Below is a link to the files for the Roku Remote Widget. I would appreciate if any one can take a quick look at them and give me some guidance on how hard of a project it would be to make it transparent.
I am thinking of attempting this but I dont want to bite off more than I can chew.
Thanks!

Deep Idle does NOT cause your phone to use less power when screen is off. It already goes into Deep Sleep for that. Deep Idle ONLY gives battery savings when using your phone with screen off, such as when playing music or using GPS.

Below is a link to the .apk, I appreciate any guidance you can give me.
snap.. is that a paid app?
If so, take down that link.. I can tell you how to mod. Should be fairly simple if you're familiar with the basics.
Also, tell me which widget you use-- the large fullscreen one, or the smaller rectangle one

Yup, it's this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.greggreno.rokuremote The dev really should put in a Market license check.

well, no disrespect to the dev, but this app is ugly as f#$%
Anyway, I transparentized most of the pngs before I realized. OP, lemme know.
Looks like, functionality-wise, it's a good app tho.
LOL, yeah the dev also makes Juice for Roku which is a very cool app but ugly as sin.

eh.. kinda ghetto.. dev didn't set up the images proper size.. so half the png buttons are squished.
I just brought down the opacity on the buttons and a few .9.pngs. I could burn them a little to bring up the contrast.

If you can point me in the right direction to mod it it would be great! I never modded before but hey you have to start somewhere right?
XDA has been a great source of help to me, so I am trying to learn a little as I go along so I can help others as well!
For sure-- I can point u in the right direction. Just to know, any photoshop (or gimp or paint.net or other) experience?

Here is a good overall guide with several links for theming:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814
FYI, to theme a widget like this one, you wouldn't really need to do any xml or smali edits.
First I would google 7zip and download that. Apk files are basically zip files that have been compiled/signed. In the case where you just want to replace a .png image (not .9.png), you can just open the apk in 7zip, and drop the new png you have edited. Most of the time, the pngs you will be dealing with will be in /res/drawable-hdpi or /res/drawable/
But in the case where you need to modify a .9.png, xml, or smali, you will need to decompile the apk, which is covered in the tutorial above.
Here's a vid tutorial watching someone transparent the Pandora widget
The way he does it is more complex than it needs to be (from 2010), but to get an idea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86PgHghRYU0&feature=player_embedded#!
That should be enough to get you familiar with the process. I'll post more stuff as I think of it.

A few days ago, someone had a request for a lockscreen that looked like the lockscreen in Android 3.0 (Honeycomb).
So here it is. This is simply the puzzle lockscreen modded to look like the honeycomb lockscreen.
Currently, I only have this for FireFly as I built on my own framework first, but I will post the files required to achieve this look and if people want, they can post their framework-res.apk and I can edit it and give it back.
Here is the screenshot of the Honeycomb Lockscreen.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Files for Honeycomb Lockscreen:
DOWNLOAD
How to edit your framework-res.apk:
The framework-res.apk of your ROM is located in the system/framework folder. Extract it using whatever method is suitable for you (root explorer, adb, etc.)
Once you have the framework on your PC, open it with 7zip or WinRar (Right click, open archive)
Navigate to res/drawable-hdpi
Place all my files in this folder
Close archive
Place framework-res.apk back on phone
Paste it back in system/framework (overwrite it)
Reboot
If you apply this mod for certain ROMs, please post your modded framework here so I can add them to a list and make it easier for users.
Looks sexy as hell, xtreme. Great work!!

Any way this could be a CWM flashable zip or available via FF app?
Not much out there for cog 4.1.1 yet, and I've been looking for something to do in my spare time, i may have to get into the art of themes.
Looking sexy!! I assume this is going to be released with FF 2.5?!
Edit: Would be cool if someone were to make a lockscreen that would require a Multitouch (2 fingers) doing a "twisting effect", like turning a knob, in this case it would just be a circular switch. Just an idea. If I had the programming know-how, I would definitely develop this.
Could u plz add the lockscreen to this framework. It is pulled from Di11igaf's new 7.0 rom.

That is a cool idea, and Tsachi and I are trying mess with the functionality of lock screen so we can change how interactions are handled. Just can't promise anything.
It would be awesome if you guys found a way to get it to cycle images. Like on press it changes the image like normal but then 100 to 500 milliseconds later it would swap the image again. Animated lock screens would be so bad ass.
For example: default non pressed image is a dragon. Pressed image is a dragon with half cocked wings , we can do this already obviously. But then a third image of said dragon with wings fully open. Would give the illusion of a dragon taking flight when you swype. Say for instance over the epic lock screen.
EDIT: just noticed glass lock screen has a built in animation. Sigh... If only I knew the first thing about coding...

