[Q] - Sense Widgets only in "Next launcher"? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I found out that I can add Sense Widgets to the next launcher lite. They are full functional an resizeable.
In Apex or Nova launcher it isn't possible.
I was realy surprised that it is generally possible because in Sense 4 the widgets were integrated und Rosie, so why can I do it in Sense 5 and only in next launcher?

Are you running a custom Rom or stock?

Hi,
This is pretty cool. Apparently you can use widgets and home screen settings from ADW, LauncherPro, LG TouchWiz, and HTC Sense with the next launcher. The details page of the Next Launcher at the Play store indicate;
We introduced the following permission to support our new function – Migrate home screen from other launchers
com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS – Migrate from HTC sense
com.lge.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS – Migrate from LG Home
com.fede.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS – Migrate from LauncherPro
org.adw.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS – Migrate from ADW Launcher
org.adwfreak.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS – Migrate from ADW Launcher EX
org.adw.launcher_donut.permission.READ_SETTINGS – Migrate from ADW Launcher donut
How cool. I did not know this could be done. Maybe I can switch away from Rosie now.

It's a decent launcher but still has 1 major glitch, like all the 3rd party launchers ... Non transparent status bar. The ugly greyish colour permanently is just too much for me, have to hide the status bar but it still annoys me when I unlock and it momentarily flashes grey before it hides ... Why is it not transparent on any launcher?

I am not all into theming but from what I understand the status bar has to do with the SystemUI and not the Launcher. I have a custom ROM with status bar tweaks and transparency enabled. I just installed Next Launcher and my status bar is transparent. Most of the time. Some apps it turns grey like gMail, Play store. But I think it is more that these apps have that screen area not drawn, and other apps I use, have that screen area drawn black.
The SystemUI is also why all the status bar apps on the Play store also do not have transparency. All these apps do is draw over your existing status bar. Transparent Status bar requires specific settings per ROM. Do correct me if I am wrong about this.

You're probably right dude, it just annoys me that in order to customize my phone how i like, i have to put up with that lol ... OCD is to blame but still, the little flash of grey is better than all the time.

I just flashed 4.2.2 and it isn't possible anymore...

[help]transparent status bar with launcher pro

Hi xda friends...
After too many tutorials and so many practices now i succesfully made my statusbar transparent using apktool. But only few launchers like zeam,espier support native transparent status bar with static wallpaper. To get it transparent in.launcher pro we have to use multipicture live wallpaper. But as we all live wallpapers drain more battery and make the system a bit sluggish. We can get transparent using adw ex launcher but its not as smooth as launcher pro & also adw ex is not beautiful as it, so i prefer launcher pro.
So here i want some help from brilliant minds that is there any method to get transparent status bar with launcher pro without using live wallpaper.....?????
Launcher Pro + Multi Live Wallpaper = Transperant Bar
Awesome!
Well, I am using HTC Rom along with the launcher pro, can I still get a transparent bar outta that or do I need a MIUI Rom for that?
Can you please tell me the way how to get the transparent bar work using Multi Live in any ROM.

I thought launcher pro gave you a transparent status bar by default but i could be wrong...I use ADW Launcher Ex i'm sure the result will be the same. Use Live Wallpaper Creator and create a one slide Live Wallpaper, so basically a statiuc wallpaper...I've used this for a long time and never noticed any performance issue.
In adw launcher you can uncheck manage wallpaper internally to get transparency

How did you customize your XZ?

Hello,
I'm wondering what you did to customize your XZ. I don't mean just any app but stuff that changes the default behavior/apps off the XZ.
This is what I did:
Apex launcher with Minimal Apex Theme with the skin of Glasklart
HD Widgets to counter the loss the weather widget.
Photo of the day wall paper (not really an replacment customization but I like it )
Dolphin Browser + jet pack
Kaiten mail
Rooted, changed the status bar and button bar to black (gorgeous!) and Nova Launcher Prime as launcher!
Unlocker Bootloader, Flashed Doomkernel, overclocked to 1890mhz, undervolted, flashed 36p button size, and soon going to flash black bars
rooted, changed not n button bar to black, removed software i dont use/need
Rooted, removed some bloatware... and that's about it.

4.3, Themes & Nova Launcher

I´m using Nova Launcher and i really want to use the theme Tri Flat aswell, but when i apply the Tri Flat theme when i have Nova as my launcher this happens:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/faf7z7kw9o6uwwo/Screenshot_2013-12-28-00-25-11.png?m=
(Notice the grey area down at the navigation bar)
And this is how it looks when im using Xperia Home as my launcher:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qhngtttagmo774g/Screenshot_2013-12-28-00-25-33.png?m=
Basically, i want the transparent navigation bar for the theme even when im using Nova as my launcher, is that possible?
As I remember Nova launcher has transparency option in settings.
Try to search a bit in options and put transparency on and off to see what's the best combo in Nova + TriFlat

This issue exists with Xperia roms ever since they decided that the native apps could change the colour of the Navbar (Navbar colour syncs with the Walkman background hue). Perhaps third party launchers need to include a code to relay an alpha tint to the Navbar to make it transparent or translucent.
At the moment Tinted Status Bar works for Navbar transparency. You need to change the default hue for Navbar in settings. But the effects are transient and you need to launch a stock application like dealer or messaging to observe the effects. Once you reboot, the Navbar defaults to black.

I'll just wait for gravitybox to overcome this bug, thanks for the reply though.
Sony has blocked non Sony apps from using the transparent status and navigation bars in the 4.3 firmware. I just contacted Kevin Barry, the developer of Nova Launcher in this regard and asked him whether the launcher needs an update to get it on 4.3 or has Sony restricted it? He said it's Sony.
So guys, this feature was available in the 4.2 firmware and it's really lovely. I wasn't using a custom launcher for that transparent bars, till I got to know about that option in Nova launcher. But, in 4.3 the option can't do anything unless the firmware gets a change for letting other apps use the transparent bars.
So I wanna ask, is there any way in which we can contact Sony and request them to stop this nonsense?
Please respond with an appropriate answer. Thank you!

I've tried a bunch of xposed modules and sadly nothing works fully. At best I managed to hide statusbar but no effect on navbar.

Change settings icon shape?

hi, know one can change homescreen and dock icons with Nova etc. but how does one change the shape of the settings icons (currently rounded squares) in EMUI 9.1 I like the round (Pixel like) icons on my homescreen and app drawer (with nova) but want the settings icons also to be round... any way to achieve this? thanks
any bright ideas?
With emui? I think there's a mod app for it, personally don't use emui launcher as I hate the pull down shortcut gesture.
Plus the having all apps on screen is not pretty..
You could also check out the additional themes app from the play store which has a lot more themes which affect the icons and may also have the ability to alter this too.
Theme manager

Theme editor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.themeeditor
Hope this helps.
Thanks, am on EMUI 9.1, I'm using Nova and have changed the homescreen and app drawer icons, but wanted to change the settings icons to, but with themes etc they only change the homescreen and app drawer icons.
They are supposed to be round in EMUI 10, so now you just need to wait 3-4 month until it's released...
Thanks

Oh the settings screen, I'm with you.
You can change colour with a lot of the themes but not the shape AFAIK
