Yeah I got it the dialer is awesome see through text would be cool
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vapotrini:
Very nice project.

Would be too sweet if you could get the 3d/4d app drawer to be transparent.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Cool bro Its awesome I wish I could get the see through wallpaper to work right it works in landscape mode but not portrait also road sms I wish that had swype I would totally get rid of some apps to save power enough to run this all the time
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
this will go along great with transparent facebook and twitter widgets.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
I confirm this is currently working with Ner0 v4.1
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Thanks! Idealy, I would say it's best to use the morph until I can get the CWM version transfered to the 4.1 framework. Sombionix mentioned in his changelog some framework edits, so you'd lose those by flashing the CWM .zip. Nice to know nothing's broken though ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Spartoi:
There is no morph of the Beta 0.2 though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
any thoughts about doing the contacts transparent?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
On my to-do list. It's a real pain trying to find the right xml to make backgrounds for touchwiz apps transparent. For some reason Samsung didn't want to stay even remotely consistent in their app design.

0.2 was the same as 0.1 with the exception of the dialer app that could be made into a morph. Don't worry though....

Version 0.3 is out. Updated for Nerov4, added popup images and took the time to optimized pngs and zipalign the apks (just didn't think about it before honestly ;))

I've been working on the Mms, but not making much progress. May switch to contacts or settings just so I can say I accomplished something lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Spartoi:
Keep us updated, thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Smartassassin:
The phone zip kicks ass. Good work!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Smartassassin:
Side note. You know where I can find these to push??
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
what are you talking bout?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
side note.. I did a complete odin to stock then updated to ner0 4.1 and I cant get metamorph to work sigh...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
Did the metamorph on nero 4.1 and I can't say enough how icredible it is. Flashed the phone zip Speechless on that ! Thank you so much MWBehr for making these mods : )
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Lick My Toes:
just a question, but how would i be able to flash back to stock?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] christpuncher:
Just to clarify... the first link is a flashable zip right?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Anyone using Launcherpro with this? Does the status bar have transparency? I notice the OP mentioned Adw allows it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
Status bar is transparent on Go launcher.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsafford:
It only seems transparent when I'm using a live wallpaper. Otherwise it is black.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
It comes and goes for some reason idk why it happens to me sometimes too but this is awesome enough for me to ignore little things like that
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
This is accurate, and seems to be an issues for the few other themes I've see with a clear status bar as well. I can only guess that a normal wallpaper is drawn starting below the status bar so that the top of the image isn't cut off (ordinarily). Since most live wallpapers wouldn't care about whether the top is shown or not, I guess that's why they look different. I'll look into a possible mod for this, but no promises ;)

I refered to ADW because it allows the background in the app drawer to be transparent. Launcher Pro does not to the best of my knowledge. The status bar will be the same regardless of launcher.

Correct, only links under the metamorph section are different.

Good point, I need to upload a revert .zip.

Edit: A Clockwork Mod flashable .zip is now in the OP to revert back to stock Nero v4.1

Thanks, glad you like it :)

Can you be more specific? XML didn't load, got an error, visuals didn't change, what?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] synaesthetic:
Concerning wallpapers and the status bar:

The newest version of ADW Launcher seems to draw the status bar on top of the wallpaper; when swiping up to hide the status bar, the wallpaper no longer adjusts upward like it did in previous versions of the launcher.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dan0zone:
Metaphor will give you a 'control file missing 'or 'wrongly written 'error...Or like in v1 it would go through the paces, reboot and no change .. the other morphs I have work fine, its just this one .....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Just tried both metamorphs and both applied without error. Might want to check your metamorph version. I will tell you though that Metamorph will sometimes simply not apply a morph or not apply it entirely on apks like frameworks or services. It's basically because the phone tries to call upon the apk in the middle of the conversion which causes an error and generally a premature reboot. This is the main reason why I prefer flashable zips. I understand, however, that since my theme is somewhat incomplete, some people will prefer to flash mine on top of some other theme.

One thing that can help is to apply the morph one apk at a time.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
I Basically get a error telling me that I have no more space in my /system folder.

