Hi folks,
Got sick and tired of trying -and failing- to install a transparent GenieWidget, so i decided to mod it myself to have a transparant background.
I thought a lot of people are on a quest (like i was) to find the right one, that works on CM.
Im running the latest floyo on Hero.
Both HD & MD are modded.
Anyways, here it is
p.s. i used someone else's screenshot as i don't have time to do so...
This is excellent! I have been looking for an MDPI white trans genie widget forever. Well, almost forever . Thanks much for sharing.

I'll be uploading a modded version also very soon (other icons)
I am trying to install this on Nonsensikal 13.2...it already has GenieWidget installed....when I go to overwrite it, it doesn't install. Any ideas on what to do?

When trying to replace a system app you must uninstall the old one first, reboot, then install.
That's the problem ...I can't uninstall the original geniewidget. I tried under applications but the uninstall is greyed out.

Try removing it with root explorer or titanium backup.
That's how i did it.

Hello, would somebody be willing to make a theme with just the notification bar in black (date, clock etc in white) for the CM 4.04 ? Nothing else needed in the theme.
thanks.

i am just that good. i saw this thread a minute ago and already have the file for you uploaded and everything.
http://www.4shared.com/file/132234151/543640f1/blackbar_signed.html
its a small file because all it is framework-res.apk (that has the black statusbar_background.png and the statusbar.xml with white notification text) and services.jar which has the classes.dex file that has be changed so that the clock and date will be white.

Will this work on 4.1.11.1?

it was based off of the 4.0.4 template and has a services.jar not compatible with the one for stericsons lockscreen, so no it won't. sorry when cyanogen releases a stable version if you would like this i will do one for you then, just pm me when the time comes around and i will make you one
i need to test out the new colorChanger.jar anyways so i can go ahead and make one real quick for 4.1.11.1 give me about 10 minutes or so and i will have a link
and here is one for 4.1.11.1 with the status bar inverted so it should retain the curved look from the donut one.
http://www.4shared.com/file/134673715/a3acd40b/blackbar41111-new.html
i know there are people using this (its kind of obvious with my 4shared account showing how many times it gets downloaded), so my question is should i start a thread like this that has black status bars for people that want them? that way those that do want a black status bar know where to look to find it? if so, let me know and i will, its not like it takes any sort of time to make one. like 10 minutes at the most.
i can make them for well any rom (i think, not tested on rogers but i could try) just give me your rom (with a link to it would be nice) and i will see what i can make happen
Thanks a lot for this. I have been wanting this for quite some time, but kept telling myself I should just learn how to sign the zip on Linux and do it myself.
I was excited for this, but had some real issues. Number one, it will overwrite Stericsson's lock screen (makes sense since we replace the framework-res.apk and services.jar). Secondly, each time I use this, even after a fresh wipe and install, gmail force closes (and yes, I have tried fix_permissions).

I'll look into stericson's lockscreen when i get home from work tonight ,and i don't know why it would mess up gmail since it doesn't touch the .apk. i will look into this and see if i can get gmail to force close.

Thank you very much. I was very confused why Gmail would close myself. I tried many combinations of wiping and flashing, but each time my gmail would force close.
I tried this on 4.2.11.1 and I ended up doing a backup recovery. I would really like to have a black notification bar. Please help me in achieving this goal...
update, ya i figured it out with metamorph...

Ok so here is my first shot at a theme.
I've done some image editing on this, but mainly its a compilation of stuff from other themes on this site.
Flash at your own risk/do a nandroid backup!
How-to Theme Development
And NpRussell for making this rom
And Oshaka for making .jar's easy to edit
And the themes I borrowed from:
Luminescence by Amoredraven
Blue_Haze by Cloverdale
And Enoch's theme, which I can't find atm.
So go send those people some love
And of course

I think the .jar edits would cause it to bootloop, but I'll have a look and see.
But only for vanilla roms, nothing with sense
This theme work with CyanogenMod v1.0 ROM?
Is the file corrupt?
Ive downloaded it and attempted to extract the files to view exactly whats been changed but it wont extract correctly?
are this really for htc hero? after i install & reboot but the btm scrolling icon was not there.
It may well be solely for the VanillainROM, which is in my sig.
It depends exactly what's been changed and where.
Good to see someone theming my roms anyway

