Hi all,
I noticed that, if I set the phone to use stock wallpaper and live wallpaper (stock launcher), the notification bar will become transparent. When I try to use different picture (e.g. HTC One Wallpaper [1080 x 1920]), the bar become black. Why is that?

I tested with Nova Launcher. No matter if I set stock or custom wallpaper, both will have the black notification bar.
Was literally just about to post to ask this as I've just spent 30 minutes trying to get the notification bar to be transparent with no success and thought it was something I was doing wrong.
wtf, how do we get other wallpapers and still have transparent. some1 must know this
what you place the walls in the same location as the other stock ones, and make sure its same resolution etc etc... still not transparent. ??

I'd like to get transparent notification bar too. I think it makes the phone look MUCH better especially on the lock screen. It seems only wallpapers from the wallpaper app turn the bar transparent.

Just thinking out aloud here, but can you add wallpapers to the app and then select them as if they were default ones?
I know you can open the .apk file with WinRar, and I believe you can drag and drop files into the app. this way.
Open: 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' from the system > app folder (I guess you'd need to be rooted) and add files in the following folder with the other wallpapers.
res > drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi
This is as far as my theory goes. I don't know if the app would recognise new .jpg files added in the sequence of others 'fhd_09.jpg' (1920 x 1920 pixels) & 'fhd_09_small.jpg' (320 x 284 pixels), or if you might need to overwrite the default ones (after backing them up first - or just back up the complete .apk before editing).
Once you've added the wallpapers, you'd need to overwrite (and set permissions?) the existing wallpaper app in the system > app folder.
...or the whole idea just might not work for some other reason I'm not aware of- anyone want to try it out? Worth a try.
I haven't got my phone yet, and I'm still not sure on rooting just yet if I had it...
Please let me know if you try this and it works or not, but just don't flame me if its a stupid idea! Oh, and if it breaks your phone then it's not my fault too!

Damn. What a coincidence, came to post a new thread regarding this and found this 1. Looking forward to the solution.

This theory makes sense:
The notification bar now blends into your wallpaper, but only if you're using one of Samsung's wallpapers or the two stock Android live wallpapers. The reason for this, I think, is because your notification bar could potentially become utterly illegible if you used a particular busy (or gray / white) background, and so when using a custom image, the notification bar becomes dark gray.

The only way to make the status bar transparent with non stock wallpaper would be if someone posts a modded Touchwiz.apk.

Awesome achievement. It is the only element I truly miss from my s3. Not sure if this could help any s4 developer to give it a try
¡¡So say we all!! from my GT-I9505
Hi. Very interested in a solution for this :good:
Decompile SystemUI.apk,Go to values/drawable.xml and change "status_bar_background" value to #00e1e1e1 like in the attachment.Then recompile,sign it and push it.Hopefully should work.
Sorry but there is no file named values/drawable.xml in systemui.apk
Does the phone be rooted to do this?

