Where to get a clear clock and clear background - HTC EVO 3D

I have searched and searched, but cannot not find a clear clock and clear background, that is the only thing i miss on my evo 4g was the mods of clear clock and clear backgrounds, I can find clear base but the clock is not clear. I'd like to be able to see my whole wallpaper. any help would be greatly appreciated .

Hey bro, using the stock HTC clock widget? If you are, there is no way to get it transparent. If you make the flip background transparent, it will not turn out due to the time being in layers. We have tried to make it transparent and no luck because you can't read it. You can make the background transparent if you decompile a skin apk and use the M10 tool on it. I really hope this answered your question!!

Thanks for the response, here is the link the clear clocks for the evo 4g I was hoping these guys had moved over to the evo 3d and come up with a solution. LOL Sigh i'll just be happy with the clock I have. Thanks again.

No problem! Ill look at these and see if there is any way to port them over. Give me about a day and Ill get back with you.

the glass skin for the evo 3d has a clear flip clock, but the pages the numbers are on are black

Use the App beautiful Widget, it gives you the option to make the cloack and weather background clear. I am currently doing a nandroid so I can install a new ROM, but when I am done, I will post a screen shot

+1 for beautiful widgets

HTC Sense 3.0 skins for download..?

Anyone know if there are any sense 3.0 skins for the EVO 3D in the works? Perhaps any from the Sensation that can be ported as they are both running the same sense 3.0..? I know the skins for the older sense would work for the thunderbolt and other devices alike like the desire HD.
u mean ones other than that are in the HTC hub section?

correct. I have seen them in the past for the Desire HD and it was a simple APK install and added them to the same place that it ads from the HTC hub. Would love to have a transparent dock. Especially since I remember seeing one on a review EVO 3D video but it never shipped on it.
Transparent dock..
I made one for 3.0 to see if i could or not.... I have some I created for older sense that are on the market. Steelers one and such, but sense 3.0 has got me stuck on the navbar. I found, edited and installed a custom skin on my EVO 3d, but i cannot locate the navbar png to edit it. I think its in the m10 file but i can't seem to decompile it. Basically I've successfully made a skin for sense 3.0, but i can't change navbar png. All others I have been able to.

I know its got to be in the MusicLover.apk somewhere as that skin changes the navbar.... Just don't know where help please

Are you able to make one with a modded rosie? I would love a skin that is basically stock just with the semi transparent rosie as pictured in the post above. A semi transparent black status bar would be awesome too but... I'd be happy with the rosie and I would be happy to donate to the cause.
Definitely waiting on custom skins. Once they start coming, we'll have so many options to give our 3vo's a more personal touch.
I CAN do transparent status bar, but the rosie... I cannot locate the image in skin files to edit. I believe it is in an m10 file somewhere. It's not where it was in the sense 2.0 roms
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using the XDA Premium App.
Without root, the only way for us to theme is through skins. So I'm doing my best to get some done. But its pointless to me if i can't change the rosie (aka navbar.png). That's like the most important one. And i can't find the damn image in the apks !

I have skins for sense 2.0 in the market. Search "Vasilisin" and u will see my work.... I just wish i could figure out the navbar for this sense 3.0. Grrrrr

Can you post the musiclovers.apk file? I'd be happy to help look for the rosie files.
Is there really no way to change the Customize dock button? Only thing that's pissing me off about Sense 3.0.

I'm at work right now.... I can later. I'll post the one I started to edit. I didn't edit all the files, but some i did. Wish i could find the damn rosie image !
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using the XDA Premium App.
There is a way to customize it, but i can't find the image in any if the skins I've decompiled. I need to find it to edit it. If we can find it then we can edit it. So for instance when u apply music lover the dock changes. If i can find that image in musiclover apk i can make it whatever we want and TADA !! lol

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15025684 page12 is where the skin I edited is. Can't edit rosie. It's black and grey colors. I didn't change status bar, but i can... I found that png. Just no navbar (rosie)
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using the XDA Premium App.
The original apk had no port folder in res?
Nope. No sense 3.0 skins do. In assets there is a drawable musiclover then shared.m10. It HAS to be in there. Where the heck else would it be. I mean it HAS to be in the music lover apk somewhere. It was in sense 2.0 like ur saying

Edit: and FYI I used mode10 and looked in that m10 file.. no png found. All .dat files.
Are there skins that change the notification bar available now? I use LPP, so I don't care about the rosie. But I hate that green battery icon

We can only change color or transparency of the statusbar. Can't change icons like battery without root.

