[APP MOD REQ] Weather lockscreen background

I have always loved the weather lockscreen but the only thing that sets me back to not apply it is the background of it..
Can anyone please change the background to transparent so that it can show the lockscreen wallpaper or atleast give it a more gorgeous looking background??
I know there are awesome modders and themers with us here..
The wallpaper background image inside is a
.m10 file..
Here's the apk from stock 2.17 firmware..

Well, without the required tools avalible to edit the images for the background, all you can do is disable the background all together. This leaves it solid black(no wallpaper) Here it is. I just edited it & tested on 2.17 firmware.
Just push to system/app & set permissions.

Take a look into the Idlescreen_base.apk...
I think there is nothing that looks like a m10 File for a Backgoundimage...
so...
after deleting the 3 m10 files...
what about xml or smali editing to set the link to the selected Sense-BG?

It's possibble. You put the app in app folder and in one of xml file in settings.apk you add a line for run this app.
And I know is possibble to hide this application from menu but I do not know how to do it.

I think I understand you.
For example if you want have LiveWallpapersPicker.apk in Settings, put this app in system/app folder next
recompile the Settings.apk and go to Settings\res\xml.
Find the xml file (in this case) about Wallpaper and write a line.
For example
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Live Wallpaper" android:summary="LiveWallpaperPicker">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.wallpaper.livepicker" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.wallpaper.livepicker.LiveWallpaperListActivity" />
</PreferenceScreen>
all lines you can find in AndroidManifest.xml file in app folder.
If this is not what you meant I'm sorry.

settings.xml can be.
like for launcher
Code:
<com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="@string/launcher_settings_title" android:key="launcher_settings" settings:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_launcher">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.launcher" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.launcher.MyLauncherSettings" />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>
in this case you must add icon in drawable-mdpi and name in the line.

[Guide] Add OGBatteryMod to your ROM

I found this guide here and this is what I did differently from it to make this work for us. You can use the linked file to click an app to change the icon or you can add it into settings in your rom. For those that don't know what this does this probably isn't the thread for you. Just wait until you see it popping up in the roms you use. This should work universally for ND8 builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730108
Now instead of following all of his steps and not finding what you're searching for I will simplify this some to make it quicker. You will want to search for this and replace it throughout the smali file in your decompiled systemui.apk (\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\ph one\PhoneStatusBar.smali)
Find all instances of
Code:
Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/BatteryController;
and replace with
Code:
Lcom/ghareeb/BatteryMod/BatteryController;
Then open (\SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml) and find [This may already be changed if you used tdunham's 1% battery mod]
Code:
<com.android.systemui.BatteryMeterView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="12.0dip" android:layout_height="18.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="0.33000004dip" android:layout_marginStart="5.0dip" />
and replace it with
Code:
<ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip" android:layout_marginStart="2.0dip" />
Now most importantly you need to add these smali files to your systemui so they're in (systemui/smali/com/ghareeb/BatteryMod)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2706746&stc=1&d=1398368939
Then add the OGBatterymod.apk of your choice to system/app. I didn't provide one in this guide sorry but maybe I will upload one eventually. You can easily look for one to add, all the old ones should work.
To add it to secsettings under display
Decompile secsettings.apk and open (\SecSettings\res\xml\display_settings.xml)
Find
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/notification_panel_title" android:key="notification_panel_edit" android:fragment="com.android.settings.NotificationPanelMenu" />
Add this under that line
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/battery_mod" android:summary="@string/battery_mod_desc">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.ghareeb.battery" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.ghareeb.battery.Settings" />
</PreferenceScreen>
Now open (\SecSettings\res\values\string.xml) and add this
Code:
<string name="battery_mod">OGBattery Mod</string>
<string name="battery_mod_desc">Change battery icon and charging animation.</string>
For those who don't want to add this to settings for some reason you can find one with the icon so you can just open the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758088
Thanks to @OsamaGhareeb and @meawww also @axel06 for his that I linked with the icon instead of having to have it in settings if anyone would like to do it this way.

Dude you are awesome! I can't wait to get on this. Have to wait till the weekend though.

BTW this works great! Thanks again.

Great guide man. I've been trying to get this mod going using some of the other guides out there, but no luck. Glad I found this. A couple of questions; I don't see a \ph one\ folder in my statusbar smali. Is that typo? Should it be: \SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\PhoneStatusBar.smali. If so, I followed all steps but I get the following error when trying to recompile. Is it a syntax error?
Edit: Sorry about the path question. Dummy me. As for the recompile error, I think it has something to do with one of the smali files in the Ghareeb zip?

Try using a different apktool. I think I used 2 beta. The different apk tools use different parameters and I can't remember exactly what you need to change it to for it to recompile just this minute

