Is a fullscreen homscreem possible?

I was curious if a fullscreen home screen is possible? Which still included everything on the notification bar. So instead of white or black like alot of themes out there it would be more of the background still including the icons and such.

home++ is fantastic but i think he wants an invisible notification bar with all the icons still there, right?
In which case, people have been trying for ages but i'm pretty sure it can't be done.

Yeah thats what I'm asking. I have a BB Storm 9530 and I was able to make my themes like what Im asking.

People tried to do it before but as soon as you add some transparentcy to the status bar it just shows black in the background. If you 're determined enough, you can colormatch your status bar to the backgound that you use and make it work that way although it sounds like too much work to me.
Good luck.

The main problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn only to the bottom of the status bar.
The second problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn by the Launcher itself rather than being drawn UNDER the launcher.

[WIP] White Notification Bar

Hello everyone, I am hoping some more developers will try to help out and keep this project alive. Hoping these issues might be figured out by someone.
Issues:
3G and 1X dormant icons are default HTC as well as USB
White clock text
Clear button is dark with black text
Some things worth noting. The stat_sys_data_usb.png icon and the stat_notify_sync_error.png icon are already in /system/framework/framework-res.apk but the weird problem is for some reason these icons are not showing up correctly, and instead they default to HTC. Other icons in framework-res and com.htc.resources are not doing this.
I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR.

There is a TON of info on editing task bars and other theme elements in the cdma hero section mater of fact a good deal of their stuff works with various eris roms. Some of the roms running over there are legend or eris based now we have ports based off the Sprint roms so theyre themes and various add ons working also (ive tried a few) as far as text and icons I believe it has to do with the .9pngs etc...give it a read and there are a ton of helpful heroc fellas. chubz, vince just to name a few.

Yeah I've been waiting for someone to come up with a fix for the clock font color, but it seems to be fairly difficult to find? Or perhaps other things are being worked on by the limited amount of devs we've got on the Eris.

you forgot me the guy who was trying to finish it, and posted it for all!:d

I'm a super noob at this, but I spent part of the day yesterday trying to fix my title bar with the icons I wanted in the Aloysis ROM. It seemed like the text color and icon image files were referenced by xml files? Have you tried looking there for fixes to your issues?
For the record there is a hero theme the Aloysis 4.1 ROM is based off of which may be configured close to what u want. I wanted to configure mine to look more like yours but I got frustrated and gave up.

A lot of this stuff is xml hex editing from what I've read. There's a ton of info in the cdma heroc forums. It's stickied there. Good info check it out.

COMPLETELY OT...

The clock is from the com.betterandroid.deskclock.apk from GrdLock's VanillaDroidv1.zip.

Yes, you could do any color.
Also, I've made quite the progress, this is where I am now. All I have left is the "Clear" button.

Awesome! Can we get an upload? And please tell me how you got the clock. Was it something in the services.jar/involve the odex file included or something more simple?

The last piece has now been figured out.
No more black "Clear" button.

And the CLEAR text isn't centered.

[Q] Lockscreen Wallpaper

Rooted phone running Stock (Sprint) rom.
I've resized many images for my lockscreen perfectly, but every time I set one, they get horribly decompressed.
Is there a workaround for this?
Attached is what I'm talking about.

Just making sure, is your image 320x455?
And in your screenshot, should we be looking at the artifacting in the background? Or something else? Because it looks like that's present in the whole image, in the lock bar and the notification bar too.. just a result of jpeg compression.

Yes, size 320x455.
I've attached the original for comparison. A lot of the red around the gun is distorted, instead of the smooth quality that it should be.
The problem is, or I think is, the phone compresses images no matter the size for lockscreen wallpapers. When I set the same image to my Home screen background, it appears perfectly fine.
So, would there be a workaround for the lockscreen wallpapers?

Anyone?
(Bump)

Not familiar with this but look for someone named impaler, he is into themeing and such. If he doesn't know he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Btw if you get it working can you send me a download for that, it looks good.

You might want to try an app called 'CropWallpaper'. I use it for my wallpaper, but you may be able to use it with your lockscreen. I'm on CM6 right now, so I can't check how it will work with sense, sorry.

I think you need to size it for the actual screen size of the Hero. On the home screens it is larger because it has to scroll through several other screens.

No worries, and thanks for the suggestion. Sadly it didn't work. But it's handy for normal wallpapers.

That didn't work out well either. The exact size of the screen is 320x480, 320x455 is when you take into account for the notification bar.
Sadly, there's no current fix for this ( that I've found ), if anyone else reading this thread comes up with something, please post.
Thanks to everyone who has commented thus far and to theimpaler747 for trying very hard to help. I really appreciate it guys.

Is there a way to change Vegan 5.1's status bar?

Does anyone know if there is a way to change/theme the appearance of the status bar in Vegan 5.1?
Using one of the launcher apps (LauncherPro, ADW) I can change lots of the UI's appearance, but I haven't found a way try different icons and colors in the status bar.
Is it possible?
Thanks to the devs for all of their excellent work!

check these guys here... So far, Awsome work!

Thanks it2steve! So if I am reading this correctly, there is not currently a (simple) way to swap icons without creating a new custom ROM using their status bar icons, correct?
That is, I don't see instructions for applying them.
Excellent work though!

There is a patch to change every thing to android green. Sorry but I don't rember what post I downloaded the patch from. Maybe someone else might remember and can share.

What about moving the icons?
Hi,
Is there a way to re-arrange the icons on the status bar?
I love having the back/menu/home buttons up there but, for me, they would work much better if they were all on the left.
I've been poking around in framework-res.apk but so far I can't find the config for this.
Thanks,
~ray
PS: I'm new to vegan and the gtab but not to android or linux (and I'm also an SE). So I expect I can figure this out with a little nudge in the right direction.

Install button savior from the market and you can place another set of onscreen buttons on either the left or right side of your screen and adjust the height

Thanks. That looks interesting but, at the moment, I'd rather change the status bar icons, if possible.

Agreed - I have Button Saviour for now but it's not ideal...
I'd much prefer to have the icons moved to the left side of the notification bar as it is in TnT Lite...
Perhaps now that Vegan build has access to VS source (for TnT config) and the collaboration with CyanogenMod 7 source, we'll see more tweaks in the next Beta (RC?)

Cyanogenmod 10.1 quick settings panel

Hello guys, I'm having a little problem with Cyanogenmod. Even though it's not an important one, it just bothers me.
I can't access thes quick setting panel from the notifications, because it disappears. Sometimes it just goes a little to the right. It's much clearer in the screenshots. Any tips? I've already wiped, an installed again 3 times. It doesn't happen with AOKP or any other rom, just cm. Help plz! Thank you

Seems it is shifted out of screen by "a. m." letters, switch to 24h clock to see if it's really the reason. You can also toggle between notification and panels by swiping left/right on the grey bar under your carrier name (the bar that turns blue when you drag and open notification area).

Hey you're right, it was that. I changed it to 24h clock and it works fine. But, isn't that a bug?

You can hit Thanks then
It's a very minor bug in XML file, you can write about this in ROM's thread so it's developer is aware of it.
Or decompile framework and try to fix it yourself, good start if you want to learn Android modding.
