Most likely, since kitkat does NOT come with transparent settings menu, you'll need to modify the apk that contains the menu settings. It i very difficult to do so without possibly messing something up and having a nonfunctional ROM. My advice would be to try and see if any ROMs have this prebaked into them or, worst case, search on how it was done. Most likely, if custom ROM open source, they will have their code tree source posted on their site where you may be able to pull the code from, modify to the nexus 5 sources necessary to run on this ROM, and then try it out.
Try Mahdi ROM, see if thats what you're looking for.

you mean like this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mix3d.theme.hologlass.beta
You will need a ROM where you can change theme, you can do that in cyanogenmod as example.

If you are not using a CUSTOM Rom that is cooked in the kitchen, then please make sure you have checked the original settings>Location & security>Set unlock pattern and then connect the dots. This option is not normally changed even on custom roms (at least not the ones found on this site!)
Thanks but I wasn't looking for this "dot" lockscreen (which I know) but for the original Android lockscreen that was removed by Samsung.
This original Android lockscreen is with 2 buttons :
- The left one that unlocks the screen when you slide it to the right
- The right one that mutes the phone when you slide it to the left
even i want the same thing. Touchwiz is not good. No luck at all. I am using kyriloss' rom. Someone help!

I recently bricked my I9000 after trying to install the Android lockscreen made for XWJS3 ROM on my XWJS5 ROM...
So I won't risk to face the same trouble and rather look for an Android lockscreen made for I5801BVJP9...

Curious...
You can't brick your phone by replacing android.policy.odex
Your phone could be stuck at boot animation...
if it's the case and if you're not reboot, you can use ADB to push your android.policy.odex you have backuped.
if not, you've just to reflash your phone.
I could unbrick my I9000 by reflashing the ROM but I don't want to do the same on my father's I5801 ;-) that's why I'm looking for the right file...

I HAVE created a custom theme in UOT Kitchen (including modifying the lockscreen icons) now I want the original green round icons back... i've been searching everywhere with no luck. Is this possible without an app?
Can I modify a file, download an .APK, etc?
While I'm on the subject... can I change the background to just a flat black?
Is there any way that we can get that android lock work on different stock ROMS?????
I want it too for my DDJP6 ROM....

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Theme (Request?)

Hi I am looking to build a Samsung Galaxy S rom for the X10 and I really can't find a theme exactly like the Galaxy S for the X10. Can someone please show me where it is if there is one.
I really need everything like the Galaxy S:
Status bar, menus, settings menu, phone, contacts, sms and other apps
Please all help is appreciated.
I am not a themer, if someone can theme it, I can definately reward you for it.
Thanks a lot!

I don't get it why do you request when you are building/porting a rom? To my understanding rom consists of the sense system apps. Sms e.t.c its not that easy to port but framework settings e.t.c should be done easily because its just. Pngs and xmls. If no one reply to you maybe i could help you with framework
No I am not porting. It is based on a 2.3 rom. I have the framework from a galaxy theme and when I build the framework-res.apk the rom does not boot.
I made sure all the folders were the same and everything.
Another thing I have to figure out is galaxy s livewallpapers not working with the rom. If I install the apks after the rom has booted it use any other rom, they work.
Thanks a lot for your input. I appreciate it.

[APP][MOD] (not so) Faster (and buggy) TouchWiz Launcher [XXLE4]

I saw a lot of comments about how slow the new TouchWiz launcher is, so, because I had already downloaded the ROM, I want to try something.
I'm not using this ROM, so I don't know if it works, let me know.
This is the new launcher, don't be fooled by its name, that's how Samsung named it.
It should be uglier than the unmodded one, but it should be as ugly as the one from Gingerbread, unless Samsung used more transparencies and fancy shades this time (transparent widget should be affected by this change too). Here the explanation.
_______________
Downloads in the next post.
Note:
If you are not familiar with adb, I suggest you to install an alternative launcher first, then copy /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk somewhere safe, for example in your SD card. In this way, if something goes wrong, you can always start the second launcher and restore TouchWiz30Launcher.apk with a file manager.
At least until someone tries the two zips to restore the unmodded launcher.
No launcher, no way to launch apps

Downloads [apk + flashable files]
There are 4 flashable zips, two of them restore the original TouchWiz launcher.
Read the name of the file, fasterTouchwiz-odexed.zip obviously is for odexed, fasterTouchwiz-deodexed.zip for deodexed.

