Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the Sense Lock screen notifications to a darker material colour? I haven’t been able to find anything and don't really love the light grey.
Also, is there any way to change the Sense lockscreen app icons? I know how to change the apps and their order but I’m looking to change the icons for these apps shown on the lockscreen. Once again I haven’t been able to find anything.
I have looked around for xposed modules to do these two things but haven’t had any luck.
I also realize I could change the lock screen to a 3rd party one but they don’t seem to place nicely with the alarm when it goes off (doesn’t show screen with dismiss or snooze) or they only seem to launch a half ass version of the camera when swiping into it from there.
Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finally found a solution to my question about changing lockscreen icons. Unicon Beta will do the trick if anyone else is interested.

I'm trying out Touchwiz again after using AOKP for a while and I'm liking it, the only issue is how can I show the lockscreen before entering my PIN? I want my phone to be secure but I hate not having a seeing the actual lockscreen. Anyway around this? Also, does anyone know how to make the status bar clock font any smaller? It takes up way too much space.

nothing you can really do about it as far as the clock goes, maybe if you install a smaller font in the display section.
As far as lockscreen before pin, TouchWiz does not have that option, that was only on AOKP and CM9 roms.
If you don't mind a third-party solution, I just checked GoLocker, and it shows the swipeable lockscreen before you have to enter your PIN.
And I agree with abesgs2; your best bet is a new font for the statusbar time.
Maybe you could find a way not to display it through a ROM hack and instead install an app that displays the clock there, but I don't know anything about that.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my Galaxy S2.
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.
Hello. I hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Xperia Z went bust after two years of faithful service and yesterday I took a risk and picked up the Huawei P8lite. The phone is absolutely gorgeous, but I am having some issues with Nova Launcher.
First off, the soft keys and notification bar aren't transparent. They are when I use the stock launcher (so the device is obviously capable of doing so), and they were on my Xperia Z using Nova Launcher. Non-transparent soft keys and notification bar makes the screen look smaller and cluttered, which utterly spoils the overall experience.
Is there a way around this? If I root the phone, can this be fixed? I have never rooted a device before so if this helps, where can I find the run-down on rooting?
Second, changing icons. When I try to change an icon on the homescreen (again, with Nova Launcher) only a handful of icons from the icon pack shows up on the list. There are clear gaps in the list where a bunch of icons should be.
Again, these were both non-issues on my Xperia Z.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix these things? For the icons I realize I can use an app like Icon Changer, but with Nova Launcher I shouldn't have to. And as for the soft key and notification bar I realize I can hide them entirely, but I don't want to do that. I just want them to be transparent.
I greatly appreciate any help. I'm on Android 5.0, and I can post screenshots if needed.
Okay, so the phone got an update the other day and that fixed the problem with the icons.
However, the soft keys (and less importantly, the notification bar) still aren't transparent. Does anyone know what to do about this?
You know you live in the first world when this drives you insane
try different themes if that helps !!

In Settings go to the navigation control and it should be to the left on the switch. Move it to the right. Not only did that make the Nav bar clear, but also allows me to hide it.
Hope it helps.
After numerous tries, I finally figured out HTC themes and Maker Pro to simply change dialer color and lock screen clock. I must be really dumb because this seemed so difficult.
There is nothing intuitive about changing lock screen clock or dialer when you want to use what you find in another HTC custom theme or even your own. I finally found a clue in an older HTC 10 thread.
If anyone knows of a short tutorial, let me know as I would like to reference it here. Maybe Google will squash this train wreck of a theming app for pure Android.
FYI, I am using Flick Launcher beta which I like but it doesn't change dialer or lock screen. If other launchers will change stock dialer color and lock screen clock, let me know.

FYI, I am using the ported Google dialer found in XDA. Very good replacement.
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