You have to first deodex SystemUI.apk,decompile it with apktool,Go to res/values and there will be the file I meant .Do the changes,recompile it and push it back.Delete the odex from your phone if you have it.
OFC you need root to do the above
Im coming from the HTC Evo4G LTE that I rooted and put many ROMs/Mods on. I am NOT knowledgable but just followed all the DEVs instructions. The custom ROM I used did not have a transparent notification bar either, so I just took one of the custom ROMs bar mods (zip flashable file), opened it to the systemui.apk file, changed some files in it, and flashed it.
There were about 6 PNG files in the systemui/res/drawable.xhdpi folder that said "status_bar_background.png" (and other similar names). I made new ones in a photo editing program that were transparent and the same size. I renamed them the same names and overwrote them in the systemui apk file. It seemed like a hard thing at first, but it really isnt. I talked to my ROMs DEV and he said that there was only like 2 files I really needed to change, instead of the 6, but I just left it alone as it worked. Im not saying it was the right way though.
I would love it if all you had to do was change a few numbers or letters in an xml file.
I get my S4 today, and definately want a transparent top bar. I think most custom ROMs will implement it, but if not, they usually make top bar modification flash files to change things likes clocks, icons, etc. It should be easy to do when they start coming out.
Also, can someone clear up. Is the top bar where the clock,time,etc is called the navigation bar or status bar ? Ive seen and heard it used both ways. Thanks
Just my .02 worth. Hope it helps.
You'll need to be rooted to try this, and I'm sure you will need to be running a deodexed ROM based around original ROM.
I have edited the SecWallpaperChooser.apk three ways to try to get the Wallpapers working the way I tried to explain in my theory a few posts back. Here is what I've done;
I've created a new Wallpaper and added it to the SecWallpaperChooser.apk, I want all of the attached .apks to work, but if not, I'm hoping that at least one will!
The original .apk file contains 7 different wallpapers, labelled 'fhd_01.jpg' (main WP) and 'fhd_01_small.jpg' (I guess this is a thumb), and the are numerically ordered up to '08. there is no '07' in the .apk I'm using (from the original deodexed I9500 system dump - should be the same for I9505, right?), so the file names go up to '08'.
Please extract the .zip file at the following link, it will contain three folders, each folder is labelled as follows:
7Included - I've added my new WP to the file and added it as filename '07', all original WPs are included too.
8Overwrite - I've added my new WP by overwriting the original file number '08' (nobody used the photo of twigs, do they? ), all other original WPs still included.
9Added - I've added my new WP as filename '09', all original WPs are still included.
What I think you'd need to do with these files is:
Navigate to the root of your device: system > app - and look for the file called 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' - back this up somewhere.
With root access active on your favourite file explorer app, copy the first file you want to try out from one of my folders, don't rename it though, and paste it over the original 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' in the system > app folder. Set the permissions to 'rw-r--r--'.
Exit your explorer app, then reboot your device.
It would be good to wipe cache/dalvik if you can, but I don't know if we have custom recovery yet to be able to do this - is there another way to do this - does it need to be done...? I'm not sure. If you're not sure too, then please don't try this.
Hopefully, the next time you try to set a wallpaper, you will see my new wallpaper as an option too.
This is the test WP I made:
If it works, all you need to do then is make your own WP and add it to the app. A bit long winded, but if you don't change your wallpapers very often then it doesn't matter. Depending on which of my .apks work, you might be able to add a few new wallpapers to the .apk. I'd keep to the original WP dimensions too, as per original image files.
Here's the link to my modified .apks - fingers crossed... http://db.tt/bsbEFMJz
If none of these work, then just reinstall your original backed up .apk.
I haven't tried this so please test it at your own risk, I won't be able to help you if you get into issues, and if you do, please don't blame me - I'm only trying to help. Maybe you shouldn't try this if you don't know what you are doing.
If you do try this, then please let us know how you got on. Thank you.
**********************************
EDIT: None of the above worked, but I decompiled the wallpaper app and swapped out some of the stock wallpapers with my own (and renamed them correctly), then recompiled it again, and now I have my own wallpapers with transparent status bar and no modified System UI, and I don't have transparent top bar in apps (which can look a bit odd sometimes) like you can get in the popular transparency mod to the System UI.
live wallpaper
So no way how to set live full screen wallpaper without root?
I have a strangev similar situation. I can get my lock screen wallpaper to be transparent only if I change it back and forth Bl between a stock one like 15 times......WTF
thought it was something I was doing wrong.

[THE] [Updated 22-01-2010] ₪₪₪ HDWall Wallpaper CAB collection ₪₪₪ [RTFP!!]
NB: [22-Jan-2010] If you would like to request a cab file for your chosen wallpaper, you will find most will be happy to have a go for you. However, when doing so, can you please give specifics of the ROM you are using, i.e WM6.1/6.5/6.5.3, Sense/Manila/TF3D 2/2.1/2.5 and whether of not your version of Sense/Manila/TF3D is CFC compressed (if using a Custom ROM, the Rom Cooker's thread should tell you all of this information). This will greatly help the person who decides to do it for you, otherwise it's a complete shot in the dark, and if you are using anything other than the stock rom, it will most probably not work as they will normally use the default profile (TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - All Tabs). Actually, if you know all this info, there's no reason why you can't successfully have a go yourself, as I would always urge you to do. There's nothing like being able to do it yourself!
Here's an idea...changing the wallpaper on our TP2s seems a bit more difficult than in the past. The usual "background 4 all pages" methods that are about seem to cause problems for some (actually most, I think). I personally get a massive lag in screen rotation and other graphical gitches that I can't live with.
The answer is HDWall (massive thanks to maranell0 for this great piece of software)
OK, so it's time consuming and it involves a CAB installation and soft reset (actually, if you skip the restart after CAB installation, just restarting TF3D from Settings>>Personal>>Today>>Items does the trick), but what you end up with is a flawless wallpaper, higher in resolution than the standard methods, same background on all tabs, and absolutely no glitches or lags in rotation that I have noticed.
So the idea is, post your CABs and screenshots and share with the community your creations, save people the time and effort and make changing your wallpaper to suit your mood easy again!
Here's a start.... (also included MobileMatt's Crystal clock...credit to him for that)

