[MOD]Transparent App Drawer for KK 4.4 - Shield Android Development

I don't like having a solid color for a background when I open my app drawer, and don't really care for any of the third party launchers, so I modified the stock launcher to be transparent. This was created using the stock kitkat launcher so make sure you're on kitkat before attempting to flash. You must be rooted or have CWM installed.

CWM Flashable
Reboot to CWM and flash away.
APK that can be flashed with a root file explorer
With a root file explorer copy Launcher2.apk to /system/priv-app, if it ask's about overwriting proceed with that. After it's been copied set the permission's to rw-, r--, r--. Reboot shield.
Just to be on the safe side before flashing/copying I would make a copy of the stock launcher that way if you want to revert you can. I would either copy the stock launcher to the download folder or copy it to the same folder and then add the file extension .bak, I will eventually be creating a version that includes the stock launcher as well. I hope you enjoy and thanks for downloading!

With the new transparent power menu design, it's a better fit than the original. Nice one

I managed to get it, but it takes like 5 minutes to load the "desktop?" and app drawer... I get stuck on a black screen for 2 minutes, then my wallpaper comes out for 3 minutes and then everything loads, only thing I can use is double tap the home button and drag down the top and mess with settings. Now I must make sure I don't restart my device...

Yes. At first I just kept getting boot loops, then I managed to boot into it and everything started working again, but as I said, long load times the first 5 minutes. I'll probably flash back stock and try all over again.

btw the lock screen arc is just darker so nothing too special there
just comment if anything needs fixing/adding
if someone wants this ported for 2.8 (modaco) i can do that too [theoretically it doesnt have to be ported, but do a nandroid backup for sure if you try this theme on 2.8 ]
enjoy!
ps, i cant take credit for about half the icons as i based this theme off of an older version of "default rosie with white status bar" theme, so big thanks to dying4004! (i have tried and failed to change the text color for the time)
update! links up!
just made the notification background a bit transparent, and made the pull down bar darker!
Nice work, I like the simplicity. I'll give it a try later
thanks! i havnt seen any icons that iv missed yet but if you do just post and il get to it!
now tested on modaco 3.0! didnt even have to be ported :s
first of all thanxs for this, I have a question regarding how to do u pack framework-res.apk ? i tried making some changes and after saving it in the apk, the size goes down and i go into a bootloop. anyhelp would be appreciated. thanxs.
Edit: strange thing is I just used winrar on windows for the first time, only replaced the png and it worked. I tried everything on mac to change the images in a zip and non of them worked. So i guess windows PC does have it usefulness after all. lol
haha normally it wont even start installing if you dont sign the whole update.zip...
someone made a nice prog to make it easy to do so iv been using it, but im surprised yours actually installed if you didnt sign it! :s
i just used ur framework-res.apk, wanted to try different flavor for battery notice, i just swapped the .png files and push'ed it through and reboot, no FC and bootloops, hehe. I didn't do mess with the whole recovery/update proces
oh right on, glad it worked! im thinkin about changing the battery icon too
Looks pretty slick, nice work
cheers man

New ZIO Theme

So I have been working on this one for a lil bit and decided to share my progress. I have used the Open Zio theme by Spz0 to help me along, I have made a lot of graphical changes and left everything else as it was, b/c lets be honest if it aint broke dont fix it. lol I will continue to work on this and try to do more with it, hopefully I will have a 2.0 release within the next month or so that will include a lot of cool surprises. Here are some screen shots and the boot animation. I have also included some wallpaper replacements in the update.zip folder. If you want to use them just push them to /data/Flex and overwrite the wallpaper and thumbnail folders. (make sure to back up the stock ones)

I had this happen as well and I dont know why. I took the wallpaper and thumbnail folders out of data/FLEX in the Theme zip and all went fine after words. I am looking into it. I just hate having to restore back to stock 2.2 and reloading everything. I will report back in a few days.
looks nice but didnt have the openzio numerical battery readout on top bar. any chance of getting that back?

So, is this a theme for the OpenZIO rom only, or can I use it on the stock rom as well?
I ask this because after installing it, my phone crashed. Everything and their mothers force closed. I tried deleting the wallpaper and thumbnail folders, but that did not help me at all.
Oh yes, if it matters, it's a Cricket, with the stock 2.2 OS (rooted).
(Also, I hate red, but I loved the intro screen, so I went through and changed it to blue instead, which, due to the Gimp's indexing, actually made the files ~4.2KB smaller, each - but since the theme crashes my phone, I haven't actually tried installing the blue version yet.)
Any theme can definitely NOT be applied to my OpenZio ROM, or a stock rom.
If the framework is pulled from a stock ROM, it will only work on a stock ROM. If it has been pulled from my OpenZio ROM, it'll only work on my ROM.
This may be something you wish to clarify in your initial post fate43.
List it as a theme for Stock ROMs or for OpenZio ROM.
need help
how do i apply this theme to my zio
can someone help me install this theme?
yeah that would be an excellent amount of help. is this a rom or a theme? if its a rom do we just install it like the openZio rom? or is there a special way of making it work?
You would flash this just the same as any other rom

No. The files do changes to the /system/ which requires a custom recovery to flash. So you can flash it without root but you'd already have a unlocked bootloader and custom recovery anyways.

Not working here. Tried the black. I'll try another one now.
I have just updated the orange lockscreen
I have flashed the orange one and now i have no lockscreen.. ??
Can you make a new zip with original lockscreen?
Tnx
Edit: also home button has stopped working? What is going on to my one??
Same. Lost lockscreen when flashing the black one. Also home screen button stopped working.
To fix, go to link below and DL and flash. I use twrp. No wipe needed so skip step 2 and 3. It will not delete any data. I flashed supersu again just in case. Everything was back to normal.

Hello yes black does not work at all home button no longer market and no code sim ask either.
Have you tested before put online?
Grey did not work for me either. As others stated: lost lock screen, no option for custom lock screen, home button stopped working, all widgets needed to be restored.
Glad I made a nandroid prior to flashing.

They worked on my Moto G but I got my one plus today so will try and fix tomorrow! Sorry
I looked inside the apk and found META-INF folder missing. Possibly why this isn't working?

So there is a conflict for odex and deodex ...

Hi thanks for your help, I have created an xposed module to change the colour but sadly it is only working on my Moto G and not my OnePlus, I wonder if this is to do with the odex deodex difference..
It could make one with this color?
Sweet! Thanks for sharing!

Is this something the theme manager can't handle?
So just to clarify, none of the files are working? Shame if that's the case because I'd love the grey, or even the black one.
Thanks for sharing regardless.
