Changelog v1.0.4 (I think this is my last Eclair modded ROM):
- TouchWiz is now active (with all Samsung Widgets)
- Readded Facebook, Twitter and MySpace integration
- Modded ADW Launcher is optional (You can install from "/sdcard/Optionals" folder)
- Removed Home Switcher (Install from Market if you want back)
- Fancy Widget v1.3.0 is optional (You can install from "/sdcard/Optionals" folder)

Changelog v1.0.3:
- Added Home Switcher (Nice free application for switching launchers)
- Added Spare Parts (Set animations to "Fast" for more animations performance)
- Readded Samsung Widgets (works only with stock Samsung launcher)
- Added Fancy Widget v1.3.0
Changelog v1.0.2:
- Readded Swype Keyboard
- Removed Rom Manager (Install from Market if you want)
- Removed Busybox installer (Busybox v1.17.1 is also in the ROM)
Changelog v1.0.1:

Screenshots:

This looks really good however a few suggestions.
- Don't remove Swype, just make it not default. (It doesn't consume resources unless set as default IME.)
- Don't pre-install Twitter, not all users use Twitter and it is very easy to install from Market. ( It's services exist even if you don't sign in. )
In case you are worried about my opinion affecting my suggestions, I prefer Swype and I also use Twitter app. But I do like the multi-touch keyboard as well. ( Having options is good. )
EDIT: I'm trying to download it but megaupload says the file is unavailable?

I'm sure users can install terminal emulator from market?
When you say you removed Samsung bloat, does the Samsung calendar / contacts apps still exist?
It would be really good if you could port over as many fixes / enhancements as you can from cyanogenmod...
See: CHANGELOG
Specifically...
Common: Phone mod V.30.1 - cytown
Common: WyContacts 1.2 - Wysie
Common: Mobile data toggle for power widget - Drakaz
Common: Browser fullscreen mode and other enhancements - Wysie
Common: Zipalign on install (if needed) + system dex cache to /cache - Cyanogen/Chris Soyars
I know that's asking a bit much, but I'm really talking about some of those extra fixes such as the phone mod and contacts mod.
I really like that you have sticked to the default theme, I hate how some roms theme the phone. I think theme and roms should be applied separately... :\

nice... but it reminds me too much of Windows Mobile themes

Calendar, calculator, SMS/MMS application, contacts, ThinkFree Office and MyFiles are in the rom, stock Samsung firmware is really horrible.. you know, has many applications dependencies! Es. contacts with SMS application etc. (acore problem)
Anyway, I see if samsung framework work great with CMod features
Also.. I like google vanilla theme, I really miss from my Nexus One
P.S. ROM v1.0.1 is up, have fun!
Ciao

Thanks!

LOL, you are right!

hi Hackdown,
your rom does include the ADW Launcher, does this mean it has a system version included? since i remember from the i7500 that adw market version caused laggs with phone and contacts app...

Hi bro! Yes, Touchwiz Launcher is installed (removing cause acore issue) but at first boot you need to choose the launcher and if u want ADW Launcher.. select it!
Have fun

You need to remove manually all stock removed applications from
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications
Click to expand...

What ones?
I haven't installed the rom yet but I'd like to know.

All displayed in the menu at first boot

Downloading now, will report of any (if any) issues.
Thanks a lot for sharing your work!

Well I'd like to try it but I like swype and touchwiz I don't know why so many people don't like it....

This is a very fast rom,I'd like it

that was not the question, there are two versions of adw launcher, one is the market version, normally it installs to where your market apps go, but you could also use this one to install with the system apps, but this makes no changes to the lagg issue. however there are also "system versions" of daw launcher available (normally one mdpi and one hdpi) that are slightly different and do not cause these laggs. i dont eaven know if this applyes to the sgs, but it definitely did to the galaxy i7500.

hi Hackdown,
good work! I have four questions:
1) changelog of v. 1.0.1
2) market is full?
3) why you tell that is not usefull any lag fix, for example one click lag fix
4) where your rom is different from SamSet 1.9b

[UTIL][12/JUL/12] Samsung Galaxy S Chlorine (or cwm update bloat remover generator)