So in an attempt to repair it I completely odin'd and still it comes up. I'm sure its not a problem with your theme i just figure i'd put it out there just so others dont feel alone if it happens to them.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] huchein:
Neat! but has some issues

I get FC's when i try to attach a memo in messaging application.

some screens are hard to read. for e.g.notification ringtone selection menu under settings. i think it would be ideal to make them black. :cool:just my opinion.

Thanks for the great theme. 5*'s
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] it2steve:
Dialer adjustment?

Is there anyway to adjust the AMOUNT of transparency in the dialer?

I love the dialer look but when I start typing a name, 5566 for John or Johnson, I get a list and all I can see is just the name 'john'... no first, last name, nor can I see if it's labeled mobile, office, ect...

Thanks for any insight.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I looked at what you're talking about and I definately have to agree. I never use that feature so I didn't realize it was an issue. Thanks for the feedback :)

Ya I'm going to make the popups a little less transparent.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Neffstarr:
can we flash this on nero V3 or just V4
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
It would basically just update the framework of v3 to v4. Should be no problem at all, but backup as always just incase ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Neffstarr:
ok thanks bro and very nice work.. gonna try in a few
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Neffstarr:
Work great on nero v3... Dopeness

one more question ,,i notice that ur screen shot shows a clear status bar,

here is a screen shot of a non LIVE wp why is it not clear?

http://neffstarr.posterous.com/testing-somthwting

with live wallpapers its clear i tried a few already ,but when i put a still image the top status bar goes back to black thats the only thing i have a ? about
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Ya, I probably need to add it to the OP. Basically, as far as I can tell it's an issue with ADW Launcher because of the "hiding statusbar" feature they added. Looking into solutions, but don't know of one yet.

Side note: Nero v5 is probably going to be produce rather quickly based on the new leak. This may or may not be compatible with this theme since it will be using a new framework base. So.....

Brave people with backups: Flash away and let me know ;)

Timid people: Be patient and I'll try to get a update out soon after their release
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
This should work ok with nero v5 right ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Well other v4 themes have been reported to work on v5. Either way, though I'm batch optimizing Nero Glass v0.4 which includes several small visual adjustments as well as fixing a reported issue with the dialer and a newly themed contacts.apk as well as untilizing the frameworks from Nero v5 to insure compatibility.

I can't describe how big a pain theming the Contacts.apk was....but the good news is I'm pretty happy with it now. The bad news is I fear it may be easier than the MMS and Settings apps are going to be lol.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Version 0.4 in OP. Sorry, but the metamorph version will have to wait until tommorrow :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
thank you for all the effort. I will donate to you when Funds are decent. As this is my fav mod.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kpak888:
Undo

How do i undo this?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
You should always make a backup before you apply themes
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Glad you like it :)

There's a flashable .zip right under the theme called "Revert back to stock Nero v5"

Metamorph v0.4 is now up. Flash the Dialer & Contacts .zip seperately. Back to work sorting through XMLs....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
This is driving me crazy....I really don't want to move on to anything else until I have the MMS and Settings themed, but I just can't find the background references for them! MMS, have a preferences setting to change the background from white to black, so I thought that wouldn't be too hard....but I was able to track the preferences reference to a handfull of .smali files, but none of them seem to have the familiar color tags similar to services.jar date editing.

Settings.apk....I've looked through every xml, changes every dark colored image, including ones from framework or twframework (I think) and nada.

Naturally, I've looked around for a theme that has changed either of these backgrounds, and haven't found a thing.

I'm not really looking for responses here, just felt like letting off some steam lol. However, if any of you happen to stumble accross a theme that has changed one of these backgrounds, please let me know. I have some questions for that person :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Im running Nero 4.1 If I flash Dilarer&contacts only would it work or mess things up?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
If I wanted to pull the google bar from here and apply it to nero v5 by itself how would I do it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Nope, should be just fine.

In metamorph, you can simply click just the GoogleQuickSearchBox option. In the flashable .zip, open it up and delete everything in the "framework" folder and delete everything but the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in the "app" folder. Then it's ready to flash.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Worked perfect thanks man
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
Pushed the dialer and contacts on M10 looks great : )

Thx again.

Custom Vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
I hope this is still alive. I love the mod
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Nabeel10:
You know what they say,

Inspiration ignites the temptation!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Oh it's certainly alive. I've recruited some outside help to try to work out the settings and mms (and now xda app from their own interest) theming issues. Unfortunately now they're stumped too lol. We'll get there eventually ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ndwgs:
Hey MWBher,

Are you eventually going to venture out and putting out this theme besides Nero? Like M9 series, Axura, etc.?

