Transparent apps...what's missing ?

[xkape]

tp... check the screen... im showing whats in my "other" folder and the dates they were made.

 

[xkape]

also, you have your Env Var's setup right? Need one for testsign.jar and adb. If you have updated your SDK, adb would be in ..../platform-tools/adb if you haven't updated your sdk, adb would be in ...../tools/adb

I'm just tossing stuff out here man.

One more quick question and thanks for your patience. Is it every instance of Theme.whatever or just some? I'm trying to do Gtalk and here's what i see:

like i see style name or parent name etc...which ones should be changeD?

Not sure if i qouted this right but anyways.....I hope you get gtalk but there is certainly a reason it isnt transparent...I have gtalk with everything transparent except the conversations ive tried alot with it and no luck so far. But for your question its somewhat hard to explain the answer would be no not every occurence. Your going to want to look in styles.xml and also the androidmanifest. Its not always as easy as hanging something to theme.wallapaer sometimes it has to be added in. I think your best bet would be to compare a stock app with a transparent app looking at styles and androidmanifest. You would also have to find all the places that it calls to a bg and change that to "@android:color/transparent" Besides that stuff your best bet is just to start trying things and see what happens.

jatx.. what color is your conversation in gtalk?

 

[jatx2wne]

ummm it stays the same colors but when you scroll the words dont move so it turns into a bunch of mumbo jumbo lol

 

[xkape]

sounds off but hey.. all i can tell you is that scrolling almost always has to do with cachecolorhint

 

[jatx2wne]

I definitely agree with that... I think the other thing is how it has the ability to scroll side to side i mean in theory that shouldnt make it much different but it is the biggest difference between that and other apps. I havent returned to it for probably over a week because it had me so frustrated 3 or so days str8 of flashing nothing but gtalk zips and i had to walk away for a bit. May be time to return maybe i was overlooking something simple

 

[xkape]

flahing over and over 1 app... now theres something i can relate to...lol

 

[jatx2wne]

yeah but when you do finally get it....it makes it all worth while

I even tried taking the untouched Twitter.apk - putting it in system/app and changing one .png with NinjaMorph and afterwards I was unable to sign into twitter without a F/C - so maybe I am missing something here

 

[juniorjwh]

link its bad

Heres a few more
camera... camera.zip
genie widget... geniewidget.zip
audio manager... signedcom.smartandroidapps.audiowidget-1.apk

genie widget's widget is from my upcoming theme Faded if it doesnt match what you have its pretty easy to swap out or i can upload another stock one. Camera and genie widget are update.zips ready to go( I only use clockwork so if you use sp you may have to move them to the template in the op) audio manager is signed but you may have to uninstall you current one.

Ok yeah Gtalk is no joke...hahaa...definitely not the best one for me to start with.

Just as an aside, you guys can adb push your edits to the emulator to see if it works, so you don't have to keep flashing over and over again...definitely saves some time...

Anyway you could do a quick write on this? This would save tons of time...

Yep will do. I use linux so it'll be a linux guide, but the directions for Windows shouldn't be too far off I'm sure...I can confirm it works as I pushed a themed framework and Gtalk. didn't try signed apks but those should work too and i'll include how to do that in the guide...might be a little while...alot of info to write hahaa
