[Q] How do you removing the Lockscreen Overlay - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched and searched and I can't find how to remove the gray overlay over lockscreen wallpapers! Well actually I can find lots about it just nothing for a Nexus 5 on CM 11! I've evne tried looking through the Keyguard.apk but I can't find what I'd need to change. I thought GravityBox use to do it on my stock rom but I can't find the option now that I'm on CM and it's the only thing I dislike about the stock lockscreen. Thanks for you help.

Adjusting it is a custom ROM feature or with Xposed like you said, or do it in Android source.

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.

[Q] Only one lockscreen widget?

Is it possible to only have one custom lockscreen widget on stock ROM? I don't want to use the stock clock but if I enable lockscreen widgets I find myself always accidentally scrolling left to the page where you add a new widget when holding my phone with only one hand.

I think you need a custom rom for that or maybe Xposed framwork with such module that can change that, not possible with stock afaik.

Yeah, I know Cataclysm has it but I'm happier with stock. Haven't found any Xposed modules which gives this functionality, unfortunately.

Lollipop build with custom nav bar mods.

Can anyone please advise if any lollipop custom roms come with custom nav bar mods please?
Almost all AOSP-LP rom's have that feature. Or you can reduce the navbar size on your own by using apktool and modding framework-res and SystemUI apk's.

I don't think he means navbar height. I've also been looking for LP roms with customizable navigation buttons but couldn't find any. For FoxHound there's a mod thread somewhere, but FoxHound doesn't have the features I want and I can't install it on most other ROMs. You might give that mod a try but I can't promise you anything

Ditto this. I tried using the Fox mods on CM12 and they worked, but broke some other things in the process. I'm trying to hunt down a guide so I can just try to do it myself.

You can find tutorials about modding navbar height here in XDA. The procedure is same for lollipop as well. One major step is you have to use apktool R3 or latest.

[Q] theme chooser custom rom

Hi ,
I'm trying to build a custom rom for the jiayu g4 with as base stock kitkat rom.
Now, I would like to add theme ability to the rom. Not with xposed framework or such, just a theme chooser like in the xperia and cm settings.
Can anyone help me with this? The intension is to have such setting (or app that I can link to settings) to easely change the theme.
If there's an option to do this, but specific for my kind of phone (so no theme's exist yet), I wouldn't mind theming a bit. In that case I could provide the users with 3 or 4 different UI collours and different icons or such to choose from.
Thanks,
Louis

You could try adding the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM and offer some themes for it but that isn't device specific as such. That would most likely be the easy option where something else could take a lot of time though.

How can i add the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM? Isn't the cyanogenmod theme engine built in in the framework and very difficult to add to a ROM?

It is built into the framework and requires an AOSP based rom. Also the version for that OS had a ton of issues that were never fixed as it abandoned for the newer setup

So you're telling me I must not try to add the cyanogenmod theme engine? What would be the easiest way to add some theme's then? It doesn't have to be theming like in cyanogenmod or such. Just changing the theme collour from as example black to blue would be enough for me. Then I can provide them with the themes black, blue, red, green or such.
Thanks for taking the time to answer

To do what you want you would have to rewrite all the base framework files and add everything in by hand. To be honest it will be far more work then it is worth. Your best option would be to make flashable theme zips, where you change all the color options to each and every single apk in the rom.

wouldn't it work to just change the systemui or such so the status bar, volume pannel, settings etc change collour and maybe some icons (like wifi, bt,..)? And then I could search for an app that automaticaly flashes zip's, that way the users just need to choose the theme they want and the phone does the rest himself?
Or is there a way to implend xposed modules into the system so I can use XthemeEngine without having to install xposed module? Or implend xposed framework and XthemeEngine in the ROM so you just flash it with the rest of the ROM? But in that last case, it maybe would be stupid to do the work for it as everyone can easily find out about XthemeEngine if they realy want to apply some themes. Plus xposed and XthemeEngine would be 2 apps taking space in the drawer and memory wasting for the users who don't want to theme..

Well thats the thing. The volume panel color shares its color with the rest of the menus in the rom, The settings is set by the settings apk and the icons are scattered across a ton of different apks. Some in the framework and some in the system ui.
The xposed route is up to you. I find no use for xposed myself.
Ill be honest there is no easy way to do this. What you want to do takes weeks worth of work even for a single color theme. This is due to everything being cross linked to everything else. You change the color for say the clock then the color changes in 50 other places as well.
