How to remove black bubble around app icon names ? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Here is a pic of my home screen, nothing too different than stock, I like to keep it clean and simple. But would like to know how to get transparent app icons names, without the black border ? Right now they have the black bubble under each app, is there a way to not have that black border, and just the white icon name only ?

[Off topic] What rom is this? (4G icon looks pretty good)
[On Topic] If your using ADW Launcher (That's what it looks like to me), there is an option to turn off the background borders. Not sure, i think its under user interface.

Download Desktop Visualizer free in the market. Use it to place your icons on the desktop and you can do with or without the background, with white text or black. You set each icon up and a widget.

What Launcher is this? Thank you!

This may vary depending on your launcher but for mine ADWLauncher goto ADW Settings > UI Settings > Icons > New Icon Settings > Icon Label Color. Bringing it all the way to the left makes it transparent I believe.

its the standard sense launcher (rosie), myn just replaced some of the images so it looks 10 times better

you can't remove it with sense. you have to install adw or launcher pro.

You have to hex edit the resources.arsc in Rosie.apk.

Any chance you can share the line(s) that need to be hex edited and what they would need to be changed to? Visual desktop was a no go for me. Thank you. I'm on virus' my touch 4G rom and hate the charcoal translucent backrounds behind all the apps.

I am not sure anybody cares anymore, but I posted a reply on page 3 of JS's mod showing the changes in the code. I got rid of the bubbles just by changing
res\values\colors.xml
line 4 from <color name="bubble_dark_background">#b2191919</color>
to <color name="bubble_dark_background">#00191919</color>
It seems to be working fine on my stock ninjawolf's 4.53 ROM with a few other mods that I threw in. I'd show a screenshot, but it's my boring desktop minus the bubbles, and you can imagine.

ok here is one last one...kinda a joke
this is to shut up all the sprint guys about their 4g (although it really isn't available anywhere worthwhile anyways)
However, I do feel sorry for all the sprint guys. Sprint has had the WORST phone selection from day one. They didn't have any bluetooth capable phones until 2004, even Cricket had them covered until the evo came out.
Welcome to 2010 sprint!
(note. not really 4g, just replaced the 3g .pngs)

looks good, maybe make the clock background square?
^ +1 on the square clock background suggestion. Well, maybe more like rectangular. But it looks really good! Flashed it already. =)
That background is awesome...can you share?

if you want it more square than that let me know
whats the power control widget you are using
hmm totally square would be great
and is it possible to change the black to the real desire status bar black?
because when i install it it's only black, not the colors like on the desire where the color is a little bit changing?
like at this status bar for android 2.1?

has someone the original status bar just to have a chance to revert this?
edit: looks nice.. the downside is only that i can not read any status messages now (new mail.. sms preview text)..
Is there a way to remove the clock completely? i have a big widget for this so i do not need the clock there..?

Launcher Pro removes the entire notification bar for you if you like. When you press Menu it brings it down for you to see your messages or time 3g status etc. Pretty neat.

you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6043123
but i'm pretty sure you need the source...
This topic is great and now I can use froyo. The clock was the only thing we can't change until we get source code. How again do we change the notification icon colorsin froyo?
This is a very nice trade off to use in the mean time.
ogdobber, thank you so much for this, i can now enjoy froyo as my full time ROM!

[Icons] !UPDATED! Albook Icons (657 total) Dark Icons + 5 custom

**UPDATED** 7/7/10 - 5 custom icons, screen-shot updated.
So I got tired of not having certain icons, and went ahead and made 5 custom icons.
Now, I'm no artist but I rigged a blank icon in PhotoShop to match the style.
added the following 5 icons.
PTT (push to talk) using for TiKL

}
SMS obvious
t Twitter obvious
Phone Icon using for google voice
XDA obvious (obviously this is a daily app, and i always have it on the front home screen)
I'm keeping the above custom separate than the original package. As I did not create the rest.
I take no credit for the original set. And have no intentions to.
These icons were not generated for android, there are some icons that do not fit for android os, and some missing.
I took the following http://stopdreaming.deviantart.com/art/Albook-extended-dark-811-icons-117250259 icons and converted from .ico to .png 64x64 to work with the evo icons.

Clock?
Just wondering....how did you get Godzson's clock to work on Fresh? Have tried multiple times and for some reason I just cannot manage it. Love the look you have going and am trying to reproduce it. Also what launcher is that? I installed the Minimalistic theme (looks great) but I prefer yours. Thanks for the help (and the icons--fantastic!)

