launcher pro not supporting transparent notification bar? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there!
sorry if this was discussed before, don't find something...
I made a transparent notification bar with UOT.
so, when I turn my phone on lockscreen, its transparent, unlocked its not transparent. when I open a app, its transparent too.
so I think, launcher pro have on the homescreen a "own" notification bar. on lockscreen and on apps it takes the sense bar.
I tried go launcher, same there.
any ideas?
running high rom 3D, 2.3.4, HTC evo 3D.
thanks for any help!!

Its not the launcher that supports transparency. Its your rom. U gotta decompile, recompile your systemui after you've edited the smali inside.
U can find a lot of threads regarding this in the themes section.

Use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture&feature=search_result
It's enabling transparent sb on every launcher

No, he means he has a transparent themed rom already but Launcher Pro makes the status bar solid.(Transparency works fine in other launchers)
I have the same problem, it's a known issue in LP. I was looking for some info on it when I came across this thread.
So far, the live wallpaper fix mentioned above is all I can find as far as a workaround, but there's got to be some kind of fix other than that,right?

[MetaMorph] Transparent Lockscreen (com.htc.resources.apk)

This is a Metamorph for a transparent lockscreen that was made by request for a friend. This is intended for a deodexed stock mytouch4G ROM (2.2/2.2.1). This will modify com.htc.resources.apk. Most likely this will crash your system when applied. If not, reboot to see changes. Ive been seeing an error when using metamorph to extract, it does not seem to find the theme file. All files extract and you will be able to apply by selecting "Pick existing theme".
*NOTE* This works when applied using the safari theme (thanks for the feedback). I'll look into modifying other themes... eventually. Requests will be considered.

Hmm I'm using your rom and it worked fine for me.. I extracted it on the computer, put it on my SD in the androidthemes folder, and then went to pick existing theme, apply all.
Has anyone been able to get rid of the lockscreen wallpaper? To show the homescreen? I've tried old methods, but they don't seem to work in sense 2.2 stock or modded roms for the n1

Same here. Running Ice but can't get it to stick. Good idea tho. I like it.
EDIT: Sent .zip to sdcard. Let Metamorph unzip. Still FC's my messengers while applying then nothing.
If you remove the htclockscreen.apk and .odex from your /system you'll get a transparent lockscreen... Albiet with the stock froyo lock but I prefer it anyway

So after trying this, the text on the lock screen doesn't line up correctly. All 3 lines of text, the date, the time & T-mobile all overlap. Is this supposed to be used with any of the lock screen themes or a specific one? Anything else need to be changed to get it to align correctly?

So this is just a transparent slider for the lockscreen?
I'm assuming theres no way to make a fully or semi-transparent wallpaper?
I know most icons are png's, which support transparency, but I'm not sure (and highly doubt) if a transparent png file would retain transparency after being set to be the wallpaper? If I had to guess I would think the file is converted in some way before it is actually applied...
I wonder if there is a way to bypass this and allow for transparencies in the wallpaper?
Though this works, it doesn't look so good since its transparent and the text overlays whatever is on the first screen. It would be nice if the lockscreen background could be honored by the stock froyo lock. Or at the very least, a solid color or black background.

Transparent images won't set correctly, from what I've read about other sense ROMs, you'd have to hexedit the file, changing the color to transparent... don't know if it would even work. There are lockscreen replacements, like lock bot, possibly some others. Wish there where better options... the ROM in general lacks the basics for most things I want to do... which is why I currently run the desire HD port by gr8gorilla. The ROM has been ported to a lot of phones, so there is quite a bit of mods and themes available.
I'm curious what features. Are you referring to stock? Does the desire port have working drivers for everything? I thought FFC (camera) was a problem as well as video playback. Iced is what I'm currently using and its rock solid and can overclock.

if you want to get original xperia icons
you may use the xperia arc theme from market...
and about editing the theme
first get root explorer
now with the help of root explorer open the theme apk (dont click on install)
now you will see some folders
different icons and backgrounds may be found in the "res" folder..
do not forget to press thanks if i helped
yes and the system and A-theme may be found in system/apps
you may edit them from there....

quickpanel settings

how can i install quickpanel settings to my player? I'm currently using generic ginger 1.1 and i love the customizable shortcuts at the top... i did a google search and found an app but it looks like it would only add another bar under the one i already have i think... sorry if this is the wrong place to post this...
just had a thought: could i just bring the framework.apk and systemui.apk over from another rom like chip 1.5 and flash them? or would that leave me with a paper weight??

The quickpanel is implemented in systemui, but because of resources and signing, you'd also lidroid-res framework-res and most of the other system apps. If there's nothing specific you need from genericginger, it'd be much easier to just flash chip. (Not trying to advertise)
And yes the app would just add another bar, which is probably not what you want.