Status: ONLINE and Updated 12/Jul/12
With so many GB roms coming out lately I often can't wait for xxx custom rom developer to update to xxx rom. For the last month or so I've basically been using customised stock roms. (My own AOSP theme, choose a kernel, change a few apks).
One of the first things I do after flashing a new rom + kernel is cut down on some of the bloat in /system/. I more or less remove everything that can be downloaded (for free) from the market. When they're downloaded from the market they often go into /data/, leaving more breathing room in /system/.
As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.
Android Chlorine
---
SGS Chlorine
SGS2 Chlorine
SGS3 Chlorine
---
SGS Chlorine (mobile)
SGS2 Chlorine (mobile)
SGS3 Chlorine (mobile)
What this does:
This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).
Usage:
* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.
- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.
* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.
* Apply it with CWM.
Thanks:
The list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.
The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet
The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread
Notes:
* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone.
* I've tested it myself pretty extensively and used it for the last couple of stock roms released. However, there may be bugs. Let me know and I'll attempt to get them fixed!
* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.
* You can remove TouchWiz (TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) with this. However, if you do that without having another home 'app' installed, bad things may (will) happen.

Presets:
- Google
Removes the following:
- Gmail.apk
- GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
- Maps.apk
- Street.apk
- VoiceSearch.apk
- YouTube.apk
- Sargorn Special
Removes the following:
- Everything from the Google preset
- Aldiko
- BuddiesNow
- The flip fonts, Choco, Cool, Rose
- Days
- Dlna
- DualClock
- InfoAlarm
- Flash
- Layar
- MiniDairy
- MyFiles
- Protips
- SamsungWidgets (CalendarClock, FeedAndUpdate, StockClock)
- SnsAccount
- SnsProvider
- Unified Inbox
- Write and Go

Nice, a kitchen for removal rather than gain of apps

reserved for future use!

Simple, but very useful!
Thumbs up!

this looks very promising.
one of the things i hate about upgrading is removing all the bloatware ....will try it out my next flash thanks

what a great idea

Wow, definitely going to try this. Thanks!
EDIT: after generating a .zip and looking at the generated script, it deletes .apk and .odex files. Will this throw an error if used on a deodexed rom? Maybe an option to select whether the rom is odexed/deodexed would be a good idea? Just a thought.

It doesn't throw an error. Just double checked.

I will try. I was looking for such a pc software because im tired of removin app
myself again and again after flashing new roms. Thanks.

can i still choose apps which i don't have so incase in the future, i don't need to create another one.. what i'm generating is my master uninstaller.
very nice utility.

this a very useful +1

Very nice idea. Exactly what I was looking for. Will give it a try right away/

Great!
Suggestion: you could add a text input field (possibly user could press a button to get more text input fields) so that users can remove some other (not pre-defined) APKs.
Don't know if it's of any use though..

That should work without any problems. The update-script won't complain if the files deleted are not there to start with.

I can see it being useful if you have a specific apk that usually is installed with your CSC. I'll look into it when I have a chance.

If I understood well, it works on odexed roms?

That's right, the update-script removes both the .apk files and the .odex files.
So as long as you have CWM it will work on odex or deodexed.

Ok, so domo arigato, as they say

Worked pretty good when I went from JVP to JVQ just a minute ago
Great!

After downloading the zip file, can the updater-script be manually edited and and readded to the zip?