Hey is there a Tutorial on how to use these Icons? i been searching all over and No Dice
I use folder organizer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Actually I was kinda wondering how to use them myself lol. I tried using FolderOrganizer like you suggested fdot and I was able to succesfully change the icon through the app itself but how do you get it to show that same icon in the app drawer or on the homescreen? For example, in FolderOrganizer i changed the TiKL icon to the custom ptt icon that you made but in the app drawer and home screen it still shows the default one. Would really appreciate some help! Thanks in advance
Yes would be awesome if someone could post a tutorial on how to install these
Long click home screen, choose add wiget, choose folderorganizer item, choose the app.
Wont change the app drawer that I know of. But thats not a feature I would use anyway.

[THEME][MOD] Typophone 4 lock screen replica (Oct25 added alt. ver.)

Alt. version here
Some useless intro:
I found this iPhone 4 lock screen theme on deviantart: Typophone 4
and I think it looks really nice. There has been lots of requests for the clock and Semicuda made an awesome widget for it, called TypoClock.
The widget is a little too small for my taste, and doesn't really replicate the original design. So I did some searches and modifications and came up with this.
Screenshot:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
HOW-TO:
You will need Widget Locker. Find it on Market.
I took vsxed's modified TypoClock and made some tweaks to make it play nicer with Arial font. I also used frostman89's PNG's for Widget Locker and changed the font to Arial.
1. Download slider_iphone.png and slider_iphone_background.png from the attachments
2. Pull the widget locker apk from your phone, replace the two png's in /res/drawable-hdpi, and push it back (details here)
3. Download typoclock_arial.apk and install
4. Activate Widget Locker, use iPhone slider, maximum background tint, and hide notification bar
5. Remove all widgets and add TypoClock widget
6. Done
This is specifically made for Arial as the system font. Expect weirdness if your ROM uses anything else.
Made for WVGA devices only.
SWEEEETTTT!!!!!! im using your modified version of the "clock" it is a little weird looking when i was using the comforta font, and the droid sans....but it looks pretty cool still! thank you for making the clock!
Thanks alot. Been looking for this.

Thanks for this, but when i install the edited typoclock is it going to overwrite the other one?
I want to use both, yours on my widgetlocker screen, and the oroginal on my homescreen

Yes it will, unfortunately.
Which version of the clock is this based on? latest is 0.4 and has lots of fixes not included in the last "big" version posted in the original thread
versions are old.. i found a slightly different version here

Lol sorry the question was directed at the OP, I want the cut off look but as you can see, our font doesn't align the same way the arial does.
i just tired to download widgetlocker from the market and it wouldn't download. I really want this lockscreen

/res/layout/typoclock_widget.xml, or the other two depending on your setting
kinda off-topic but i don't wanna start a new thread for this but,
is there anyway to NOT be able to pulldown the notification bar while the screen is locked using widget locker? it kinda defeats the purpose of a lockscreen if you can still access the phone lol

i downloaded this but it doesn't look the same as his does from the ss he posted.
how do i get Helvetica Neue font on mine like he did :O?
All the version in here are .21, which is an old one that has the RAM bug. Need one from .35 or higher (prefer .4 if possible).
lets just wait for the OP
damn everything was all good, as soon as i rebooted my phone my widgetlocker dissappered, what happened?

Thanks alot guys, this was such a pain, and im finding some problems now that ihtfp69 warned me about. each app has its own thing, like in phone if you like go to delete a contact the list shows up white on white. any help to fix this would be great as im learning as i go!
No more worries lads, tis been fixed!! V2 is downloading now and will be ready in a few minutes!!
does this theme remove the toggles in the drop down menu? I tried flashing the blue theme and it took them all away. so i had to flash back. Toggles are more important than the color to me. Thanks for this SR3.5 is great.
Do I have to wipe any data before flashing?

beyond believe, to get it to theme right. there is only one clash right now that I can't seem to figure out and hoping someone can help
I followed the steps in this thread, but it didn't seem to work with Sense. Is this anywhere close to what you did? You might be able to PM thebowers if you are stuck or some of the other guys on this thread.
OK so I flashed this theme and the battery icon was completely missing. There was none at all, just a gap where it used to be. I have no luck with these themes. Loved the color scheme tho, what did i do wrong?
Same here....battery was missing. Used mm to get my white circle battery back though and now I'm happy
....also found that in launcherpro, long press on homescreen has a list that is black text in black background (like the wallpaper bug).
Not a big deal, I like the theme
Did a nandroid, but is there any other way to easily revert to stock?
crap sorry guys its cos i use the stock 0/20/40/60/80/100% battery mod I forgot that most use the 1-100%. its a simple edit in an xml file I will fix tomrorow. now im trying to fix that pesky black on black text and updating all the images to a be more white
NP ACD thanks for all the work on SR3.5. Glad to see we have support for it. I'll check back tomorrow for the fix.

your answer is in the first post, the text will be black until I get a stable cm7 Rom, the patch to make the letters white breaks the battery animation. it has nothing to do with the theme xml.
