[REQUEST] [WIDGET] Transparent News and Weather Widget?

I searched through this forum and didn't find anything so here ya go!
Is there a morph or something similar that will change the stock black background of the default News and Weather widget and make that black background transparent? I only ever use the weather part if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Okay, pardon the complete noobness on my part, but how do I install/apply this? The only modifying I've ever done is straight through Metamorph...

its a metamorph theme...just extract the folder inside the zip to the androidthemes folder then apply it..

Thanks for the theme, but I was unable to install it. It said metamorph could not , because a file was missing.

Thanks for hooking this up though!

I'm feeling kinda dumb here. This is my first time using metamorph.
I removed the nested folder and rezipped, but still get that same error.
The folder structure is as so:
TransparentGenie.zip
|
geniewidget (folder)
.nomedia (file)
TrebsparentGenie.thm
Inside geniewidget folder there is:
res/drawable-hdpi/(bunch of pngs)
I press the unzip/extract new theme and select the zip and it still gives me the same error. Am I missing something?

this is easier, modded apk (froyo)

when you move it to system/app/ overwrite the old file (the filename in the above post needs renaming)

[THEME] [APP] Myns Warm 2.2 Music Visualization Live Wallpaper

well i modded this hollow live wallpaper when android 2.2 first came out.. its the one live wallpaper i use constantly.. made it to match up with myns rom, but this will work for all roms i beleive.. they must be 2.2 tho... just take the zip and flash it thru clockwork or any recovery.. also can be flashed thru rom manager.. i tried to capture some drocaps but the quallity of the caps sucked.. if anyone gets a good screen of either version that be awesome..
My favorite one.. HOLLOW
Solid version for people that prefer it.. SOLID
this has to be seen in person on the device as the caps look like crap...

Could'nt for the life of me find a 2.2 version, friend at work found this post!
We were failing at recompiling an apk from his phone (nexus S to Epic)..
Is there a line in one of the waveform.rs files that controls the color? -can I add more lines then 2 at once editing wafeform.rs? Hollow is best.
-Promega

yeah, i'm not exactly sure.. to switch the coloring you just use a photo editing app. and recolor the png images it uses, they are in the apk.. try extracting the apk you will see.. i am searching for a 2.3.4 flash zip so i can get this installed on miui,,

@dyetheskin: get the exact color code. and i could set you up..but.. i need a flashable zip for gingerbread or clockwork 3.0.0.8 or whatever to finish the apk and make it flash.. this zip in OP is for older clockwork..

how to modify icons inside the apks of apps?

You need to decompile the apk's with apk manager (need adb installed) then, in the decompiled apk, open it and go to /system/res/drawable-hdpi (or mdpi, if it's that), and look for the icon in there.

Easier way....copy those apps whose icons you want to change to your hard drive. change extensions from .apk to .zip and then go the /system/res/drawable-hdpi as mentioned above.

Is Vista still alive
Don't know, but you could use APK Multi Tool, System APK doesn't need to be signed but other do
Nice job BTW

very nice screens
how did you change the battery icon in the notification bar???

Thank you, very easily. Just go to uot.dakra.lt/ and follow the guide (HOW TO).
Basically you have to: chose the mod you like (not all of them works though - I've succeeded with battery, icons:emoticons and status bar (but not power buttons), popup, fonts (but not windows animations) and upload your: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, twframework-res.apk.* Kitchen will do everything for you. GO to PICKUP to receive your zip and flash it with cwm.
*You can get them with root explorer or via adb:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

thanks

Help with SMS application

I made a change in application SMS GO to stay with the appearance of the original application of the xperia. I edited the file using EDIT APK, but when trying to install the phone in an error, even using recovery.
NOTE: already edited several apk, but this is not the only one that installs.
If any developer can guide me would be grateful.
Attached is the edited and original apk.
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/?9ccgyzhkhgcwct9

I'm sure that there a right way to modify 3rd part app,but since the moment that I don't know too much, I can only suggest you to convert go sms in a system app (you can do that with titanium backup pro or maybe with some other app...try to google it) and then if you only need to change .png images you can just replace them into the apk file without extracting it and then push the app into system and reboot!! If you need to modify .xml files,you can use apk manager to decompile,compile and sign the apk!! if you try to modify a 3rd part app it will not work (I don't know the technical reason),so converting it in a system app is a solution to this problem!! But maybe you can wait to hear other opinion from anyone else with better knowledge than me!! hope it helps you!!

Which method do you used to mod your apk ?

I used the program "edit apk" it decompresses and subscribes automatically.
The only job I had was to change the images *. png and rename
It worked for all other applications except the sms go

You change .9.png or just .png? For editing the first ones you should use a patch, search in the general Android Themes thread.
For editing and compiling system apps you should use apkmanager instead of editapk (wich I don't know)...
If ya need further advice mail or PM me.
And sorry for my bad english!

Something strange happened!
Developers, tried all the above methods to install the modified application, but all without success.
I used modified ROM "vmmcs" 2.3.7
Unintentionally I had to reinstall the original rom Xperia 2.3.3.
Before installing custom ROM again. I tried to use the apk HE RAN NORMALLY.
CONCLUSION: SOME APPS MUST HAVE A MEANS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE ANDROID HAVE ROOT, SO IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE INSTALLATION

Hello, if u have the SMS apk, why dun u try to unzip/unpack the apk contents, replace the PNG icons in Res/drawable-hdpi inside sMS apps, and rezip/repackaged using Formatter? I try to edit my Custom xperia Home.apk icons and it worked!! Here the guide thread for formatter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108798
Sometimes, u might need to recheck path of files directories which as same as previous file Hope this helps.

Folder of "Navigation Bar" icons ? (png?) -nameless ROM-

Hi,
Id like to know the location (folders) and filenames of the "Navigation Bar" icons (KitKat)
I know there are other solutions around, but Id like to change them manually (if possible)
-I was looking for SystemUI.apk in system/app already, but it is not there... ?
-system/framework has "framework-res.apk" which has various designs of the NavBar icons, but not those that are actually getting displayed
-The app "SoftKeyZ Root" changes "com.android.systemui" which should be a jar file ?
I got a Optimus 3D (p920) with nameless ROM (4.4.4) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772543
I read that it is ROM dependent if you can change it from within the NavBar menu
and nameless ROM does not seem to offer it.
Thats why I ask if I could find them (change them) in the folders/apks (if these exist).
So far I found this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz
it says "not working on most samsung and LG phones" but it worked
Still, if anybody knows how to change it manually, I would appreciate it !
I can see the tool "SoftKeyZ Root" changes "com.android.systemui" (jar file ?)
and I found flashable zips for the Nexus device, to change "Navigation Bar" icons.
And I stumbled across this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t1413582
So as I could not find the files, I tried "SoftKeyZ Root" on my Optimus 3D using nameless 4.4.4.
And it worked !
This is how it looks (and works!) when using "SoftKeyZ Root" :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have seen that the app uses "com.android.systemui", but that should be a java (jar) file then ?
Any help in finding the origin of the fitting png graphics is appreciated ! ^^

*oops Edit*

You've nearly got the right answer already.
Those icons are in SystemUI.apk, that's right. But, for KitKat, Google moved that file from system/app to system/priv-app.
Have a look at my theming tool, Tickle My Android (tinyurl.com/ticklemyandroid). It has a variety of navbar icons to choose from and can change them for you.

While your tool indeed looks very powerufll and very(!) interesting, (I might even give it a try)
I usually love to unpack APKs (if I found them) and exchange files.
Anyway, big thanks for the answer and your tool ! =)