[CM7] Tweaks Guide and Transparent Theme

Hi there,
Edit (2012-May-17): added flashable zips for TouchWiz style Calendar and semi-trans MMS.apk-no smiley. Details here: Calendar, MMS - please read before flashing.
- - -
I had some free time during the past holidays and I've put together the following. It's no dev work here and it is simply and basically -zipper's work like Epsylon3 would call it - and something to remind myself -and to share with you all- on what are most of my current tweaks on the December 13th Defy+ nightly that I'm currently using.
I was also surprised to see oldtimers here on XDA still asking the same old questions regarding how to replace system files and how to set their files permissions. So I figured, why not use what I've put together and make this a good practice session for that and to get people familiarized with all this? The more people in the know; the better it is for everyone -right?
So here's what I hope could be called a 'CM7 tweak guide' and as an added bonus, I've also included a (transparent) theme that I've spent quite some time modding.
Heads up warnings:
- The transparent statusbar tweak and the ICS screen animations are nightly specific and won't work on any other CM7 builds.
-> I've used post #2 below to make a guide on how to do this on any CM7 build... And see the aknowlegments section for the ICS screen animation patcher from DaxInfinty to get the transitions on other CM7 builds.
- Furthermore: the Dec13th Defy+ nightly is mainly FOR RED LENS/DEFY+ USE ONLY as the camera will not work for green lens phones.
- I've chosen this specific Defy+ nightly because there are still problems with all the newer ones (up to cm72-120109.2049-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip here) regarding inverted picture in camera that cannot be fixed; so use this one and not newer ones for now.
But the other tweaks and my modded theme can also just be installed on any CM7 build and by green lens owners as well (you just won't get the transparent statusbar unless you follow post#2 below).
So here's my gift for you guys, I hope you enjoy!
/AL
If you follow this, here's what you'll get:
[*] A pretty damn good CM7-Defy+ build for red lens with:
[*] ICS' screen transition animations [before/after clip here];
[*] Latest update for security certificates;
[*] Properly working Camera/Videocam/zoom [again: for red lens Defy only];
[*] Proper libs to play GTA3 [I will not help you here on getting that game - but you might like to read this post];
[*] Proper libs for Voice Search and Google Translate;
[*] Script to zip align at boot;
[*] T9-style Dialer;
[*] Tap-to-snooze/swipe-to-dismiss [or stock] alarm style;
[*] Transparent statusbar and my MSGingerBlur-based theme with >150+ modded/replaced UI icons;
[*] Properly charging battery for Defy+ owners.
To get started, here's what you'll need download -as needed:
- 7-zip
- RootExplorer (RE) here on the Android Market;
- CM7 F.A.Q.: for 2ndinit, SuperoneClick, etc.
- CM7 and CM9 signed Kernels;
- Dec 13th CM7-Defy+ nightly ;
- Latest GingerBread Gapps .
Once that's done, extract my attached zip files to and place all the content (10 files plus my theme's apk) in a folder on your computer's desktop.
To begin, the following tweaks can be done directly to the nightly zip before the installation BECAUSE we are just replacing files with the same names here; this alleviate the need to further set files' permissions and Ownerships on the phone.
But first, play it safe: charge up your phone and make a nand backup of your current build [and of this nightly zip] and then Open [do not extract] the cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip archive with 7-Zip: by right-clicking on it and then 'Open archive'.
Navigate to the proper folder and replace these files with the ones from my AL's Pack zip by "drag-and-drop" (press "ok" on the replace file warning):
- DeskClock.apk in /system/app
- cacerts.bks in /system/etc/security
- Camera.apk in /system/app (!red lenses only!)
- Contacts.apk in /system/app
- libstagefright.so in /system/lib
- overlay.omap3.so in /system/lib/hw (!red lenses only!)
I just added a 2nd tweaks pack zip (to extract do not flash in recovery)...
- battd in system/bin <-- this is to fix the battery charging problem for Defy+ owners only!
Close the nightly zip archive, move it to your phone [along with all the remaining files extracted from my zip and the optional downloaded signed Kernels and gapps] and go in custom recovery to install (flash) the usual way [Select ZIP from SD card option] the following:
- this modded nightly;
- the "Init-Speed-091711.zip";
- the "update-capez-ICS-mod-ac-patch.zip"; !nightly specific: DO NOT install on another builds!
and if needed:
- the CM9_Kernel-signed.zip IF you're moving to CM7-Defy+ from a Froyo-based rom.
- the latest CM7 Gapps;
