Port a lock screen and notification bar

Can anyone help me with this?
I want to see if there is anyway that someone can port the transparent lockscreen and notification bar from evils hero roms and put it in an update.zip. I tried to flash evils roms and although they look great I cannot seem to get them to run right on my mytouch. I have gone back to qtek 1.8 which has always run smooth for me but want the transparent lockscreen and the notification bar from evils rom. I would greatly appreciate it if someone who was knowledgeable with porting and signing updates would be able to help not only me but a few members that I see have made the request with no response.
Just for the record I did search and found instructions but it did not seem to work for me.

Custom manila icons in slider TOO big?!?!

Hi all. I've searched and searched the forums and the net and can't seem to find anyone who has the same problem as me..
I've been wanting to change the touchflo/manila icons on my Touch Pro, and have tried all sorts of cabs and apps to do this, including Manila Cusomizer and MaxTTM as well as others..
What I've found is that with EVERY one, the icons on my touchflo/slider bar whatever you want to call it come up TOO BIG to fit into the space that they're supposed to, resulting in a cropped button/icon..
Surely someone must've had this problem and figured out the workaround? I'm guessing it's something to do with my VGA display and the icons are designed for XVGA or QVGA? I don't know.. All I know is that they look crap, when they should look sweet..
Can anyone help?
I'm running Cap's Special ROM on a Touch Pro if that helps.
Thanks!
Not exactly sure what you mean. Are you using MaxManila - I know there are problems with tab icons being cut off at the top with some ROMs using it? Are you able to post a screenshot so we can see exactly what the problem is?

[Q] Help with porting a skinned widget

Hi all. I'm a long time lurker on the site and think I've learned a lot from everyone here but this time I really need some help.
I am working on a scrolling wallpaper theme based on a wood background using launcherpro plus. I really want to use a search widget like the one from the Eyefold ADW theme (see picture) and think I have all of the drawables from the apk but for the life of me I can't ninjamorph it or modify the quicksearch apk to get it to display properly.
I'm sure this is probably easy for a lot of people here so if anyone could give me any pointers or they're kind enough to do it for me so I can open it up and see what I was doing wrong it it would be really appreciated.

[Q] Overlapping text and icons in status bar solutions?

Hey guys. So one problem I've been trying to find a solution for is I like allot of information in my status bar but I have so much in it I keep running into the issue of the text and icons overlapping. For example when I use Wanams setting to center the clock allot of things overlap or when I try to add more and nothings overlapping it whatever is on the right side just runs off the screen. Is there a way to create maybe a marquee style where I could add as much I wanted and just have anything that runs off the screen in the status bar constantly scroll across? Currently running Firekat v6.
First possible solution listed here by another member, didn't work though, fishing for more ideas...

Bro I thing your font just sux... change the font or the size of it. See attachment.
Yeah man I know it is a little on the bold side but I kinda like it, other than changing the font I'm thinking there's gotta be another way because no matter what the font someone could have too much up there and be facing the same situation....

At least you could make the font smaller and honestly I don't know a mod to make the icons scrollable..
I found this but not sure if it works or if it can help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546180
Hmm, well just noticing how when the network speed indicator changes everything to the right of it expands to the right and the contracts back, wondering if that could placed on the left and tweaked to pull everything on the right smoothly to the left, then repeat... Not trying to kang though
Lol like pac man in your status bar? That's a fun idea

[Q] How to force EMUI not to add icon background?

Emotion UI cuts icons corners to make it rounded (iOS like) and adds background to every icon, even to these with transparent parts. It tries to pick at least similar color to icon, but still it looks horrible with many icons. Any idea how to disable this feature?
I agree it doesn't look good at all. The only way to do it is by finding a theme which allows you to have transparent icon backgrounds. Usually a Lollipop or a Material theme will have that.

It is a Q&A thread and a very valid question which many people will have. Even I had it when I got a Huawei phone and eventually figured out you had to change it with themes. Problem is they don't include any themes which disable that by default. So you have to search the web and look all over just to find a theme which supports icons with transparent backgrounds. It's no easy task and honestly it should at least come with one theme out of the box which allows for icons with transparent backgrounds.
The only solution I could find was running a different launcher. I'm running Nova Launcher and a Marshmallow theme now and this has oddly enough made me much happier with my phone.
