I was looking at the new Samsung Galaxy S (codename Vibrant) and it has a few pretty nice feature what are kinda basic and easily portable for an expert modder (I'm not that kind in Android).
So I have to ask, is it possible to have these features on our beloved G1?
Features:
- Night stand mode (clock screen with some nice info, lowered backlight)
- Control panel on the status screen (the stuff you roll down with the top bar). In Galaxy S firmware, there is a nice control panel (widget-like) what contains buttons to switch BT, Wlan, vibration and mute on/off
- The new TouchWiz Launcher (I think I already found the apk and odex files for that)
- Some widgets (got them all)
- The live wallpapers (found them too)
So my question is still the same: is it possible to get the first two (or all) options installed on our G1?

FYI, Zeam Launcher offers a somewhat similar design.

It may, but my goal is to get all the stuff from Galaxy S, and not from 3rd party apps I hope you understand me!
Hi all. Continuing my year of good luck, my house was mostly destroyed during flood following Hurricane Irene at the end of August. The good news is that I have always wanted to own waterfront property, but the bad news is that I have been a vagabond for the last month with 2 little kids and a very pregnant wife, so I have been WAY to crazy to think about smartphones, hence the lack of updates, communication, progress on the ROM.
Now, there is a silver lining - I am a music producer, and my main recording and post-production facility was completely destroyed by the same flood, so I will have a lot of time on my hands to make ROMs over the next few months while I rebuild my business. I am also settled into a temporary place with internet, so should be good to go. I have two Inc 1 ROMs 85-90% done: "Pure" Magnolia which is completely based on the most recent OTA GB update and incorporates some useful features without going to far out, and "Dirty" Magnolia, which is my port of the Inc 2 ROM I am also working on over in that forum. THis ROM has sense 2.1 plus a smattering of 3.0 features and, so far, is quite nice IMHO. I cannot tell for sure when I will be able to release these, but I will start new threads for each, so be on the lookout.
Finally, I want to say thanks for all of the support and understanding I have received throughout my rocky 2011, and it is my sincere hope that I can be the progressive, dependable developer that I hope I was before I got glaucoma back in April.
Anyway, the ROMs will be out when they're ready, and I look forward to sharing the with you.
I attach some photos of my home and studio for your viewing pleasure, and, yes, that's yours truly looking at the debris....

