GSII-Transparent-Status Theme (Just A Simple Transparent Status Bar)

I was searching all around the forums for a very simple transparent status bar. Decided to make one instead.
I'm new to all this hacking (just changed over from an iPhone 3GS) and right now a 2.1 mod and Metamorph are satisfying my needs.
Tested on 2.0, 2.0.1 & 2.1
Attached is my Metamorph file:
Enjoy!
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}

Man thank you for making this. I asked about this in the Q and A section if maybe someone could make or if it was possible to have a fullscreen homescreen without that actual bar. But, transparent is very nice as well. Good work!

might want to specify which version of which rom this is for.

+1 but ill try it out on cyanogen 4.2.13
EDIT: doesn't work on 1.6 framework I guess this is just for 2.0+

Sorry about that guys. Its 2 .0 +

doesnt work, just reboots after applying metamorph and nothing. same status bar.

I reupped the .zip.
I might have accidentally upped a bad one.
This one works on my phone. I literally just applied it.

wheres the new file bro?

Its on the first page
I just brought down the old file and upped the new one. Its just the .ZIP thats attached.
A link to my site which is so much easier to Navigate on your phone is this:
http://androidthemes.webnode.com/
Just click Direct download To Phone and its so easy

Well love the idea, concept, and look. Unfortunately it looks like it only works for the Droid because my 2.1 Rom OpenEclair v1.1 on the T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) isnt metamorphing it.

id like to see this ported to a 1.6 rom, looks nice.

Did you use colorchange.jar? Can you give a quicky tutorial on how you changed it? I'd like to change mine but I am on 1.6

Main question. Is it fake transparency or real, transparent statusbar.

Thanks for your shared...

Looks good on CM5.0.5. but it lacks any sort of icons that are somewhat important to me

iPhone theme.

Hi,
I'm interested in getting my HTC Hero to look like an iPhone.
If it helps, you can pretend I'm doing this out of irony.
Here's what I have so far...

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(rom is superhero 1.0.1, running aHome, custom theme and bettercut)
And here's what I need to do:
Change the order of the icons in the status bar
Fix all notification icons into the smaller 16pixel size, including clock font
Edit the dialer buttons to look more like iPhone's
Edit the Calendar and Calculator app
Calendar Widget that looks just like the calendar icon, but changes the date
Dock without using aHome
Anyone know how to change the order of the icons, or have any suggestions (other than "GIVE UP NOW" )?

Nice1 Looking Good so far

Thanks MacaronyMax! I haven't had a chance to work on it much this week because of coursework, but I'll be updating it again soon I hope.

This is looking really good, Imagine running this on an iPhone that is running android... (whoah, head f**k!)
Shame it needs aHome, but keep up the good work

Oh man, I need to get ahold of an iPhone. That must be done. XD
Speaking of which. I'll hopefully be updating this either tonight or tomorrow with a useable downloadable version of the theme which will can used for the statusbar icons and maybe something even bigger like the Dialer!
Updates are going to be kind of staggered after that, though, as I don't have an iPhone of my own and clear reference pics are hard to come by.

Answer to 2.....edit framework-res.apk be as creative as u like! Should be able to resize icons in there,as for the icons order...its probably in the same file,just as xml

Cheers Bonesy I'll look into it!

No worries I would look but I can't read xml

I have ahome but i don't know wich theme are you using, because there are a lot of iphone themes in the market.
Thanks ,
Andre

When Will you be considering releasing this because it does look gr8

[Q]Any ADW themers wanna improve a theme for me?

or for everyone.
I downloaded the paperless system ADW theme from the market and i absolutely love it.
the person who designed it only did a few Icons and no widgets.
i wish/would like for most of my icons and widgets to be in this paper theme
i don't care to have the dialer and all of that fully themed, but it'd be sweet to have my music widget and maybe even my power control widget to be themed
just asking I like it maybe other people will like it too.

anyone else ever used this theme, its hot like fiya
this is a SS straight from the DEVS page, i emailed him 2 days ago but he hasn't been back to me

i am doing requests for icons and other widget themes. 50c each icon and 2.50 per widget theme. let me know if your interested.

I saw some paper like icons there not real sure they match well, but there is a set called magic marker that might work. Either way, take a gander. As for widgets, not sure about that. Sorry.

I got the url from gomorrah's black mod thread. He used it for his icons. I must say, though, it IS pretty good. Took me awhile to figure out how to use them.
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot froyo on hero action here!

IMO, you could make new icons for it really simply. Just draw them out on paper, scan them, and then cut the icon out and edit it into an icon. If I had a scanner and some decent drawing skills, I'd definitely help you out. But alas, I have no scanner (or drawing skills!)

[Theme-Images]ElegantMatte

Hey,
im back with another theme, this time inspired by the faenza icon set, same applies as my other themes, these are a set of images that anyone can take and use in their own custom roms/skins, u can modify anything you see and use as you like. The only thing i ask is you give credit, and an optional link back.
Some of you may have seen this before, i was working on this skin a while back, but work and life got in the way. Im not sure if ill have time to finish this, so ive released it. If i do update it i will edit this thread.
Thanks
BTW, the conky widget you see isnt a real widget, its a mockup of the conky setup i have on my netbook. However if someone would like to make a similar widget, please msg me with a link, as i would really like it!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
I'm actually trying to make the matte effect myself in photoshop. is it just a gradient? Mind sharing the trick?

Sexy as usual. Your theme ideas are always righteous. I think this is my favorite of yours (though TBH I prefer vanilla over themes since Gingerbread..).

If you download the psd you can see the same styles that I use. Using layer styles means that I can also scale up/down to day 72dpi. And I can also reuse styles on other elements to maintain consistency.

Great theme however when you try to download there is no download only a bunch of numbers ect. You may want to check your download link or post a downloadable zip. Thanks!

I also see a bunch of numbers etc and cant dld the files.

your browsers are parsing out the psd file right-click save as

this is beautiful!! hope to see this worked out into a theme, wonderful work!

Hi

Right click and save as

looking great. hope u will release it

[Launcher] Sony Arc Revisited

Not taking ANY credit for this launcher and sorry for posting it up again since Sonnysekhon already discussed it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978990&highlight=sony+launcher but it didn't get much acclaim because someone pointed out it didn't fit right. I'm pretty sure it came from the guys in the Android development forum here, somehow I got my hands on it and tried it and loved it since this one is the right dimensions for the NS.
All I did was theme in some more transparency into the backgrounds and dock. Been running this on my Nexus S(gsm) for months and love it.
I've tried every launcher out there and like them but this is always my goto launcher at the end of the day. Its works great at being minimalistic and very organized at the same time.
Unfortunately its not the greatest for customizations and definitely miss notification pulldown gestures. Its also set at 5 screens only but since the dock folders can hold everything inside them and are scrollable its not a problem.
Just thought I'd share it

After I modded it, it doesn't want to install normally so I just made a flashable zip and works fine.

Thanks dl it now

Thanks! I will try it.

i might be a bit offtopic but how did you get the transparent notification bar?

This is pretty nice and very snappy. But it is not centering things for me.. everything but the main dock is scootched to the left with my lcdd at 210...

I use a variant of this sony launcher as daily driver.

Hi to every one! I've tried this launcher but the dockbar application are cut ... someone else??

Can I install this by installing the .apk that's in the system folder?
What do I do with the contents of the META-INF folder?
I can't flash this one because the Nexus S I'm trying to install it on isn't rooted.
Thanks!
