You can goto settings and change the background on the messaging open ur messaging and hit menu key and go from there to make it look like you want and you could goto the theming section and flash a theme but its a guess if they have themed the stock email app or not

[APPMOD REQ] Twitter Client fully transparent back

hi..
does anybody have the twitter client with full transparent backgrund, not the one with transparent black?
thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!
Iam search too, facebook and twiter widget with trasparent...
You guys ought to check this out.
Hope it helps
If flashing the .zip doesn't work for you, I recommend reading up a little bit on ADB.
That way you can pull the desired applications from the phone and push the new ones.
If you have got launcher pro plus, there is an complete mod of lpp where you can install a modded version which has all widgets transparent with white or black text.
I will grab the link when i am home.
Otherwise search the htc hero section in themes and apps....

I haven't found any official Twitter app/widget that's transparent.
If signals23 mod doesn't do it for you, you'll have to make it yourself.
i mean this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 without the black in back.
simply transparent.
if i could do it myself, i 've did that already...believe me.

ahhh go home, u don't understand me....thread can be closed in my opinion.
i understand you
you want an complete transparent twitter widget
there is no such right now
why dont use try the moddet launcher pro?
every lpp widget is transparent
bookmarks,people, twitter, facebook etc.
just have a look
You CAN do it yourself
All it takes is a little push.
The only thing stopping you is your own lazyness. I've made a transparent Facebook widget,
Twitter can't be much harder.
[ USE ADB ]
- Pull the Twitter application from your phone
- Copy the .apk to a new folder and rename it to .zip
- Open the .zip and drag the folder named RES to your new folder
Now you can see all the images that make up the widget
- Edit the images you want to edit
- Save the res folder, overwrite the old one.
- Rename the .zip to .apk
- Push back to your phone
TIP: When editing images, create a new folder and name it whatever.
Save all your images there with the names you want to replace.
Voila, there you've done it.
That wasn't to hard!
If you need help concerning ADB you should check out the ADB guides.
Best of luck and remember, people won't always create what you want.
So it's better to just do it yourself!

I edit with Photoshop.
I'm sure you can use Paint or whatever, but Photoshop is a great tool.
It doesn't have to be as complicated as you'd think.
Lets say I want to edit the black-apps transparent:
- Check the size of the black background, EXAMPLE: 480x50
- Create a new document in Photoshop with TRANSPARENT LAYER
And since I want it transparent, the work is already done! So all I need to do
is save the file. I failed about 30 times when creating my first widget -
but it gets really fun to edit them, then seeing what they look like on the phone.
i tried it myself

Part of the ROM, the theme, or the app???

Hey guys,
Im new to the forums but i've been trying out roms for a little while. First stock -> zapX -> rubiX blurry -> apex -> rubiX focused -> and now fission 2.5.7 (blacked out)
I liked apex the best but recently I was getting reboots. W/o changing the clocking or voltage or anything..
Any way, fission and rubix seem a little faster and I really like the fission download manager thing. Real simple.
I also like their version of the email app. Very nice.
To the point now,
The dialer is awesome (black theme with green highlights)
The rotary unlock is off the chain
The contact listing - im not a fan of the way the image thumbs are displayed ( looks choppy and the 3 side border looks weird to me)
During a phone call the facebook image shown looks to be a blowup of the tiny contact thumb. Apex used another sized thumb I believe. Way more aesthetically pleasing
The txt messaging in both fission and rubiX is not customizable at all! Not anything like the dialer or contact listing. I don't like how it looks as if im in MSN or IRC
I don't mean to offend any devs, I love you guys. And im not asking for features.
How would I combine the parts that I liked from each rom? I mean, is the dial pad in fission and rubix part of the theme or the phone app? Or is it part of the rom somehow? The contact listing is in the same window as the dialer but could I change the way it looks with a theme or ninjamorph or something?
Also the txt messaging.. I liked the one in apex WAY better. But I don't know if I could just grab the apk and put it in fission.. is it just an apk id replace or is it tied to other things?
Sorry for the massive post and obvious ambiguity. Thanks for any help.

Try searching the market for the alternate apps that you want. For messaging I would suggest that you look up handcent because it is highly customizable and you should be able to make it look how you want
As for the others, I haven't really looked for those yet, but if I find anything that might help you I'll post it
Can't stand handcent or gosms.. I just loaded liberty today tho and the messaging is at least black now. I can live w. that. I just hope that someone fixes the in-call pictures because they are all blown up and NASTY!

A far easier method is to download LauncherPro from the market. Then just Google for some free icons or TouchWiz Icons. Launcher Pro will let you set whatever icons you want for apps. Way easier and way less chance of screwing something up. I wasn't a big fan of the green icons either, so I went this route and made it look just the way I wanted.
You can unzip the old apks and find the appropriate .png file, then copy it into the Bionix-v apks and adb push them to /system/app
That's what I did when I ran Nero, getting back the original (FAR LESS UGLY AND GREEN) AOSP icons (though, the AOSP mms app already has an ugly icon, but I hate it anyway and use TouchWiz mms).

Delete the icon from the home page. Then long press to add a shortcut. When you do, Launcher Pro will pop open a window and give you the option to change the name under the icon. While it's in that mode, look under the icon in the pop up window and it will say "touch the icon to change it". It will then take you to your gallery where you can select a new icon.

