Sorry for theinconvenience, but I had no control over this. This issue is fixedin Android 4.3.If you do not re-root your device after updating to Android 4.3, itis HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you undo the clock hack before proceeding, oryou will have no way of restoring the stock digital clock widget onyour device.# Usage1) Run application2) Make selections, and press activate3) In the 'Activate device administrator' screen, choose'Activate'4) Turn off undesired features using the toggle switches.

Make sure your lockscreen is enabled to see theresults.# Hide App Icon from LauncherIf you enable this feature, you can undo this by adding a desktop'Shortcut' (identified as a 'Widget' on some Launcher) to reopenthe app to revert.#Clock Hack for Rooted devices:For users running Google firmware, you can now disable thebold-hour lockscreen clock with 'Clock Hack', accessible via theaction bar menu even with widgets disabled in the lockscreen.To undo or revert this, simply rerun 'Clock Hack'. You willadditionally have to manually remove the clock widget and readd thedesired one for changes to take effect if your lockscreen widgetsare on.

On Google builds, the default is the stock DeskClockdigital clock widget (with bold-hour style). This behavior cannotbe changed.The bold hour clock only affects official Google builds, and ispart of Google's proprietary firmware.The rooted method implements the following from XDA,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34561693&postcount=35The music controls will still appear as a new page when active,even with the lockscreen policies in place.# PrivacyI do not collect any personal information with this completely freeapplication.# Additional NotesStericson RootTools http://code.google.com/p/roottools/# TranslationsPortuguese: Thiago OliveiraPolish: Damian KrysaGerman: Philip Weber