***A quick tip for new users of HDWall...Before you start creating your wallpaper, from the config menu select the profile that matches you ROM's WM6.x / WM6.5.x... and Manila/Sense version, otherwise it will not work. Read the instructions on maranell0's post for full details of how it's done! If at first you don't succeed, keep trying and eventually it will seem easy!***
One more thing. I don't personally get this problem, but if the picture doesn't load on the home tab, but all the other tabs are ok, you will need to clear the following 3 values in the registry (after the first install):
In HKCU/Software/HTC/manilla/
clear the value of
1: Cachedbackgroundpath
2: DefaultHomeBackgroundPath
3: HomeBackgroundPath <<<thanks to real187 for this info

Try turning on/off (or reset) your device.
I think the stock rom is still having bugs since I also have this issue from time to time.
Also you could try disabling touchflo in the homescreen and then enabling it again
Just a suggestion guys and gals. All these walls are great. Theres an option to add a layer of color over the image and with that theres opacity options. I find that adding a black layer with some transparency enables much better previews of sms messages, as lighter colors can be confusing.

No, as the target resolution for the program to achieve from your pictures is WVGA. You need to use a standard BG 4 all tabs/pages app on your device with VGA images.

Rambo87: Will upload bottom bar zip in a while. BTW, it won't work on ROMs based on the leaked HK CSL ROMs (Official FroYo HTC Sense by AdamG being one of them).

I get that. I just tried to keep this port as close as possible to the one from the Evo. My notification bar is different from yours, too. If people want to mix and match elements from your themes and mine, I don't have a problem with that. I'm not trying to compete with you or anything. I just decided to port this theme for myself. Then I decided to post it 'cause I thought other people might like it. My theme might also be a more viable option for those using 2.09 Sense-based ROMs, because a lot of people have updated from AdamG's Official FroYo HTC Sense ROM (myself included). Just saying.

Great looking theme but how do you change the shortcut icons? the icon apk just installs an app showing all the icons? How do you actually use the icons using folderorganiser? and is it possible to change the mail icon but still have the unread count bubble?
Sorry for all the questions
EDIT: I flashed the theme file, not just the bottom bar or icons.
Install the Simplism Icons app. Yes, it only shows a bunch of icons.
You go to FolderOrganizer, click on the apps tab, select an app, press the arrow down and click icon. Pick Icon Packs and the icons should appear. Select one.
On your home screen, long press anywhere, add a shortcut to a FolderOrganizer item. Pick the app with the modified icon.
FolderOrganizer and BetterCut don't support the unread count bubble. I might look into integrating the icon with the app itself in res/drawable, and I'll upload a zip here for the relevant apps like Mail, GMail and Messages.

Gingerbread for Defrost 6.1a, CM 6.1.1 and Oxygen 1.0.4 AOSP
For those still running Froyo I’ve created a theme that replicates the stock gingerbread look.
This has taken me a long time to compile and maintain. It was not as simple as copying files from one APK to the other; it required xml editing, icon design and much probing into the gingerbread SDK to find all these files to bring you the most accurate Gingerbread look.
If you use this and like this please donate.

Instructions – not for Metamorphs
You have to be rooted to install these custom roms – if you are not rooted head to XDA and they should be able to help.
I can only support ROMs for the HTC Desire, however the Cyanogen(MOD) framework is very similar across the board. I believe porting to other HDPI devices is not hard and you are free to attempt this with these files.
Download the desired files to your SD Card, if you are on Cyanogen(MOD) or DeFrost you will also need to place the Colour config file “Gingerbread.xml” in /sdcard/CMTheme/
As with all flashable zips a NANDROID backup is recommended.
Flash the *.zip file either with ROM Manager or through recover as you would a ROM. You do not need to unzip these files.
Reboot the phone
If using Cyanogen(MOD) or DeFrost you will need to apply the colour theme (Settings > CyanogenMod settings > User interface > Tweaks extras > “Select Theme” > “Gingerbread”)
Enjoy your Gingerthemed Froyo
Instructions – for Metamorphs
To use the Metamorphs you need to have you desire S-Off’d and you must download Metamorph from the Market. Once you have this it’s pretty straight forward.
If you don’t have S’Off or can’t get Metamorph to work you can merge the files from a Metamorph into a theme (framework-res.apk) and then flash the theme through recovery.
I hope to write a tutorial on how to do this some time in the future.