--> Wipe cache and Dalvik cache and reboot your phone.
Once booted up..
Now here's the hard one...: we have to replace the SystemUI.apk files onto your phone and set its proper permissions and ownerships.
Like for all the other tweaks involving file replacement, play it safe again and make a backup copy of the original files by renaming their file extensions (for example: to Whatever.bak or as whatever.apk_vo).
The thing is that this file cannot be deleted before pasting another one to replace it. If it is deleted or renamed, it can render your system unusable; so you've been warned!
That can be done using adb, but I prefer to just do this on the phone itself using Terminal Emulator and RootExplorer as explained here.
So 1st, place my modded SystemUI.apk on the root of your sd card [/sdcard/].
Open up Teminal Emulator from the app drawer and type the following:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount,rw /system/
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
Again this SystemUI replacement for transparent statusbar will work on this nightly ONLY.
*** and be careful here ***: once you do this last step, the launcher might crash or you might even get into an "error loop"; if you do, long press the power button and try to reboot between 2 errors popups OR just pull the battery out and reboot.
If you did not get into an error loop or if you've already rebooted, your status bar might be gone now; don't freak out!
--> Go set the permissions/ownership of the new SystemUI.apk in /system/app/
WITH Teminal Emulator again:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
mount -o remount,rw /system/
chmod 644 SystemUI.apk
chown 0.0 SystemUI.apk
OR
Using RootExplorer, navigate to: /system/app, make the folder writable by clicking the top-right corner buton "Mount R/W" and long press on the SystemUI.apk to select "Permissions" and (scroll down for) "Change owner" entries to set all of their options exactly like the other files in that folder.
Exit RootExplorer or Terminal
- Install my theme: AL_Theme_v18.apk (you will need to allow non-market app installation) and switch to it with CM7 ThemeChooser.
- Go in the phone settings ADWLauncher_System Preferences and UNCHECK Wallpaper Hack
-->> the transparent statusbar will work on the default ADW Laucher; with GO Launcher, you'll have to check the "High Quality Drawing" in its Advanced settings [thanks matchung]; for other launchers you might need to use a live wallpaper or other specific tweaks for this to work and it is up to you to search for it..
- Reboot and Voilà!: you should now have a transparent statusbar with my theme!!
For VoiceSearch:
- Extract and manually add/replace the 2 files from the VoiceSearch.zip:
- VoiceSearch.apk in /system/app
- libvoicesearch.so in /system/lib
--> Set the files' respective permissions and ownerships (you should know how by now...) and reboot.
[sorry for this: the VoiceSearch.zip only contains the 2 files; I thought that I had a cwm recovery update zip for it but I don't...I might create one later]
- Install Google Translate from the Market.
- Run Clock from your app drawer and press Menu Button-->Settings-->Alarm Screen--> select: Moto Blur.
- Enjoy!!
If you don't; wipe all in custom recovery and restore your nand backup and don't forget to also flash the CM7_Kernel-signed.zip if you go back to vanilla CM7 or other Froyo-based ROMs.
Notes:
- Again: the ICS transitions animations and the transparent statusbar tweaks are nightly dependent and will work only on the specified cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip - DO NOT install the update-capez-ICS-mod-ac-patch.zip or the new SystemUI.apk on other builds; it just won't work!
- These mods are all either optional, already in newer builds or might eventually get merged or trashed; this "guide" just was to share most of my current tweaks on that CM7-Defy+ build at this time (Jan 16th);
- I might add more tweaks later;
- I will not maintain this thread religiously and it is definitely NOT meant to be a helpdesk for all the problems you might have with CM7;
- I will not edit your SystemUI.apk (to have the transparent statusbar) or create the ICS transition patch for your specific build (see the link for a guide in the aknowlegments section for the ICS screen animation patcher from DaxInfinty and check post #2 for a guide on transparent statusbar);
- Commments, additional tweak recommendations and bugs RELATED to everything above are welcomed; otherwise, keep this thread clean please and don't spam or full-quote for no reason.
Tweaks that did not make it:
- Bravia Engine: no proof that it actual works and most likely missing libs and service from Sony to work - read this post
- GB 3D performance update; tried but Benchmarks showed no statistically relevant proof of improvement - read this post
Aknowledgements:
A 1000 Thanks go to:

