i still need to get mine repaired :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
Has the 2.3.2 malrer issue been fixed yet? I'm sick of this notification to update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTMLSpinnr:
Which issue might that be? Whitelisting?

I have notice that a couple of my paid apps don't reappear after a full wipe (i.e TouchDown Pro license).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
Protected apps not appearing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Still not appearing here for me...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivemaster:
It's still a problem, protected apps are not appearing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
market issue's have been fixed, can now see protected apps, thanks google :D
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Ok, a brief intro. I love the look of the the Live Wallpaper Solar Wind on the market, and wanted to make as many aspects of my phone transparent to really allow this LWP to shine. As you can see from my sig, I've already made a great deal of my widgets transparent, but I wanted to make XDA transparent as well. And, with the help of Pendo, we managed to do just that! Hope you guys enjoy! :D This should work on all phones, regardless of root, MDPI, or HDPI! If not, let me know what phone you have and your situation. And now, all text issues have been fixed!

Credits:

Pendo and myself. He is a great developer, and I encourage you to try out his transparent market and give him thanks.

Instructions:

Backup your XDA app with titanium, in case you'd like to go back

Download the app

Install it as you would any app, by clicking on the file from your phone on any file manager

Important!

For now, be sure to be on the dark theme, as the light is a bit screwed up due to testing. Just change it to dark in settings, theme. :D

[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Changelog:

NEW −3/20- Updated to version 1.4.2 of the XDA app!

-1/30- Fixed Text issues! Added custom splash screen, and made icon a tad more generic

-1/24- Introduced app
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
I see that you signed it 3 times to make sure it was signed, lol !!!!
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Lmao, yeah actually that's how I indicted version number to be honest with the testing ;) Does it work on the hero?
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
Indicted it what ?
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
I'm going to have to make this flashable.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Indicated what version I was working with of the themed app. Signed 3 times equals the third iteration of the themed app :D
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
No, just install it..... flashing to data/app may not even work well.
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
But I already have the xda app.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
It doesn't matter. Just follow the instructions I posted, and delete any from system/app if that's what you mean. Then, restore data from TB.
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
This is what I have.....
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Good! Now, change the theme style from light to dark as it states in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
I did and it's looks the same. Same text colors everything.
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
And your start up screen that says xda is off to the right a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Not sure what version you have, mine's not like that at all :confused: It's fine on dark for me... did you restart the app?
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
Yes, I have .....
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Take a shot of the front, main screen for me please then. Not the splash, just when you enter the app. And just released that's because you have an MDPI device that it's off like that on the splash.
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
Some shots in the dark....
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Except for a bit off on the splash, what's the issue? :confused: It looks ok to me, does it not?

Edit: I know text is dark, we're working on it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] CrashV2010:
Made the point that I was on dark a. LOL !!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Yeah I know, I'm working on it right now ;)

Hey Impaler, I just noticed that the text in the longpress menu in the text editing box is white on white making it rather impossible to read :)

Also, as you know I'm a huge fan of your work and I really hope more people start using this.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Hmm, mind taking a screenshot for me?
[Android Apps and Games] kenvan19:
Absolutely not. I'll edit with a screenie in just a minute. Also, I should note that I thought at first it was my theme but I've tried a few different ones just to check to no avail.

Actually, I just noticed something even weirder:

This is a picture from replying to a thread:

And this is a picture replying to a PM:
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Hm. That's odd. I'll take a look :)
[Android Apps and Games] kenvan19:
oooo I just paired this with the DarkGingerbread theme and it is hot.

So wonderfully dark =D
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
That looks excellent! Very nice :D
[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
I keep trying to install it but it says application not installed. Looks pretty cool though. I have the same live wallpaper. Maybe it will work when I get back to my computer...

Sent from me CM7 Nightly HTC Vision using XDA App that needs a thanks button implemented
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Try this:

Use Titanium Backup to backup the data of the xda app

Uninstall your current XDA app

Install this one

Restore data ONLY from TB

Enjoy!

