Removing Date/Time/Clocks (all reference to time/date!)

<< < (2/2)

SlugMan:
right, i currently am using themes that don't display time/date.  I was secretly hoping that somehow a theme could hide certain menu items.

I am not looking to circumvent the studies guidlines.  I've already bought a plane ticket with the money they haven't given me yet :o

So my only real option would be remove the lines from the source, like torne says, and compile it?

is there a 'compiling guide for dummies' out there?

tpijag:
Easy solution is to not use the menu item.
Harder solution is to hope someone has time for a one off compile.
Hardest solution is for you to try to do this yourself.

By the way, I do not know any of this stuff / links off the top of my head. I have been doing what I am confident you can do also: use search and poke about the wiki.  :)

torne:
Since it's for the sake of science I've built this for you. :)

I don't have a clip+ so this is completely untested, but it did compile. It's based on the latest development build as of now, git hash e92fbb4.

Compiling rockbox yourself is not that difficult, but there is some setup you have to do that takes some time. The previous post's links are what you want to read if you want to know about it :)

SlugMan:
Thanks Torne!  It seems to be working as advertised!  I'll use it today to see if anything crops up, but so far so good!
You've just saved me from insanity.  If it pleases your curiosity, i'm being used as a monkey to research the effects of melatonin and sleep.  It's currently available over the counter as considered to be in the same vein as dietary pills, so no need for the FDA to regulate/approve it.  But now they're wondering otherwise (or if there really is a connection between melatonin and sleep at all).  All i have to do?  sleep and stay awake for 24hrs at one point.  Also wear this stupid 'activity-watch' and not drink alcohol/caffeine/chocolate for 3 weeks prior.  That's the worst part.
Science is proud to have your support.

@tpijang
thanks!  I should have looked a little harder.  I quickly looked through it and it's probably something I could manage.  Not every opensource project has a guide like this, and I didn't immediately expect rockbox to!
