Hi All
I have a Z1... with stock 4.3 .290
It is rooted...and have the GEL launcher (working with top and bottom transparency)
I have adjusted the desktop rows/columns
those look great... but I would like to do the following and any help would be appreciated.
Change the lockscreen to the stock Google 4.4 kitkat look (one with transparency all over)
Change the rows and columns in the app drawer to either 6x5 or 7x5 or 7x6 (just need to see what looks and works best for me
Change number of dock icons to add more than the spaced out 5 currently there.
Anything that is found perfect.. will be added to this page for everyone to use.
Thanks in advance.
The problem is your Launcher, I suggest to use Next Launcher 3D and you can do all what you want with rows and columns,colors, anything. Download themes and do changes but not sure about transparency but actually this can do Gravity Box.

Hello, I've been working on a Tron Legacy styled theme for my for for some time now. I am using Go Launcher Ex. I have most of it set as I'd like it, but I am working on one last thing for the time being. I am using Widgetlocker for my lock screen and would like to use Desktop Visualizer to add to it icon widgets in the following style: https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsIm14LmxwaWNvbnBhY2sudHJvbmxlZ2FjeSJd
Unfortunately, this icon pack does not seem to work with Desktop Visualizer and the icons that come with the Go Launcher version of these icons do not work with DVR either.
What I am asking is if anyone knows of an Icon pack in this visual style that would match this style/color? If not would anyone be willing to create an icon pack that matches this, that would work with DVR? I would be more than willing to even pay for an icon pack in this style that would work with DVR.
Thanks for any info provided.
I've been using MIUI for a while now - main reason being the icons are spaced out with correct size. With 5 rows and 4 columns their sizes look like iphone. But when i use the same 5x4 with other lauchers the icons and the labels are too small for me to read..Not sure why?
I'd love to use APEX or nova if i can get the same layout as miui - they're more flexible for icon change and app drawer etc..
Any ideas or tips?
Is there a way to change the homescreen layout to a 5x4 (or 6x4 if you include taskbar icons)? I think things look way too spaced out on this phone otherwise. I am coming from a Sensation with CyanogenMod and that phone could handle a 5x4/6x4 icon arrangement fairly easily.
Did you see/try this mod??
Is there any way to make transparent statusbar and navbar for nova launcher running on stock.569 ?
I've tried xposed with gravitybox, seems not working with 4.3.

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.

I want to ask the devs here or anyone who know, is there anyway that I can change the looks of notification panel ?
For ex: in HackeroneUi rom, there's a zips given to flash them to change the notification panel .. I love Samsung notification panel so much, and huawei .. so how can I make my panel like them as total ?
I tried Materia statusbar app but I didn't like it !

Lol that hackeroneui status bar zips only change the background of the quick settings and the header.
Changing the whole status bar means changing the systemui. Changing the systemui app means framework and ART compatibility.
Framework and ART compatibility is only possible if the ROM is different, or you mod the source and compile a ROM yourself (very extreme. Second method only for expert devs)
So in short :
No you can't. The max you can change is color, background, arrangement of tiles, number of tiles.
Workaround 1 :
Use los13 or a substratum-compatible rom.
You can find Samsung themes for cm13/los13 (by hdhr) on play store and they usually have font,sounds,status bar, icons,app themes, android framework theme.
Workaround 2:
Buy the phone with the UI that you like.
(That's it now. Don't make more threads or posts about changing such things. Be satisfied with what you need)
