How to change the position of the clock in Android P with root

Android 9 Official Pie

Among the changes suffered by the operating system with Android P, the position of the rleoj is found in the status bar. If you don't like the location on the left, we'll show you how you can change clock position on Android P with root.

The notch takes everything ahead: the watch changes its classic position

The notches sweep wherever it goes. Since Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will start this fashion in mobile phones with the iPhone X, more and more manufacturers have chosen to include it in their devices to scratch a little more screen on the front. Whether you are for or against it, the truth is that its inclusion in a vast majority of devices has caused operating system interfaces to be redesigned with this in mind.

From there, options such as the possibility of viewing YouTube in two sizes or even hiding the notch via software were born. But Google has had to be aware of the immediate future of mobile phones and therefore has had to design Android P with this new reality in mind. Because of this, a classic Android element has moved. The clock has moved from the right to the left in order to make room for everything. With this movement, a new interface is established in the status bar, taking into account that many mobiles will not be able to show anything in the center.