Changelog
B]Final 1.3.2[/B]
Battery fix from last version is now built into the ROM by default;
All Extras other than App Extras and Status Bar Icon hide/show zips have been stripped from the ROM itself and will be in post #3 as downloads;
[*}Added JSChiSurf's PowerWidgetControl app that allows a great deal of customization of the power control widgets (e.g., what the sound/vibrate button does, brightness increments, etc.);
Updated AppFolders to latest (1.5) version and themed it;
Both AppFolders and NoAppFolders Versions of Rosie mods have a 5-column app drawer by default now (4 colums will be available in post #3 shortly);
Updated Flashplayer to 10.2, with hulu patch that (usually) flashes when you flash the ROM (If it doesn't work, flash "Hulu_Patch.apk" in the Magnolia FOlder under App_Extras");
Updated Gmail, Maps, RomManager, Busybox Installer, Voice Search, Google Search and more.
Have refined what init.d scripts the ROM runs and the task killer tweak built into the kernel to achieve the best balance (IMHO) between performance and battery life;
Fixed some graphical issues in Rosie and Rosie remaps that were bothering me;
A LOT more that I can't remember right now...
B]Final 1.3.1[/B]
Fixed issue where flashing ROM deletes apps that are installed to SD card (e.g., Aldiko, Angry Birds);
Updated Flashplayer to most recent version (10.1.106.16);
Removed Hulu from data/app/ and made it an optional install in the Magnolia/App_Extras/ folder. Flashing Hulu.zip will give you working hulu with the most recent flash, plus it works with Adfree Android and survives reboots (at least it did for me and several others). The only drawback is that flash will not show up as an installed app in Market (whether or not you install Hulu);
Fixed FC issue with Adobe Reader;
Updated Gmail, Maps, RomManager, etc.
Cleaned up my updater-script and found some duplicates and other issues, so install should be smoother and performance better overall.
Got frustrated and tired, but I think it was worth it...
Final 1.3
Added Lockscreen Mod;
Replaced busybox version from last release and fixed/improved its interactions with the init.d scripts to make the ROM smoother and faster;
Aded hosts file that blocks ads and still allows hulu to work (I hope...);
Fixed some graphical issues in Rosie that were bugging me;
SLOWED DOWN (yeah, that's right) some animations to make the ROM feel smoother;
Updated Maps, Gmail and other apps;
Minor graphical and performance tweaks;
A lot more that is incredibly boring, but really makes the ROM work better
Final 1.2
Updated all amend scripts to edify standard so the ROM and add-ons flash with new clockwork recovery 3.x versions (and to stop being a fossil!);
Put in place functionality that will allow future versions to know which apps have been uninstalled and not to reinstall them;
Added init.d script functionality and several scripts that will clean up permissions on first boot, zipalign on every reboot, speed up SDCard read and generally make things run smoother and faster;
Fixed naf_rom_default_icons" rosie mod;
Fixed issue where camera wouldn't save videos as mp4s;
Fixed issue where android clock used when Vanilla Lockscreen option is implemented shows gibberish instead of date and mapped music key in same to HTC music, not the stock Android one;
Added option for 5-columns in both AppFolders and stock app drawer;
Added Conservative Color Notification Icons option;
Compressed some additional elements of the framework to make things faster (tell me what you think);
more animation tweaks (still stock, though );
Updated all apps (fingers crossed);
Minor graphical tweaks (including some new wallpapers);
More I am sure I forgot...
Final 1.1.1
Reverted back to latest stock HTC kernel;
Added Gscript Lite and seveal scipts to remove sense or uninstall unwanted system apps;
Final 1.1
24 custom Rosie right button mappings in the default icon flavor, with color and gingerbread flavors coming soon;
Fixed issue with kernel that caused sluggish behavior at times;
Got rid of ad blocking, as it was just too disruptive to browsing and any other avtivity that used the web (if you need ad blocking, just download "AdFree Android" from the market, it's free!);
Added Hulu and patched flash;
Added DSP Sound Manager;
Removed VZW BackUpServices from /data/app/, as it did not function well there, and put a flashable zip for this program in the "Magnolia" folder so users can flash to /system/app/ if they want to;
Included Gingerbread Icon Rosie in Magnolia folder;
Minor graphical and performance tweaks;
More I am sure I forgot...
Final 1.0
Fixed Gingerbread Keyboard & symbol
Fixed Voice Search
Added more options in "Magnolia" folder, including Vanilla Lockscreen option;
Made appdrawer (both AppFolders and Stock) semi-transparent;
Fixed MMS sometimes FCs;
Fixed camera shutter sound;
many graphical fixes/improvements;
Updated all apps (including Flash);
Updated to Ziggy's latest BFS build;
A lot more I can't remember;
RC3
Reengineered (see above) most APKs for smaller RAM footprint;
Added uncapped data mod;
Added ad-blocking host file;
Fixed Flickr sharing issue;