Dude, those are awesome!!
I would love one with Twitter (Plume), Browser, Music, Market, Root Explorer, Phone, Camera on the main screen (since I lock my wallpaper). I think I am going to try the free alt to photoshop and see if I can learn how to do this.... trying to make it look like yours.
The Vibrant has a super amoled screen, so the more black the better... but what I loved were how crisp the icons were that you used, and the shadow... which REALLY helps the look.
Very jealous.... I need to learn!
UN F%#%$# BELIEVABLE !!!
Genius Genius Genius way of customizing homescreen icons. Rockin this now!!!
I tried several times to download the transparent icon but get a blank screen all the time. Tried it from my vibrant haven't tried from my computer. But I would think I shouldn't have problems from phone thoe. Anybody else having this problem? Tried with stock browser and dolphin hd, same results.
Sent from xda app on vibrant running axura 2.3.1.2
What do you mean by blank screen? You should just be able to right click save as.
And not wanting this to sound snarky or anything, but because it's transparent, the blank screen makes sense.
Something I put together real quick, needs better spacing with the icons.

This is the best looking screen setup I've seen so far! I don't have the tools or talents to do this. I wish I did! I hope someone does a blue on black setup or maybe do a request for one.

Hi,
I've done this kind of WP based on ArtCore one. I've also downloaded the icon set, and using gimp, I've pasted the "high lighted" ones to represent themes that I have used for the transparent icon short cuts.
Here is the results (it's in 2 parts for my defy resolution):

I do think this is a really cool idea! Great use of ADW!
I appreciate the shout out of my icons, everyone feel free to use them all that you want and keep making requests for new icons I want to see how quick we can get to 300 icons.
Anyway, I'm sure that a lot of people are wondering how to make these awesome icon backgrounds, so I thought that I would try and make a quick tutorial in Adobe Photoshop CS5 about giving your icons a shadow to make them look more 3D and everything.
Anyway stay tuned - www.twitter.com/jordanfritzsche and I should be post a video tutorial about this in the next day or two.

aka, please be nice and don't slam it too harshly.
It's too busy, I need to add some texture/color, but not sure what to do... I was JUST about to google how to add shadows! Any help is appreciated man!
I use a 5x5 desktop and have the labels hidden in ADW settings. The icons are exactly where they should be to press. I also lock my screen, that is why the black is there on the left/right... I suppose I should have just used a 480x800 background and then I wouldn't have had to guess so much on where to put the icons, right?? Still learning....

Believe it or not, its pretty easy.
So I'll give some quick directions that you can play around with however you'd like. So I use CS5 but I'm pretty sure it is the same process, however I'm not sure about Photoshop Elements.
1. Ok so you may have done it differently but I imagine that each of the icons is, or was, a layer at one point. If not, re-create it in a separate piece copy and paste it how you'd like it and you are ready to go.
2. So once the icon is its only layer go to the layer panel on the right and right click on the layer.
3. Select Blending Options
4. Play around with each option to the left. You can simply select the check box and the default characteristics for that option will be applied to your image layer.
5. If you select the whole bar on the left, for example Drop Shadow, it'll highlight blue. Then you can tweek the drop shadow, the length of it, the opaque-ness of it, which direction the shadow comes from, etc.
Play around with probably just the top five options on the left (Drop Shadow - Bevel & Emboss) Those will effect the depth of the image.
If you need more help I will do what I can, just ask
So I was kind of wondering why the native horizontal resolution of our screen is larger then my original template. I started playing around with the ddms.bat in the SDK and sure enough the native resolution of the screen capture was 1280 horizontal. So I knew my original template was wrong and this explains the small amount of blurriness when the wallpaper is applied.
After a bit more playing in photoshop with the screen caps from ddms and this lovely aspect ration tool, I give you all the proper Xoom Wallpaper template. Same as last time the PSD is attached in the zip file below.

thank you for this! I am starting on some new wallpapers, and this will help greatly! Now I just need a DEV to make a small app (tablet only) for the wallpapers.
I gave up on looking for the "perfect" templates because in the end all you are doing is producing an image that looks good ONLY in landscape or ONLY in portrait.
You should include what the images are going to look like in both modes, just for brevity.