And Motorola for making the incredible Defy phones and for their [hopefully soon to be gone] locked boot loader: you guys saved us 100's of hard bricked Defy over the last year or so [mine would most probably be one of those] and tons of RIP Defy post s here on xda
and who ever else I might have forgotten.

Since I've mentioned it...here it is!:
HOW TO modify the SystemUI.apk to get TRANSPARENT STATUS BAR on any CM7-Jordan build [and other cm7 builds for different phones].
* This has been verified to work at least with ADW Launcher, ADW-EX Launcher, GO Launcher and FTL launcher BUT READ the Notes at the very bottom of the post.
What you need:
- From the OP, you should now have 7-zip and RootExplorer installed; otherwise download from here and here;
- Download smali/baksmali files from here and put the 4 files in a new folder (for example: c:\smali) [which I will use in this guide];
- Download and install Notepad++ from here: - this is just an awesome text editor ;
Now let's do this:
0- Make a backup copy of your system and/or of the original SystemUI.apk file [from the /system/app directory].
1- With 7-zip installed, right-click on the zip of your current nightly and choose "7-Zip --> Open archive" [DO NOT extract it, just "Open Archive"] and navigate to: system/app and click and drag SystemUI.apk to your computer's desktop;
2- Repeat step 1 with the SystemUI.apk on your desktop and to find the file: classes.dex in the root folder of the apk. Select it and drag it (to make a copy of it) into your c:\smali directory (you can leave SystemUI.apk archive opened as we'll replace that file back in later on);
3- Open a CMD prompt (click Start and type: CMD) and type following 2 commands to decompile the classes.dex file:
Code:
cd c:\smali
java -jar baksmali-1.2.8.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
[*** --> Replace the "1.2.8" part by what ever file version you've downloaded]
** Do not close the CMD window just yet.
4- Go in the classout directory that was just created in c:\smali, and find the file named: StatusBarService.smali [in: c:\smali\classout\com\android\systemui\statusbar\] and open it with Notepad++;
5- Search for the line containing:
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
just above it, you will see: const/4 v5, 0×2 --> change that to: const/4 v5, -0×3
--> that line should be around line# 2223 for recent Defy and Defy+ cm7 nightly builds
6- Save the file and exit Notepad++;
7- Go back to your CMD prompt and enter this command to recompile the classes.dex file:
Code:
java -jar smali-1.2.8.jar classout -o classes.dex
[*** --> Don't forget to replace the "1.2.8" part by what ever file version you've downloaded]
8- Close your cmd window and slide the new classes.dex file back over your SystemUI.apk opened archive (drag and drop) and then close it.
Now the rest is just like in the OP:
To replace the SystemUI.apk on your phone:
So 1st, place the modded SystemUI.apk on the root of your sd card.
Open up Teminal Emulator from the app drawer and type the following:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/ #(<-- modify this accordingly if you've placed your new systemUI.apk else where)
mount -o remount,rw /system/
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
*** be careful here ***: once you do this last step, the launcher might crash or you might even get into an "error loop"; if you do, long press the power button and try to reboot between 2 errors popups OR just pull the battery out and reboot.
If you did not get into an error loop or if you've already rebooted, your status bar might be gone now; don't freak out!
--> Go set the permissions/ownership of the new SystemUI.apk in /system/app/
WITH Teminal Emulator again:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
mount -o remount,rw /system/
chmod 644 SystemUI.apk
chown 0.0 SystemUI.apk
OR
Using RootExplorer, navigate to: /system/app and long press on the SystemUI.apk to select "Permissions" and (scroll down for) "Change owner" entries to set all of their options exactly like the other files in that folder.
Exit RootExplorer or Terminal
Make sure to disable (UNCHECK) "Wallpaper Hack" in the phone settings ADWLauncher_System Preferences or "use High Quality Pictures" option if you use GO Launcher.
Reboot and enjoy!
Notes:
- Some of your widgets might need to be removed from your phone's screen and re-installed to display properly.
- Do not try to edit the systemUI.apk and incorporate it in the nightly zip before install; it won't work - it HAS TO be done on the phone after the nightly install has fully booted at least once.
- This will allow my theme or other transparent-enabled themes to work; I will add how to do this on the CM7 default themes (or any other) later maybe...
So for now, that's it!! - It wasn't too hard to do wasn't it?
ah!.. might as well finish this... :
This should probably have been at the beginning of the post but...
If you want the transparency on any theme (CM7 default themes at least), you might want to try the following:
Note: This will work at least on ADW Launcher, GO Launcher and FTL launcher [thanks lurkerPL ] - but keep reading as some launcher settings might be required.
All you need is to modify a few png images in the SystemUI.apk before replacing it onto the phone steps.
1- go to \SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ folder and drag this file out to your desktop:
statusbar_background.9.png
Optionally, do it for these 3 files also (which are for the notification pane pulldown background):
status_bar_background.9.png
shade_bg.png
status_bar_close_on.9.png
2- Open the PNG files in Paint.Net (nice and free: get it here ), [Gimp, Photoshop, or whatever your favorite image/picture editor capable of png transparency] and delete their background for fully transparent statusbar OR if you want semi-transparency; do that instead. in Paint.net, this is done by selecting: Layers_Layer properties..._Opacity value: 0-255.
--> I believe that I previously used something like 10% layer transparency for the first 2 files and 25% for the last 2 but you'll have to find what king of semi-transparency you prefer.
3- Go on and replace those modified PNG files back into the SystemUI.apk [\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ folder Opened archive] by just dragging them over their original folder [7-zip again].
Go on with the SystemUI.apk replacement and reboot.
Notes:
- you might have to play around and switch theme with the ThemeChoser.
- again: don't forget to disable Wallpaper Hack in ADWLauncher settings_System preferences or "use High Quality Pictures" option with GO Launcher.

