[Q] [HELP] Recent Apps Issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, issue with my Nexus 4,
When i click the 3rd button on my screen, my recent apps background is not see through. It is a color. How do I make it see through so i can see my desktop at the same time? (Before and After screenshot's Attached)
Thanks,
Luke

I can't see my desktop but I can see my wallpaper there maybe a tom or mod though that allows what you are looking for

Could it be the theme your using?

Well it's not really a theme, more like a bunch of widgets and a launcher. Don't really want to remove app by app as it took me a while to configure. just wondering if anyone had problems with either the launcher or the widgets.

Remove Clock From CM7 taskbar?

I have been researching this for a couple days now to no avail. Ive seen this done on sense-based roms and earlier versions of CM. Can someone give me any advice or point me in the right direction? Thanks much

Thanks for the response man. Are you using CM7 RC2? There is no status bar tweaks option under interface

Could it be because I am using Launcher Pro? Not sure what the problem is but I am not seeing it under interface. I will wipe and reflash just incase I messed something up along the way.

Make sure you aren't going to launcher pro settings. Just settings and then CM settings.

Yep. Ive been in the CM settings. I can verify 100% that status bar tweaks does not show as an option.
Edit... just noticed that I am still using CM7 RC1 rather than RC2... updating now. Fingers crossed!
Found the option in RC2! Thanks guys!
anybody noticed that the signal strenth and 3g icons in taskbar no longer take the color of the theme being used? Regardless of what I choose in theme changer the batter will change colors but the other icons are white. Ill look into this on Cyanogen's forums

Nexus S ICS stock 4.0.3 home screen orientation...

Hi i just updated my nexus s to ics by ota...my nexus s is unrooted... i wanted to know why my home screen isn't rotating... is it not possible or is it a bug on my phone... btw i already used nova launcher but i don't want it...any idea how to fix it...thanks

It's just normal with stock launcher. You would have to install any other launcher in wich you can enable homescreen rotation or a custom ROM I guess...

Try the desktop visualizer app with stock launcher. I don't know of anyway to keep the quick settings with a custom launcher

Not sure what that means, assuming we all have it with base phone, how do you access it if you change launcher?

It may be me misunderstanding. I'm thinking of using the stock launcher with a different rom,.You download the launcher just like any other app then click on ot to install it. Its on here in either the Razr M forum or the Android apps forum. I can't remember its been a while since i downloaded it.
I tried using apex and it was pretty laggy. Nova is a lot better so far but one out of maybe every 30 times I exit a app to go to the homescreen the motoblur stock launcher appears instead of nova until I go to a new screen. Kinda Annoying. Any idea how to fix?
Can I change the color of the status bar icons like the battery, signal strength and time? without root?

Well yeah nova IMO is a little smoother but apex has free gestures. And no idea about ur launcher problem never heard of that before sorry. And ugh the only way I know of to do it is metamorph which requires root. You can try super status bar. I Know it allows custom layout of items in the bar with a change of color per user preference but not sure on the icons. Try it out

[Q] Drawer transparancy

Hey there, i've recently gotten myself an I9505 and managed to install CyanogenMod 10.1 which uses the Trebuchet 1.0 launcher. As i can't post in dev forum yet i will just post it here, but i've been looking to get the drawer transparancy to around 50% for a while now. As i remember on my I9300 there was an option in the drawer options from which you could simply set the transparancy yourself, but this seem to have been removed in the version i'm currently using.. Is there anyway to make this work? All i could find so far were some random codes to make it completely transparant but i'd only want it for about 50-60ish %.
Thanks for reading.

Hmm...I tried it and ended up with the same result as CM11. I set the wallpaper and it locks my entire tablet up. Are you using a 3rd party launcher by chance? Maybe it is an issue with Nova..

Thanks...I'll give it a shot. It FCS on cm11. I'll try it on a clean install of purity.
Edit: got it to work, but figured out its the blur setting that FCs it for me. I can turn it almost all the wah down and it works, but pictures from reddit are still blurry due to the high resolution of the tablet.

I'm stock and rooted. Works fine for me on any "blur" setting.