[THEME] White Hot for GSM

Hello there people!
I've been busy trying to make the White Hot theme from HERE compatible with the GSM versions of the phone. I did my best since its the first time I'm doing these kinda things, Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do:
(I've made this with KingCobra 1.4 ROM, not sure how it works on other GSM roms, feel free to test and let me know how it works please)
Let me know what u think about the theme, thanks!
All credits to pstevep & il Duce for making the original theme!
Also credits to Mayfield103, he thought me the first steps of beginning the progress!
Features/Changelog by pstevep:
- Based mostly on "warm 2.3".
- All of the sense widgets are outlined with hot white lines.
- HTC weather clock is the "gomorrah clock".
- App drawer is dark transparent.
- Rosie navbar has white icons.
- Lockscreen dockbar is clear.
- Lockring is white hot.
- Removed music widget animation.
- Added more whites.

DOWNLOAD
ENJOY!!​
looks good
just some FYI, our changelog isn't quite yours lol. Like, you didn't remove down_animation. Do you actually have the custom window transitions? Your lockscreen DOES have both bubbles and text under the icons. You don't have the lock_carrier.txt mod. You don't have bootscootv2 in there either.
LOL that sounds like I'm a douche I'm really just trying to help your OP lol.
Anyway, you DID customize ALL the statusbar icons white to match the theme.
You also DID customize the dropdown background to non-transparent.
You DID make it compatible with zeus mods.
Just trying to help, again nice job!
Very nice job nerotix ill try asap many thanks bro

weather: that bg is in - Idlescreen_Weather.apk. If you decompile with m10 tools it's in the m10 that's something like "weather_bg.m10" - there are 3 images in there you need to change. Add a custom one, it's more fun. Must be a .png image and sized exactly 540x960, and flip it upsidedown
Btw meant to say this sooner, good job on porting this man.. Glad you got everything working.. Looks good so far..

Hi there.
I recently upgraded to King Cobra v1.5 and I downloaded this theme and put it on my SD card.
I flashed it by installing from zip in CWM and then rebooted.
However I don't notice the changes?
Do I still have to change some settings on the phone somewhere?
Sorry, this is my first time trying to install a theme.

Thanks for the tip but I don't think so. My skin has always been on default. Is it maybe an issue with the new king cobra v1.5? I see in the op it was tested only up to 1.4

I only say that because I have seen some roms default to a different skin. It did it to me, but the rom defaulted to something other than default.

Would it change anything? Would it cause problems? etc.

If what you're looking for is the menu that pops up when hitting the "menu" button from the homescreen then you can find a rounded corners menu popup from the red alliance theme by team d3rp in the 800% skittle thread.

I will make an update zip with a darker background for people who have white backgrounds to use.
The issue I'm having is my pulldown doesn't look like the one in the skull pics. My notification backgrounds are white as well as my letters so all I have to go on is the box and the icon for the quick settings. The actual pulldown is clear until i get a notification and its that background that is white. The only changes I've made to 2.5 is a little desensifying.... That wouldn't be the difference would it? Any chance you could repost the notification fix you had out for the previous theme? In my haste I deleted it before I installed 1.2.

I am not sure what exactly is happening. if you flashed over evrything It might not be playing nice. If you could tell me what files you took out for desensifing the rom that would help me out a lot in trying to fix this. I will post an update later that you can flash that might fix this. I am at work but when I get home later tonight I will post an update for this. I know this might be a pain but it would realy help me out, if you were to wipe and do a fresh flash of the rom and then flash the new theme to make sure it works right, and then desensify and see if that causes the problem or not. It might be a matter of the new theme did not flash over somthing nicely and you may need to do a fresh install. I will be on later tonight and will be able to do more then. sorry for the problems.
Not a problem.... I don't mind at all. And you don't owe me any apologies. You're the one contributing to the community. I really appreciate your efforts. Ill report back as soon as I get it all back on.
Thanks again for the response. Also, before I installed the latest I was running the previous release and it seemed fine. Not sure if it matters.