I have a green lensed Defy.
If I install the nightly from this post and then flash the greenbreadmod, will I have all features back? Or it is incompatible? Thanks

Just from memory, I believe that Walter79 has already confirmed that this wouldn't work for the green lens Defy on CM7 Defy+ ; you'd still have no camera.
But you can try other tweaks from the package and my theme...

Nice that you've taken the time to do this! Great Work!
I, kind sir, salute you!
EDIT: Hey AL, there's no voicesearch.zip in your pack, so i just included the files in the GAPPS.zip.
BTW, loved the icon for device settings... but the theme is to BLUR-ish for my taste...

nice thread Al. one little question.. your tweak with overlay.omap3.so and camera.apk not work in newest build than 13. december, right? i thing i try this change, and it didn't work..

Oupsy! I knew I would have screwed up somewhere.. Fixed now with a new tweaks zip. Thanks for pointing that out - nice move to over come it Now there is a zip with the 2 required files for VoiceSearch but it is NOT a CWM recovery update... so this have to be manually added or done with your gapps zip trick.
You mean the icon for CyanogenMod settings? Blurrish yes (It's based on GingerBlur afterall) but I do like the big -changing color- icons for the notification power widgets..

Thanks also. You are correct: Dec15th, Dec23rd and Jan9th Defy+ nightly builds all have problems with camera even with the tweak. So that's why I did all this with that nightly.

I've just edited post #2 for a how to on getting a transparent statusbar on any CM7 nightly build and theme (hopefully).
I've just added a second tweaks pack including the battery charging fix for Defy+ owners (and for possible future tweaks).

Like I've expected and mentioned on the OP, the latest CM7 nightly by Epsylon3 is now including the ICS screen transition animations AND the screen rotation animations [which is awesome].
It's a very good build for both green and red lens owners and have a few other improvements as described here.
One problem remains though: the camera zoom doesn't work once the video recording has started and that can be fixed by replacing the Camera.apk from my first tweak pack only - no need to replace the overlay.omap3.so.
Finally, I'm attaching the tweaked SystemUI.apk for transparent statusbar for THAT specific nightly below - just follow the instructions on the OP to replace that file [that should work with my theme and with CM7 default themes as well].

I tried your methods from the second post. Works great. Have a Zte Blade running CM7 and Adw Ex.
Thanks a lot.

Anyone know if I could work in Launcher Pro (LP)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've never used Launcher Pro myself, but from what I've read on this -and as strange as it sounds- it requires the use of a live wallpaper for the transparency to work.
People have suggested to use something like the Live Walpaper Creator app and to make a one-slide-only live wallpaper (thus making it a static picture and minimizing the battery use/system sluggishness) to allow the transparent statusbar.
I just enjoy ADW Launcher's customizable swipe gestures too much to try LP. Swype up on any homescreen to switch off the display is really great...

Just added to the OP: flashable zips for TouchWiz style Calendar and semi-transparent MMS.apk-no smileys.
Details here: Calendar.apk, MMS.apk - please read before flashing.
And bonus!..why not!? here's a link for the very nice looking [sec pic] semi-transparent PlayStore from Pendo - that I've modded so that it stays at v3.4.7: Pendo's v3.4.7 semi-trans Vending.apk - no auto-update
Cheers!
A few reminders:
I post all this for my own recollection and easy access mainly [and your enjoyment hopefully ]. I make no guarranties and take no liability for any side effects if you chose to try tany of those mods: that being monetary, physical, software/hardware-wise or any other...
So make your backups first - you've been warned !!
Be a respectful xda forum member and follow up the links that I gave (and will always try to give) to the original modder/poster's thread and go give thanks there - don't just be a leech .

