[Q] Looking for static live wallpaper app - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have launcher pro and ive made the status bar transparent. My problem is that launcher pro crops the wallpaper and so there is a black bar at the top of the screen(status/notification bar). The only way around this is to use a live wallpaper.
Ive found multi live picture wallpaper but there are a few issues. First it doesnt let you scroll the image left and right as you can with a normal wallpaper. Second it is extremely slow and laggy. When rotating the screen it takes at least a second or two to load the wallpaper back in.
All I want is a live wallpaper that is exactly the same as the normal static wallpaper chooser but it is instead a live wallpaper so it actually fills teh screen behind my status/notification bar. Anyone know of such an app?

Maybe try switching launchers? I use the ADW Launcher and I have to say it works much smoother. The above errors you stated, I don't even recognise.
You can find it in the market

I've already paid for launcher pro. I cannot find the widgets that come with it else where and id rather not pay for them individually if they exist.
Launcher pro is brilliant, apart from this one flaw. Its just finding a fix...

I use launcher pro and I don't see any black bar when I hide the notification bar. Are you sure your wallpaper is of the right size?

Hi snapper,
I'm not hiding the notification/status bar. I've made it transparent, "glass like" so that you can see through it.

(ps more themes WILL come, when i have time to spare)
I 've managed to extract framework folder.I opened framework-res.apk and found a lot of folders.I assume the .png i am looking for is located in drawable-ldpi folder,but the problem is that i cannot find which .png it is.If someone could guide me things would be much easier.Thanks Daniel for your response,can't wait for your themes...
Hey there!
sorry for activating up that old thread, but i'm trying to get my statusbar transparent at the momen.
I think al almost did it, there's just one strange "bug".
I changed all the *.png relatet to the status bar with transparent pictures, that does work for now i think,
BUT:
If my Screen is locked, i can see the background picture behind the status bar, if screen is unlocked, background picture is "cut" under the statusbar, statusbar is just black, if i drag down the bar, i can see that the dragdown menu is "sliding" between the statusbar and that strange black background....
any suggestions or tips?

If you have it working that far i cen tell you how to see it on regular screen too. You need to be running ADW.launcher (or launcher pro but i have no idea how to enable it)
In ADW launcher there is a setting for Wallpaper hack , in system settings i believe. Turn that off and you should see the wallpaper through the statusbar.
thanks for the reply, would be nice to know how it works with launcher pro, that's my prefered launcher...
will test it in ADW now.
I guess there could be some similar trick to Launcher Pro.
ADW is working fine, looks cool, unfotunately i can't attach files here, if i could, i would share my framework-res.apk with everyone here
I did already build 3 framework-res.apk file, theyre similar to each other, no big changes done, just other style of the status bar and changed battery Icons, sothat normal battery icon is black/white, only the orange an red batteryicons are colored.
Launcher Pro doesn't work, there's no way to use it without the wallpaper hack...
at the moment I'm trying to build my own custom Rom, but have to read more about that before i can realy build one...

[help]transparent status bar with launcher pro

Hi xda friends...
After too many tutorials and so many practices now i succesfully made my statusbar transparent using apktool. But only few launchers like zeam,espier support native transparent status bar with static wallpaper. To get it transparent in.launcher pro we have to use multipicture live wallpaper. But as we all live wallpapers drain more battery and make the system a bit sluggish. We can get transparent using adw ex launcher but its not as smooth as launcher pro & also adw ex is not beautiful as it, so i prefer launcher pro.
So here i want some help from brilliant minds that is there any method to get transparent status bar with launcher pro without using live wallpaper.....?????
Launcher Pro + Multi Live Wallpaper = Transperant Bar
Awesome!
Well, I am using HTC Rom along with the launcher pro, can I still get a transparent bar outta that or do I need a MIUI Rom for that?
Can you please tell me the way how to get the transparent bar work using Multi Live in any ROM.

I thought launcher pro gave you a transparent status bar by default but i could be wrong...I use ADW Launcher Ex i'm sure the result will be the same. Use Live Wallpaper Creator and create a one slide Live Wallpaper, so basically a statiuc wallpaper...I've used this for a long time and never noticed any performance issue.
In adw launcher you can uncheck manage wallpaper internally to get transparency

[Q] Notification bar shadow (?)

Hello. I have just started to try out some custom ROMs and I did fond 2 I actually like. They are both CM 7.2 but there is one thing that bothers me the most that is probably not a big deal to most.
Whenever I tap on the notification bar, I see a transparent shadow following it down. It keeps on following when dragging down and stops about when in the middle of the dockbar icons of the ADW launcher. That shadow gets random sizes and it's hard to not notice while screen is white.
It might not be very visible on the picture but it was the best sample I could get.
Is there a way to hide it or to just make it less visible?

[REQ] Widget Theme Set

I throw down a glove and give this challenge:
A theme which makes widgets and icons look like their holo shadows when being dragged across a stock-like ics/jb homescreen (apex and nova both have this too). I should probably clarify: when you are adding and moving a widget, the crosshairs appear in the background and as you drag the widget, a faint blue outline version of the widget appears in the position where the widget would snap to.
I would like a theme which makes the actual widget look like that.
Any takers?
This picture may roughly show the idea that I had in mind:

Gray gradient on the homescreen

I noticed this gray gradient on the homescreen and recents with a black wallpaper and it's just really awkward to look at once you notice it. It becomes REALLY apparent if I increased to brightness. Is this just something tied with the System UI? Changing the launcher doesn't do anything and opening up a black wallpaper doesn't show these gradients. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.
Happened to me as well and figured it is because I have Cf. Lumen installed.
I have the same issue. This is my third S6 Edge with same problem. Tried multiple fixes with no luck. Can't use any dark wallpapers, anyone know how to fix?
