Hello I wanted to know how I can remove two things on the STOCK ROM of the thunderbolt, no custom stuff.
1. I want to remove the background for the text on the name of apps in the homescreen like for example. ANGRY BIRDS. Behind it is an opaque black background, can I remove it with a mod?
2. Remove the recent apps in notification bar WITHOUT a custom rom, possible?
Thanks!

Stock Rom not rooted, Nope.
For the icons, check out desktop visualizer. Might be able to do what you want. It's in market.

Stock clear taskbar by Rujelus on first page. If you are themed this will revert lockscreen, notification window etc
--
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can make a flashable clear/100% transparent taskbar and clear/100% transparent sense bottom bar launcher.
Ideally, the bottom bar launcher would be something like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=385691&d=1282488980
in burst's plurstaralpha theme, which is transparent but with visible interactive buttons
The taskbar would be similar to riptide's current
http://www.johnwishon.com/themes/riptide9.png
In similar threads i've seen at least half a dozen people ask for these things, so i wouldn't be alone in using these.
Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I've been wanting JUST a clear taskbar for a while now. I don't want 4 million changes in a theme package, it's always one or two things I want. Wish they'd do a lot more splitting up of the mods so you can pick and choose what all you want.
I really want the clear bottom bar launcher. And the 3d app drawer.
What would it take to get all the devs together to create a Theme Kitchen?
Or maybe just the top 5 devs or something. Because there are some really nice themes out there, and like jlechner says, the ability to pick and choose parts out of themes would be really nice.

Going to try something, my method won't be flashable but it might work...
Kitchen definitely would be nice though.

you can get that stuff using launcher pro. but you want to keep the htc sense also right?
pretty sure konikub made one, as I have flashed it. I dont know if I have the zip but im pretty sure if you searched konikubs posts you will find what you are looking for. Here is his 2.2 theme post, not sure if its in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746689
EDIT: I have something called DC-FRESH_AloysiusClearTaskbar-signed, search the forum for it if that is what you are looking for
Here you go, this is completely stock except the two things that you wanted. As far as making a kitchen, I have no clue on that.
RUJELUS22_Clear.zip
How do I remove this? I flashed it and it looks horrible. It's messed up when I swype down to see my notifications. I'm using Fresh 3.1.0.1

Reapply whatever previous theme you had to replace the framework-res package that made these changes i think.
It looks good, and I do appreciate the work you put into this Rujelus, thank you
unfortunately, since I had manup's theming, it reverted my clear lockscreen, clear notification bar, clear calendar widget back to stock and left black bordering around some of the smooth revolution battery, signal etc icons.
I thought framework theming was seperate lines that were added/removed but looks like its more complicated than i thought : /

Like I said this is completely default except the 2 edits. These edits are just pictures inside framework-res and com.htc.resources there is no way that I know of to add something like this to the theme you already using unless you do the edits to the files that you are using right now. When you do an update.zip it will replace the whole file not just the edited parts.
Oh : (
Thank you for your efforts

Has anyone found a zip that works to remove the sense lockscreen on 3.70 yet? Also curious about the no clock mod as whenever I try to flash the old one the phone just goes into a boot loop. Also a clear taskbar would be nice. I use LP and I hate having that black taskbar at the top and hiding the taskbar is annoying when I need to pull down the curtain.
Calkulin is usually the man for making the flashable zips to remove Sense, though I dont think he has made one yet for 3.70. I am sure that he and many others know how, they just havent done it yet to my knowledge. There are plenty of roms out right now with the AOSP lockscreen on 3.70 though. Virus is one of them and his newest rom is AWESOME!! Check out all of Virus' newest stuff here http://infectedrom.com/forum/forum.php
Calks remove HTC lockscreen can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271
another option is to locate htclockscreen.apk and rename it .bak thats the method i chose and works perfect on burnt droid. all of calks options on that page are 3.70 based. also the slate theme adds some cool features like power notification drop down, and battery percentage can be found here

