[Q] Couple of MIUI questions

I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.
1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency
in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?
2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.
3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?
4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.
Sorry for the list.

Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.
But from what I read on launcher pro's forums, LP doesn't extend the wallpaper through the area where the notification bar is. Is your bar black when you set to completely transparent?

I couldn't even find a setting for transparency of the notification bar.

If you are running launcher Pro... menu to prefs to appearance settings to dock background

Blade themes and apps

This one is for Blade Themes and Applications!

Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.

Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,

There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

Widgetlocker themes

Hi, can anyone tell me how i am supposed to use a theme for widgetlocker at all please?
I downloaded 3 files and chose the option of install and add, but there is only my phone lock showing, no icons to choose from and no wallpaper that was supposed to come with it.
I have no idea where the file has saved to or anything, and well being new to all of this android stuff i m a bit confused....
thanks for any help you can give me.

Click the following-
Lots of themes
Google is your Friend.
Hope this helps.

Long press on a slider, or press menu then add slider and you can choose theme. It doesn't change the theme as soon as you install.

pretty simple to edit,
just put it in sd:data/com.teslacoil.widgetlocker/themes and it shud come up on the app
ive attached screenshots and zip file hopefully they work
and yes im a noob lol

How do you assign the lock homie wsllpaper? I copied the the theme to correct location & naming convention is right but canae see paper? Do you have to save wallpaper to download folder and assign from there or am i losing the plot?

the wallpapers separate you can download this attachment
that was just a screenshot of my lockscreen on my phone
theres an option in widget locker settings under look & feel where you can select a wallpaper tick alternative wallpaper and select whatever you want

Is there any way you can make a theme just like this without the lock icon in the middle? Thanks.

Hi
Quick question RE: Widget locker
I've only ever used this biefly on my old Desire.....this was some time back so my memory is a little hazy
i seem to remember that on occasions that it would either flash up the standard HTC lock screen or require me to unlock one then the other.....or something similar to this
Does this lockscreen work without the above issues (or indeed, any issues) on the S2 ?
is there any lag or any other nasties ??
Cheers

Works fine on mine so far. always showing the widgetlocker except after a fresh reboot. slight lag on the slider at times. my only concern was battery life but it doesn't seem to affect much.

Moto dock on Go launcher?

I just installed Go Launcher Ex. Is it possible to have the normal moto dock with Go Launcher?
The normal moto dock has the blue and red buttons for dialer and contacts. I'm not very fond of the Go Launcher dock which has transparent buttons...
Help please?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Im not sure about getting the Motoblur buttons but there are plenty of themes available for GoLauncherEX. Just check out the GoStore and get another theme.
You can also simply long press on the dock icon and chose replace/Custom Icon to change the icon from the transparent ones to one of your choice, or pick default icon to choose the Apps default icon.
The more themes you have, the more icons you can pick from.
hope that helps
Stick with GoLauncher, its got so many good things

Check this out.

Thanks for your reply pprakash.
It doesn't create the desired effect . There's no option for transparent icons on GoLauncher...
Is there any way to replace the GoLauncher dock with the original Motorola dock? (3simple buttons for call,app drawer & contacts)??

The second attachement is the Transparent icons. You can replace the DOCK background with the first attachement in the post and the individual icons with the Transparent one. You need to set two places for same action. For Ex. Left two positions should be dialer and right two positions to be Contacts.

@Prakash: Dude you're a genius! Thanks to you it worked perfectly!! Now I have the same old Motorola dock with GoLauncher installed. This is awesome!
One more question: Is it possible to remove the "Home" button/icon that appears at the bottom of the app drawer? It takes up an entire row of space which could have been utilized to show more app icons. As it is I can use the capacitive button to go back to the homescreen anyway.

@gamefrk ... I am not genius. Just sharing back what I learnt here .. Regarding the Home Button .. Not yet. It can't be disabled anyway as of now. Probably you can contact GO team for that ... they may release it in future I think. The workaround I use is Vertical scrolling. This makes Home button to be un-noticed

Even I use vertical scrolling, the home button doesnt go unnoticed for me...

[APP] Clean Clock Widget

I like seeing living things in my homescreen, and I was looking for a clock widget that had the seconds in it and couldn't find one that I really really like, that's why I developed this clock widget, It is simple, clean and beautiful, please give it a try and leave me some feedback right here.

Thanks.

Pretty nice but I don't like the font. Would be so much better with just regular Roboto or some other thin font.

I will be adding some new fonts to the preference screen soon.

You ever tried Minimalistic Text app-widget?
this app shows the time in text, the user-interface of all the settings is not pretty, but the widget shows a nice clock as text.
I installed your app, And i understand what you mean, just a plain simple clock as widget would be nice.
So when i wanted to use your clock i could not find it anywhere between the widgets in the menu?
Teoctist

If you could make the days more visible? Like putting in bottom and havin it full name?
Nice work

Downloading.

It should be in the widgets menu, sometimes when I install widgets that happens to me too, I believe that android takes some minutes to refresh the widgets in the widgets menu.

I'll be taking this into consideration, as I'm trying to add some differents styles to the widget.