Use the xml colour file from the blog (you need to right click and download)
You should be able to rip all the "drawable-hdpi" files with no probs.

For CM
Try these 2 files - You need this colour file too (Copy to /sdcard/CMTheme) then sellect in CMSettings. (Right click and save-as)
For CM6.1 - Desire - Flash in recovery then apply colour file.
Grey CM6.1
Green CM 6.1
If they work, please let me know!

That works for most of the UI, but the CMtheme stuff doesn't affect menus;
Is there a workaround?

I can't find the fix for this. I think it's in styles.xml search "panel" and remove the "inverse part", but this didn't recompile properly. I'm just using the old white menu pop-ups.

This is a more thoroughly themed file. Unfortunately I can't post screenshots as I'm not at my computer. To get the keyboard to work you might need to clear the cache of the keyboard app.
Let me know what you think.

Hello There!
I really like this new look, however I think there are a few things wrong.
First, the notifications bar is a really dark black in 2.3 (I have looked at the pictures and tried the GingerNinja ROM) while this is more grey.
Second, the headset icon (I know that you cannot do anything about it since you only have the SDK and not the source code)
I think that's about it..
As I said, I really love this, and I greatly appreciate the effort you have made to port this! I'd love to see some more of it.
Have a nice day/night Gas!

I've taken the notification bar from the SDK and various screenshots (see arstechnica for example). I can resize and grey out the headset icon which I will look at doing tomorrow.
Re: incorporating this with other lockscreens, I will try and add them all to this through morphs, but it might take a while.

As I said in an earlier post i LOVE this theme =) But i got a queston. Mine doesn't looke exactly like the screenshot I'm posting n image to show what i mean, on the right side is the screen shot and on the left is what mine look like, dunno if its maybe because I'm using CM power widget in notif... bar?
Also it looks like the alarm icon got and extra pixel on the top right side or something
//_b
Looking great. For some reason the keyboard keeps force closing but it's not a problem as I was going to switch to the HTC one anyway but might be something you want to look into. On a HTC Desire with DeFrost 6.1 if it helps. Anyway, keep up with the good work, can't wait to see what it looks like once it matures (or until CM and Defrost release a 2.3 ROM )
EDIT: It appears a second Android Keyboard has been installed as 2 of them appear on my apps list, one is 168KB and the other is 304KB, the 304KB one has a version number of 2.3 so I assume that it's yours. Might see if I can find a way to uninstall the stock one.
Hi
After i see this kind of theme on other phone, i decide to do it for the milestone.

Does this work only in HO!NO! mod or with the regular CM it should work too? I'm asking because the wallpaper don't fit in the screen exactly. The left side menu text in the background are off the screen (in screen 1) and the lower icons that should became visible through the transparent circle of the dock icon are off too and I can only see half of them.
Besides, when I go long press home->LauncherPro Shortcut I see an empty list, theres no Screen 6 to select (step 4).
I'm using LauncherPro 0.8.2.
Hi Ho!No!
I didn't get it. First of all, where to put the files that is in the zip file? Unziping it, I got a directory named "Ho!No! scrolling theme for milestone" and three directories inside it and some lps files. Where to put this files?
It was a little confuse.

When you select your wallpaper you need to stretch it by pressing on a corner

Unzip everything in the HO!NO! scrolling theme for millestone folder (except the psd file) on the root of your sdcard
Took me a while to figure out...
LPS files need to be stored in your SD card, either in the root of the card, or inside the folders “download”, “downloads” or “lpshortcuts”. To add an LP Shortcut to a homescreen, long-press on a blank spot, choose “Shortcuts” and then “LauncherPro Shortcuts”. If you have any LPS files in the previously mentioned folders in your SD card, they should show up on the list. You can click on “Create New” to go to the web-based LauncherPro Shortcut Creator tool. You can also access the LauncherPro Shortcut Creator tool from your computer, and then put the generated LPS file in your SD card.
Once you do that, continue on with step 4.
Awesome job HO!NO!
Just one question tho, the lock screen shows the very first screen with all the icons of the background (settings, news, etc), I noticed in your video that you just have a plain background, how did you change the lock screen background? with lockbot?
Thanks

