Transparent Status Bar?? Multiple Custom App Starter Rings?? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just 2 quick questions:
1. Is there a mod for the transparent status bar on the G2?? Ive searched but couldnt find anything.
2. I've seen a few people who have multiple custom app starter rings on the new lockscreen, anyone know how to do it?

1) I'm not sure off the top of my head.
2) Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Lockscreen > Style Options (select Ring style)
You then must check the Custom App starter box, scroll down and you'll see a selection for Custom Application. From there you pick up to 4 that you want to use (I think its 4, thats all I use).

Thanks man, I didnt realize that once you click on the custom app button after you add the first one, it will give you options to add more. Thanks man. Ill keep researching about the transparent status bar.

No problem. I didn't catch it the first time around either
If you find the transparent bar shoot me a PM with it.

Ok if I find anything to get it working Ill PM you

There was an option to have the transperent status bar in cyanogenmod 6
I dont know if its there I could find it

(Q) How do you remove the toggles in the notification bar?

i want to fully apply themes from other roms but the thing i think that is stopping me is that toggles for wifi and silent mode etc. any way to remove them
Do you mean that you want to remove the notification bar on top? Risky business.

No, he wants to remove the WLAN/GPS toggle..
But he wrote that
I dont know anything about howto remove/change them.. AFAIK you cannot change the toggles (or not very easy).
You have 3 options :
1. Smali edit it
2. Apktool edit the layout xml's to make toggle property invisible/gone
3. Live with it
You want to REMOVE the toggles in the Notification Bar? I wish i could ADD more toggles in there. Much better than going back to the main screen to change stuff using Extended Controls.
Data Network enabling/disabling would be sweet (and that's the only toggle i'm missing there).
Try quick Desk from the android market.
Thats the best way Ive found.

Transparent status bar with CM7?

Alright, I just got a hold of CM7 for my Incredible 2 and wanted to know how I can get a 50% transparency status bar. I looked all over, even in that Meizu theme thread (or whatever it's called) and I still can't find out how to do it. Can anybody please give me a quick tutorial? Please?
Bump! SOMEBODY needs to know how to do this...
I would also like to know how.
I mean, I GOT it and everything, but the clock is centered. Rest assured I am restoring a Nandroid right now. I don't want a centered clock.

it isn't a quite tutorial, inverting the status bar mean, that you need to change the .png of the status bar from black to whatever transparency you want, I use paint.net...
then EVERY status bar icon has a black background.. you need to change probably over 100 icons give or take to have it look correct other wise u will have a transparent staus bar with icons that have a black background.
I suggest using the UOT kitchen. much faster. and it should do this MOD for u, I'm not sure I've never used it but people seem to like it.
download the Metamorph app and search for "metamorph darkshade.zip". The darkshade.zip file will theme your notification pulldown for you. You'll have to do a battery pull after applying the theme but afterwards you'll be golden.
I've tried using metamorph but it does do anything for my Inc2 and I'm on CM7. Any help?

Show Off Your HTC One M8 Desktop!

Haven't seen a thread for the HTC One M8 and would like to see what people have come up with. I hope that people would share their setups and how they did it, so others can get ideas and come up with something of their own.
If you post, please share how you did it, or whatever apps/Xposed modules you used. Also, if the Mods are not clear in the pictures, explain what mods are done.
This is all on the Stock 4.4.2 OS that is on the HTC One M8, it's just Rooted.
All of the Mods come from Xposed Modules:
EX-Themer[KK]
HTC One Tweaker
Overflow Mod
Sense 6 Lockscreen Mods
Sense 6 Toolbox
Smooth System Progress Bars
SoftkeysFadeMod
Tinted Status Bar
Unicon
XSense
*****Unicon is the only module that you download via the Google Play Store, and costs money*****
In the first screenshot, I have custom Icons via Unicon, the Icons themselves are from the icon pack Cryten. Also the Weather Widget is transparent. The Software Keys are smaller, taking up less real-estate than the stock.
In the second screenshot, the App Drawer background is transparent instead of black.
The third screenshot is of BlinkFeed, the Dock Icons disappear.
In the fourth screenshot, the Status Bar and Navigation Bar change color to whatever app it is in via Tinted Status Bar.
In the fifth screenshot, its the same as the previous one, just showing the change in color of the Status and Nav Bars.
In the final screenshot, the Nav Bar icons fade via SoftkeysFadeMod.
I like to customize things to a point where they look kind of stock, like it was made to be the way it looks. I don't like over the top mods. Show me what you guys come up with!
Going to start messing with the Notfication Background, lets see what I come up with.
Hope you guys enjoy!
The home screen thread is under the Themes and apps thread. There is also a bigger one under the international forums also.
Thanks for this. Must have missed it.
Mods, please close the thread.

It's like that on stock. What ever apps you have on the lower part of your home screen, those will be displayed on the lock screen.

so... I've just got the new lollipop update... now in need of help!

The new lollipop update has just been officially updated on my new lg g3. But I've noticed a few different things that I'm now unable to change. One being a very annoying one! The top status bar and the bottom nav bar....
I use Nova launcher and there's a setting on there that if your device allows it that the top status bar will be set to full transparent (not just translucent)... this now no longer works?! Instead I have a dark overlay as the status bar and the same applies to the Nav bar. If I use the I.original home launcher then it does at least become translucent again with a gradient effect.
Is there any way to have a FULL translucent status bar again on lollipop without rooting it? As I didn't really want to have to root this phone. But these small UI changes make all the difference to me! I just can't understand why something like that would be taken away :-\
Try the Google Now Launcher After you install it, you can switch it from Settings > Home.
And if you'd be interestedin Nokia ZLauncher, it's a cool new thing, it's simple and minimal. it uses Try to download from Google Store if it says you can't or not compatible with your devide, you can grab the apk file from THIS THREAD
I hope this works for you. let me know.
where are you from ?
