Delete, please (double post)

I have been searching this long time and as nobody seem interested, try to do it by myself, but my knowledge is very limited and hasn't been able to make transparent the scroolable background....
There is, anyway, a black version out here, so it shouldn't be that dificult to change it to transparent.
In case someone with a little experience want to try, I attach cwm zips for both versions regular (white) and inverted (black)

I have already read better instructions here at XDA and also follow it without problems, being able to make transparent top and bottom ofthe widget (9.png files), but I'm nearly new in Android and unable to find the way to make transparent the scrollable background (where the messages list reside) and also to change text of messages to white.
I suppose that colours for that are defined in xlm files and search for it inside the apk folders, but none of the changes I made works.
Maybe the fellow who make the inverted version could send some light for us...

Sorry, but I haven't made the Inverted version. I get it in the Gmail 4.2 leak thread where it was posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32764939&postcount=41
And credits goes there to travp624, but I haven't find any post by this guy regarding the mod.
Maybe latter will try to find his profile and PM him for advice...

(Request) Holo black drop down menu/notification drawer for CM10

Hey guys.. so using (quite a lot) few different themes and flashables I nearly have a fully inverted CM10 ROM running now. The only thing I'm really missing now to complete my look is a proper holo black (transparent or not I don't mind) drop down status bar. Any of you fellow xda peeps know where I can find a flashable that will just theme the drop down only?
Cheers

I always just pull my SystemUI.apk and replace notification_header_bg.9.png and notification_panel_bg.9.png to make a fully blacked out (not transparent) drop down menu/status bar.

Step by step? I'm not that technical lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, and use a program like 7Zip or WinRAR to copy/paste the pngs in this zip (https://www.box.com/s/rzisk7efjj21r4bqunvz) to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder in the apk. Then paste the changed SystemUI.apk back to your system/app folder, set permissions, and reboot. That should give you a status bar that's completely blacked out (see attached screenshot).
As always, take precautions before doing this, just in case something got messed up along the way.
Much appreciated dude I shall no doubt get stuck lol.. god I love this place

i'm a newbie at this. when you say to change it from inside the XML file, do you mean to change the color using MS paint, for example? can you explain how to do this?

If you're a newbe, I suggest hitting up Google and learning about the basics in android decompiling apks and XML format.

but dont they simply have a theme for that calendar? you know which one i'm talking about? its a dark/black theme that came in the galaxy S2.. i'm 99% sure theres a theme for it here that you can just simply install.
To make it as simple as possible look up this thread named JusTunBeans inverted apps. Has all what you need on there and comes as an aroma setup to.

As stated above, you will need to learn some things in order to get this. But give Android Pro Widgets a try. There's a ton of cool calendar widget themes for the paid version.

I've never played with a S2, but Gmail Widgets by KATZOFT has some nice dark themes. I really like it.

Emoji on Touchwiz

I was looking for a way to get Emoji on stock touchwiz roms and have found a way. It works, I didn't flash it I only opened zip and transferred files over manually (same as flash?) however, it is working. I think it made my message app fc sometimes but its very uncommon and it may have nothing to do with this mod. All credit goes to the original dev please give thanks there! Also you can see the emojis throughout the system not just messaging app however, only colorful emoji are shown in messaging app otherwise they are black and white outlines. If anybody knows how to fix this let me know or do it and share.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922104
Also as you can see its for the galaxy s3 i9305 so if any devs can look into and make necessary changes (if needed) to make this a US variant mod, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated. Anyways thanks for reading and hope I helped!
ps. sorry if this is in the wrong section!
would this enable you to see the ones iPhone users use?

Yea my girl has an iphone and she sends me emoji all the time (reason why looked for this mod). The only thing is that the color emoji will only show in the messaging app and they will be black and white crap everywhere else. Including the text box in the keyboard even when using the keyboard in the messaging app.
Dude yes I want emoji!!!!!

follow guide in the link, it works in the messaging app. You will still have to use the emoji keyboard in play store but they will actually show up instead of a blank space.
Emoji is now built into the UVDLJC build, no need to flash any files.
Synergy rom has an emoji keyboard basically its just a keyboard where you can enter tons of emoji's

Any apps that are not inside of a zip need to have root access in order to flash to your system partition. The ones that are simple apks like DropBox you install like any other app.

That was one of my favy apps to do back in the day but then Google made the coding almost impossible to build properly for theming. Heck I am bored and can give it another try LOL.

That tinted transparent looks nice! Thanks for checking into it. Would it be possible to go completely transparent, as in only words, no border or anything?
You mean like this? I made the widget completely transparent and the app itself inverted for easier viewing, enjoy!
You will not be able to install this like any apk. I themed this to work as a system/app so you will have to make a folder inside your system/app folder named GenieWidget (exaclty like this). Then take my apk and place it inside this folder, change permissions to rw-r-r, and reboot.

Thank you, looks and works great. Can I also get the dark tinted apk? The news and weather widget has been a staple of my home screen forever and I haven't had a modded widget in a long time. Again, really appreciate your work.
That full transparent widget may be a little too clear huh LOL,,, here is the one with half transparency LOL. You can flash it or extract the apk and place it in the folder, set permissions and reboot, enjoy!

Well I usually like really dark backgrounds to give a good contrast to everything on the screen so the transparent works well with that and looks so clean.. but if I'm using anything lighter than say dark grey, its nice to have the darker tinted widget as well. Appreciate the flashable!

This is amazing! Just curious: why can't it be installed like a regular app? What is different about this apk? News and Weather installs just like any other app nowadays so I am curious why this can't just be installed as another app.
I ask because I would love to install this on my s8 (which is famously non-rooted).
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm also curious how you are going about changing the code for a not-open-source Google app.
Good question and it has to do with altering the source apk and signing,,,after it is themed and compiled it must be flashed as a system app in order to work otherwise it will f/c or not even install at all. If you want this exact type of apk and widget you can download anyone of my themes below and its on them both and can be used on the S8 unrooted.