That should work :)

Works and looks great on my rooted Evo! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] factualpuddle:
I think the forums, latest, favorites bar may need to be positioned a little better, at least on my Hero, and the black topic titles can be extremely difficult to see with some wallpapers.. but other than that I really like it so far, great job guys :)

Scratch both of them, haha, just needed to restart, but some buttons have white text with a light grey background, a little difficult to see, but nothing crazy haha, love it

[Android Apps and Games] Cy_n_ic:
Love updates :-) ill keep my eyes open for it unless u wanna pm me so i can test on my evo
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
I'll probably just post it here, as I'm probably going to just test it myself :) FYI expected updates; going to try and fix that light colored text, possibly change the input boxes to transparentish with white text, we'll see.
[Android Apps and Games] Cy_n_ic:
Cool cool, appreciate all your efforts in making our phones exactly what we want them to be :-D
[Android Apps and Games] johnson8cyl:
Cool. I assume you're talking about the xda app. Having any luck with Pandora? Loving the work. Much appreciated bro
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Correct :) Pandora is still giving me FCes at the same exact point every time (playing from a station). It's transparent, but for some reason FCing.
[Android Apps and Games] Da Skeleton King:
Installed to Epic 4g. The orienation is off on mine. It looks as if the screen is shifted to the right and edges are cut off. Also The status bar in the app is unreadable.

Great Job though!!! I cant await to install pandora!
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
That's why you need to change the theme to dark in settings ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Da Skeleton King:
I already did when I first intalled. Just took a couple reboots, now works perfectly. Ur awesome! I'm getting ready install all ur transparent mods on my and mys gf's phone. Thank you mane!!!

Do u have links to other transparent apps. That would be great. Just a thread of them. And yes I used search function. Just can't seem to locate them

Hmm, try my news and weather widget, it may work for you ;) :D

[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it man! :D Let me know if you never need anything
[Android Apps and Games] deliriousDroid:
Done nd done. It didn't work though. Metamorph says it applied the theme, but no change. Could that be because it was designed for the incredible?

Sometimes you have to try applying it more than once for metamorph to work, you'll know it worked when u get a bunch of force closes. Reboot after to check if it went through.
[Android Apps and Games] deliriousDroid:
Tried this method. Still no change. Thanks tho

What's the word on fixing the light theme my friend?

Sent From My Epic Bonsai Tree
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Why would it need fixing when the dark theme is the exact same and fixed? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] johnson8cyl:
What would make this app really cool is if u could change the text color in the post count bubble. Always been hard to read. Greyish text on either white or neon green is just a bit of a strain. Always been that way though
[Android Apps and Games] jaronow:
Because the light theme will read better with my favorite wallpapers

No biggie on it as the dark works great, just curious

Sent From My Epic Bonsai Tree

Hmm, suggestions. How about implementing the thanks button? Aha ;) ... is it even possible?

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
It would take some official XDA app support, but yeah it would be. You'd have to put it in the long press menu though.

I thought about emailing the dev about that very same thing
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Yeah, it'd be a great feature to have :D

Hey Impailer...would you haooen to have NEW transparent market?

I had Pendo's transparent blue..but the stupid market updated itself and went back to stock...even after I uninstall updates...it does it again. Haha

A black or blue transparent market would be cool.

Thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
He updated his market to the newest version ;) :D
[Android Apps and Games] madeSICC:
There is a update for the xda app. Would you be able to update your version for us?
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
Sure :) Post the update please for me (make sure it's not the premium version ;))
[Android Apps and Games] selders59:
After you uninstall the market update just go into titanium backup/select market updater/select freeze

This will stop you from losing your themed market.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but will this work with premium? TIA

Ooops.... I don't know how I overlooked that.lol My bad.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
You're fine :D Let me know if you have any other (XDA Legal) request though :p
[Android Apps and Games] MДЯCЦSДИT:
You could have an update. Zip patch the drawable part of the premium app if it is installed.

Oh and BTW, nice work on Android and the epic.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpaler747:
It doesn't work like that. I'd have to metamorph it, and that currently doesn't support non-system apps.
[Android Apps and Games] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Yeah I was thinking metamorph but didn't know it was only system apps.
[Android Apps and Games] BBlunts456:
Actually I do have a request. Ill PM it to you so this thread doesn't go off topic. Thanks