hope this helps man

I've searched this forum for the last week on and off since going with RR213/#4 and loving it. I'd like to tweak it a bit to my taste though.
I can't seem to find add on or theme that will work other than in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827081
I've tried so many themes, circle batterys, status icons and none have worked with RR because Lou is a little ahead of his time with the way he breaks out the different elements of this rom.
Hopefully if there are other add ons that work with RR 213 the links can all be posted in this thread.
I'm a dev and didn't dig too deep, but it appears all the mods out there need to be "paired down" for compatibility with Lou's Redemtion roms.
If anyone else has any add ons or themes working please post thread here so we can have a single location to find anyting that is working with Redemtion roms.
Thanks.
I agree the inc /evolution hybrid is a bit different than regular oem sense roms. But its the best running sense rom I've used bar none with #4 kernel. I have a metamorph mod for the entire notification bar pm me if your interested in using it.

What are you trting to accomplish? With the help of many of the developers, I have been able to make flashable rosie mod remaps. There are numberous battery immages that you can use if you replace the images in the Framework and resources apk's. It is easy enough to make a flashable zip of those things.
I have attached some screen shots of changes I have made. On the stock Rosie, I made it semi transparent and used JsChiSurf's remaps to create different rt button combos (I have adjusted the images). Different Icon sets in the notification bar as well as different battery mods. There is also an image of the Carbon Expresso version rosie.
But will we lose the 4x5 app drawer? And the transparency? That's what the op was asking I think, for mods specific to RR2.1.3....
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Mine is the 5x5 with transparency. I also have the version that says "all apps" instead of redemption. I can make it 4x5 as well. I just need to remeber what the file was.
Everything in my screen shots are done in RR 2.1.3.
Cool I have some metamorphs...maybe we should start a RR mod thread.

Thanks that worked with Slayer Black Bar.
ADDON_V12_3_70_Only_BlackTB_SlayersTransitions causing fc on all apps and rebooting. Doing restore.
.
Trying ADDON_R9V8_BlueGlassTB_signed_wTra.zip next.
Force close after boot up on everything, looks nice though, gonna have to recover again.
Am I missing something, is there some other framework that is required besides stock rr2.13?

You have custom zips? How about sharing, your screen shots look good or is that the whole theme you used?

Dude your flashing slayers framework when you flash his taskbar mod unless he used metamorph. Also you can't flash any service or framework jar or you will lose the taskbar power mod. You can change any image you want with 7zip.

In this thread ill show you how to make that notification bar transparent.
1. take the png's ive attached to this post and place them on your SD card in the folder entitled "android themes"
take note of these file names.
2.open ninjamorph select new project
navigate through: system/framework/framework-res.apk. it will then extract all the files.
then navigate through res/drawable-hdpi.
scroll down to "status_bar_background.png" click it and change it out with the "status_bar_background.png" you placed on your SD card that has the exact same file name....then continue to replace the other 6 png's the same way.
If one of the existing png's in your framework does not match the one Ive provided (for example the existing file on your phone ends in " .9 " ) then rename it to match...not all themes are exactly the same.
3. when your done replacing all 7 png's press the blue back button in ninjamorph, select finish project, select the one that says "framework-resapk"
then just keep clicking "yes" ("yes/yes/ok/yes") then ninjamorph will tell you "ALL DONE!" and your phone will automatically reboot.
this will work fine with "launcher 2" and will most likley work with whatever default launcher that came with whatever ROM you mught be using. BUT...
...!!! when using this mod with ADW launcher, launcher pro
or any home replacement app you will need to use a live wallpaper (I use "shake em all" and then just set my own wallpaper) if you want the notification bar to stay transparent. the pulldown will allways be transparent though. (you can also use a live wallpaper called "multiple wallpapers" )
screenshots
Do you have to root? Stock launchers work? Very nice work.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
it does look good.
Will this work with gummyjar 2.5?
Root is required to run ninjamorph. This will work on any ROM. Be sure to put pngs in Android Theme folder (imperative). Works best with stock launchers.
update: tried my LWP again and this time it worked. will update after a few re-boots if it changes back to black, but otherwise it worked this time.
been trying to get this to work but the best I can get is my lock screen to work, but when I unlock to any other home screen or if I go to my app drawer, just a black status bar.
I am running Apex 1.3.1, and additionally have changed out my status bar icons. so not sure if that has anything to do with it, does anyone have any thought on that?
thanks for any thoughts/responses.
g
ps. a lot of my .png's in framwork-res.apk are 9.png's if that matters, and to get to at least where I am (running and clear status bar in lock screen only) I have replaced those with the new ones. When I finish the project in ninja and reboot, it force closes once, I pull the battery and it reboots. Like I say, after that I reboot after the fc and it loads without an error, but does not give me a full transparent status bar.
thanks again for looking and any help.

