[Q] Homescreen looks the same after official KitKat update - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
have been updating to the new KitKat via flashing (cause i had root before and the update failed when trying OTA). I was using the following tutorial:
[new users cant post links]
Everything worked out fine, except that my homescreen looks the same as JellyBean. No transparent status bar, no new icons and w/e.
When i check under phone info, it says 4.4.2 is properly installed, also i have all the new settings stuff etc. Resetting my phone didnt help...
So, how do i get the usual KK style?
I'd really appreciate every help, so thanks in advance!

the ota is motorola's themed kitkat. if you want the transparent bars and different icons, you're going to have to install a different launcher.

well okay, thats kinda surprising as it was often stated that there would be "[...]transparent status and nav bars, and white status bar icons[...]"?!

Sorry I may have misunderstood, I know that the transparent status bars did not come in the ota, but as far as I was aware the status bar icons should all be white. I thought you were talking about stock icons such as dialer, camera, etc.

The stock Moto launcher retains the black notification bar and button area although the status icons should be white. If you want the transparent bars, Nova Launcher works great. If you go to the google play store and look for the Google Now launcher (the one used on Nexus devices) it will tell you that it's not compatible with your phone.
However you can use this site http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and just paste in the play store link for the G Now launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher and the site will give you a link to download the apk. You can then sideload the apk and it works fine.

I all depends on the size of the icons. You can use xhdpi icons, but they'll be to big for the status bar. I haven't found away to adjust the icons in the xml's as of yet, still looking. That bugs me as well especially the "3G". All in all unless you have ICS the icons will continue to look this way.

Yeah, thats the problem. Let me know if u've found a way to do so. Or just share the full status bar layout for me to giv it a try on my r800i.
Edit; Just wondering, would it make any diff if we mod the status bar background/land a bit longer or wider??
Awesome theme. Finally our dear X is getting some love. Nice job.

No, i dont think so. You have to consider that each icon has a designated space mandated in the XML's or smali about 38x38 or so. You want to find that line and change it to read something like 38x20 or what ever you want. It would read something like <FrameLayout android:layout_width="20.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip". I've tried changing "status_bar_icon.xml" to no avail.

Hmm, I can't seem to get this to work right. I'm using the R800x locked bootloader, 2.3.3. I have the file on my sdcard and renamed it update.zip. Through the CWM recovery, I flash the zip file. It runs and finishes rather quickly. When it reboots, I get stuck in a bootloop. Am I missing something or doing something wrong that might be causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You don't need to rename it , just choose "install zip from sdcard" option. Sorry, I dont know why your bootlooping
EDIT: i just downloaded the theme from the link and it installed just fine.
Are you downloading from your phone?
If so please download from a pc, and try again

None that I'm aware of , all the apk's in the theme are stock, just modified. I pull them from the 2.3.3 system dump. I have to admit that this is a bit baffling to me.

This ICS theme worked fine.

Yours looked like it may have corrected the minor visual problems this one had. I'll give a shot at re-installing this one and putting yours on top to see if that works. I'll let you know.
EDIT: Ok, the old ICS theme still works.
Out of curiosity, I checked out what the difference between the two themes were. What are the apks in the app folder within your zip?
EDIT2: Worked! You were right. I had to install that old ICS theme down first before yours worked. Wonder why that would work...oh well.

One thing I've noticed is that using my music players (built-in music and playerpro), the text of the song title in the notification bar is black, so it's unreadable.
But so far, awesome job, man.

Black status bar for sense 4+

Ok, that was easy.
This worked for me. First im on JB_by_luxandroid_v2 (one s s3). I copied the systemUI.apk to my pc. Added .zip to the file and unzipped it. Searched for status_bar_background.9.png and used gimp to make these all black. Rezipped all the files to systemui.apk and copied back /system/apps using twrp file manager. Restart and all black status bar.

http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../1/7/0/0/7/5/4/Flashable_black_status_bar.zip
This worked for me. All the tutorials out there say you need to decompile, modify and compile the systemui.apk. I did not have to nor do I know why it worked the easy way. So this might not work for you and might frak up your install (do a backup before trying).
If anyone wants to make a flashable zip or make this compatible with other roms, be my guest. I dont have the knowlege to develop this any further

Hi, I'm using nova launcher with trickdroid 5 s3. HTC status bar annoys me. Would like to get it all black. Would appreciate any help with getting it. The option was before in the tweak packade but that isn't available anymore. Is there a zip to flash?
Thanks in advance.