First thank you
For lock screen i use WidgetLocker, very nice app.
I made a launcherpro-backup of the settings described by ho!no! and uploaded it together with his files. i think this way its much easier now
1) unpack Zip to the root-directory of your microsd.
2) click menu > preferences > "restore backup"
3) set wallpaper*
4) done!
* i didnt use "Wallpaper Set and Save"-App for that. i made it this way:
- go to gallery > search for folder "Wallpaper" (8 files)
- mark one of the files you wish to set as wallpaper click menu/more > set as > wallpaper
- mark the hole left area of the picture, so that the font on the left is marked and click ok.
looks great.
Confusing at first but epic once finished. One more question, what are the Widgets usedfor the clock and weather for the first screenshot? Also what is the first widget for the second screenshot? The one with all the apps? Please reply soon, and thisbis a great theme. Thanks

OK. I finally managed to configure the whole thing and put the whole wallpaper in the background (thanks for that HO!NO!) but when I try to change the LauncherPro Shortcut to blank.png and it gives me an error saying: "an error was encountered while trying to open the selected image". What could it be now?? I'm able to add the shortcut with the default icon and it does work when I click on it, but I need it to be blank of course.

I had this error too, but I figured out that in my MAC it was saying that it has 4 kb, but in my milestone it was 33 kb.
I have just copy it over and it worked again.

Although it had the same size in my pc and in the sdcard, I copied the file over again and it worked! Thanks for all the help guys!
Just a thought, wouldn't it be better if instead of having the left menu in the background and adding blank icons to the lpshortcuts to have icons as the names so you can choose whatever names you want for the sessions and also freely select the background?
I would do it myself but I'm completely clueless when it comes to image handling... what do you guys think?

@afadel;
I have made some changes on the psd file such as put the names in Portuguese and other changes to play nice on my Milestone.
If you don't have the Photoshop, you can use The Gimp (www.gimp.org) to work with the psd file and you can change anything that you need.
As Ho!No! said, show us your creativity.

Community Project
Animated Status Bar Icons
What is the goal?
Getting custom Animated Icons in our Status Bars!
Anyone can join this Communtiy Project!
provided you want to help get this
Animated Status Bar going!
If interested: drop me a PM OR post in
the thread here, and say you'd like to help!
This 'project' is a work in progress, and will undergo a lot of changes
over the next few weeks, lots of things on the go, and quite a few
amazing people lending their spare time, to see this project through.
That being said: below is the source code, and @brandall's message,
He was extremely generous and created the alpha version of this apk.
Please consider thanking him at his Utter! thread.
brandall said:
Hey @Adizzzle
Attached is an apk that uses the inbuilt Android uploading icon.
The source code is available here. I'll stick the open source licence in it when I get a moment - of which I have very few lately.... But anyone is free to update it, use it, sell it, whatever.....
It's pretty simple code that's clearly labelled so beginner developers should be able to follow it.
I don't know how to create animated icons using XML or if there are any system restrictions to their use, so it might be a root only project for you.
Hope this base code can get others interested and up and running.
Wishing you good luck with your project.

That is an xml file that sets up the email notification icon to be animated cause it to change every 80 ms all the icons are located in the drawable folders inside the decompiled apk (download from attachments and view using notepadd++ as it will not paste correctly also need to change extension back to xml as I renamed it .txt because of attachment rules

So, from what I see, it used the parent code <animation-list> and used androidneshot="false" to basically stop the series of images setting on one image... Interesting...
Can you upload that app that uses those animated email notifications?
I wonder if that's from systemui,
framework-res, or the actual gmail app..

You may add me too the team, that was taken from a theme for cm10.1 but the actual xml file would go in apkname/res/drawables of the systemUI.apk
Theme is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008993
Will decompile a systemUI.apk soon and place the animated icon and see what happens

i think you should make the xml to repeatedly run through a set of pictures, that way is easy for themers to theme?
also make the icon appear when the refresh interval starts to check for mail?
Also i am developing "Universal Safety Flasher" whitch will go great for theming such as this!
And one more thing, the status bar icon are in /system/framework/framework-res.apk or /system/app/SystemUI.apk
i dont remember

I was hoping to have the animated icon always in the status bar, of course that being the case there will certainly have to be a way of turning it off as well.

SO here it goes,
so far I have pulled the .xml and images for a breathing Gmail Notification,
Thanks to @Neurom707 for the idea, and the theme.
They are all located in my public Dropbox folder:
http://db.tt/klg2Y2Qg
The .xml tells the notification, to scroll through 0 - 20 images,
and that causes the notification to have a "breathing effect".
Now to get this working in a ROM!
Would anyone know how to activate this .xml and these images, rather
then the default un-animated notification? Would this be located in the gmail app?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The images were located in res>drawable-xhdpi
The .xml was located in res>drawable