Added custom rosie launcher icons;
Switched to show clock & alarm as default;
Switched back to Ziggy's kernel, as I really really like them...
Updated various apps;
Probably lots more I forgot...
RC2
Customized FriendStream, Twitter and News Widgets to fit better with overall look of ROM;
Added Gingerbread keyboard;
Fixed problem with notification bar widgets where indicator lights didn't match state of toggle;
Fixed mismatched app drawer arrow animation when using standard app drawer;
Messed with the animations a bit more for smoother performance;
Updated NoAppFolders.zip in Magnolia folder to remap app drawer key and uninstall AppFolders;
Updated status bar icon show/hide .zips in magnolia folder to include the power widget fix noted above;
Moved some apps (VVM, Talk) back to /system/app/, as they weren't showing up properly for some users;
Updated all apps
Probably lots more, but it's late and my brain is fried...
Add-ons and Extras
First, I would like to note that user Devildog8791 has made some incredible themes and mods for this ROM, including colored menus, colored notification icons, dialer and full themes. They can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981760
Now for my stuff...
Using Gscript to Remove Apps or Desensitize
When you flash Magnolia and application called GScript Lite will be installed to your device while a folder called "gscript" will be pushed to your sdcard. This will allow you to uninstall apps that are cooked into /system/ (i.e., ordinarily not installable) and to remove sense altogether for use with ADW or another alternative launcher. To use, open GScript Lite, hit menu-->Add Script-->Load File, and choose your script. Please be careful, as this can really make you mad when you run the wrong script . The Desensitize script will remove all HTC widgets, but not HTC apps, and install ADW Launcher.
Built-In Extras
When you flash Magnolia, a file called "Magnolia" is pushed to your sdcard. Within this folder are two subfolders: App_Extras and Statusbar_Extras. The App_Extras folders contains the following optional apps: EVO camera (same as regular camera, but with shutter button on-screen), WirelessRouter (Verizon's wireless tether app), wireless_tether (the free version of wireless tether), VZW Backup Assistant, and a patch for users who are experiencing problems with Hulu. All of these may be flashed as normal (backup first) except wireless_tether.apk, which you need to open using Astro or similar program.
Vanilla Lockscreens with Gestures
The following zip files will remove the standard HTC lockscreen that comes with the ROM and install JsChiSurf's Vanilla Lockscreens with Gestures Mod. Flashing this mod will give you the Vanilla 2-tab android lockscreen plus an application called "LockScreenSettings" with which you can create a 4-tab lockscreen with phone and messaging tabs, a rotary lockscreen and add gestures which allow you to open apps/activities while your phone is locked via gestures on the locked screen. Please see here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919121
Screenshots:
Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/App_Extras/Lockscreens.zip
Circle Batteries
Flashing these will give you a circle battery instead of the stock battery. There are two versions, a blue and a green:
Download Blue: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Circle_Battery_Blue.zip
Download Green: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Circle_Battery_Green.zip
Colored Notification/Statusbar Icons
This will change your default white statusbar and notifications icons into colored icons. THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DEVILDOG'S MAGNOLIA THEMES/MODS, but is a stand-alone mod.
Install: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Color_Notifications_Only.zip
Uninstall: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Statusbar_Extras/Remove_Color_Notifications_Only.zip
Stock Rosie Icons and Order
Flashing this will give you stock Rosie icons and ordering (apps, phone, browser):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22769554/Rosie_Extras/reg_stock_rosie_icons.zip
Custom Rosie Right Button Remaps
As the title says, these will allow you to "map" the right button of you homescreen to an app other than browser (the ROM default). These also will allow users to (1) choose to use either Icons that go with the default ROM look and feel or color icons that add a bit more color to the ROM, (2) use the stock app drawer that comes with Sense, rather than the AppFolders program that comes with the ROM and (3) use a 4-column app drawer (AppFolders or Stock) rather than the ROM-default 5columns.
Here are screen shots of devices with the right button mapped to camera using the ROM default icons (L) and with the right button mapped to HTC Mail using the colored icons (M) and the stock app drawer open (R):
To use, choose and download one of the following large zip files, unzip the contents, then choose your preferred remap.zip in either AppFolders or No AppFolders flavors. Copy to your sdcard and flash as usual (backup first!!).

