Once, again, I am on a transparent widget kick. Here is the google search bar widget in a transparent theme.
Changelog: I have also themed a Black Google Search Widget with the browser symbol from Gingerbread. Download and pic below.
This is a system app, so you'll have to be rooted and have access to the system/app drawer via a file manager of your choice. I recommend removing the existing Google Search widget off your homescreen if you have one before replacing the .apk. I also recommend copying the stock, existing GoogleSearchBar.apk from your system/app drawer and keeping it on your sdcard in case something goes wrong, or you want the stock search bar back. After replacing the existing .apk with the themed one reboot your device and re-check your widget list.
as always, since this requires modifying your system/app drawer, I take no responsibility for you gorking your phone. If you don't know what your doing, take some time to ask, or read.
I also take no credit for the development of this .apk. All Credit goes to Google Development.

Sorry i dun think ur update.zip for transparent google search widget is working, i flashed using cwm, my original one is still there.
According to ClockworkmodRecovery, it won't accept the zip because it used a deprecated udate script. Simply installing the apk doesn't seem to work either.
has anyone been able to successfully install these? awesome widgets but the .apk file will not install and trying to install the zip via CWM tells me its not compatible with cwm 3.0.
easily got it to install. Reboot after uninstalling original and install just as any other apk via root explorer, however it was not transparent. Original white
Thanks, works perfectly. Simply backup stock google search apk (if you'd like) and remove it, unzip and place the apk you wish to install on usb storage, install and add widget to your home screen. At least that's what I did and have had no issues with it...
it didn't turn it black or transparent still the same stock white
Doesn't work for me either, just says "Application Not Installed."
you take requests? I am looking for one that I saw the widget was solid black with google and the microphone in ics blue ???

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.

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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8831176&postcount=187
when you move it to system/app/ overwrite the old file (the filename in the above post needs renaming)
added a new Genie Widget here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10933922&postcount=484
I themed Swype to be flat and black to better fit my aesthetic and making the metamorph available here. Note this is just a metamorph, not the app; you have to have the app already. Keep a backup version of your APK on hand in case this theme doesn't work.
The version I used for this metamorph was Swype_v2.4.44.10912_WVGA_English_ANDROID.apk. I think it should work across WVGA versions as long as they have the same layout.
Here's the instructions- 1. make sure you have the most recent MetaMorph from the market
2 with a file manager like root explorer go into /data/app and find com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk
3 long press on the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk and select move
4 navigate to /system/app and select paste
5 long press on it again and select rename, name it swype.apk (all lower case) then reboot phone
6 open up Metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme
7 navigate to the BlackSwype.zip and apply the theme
8 reboot again
note you have to reboot your phone 2 times during this process.
Enjoy.

It appears no one has tested this yet as I just have and you just get a black lockscreen.

Wow blank lockscreen meaning NO TEXT OR WIDGET AND NO CLOCK ON IT?
if thats the case let me know I will download this mod ASAP
---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------
Do you need to have de-odex rom for this??
I copied the file and changed the permissions and then hit reboot, but nothing changed..
Now deleted the odex part of this file from the folder and reboot..now i get a black screen with clock widget and screen lock icon which is vanilla rom style ... I have attached the screen shot below..
Also after doing this change, I do not get the lockscreen wallpaper option under personalization anymore...

Yes, I am working on this.
If you delete the odex file then it reverts to aosp lockscreen just like deleting the lockscreen apk.
The problem I have now is that the default image is a .jpg which does not support transparency.
I have fully decompiled the apk and am going through all the xml files to find where I can enable .png support.
I though I had found it in a hex colour string for the background colour and changed the first 2 numbers to 100%
i.e. 00000000 to FF000000 which should be 100% transparent but it do not work.
More work to do I think.
As some have asked, I can mod this to make more blinds on the lockscreen and and also to make the "twist" in the blinds a bit more pronounced. I can also hide the clock, camer and music icons for those that want it.
I am locking this thread until I sort out the issues.
If you can help me please pm me

Here we go, this is my first thread so take it easy on me...LoL
What we have here is modified MMS, Dialer, SystemUI, Contacts, and LatinIME apk's from @NoSpamDan 's Slim-skyrocket-4.4.4.build.5.95-UNOFFICIAL-20140621-1555 build to resemble the iOS 7 for the Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-I727 Skyrocket. I will do my best to keep up with the newest builds, may be kind of hard since he builds them so fast LoL...:good: If you decide to flash this build use these Slim Gapps and if you want to use the iOS 7 font then flash this HelveticaNeueLTCom.zip after flashing the ROM and Gapps. Then reboot and set up your Skyrocket the way you like it, apps and what not. Once you get all set up, then you download the modified apk's below and save them to a location in your phone where you can easily find and access them as you will need to get to them soon enough. I also suggest you backup your ROM and copy your MMS, Dialer, SystemUI, Contacts, and LatinIME apk's to a folder on your SD Card and rename them MMS.bak and so on. Now that you've downloaded the modified apk's and backed up your SlimKat 4.4.4 ROM and "stock" apk's, open up your favorite file explorer, I use Root Browser myself, but you can use ES File Explorer or any file explorer of your choice, go to the folder you saved the modified apk's in and copy the first one of your choice, (MMS, Dialer, Contacts, and SystemUI apk's are located in/system/priv-app and LatinIME.apk is located in /system/app) copy it, then go to the location mentioned above for the respected app, once there I delete the apk in the respected folder, paste the modified one in place and CHANGE PERMISSIONS TO 777!!! Now just reboot your skyrocket and the modded iOS 7 png's should take effect after reboot. Now just repeat everything until you have all five of the modified apk's in their respected folders and you should be good to go. :highfive:
I will go back through and check to make sure I haven't missed anything, after hours of staring at white icons on white background, it gets hard on the eyes...
Modified APK's Located in /system/priv-app:
Contacts.apk
Dialer.apk
MMS.apk
SystemUI
Modified APK Located in system/app
LatinIME.apk
If you want the signal icons to the left and the iOS 7 Battery icon you need to have the Xposed Installer by @rovo89 and @Tungstwenty and the older version of iOS 7 X Module by @ibocharov installed as well, which I suggest doing to get the full feel of the iOS 7.

No, yesterday i've installed the google keyboard but was the v3 i guess, i had to install it from recovery so i already deleted the google keyboard, i cant figure out what block this installation
maybe u still have the old library installed. check inside /system/lib for the old libjni_latinimegoogle.so...
or check system/app if you still have latinime.apk inside
Nope there's nothing like this...does exist a zip file of this keyboard for the recovery install?
