when i try and open facebook i get "no more room on this home screen"any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
nevermind :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frankzua77:
!!

Why are you using launcher 2? I think Launcher is better ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khintz1:
It skips genie.apk for me. Also, search is still not transparent, but I'd prefer it that way.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RevJesseJ:
On the money!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JHPadu:
Have you managed to get the Buzz widget transparent? It doesn't work out for me even tho I've signed it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
the news and weather are not coming up transparent.suggestions?all others are ok.excellent work :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Try pushing the attached to /system/app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
same here.

I tried uninstalling, deleting, force reinstalling, signing....

Either get a "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION" or "INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE".

note: The widget apk is named com.google.android.apps.updates.widget.apk

If I wanted to undo the calendar morph, how would I go about doing that? Is there a way to restore the original calendar look? Thanks :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Busterbrown:
Mint.com would be an great addition :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Yes it would, added to my list :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hoolagen1:
weather and flip clock widget.

This would be awesome. This is the last widget I use that not totally clear....thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gazorninplat:
Any chance these will work on CM 5.0.7 on the smaller screen resolutions for those of us using G1/myTouch/Magic?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Most will, unless I forgot to transparentise the images for those resolutions. Try... and post back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drewstiff:
I applied the Twitter update from Market today and now my widget is non-transparent again.

Anyone else had this issue? I have confirmed the app is still in /system/app and I have tried re-applying the morph... any ideas?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
I found a nice bookmark app free on the market called "Visual bookmarks" that would be way better transparent. Just a request! Great work btw, keep it up!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Did you move the new .apk to /system/app/ ?

I tried it out today... Installed the latest twitter and morphed it.

The morph worked (transparent+white text), but it says I'm not signed in on top. No issues at all with the small version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jameelwinter:
Twitter "not signed in"

I've got the same weird "not signed in" thing going on with my Twitter large widget. Any thoughts on how to fix it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
They must have hidden that and now its visible because its transparent, i'll try and fix it...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Fixed the white version. check the post.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
Mind updating the genie morph? There is no link for it in the first post and my phone is almost all transparent! Great work and thank you
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Its included in the transparent_widgets.zip in the OP. You can apply the genie subsection individually.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
d'oh

Thanks for the help. I should have known! Again, excellent work. My phone's home screen's look excellent.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drewstiff:
Ah sorry, yes. I had checked that the apk was in /system/app (which it was) but then on your suggestion checked and found another copy of the apk in data/app so had to move that one to /system/app. Once the morph was re-applied that worked fine, thanks very much!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Mint.com widget transparent

Heres the mint widget transparent.

A single move didn't make the widget appear in the widget list, had to move, pull, push

Steps:

1)

adb remount
adb shell mv /[B][I]sd-ext[/I][/B]/app/com.mint.apk /system/app/
adb pull /system/app/com.mint.apk .
adb push com.mint.apk /system/app/

change "sd-ext" to "data" if you dont use apps2sd

2) Apply the morph.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Transparent AutoRotate

Transparent AutoRotate

I only made this 50% as the icon is quite good. The red/green circle and the ON/OFF text is 100% visible based on the state.

A single move didn't make the widget appear in the widget list, had to move, pull, push

Steps:

1)

adb remount
adb shell mv /sd-ext/app/com.curvefish.widgets.autorotateonoff.apk /system/app/
adb pull /system/app/com.curvefish.widgets.autorotateonoff.apk .
adb push com.curvefish.widgets.autorotateonoff.apk /system/app/

change "sd-ext" to "data" if you dont use apps2sd

2) Apply the morph.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Treatcon:
Didn't see this here yet, so here you go. Careful with this as the text of the widget is white, so make sure you have a darker background. Don't ask how to change the text color cuz I have no clue :)

IP Address Widget 1.3 from megagram to make the widget transparent.

Steps:

1) Remove widget from home screen

2)

adb remount
adb shell mv /sd-ext/app/com.megagram.widget.myip.apk /system/app/

change "sd-ext" to "data" if you don't use apps2sd

3) ###Apply Morph###

4) Add widget to see transparent background in action

I would like to see a transparent widget for Last FM
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Added to the OP. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Updated Scoreboard and Buzz, n1 torch should have worked :confused:

Will add last.fm to my list.