[ROM] NardROM 0.4 UCL9 (not supported)

Note, I have moved to the Galaxy S Relay 4G. I still have a Glide but there will be no further development here.
Welcome to NardROM. I want to remind you that flashing this may void your warranty. Use at your own risk. This ROM is experimental. It is fully functioning but some things are works in progress.
Read post 2 to find out how this differs from stock. This ROM is based on the L9 build of ICS, but contains smidgens of Gingerbread (the modem, and the keyboard light controller, and the startup animation), as well as the LH2 kernel.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A NEW INSTALL:
1. Flash the official ICS using Kies or Odin. You may be able to skip this step but it's best to start clean.
2. Install CWMR from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766533 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458153
I personally use version 5.
3. Copy the NardROM 0.2 and the 0.4 files to your phone's internal storage.
4. Flash the NardROM 0.2 with CWMR. This step will wipe your installed apps so make backups with Titanium. DO NOT RESTORE DATA ON SYSTEM APPS. Your definition of a system app can vary from Samsung's, for example, Facebook is a system app to Samsung
5. Reboot phone.
6. At the prompt do set up your phone, instead, reboot back into CWMR.
7. Flash NardROM 0.4
8. Reboot.
9. Click next.
10. Tap your screen to prevent it from going to sleep and grant phone superuser access.
11. Enjoy your new phone.
12. If you wish to use Toggle 2G, you should set it to "Data off to switch"
Upgrade instructions:
NardROM 0.1: Follow instructions for new install, above
NardROM 0.2 or 0.3: Just flash the update
NardROM 0.2
NardROM 0.4

Well feel free to bug test for me, and add ideas. And borrow stuff from me is fine. Themes are where most roms differ anyway. My theme is "stock" for now.

well i installed and running GREAT! testing a few things will report back... also anyone wanting if u have to readd CWM u do not it doesnt wipe that. idk if nard said that or not

Are the deodexed files here otherwise unchanged from stock? I've been meaning to deodex the stock rom so I could get around to removing the carrier branding in the status bar, but if you've already done the work...

added nova launcher and OMG its super nice... just an idea is put nova as default and take out TW launcher.. IMO

They're also re-signed. Mixing system apks with different signatures might cause problems. In any case let me know what you discover in that regard and I'll throw it into the ROM.

Forgot to mention one thing: Need to set Toggle 2G to "Data off to switch" to get it to work.

[MOD][GApps] Modded by LaboDJ v2.1 // SuperSLIM v2.1

Hi everybody,
I made a very light & clean modded GApps package for Android 4.2.x, for people who don't like some google crap or with low /system space.
I used many GApps packages I found on XDA to make this one that fits perfectly for me and works with fishears Rom I use.
49MB LaboDJ Normal GApps
22MB LaboDJ Slim GApps
Vs. 123Mb original One
Which base I used?
It contains 20130301 Base mixed to the latest apps I found
Mods:
- Google Play Store 3.10.14 (mods: noupdate norestrictions nosig-aligned, multi dpi, no more ugly smiley icon)
- Google Maps v6.14.1 (mods: full accelerated version, Samsung TTS voice navigation support + world navigation)
- YouTube v4.3.9 (Black Theme, HD Playback, Screen-off Playback)
Removed from GApps:
- PicoTTS
- Face Unlock (+ lib libfilterpack_facedetect.so)
- News & Weather
- Google Talk (+ libs libgtalk_jni.so, libgtalk_stabilize.so)
- Google TalkBack
- Google Sound Search
- Quick Search Box
- Voice Search (+ usr folder)
- TTS Folder (use Google TTS instead)
- Photoshphere (doesn't work with i9000)
Reworked Scripts:
- Removed install-optional.sh
- Added remove-folders.sh (it removes some folder from your system... read below)
- Reworked updater-script to make it work (it also remove many apk from your system... read below)
- Reworked 70-gapps.sh adapting it to the changes
The Package will also remove some apps & folders from your system automatically:
- /system/media/video (sample videos?)
- /system/tts (Use google tts instead, trust me it's better)
- Apollo (use Google play music from market instead)
- Basic Dreams
- Calendar (google calendar is better, already in Gapps)
- CMFileManager (I prefer root explorer from market)
- CMFileManagerThemes
- CMUpdater (If are u using CM ROMs I think it's better CyanDelta Updater from Market)
- DSPManager (I think Voodoo sound is better, from market)
- Exchange2 (Never used it)
- Galaxy 4 (Live wallpaper)
- HoloSpiralWallpaper (Live wallpaper)
- HTMLViewer (Never used it)
- LiveWallpapers (I don't use them)
- LiveWallpapersPicker (See above)
- MagicSmokeWallpapers (Junk)
- NoiseField (Junk)
- PhaseBeam (Junk)
- PhotoTable
- PicoTts
- QuickSearchBox (Trebuchet has already its own bar)
- VideoEditor.apk (Slow & useless)
- /system/lib/libvideoeditorplayer.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_core.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_jni.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_osal.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_videofilters.so
- /system/usr/srec
- /system/vendor/pittpatt
...
SuperSLIM version changes from Normal version:
- 21.7MB
- Updated Scripts to make them work
- Removed apps & replacements:
CalendarGoogle -> Default Calendar from your ROM instead
Gmail2 -> Classic Email from you ROM instead or Gmail .zip attached
GoogleNow -> Download from market if you need it
GoogleTTS -> If you need it there is a .zip attached
Maps -> Download from market or flash modded .zip attached if you need it.
StreetView -> Download from market if you need it.
YouTube -> Download from market or flash modded .zip attached if you need it.
- I also made modular packages named with ss_, if you use SuperSlim Version use ss_ packages otherwise something will go wrong (you can use normal GoogleTalk package).
If you use Normal vesion DON'T use ss_ packages!
If you use SuperSlim Version please first reflash your ROM .zip
If you need things such:
live wallpapers, video editor, themes, google news & weather, talk, voice search... I'll make sigle packages to add them, making GApps Modular
FIRST TIME INSTRUCTIONS:
- update your rom if you need to
- install this package
UPGRADING ROM AND WANT TO LEAVE MY GAPPS (and addon) UNTOUCHED?
- update your rom
- install Remove_Junk.zip
IF YOU NEED APPS I REMOVED
- I attached some of them at the end of the post
- flash them in recovery
- if you need to remove .zip you added manually just flash Remove_Added.zip
EG: you flash my Gapps, you flash Google_Talk.zip, you want to remove Gtalk? Just Flash Remove_Added.zip, it will remove only my "modular" package you added
IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL GAPPS
- Update your ROM (or install the same zip you have)
- install classic GApps
- clear cache & Dalvik cache
Some Apps are modded so if you update them you'll lose mods
EG: Don't update Google Maps if you don't want to lose the mods.
:good:New MODULAR Installer OUT! It contains all default apps!
It installs GApps core files automatically, then you can choose which apps to ADD and which to REMOVE.
VERY EASY!
Modular GApps Thread HERE:good:
I don't take any responsibility for improper use, or for damage, I'm currently using them on Galaxy S i9000 powered by Fishears ROM.
I tested them on CM10.1 and work well.
It should works on every device with android 4.2.x
Anyway Use @ your own risk.
Downloads:
V2.0 HERE
V2.0 SuperSlim HERE
V2.1 HERE
V2.1 SuperSlim HERE