Been waiting patiently all day for this post to drop, Lovin SK rom cant wait to flash Magnolia.
Thanks for this Rom SK806 it definitely does look more refined/professional.
Looking forward to new right mapping buttons too!
Keep up the good work!

I loaded it about a half hour ago, and so far so good. I really like the look of the drop down widgets.
This is the fastest ROM I've used to date and it also fixed my constant 3G connection drop, which is awesome! Thank you very much for making such an awesome ROM.
Here is my feedback:
1) Google Talk is missing (had to find APK's to reinstall)
2) HTC built-in Visual Voicemail is missing (maybe provide an APK installer for people that use it?)
3) App Folders launcher is somewhat annoying and very slow. If possible for you to do, I would recommend removing App Folders and just utilize the stock All Apps option while keeping your transparency and modified Browser shortcut for the launcher.
4) A working Gingerbread keyboard is now available (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202) so that would be cool if you can include that as the default keyboard.
That's all I've noticed so far. I'll update as I use it more.
I agree on all counts. I use ADW, so the app folder thing isnt that big of a deal though.

Thanks for the input! I was thinking of making a non-appsfolders version. I guess I will now
I thought I had put VVM & Talk into /data/apps, but I guess not. Will fix that ASAP.

great rom, is there any chance you can theme the htc widgets though to match the rom. Doesn't have to be fully transparent, maybe semi would loook good.

Do you mean the list/item backgrounds? The buttons/headers/footers are already skinned...
Please let me know, and, if that's what you mean, I can take a stab at it!

Hey Steve,
I think the non-appsfolders version would be awesome. When I press MENU button and select All Apps, it is instant. With the Apps Folders app, it always says Loading for 1-2 seconds. I know, I know it's kind of ridiculous to whine about those seconds but another issue is that the Apps Folders app actually hides a few of my applications which is very weird. I don't know if anyone else has experienced that.
In regards to the VVM and Talk, I looked at the data/app folder and they are there but I'm not sure why they are not installed. Or maybe the Apps Folders app is the culprit?
If you need me to test your RC-Beta ROMS, let me know and I will happily do so because I love this ROM; so fast! And the fact my 3G signal is displaying accurately, that just makes me
Thanks Steve and anything I can you help with, let me know. I've never wanted to be this involved with any other ROM than this one or I wouldn't make such an effort...

Great ROM. Is there a changelog for this? Anything different from v.3?
is this rom using the dinc framework or evo's?

To answer your second question, yes...I didn't post a changelog because it was a new thread, but I probably should have. I will get one together sometime in the next day or so. I am in korea visiting family and it's the holidays, so I am a bit preoccupied. Plan for an update and changelog soon, though!
Hi, is it possible to flash buil.prop through CWM ? The idea is I would like to play with the DPI, but I know some values can mess up the system so that the ROM doesn't boot anymore. So the idea is to have a safe and working build.prop as flashable through VWM so that I can experiment without the threat of having to reinstall the whole ROM.
Is that doable ? and would it be sufficient to boot again on a ROM if I put a bad value as DPI ?
Thanks
I may be wrong, but afair one of the DPI apps available on Market, had an option whether to reapply the change on boot
if I'm correct, then you could test the density without risk
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I didn't find the app (searched for "DPI" and "density") but one of the app had a description saying you can restore build.pro through adb...so i'll look in that direction.
LCD density will allow you to test a dpi before applying it. Its on play store.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well, it almost works. I'm on (TW based) Criskelo's v8, changed the DPI to 213, first with LCD density and then with ROM toolbox. I thought it would just boot loop, but
- except for touchwiz, launchers (Go, zeam, adw, apex (small area usuable on desktop though, but maybe it's supposed to work that way)) are ok,
- the s-apps I want work ok : camera, FM radio (I tried S-memo just for the sake of it, it has that well known lines problem)
- s-calendar was replaced by AOSP calendar and it works fine..though I don't see any difference with phone version...maybe because it was not "correctly" installed ?
- gmail, settings, kindle, chrome work as expected in tablet mode. Kindle had to get an update to work in tablet mode, before that it showed the regular phone version.
Now what doesn't work :
- I got that "UI.syst stopped" on every boot (don't care much about it)
- s-contacts doesn't work ! unfortunately I couldn't find a working AOSP contacts.apk, maybe that would work
- s-phone works so that's more important than s-contacts, but the layout is messed up, and you can't use contacts inside the app of course. Unfortunately I don't know of a AOSP dialer for TW roms,
- most annoying negative point to me : status bar doesn't show ! that may be the deal breaker for me.
I went to TW roms because I was tired of little things that didn't work in AOSP based roms, so if I can't find solutions for at least s-contacts and status bar, that's it for me I won't go any further in my quest of TW + tablet mode apps.

Now what doesn't work :
- I got that "UI.syst stopped" on every boot (don't care much about it)
- s-contacts doesn't work ! unfortunately I couldn't find a working AOSP contacts.apk, maybe that would work

For the dialler, can you set one handed operation in settings (possibly under accessibility) that usually brings it back under operational state. Not sure about a fix for tw contacts though. There are alternative contacts and dialler apps in play store if you search dialler.
Use an alternative launcher for status bar? Recommend adw or launcher7 if you like windows phone layout, both work well. Adw probably more suitable for tablet dpi.

