[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!
Buck

gimme a minute, i can throw one together for ya real quick.

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.

K, what I figured. But I get the same related error message.
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)

Yup. Included in Mobzter's Enigma Theme
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

can we change it without using the theme?

If you don't want to install the whole theme and you're not using an app to create shortcuts then you can modify ic_launcher_smsmms.png in mms.apk
I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but I don't know what it is so I've just modified the icons I want by changing them directly in the .apk's

How do i edit Apk's?

Pull them from your phone with ADB and open them with a program like WinRar, and edit the images with a program like PhotoShop.

If your using ADW you can just add a custom shortcut, there are also other apps that will do this.
If you do want to get into modifying the apks to change/theme your apps here is a quick start. There is loads more information scattered throughout the forum but I couldn't find a complete guide (if someone knows where one is please let me know).
The easiest way to start is to use the one click root method (you need root to modify the apk's) and then download one of Chewitts Dark10 themes.
In the installer cmd file for the theme you can see examples of all the commands you'll need to do this (specifically in the app installation section).
Pull the apk to you're hard drive
Open the apk in 7zip and extract the images you want to change
Edit the images (in photoshop or a similar program)
Update the apk by dragging the images into the correct folder in 7zip
push the apk to your sd card and finally to the system/app folder
you'll need to make sure usb debugging is enabled and the SD card is not mounted.
Let me know if you need any more info.
@XperiaX10User: Looks like you were quicker (and a bit more to the point)

Use ninjamorph.
Save the png on your SD and use ninjamorph to replace it.
Easiest solution imho.

Yep, forgot about ninjamorph, much easier (just don't be an idiot like me and attempt to update the framework - it's still the only time I've had to reflash my phone...)

Extracted the png from Enigma and used an ADW shortcut
Cheers guys

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.

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

I do not find the option to put shortcuts on the lock screen

Settings - Locksreen - settings (the 2nd button) - shortcuts -> you can not only turn it on or off but also tap on the "shortcuts" and place that three shortcuts on the locksreen..if it is not in your options, than i don´t know.

S8 Weather Widget and Google Search Bar for other launchers (7.0 or less is OK!)

* Method 1: Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxHsF8XiBo3Qa3lOd2MtVWROajg/view?usp=sharing
- Step 1: Install Zooper Widget Pro.
- Step 2: Create an empty widget at homescreen to initialize the folders in memory.
- Step 3: Copy .zw files to ZooperWidget/Templates folder.
- Step 4: Select the created widget and select the widget you just copied. Enjoy!
#Tips: Touch the weather image will be easier than touch the "mini" refresh icon to update the weather.
#Note: The S8 Weather iconset was taken from official weather apk file of Galaxy S8 by @jimking, and was redesigned, supplemented by me. If you use it for other purposes, please consult me.
* Method 2: Download X Widget from Google Play, download Widget from gallery and enjoy! There are only 2 widgets: clock and weather, no Google search bar. Thanks @jimking