I tried it a couple different ways with no success...
Wipe, install rom, theme, and then desensed then boot. Lost the entire notification bar.
Then I wiped, installed rom, booted, installed theme then desensed and still no luck. This time I had the bar but still had white background and white text on the notifications. But the pulldown was transparent.
Lastly I did a full wipe then installed the rom then the theme and kept it totally stock and still had the same result

Disappointing Android theming capabilities

(I'm talking about stock ROMs.)
When people talk about Android customizability they say it's highly customizable and about making it unique...
But I don't see this. Of course you can replace your home screen / launcher software installing alternatives... And with them you are able to even customize icons, change the home screen experience a lot, etc, but go to a system or app menu and everything looks as before.
But there aren't any status bar / notification area replacements. And lock screen replacements never work as intended (I've tested a few that all they do is block the default one into coming into action, also when you receive a call it will display on the screen already unlocked and in some devices home button is able skip them), stock notification toggles customization is only available from latest LG Optimus UI and Samsung I guess...
The other main disappointment is the fixed color for menus. Apparently no matter what you do, Android holo with this blue "highlighter" is the only color available. No matter what HTC skin you pick, some menus and notifications will be highlighted in a holo blue or default green tone when you tap them. The keyboard suggestions are aways in the green variety, and these are the only two colors to see.
It's weird. My featurephone before EVO 3D was a Sony Ericsson w300i and the themes changed much more interface elements, there was even an official theme creator from Sony so you could make themes your own for this model and many others, it didn't require "root" or anything.
Do you feel the same about it?
You're clearly not looking into themes that well, I've been able to customize my phone in every aspect I can think of. Look into Metamorph, it's quite worth it.
Is this guy serious???

Well halo blue? I'm thinking we need to know a little bit more about you device before anything goes down.

I'm referring to the Android's default dark holo theme which has blue accents when making menu selection, etc, and is the "default" next to the white holo theme.
My phone is the HTC EVO 3D.
What I'm saying is that theming only applies to an extent of the UI, leaving other elements un-skinnable, looking the default mixed with some colors or texture. It isn't a matter of launchers, what I mean is I can choose any HTC skin and the holo blue and some green elements won't go away... So, the HTC skin can make some elements pink for example but I'm stuck with some pre-defined colors like when tapping a notification some will glow green others pink, on some apps like Facebook and Twitter just for example the menus will be in the default Android colors (dark or white + blue accent applied to the command you're pressing), the stock keyboard will still highlight suggestions in green, etc, so this kind of experience isn't completely customizable... Some HTC skins simply won't fit because black will be ruling everything (the notifications area having the "title" in pink and the part you hold to "pull" skinned but the rest completely black, etc) instead of a nice background texture.
In a way I agree. There isn't much that appeals to me with the sense roms. There are some themes but not many and they really don't seem to change a whole lot. I've tried some cyanogenmod roms (paranoid android was my favorite) and I was very happy with all the themes and options I had, but the problem was that 3D didn't work, and that, into opinion is a perk of this device. I'm not too crazy for sense but I've decided to stay with the sense roms because everything works as it should normally. I do what I can using UCCW and other personalization apps. Hope you find something that works for you and you enjoy.

there is a thread somewhere in the themes and apps section that let's you alter the notification bar icons and backgrounds, I think the op is Jmz or something. Check that out.

Well try a viper Rom! The viper tweaks are absolutely amazing! And they're themes are almost seamless!! Just a suggestion. I love my EVO I'm using negaBLU right now because nothing else likes my radio for some reason.

Just curious, are you using a sense ROM or cyanogenmod or other? Application icons are a piece of cake, there are icon packages or one can create in Photoshop, etc. But the notification icons I'm weary of messing with with a Sense based ROM. Thank you for your suggestion, by the way.

the op is correct. with cyanogenmod as exception I never found a room which can be themed easy. right now I am on yodas sense less and I am stuck with the blue battery because changing anything risks boot loop lol
Use MIUI , the themes will change everything including the black and blue colored windows and popups that you are referring to .
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.

Yeah. Good suggestion. I tried the miui rom for the evo 3D/evo v and the themes were awesome and there was so many different ones. And you can mix and match icons, status bar colors and styles. And the 3D feature still worked. :thumbup:

Mycolorscreen.com also has deliciously amazing theme ideas and customization. Some you pay for, but many are free and they include the tutorial, and the resources (apps, icons, and all the goodies) so you can make your own eye candy. I drool every time I visit that page.

As a themer I can say that almost every, if not every, image in the system is customizable

But not if I want to keep the stock ROM... Or vanilla Android for example...
