How to Customize Your Galaxy S3 Statusbar Clock with Settings Mod

There’s no shortage of custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy S3 device and the number of such ROMs are increasing rapidly every passing day. While it’s possible to change the entire appearance of the device with custom ROMs, Mods allow you to change only certain parts of the user-interface, hence the possibility to replace ugly UI elements with the stylish ones cooked by the developers. On the Galaxy S3, the statusbar clock is not as beautiful as what some developers think it should be and to help users change this, a mod has just been developed.
