Hello, guys!
I managed to mod an application to have a transparent background and it worked just fine, so I decided to share it with you.
This is the new News and Weather Widget from Google that works on Froyo and above on every ROM and every device. It has some new features such as displaying more information on the weather by clicking on the weather icon within the app (as you can see in the first picture) and a cool cerulean highlight effect when pressing on the widget.
Since 1.3.11 from Jelly Bean, it was updated to improve freshness and power consumption.
*UPDATE*
Updated GenieWidget to 1.3.11 from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Now you can choose between 2 glow colors when pressing on the widget on the home screen: ORIGINAL BLUE or MIUI ORANGE!
Thanks to c3k for providing the Jelly Bean apk and to YOU FOR DOWNLOADING IT MORE THAN 10000 TIMES! I started sharing it just for fun, how could I've ever expected it? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
*INSTRUCTIONS*
Uninstall any previous version, if any (if it's a system apk, remove it using Root Explorer or any equivalent apk);
Download the version you desire (BLUE glow or MIUI glow);
Push it to /system/app with adb, or just copy it to your sdcard and install it as a regular apk;
Enjoy!
*TROUBLESHOOTING*
Having troubles or force closes? Please, remember that this is just a mod, I'm not the author of the original apk, so make sure your problems are coming from my mods *only* before asking! If you can't see anything wrong with an original GenieWidget version, please uninstall GenieWidget, reboot to recovery, clear caches, reboot and try installing it again.
*CHANGELOG*
11-15-2011: Initial mod from ICS 4.0.0;
02-07-2012: Updated mod to 1.3.04, from ICS 4.0.3 which now includes ICS themed tabs and minor graphical changes overall. It also supports HD resolutions (e.g. Galaxy Nexus);
07-23-2012: Updated to 1.3.11 from JB 4.1; added MIUI variant; removed ICS versions.
06-15-2016: Discontinuing project since Google stopped supporting GenieWidget.
Thanks Works Great!!

I made this, but result isn't change. Widget works, and app when starts - crash.
UPD: This isn't bug of this app, this is bug of cyanogemod. Because the same error in some another app, that connect to internet (Beautifull Widget - when search theme, etc)
thanks! looks great.
Hi im running onecosmic's port of ics on my i9000.
I couldnt find any options to set my widgets to transparent.
So im wondering if its ok for me to install this apk, assuming this apk was meant for froyo and gingerbread.
Edit:
Ive mistaken this for an ability to make all the widgets in ics to go transparent.
Is there a way to do this??

That would simplify everyone's life, but backgrounds are built-in in the apks and need to be edited and 9patched, or decompiled, edited, recompiled and signed again. That's no job for a launcher, unfortunately.
*sigh*
But thanks for the link and comments

If that's a system apk, you can't just uninstall it. You have to remove it manually: use Root Explorer or any equivalent app and make sure /system is set as R/W. You'll find that in /system/app.
It is a system App.
Sounds like I need to root first, install root explorer, find and remove it and then install the transparent APK?

notifications wont work, lockscreen still the same
If you are nervous about rooting (or, in my case, can't because a custom recovery's not out yet for CDMA), and don't mind clogging up your storage with another ~20MB of stuff, you can just download an ICS imitation launcher from the Play store. Looks almost like the real thing.
For examples, search for "ICS launcher". If you want the lockscreen too, "Go Launcher EX"+"Go Locker"+"Go Locker ICS Locker theme"+"Home Manager"(for swapping ICS in place of Go Launcher) will do it, albeit at the cost of even more storage. Above combo runs pretty smooth on my phone, and the ability of the ICS launcher to customize home screen grid size, I must say, is a sweet feature.

Hi guys,
I have extracted the version of TouchWiz Launcher from DLH6 leaked ROM for SGS III, and made it compatible with NON-OFFICIAL ICS and JB ROM's for our Galaxy S, I tested with CyanogenMod 10 and it works, I haven't tried with other versions.
CHANGELOG:
v1.0DLIB:
-This is a mod from the ported version.
-Added the number of the missed SMS, Gmail Mesages and Missed Calls over its App Icon.
-Correct the issue with Apps storage in SD:
-Its icons in the Apps Menu never is loaded, and take the default one.
-If you have its icons in Desktop, when load the launcher from a reset, the icons was removed.
-In FastScroll, when you hover over the dots of page indicator, the pages are centered in the middle vertically.
v0.0DLIB:
-New version DLIB has not differences with DLI5 version, but is changed to mantain the numeration of Samsung.
-Corrected the issue with the Alphabetical list.
v0.0DLI5:
-New version ported from Samsung DLI5 ROM.
NEXT STEPS:
-Try to make the creation of folders like ICS.
-Try to make draggable All Apps Icon in Dock bar to any position inside it.
-Try to add the number of unread sms-mms, gmails and missed calls is show over the corresponding Apps, Messages, Phone and Gmail respectively.
I uploaded two versions of the same version, one signed and one unsigned, because in some ROMs the signed version doens't work. You must try first signed one and if doesn't work try the unsigned one.
Thanks.
Awesome.......you're the man
:good: :good:
Pardon me Froilson, what is the different between the other one you post before this? (Twiz ux ver 1.01)
Is this ver more stable? Cause i notice, the other twiz ux you post before, when i pinch the desktop,it works, but then i choose random page screen, the widget, icon, etc doesnt show up
Btw..thanks for all ur great effort to make this happen to our beloved sgs. JB + twiz.ux (it rocks, yeah man)
working great on CM10... :good:
Thanks Froilson. working great on CNA 3.3.2
Modded the launcher to single screen and removed all shortcuts because they were causing force close when trying to delete them.