Unfortunately I tried an alternative dialer from the market, it displayed contacts correctly but FC'd as soon as I clicked on a contact, so I think it relies somehow on the TW contact app or framework. As for the status bar, it's never displayed whatever launcher I tried (Go, adw,zeam, apex,launcher pro), so I guess it's part of the framework and not of the launcher.
Welcome.
I have a question for you.
Well, I have your P7310 stock ics and I have a little problem.
Well, on the desktop and drawer status bar just lags - lack of liquidity.
Complete declines animation.
In any other application running smoothly just a launcher lag.
Do you also have such problems.
Is there any possibility of swapping statusbar from another rom eg AOSP CM10.1?
The easiest thing to try would be a different launcher. I like Holo HD, but there are other good ones too. You can try replacing the SystemUI.apk, but you need to replace two libraries as well. AAccount posted them in one of his threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38088583&postcount=1135
You will need root access, and a root browser type app, and this may make your system unstable, so I would recommend installing a custom recovery and making a nandroid backup first.
Of course I have tried other launcher.
Only in Nova Launcher it a little better:
Desktop - the status bar work really bad
Drawer - the status bar work perfetct
Only issue with desktop :/
Tried to replace the files that are above?
This helped to something.
And one more thing.
What is the exact path of the files.
All I know is that you must put the SystemUI.apk to system / app
And the rest of the files do not know where to move.
I would ask for a little help.
I have a custom recovery, backup made so I am calm.
Now, the question is not about.
I was happy to at CM10.1 RC2 but unfortunately it seems STOCK ICS is faster as can be seen in games.
Is throwing another kernel to be something CM10.1 helped performance in games, etc.
Sorry for bad english
You could try to change animation speed in developers options, and/or you could try Addem1234's CM9-ROM (with AA's 1.8.7-kernel).
I believe they go in system/framework.
I have had no problems with lag with CM10.1 and it's default kernel, even in games. I just had to use extended desktop to hide the nav bar and set the status bar to autohide. In addition, I overclocked and made various memory tweaks, as well as installed crossbreeder. Finally, I don't use the persistent search bar, but I add the widget separately to all of my screens. Each of these things may have helped a little or not at all, but all together, they give me a system with which I am very happy.
I used all these same settings on cm9, and I see little to no difference.
Addem1234 cm-9 is faster than CM10.1 C-o-M ?

Last time I tried: Yes.

I think they are pretty comparable when I get them set up properly. CM9 is starting from a faster place, I will grant that. In a fully optimized configuration, I am hard pressed to see a significant difference.

Hello! I've been going around XDA looking for everything I can get to get as close as possible to Samsung's One UI, the new design language to be released alongside the Android Pie update. As most Samsung users may know the beta for Android Pie and One UI has been released for the Galaxy S9 and S9+, but not for any of the 8 models. Because of this I went on a search to skin my UI to the point that it might as well be One UI. (Aside from all the apps, unfortunately.)
I'm going to make a list including links to everything I've used to get to this point.
Before we get started, to install most of these leak apps, you'll need App Cloner, which is unavailable in the Play Store, so I've provided a download for the App Cloner I have. After installing this, we can get to the interesting stuff.
A reminder that all of this requires NO ROOT.

Here's the App Cloner link.
Mod Edit: Link removed
First off, we've got the most obvious (and easiest) one. Samsung Experience Home 10. This one just requires an app cloner install, fortunately though, XDA has already done that for us right here https://www-xda--developers-com.cdn....com/download-samsung-experience-10-launcher/
A big thanks to them for getting the cloning process over with. After downloading the apk file they've provided simply install it, clear the cache/data and set it as the default launcher. You should end up with something like the screenshots. I recommend the Home Screen Grid to be set to 4x6, and the App Screen Grid to whatever you like. I kept it large to have less pages to go through when searching for apps. I set the grid to 4x6 to further match the render from the One UI apps section on the samsung website.

Clear the cache and data and then set it as default.

