widget for the regular clock/weather widget. It *is* pretty cool that it changes color depending on your wallpaper, though.
I'm wondering if this is simply how Google has the Pixel launcher weather app set up or if mine is not set up right? As you see in my two screen shots the Pixel launcher shows the sun but the actual Google weather app shows the moon.

It's supposed to. I too have experienced them being out of sync though. I think pulling to refresh the whole Google now screen should update it. Most widgets are not updated in real time but instead in timed intervals. Seems this widget must be the same. I wish they had settings for just the widget so we could set the interval.
Refreshing Google Now doesn't change the icon, the temperature updates but not the icon. Kind of stupid to see a yellow circle when it's pitch black out.

Completely agree with you. I've never seen the moon on mine, only the sun. It's dumb. You wouldn't think it would be that hard to switch the icon according to the time of day.

Had the same thoughts. Glad i wasnt the only one who thought it was annoying
Can anyone confirm if they get the moon at night in the Pixel launcher weather app??
Surely the icon in the wigit is simply indicative of current weather conditions. I already know when it's night time. Glad they didn't waste resources on such a trivial thing personally.

I disagree, I think it shows a lack of attention to detail and I'm pretty sure in the time it took you to respond to this thread the weather widget could have been mapped to the correct icon. Not really sure who's wasting time at this point but thanks for you insight :good:
Well that was an unnecessarily pointed response. This forum used to be a proper, technical forum when I first got into hacking XDAs. Now it seems to be about icons and fighting each others opinions. I'll stick to the technical areas and leave you kids to whine about icons in this section. I'll waste no more of your time with my opinion since opinions seem to be seen as a reason to be rude to each other these days.
Sorry about that. Why don't you write your own weather wigit and share it rather than whining about what you've got.
Jeez this place has changed.
Well, looks like its linked to the google app itself. I am getting the moon to show up in the widget for 2-3 days now following a google pp update via apkmirror. Maybe a server side setting also.
see here.
it appears they are correcting the situation...
This is good to see. I know some people don't care, but as someone else pointed out it showed a lack of attention to detail.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Mine was corrected by the Google update from the Play Store. Now the icons match, but the temperature shown is still a few degrees off from the full screen weather.
mine matches the icon and temperature
My wife's phone just started showing the moon now. Mine still shows the sun. So they seem to be slowly and silently rolling out a fix. She got no update but is on Verizon with Verizon version. I'm on Fi with Google Store version.

Same here. My wife's phone shows the moon but mine still shows the sun. We are both on Build Number NPF26J. I got my phone from Google where she got her phone from Bell Mobility.
Mine wasn't showing the moon either but as soon as I uninstalled the updates to pixel launcher and reinstalled them it shows the moon now. Mine is the Verizon version.
me too
Any way to disable the home screen weather widget? I use a 3rd party widget and it's superfluous and inaccurate because of the source it pulls from.
