Transparent widgets for note 2 (accuweather, mp3 player, fm radio) - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

Hey Guys, I found this from the Galaxy S3 thread linked below,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898262
So I wanted to test this out in the new Omega Rom for Note and it worked perfectly. The transparent widgets fit the screen well and have no issues. So this should work on rooted stock roms as well.
I want to give my credits to kashortiexda for posting these. Files can be downloaded from the links below
Accuweather Transparent
FM Radio Transparent
Music Player Transparent
Instructions:
1, Download the required apk file and copy them to your sd card.
2, Use a root explorer tool and browse to the system/app folder. Mount the folder as r/w
3, Rename the apps, for ex., AccuweatherWidget.apk to AccuweatherWidget.apkbak
4, Copy Paste the transparent apk files to this folder and set permissions to rw -r -r. Reboot the phone
5, The widgets can now be used. Please make sure that these widgets are not there on the homescreens before replacing to avoid FCs.
Enjoy. Hope you like it guys. Thanks

Funny! Just today I was thinking how much I miss a transparent weather widget. With the WeatherWall wallpaper I really didn't need a superimposed image to spoil the effect.
I can confirm that it works with stock (rooted) ROM.
Thanks. :good:

Possible to upload a transparent S-Planner month widget?

Hi, as I mentioned, this was posted by another member on the S3 section. And I was curious enough to test all the transparent widgets on the Note 2. Unfortunately, the ones that worked were these 3. The SPlanner made no effect and clock packages kept force closing. I will keep testing to find a suitable one and will update my thread if i do get it. Cheers

Great job my friend !

thanks mate

Thanks, but want to see if anyone has run into this. I get these weird letters where the date goes below the time. Any ideas.? I'm on a stock deodexed rom.

Hey Guys, I see that some of you have the issue with funny letters showing up on the widget. I am using this on the Omega rom and till now havent faced the issue. So I am not sure what exactly causes this. I will play around with some weather settings and try to figure out what is causing this. Sorry.

Work fine here for those who have problems they have to delete or rename the AccuWeather Widets.odx file first

[MOD-SYSTEMUI] Transparent status bar **Only for sense roms**

I wanted to have transparent status bar for months and after struggling, i present you my mod'ed framework that will give you the transparent status bar you always wanted (LOL sounds like a promising advertisment!)
This framework is from Rempuzzle rom, i havent tested this on any other sense rom but Rempuzzle. Also i made this on the new framework of rempuzzle with the new graphics so use it on it.
1 - Backup your previous framework just in case or backup whole rom if you are bored to reflash framework-res.apk
2 - Just flash my zip file through clockwork and you'll be all set. If you find any problem when flashing just extract framework-res and push it to /system/framework
3 - After flashing check the permissions on framework-res.apk and see if they are rw-r-r
4 - Leave a thanks or tell me if it didnt work for anyone! :laugh:
For months you say!! Well you didn't search much then did you? There's a few already been posted and I know this because one of them is mine lol,which also has modded notifications and statusbar icons.
Good though

I assume you did a nandroid backup? just restore and try to extract, push it manually with e.g. ES file explorer (don't forget to check/assign correct permissions)

You can't, the white,grey or black you see behind the statusbar is determined by the background in the app so you'd have to edit every app causing the problem which is more trouble than its worth.

I believe its better not to have transparent statusbar because things overlap and background changes, but anyway !

Bean's Mods ( 5x4 Launcher, more to come )

figured id post some of the universal/unthemed mods i make as i create my rom..
all of these are made with the shipped VRALJB apps/framework this is not taking other apps from different phones these are fresh mods..
u will have to use a root explorer and move these to /system/app or /system/framework and then delete the .odex version of the file(temporary til we get recovery)
first up is 5x4 launcher
download: http://myandroidfiles.com/beanstown106/i605/vraljb/mods/SecLauncher2.apk
move to /system/app and then delete SecLauncher2.odex
more will follow as they are made

Is there a way to revert if you didnt save the launcher that was overwritten?

I'm really excited about this, but i'm not sure if it's going to work. After i moved it to the system/app folder and removed the .odex version, when i press the home button, only my launchers from the market are shown as options. the stock browser is completely gone. is that normal? does it need a reboot?

Thank you, but the problem was actually me being a moron and thinking using es file explorer with root access turned on would work the same as root explorer. It set up the new launcher with the wrong access permissions. i restored my backup of the original launcher with TiBU and tried it again with root explorer and now it works perfectly! Thanks to the OP for creating this great launcher mod, and you for your help!

[MOD][TouchWiz] 240 dpi Apps.

This is not my work...these files are from the international note2 & gs3 which are both exynos devices. I tested the apks listed below and they work just fine on the I605 Note 2. If you are running 240dpi you will notice some of the apps are not sized correctly...this mod will fix that. Must be flashed in CWM recovery! Not all of the apk's in the thread links are compatible...MAKE A BACKUP Before Flashing!
LINK(*do not use the flashbar.apk or launcher.apk they do not play nice from this link)
LINK2
*Here are the 240 dpi apk's for folks who do not have a custom recovery! You must push this to the system/app folder..Rename the original your replacing .bak that way its easy to restore simply by removing the .bak extension.
Calculator.apk
Camera.apk
Clock.apk
Mutliwindow_Flashbar.apk(this will need to be renamed .apk before pushing to system/app)
Email.apk
Exchange.apk
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, TouchWiz launcher force closes for me. Stock deodexed.
Call me crazy, but I actually prefer the TW launcher to others. I'll get over it for now, though. The keyboard is really the only thing that was holding me back from 240. I love the handwriting recognition.

I was actually about to edit my post with that; I can confirm that it doesn't play nice with that, either. I tested the stock multi-window and the one that allows you to control which apps you can use.

i ran 240 on beans 3 last night, everything was groovy except the multi window sidebar, Calculator and Camera (which there are fixes for in this OP). Also, clock FC's in 240 mode and the AOSP lock screen is off center. Lockscreen is fine because we can just use TW lockscreen in the meantime, but for me having to use alarms i like the factory clock vs using an alarm from the play store. Hopefully we can get some 4.1.1 fixes for the ones mentioned! no rush though

Works fine on Vertigos ASOP CM10.1 Pac ROM, just installed Highest Solution, works well, same infofields like on original Rom! very smooth....but the Keyboard (download on bottom on first post) doesnt work after flashing, it will not be recognize in system settings on my rom!

Great. Thank you!
Has anyone tried installing this on a rooted ME7?
Would I be able to just extract the framework-res.apk in root explorer, replace the files with the ones in the update zip, then somehow re-zip/apk compress the file and replace the original? I have a sneeking suspicion that I'm missing something.