I tried to use Sideload Wonder Machine. The file sucessfully transferred to my phone but the widget didn't show up.
I've recently moved over from Acer's Liquid E phone to the Samsung Captivate. Nice upgrade, however; the stock app News and Weather is not available on the stock Rogers Rom or the Cognition 4.3 Rom that I have now installed.
I have tried several different apk's, but to no avail. They install, but i get FC's as soon as i try to add the widget to my homescreen.
Does anyone have a solution to to this problem, such as a working apk?
Thanks
EDIT: News and Weather widget also known as Genie widget

You can't install it, you have to place it in the /system/app folder in the new rom (on your phone, replacing the one that doesn't work)
Use root explorer to place it.
Then restart your phone.

Oh so nice! I used Super Manager from the market to move the file from my sd card to the /system/app folder. Super manager was a little quirky to get root permission, but it worked after force closing.
I didn't even have to reboot!
Thanks for your help everyone.
Now I can keep track of each little article about the playoffs -
Boo yaa!
Best news customizable news app that ive found.
Now, how do I mark the thread as solved?
I moved over from the Acer Liquid E as well. While the Captivate is faster, it runs out of RAM faster since the Acer had the full 512mb available to the user and the Captivate only allows about 340mb.
Otherwise the Captivate is an upgrade in every other aspects!

Thanks to team carbon for making this awesome theme and giving me permission to port it.
Thanks to ptfdmedic for making the base theme with the 1% battery mod.
Big thanks to ACS for EE03
This is far from complete and with an official gingerbread just around the corner im not gonna put too much more into this until we get it. Gingerbread has a different framework that im still leaning so with that said here is what is done
2.2
swype
gingerbread keyboard
A few framework bug fixs
2.1
phone
dialer tab
mms
2.0
1% battery mod
AOSP lockscreen
CRT/overscroll glow (blue from cyanbread cm7 theme)
framework res
system ui
contacts
email
market (older version, requires deleting market updater.apk, then in manage apps find market and uninstall updates)
google search
settings
miui music
launcher
There are a few tiny bugs that i know of but everything works. The biggest is vibration on/off in the pull down menu works but the button doesnt switch on off. (EDIT SQUASHED) The rest really arent bugs just small visual things that bug me.
The usual disclaimer
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, flash at your own risk!
DO NOT flash on anything but EE03 with noCIQ
I have only used this on the stock EE03 rom, If your using ptfdmedics beta-ish midnight 6.0 please post how it works for others to read. I guessing it should work fine(EDIT WORKS FINE)
Instructions
no CIQ required follow flashing instructions for that here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082783
Once the rom and nociq are flashed then flash like any other theme
wipe cache 3x
wide dalvic 3x
flash theme and enjoy
always backup before flashing

I just wanted to say thank you! I love the theme... I have been on EE03 since it came out (thank you to ACS and the whole team over there) and I was coming from the Cynox theme on EC05 (which I loved)(thank you IMPuLSe EX) and this is right in that same vein. I also wanted to attach some screenshots and also mention that when I flashed the TW Lockscreen (here)(thank you p3dr0maz) I got a pretty cool result! (Screenshot also attached)
EDIT: I attached screenshots after flashing 2.1, the new SMS/MMS icon and Phone icon are great, and the Dialer is really sharp!!!
EDIT: I attached screenshots after flashing 2.2, the few things that were updated are fantastic. In the notification drawer the sound/vibrate toggle is fixed (AWESOME), there is a very cool new blue glow on the bottom drawer bar (also AWESOME) and the keyboard looks outstanding!!!
Lame question of the day cause I've never really had to ask.... How do you "undo" a theme once you flash it? Or can you?

Backup before hand. You can just flash another theme/rom but that can be hit or miss as it could have things it doesn't replace. Backup is best bet.

Make a Nandoid backup to restore if you don't like the theme you flash. Otherwise flash the ROM again to reset it.