Search the forum, its been posted. IF you want to do it yourself, just take a screen shot of the device when the lockscreen is up, fit it into the template and your good to go.

This is amazing how difficult this is to create or use a simple background for Xoom. A simple thing turned into a development effort !

Thats not really true. This would be the same issue on ANY android device it was used in landscape mode. The problem is that the Wallpaper crop tool is still setup for portrait use, thus we need a guide to make sure what we want visible shows correctly.
What I would really like to do is edit the crop tool to add in 4 additional guides that would show what portion of the image will show on the desktop. It would not be hard to do if I know what to edit.
xoom from Moto
I understand that. But what I do not get is releasing this OS for Xoom with so many quirks. I have worked in Android for phones for a couple years. I have worked with Moto in the past, and the combo Moto/Android is not a good combo on tablet. Moto still does not get the consumer.
Just my opinion. I like the xoom and that is why I am a bit frustrated. It was a chance to regain a bit of market share. But for a consumer iPAD(which I also have) the xoom is way too problematic.
Ok so I don't have photoshop but when I used this template with gimp...my images were still not fitting the screen properly
Just to explain what this does:
- The image portion of the wallpaper (almost) fits the screen perfectly.
- The top black bar only appears when in app drawer. That's why I a have "Applications" labeled there, so it appears in the background.
- The bottom black bar appears when in "+" or widgets view, which is the reason why I labeled it "Add-ons"
- The white all-around bar is the section that won't show up at all when using XoomWallpaper_2.zip
So here is a "template" I made in GIMP. I attached both the .xcf for GIMP and also the actual .png wallpaper for those who want to try it to see what it does.
EDIT: XoomWallpaper.zip is for larger images (eg. 1892x903) and XoomWallpaper_2.zip is for smaller images (eg. 1132x540)
PS: I use "wallpaper set and save" to set my wallpapers. So I don't need to crop the image.

If its too much or just not graphically possible, just the orange one would be greatly appreciated.
cyclONE Nation for life! lol but I will see what I can do about a Squawkeye Clock.
What color would you like the second hand to be for the hawk clock?
These are all just one size?

Yup just one size, I figured most people use something like LauncherPro to resize.

Go for it lol I am also starting to make ones with sports teams icons on the background so if you have any requests.
Can u make on with the Boston Celtics logo please
You didn't say what color second hand you wanted so I just assumed green lol if you want something different just let me know. But here is ISU (the best and what I am rocking) and the Celtics. I have a Hawkeyes one, but don't have a good color for the second hand to match at this point.
*Cyclones*
*Celtics*
Could you please make one in blue with my favorite soccer team (Blooming from Bolivia). Thanks in advance, I'm attaching Blooming's icon.
Thank you very much!!!!!
Here is the Blooming one, I think it turned out looking pretty good (thanks for providing the image, made things easier). Let me know what you think.
*Blooming Soccer*
@00McD00, it (Blooming soccer team) came out great, you rock!

LOL!! Since you are making me a clock, I won't hold that against you. No rush as far as the second hand... when you find the right color, just let me know. I hope I didn't open pandora's box of custom clock requests for you. I got to thinking about it and as long as this doesn't involve tweaking xml files, I could probably do this or help. I know how to decompile apk's, mod drawable png's, and recompile. I haven't ever peeked insided this bad boy. If it is more technical than that, I'm out!!
Hey good timing I just got it done and it actually looks really good (please don't tell anyone I said that lol). Here it is along with a stock gold second hand one. Oh no don't worry about that at all, I really enjoy making them actually, it's pretty fun. But if you want to give it a try be my guest, I just use 7zip to open them up on my computer and replace whatever .png files I want to change (those changes are done with photoshop so you'd need to have that), then you need to delete the "META-INF" file before resigning it, and then I resign it on my phone using a free application called Signapktic (using the Platform key). If you want to know any more just let me know.

*Squawk Clock*

HELL YEAH!!!!
These are awesome! Thank you so much!! Yeah, I might give it a whirl. I've just recently started modding wallpapers w/ gimp, but certainly that would work for replacing a few png files. 7zip, check. I've also used apk manager to open them up and then re sign them. That's how I did the widget locker mods when the themes first came out before the themed version. Just one more thing to add to my to do list... Damn this phone!
Seriously, thanks again. And seriously, look forward to slapping you guys around this September... AGAIN!!!!!!
Boise State (blue second hand)?
Can you do the following:
Arizona Cardinals w/ Red 2nd hand
CyanogenMod logo w/ Cyan 2nd hand
Spent WAY too long working on these, so I don't know how many more of these I will do, but here's my rendition of the xxhdpi Circle Battery Icons, measuring 54 x 54 pixels each!

