[Q] Remove Apps Icon Shadow - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA community!
I'm new to the forums and I've found many great things here
I've started this thread to seek some help regarding a problem. I recently discovered a little bug in KitKat ROM (TouchWiz 4.4.2) where for a split second you can see that the shadows behind the icons is vanishing. I actually like the idea of removing the shadows behind the apps but I couldn't find a way to do so.
This bug is a little stranger because when the shadow is gone, there's this overlay of the status bar that appears out of nowhere.
I tried to modify different files from SecLauncher3.apk, like \res\values\styles.xml or color.xml but I couldn't get it done.
I don't like to use launchers so please don't recommend any.
TL;DR I need help to remove the shadow behind the apps and remove the overlay of the status bar.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this!
Sorry for my bad English.
Regards

How do you hide the Quick Contact icon overlay

Hi all,
I asked this in Q&A and got no response so I hope it's OK to ask here...
I have a lot of quick contacts and after upgrading to froyo, they now have a speech bubble overlay on the icon that I'd like to disable/hide. What's the easiest way to go about hiding it?
Thanks!
im curious as well. I restored my screen on Launcher pro and the icons i restored dont have any overlay but any new icon i add has one.
I'd think it'd be easy as finding that overlay graphic and replacing it with a blank one, but I don't know how to do this.

[Q] Captivate Status Bar Icons??

I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize for doing it again, but I couldn't really find anything helpful. I want to change the status bar icons without having to use LP, ADW, UOT kitchen, etc. to the icons that the Captivate (AT&T) and a few other Samsung devices have. I'm fairly certain this would be possible, but I'm not sure where to start, and every thread I've looked at isn't much help, so if anyone here could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!

[REQ]Help centering TouchWiz Launcher's all apps icon

I know everyone has their own preferences and reasons for using a particular launcher, but I love the smoothness of the stock launcher and have modded mine enough that to me it is just as good as any other launcher. My only issue now is the placement of the all apps icon. I've been working for about a week and a half trying to find the code that forces the icon to the far right and have come so close to pinning it down but still haven't found a solution. I know that it could easily be fixed in the ICS seclauncher, but the JB one seems to use a completely different method of putting that icon in a foreign layout position.
I've been reading the actual java code in eclipse on one screen, and making my smali edits on another. Logcatting has been the most help, but now I'm totally stumped. If anyone else has attempted this, please share any info you might have.

[Q] Changing Touchwiz icons

Hi guys,
Searched a bit this morning and found a few awesome icon packs I would like to try out with my current touchwiz launcher. The problem is: I have no idea how. After a quick search I came across a program called Unicon but I'm searching for a "free" way of changing my icons.
Is there a way to change the Icons by modding some files?
Thanks in advance,
Kaïn
Sorry for being a noob, found the solution, thread can be closed.

status bar icons colours

Hi Guys/Gals,
Very long time since I posted here and it's good to be back.
I've done what feels like plenty of searching and can't find an answer, soooooo
Have we a way to change the colour of the status bar icons ? I have a dark wallpaper and the icons disappear in to it.
When I was last active we were using 3minit framework, and from the searching I've done they seemed to have ceased production.
If I've missed anything in my searching just give me a bridge and point me in the right direction.
Cheers
I use nova launcher, since my S3, it has the option to make status bar transparent or solid, and light or dark icons, I find it very useful for situations like you describe

3 minit framework still exist on rooted custom roms. You're out of luck unless you are rooted.
Cheers Pal,
I'll look into getting it done