Sent from the helm of the Vibrant Galaxy!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I could. Hopefully the only difference is in the frameworks so it wouldn't take me too long. I hadn't seen any requests before yours, so I didn't worry about it. Is there a rom in particular you'd like to see it ported to first?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
awesome thank you and your help for what you are doing. I really wish I understood the theme aspect so I could pitch in.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
I got glass working on M10 custom. Only problem is when I try to choose groups in contacts I get force close. Process.android.acore.process has stopped unexpectedly.Everything looks perfect though.

Custom Vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Did you use the metamorph or the flashable?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
First I flashed dialer_ contacts. The dialer was glass, but only the area surrounding contacts was glass. I then applied metamorph and then contacts was also transparent.

Custom Vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Ok, that's exactly how it should work. So I just need to figure out the force close issue for M10? That's good news. Thanks ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Thanks for the updates and support. Was running nero 4.1 when took this. Seems off. I do change my density value from 245 to 225 every rom tho. But transparency still seems off. Love how this COULD look tho thank you!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Sorry wont let me upload hold on

EDIT: Here ya go. Not too transparent.. but if I search for one specific contact the black goes away and its transparent.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
My contacts are a lot more transparent.

Custom Vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
The framework (metamorph or from the full flashable .zip) is required for contacts to be fully transparent.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Cool thanks. WHat about the density change? ANyway you can support for 225 density? Or is that not the problem in my screen shot?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
The transparent flying animation is awesome
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Repeat post. Delete
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Your screenshot looks exactly like it should, to me, for my contacts.apk without the images in the framework. If that was taken at 225 density, then I guess you're good.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Im saying, is there anyway to make it so there isn't the gap around the contacts?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I see. Well the gap was necessary in order to theme it at all. Perhaps somewhere down the road I'll find a new way to do it, but for now it is what it is ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
I was running glass on M10 custom, but got fc when choosing groups in contacts. Now running Flagship V2, and I noticed has same fc problem when choosing groups, except contacts are not totally tranparent.

I could try to morph it like on the custom, but I like the white battery icon, which I noticed the morph replaces.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
No problem. I thought there was more of a gap on mine cause of the density.. I still think there is but i dont mind. If you need some donation to get this more kickin and looking better and motivation to work on it let me know!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
lol, donations are simply "thank you"s and while they're, of course, greatly appreciated, this is just my hobby :D

Yup, I hated the tiny font of the Nero battery, so I replaced it. If you like, you can delete the "stat_sys_battery****" images from the framework/drawable-hdpi-v4 folder to prevent it from replacing your battery. In order to get the contacts transparent, however, you will have to morph ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
Deleted stat_sys_batt but it seems the morph will only apply google search box after countless morph attempts. I applied zip instead worked perfectly fine, but that also changed pulldown and icons to the nero type, which I don't want and doesn't really look good on flagship. I was running normal dragon kernel 3.1, so I don't know if that affected the morph.

The morph worked on kirf M10 custom voodoo enabled so I might flash back and try to mod it deleting the stat_sys_batt 's, but for now I'm gonna stay on flagship v2. Thx very much MWBehr and I'll post results if I flash M10 custom again.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
How similar is Bionix-v to nero 5 ....I just wanna make sure I dont break any framework. ill probably try it just to do so.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Hoju:
I was wondering this as well. Please post back what you find.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I'm gonna call them nearly identical. There seems to be no framework changes what-so-ever. I was gonna work on getting an updated version up, but I really don't see a point. If you're concerned about it, I can say for sure the metamorph works perfectly. I haven't had chance to do any more than that.

On a similar note, I'm really sorry there haven't been any updates lately. I've been swamped in general between interviewing for a new job, "trying" to have a kid, and most importantly (don't tell the wife) watching the playoffs :D. Any way, I'm thinking about working a little bit on the style of the theme since I'm so stumped on making the remaining apks on my list transparent. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed and considered if I deem them reasonable :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Hoju:
Awesome. I'll be flashing the theme as soon as I finish restoring my phone. I appreciate all the work you do. Best theme for Nero/Bionix roms I've seen yet. Good luck on all in your personal endeavors as well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
dude real life is so much more important. so dont worry about us. I mean part of the fun is taking the risk.