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
One thing I always complained about with circle battery icons on the notification bar was the size of the numbers - I use my phone on a car dock a lot of the time in the bright Florida sun, and those tiny ass numbers just won't cut it - so instead of making the number size based off of the largest ones (100 and FULL), I made those fit to size and then made all the 2 digit numbers as big as they would go, increasing size 40% over everything else available right now. Also, I used the DC Comics Flash logo for the charging indicator and made that nice and big as well, effectively going over the edges of the circle battery when applicable. Enjoy fellow comic book fans!
Now, I'm no expert at this stuff, I just went off the guidelines from another set of icons - if there are more that need to be created or I screwed up somewhere, PLEASE let me know! I take criticism very well, as long as it's helpful and not something you just felt like *****ing about.... furthermore, these icons are AS IS, I'm not going to change colors, reshape, change direction of the circle depleting battery, etc, this is what I made and again, I spent WAY too much time working on these to start almost all over to accommodate everyone, so please enjoy them for what they are. I'm NO developer, just a guy who knows Photoshop well enough to get around, so I can't help you figure out exactly where to put them in your themes or if they will work properly on your device, please search to get help on that so we can use this thread for discussion related to these icons, if necessary.
USAGE - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not use these icons in your theming without giving credit back to me via a link to this page AND leaving a thanks below. That is ALL I ask for! No donations (unless you feel absolutely compelled to do so), I certainly won't complain about that, but I did this for the community to enjoy since there aren't any xxhdpi icons out that I could find, especially none this easy to ready! Okay, now back to the real world, enjoy everyone and happy theming
EDIT - attached version 1.02, it was brought to my attention that I was missing the animated 35% icon, and the 0% icons for regular and charging, and they have been added to the RAR file now, oops!
UPDATE 1.25.14 (aka, my birthday) - @vponomarev has been so generous as to create a tool to edit my icon set with a very easy to use GUI and this is for all those who have asked for variations on the icons I made since I can't satisfy everyone with requests - this tool will do it for you! Make sure you check his thread out and THANK HIM appropriately, this is a very time consuming thing, you may not realize just how much....
looks very nice... can you possibly do one thats all blue? like even the numbers?

Sorry, I can't spend any more time working on this unless it is to fix something - since I'm running it on my current SystemUI thanks to @StolenVW, it's been checked and works great for me, sorry I couldn't help out right now! I made this so the numbers would catch your eye quickly as easily, I knew it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea (bleach, I hate tea), but that's why I made the comment
Keep your eyes peeled in the future if I decide to rework them or something though! Thanks for the comment, @thuglifesk and the "back up," @andyahs!
im running a rooted verizon GS4 stock updated to ME7. How would i get these into an .apk format to get these working or is there another way? i have exposed installer installed.

If Nottach's Xposed plug-in works for your ROM, and some say that it has on older versions of VzW ROMs, it has my icons already built-in, but I'm not sure how you would do it using an .apk other than dumping these into your old SystemUI.apk in the appropriate folder and then overwriting your current one with the modified one.... is that what you were talking about?
How do you even install these? Wont let me flash a .rar through TWRP

im not sure...i downloaded the .rar but dont know how to install these. i cant use TWRP because im stock ME7 with no recovery and i can try to modify the systemui.apk but dont know where to start with that.... how/what program could i use?
Here's an Illustrator file that I made to mimic KryptosXLayer2's original icons. It's not the exact same, as I don't see the need to read "FULL," I'd rather it read "100." Also, my lightning bolt and fonts are a little different, maybe a few different sizes here and there.
This should be much easier for people to mess with, because you could change the color for multiple layers at a time, batch export the layers, and batch-rename accordingly. So, for all the people that want it all holo blue, or maybe you want some green for charging, or whatever the case may be, you can do it yourself.
Edit: Batch export isn't built in, have a look at http://www.arcticmill.com/2012/08/export-layers-as-png-files-from-illustrator-in-multiple-resolutions.html for an Illustrator script, and http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php for a bulk renaming application (Windows)
Thanks! This can be done quickly in after effects as well using expressions...

This thread inspired me to create a tool, which would allow to customize as many parameters as possible for the circular battery icons and generate a new set with a click of a button.

I wholeheartedly endorse this message - if you have ever wanted my icons in different colors, THIS is the thread for you! Updating the OP with this link!