I did not encounter any zip to flash, but you could try decompiling systemUI by yourself, which I was too lazy for, so I flashed Pacman ROM.
However, you can download ICS Status Bar or Jelly Bean Status Bar by Team Syndicate, they overlay the Sense one with a AOSP one.
Tried the overlay from play store already. Would work fine on ics. Problem with jelly bean is whn you pull down the notifications status bar goes away, but the overlay does not. So that cuts away half of the clock and settings button.
Dont want to have to go back to ics

Didn't know that as I never had Jelly Bean and Sense at the same time Just go ahead and get yourself a decent ROM, and you're fine!

Just plain flat black.... i love it... the closest ive gotten is setting status bar transparency on home all the way in Viper ROM, either one 1.2.1 or 2.0.0, and having a black bg... But only good on home...

I managed to decompile the SystemUI.apk couldnot find the obvious status bar file to modify to black, I assume there are several. Someone know witch png files need to be modified to get an all black status bar?
I have done this a long time ago on HTC touch but it seemd easier back then
been googling for hours, but cannot find clear tutorials on how to edit status bar pngs
ok think I found it. should be status_bar_background.9.png
lets see if I can get this to work with my limited knowlege
I found another way. Probably you saw that you can apply some themes in the "customize" app from HTC. Well, the devs of Virtuous ROM made some more themes for that theme chooser, including a holo-like one with a black status bar!
Ok, that was easy.

There is a transparent systemui avialable in the APP section but for that you have to be on JB, i suggest you to install any custom ROM available in developement section JB only excluding LEWA transparent notification will work on every ROM except LEWA.

[MOD][4.4][KRT16O][KRT16S] Transparent Lockscreen Mod

I've been looking around for days and couldn't find a translucent lockscreen mod for 3G, so I decided to create one:
This is ONLY for 3G Nexus 7(2012) and includes Tethering/Wifi Hotspot mod as an extra.
All tethering/Wifi hotspot credits go to xtoudi and stridger for making this happen.
SMS mod credits go to GuyAdams.

but could you please also provide a version of without the tethering mod? I flash this one together with the SMS/Hangouts + tethering mod by @GuyAdams but they are not really compatible.. if I flash one I lose the goodies from the other one and vice versa..!!
this is really sad..
thanks you very much for paying attention, hope to hear you soon!
Update OP with SMS mod as requested.
For 3-way reboot, I have to look further into the code, maybe next week.
thanks mate! great work..!! now it's even better!!!
Hi wejgomi
Thanks for buidling this.
I tried flashing "krts16s-Trans-Tether-SMS.zip" using flashify (via TWRP) and the device now won't boot.
It just sits at the boot logo forever (an animation of four coloured circles for stock 4.4.)
I'm running Stock 4.4 (KRT16S) with root (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69) and TWRP (2.6.3.1) on tilapia.
I can revert to my backup no problem but I'd like to get it working.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers

You should flash the krt16x-Stock.zip before you flash modded framework.
Please read the whole post before you proceed.
I'm adding a warning to OP, many people seem to confuse.

Ah, thanks. So, because I'm running krt16o, I should flash krt16o-NoTether-stock.zip first, correct?
There is no krt16o-Stock.zip file attached to the OP, only krt16s-Stock.zip.

Yeah, flash the one that matches your build, both are stock files.
Hi again.
I've got the mod installed now, thanks.
Tethering and SMS are working great but I'm not sure about the transparent lock screen.
Sorry if this a stupid question but how do I enable the transparency effect?
My lock screen doesn't look any different: My wallpaper, clock with date, carrier name, status icons in top right & up arrow at the bottom center of the screen.

Do you have Google Experience Launcher installed?
If not, get it here GEL Thread
Download only the launcher.

Thanks, I didn't have GEL installed but I do now. My home screen is a bit different but there's still no change to the lockscreen. Should I expect to see my home screen icons on the lock screen? That's what I thought transparent lock screen would do.
Maybe GEL has to be installed before the MOD?
The transparency is to be intended as transparency of the status bar and of the navigation bar!