Any chance you could do the Meridian Media Player?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
which one? I see two versions:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.iii.romulus.meridian

http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.iii.romulus.meridian.conservative
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The_Rouge:
Engadget and Google search will not work metamorph keeps saying that it doesnt exist. How can I apply these?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3bs:
This one. I'm mostly concerned about the 1x4 widget. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Added the missing xml for google search. Engadget seems ok, did you get any errors while moving the .apk ? (did the name change?)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] The_Rouge:
I did get engadget to work, I think the issue is I have the first helix launcher. I dont have launcher2.apk in either directory. Google search isnt a biggie for me so I'm not worried. Any chance you could make a transparent smoke theme for the facebook app itself and the gaming buzz widget? Oh and thanks for these by the way!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] efenili:
Is there an easy way to make your transparent widgets less transparent? Like say 60-70% instead of 100%?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Re: [Morph] Transparent Widgets [5/10/10]

Find the files the morph replaces (in the original apk), set the transparency you want and put then in the morph zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gszeman:
Nice work on these! I have a question about changing text colors on a widget...is there a tutorial anywhere for what needs to be done to do this? In particular I'm looking at changing the text on the RSS Widget. I'd like the preview title text to be gold, and the main text to be white...I've looked at a couple threads on changing notification text...but it's pretty specific on just the not. text...

Anyways, these look great...nice work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] timbadia:
mint.com widget morph applied, but widget still not transparent

I have done this with no errors ... yet the widget is not transparent .... any ideas?

on CM5.0.6 N1, with apps2sd

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
This usually involves an xml edit. Since the xml is in binary form you need a tool to decode/encode.

I use apktool, instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6342696&postcount=47
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
A new version just released yesterday... maybe the morph does not work on it. I'll test too.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mint
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lazat:
not spotify remote, its spotify, thats not in alpha/beta =) thanks for your awesome wokr!

And maybe we have to upload the apk to u or u have to set your marketaccess to a swedish code. pm me if that is the case
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sliverofme:
These morphs are so cool! Thank you for all the hard work! I would like to request a clear Doggcatcher morph, since their widget is ....well, not the prettiest one around. Thank you in advance!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] benjatt:
Managed to get to 7 but the adb says the .apk does not contain AndroidManifest.xml - Any idea what this means?

Also I cannot seem to find how to pull an app such as twitter from my phone. It doesn't appear to be in system/app so where can it be?

thanks for any help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
1) you're zipping up one folder too high. The manifext xml should be in the root of the .zip when done correctly

2) market apps go to /data/app/ or /sd-ext/app/ for apps2sd users.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhenson496:
Quick question on the "3" morph... After doing the correct adb sequences

adb remount

adb pull /sd-ext/app/org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl.apk .

adb push org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl.apk /system/app/

I apply the morph, but get force closes every time. Is there something wrong the new morph since metamorph got updated?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
does the cubed player FC, or metamorph ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhenson496:
Cubed force closes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
cant be certain, maybe the morph doesnt work with the updated version of cubed.

See what shows up in the log when it FCs
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhenson496:
Ok this is going to sound foolish, but what do you mean by log? When it force closes it takes me to my e-mail with a bunch of numbers and stuff (looks like some sort of code/language.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
open a command prompt ("cmd") and type in

adb logcat
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] benjatt:
Thanks Britso. I now have a new problem. When installing the message is: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]

When you say '4. copy in the files from the morph' do I simply copy the files from your downloaded .zip into the extracted .apk folder?

Should I delete any files in there already? One example is with the genie widget, which has a res file in the rot already. Should I replace this one with yours or have both in there?

thank you for your help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES is probably becaseu you did not do this:

yes when you copy, overwrite. Its automatic since they have the same name.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:

transparent news genie on Froyo?

The Transparent Widgets morph doesn't seem to work on Froyo.

Specifically, when I run the morph on the GenieWidget, it disappears from the list of widgets you can pick to place on a home screen.