Yes, it should work, anyway there are some problems:
If you flash these you'll lose DSPManager (audio driver from cyanogenmod team)
I replaced it with Voodoo sound (that works good with i9000)
If you don't use dspmanager so you shouldn't have any problem.
If you are on stock rom and you haven't a .zip containing your actual rom it wold be boring replace all system apps to revert back to "normal" state.
(Maybe a simply nandroid backup of /system folder only should do the trick, I'm pretty sure)
Nothing else.
Try and let me know!

I agree with nearly all of your decisions.
Not removing E-Mail and theme chooser would be nice.
Think i can modify the script myself, will have a look.
But i think it's easier to provide addon packages for people wanting stuff like gtalk...

Yep, I agree with you, but I currently don't know how to make a .zip for only an app.
The only problem is that I have to insert a line in system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh with the path of apk and libs.
This is the file that backup and restore your gapps when you upgrade a rom.
If you can help me this way, making modular zip, we can call these first modular gapps.
EDIT: Idea!
I don't know if I add all possible GApps in 70-gapps.sh it would return error when upgrading rom or not... If not I'll make a new .zip with full 70-gapps, and many little .zip for single apps.

Re: [GApps] Modded by LaboDJ
So a restructured gapps is dev related these days?

I think these GApps are very useful. Especially with an old smartphone like Galaxy S.
Many apks I removed eat a lot of resources/space/batteries.
And many users haven't time/knowledge to make this mods.
Think before you write, if I did this is not for the glory but to help so many people who simply have my own needs
Maybe wrong section, yes... but keep calm, I didn't killed anyone

Done...see first post.
Now there will be 2 .zip one with Gtalk and one without it.
When I have time I'll test the other method (modular GAPPS)

I agree with nearly all of your decisions.
Not removing E-Mail and theme chooser would be nice.
Think i can modify the script myself, will have a look.
But i think it's easier to provide addon packages for people wanting stuff like gtalk...

I agree - I'd like the theme chooser back. Is there any easy way like installing via playstore? But this is really great! I love it to 99%.