There are many differences.
The version in the URL you put here is more like the ICS one.
In the DLH6 version Samsung make new things. The Widgets and Icons in Home Scren can change the position if you try to put something over them. Now, the Icon for Folders are different, and has animation when open and close. The Dock, when removed an icon, is adapted to the number of icons. When you drag an icon from Menu Apps to Home Screen, the Dock is not hidden by the Options bar, this one is place top in the screen, so you can add icons over the Dock easily.
There are problably some other changes.
You are awesome!
EDIT: LH7 is out!

Hi everyone
I ported two little mods to the latest JB 4.2. They have been tested on the stock odexed ROM but they could work on a deodexed one ^_^
- GB Theme Remover removes the Gingerbread "theme" from all the old apps and displays them with the Holo (4.0+) one. The mod was originally ported by lippol94 to 4.1. Just flash the zip.
- Facebook Sync makes you sync your FB contacts with the built-in People app.
How to:
- Delete the FB account
- Flash the zip
- Go to Settings, Applications, Contacts Storage and delete its data (make sure you have synced your contacts before doing this...)
- Open the Facebook app and as soon as you enter your login, it should ask you to sync.
Hope they are useful ^_^
Not sure what I done wrong when I tried using this on mmuzys 4.2 gave me a boot loop. Had to reflash OS rom.
Would love to try this mod though.

Since the GB remover mod replaces the framework-res.apk in the system
I think you will get boot loops if you flash it

There are no images. Changes are made to XML files.
Well do you know which XML files?
Because those can be replaced with zip themer as well
Its replacing Styles.xml which cannot be zipthemer'd. Framework has to manually be decompiled and modded.
Don't do this if you don't know anything about it.

As I said it's just for 4.2 ROMs... and probably as I learned these days, only for the stock ROM because Android checks for the signature of framework-res and a lot of apks in /system/app. They must match or the OS won't even boot. These mods keep Google's signature so the only ROMs which work are Google-signed ones.
I got a boot loop on aosp r5.

1. Unzip the theme to a folder in your sd card
2. Go to market and install the metamorph app.
3. Use View attachment UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to root your phone if you are not root already, or my advice-if you have the time for it-is to install a custom rom.
4. Enable USB debugging in settings-applications-development.
5. Open the metamorph app that you installed earlier.
6. Tap "pick existing theme"
7. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the theme to, and then select the "ICS_theme_1.0.xml" file to let metamorph know how to use the theme.
8. Follow the prompts and when it reboots, just let it, as it needs to reboot to edit system files, much like chkdsk on windows.
9. Enjoy! This theme has a black statusbar and holo buttons much like the ones in ICS -correction- they are the original buttons, taken directly from the source! Give me feedback if you think there is anything missing
P.S. I am working on a video tutorial on how to install cyanogenmod, so if you are having trouble rooting your phone, then it will hopefully help.

you might need to adjust the reboot timeout in metamorph settings, so that it doesn't reboot in the middle of the operation.

Yes it is, its themed by darinx (probably butchered his name) there are two ROMs actually, one based off froyo by Laszlo and one of dream team froyo, two of the better froyo builds for the dream
Check the dev threads and youll find it within the first few pages
Also andisa (probably butchered his name too) made a great ICS theamed version of ezgingerbread that all includes some additional tweeks, I don't believe he ever created an xda thread but I can find you the link if your interested

Just want to ask what was the things you did to make G1 still great even with live wallpapers under the gingerbread version?? heheh,,,thanks in advance,,,
what I did to speed it up was remove some apps that were running in the background, such as dialer, which was taking up a solid 7mb of ram all the time. I now have a pretty consistent 42mb of ram while at my launcher, adw ex. While it won't beat any phone at a benchmark, it will run quite smoothly while flipping between launcher pages. Try using swap and a task killer, I am using smart ram booster and have the widget situated over the clock on the statusbar for whenever I want a quick boost in speed.
The new launcher from Google has been made available and here are the links to download. Three links for three files. The files are PrebuiltGMSCore, Velvet and GoogleHome. Download them and install them in this order. Cheers!

Doesn't work on gingerbread. Still a nice share. Can you upload some screenshots? How much ram the launcher consumes? Does it run smooth?

It is moderately smooth, not as smooth as Nova Launcher though. Not much in the way of customisation for now. Good thing is you have some kind of Google Now. The voice search does not work for some reason but a fix should be underway soon. Btw, ROM I am running is AOSP JB RC2 by Maclaw. The smoothest JB ROM in my opinion.
I can't tell the RAM usage as it does not show up in Running processes though Google Search will run. Btw, you have to enable Google Now from settings. You access when you swipe to the left. It functions like the Blinkfeed on HTC One
On CM10.1.6 I installed all three apps and I have notice: 'PLACEHOLDER TEXT: Google Search not found.' but after reboot launcher works
Working for me too
I've got only one problem...after installing all the 3 apk, the stock sms apk does not work anymore...it doesn't open at all...did it happened to you too?
Edit.: solved by installing Hangout..maybe this will be useful if someone else will have the same problem