Anyone got this working?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
Works fine for me on Froyo. Just wish I could figure out how to get my power widget to be cyan instead of green.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Xsoldier2000:
Extended Controls?

britoso can I bother you again? Looking for a transparent morph for Extended Controls (widget)?

Unfortunately. it is a paid app. (I could send you the .apk if you'd like?)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
You could try SwitchPro which does the same and comes with 3 skins, one of which is transparent, otherwise PM me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Try getting the cyan icons from a CM ROM and morph them to the same location on the froyo ROM.

apk:

settings.apk\res\drawable-hdpi

replace files:

appwidget_settings_ind_mid_c.9.png appwidget_settings_ind_on_c.9.png

update: attached a morph with transparent BG and BLUE lights.

tested on froyo! phone rebooted unexpectedly after applying the morph successfully...but the morph works
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhenson496:
How are you getting your morphs to work on Froyo. I can't get any morphs to work. I either get a force close loop upon reboot, or when I try to push/pull i get either "file may be written incorrectly, or some cross something line". I'm at work so I don't have the specifics.

I've tried using both the old MM and new MM. I've tried installing both MM's internally and on the SD. Any ideas would be a great help.

OT: GO MAGIC!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Re: [Morph] Transparent Widgets [5/10/10]

Yeah I've seen those crosslinked errors too. I think that's related to the odexing. I've only tried morphs on .apks that have not been odexed or dont contain a classes.dex
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhenson496:
Ahh ok well atleast I'm not doing anything drastically wrong. Guess I will just have to wait till froyo versions come out, cause that's way over my head.

thanks for all the work you've done britoso! could i please request a transparent widget for Moxier World. I don't know if it's been done already but I searched and found nothing. Could you please make the background transparent and just have the info in white/black font and the sun/moon as is. thank you in advance. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I've noticed that apps cannot be moved easily on froyo too. Lets wait till custom roms start coming out.

What works:

1) pull the apk (has -1,-2 etc in the name) to your pc

2) uninstall the app.

3) push from your pc to /system/app/

4) morph

5) if the app does not show up, push and pull the .apk to /system/app again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Xsoldier2000:
I'm back.....! :p

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jhenson496:
Bristo, thanx for the info. How can we tell if it's -1,-2? Hope thats not to silly a question. :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Xsoldier2000:
Nevermind, the program is now riddled with adds, and the full version costs $7. I'll just stick with cubed.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
I'd like a transparent morph for an app called "My Location Widget" by Futon Redemption. I'm on Froyo and LauncherPro though so don't bother if those are a problem.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
It morphs correctly on froyo, but there are hassles.

steps:

1) pull the .apk:

adb pull /data/app/com.futonredemption.mylocation-1.apk ./com.futonredemption.mylocation.apk

2) uninstall the /data/app version (mv does not work, cross-device-link error)

adb uninstall com.futonredemption.mylocation

3) push to /system/app/

adb remount
adb push ./com.futonredemption.mylocation.apk /system/app/

4) apply the morph

5) the widget is morphed correctly, but does not show up in the widget list :( so pull and push again

adb pull /system/app/com.futonredemption.mylocation.apk .
adb push com.futonredemption.mylocation.apk /system/app/

To avoid all this, I've attached a morphed .apk, simply uninstall the old and install/push this one, If you want the latest version after 6/8/2010 you will have to morph it using the above steps

adb uninstall com.futonredemption.mylocation
adb push com.futonredemption.mylocation.apk /system/app/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
Looks great, thanks for your hard work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shmigao:
is it possible to make the morph in a way that it removes the "Torch" below the light bulb? my home app links have the app names removed, just "Torch" sticks out, because it's embedded in the widget :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
You could you try using a shortcut instead of the widget, it uses no cpu power and survives updates, FCs, Morphs etc.

I've since switched to sing 'LED flashlight' (froyo only)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] irishrally:
britoso, thanks for all the great work here.

I've been using your transparent and blue version of the power control widget with Froyo but like the 7 option version in switchpro widget. I use switchpro with no background (transparent) and it has little green dots under each option (similar to the green bars in the stock power control widget). Any chance you could make a version of switchpro with blue dots instead of green? I'm not sure if this is even possible if the developer behind switchpro has not released his code.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Its possible just need to change the image colors and morph the new images in.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
First of all, thanks to all who have worked on these transparent widgets. I think they look awesome!

