[Q] Semi-transparent Rosie? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all not sure of this is the right section to be asking bout themeing but here it goes. How do I get a semi-transparent effect on the Rosie app drawer? I'm running stock HTC theme just with a skin. Any tips on how to do it, or a link if someone already has and I can't find it.
Thanks

if your phone is rooted, there's a guide or a apk somewhere in the Development section.

Ofcourse it's rooted xD first thing i did when i got it. I can't seem to find the thread you're talking about, i tried searching, and even went through all 14 pages of the dev section and can't see it. Could someone possibly provide a link?

I believe thats whats your looking for, it's easy, just google XDA [What Your Looking For] and you'll always find what you want

I did find that, but it's for the Evo, not sure if it was compatible with the DHD. Also i was going to try it (i downloaded the file and everything) but I don't know how to use MetaMorph to apply it to my rosie.

Need advise or opinions

Ok after browsing all these ROMS and basically starting to get a headache lol, can anyone recommend a rom thats stock froyo (or close to as I use the football app and the nascar app etc) that also allows me to tether wifi. Ive probably looked at over 7 roms maybe more and they all seem custom in some way shape or form which im not interested in. I did look at the stock rooted 2.2 but I dont think it suits my needs, unless theres something im missing about tethering

Once you are rooted, the wireless tether application for root users will work on every rom. You can use any stock rom of your liking and then add the wireless tether app from the market and you will be all set.
Wow! Seriously?! Why in dev section?! I'm sorry to be rude but I'm getting tired of ppl always posting non-developing stuff on the DEVELOPMENT section. I almost never comment but I'm tired of this.
Please, next time post it on the Q&A section.
Thanks.
Edit: I'll be glad to help if mods move it to Q&A.
Stock froyo like sense 2.2 rooted? There's that option, if you mean like stock android froyo ala 2.2 there is CM6

OP,
I understand your headaches since I am basically wanting the same thing. But after a little looking around, think that the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 is what you are looking for. They use to have a thread on just ROMs, how they have been modified, etc.
Also krazyconejo, maybe this is a way for a developer to help out a user? I know that the developers love to have their ROMs used, or at least some input instead of jumping on a guy, maybe you should strongly suggest for future education. Sometimes it is better to coach a fellow member than hit him over the nose with a rolled up news paper (figuritively speaking) - without being disrespectful to you.
Krazy..ive spent the past few hours searching and reading this section of the forums, so excuse me for posting here and upsetting you lol. Since this is a question about ROMS specifically and this section has them all listed, I felt it would be better answered here, then in a general Q&A section. I tend to value the replies I get in a specific forum topic more then a general one
like I said before I usually don't say anything and just ignore it. But if I come to the developing section, I expect to see that and not waste my time with this.
As for OP sorry for being mean but if you would had posted this in the right place, I'm petty sure someone would had helped.
*Not gonna respond anymore. OP if you still help pm me and let's just let this thread die.
Thanks.
if you want the football and nascar app...just flash any rom and install those apks.

Sorry, I didn't get past this part. I'm still too busy reeling from the discovery that someone actually uses those two apps to recommend that you use DamageControl 3.5 or something based from it.

This may be true however it is still the wrong place to post this. questions go in questions forum or in the thread of a specific rom/kernal if they pertain to it. since this is a general questions about roms and doesnt fit into a specific rom thread it belongs in the Q&A forum. Most of the people who will give you a true answer from dev also frequently go to the QA section. also yuo will get flamed less and not have to wade through as many posts telling you that you posted wrong.
To answer your question. You can use wifi tether with stock rooted froyo or almost any custom rom. you can still use football/nascar you can try Damage control 3.5 which will let you easily select what you want to have or not of the sprint apps and have the rest removed. you can also use roms like fresh Evio and baked snacks and install the .spk for those 2 apps.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Baked snack then install nascar and football apk. If you need them im sure they are floating around here somewhere if not pm me.
You could also try fresh. He puts all the apks he removes in a folder on your sdcard.

lol thanks for all the info...Kinda new to the whole rooting thing and with all the roms flying around and the 100+ pages for each its alot to read over but I tried as much as I could
And yes I am a nascar fan and a football fan..And since Verizon has the good app lol..I use what I got!!!
You could also probably find those .apks by browsing for a folder of the Fresh Removed .apks folder that comes with the Fresh ROM, or just find some Fresh user to upload them for you.

Scenes won't save in 4.0
Hi all,
I'm a newb to all this...been with my droid inc for a bit now and only just decided to root it and try out some new ROMS. Chose Skyraider 4.0 as my first and am VERY happy with it, no issues except 1.
I can't post in the development thread as I'm a newb still and I have done a search and I can't seem to find the answer to this one issue:
I can't figure out how to save scenes in skyraider??? guessing it just doesn't work? did I get a bad flash? pending improvement?
thanks for any replies

A little help!