Is there anyway to import your Home Screen setup from the old Samsung Experience?
Now we have the clock tweaks. This one will require substratum, so if you'd rather not dive into that stuff then feel free to skip this one. Substratum is free but Andromeda is paid so I've included my Andromeda apk.
The first one we'll want is called clock tweaks by @AL_IRAQI. Head over to this page to download it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-center-left-clock-o-t3614824/
You'll want to select and install Left Clock under clock placement in System UI. This will give us the clock on the top left in the status bar, rather than the top right. The next tweak we'll need is called System Mods by Draco. In addition to what we'll be using this tweak offers various other changes, so I suggest you check some of those other ones out. You can get that here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=substratum.draco.systemmods You'll want to install Remove Status Clock AM PM under System UI to remove the AM/PM next to the time. This one is purely optional, but it matches better the One UI render.
A trick I learned from another member named @dj_iiml is to uninstall all tweaks before rebooting as instructed, and then reinstalling them. Reboot after this and the overlays will stay even after a reboot. I also got the clock tweaks info from his thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/note-8-one-ui-look-how-to-t3867346

Unfortunately, I don't think so. Simply because the system doesn't see them as the same apps. I'll look into it and see what I can do.
Let's move on now to Pie system apps. Email, Calculator, Notes, Samsung Browser, Samsung Health and weather are the only ones I've gotten to work besides the launcher. Email, Calculator, Notes, Samsung Health, and the browser can all be installed from apkmirror, but the weather app needs to be downloaded from a ported dump and cloned. https://mega.nz/#F!j5pGSa4Z!wmDI6Ozacrq4yNBl4WlNgQ This is a link to the entire dump, if you want to experiment with other apps, otherwise https://mega.nz/#F!j5pGSa4Z!wmDI6Ozacrq4yNBl4WlNgQ!2th2TALZ is a link to the Weather app only. Just press open in browser to access them. Once you've downloaded the weather app, clone it in App Cloner, install it, and then manually allow all the permissions via settings, you CAN'T allow permissions through the app itself. You can then add a widget to the home screen. It will be the second weather option, because you'll have 2 weather apps. Credits to @corsicanu for the ported files, their original post is here https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...sung-pie-leaked-apps-ported-to-t3856098/page1
Finally we'll apply all the Good Lock 2018 changes. First you'll need Good Lock 2018 from Galaxy Apps. Once you have it downloaded there are 2 apps you'll need to download from inside the app. TaskChanger & LockStar.
First we'll use LockStar to edit the lockscreen. Pick any background you like, and any layout you like, because we'll be changing the layout in a bit. Once you have everything you want, including the clock, you'll want to tap Edit at the top right and arrange the clock and notification bubble like the screenshot below. After you've done this select the plus icon at the bottom right/left of the lock screen and pick what apps you want to be accessible from the lockscreen. Once you've done all this, go ahead and save & apply the lockscreen.
Now we'll move to TaskChanger. Switch it to 'In Use' and then select the scroll effect. I chose linear, but you can pick whichever one you like. Now switch 'Blur Background Effect' on. Now you're all set. You've finally gotten as close to Pie as possible before it's official release. If anyone has any suggestions for other apps or changes to make it even closer to One UI then write it in a reply. In my next post I'll write more optional, less important features that don't get you too much closer to One UI. Thanks for reading this thread and I hope all went well,
Cheers,

LESS IMPORTANT TWEAKS
ClockFace - Good Lock 2018
Clockface provides a few more options for the clocks on the Always On Display and lockscreen. None of them are the stock One UI clocks, but you might find them a little more similar to the One UI clocks.
One Handed Operation + - Galaxy Apps
One handed operation + provides gesture navigation, a feature that will be in One UI. The only problem? The bars are on the sides. This is the only reason I've included this in less important tweaks. In One UI the bars will be on the bottom of the screen, replacing the Navigation Bar.
Battery Percentage - Settings
In setting you can turn off the battery percentage under Display > Status Bar in Settings. It gives a cleaner Status Bar look, but it isn't required.
Search Bar - Google
Make sure you have the latest beta for the Google App installed, then go to the more tab in the app and select 'Customize Widget' select the color palette and then select the Black G on top of white. Then go back and select what looks to be a multi-colored water droplet, and then move the slider all the way to the left or to See Through. This will give your Google Search Bar on the home screen a more One UI look, but it isn't needed to sell the look.