I was hoping to request a few to fill out my home screen.

Great work on all these Britoso! I was wondering if you could do a Process Manager and 3 banana. My home screens will be brought to you by britoso then :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Re: [Morph] Transparent Widgets [6/8/10]

I'm a bit swamped this week, plus its harder on froyo. Will try.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] StaitEdgetEdge:
Take your time, i appreciate the work. Im sitll running CM 5.0.8 if that matters
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I totally agree- take your time. And FWIW, I'm running Bugless Beast V0.2.1 Android 2.2 FRF57

Is there a Power Control 50% transparent version? Want it to match the GenieWidget, and how about transparent or 50% Tapatalk Pro widget?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mercies:
This didn't work for me. I performed the ADB commands and then applied the morph, but then then the music player disappeared from my widgets :( Any ideas as to what I did wrong? Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
That happens after applying morphs with the latest MM on Froyo. Are you on Froyo ?

A pull/push from/to system/app should work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mercies:
Yes I am on Froyo, so I guess that means I will have to deal with the semi-transparent black background? Other mods worked for me, just not the cubed one.

EDIT: I just re-read what you said and realized I am an idiot, sorry, thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Its also possible that the morph is not compatible with the new cubed version. It changes code so its tightly bound :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mercies:
I think that may be what it is because I have been sitting here trying everything. I think I will scour the internet for an older version, but thank you for your help! :)

Your morphs are fantastic!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] effluent:
Just now trying to figure out how this works. I did get the Youtube widget to work because you just put the file in a folder and apply. But the rest you have to do something like-

adb shell mv /sd-ext/app/com.slacker.radio.apk /system/app

And when I do this it says the file does not exist. I do have apps2sd enabled.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Are you on froyo? Some implementations link /data/app itself to the sd-card, so the command is

adb shell mv /data/app/com.slacker.radio.apk /system/app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] effluent:
No, 2.1 on the EVO. Tried it anyway, the command said failed - cross-device link.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Yes that happems on Froyo too. Dont know the solution but there is a workaround.

adb pull /data/app/com.slacker.radio.apk .

adb shell rm /data/app/com.slacker.radio.apk

adb push com.slacker.radio.apk /system/app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sosquidtaste:

I'm unable to get AudioManagerPro, SetCPU, and News & Weather to go transparent..any advice?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
I dont know about the other two but news and weather worked for me just 2 days ago.

Had to pull and push back the morphed apk after morphing for the system to recognize it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] XxDaLoWeSt1xX:
I will give you a step by step on how to accomplish this...

1. Install the application. If you already have the app installed you can skip this step.

2. Adb pull the app from /data/app/. The code should look like this: adb pull /data/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget-1.apk (for free app)

Or

adb pull /data/app/com.smartandroidapps.audiowidgetpro-1.apk (for paid app)

3.Apply the morph that you put in the Android Themes folder for the audio manager app so it will recognize it in the system folder or whatever (I'm kinda dumb so I really don't know how to explain it well.)

4.Take off the -1 because you have to have the name exactly as the morph has it or it will not apply. So your file should be: com.smartandroidapps.audiowidgetpro.apk

5.Now push your app to /system/app/ it should look like this: adb push com.smartandroidapps.audiowidgetpro.apk /system/app/

6.Go into whatever file manager you are using (I'm using OI File Manager) and install the app. It should install.

7.Apply the morph for the application again.

8.Reboot your Evo and enjoy your transparent widget.

Hope this helps.

Britoso I love your work! I'm pretty sure you have this explained in detail on this forum but I'm just trying to help others out because I know you have a lot on your plate.

This applies for EVO users. Most of the apps we have have a -1 or -2 before the .apk if you want to know what your app has just simply go to adb shell

#ls /data/app/ if you're trying to pull an app from your data; or

#ls /system/app/ if you're trying to pull an app from your system.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
good job with the detailed instructions XxDaLoWeSt1xX :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] XxDaLoWeSt1xX:
