[UPDATE 1/30/16 | THEME l MOD ] Transparent Widget Skins - Android Themes
[UPDATE 06/27/2017 | THEME l MOD ] Transparent Widget Skins
What this thread is about.
You attach the .apk that needs the widget transparent. Someone that knows how to make it transparent will take time out of their day to help. You can show your appreciation by pushing "Thanks." This thread is only for widgets and not the whole app.
If you have a request please post the .APK (no spaces in the file name) of the program along with a screen shot of the widget if possible to help the modders know what to change without installing it, thanks! To find the .apk to attach go here. Another way look here. To make your own transparent widgets look here.
All credit goes to the people making these widgets transparent.
Below are the recent ones.

Thanks to those still viewing this thread!!
In the 2nd post there is a "pending requests" section.
FAQ
I have a paid app. Can I still post it?
Please do not post any paid apps. You may have gotten it free during a promotion but it still costs money. If you do post it and a mod finds out you may receive an infraction.
How do I install this?
Uninstall the app on your phone using titanium backup (free in the market) and then install the .apk file you downloaded from here using a file manager.
How do I post an app that I want transparent here?
To find the .apk to attach look here
I installed it but the widget isn't transparent.
Try changing the theme on your phone as some themes like to override the app so you will always see a background. One other reason is that the widget was only changed for HDPI devices. You may request a MDPI transparent widget.
I want it in a different text color.
For text color requests please keep it to black and/or white.
Why do requests take so long?
There is no team working on these everyday. The people doing these are just like you and me and take time out of their day to help. Some take minutes to do and some take hours to do. In the end some may be impossible to do. Give us time and eventually someone may get to yours. Thanks for your patience.
I posted and my post was ignored.
I read every post and will put requests with the .apk file attached in the 2nd post. If you just post a name or a link to the market I may not put that request in the 2nd post. If I did the requests would be 50+ and never ending as not everyone uses the same apps as you and they don't want to download it. Also, sometimes everyone reading will not know the answer and won't reply. Thanks for understanding.
I want to help you make widgets transparent.
Look in the second post. Thanks!

Where Can I Find Fonts for the G1
Hey to whom reads this, im looking for a post of flashable fonts or a site with a selection.the only post i came across in xda forums was a thread about the default font and scribble font. i have tried the font flasher app from blapk market but i dnt think that apps is compatible with my device. but i have obtained a few fonts from a youtube member's video. but any help is greatly appreciated. I HAVE UPLOADED ALL FONTS THAT I HAVE OBTAINED. Actually is there a way to create a font in proper format and all that to work for my g1. jus a question i jus thought of.
www.1001freefonts.com www.dafont.com www.urbanfonts.com Thats the top 3 google results. Good luck. I use TypeFresh and I like it a lot.. You'll find a lot of fonts are much too small to be useable.. But ive found a few that I liked. Theres a ****LOAD of fonts out there..

searching for...
hello people, i stumbled across a thread a few days ago where someone had modded their ROM so that the "glow" colours of android were green or blue (depending on which file you downloaded) but for the life of me, I can't find it again! i've searched for close to an hour using the search here as well as google and nothing! from memory, the person had created a a pack with green glow, blue glow and red as well... anyone have any ideas and can link me up? my brain hurts... thanks! note, it wasn't a theme or metamorph - it was just a change of the glow colour of the default buttons and highlights etc nevermind - found it! omg MODS - please delete this post if necessary, sorry for the waste of time