I was able to navigate to the folder irregardless of location. Metamorph forces you to use Android Theme folder.
I was able to get this to work but as stated in op you must have a lwp for it to work. I thought this would be acceptable but can't find a lwp that doesn't suck battery, and look decent. I purchased the light grid pro and am ok with it. Shakem up wouldnt display my wallpapers right.
Is there no way to get it to work with a static wallpaper? And in the browser its white. Though it could be transparent and white behind it.
Edit: the browser notification bar is white. Where to change? Is possible?

UPDATED.....
some people brought to my attention that, on other themes, some of the png's end in " .9 " so if you run in to a png on your existing framework that does not match the one ive attched to the OP just rename it to match (usually you will just need to add/remove " .9 ")
so i updated the attached files and added a read me to both zips.
Enjoy!

I'm aware of the "grayish white" when in certain apps....to tell you the truth I havent even tried to fix it. sounds like a good thing to try out right now.
shake em all loads my wallpapers just fine.....hmmm,,,you can try "multiple wallpapers"...and see if you like that..i was thinking about making my own live wallpaper that is just blank as can be and doesnt use up memory/battery..and you bet ill post it up in here if i can ever get that accomplished.

you need to rename the png's i provided to match your " .9 " png's..
if you didnt do this im willing to bet thats why ninjamorph force closed and your having issues....try renaming them and going back through to replace.
btw i updated the attached files in the OP.
there are now 2 versions and i added more png's
if you cant remember wich ones were " .9 " then.....
go into...sdcard/android themes/backup/ and youll see a backup of your framework, you can load this backup and start over if necessary.
This will only work on stock launcher and launcher2 with static wallpaper. It seems others have had success using Zeam launcher as well.
I have launcher pro. I've tried both live wallpapers...no success.
How do I change the notifications text to white? I am using a black/glass status bar background and the text isn't readable (black on black)
Hey,
But can you back up it with out the back up of the rom?
I meant if i want to reverse it - can i reverse only what i have done and not to restore the whole ROM?
so ive attempted to do this exactly as your instructions show something like 6 times... nothing is working for me except the transparent drop down menu. also, ive noticed in my /drawable-hdpi folder, i dont have a status_bar_close_on.png to replace your image with in the first place. im running 2.3.3 and im not running a downloaded rom or anything ( i think?) im still using stock everything as far as theming goes.
help!?!??!?!
I reluctantly upgraded to android 10 and the basic Black theme I was using is now showing up with White notifications instead of black.
Is there a quick and simple way to modify an existing theme. I suspect not, but figured I would ask.
You could use,#hex or synergy to make a custom theme.
Alternatively if you wait until tomorrow, Goodlock and its apps are supposed to be OneUI2 compatible (3 Feb) Quickstar is the app that mods quick settings and notifications. Works on non root.
Thanks I've heard of hex installer but never used it. The other 2 I've never heard of. Will any of them allow you to edit an existing app or are you starting from scratch on all 3?
Thanks
I just installed hex installer, was not anything exciting. I was able to change the notification color but my default sms app had undesired affects. Hex installer alone will probably not cut it.
Will look at the other 2.
Im using synergy and substratum lite, with mainly liv dark and a few other themes where liv dosent have an overlay .
My current notifications are set to the overall background and i used an overlay to remove notification separation bar.
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to request to samsung to see if i can get their development tool for theming. Likely won't get far but worth a try