[MOD][THEMING] G3 Statusbar Modding and Theming

Hey everyone so I am bringing to you a mod that I have been working on for the g2, it is a simple mod that can arrange icons and even theme them to look differently. Hopefully everyone enjoys the mod and whatever may be in stored for the future.
The Screenshots:
G3 Stock and IOS Icons
G3 L Icons
Download links and instructions can be found in the second post
Future Updates Include:
-Any Request?
Any Bugs
- NO BUGS That I Know of
A big thanks goes to:
@shooterlgk and @uknowme4me who have done all the testing and made it possible for me to bring you guys this mod.
@Ticklefish and @rastigo for there tools, guides and the help they have provided to me in the g2
Important Information and Download Links
Instruction Please Read
How To Restore:
Since the mod is made to support all of the g3 models it would be a rather difficult to maintain a bunch of systemui restore zips, so instead I designed one restore zip which anyone can use:
-download the odex or deodex version depends on your rom:
odex systemui restore zip
deodex systemui restore zip
-unzip on your pc or phone
-copy your lgsystemui.apk and lgsystemui.odex(if your rom deodex this won't be there) into system/priv-app
-rezip and now you have a flashable restore zip
IF YOU DO NOT BACKUP YOUR SYSTEMUI THEN DON'T COMPLAIN IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
How to install:
It is recommended to have custom recovery to be able to use the mod but if you don't then you can just extract the systemui and replace yours with it:
-using root explorer delete you systemui.apk/odex
-copy the modded systemui and add rw-r--r-- permissions
-reboot and enjoy

How to install? I installed to recovery, but nothing changes
Is it possible to remove the ugly gray gradient in the status bar? Solid black or even solid gray would be much better.
Installation instructions?

Cant seem to get it working...IOS7 theme

-works on both deodex and odexed roms
-works on multiple devices
-does not replace system apps
-no need for xposed so it works with art
Hopefully everyone enjoys the mod and whatever may be in stored for the future.

To install you must have custom recovery and it is a simple flash and done

Will take a look the layout doesn't specify a specific color for the statusbar, just calls out to an image but should not be hard to implement a mandatory color on statusbar and as mentioned in op I do not own a G3 so don't know much about it

Hey what are you using g3 tweaksbox for, I do not own the g3 and the person who did all testing never had any problems on both odex/deodexed systemui, he also did not use xposed but until now O have never had any problems using the mod in combination with xposed on the g2
Okay G3 851, flashed IOS styles pack...nothing changed except my normal icons are on the left. Flashed Left icon style pack and same thing? I have G3 tweakbox and I know you don't need that with this mod. But just in case that could be the culprit I turned off status bar mods then flashed but still nothing...wish I knew why?
Everything I do or have is custom.... Period.

the styles packs are designed to only move the icons around and you need to flash the icon pack if you want the ios icons; the reason for this is because not everyone including myself like the ios icons but like the ability to have a different looking statusbar, shooterlgk who was the main tester tested the mod using d851 t-mo variant so the mod should work for you no problem if it isn't working than pm me with your framework folder and the lgsystemui.apk/odex and I will get to the bottom of the problem

no worries I had forgotten to put a little explanation into how they work(I had to do same in g2 thread when I rebased mod to use vrthemer to be able to support more roms without needing so many zips) but I added some info and it will help with anyone who has any further confusions
Just tried this on my d855 but flashed in recovery and no change. Have got xposed and tweakbox running don't know if that makes a difference.
Edit Just uninstalled xposed and flashed again but still no change.
not that i don't appreciate what the op had done, don't get me wrong. i do like the idea of making your android "different".
but i just look at it as a sad thing to see. i mean if you want ios theme, if you love the ios theme, why don't you get iphone instead?
nice to see the creativity though...

This mod only over writes the stock icons so you need to change your status bar icons back to stock in tweakbox....otherwise tweakbox over rides. Found this out myself last night.

I understand what your saying but while droid reigns supreme to the iPhone....the iPhone does have a few nice things like the signal dots...they look slick! And all this does is change the stat bar icons..not the whole phone.
Mods like this are brilliant because you can combine the best of both phones and don't have to settle for one or the others limits.
