Removing Date/Time/Clocks (all reference to time/date!)
SlugMan:
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if it's possible to hide/remove/disable all the references to time in Rockbox (specifically a Sansa Clip+). I'm about to partake in a sleep study and for 7 days I need to live in a time free environment. That means I can't bring my beloved mp3 player which has date/time. Is this at all (easily) possible to remove in some way that I won't be tempted to access it?
(also, i'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in... sorry if it isn't?)

Switch to a theme that doesn't show the clock.
torne:
To actually remove it so that it's not trivial to see the time, you'll need to do a custom build of Rockbox. Remove the lines that start with #define CONFIG_RTC and #define HAVE_RTC_ALARM from firmware/config/sansaclipplus.h and it will build a build that doesn't know how to access the realtime clock. :)

Do you have a recommendation of a theme? Would this eliminate access to a clock? or do i have to follow torne's idea?

unfortunately this is beyond my realm of hacking together basic html/css websites... If this is what I have to do, would it be too much trouble ask someone to compile a version for me?
tpijag:
You only see a clock if someone has purposefully has placed a clock in the theme. Choice of a theme is up to you and it is trivial to try out as many themes as you want.

Changing to a theme with no visible clock will not stop you from manually working through the menu structure to find the time/date under settings if your goal is to circumvent the studies parameters.
