Hello guys. I just wanna ask. Can I somehow make my bottom button dock transparent? Without the black background. It is rooted, but I don't wanna flash custom ROM. I like the original one. It just needs few tweaks. Thanks for help.

If you're willing to use a custom launcher apex, nova, Apollo, adw, and I'm sure many other will allow you to change this.

Is there another name for this bar? Have tried several launchers, adw, nova etc and have yet to find an option to make this transparent. Be nice to reclaim that space.
Oh I was think you were referring to the dock, where the icons are. If you're talking about the three soft buttons, back, home, recent, then I'm not sure, never looked into it.
Chances are there is a way, but may need a custom rom

Do you mean the navbar? You can make it transparent in the Paranoid Android ROM, not in stock. (Maybe with metamorph...)

I'd like to know, also. Is there some patch I can flash to make this happen?

Firstly, I'd look in the manual.
However if you go to your app drawer, long press on an icon, it will take you to your homescreen, from there you can drag to your dock and drop where you want.
That's assuming you don't have a custom launcher and have changed settings to single dock.
As I am quite new maybe I do not use the right tech word. Sorry. I tried to drag and drop. From the app screen, I come ti my home screen. Ok. But when I want to put on my dock (the fix bar it just above the home button)... It becomes the litter bin and nothing. Mmhhh...

Sorry, I haven't used TouchWiz launcher since i was on eclair - however, by far the best advice I can give you, would be to install launcher pro or zeam free from the market.
There are many others, but these are probably the easiest. Zeam is very basic and light, lp has more features. Get them both, find which one suits you best. You won't be disappointed.
Tks for advice. I bought adw launcher. This does not answer my question but better now. Still have to fiddle with it... Best!

You have to press the menu button while being in app drawer. then press config just as when you deinstall apps from your drawer. Now you can drag and drop whatever you want

I wonder why not all news apps or others do not allow to access to dictionaries when u need to know meaning of one word bu long tapping on it? This would be a real plus, no?

Don't tell me to use a different launcher because I want to remain stock... But I just can't figure this out. I have looked through settings and everything but can't find any launcher settings. Thanks. I know its a stupid question but im confused!

You can not complete such a task on stock. You MUST use a different launcher like Nova or Apex just as a couple of examples. Google doesn't allow you to modify grids in the settings. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear. Sorry.

I use Nova Launcher. It is based on the stock launcher & has that same look & feel. It gives you options like changing the number of rows & columns, hide apps from the drawer, and remove the persistent search bar.
I also use Nova. It's built from the stock launcher, plus it has LOTS of extra customization features. Seriously, just get it.
Honestly the only reason I was trying to avoid it was because I didn't feel like setting it up. But its done now and works well! Thanks

Hello all,
I'm running Paranoid Android and am absolutely loving it - but I'm looking for a way to possibly make the bottom bar (back, home, multitasking, notifications, time) completely transparent.
Anybody know how?
Thanks,
Kevin
You need a launcher like Apex or Nova that supports it.

It works on stock launcher as well. Just go to the hybrid settings, go to apps, find the launcher and set the nav bar transparency.

Just go to themes and there you'll find only one theme available, that one will give you all those things you seek in transparent!

Hi folx.
I got this phone today.
So i have few questions about it. All questions consider rooting phone, but not putting custom rom
1. Is Light Manager working on this phone or we are doomed to use Light flow?
2. Can i put some shortcuts to unlocking circle?
3. How can i remove google search bar on stock launcher?
4. Can i add some more shortucts to switches menu in notification bar?
5. Can i change color on softbuttons?
If i remember something more, i will write it here
Thanks i advance

Hi,
1) Light Manager works perfectly, I use it.
2) Custom rom.
3) Not possible if I remember right, need to use an alternative launcher like Nova / Apex or a moded stock launcher.
4) Custom rom or maybe with an existing mod (I doubt)?
5) Custom rom or take a look here but here the colors are limited.
Mainly what you are asking is in almost all the custom roms...
Thanks a lot for response!
Tell me, is it possible to add wather widget on lockscreen as widget?
Thanks in advance

Check out dash clock widget. If that's not what you're looking for and want full size widgets then try a custom ROM.

Many custom ROMs have a feature that allows you to put any widget on the lockscreen.
It looks like you need to start flashing!
Ahhh.. I wanted to use stock for few weeks.. Ive heard that there is one kernel that is working best with stock rom and makes battery life much more better.
P.s. can i recieve ota if i am rooted?
P.p.s. does build number affect ota updates (like on galaxy nexus)?

I was wanting get to customize my nav bar a bit by adding a little bit of transparency and/or changing the color. However, I couldn't find a setting for that and Google didn't help either. Is there a way to do this without having to switch roms?

try any launcher, they all have the feature you want. :good:
Nope, switching launchers will not help you modify the navigation bar, as that's part of the system. This type of modification requires a different ROM if you want to be able to easily change it.
