[Q] All widgets transparent - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDAs
How can I set all widgets on my home screens to transparent in a simple way?
Please don't post me this link.
Rooted N5, stock, 4.4.2.
Thanks a lot.
Regards

Simple way? Find widget replacements from the Play Store that offer transparent options. Other than that, the link you said you don't want to do would be it. Sometimes you gotta put in effort to get what you want, unfortunately. There's no magic transparent widget option. First world problems, right?

Thx 4 ur answer. I make many efforts and take always the time to mod my system! The problem with this link is that not all apps are available and if there is a new version of a specific app you can do the process again and again.

Has anyone installed go locker? If so, how. Can you use a different build.prop?
I still haven't quite figured out how to do that yet.
I am new to this, so I am slowly learning. I want to try and install ics screen
locker. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards...
P.S. Again I want to thank the dev's for all the work they are doing
to make this a better device.

You can install go locker but the stock locker will always be shown at bootup.

Yup, works after the initial B&N Slide. I have me some ICS Lock Screen awesomeness and I love it. =)

Problem is that when I try to install go locker it say device is not supported. Is there anyway
that you can attach the Apps so I can side load them? Or tell me how to go about downloading.
I am probably just missing something. Thanks....

1.09 dropped today. There is a direct download link. I monitor this blog daily

Thank you very much. I am a new to android so still
trying to learn my way around. I am so glad I found
this site.....
sweet thanks for the link that helped me out
GO Locker 1.09 does prevent the stock lock screen from launching when using it, though the problem I currently have is that it's not hiding the status bar properly.

Replacing Icons ?

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

Edit : K, it's done

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

Actually, the easiest way is using vrtheme, no need to modify apks or use anything else than the Touchwiz launcher itself

Thanks, I'll take your word for it. But I don't use TW launcher, and the app I refer to gives me a list view - a dealbreaker for me, was looking for a listview forever and a day, and I'll never go back

Mate are you serious ?
You have the list view in touchwiz too
Open appdrawer -> options button ( the one to the left of the home button ) -> List View...

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

Nah, Touchwiz basically sucks for everything I checked out that alternate app drawer app, it looks cool, pretty customizable I'm sure MIUI users adore it XD

WANTED: Ditching GO Launcher!

Dear Community,
I'm happy to have found Themer and would like to fully replace all Go Products. I don't trust that chinese crap with its adware and random lockups any longer.
Questions I'd love to see answered:
1. How to enable animations like in Go Locker?
2. Advantages over all other Launchers?
3. Which is the best replacement for Go SMS?
4. Security advantages over Go Products (pretty self-explanatory given the fact that Go Products come from China)
Even though not everything might fit this forum, I'd like to have your experiences as detailed as possible.
Thumps up will be given. Trust me.
Update: Themer looks cool, but doesn't seem to be the right option. I want 3D and I would like to place my app icons on my home screen like I used to. Any other Launchers you can recommend? C'mon, don't be shy!
PLEASE ANSWER. Thank you.

Hi SecUpwN, let's see:
1. We've just started, lock screen integration will arrive in the future once we are more stable.
2. The biggest advantage is that we offer the only one-click theming experience. Other launchers do allow you to add themes, but then you'll always need other 3rd party apps. With Themer, everything is included.
3. Hard to say, that's personal preference, but there are many great alternatives out there.
4. Well Themer is being developed in Irvine, CA. We can assure you that we only release quality, non-risky features and updates. The only push notification we use is one to "show off" your theme, which helps spread awareness for Themer and also helps keep it free. It can also be turned off.
Hope this has helped answer all your questions, feel free to ask more if you need
Thanks for answering, @ThemerSupport! How can I have a cool theme by Themer and place my own apps onto the home screen? I'm REALLY looking forward for that lockscreen feature! Having it, I could use Themer as an ultra-stylish locker and have a fresh home screen with my own apps on it. Aww man, maybe next year..
You can still add your own app shortcuts by longpressing the app in the drawer, then dragging it where you want on the home screen.
Same thing with any widget.
Of course, this likely ruins the aesthetic of the theme.
You can go to Menu > Advanced Settings > Unlock Widgets
And move things around to accommodate your additions.
Furthermore, you can just add an extra home screen and have your way with it!

Full icon pack support will come soon though, but what @Ryo Misaki said is correct.

Cool! @ThemerSupport, would you please add the following options as well?
* Custom styling of lockscreen like in Go Locker
* Possibility of adding own app icons to the home screen
* 3D animations of the home screen
I know the app is in BETA stage, but would you please add these into your plan? THANK YOU!

I decided to ditch Themer as long as it doesn't provide basic features like NOVA launcher. It's sad, but without beging able to add icons to the desktop without destroying the theme, I don't want it. I'm using NOVA now - and it works just awesome.

We're trying our best to add in full icon pack support (as well as providing icons that are related to the theme), it hopefully shouldn't be much longer.

Discussion for BoredSigns — Custom SignBoard Widgets

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

Search by the package name in the play store.
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:

[THEME] [KLWP] City Reborn

Getting my hands dirty in self quarantine.
A reboot of an old long lost all-time favorite Zooper widget in KLWP with a few extras created to take the v20 fully into account..
Comes in two variants, one for stock ROMs with the regular second screen (hide status bar in Nova to have notifications in the 2nd screen)
Second variant is for custom ROMs such as lineage 17, 16 and RR-pie which apply the set wall to the 'second screen'.
Everything was created from scratch, using GIMP (gimp.org) for the wall background, and KLWP (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.wallpaper) to build it up.
The icon pack used in the animated launcher in the centre is Light void https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.lightvoidfree)

USAGE:
Place the file in /Kustom/wallpapers from the root of your ad card and import it in klwp(full version required)
If there's any old theme you want rebooted, let me know in the comments. And pls if anyone knows the name of the dev for the theme from back in 2012 let me know so I can reference. Peace.