Just a thought here....I've spent a bunch of time on this theme, between searching the vast interwebs for applications that work, to editing files, to theming apps and testing them, at least 60 hours of my life have been put into this project. I don't take donations or anything, so could you guys help spread the word to all of your friends so i don't feel like I did all of this for just a few people? Or at least hit the thank you button every now and then. I would appreciate that.
Alrighty fellas, I've compiled a theme together for pretty much any android device capable of running CM7, but since I created it on my Optimus V, I'll post it here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES USED IN THIS THEME, I SIMPLY COMBINED WHAT WAS AVAILABLE TO ME. Furthermore, a few of these apps are paid apps, and I cannot suppply those to you.
I'd like to give a big ol' thank you to AOSP for creating such a great base ROM to work with, nhnt11 for creating the themed menus and status bar, and the devs of all of the apps used in this project.
What is themed:
-Status Bar
-Notification Drawer
-The entire Launcher
-App Drawer
-Menus (including highlighted text)
-Widgets (Only "LP Sense UI widgets" "Toggles" and "Search" are themed)
-Keyboard
-Lockscreen
-Clock
-In-App Titles
-Boot Animation
-HTC app: Claculator
-HTC app: Music
-HTC app: Teeter
-Wallpapers / backgrounds
-Alarms
-Ringtones
-Icons
-Fonts
HOW TO FIX "ERROR INVALID_KEY" WITH FACEBOOK WIDGET
In order to get functionality from the Facebook widget back, as per THIS, you will need to uninstall the facebook app from your phone, then uninstall and reinstall LP sense ui app. From there, when you enter your credentials in the widget settings, it should work. After it is done synching and whatnot, you may reinstall Facebook app. It *should* work.
Step One
You are going to need to install a CM7 ROM with the Theme Chooser application if you want the status bar / menu themes to work. At this point, I'd like to give you this warning:
IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOU EFF UP YOUR PHONE, YOU ARE DOING THIS OF YOUR OWN ACCORD
#Step 1a (Skip if not rooted)
In order to install the fonts that I've included, you will need root access. There are two ways to install them: one through ADB, the other through a
market app, Type Fresh (included in the "app" folder) I feel it necessary to link to the original page for instructions. Here is the URL:
http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2009/04/25/how-to-change-fonts-in-android/
Step Two
After installing the ROM, you will need to download NTSense, provided by nhnt11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459
Just follow the instructions on the link provided.
Step Three
Now you will need to install LP Sense UI, provided at the bottom of this thread. THIS IS NOT THE PAID VERSION, IT IS THE REGULAR FREE VERSION, HOWEVER WIDGETS DO WORK.
You will need to set it up properly for it to work. Do the following:
From Homescreen:
Menu>Preferences>Sense Mod Configuration
Set Number of docks to "1"
Dock Background>Standard (be sure to press it, even though it is selected, or else it wont work properly)
Home button on app drawer "on"
Enable auto Rotation "off"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should be it for the launcher. You can set other things how you like, I usually use "Rotate 2" as my transition, it looks great with the theme
Menu>Preferences>Homescreen Settings>Transition Effect> "Rotate 2"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Four
You will need to purchase "WidgetLocker" from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
It is $1.99 USD, but it is worth it, it is helpful for many other themes and is great as a lockscreen in general.
be sure to open WidgetLocker from the app drawer to open it in edit or "Tool" mode.
FROM "TOOL MODE:"
Menu>Settings>Enable WidgetLocker
(Skip this if you don't have root) Menu>Settings>Advanced>Root Helper>Check All Boxes, set Autoswipe Pin/Password to "Auto"
Menu>Settings>Advanced>Check "Hide Notification Icon" and "Hide Interaction Warning"
Configure the rest how you prefer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While you are in tool mode, long press every app, slider and widget and drag it to the trash bin at the bottom of the screen. Then do this:
Menu>Add>Custom Slider
Select "Sense" from the box directly underneath the picture of the slider.
Save.
You will need to long press the slider and drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen, being careful not to put it in the trash bin (or else you'd have to make a new slider )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Five
Install any of the clocks in from the included "clocks" folder found under "apps"
Should you install the flipclock app, be warned:
NOTE: THIS CLOCK HAS NO FLIPPING ANIMATION. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE THAT DOES FLIP IN THE FUTURE, BUT NO GUARANTEES. I WOULD NEED A LOT OF HELP.
Step Six
In order to get the toggle widgets, such as wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, silence, etc. you need to Purchase Beautiful Widgets from the Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result
I have included a brightness control and battery indicator themed to look Sense-esque. They are at the bottom of the Post.
FOR THE BATTERY INDICATOR:
1. Apply Widget to Homescreen
2. Tap on it
3. Select the "Preferences" tab in the top right corner.
4. Check every single box, especially Swap Low/High res. You can select the temperature unit of your choice.

Click to collapse

Yeah, not a D1CK at all... just cause you think you're perfect, you don't have to go around and call someone else's work a complete price of crap. There's no point. And this theme is visually appealing, which is the major role of a theme. It just has some bugs that need worked out.
Oh, and if you're so great, why don't you make a cm7 sense theme that looks an acts identical to the real thing, including all the icons, app drawer, and Widgets. You should be able to get that done in a couple hours right?

Black messaging?

A while back while using void, there was a module that you could activate with a folder/config file edit to make the messaging and email apps backgrounds black. Is there any way to do this on Mik's CM7? I really miss that feature.