(the only one I'm sure it will work is fasterTouchwiz-odexed-restore.zip)

Well I just flashed the deodexed file, and apply with CW and working EXCELENT!!! Good job my friend!!!.
I have the Clean Rom by Luiseteyo V3.1.... So now I have 2 lanchers!!!!.....
Thks very much!!!!
Edit: Its no smooth as the holo launcher but work very very fast....
I tried on xxkpq. But force closes.
I really don't know how this new TouchWiz launcher is, anyway, I explain what I did in this mod.
(I wanted to know first if this really changes something)
Basically this new TouchWiz launcher uses 32bit transparency, or at least that's what I can see decompiling it:
Code:
<bool name="config_force32BitWindowAlways">true</bool>
What I did was to put that boolean value to false.
32bit transparency makes everything better too look, but it also slow down the UI. Without it, you should see some bands in trasparent backgrounds, it's the little price to pay to have a smoother interface. (In Gingerbread the default setting is 16bit, so you should see these bands)
@vishal
I think there are too many differences. Samsung apps use their own framework (twframework-res.apk) and probably this launcher needs the new framework. I don't think you can simply replace it with the new one. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know anything of this ROM.
Anyway, if you want to see how much this little change can do, you can enable 32bit transparency in GO launcher (it's somewhere in the settings, I can't remember exactly where, maybe it's called "high quality drawing". It's not the same thing, because they are two different launchers).
@machotecba
Thanks for trying this. I'm glad to hear that it works.
TouchWiz30Launcher? Wasn't it TouchWiz4? Will test right now. Thanks for ur work
I tried this in and there seems to be a lot of performance increase.... As always, your mods are simply incredible...

I don't think I'll do it now, maybe in the future. I did this one simply because it was fast and easy to apply.
If you want to try again, here I posted the links of some tutorials.
Anyway I think that sooner or later these mods will be ported to this ROM and if I'm not wrong, someone had already ported something, I can't remember where are the links, maybe in XXLE4 thread.
Hey losnosc!! I am using the tested 'n' worked version, but i have a little issue: when press home, the screen goes black during a 500 msecs and then goes desktop. It's normal??

Tested, but not by me
I think that the problem is that there's a transition application->desktop that does a large use of transparencies and because of the 16bit what should be semi-transparent is solid.
It's just a guess, I flashed this ROM for 5 minutes just to fix the WIFI, I didn't even try this mod.
If that's the problem, I could change this behaviour.
So let's try something (this one too is a guess, I don't know if it works or if I changed the correct thing): fasterTouchwiz-experiment-deodexed.zip
(flash the old zip in case of problems)

EDIT: Samsung could have at least changed this
Code:
const-string v0, "GT-I9000"
with Cm9 there in no reason to use samsung roms!

[Q] [Request] Modified NavBar DPI for Stock Lollipop 5.1

Hi all,
I've been searching for two days a way to reduce NavBar's DPI in Lollipop 5.1 Stock rom because they look too big to me. Since different people are looking for it (from what I've read), I would ask if someone that is able in this sector could kindly make a flashable zip for everyone (I really don't know how to... maybe with a guide I could try by myself).
Thanks in advance.
If you can't get that, get SoftKeyZ. Has keys of smaller size.

I've modified the navbar to 20dpi on stock 5.1 and using it without any issues.
You need to do change some variable values in framework-res and SystemUI apks as well as resizing the navbar icons.
Attaching a screenshot here to give you an idea about how it looks. Let me know if you need the flashable zips.

Follow this link. It will give you a generic idea about how to resize the navbar. This tutorial is for kitkat, but the steps are more or less same. You need the latest apktool jar file and java 7 installed in your system.
Since lollipop some core things are changed most probably because of selinux and security stuff, so you need to use the manifest and meta inf files from the original apk otherwise device will boot loop.
Also you need to downsize the softkey icons in the System-UI apk, else it'll look ugly after resizing.
Finally if you lowered the dpi of your device, then resizing the navbar will increase the gap between the softkeys, some people will like that, but I prefer the keys to be as close as possible so that thumb's reach can be minimal. let me know if you want that mod too. Good luck.
Thanks man, but it looks too difficult to me... I don't know anything about decompiling, java, etc...
By the way thank you very much for spending your time answering my questions.
I'll stay on Chroma until GB is compatible with 5.1.

I was using Chroma ever since it was available for N5, but came back to stock because google maps was FC'ing continuously. Downloaded the latest chroma just yesterday night and still thinking of trying that once again to see how maps behave this time. Regarding navbar, typing the 'how to do' is much longer than modding the apk

I add myself to the discussion because on the web you can't find anything. For KitKat were available some zip file to flash via custom recovery on rooted device compatible with the stock ROM, but for Lollipop anything yet! 40 dpi would be perfect