On another note Id love to learn some of this stuff though I have no idea where to start.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
This for sure works on bionix-v
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Better pull down menu. Needs to be slightly less transparent or top different. Bottom pull down could look like this. Used to use this theme and it felt and looked great.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xeku:
I flashed it on bionix V it works flawlessley aside from the date on the pulldown menu beign a different shade of glass thats it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Who's is that? Even if I reproduce something similar from scratch, I'd like to give them credit for inspiration.

What do other people think? Is this a good dropdown for the theme?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] j0hnZ:
My dialer was almost completely destroyed with the change.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] j0hnZ:
I don't think it flows with your theme. Looks like it is from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770507
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Well, I'd definately make it more transparent, just wasn't sure about the all black. I do agree with the suggestion for sure that the dropdown needs some improvement though.

On a side note....guess I need to consider a new name for this thing huh? :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] j0hnZ:
Only if you change it :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I just meant the "Nero" part. When I named it originally I wasn't really sure how much I was going to end up doing with it. Now that Nero is non-existent and I probably should look at more rom compatibility, a new name is probably in order.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
It is ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA theme. I think it looks great and smooth. Just add a little more transparent like he said and it will be kickin.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
id have to see it in action cause right now i dont think it would fit
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I have to say, I'm enjoying building a new statusbar dropdown. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it too ;)

P.S. The images will be almost all original I believe.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Awesome news I love this theme
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Ok, new version is posted. Hope you guys like it!

New dropdown

Also added a cool boot animation, and Toxic's CRT off shutdown.

Unfortunately metamorph is really not going to be an option here on out. There's just too many xml edits.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
So I love the boot animation and the crt shutdown(thanks toxic). I think the bottom of the pull down drawer is cool with the galaxy s....The

The bubble effect in the pull down doesnt do it for me.

Just my imo not to be taken seriously as it is your theme.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bartek25:
awsome job i love pull down bar
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junxracr:
Perfect besides getting force close when trying to choose groups in contacts on Bionix v
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
lol ummm not a big deal but can you change my name in the OP to Tonicacid and not Toxicacid. Great theme by the way.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
lmao so sorry man....I think your theme name popped into my head while I was writing it up. Told you I type too fast for my own good :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Tonicacid:
lol no problem.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I mentioned awhile back that I was working with some other themer's to crack the code on getting the rest of these apks transparent. Well it's been cracked! Wish I could say I had more of a hand in it other than simply trying everything else that didn't work first :D I should be rolling out some new transparent apks starting with the Mms soon. For now, check out the transparent XDA app they made

Well I have a new version that is optimizing right now that includes Themed Mms, Settings, and better and fixed Contacts!

As for facebook...there's a link in the OP to invisible widgets. I know there's a facebook in there. Have you tried it yet?

New version is now up. As this involves somewhat significant system-wide changes I tested it as thoroughly as I could. However, it's possible I've overlooked some abnormalities. Please post anything you find, and I'll take a look. This update should also fix all reported bugs to date.

Edit: To those interested in the "Old" dropdown;

Would a tinted all-black version be something you'd be interested in?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
Is there no way to remove the white box from the xda app when typing a message?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I'm sure there is, but I don't want to step on theimpaler's toes. I'm sure he could look at it for you though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hazard99:
I would mos def ... but It is your theme. I just stuck with version 4.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
Yes would love a different pull down option preferably without bubbles. But like said your theme
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Well, ya it's my theme, but I did the poll for a reason :D It wasn't so much to find a "winner" but more to see if it was worth the effort to create a second option and which option should be the "primary" build. I'd like to make the second option a metamorph addon to the primary build so I don't have to keep updating it. I'll first try to get the old dropdown into a morph with the exception of the toggles at the top, but it will be quite a few xmls to get all the text colors, etc. back the way it was, which may not work. That's why I was asking about an all black option as that would just require images.

Edit: On a side note....apparently that poll will be there forever or until I hastle an admin to remove it. Even a senior mod apparently can't remove it :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
You mean the box of the text? I guess I could, but it'd take some doing :)
