For all whom might be interested in such a thing I found this in the nexus one forums. Credit goes to one stick.e. First (optional), if you want to save your settings (thanks decalex) using root explorer go to /data/data/com.handcent.nextsms/shared_prefs and copy the com.handcent.nextsms_preferences.xml to a safe location on your computer or sd card. Secondly, remove all things handcent on your phone incl. Font packs, plugins, etc. Install as a regular app. Lastly, restore the .xml you copied earlier (if you did it, duh) then change the theme to hero and the style to black and reboot. Now you'll have a sweet handcent with blacked out popups and the message screen shows through to your (live maybe?) Wallpaper.

Awesome thanks running now.
Is there a newer version for a newer Handcent, 3.5.3 I think?

this looks really freakin nice. Thanks for posting.
I was gonna dive into the data/data folder to see if there was an easy way to restore my previous settings (like ringtones assigned to contacts, bubble colors, font sizes.. etc etc). Anyone able to restore their old setup yet while retaining this new version? I'll edit post if/when I figure it out .. fwiw
EDIT:
Sweet.. this worked-- for anyone has super customized their handcent settings (like I have). Someone could probably automate this with a batch, but it's not rocket science:
I use Root Explorer
BEFORE uninstalling your current version, go to:
data/data/com.handcent.nextsms/shared_prefs/
Copy: com.handcentnextsms_preferences.xml to your SDCard.
Uninstall your current handcent version, install the new version.
Copy the backed up xml from your SDCard back to data/data/com.handcent.nextsms/shared_prefs/
Then reboot (which will fix permissions, etc). All seems to work fine though and saved all of my settings.

How do you get the live wallpaper in the background? I only see image and color as options for the background. Thanks!
Edit: I see that you just see your live wallpaper in the settings if you have one set. I thought you guys meant that you could choose a live wallpaper as the background for both the conversation and chat backgrounds...

ya-- it basically just makes the window background transparent, so you see through to the other side.

Yes,that's only for sgs darky, but i'm sure that there's a way to change icons in the notification bar on almost every rom/device, what device are you using?

Would this work for a QVGA phone?

Dunno, maybe, becouse Desktop Visualizer scales down images ("icons") if they are too big and you can play around with a feature in LauncherPro (widget resizing). You can try, if it doesn't work, I could make a smaller resolution version, but I only have a HDPI device and I couldn't test it.

[Q] wallpaper resize itself ?

Hi
I tried to use this wallpaper pixel (480x800) but somehow it always resize to 240x400 but when I do a screen capture this is the size I have (480x800) of a blow up picture. Please advice how I could get the full size image display on my i9000. Has anyone notice this ?
Thanks
This is what I would like to have and the size is 480x800

And this is what I got and when I do a screen capture the size is actually 480x800

Anyone has similar experience ?
Thanks

Have you tried the app Wallpaper Set and Save? That might help, its a free app from the market just search "Set and Save"

Thank you for your replied, before I'm going to try any apk, just want to know if this happend to others i9000 as I'm using custom ROM, theme and kernal that may have cause this problem.

Yes, it does happen to me on EVERY launcher except for the default TouchWiz UI. I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro and GO; all with the same result. Is there a solution to this within the launchers themselves?
EDIT - I tried Wallpaper Set and Save, but it's not a good solution. it loads the image a bit better, but the zoom is still too great. Also it doesn't provide options for vertical or horizontal area selection on an image

Hi
What I found is by using ADW EX launcher as long as I set my image dpi at 72 less then the it works.

HD Glass Icons Released

Here are the icons I have been working on for the past few days. Credit for the original HD Icons goes out to mikebeecham for his icons which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828832
I just simply made a "matte glass" template and imported his icons. I did one for almost ever app that I use on my homescreen, so there are a few major ones missing. However, inside this .rar file you will find a Photoshop template. Just download the original HD icons, import the desired icon into the "icon(REPLACE)" layer, resize to fit, save as a .png with transparency (its important that you enable transparency) and copy to SD card. To get the most out of these icons, use Desktop Visualizer. Download from the market, install, and add a 1x1 widget to the desktop for each icon. Pressing it will bring you to the settings for that widget. Simply browse to the file on your SD card, select the desired app, use no text and a transparent label, and your good to go. Below are some screens of my current setup to show you how they look in use. Please enjoy, and upload pics of any icons you create so we can all see!
Thanks guys. -Steve

How would you install these to replace all app icons?

You need to use
A. An app that allows custom shortcut icons like folder organizer or bettercut.
b. A lot of work that will break updates from the market on a lot of apps.
A. Tends to be the better choice.

Yeah i search all the time for an app drawer replacement that will let you do just that... it doesnt exist.. and i dont know why. The one way i did it was to use folder organizer, replace all the icons with folder organizer. Then take a folder organizer folder with all the apps in it and drop it on my dock in place of the app drawer in launcher pro. Basically used a folder as my app drawer. It did the job but was still a pain in the ass.

How to change Smart Cover wallpaper without root

1) Copy the theme file of your choice (.hwt) from the HWTheme folder to your PC
2) Open the .hwt file with Winrar
3) Locate the file framework-res-hwext and open it with Winrar
4) Navigate to folder \res\drawable-xxhdpi
5) Copy or replace the wallpaper of your choice, in PNG format, with a resolution of 1047 x 1312, filename cover_background_default.png
In order to have both the original and the modified themes available in the Themes app, I edited the description.xml file in order to use a different name for the modified theme.
Save the .hwt file, copy it to the HWThemes folder and apply the new theme and give it a try! ?

This doesn't work. I've tried it several times. I have the Marshmallow update on my Honor 5X. The wallpaper you put in there shows up, but there is still another section above it that displays the stock wallpaper over it in a smaller window. It looks terrible. So this might work if you are still using Lollipop, but the update seems to break it.

I'm on marshmallow too. My device is not an Honor 5X though, it's a Mate 7.
Since you are not using a Mate 7, you may need to use a different resolution than ours. A suggestion would be to check the resolution of the original wallpaper.

I actually figured out the issue. I have my display settings set under view mode to small. If you set it to anything but large, this issue happens. Give it a try on yours and see if it is a universal issue. The moment I set it back to large, the screen was filled. This is a ROM issue for Huawei to resolve I think.

That isn't the issue though. The issue is that they seem to have an added overlay that includes their default wallpaper. So no matter what I set it to, that overlay displays on top of the one I set. On top of that, if I set the view mode in the display settings to anything other than large, it shrinks that overlay and you end up with what I shared in that screenshot. It's a ROM based issue as far as I can tell.

EMUI Theme editor
to chage smart cover wallpaper I think this is easiest way:
install EMUI theme editor from play store or Aptoide
open it and choose your current theme
change "S view" and save your theme
finish