Honeycomb, Atrix, Thunderbolt, Bionic Mods for LauncherPro
Hey guys, I've created a new thread (as per request from mwielgosz), regarding the mods I've made for the Haxzamatic Honeybread theme, as well as some new additions for getting an Atrix, Thunderbolt, or Bionic setup. The zip files are directly linked to my Dropbox, so there's no worries about getting sent to some obscure download site (one of my pet peeves). Below are screenshots of my personal setups, and I've made the zip files available below, for anyone who wants them. PM me for and custom dock requests, and please specify which setup you want (dock type, color, icon layout, etc.). These are pretty full packages... icons, docks, boot animations, wallpapers, etc., so you should be good to go once you get them. A special thanks, and credit for some of the Honeycomb package to Haxzamatic (aka GFX Android), Cyber Warrior for some of the Thunderbolt wallpapers (totally sick!!), the Cyanogen Mod team, and to everyone else here at XDA who makes owning an Android phone so much fun! I hope this thread can become a one-stop-shop for anyone looking for some nice setups to complete their themes, and for any devs who are looking to incorporate new things into their projects (fyi, I have the Xoom, Atrix, and Thunderbolt system dumps, and the 3.0 SDK for any interested devs). As a side note... NONE of the zip files are flashable (with the exception of the boot animations). Just unpack them and enjoy! Again, for any special requests, just PM me with what you would like. Thanks again to everyone, and happy modding!
Here's the Dropbox link for direct download! Let me reiterate, NONE of these zips are flashable! Just download them to your PC, extract the files, and put them on your device. These mods are also NOT device or ROM specific, so they will work on any phone. If you want a custom dock or something else, please email me with your request, providing specifics on what you would like. Thanks guys! Atrix - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Android1/Atrix.zip Bionic - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Android1/Bionic.zip Droid Incredible 2 - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Android1/DInc2.zip Honeycomb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Android1/Honeycomb.zip Thunderbolt - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22585959/Android1/Thunderbolt.zip And please guys... if you like the setups, don't be afraid to hit the thanks button!

You can use dropbox and it has shareable links you know. so you can post the links here so we can dl from your dropbox

Thanks. Edit: scratch that... got it working. Enjoy guys!
And here's the Bionic setup... the system dump isn't available yet, so there's no icons. I've included Icons from the other zips so you can get a nice look. I'll post Bionic icons as soon as they become available. EDIT: Full zip added to OP
I'm liking the docks a lot, any chance of getting the honeysense one without the phone icon and text in the middle?
rjacobs182 said: I'm liking the docks a lot, any chance of getting the honeysense one without the phone icon and text in the middle? Click to expand... Click to collapse Absolutely! what would you like in place of it? The problem with custom Sense docks is that icons don't look right unless they're embedded (the scaling is off). Let me know what you want in place of it, and I'll throw it up ASAP!
Either nothing or just the phone text centered without the icon would be great, I'm using the dock with adw launcher and Ive got five apps on the dock, with the big icon there the second app text touches just the edge of it.

Change Sense 3 Lockscreen Custom icons?
Is there a way to put custom icons on the lockscreen instead of the default circle icons?

CC268 said: Is there a way to put custom icons on the lockscreen instead of the default circle icons? Click to expand... Click to collapse Are you talking about the black circle buttons behind the icons? I think you could probably replace them using m10 tools much like with making a custom lock ring.

There are 2 huge threads in this very section... BAMF'd Tbolt w/ tapatalk
I think i know what you are asking. You want to change the shortcuts that are on the lock screen. Click the personalize button. Then click lock screen. Then click settings. Depending on the lock screen selected you will get an option that says "select Shortcuts" (click this item) or a window that shows the four shortcuts. Clicking on one of the shortcuts in that window will allow you to replace this shortcut with an application in your app drawer. Also make sure you are editing the one that says (current) -Duck
I believe the OP wants to use custom themed icons that he has instead of the icons that come in the system. Not just changing the app short cut. Does anyone know if metamorph works with any if these builds? That would be one way to use your favorite custom icons... Edit: another way you might be able to do this is modifying the app icon using apk editor. Hope this helps.

We need to start helping eachother a little better guys. This thread is the very first search result on Google when you search for "custom icons sense 3 lock screen", seriously, go search for yourself. It is sad that this thread has been hit enough times to be the first result on Google and all I, and the 664 other people looking for the same thing see is this guy getting yelled at for asking a question. If the question has been asked 1.5million times before of course I can understand the frustration, but post a link and then yell; or yell and then post the link, either way. But to just simply say that there are threads about the topic already but not provide any links is asinine; that makes you contribute the the junk threads just as much. If someone does ask the question for the 1200th time post a link and maybe suggest some key terms for a search next time. I know 100% of the time I ask a question that has already been asked, its because I wasn't sure of the proper terminology or key words to use to find it. Seriously guys, I'm not trying to rant, im not trying to flame or troll or any of that. But were a community of people who have a common interest, and you should never scold someone for asking a question. Were supposed to be helping each other out, not tearing each other down because one person thinks there more "entitled" than the next. Now im going to continue to search and will post back with any links that I can find. I encourage anyone who already knows the answer to post links as-well it would be much appreciated by many im sure.