Hey folks, I was told there was a thread with bootanimations for the GB ROMs located in here and I can't find it to save my life. Yes I've tried search but it just isn't giving me squat. I just need a pointer.
I'm not a noob by any means and usually have no problems finding what I need but this is driving me nuts. Please don't blast.
There are bootanimations all through here that should work for you. What rom are you running and what kind of animation you looking for, that will help someone give you a better idea where to start.
Brought to you by the little voices in my head

I haven't found a single one. Maybe I didn't go deep enough or something. I'm running a blue themed version of MikG 1.03 that someone has been kind enough to let me test so I would say MikG 1.03.
Before running this I was running King Cocoa with a blue honeycomb animation that I was quite fond of but I tend to change around a lot when I get free time. I would like to find as wide of a variety that I can just to keep in my library for those FLASH ATTACK days, lol.
I'm gonna keep looking but if anyone comes across one in the meantime and could send me the link, it would be very much appreciated.
so your just looking to collect some animations for later or your have a hard time finding some to flash to that rom(in recovery)?
none in the splash and animation collect thread appeal to you? any certain kind you like.
did you look here

I'm not a noob, I have practically all of the animations prior to the GB update, flashable and others. I was told those bootanimations will NOT work with the new ROMs. I looked through root explorer and couldn't find the animation file anywhere which leads me to believe this to be true. I was told to look in the Themes and Apps forum and there was a thread with some new ones.
If not, most of my animations you had to replace the existing one in system with root explorer. So how would I go about changing it because the file doesn't go into the same place.
sorry if i implied that. in that rom did you look in data\syscustomize\resource and i think the bootanime is called SPC_bootanimaton.zip and i think you can replace with root explorer same as before. as for a thread for just gb animations i dont remember seeing one just for that.

No worries, I see where you're talking about. Now one question , can you use the older animations and just name them as they are in that folder. ? Will they still work?
I just realized that the folder you're talking about is where it has always been, you just took another route to get to it. You can also go through system/customize/resource, same thing. That's the way I always took to replace them before. So they just started renaming the file then.
I'd really like to know if the older files, renamed to spc_bootanimation.zip, would work. I'm going to be changing roms either tonight or tomorrow so maybe, before I do, I will try it and see what happens.
yes the should work just fine. just make sure it is named exactly as they have it. for example "SPC_bootanimation.zip"(or whatever rom your using has it named as)with caps and underscore. hope that helps

gray lines in contact pictures in people

i'm getting a vertical gray line in every contact icon with or withoit picture in contacts. they dont show up in recent calls or messages, only in people. so i'm guessing it has something to do with basic template for all contacts and perrmissions, because i think they appeared after "fixing" them.
i'm using rcmix 4.0, kernel 11.1 and honeyhd theme
any help would be geratly appreciated...
tried a fresh install, with format and wipe, still there...
so i guess i'll have to live with it?
Looks like a theme issue; have you asked whoever created that theme? I'm assuming you've tried without the theme to check that it works on the 'stock' RCMix install?
Edit: there's someone else with the same problem over in the Honey HD theme thread, so I guess that's probably going to be the place to look for assistance.
thanks, i wasnt sure what it is about, so i didnt post there.
still no answer though...

Are you running a custom theme? What rom? It does look like an issue with the layout or a .9 png
yes, rcmix 4.0 and honey hd. can you please be more specific where is this problem? i'm a complete noob when it coms to dev, but i'm willing to try. which apk to look at, and where? i managed to figure out it has something to do with the basic frame for contact picture in people, but then i got lost. is the problem in phone apk or framework?

That's the thing. That image is in 4 apks. Phone, dialer, contacts and com.HTC.resources.apk. you may need to decompile all of them and change each one to find the one that is causing the issue

if only people who didnt know what their talking about would shut the hell up.
trust me, several folks are working on a fix for this but as for right now the best that can be done is to hide the icon in the notification bar by making a transparent image to replace the icon in phone.apk.
but this will NOT remove the notification in the dropdown which is what im sure you are referring to. so dont let that guy lead you on a wild goose chase just cuz he doesnt understand your plain and simple question.

Well, I was sure he was talking about in the status bar, so just because we're both sure of different things doesn't make either of us wrong. Maybe my previous answer was slightly rude, but I was offering the location of the best fix at the present moment.
So, with two different ways to interpret this question, we both helped him, I'm sure adequately. The links below will take you to the thread to remove the icon (not the notification).
Link to theme
Link to post with phone.apk
Thanks guys, it was only because I was using mindhacker's rom (or whatever hes called) and he managed to remove it, which looked great but was one of the biggest battery drainer roms I've ever come across.
