So you are wanting to make the lockscreen fully transparent?

Try Paranoid Android, I'm not sure if they have a 4.3 Version yet, but they usually have options like that.
Xenonhd also have some great customization options, but they are still on 4.2
You could also go to settings>security>screen lock and set it to none. This will basically make your device open to the home screen when you press the power button, skipping the lock screen entirely

That's funny, a lot of ROMs have the option to set a custom lock screen wallpaper. I'm pretty sure cyanogenmod does...
That's my lockscreen you can see the difference between the original and set as wallpaper

Almost all custom ROMs have that option. And when you set a lockscreen wallpaper, it shouldnt have an overlay on top of that. Maybe its an issue with your ROM. I dont use that one.

I'm on Carbon ROM and I just tried a custom lockscreen wallpaper. The wallpaper was no darker than the original image. So, as I said, it may be your ROM.

Hi all
Is there a quick toggle mod for the notification drop down menu like found on stock TouchWiz and Sense devices? Not looking for widgets on the "desktop"
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can try Widgetsoid in the Market. It will allow you to place themed toggles in the notification area without a widget. Just make sure you select "hide widgets".
That could work, however, I was looking more for a hard mod that could be flashed in there, like in past devices that I've used that didn't feature this by default (back in the Sense 2.1 days).
Like this? Its available on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383210

I haven't seen a separate mod. You can always ask the rom developer to make a flashable zip for you.

Yes, as long as the major toggles are all there (wifi, bt, gps, etc...) that is exactly it. Of course, on Touch Wiz, it's just one horizontal line of toggles (like the widget on the Nexus), and that is the cleanest. On sense 3.0, it's a vertical list of toggles.

I tried turning on the notification toggle in widgetsoid, it doesn't even show up for me.
Also, seeing how the music player can have different buttons in the same row, I don't see why it can't be possible for other apps to use this functionality too.
Edit: Widgetsoid works perfectly, almost exactly the same as the CM toggle bar (sans the side scrolling)
Someone should be able to make a new app for ics,
you can add buttons in the dropdown now so it should be possible with out a custom rom or even root
Is this what you are looking for?

"With this app, you can place different toggles into your Android status/notification bar for quick access without having a dozen toggle-widgets on your homescreens
You can choose which toggles to display in the settings of the app. You can also choose to combine different toggles into one "all in one" notification.
Unfortunately, on most devices you can only define one action per notification, so on these it will show a small dialog with the available toggles when clicking on the "all in one" notification. But some devices (seems like all devices with HTC Sense ROM) can distinguish where in the notification you clicked and on these you don't have to see the dialog.
The app is for free in the Android market, would be nice to get some feedback"
So I found this app in the Market, and it runs pretty smooth on the Nexus 4, however does anyone know of any other one that will allow me to put a picture on my lockscreen?

I believe Xylon, JellyBeer, AOKP have working options. I would look into Xylon and JellyBeer. These are my 2 preferred. Both Highly customizable.

I found that maybe your perfect match would be Xylon. Has Lock Screen Transparency, Custom Wallpaper Setting for Lock Screen. All working. Tested myself.
Good Luck!

with widgetlocker you can set your own picture. but with both lockscreen apps the softkeys stay visable and can unlock the lockscreen
hope to see a solution for this in near future

You can hide the softkeys......on widgetlocker easily.
Go into advanced settings and then under root helper.
Hi,
Does anyone know if there are any app or trick to get this in stock?
I know Xylon has it but i want to keep stock by now.

Ohh, sorry didn't quite understand you! Well, that's ROM related, in ROM's that have that option, which is almost always on rom settings - lockscreen, you just enable / disable it ... I don't really think there's an app that can do that ...

Is there a way to get the notification bar when it drops down to be glassy like the new thing that shows up in iOS 7 when u swipe up and it shows some quick settings and stuff? I think it would look better than the dark grey see thru color.
Lots of ROMs let u chose a custom background picture for that, find a picture like that and use it or create one, you can even maker it semi transparent if you like...

I have been through so many roms, I can't remember which one allows you to, try paranoid or a PAC ROM. You can also Cook up your own on the online uot kitchen or pull the file from your phone and edit it.

Yeah pa's pie kinda blows. I tried it after using liquid's pie, did not like it at all. That fullscreen with no notification bar is no good at all. I still use liquidsmooth and have no issues and much more customization options with pie.

I haven't tried LS in a while. Probably not since January-ish on a GS3. What makes its pie different? I use PA because it is the only custom ROM I've run that performs as well as stock--but as I said, it's been a long time since trying LS.

OP, this doesn't answer your question, but this is one possible solution. Have you tried 0% nav bar Pie? That replaces the navigation bar with minimal Pie, but it leaves the status bar. You can then use an alternate launcher (I've been using Nova exclusively for well over a year) to hide the status bar. With this set up, your home screen will look as if it is in full screen mode, but you can still swipe the notifications bar down and see the status bar.
In PA setting/hybrid properties/interface change nav bar to 0% and you will have pie with status bar.
That works for now. Thanks. I would still prefer a widget though

What's funny about your statement is that Pie controls are based on the full screen mode in the aosp browser.. Paranoid Android is who originally merged that code and did all of the programming giving us Pie control. The other guys just took merged their code...

Good call. I didn't think about that.
OP, when you have full screen Pie activated, you can swipe toward the bottom of the screen outside of the Pie semi-circle to activate the quick tiles. If you place signal toggle in the quick tiles, you can view it that way.
Edit: This is dependent on your Pie being activated on the right side. When I activate Pie from the right side, swiping up brings up notifications and swiping down or left brings up quick tiles.

That is funny. However I can easily use ls pie and like the way it sits on the screen as well as the customization features. Whether it was taken from pa or not has no bearing on the ui ls implemented on its ROM. But to each his own.
