Could I get 3banana made transparent?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I would encourage you to attempt this yourselves, If you can install a morph you more than llikely have the skills to make one :cool:

Especially those where its just a single image that needs to be made transparent.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ajd6c8:
damn it, can anyone tell me why I lost my transparent pandora morph after updating the newest version of LauncherPro today? lol, no sooner than I posted this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8410974&postcount=785 did I lose the transparent widget! The irony is not lost on me...

I've tried reapplying the morph and the process goes through without a hitch, but the widget is not transparent. I've tried rebooting, deleting & re-adding the widget, etc. Makes no sense to me - I thought the transparency was controlled by the pandora apk's xml files and have nothing to do with the Launcher.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
your pandora probably auto updated to the new version. now the apk has a -1 or -2 at the end, that is why you can't re-apply the morph.

adjust the apk name in the theme then re-apply
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ajd6c8:
thx you're right about the version having a -1 but that's not the problem. I've already adjusted the xml file for this and the morph applies successfully (if it weren't named correctly it would fail). But still the widget is not transparent.

perhaps pandora renamed the background image file in the xml file and rendered the morph package obsolete?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ogdobber:
use root explorer and copy the pandora apk to you sd and take it apart
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] constellanation:
Much improved! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ajd6c8:
I just used 7zip to browse the contents of the apk and compare all the morph's filenames/extensions with those of the current apk. Everything seems in order, but it still isn't working.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] roberto188:
I have a similar problem with sportstap...updated...reapplied the morph...but instead of no affect it ends up corrupting the widget....anyone have this problem? Anyone find a fix?

Could we get a transparent last.fm widget?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rdallman10:
sportstap morph not working anymore. it's named correctly, it's in system/app, i can run the application fine, but the widget says "problem loading widget." worked a month or so ago the last time i had a transparent theme. may need an update. TIA.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Heres the latest sportstap 3.0.3 as of 10/12/10. apk and morph :)

To install the apk: uninstall your existing, then install the attached. (froyo users can email it to their gmail)

To morph: move the apk to /system/app, morph, yada yada,....hope.... (untested morph)

Hey Britoso,

Great work,

I was looking to get the Sense Weather Widget, the one with the Wiper that goes on when it rains.

Would you be able to make or port one??

I see you have Rod's Miui Rom also.

Many Thanks,

Gezza.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Easiest way will be to uninstall the standard apk and install a modded one. (regular /data/app apps)

System Apps (/system/app) can just be overwritten.

This thread has some modded apks: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731625
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
The only free version was fancy widget, and its now outlawed. It didn't have a wiper though.

Post a link to the app.

Hello britoso,

I believe that the Micro Mod Rom and the Evil's Sense Rom both have the HTC Weather Widget. The one with the Wiper.

I downloaded the MM Rom and found HTC Weather apps, but not really sure how to get them to work on the Miui Rom.

If I place them my SD card and try to push them, I have no Idea.

Let me know if you can help.

Many Thanks,

Gezza.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Those are both sense ROMS. You may be able to find a morph on the desire forum, or a forum for a phone which comes with htc sense

Is it possible to make a transparent (50% ?) widget for Settings Profile? The above link is the newest beta.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
doesn't the widget look like a simple icon with a transparent background?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mawst95:
Yeah, but its this (in my humble opinion) ugly, odd looking icon that completely messes up the theme I'm going for on my phone. I'm not even sure what the icon is supposed to be--a mailbox of sorts? If making it transparent (thus stand out less) is difficult, no problem. Just thought I'd ask.

Is there any way to get this to work on the Vibrant? When I try and apply the ChompSMS morph I get a message saying "The target /system/app/com.p1.compsms.apk does not exist. Skipping..."
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
the file either has not been moved to /system/app/ or has a different name
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] regP:
How would I go about changing that? Sorry still new to all this. :o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
in the morph zip there is an xml file that contains the name of the targeted apk. Open the file with a text editor and change it such that it matches the apk name you moved to /system/app. Put the fixed xml back in the zip.

Alternatively you can rename the apk to match the xml

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Instead of a morph, a modded apk will be easiest to use. Simply uninstall what you have and install the modded version from here

They can be but

a) you will need to PM me the .apk

b) it will be resigned with a new key and hence wont get market updates

c) I wont post the apk here but PM it back to you.

or I could post a metamorph and you can try applying it (painful)

Cuz I keep trying to open the widget_background.XML but it wont work or am I supposed to edit a different file?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
You can use any OS you want.

I think youre trying to open the binary XML... You need to decompile the apk (apktool), edit the xml as a normal text file, recompile the apk. Good luck
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kicknik:
Thanks a lot.so I just edit the XML file not the widget_bg.9.PNG file or both?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
XMLs are usiually for textcolor, if youre not changing that then images are enough. Remember that nine patch pngs (.9.png) need to be compiled.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kicknik:
Thanks again.

Ive been researching as much as i can to learn how to do this but seem to keep finding roadblocks.

So i have to drag the .9.png into draw9patch and i get it to open but i how do i make it transparent using draw9patch?

Thanks for all the help again i really appreciate it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
you need to use an image editor for the transparency, and then draw9patch, lastly xeudodus's draw9patch compiler
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kicknik:
So I think over kinda got it down. I used gimp to delete the background then used draw9patxh and then put It back in the original APk and I got the phandoid news widget to become transparent but there is still a border around it. Also I tried to get Facebook to work nut for some reason I can't...

what would the draw9atch compiler be used for...?

Thanks again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
The compiler removes the 1 pixel border defining the patches that are stretchable and puts that info in the png as metadata (not 100% sure where)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kicknik:
Also everytime there is an update to the app on the market would I have to redo the process?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Updates will have to be applied manually because your modded app will not have the original market signature.

Yes you will have to mod the apk every time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kicknik:
Could anyone help me specifically with the Facebook widget I can't seem to figure out which files tto edit.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I noticed you saw this already.

You can decompile the official version and the modded version (make sure they are both the same version) and then compare the folders using winmerge or some other utility. That should tell you which files were modified.
