Has anyone gotten Transparent widgets going working on their D3?
I tried to snag an .apk for Transparent Pandora, with no success on being able to install it. Am I doing something wrong or will these files need to be modded specifically for the D3? If yes, anyone working on this currently? I'd love to see Transparent widgets on meh D3!
If i could, I'd work on it myself, but I still don't know S#!7
[edit]
I'm retarded... Please if a moderator could delete this post/thread! Thanks!
Didn't think about erm, simply removing my current version of pandora... derp...

can we get that clock widget on the captivate?
Im sure you can. There is a full Fascinate system dump that is available. Thats how a lot of people are being able to get the live wallpapers. Just have to find the exact name of the widget and associated files for it, and then figure out what it takes to get it to work. That is if it is a stock fascinate widget.
That's SamsungWidget_DigitalClock1.apk, i grabbed it from the fascinate system dump but it obviously doesn't install on my Captivate. Must need to be modified and I have no clue as to how. I'd love to learn though.
Edit: With further research into this widget.. i now know what the term deodexed means.. not sure how to do it though.. still researching.

I'm also very interested in converting (deodexing) packages for use on other firmwares or phones so it would be great to hear how you go!
I got the odex file deodexed, resigned the apk after adding the classes.dex file and it doesn't install, i feel i'm close though. I'm not sure widgets are a good candidate for this process but i don't know any better.
I've actually gotten further.. past the errors i've been getting and had the .apk load on the phone successfully, i get errors on the phone now loading the widget in logcat so I probably have to work on it a bit more.
Has anyone else actually been able to do this successfully? I'm using the customizable themes, a-la framework-res.apk hacking as my starting point on this. How much harder can bringing over widgets be? If anyone else has more experience than me on doing this, I could use some tutorials or tips on apk hacking. I can't imagine that something as simple as a widget would be hard to port over.
I think I've actually seem a clock similar to this on the market place when I was looking for a clock widget. I'm not sure the name though I'll see if I can find it again.
it would be great if someone could put a apk for either i cant seem to get it to work when i edit the files and re pack them soooooo im asking for some more experienced help
In the captivate apps sub there is a guy who does this sort of thing. He posted some of his themes/mods there.

I have been looking and looking for a way to do this myself, but I'm at a lose. If someone could whip this up that would be great! I hate the black (grayish) color of the dock. Would love for it to be clear!
I will look into this after I get less hung over. 2 hours of sleep.
Who uses the tw launcher anyhow? I am just pulling your leg, it should be a simple png or 9png.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I can not for the life of me find where it is it's odd that the Vibrant/Captivate have a different TW launcher then what we do, same with the Epic.
I actually like tw. They buddies widget rocks. Would love the clear bottom bar

I was passed out until just a bit ago. Extracted the apk as we speak.
EDIT: ok i replaced every possible image that is associated with the dock bg. It appears that its controlled by an xml and set to black with transparency. I don't feel like digging through all the xmls to figure out right now, maybe someone more experienced can look through it.

Damn it! I was thinking it was a xml but I was hoping it wasn't..
Still waiting........ haha!
I'm no expert but I believe the two files that need to be edited are \res\layout-land\launcher.xml and \res\layout-port\launcher.xml . Change the android:color to @android:color/transparent under the section com.sec.android.app.twlauncher.MenuDrawer .
I'm having trouble recompiling the apk so that my phone recognizes it as a launcher.
Like I said I'm no expert so I'm not 100% on this.

I can't even find the files that you are talking about? Are you talking about the framework-res.apk or the twlauncher.apk?
maybe I'm way off then, I was looking in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app

No, I was wrong.... haha! my bad. I was thinking it would be in the framework folder, but it actually might be in the system/app
Have you tried to copy the .apk to your Sd Card then change it to .zip
-unzip the file
-mess get the new .xml compiled from that
-use the app "Ninjamorph" to put the new .xml file back
Think that would help you?
Edit: Or just upload the new .xml files that you mess around with and I'll see if I can get it pushed in
OH! I also failed to mention that it is 100% a .xml file. I've messed around with some morphs that are out for other galaxy s phones and the background is still that ugly gray/black thing.
I keep getting FC's when i swap them out, I'll post the xml's. -port goes to layout-port and -land goes to layout-land. remove the -land and -port and rename the .xls to .xml.
I can't guarantee this will work so try at your own risk.
So you switched them out with Ninjamorph already? And still get FC's?
I'm wondering if we could get a copy of the TouchWiz launcher from the Epic if we could just copy and past the .xml from there?
Yea I switched them out with ninjamorph and still got problems, also tried swapping them out of a deodex'd apk and got the same issue. I have no idea on the epic, like I said before I'm definitely no expert I just like to tinker.

That's how I started with the Moto Droid. Just started to tinker. lol!
I'll look for an Epic version of the launcher or any other galaxy phone launcher in a system dump or if anyone else can find one a post it.
We really need someone that is good with .xml stuff
Here Is a Clear Dock when you click on it its going to look black but it works
Found this in the main Android thread. Edit the images to match my Black Alien Void Theme.
If you have a version already installed, please remove it before installing this one. Just install like an other app in file explorer. Enjoy TW671

Pick my music folder on my SDcard without any probrems. Will research the FC's on music search. Don't know about 1x4 widget but will look into it. Thanks for the feedback.
no thank you man, you do amazing work, i always end up using your themes when i decide to change looks =]. also. i found the issue. its the sisoDRMProvider.apk that was causing the issue... i restored the .apk and its working fine.

Glad you found what the problem. I would like to remove the DRM, but you said it will cause other related problems like this. Also if removed you can not set songs as ringtones
I am trying to do some customizations. On my previous phones (Droid 1 and Droid 2), even with stock firmware, I was able to use ROM Toolbox Pro to replace the icons.
Well, on the Droid 4 it mostly doesn't work. I was able to replace the ugly ADB Debug icon with a better one, but I can't replace the signal, Wi-Fi, battery, etc - it reboots the phone and the old icons are still there.
I made a backup of the original icons, and the folders show: com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi, and they have names such as stat_sys_signal_1.png
I extracted framework_res.apk and am literally unable to find these at all. They have a similar ones, but the icons in question are NOT there, I scrolled through all of them to check. None even named the same thing. I poked around in the rest of the system/framework folder, finding nothing of use.
Does anybody know where the heck these files are stored at on the stock firmware? I swear I've heard of a blur_res.apk before, but again I can't find where that might be. If I find them, I should be able to just inject the customized PNGs on my computer and overwrite the file on my phone...

Wow! I actually didn't know that there was an app that could change the phone's icons. That sucks that it doesn't work well on Droid 4. Just to clarify, are we talking about the icons in the notification bar? Like the battery power level, wifi indication, etc?
Well anyway, I'm not sure where the actual icon files are located. I've always used a flashable mod to change those icons, or gotten a custom ROM. But, if you want to know, I'd try and contact one of the Droid 4 developers on here, like Hashcode or myfishbear. Maybe shoot 'em a Private Message or something. They do a lot on here, but maybe you'll get a response out of them.
Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.
Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.

Cool! Maybe I'll give that app a try sometime. Thanks. Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for.