[GUIDE][MOD] Make full framework/rom transparent(any colour) Easiest Method

I was searching galaxy y forums to make my rom transparent and I got few guides but none of them worked
So I find a way my self (with help of my seniors) :laugh:
You need-->
* framework-res.apk of your rom
* apktool or any tool to recompile or decompile
* text editor like notepad++
* 7zip
* patience
* 5 minutes
Procedure-->
*Decompile framework-res.apk
* Open decompiled framework-res.apk folder and find res/values/styles.xml
* open it via notepad++
Note--> styles.xml is the key file, it control all apps layout and look.
* In styles.xml search for <style name="Theme"> this is the main theme layout. all app uses this.
* Under <style name="Theme"> search for <item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
*Now change this to <item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
* Now add this line <item name="windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
below this line--> <item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item> this line makes all system apps background to transparent.
Now you have to ways to set transparency and colour [Very Important part] Use any one method you like
first method -->
Make a transparent image save it as png file. Make sure it has correct resolution(for galaxy y it's 240 x 320 )
Dont make full transparent, it looks odd
Save it and paste in drawable ldpi (Might be mdpi/hdpi for other devices)
Now open res/values/styles.xml and look for <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
Change this to <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/image</item> *(here I save my png named with "image",You can save it with any name)
Save it and recompile with original signature and push it to your system/framework folder :laugh:
second method -->
open res/values/styles.xml and look for
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
Change this to <item name="windowBackground">#80ffffff</item> or any other color hex code as u want. First two digits control transparency.
Save it and recompile with Original Signature and push it to system/framework and done.
Important notes-->
1.I use TickelMyAndroid tool to recompile and decompile..It's easy to use and there's an option to sign with original signature..If u don't use tickel my android then u need to do below steps
Compile framework-res.apk and open it with 7zip and delete resources file . open stock framework (unedited) with 7zip,, and open edited framework with 7zip.
drag and drop resources file and res folder from unedited to edited framework..
Thats it. Push it to system/framework.
2.If u push framework through mobile (root explorer or any root browser) then first change permission of framework-res.apk to r-w--r--r and then push
3.This procedure for stock rom.. If you use any custom roms then in styles.xml the codes might be setted already to transparency.. Then you just need to skip those lines and leave them and do the Rest procedure

Awesome

Basically, They are all same guides. It doesn't matter which one you try, you'll be doing same steps. The link i've posted above contains 4 guides including the ones you've posted here.
Anyway, a nice try !

I want to make more i have future ideas for a superman clock and a number of other clocks if you have any ideas im more than happy to try them out. Just Message me. I make clocks to work for Lollipop and Kitkat. If you Run lollipop on g3 and have a ROM and you chose Xposed over quick circle "DONT FLASH THESE"
Space Clock:
Lollipop: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zoi9o79v4xk5f64/space%20Clock%20for%20lollipop.zip?dl=0
Kitkat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/75lm8gelp2olcq8/space%20clock%20for%20kitkat.zip?dl=0
Update!!! Im working on bringing my space clock to marshmellow & working on a brand new clock called "around the world" which will have a number of moving objects a hot air balloon and clouds, a Plane and a number of monuments form countries around the world. While will also slowly rotate.

I can't decompile it with apktool, so I can't help you.

Inorder to decrypt the file you need decompile the apk.( There are some great tool for easy decopilation of apk).
I've already modified these clock for g2 running g3 rom which has a rectangular case.
Moreover to remove the date which appears behind your second's hand you need to edit the smali file which you'll get by decompiling the apk.
Hence you need to learn how to decompile and edit smali file.

I too couldn't decompile the apk from 5.0 even though it has been updated to decompile 5.0 apps.

Mmm well im running kitkat atm. So i night try that then. Ive got rid of date i just want to customise it more to behonest lol. I like digital but i want spinny clock. Is apktool the best to use??

well ive decompiled and im begining the smali edit lol ... this should be intresting

Green:- Hour
White:- Minute
Orange:- Second (All working good. Couldn't remove the date bg.)
I attached a zip file which will add digital clock to you analog clock (3rd clock), just flash using twrp.
It didn't add the files to change the clock face so that you can add your own style. Also it won't remove the date.
Flash at your risk. Also DO make a backup of LGAlarmClock.apk if you want to remove the mod.
Tested on cloudyG3 2.1 for G2 (G3A based rom).
Only for kitkat.

Is it possible to make it work on aosp based ROMs??
Thx

okay i cant edit the XML at all its encrypted and ive tried loads to try edit it, and if you want to remove the date thing then you have to start coding from the WHITE analog Clock, but i cant edit the xml otherwise i might be able to stop the double bg, its only because "I imagine" the digital code is looking for a bg and because its been planted on top of the analog its using the same variable to call the same bg, there for reproducing it lol, but i cant do anything with the xml file i cant edit anything i cant view it at all lol, its encrypted.
and if i wanted to i cant seem to recompile the apk i edit wont do it so im still stuck at this lol

Okay! I think!! (This is me just assuming) Your xml works not by plonking all the digital code into the analoug code but your calling the digital code from the digial clock xml? So is it possible then to edit the digital.xml to remove it looking for a bg. And flash it? The same way you made itflash the clock? Sorry so many replies but i keep thinking of different things lol

Yes you are right!!
It is possible to edit the digital clack too. If you want to change the background of digital clock then edit the b2_quickcircle_digital_bg.png in raw-xxxhdpi folder.
Here's what i've edited in the analog_quick_circle_black.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:background="@android:color/black" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

</RelativeLayout>

May be i've edited this a bit from the last time.
But you can get the idea from it.
And if you want to create the zip file for it then put this xml file in your decompiled folder of lgalarmclock.apk/res/layout and compile it. Then open the compiled apk with winrar and extract this file(analog_quick_circle_black.xml) from there and place the file in zip(vrtheme/system/priv-app/lagalarm.apk/res/layout). Compress and flash it.
Also i've created a new for g2's window case:- View attachment 3075006

That's awesome Clock haha!! Okay well I'm going to carry on having a play once its done it look awesome lol. But cheers dude. Really helped ! Ill keep updating if i find anything new or have done it lol
