I was wondering if anyone could take the slick smoked glass background from the apk I posted and modify the newest version of smooth calender widget with it. The new version has a much nicer calender icon (Attached Below). The old version on the apk has an icon that looks kind of tacky. I've looked but I cannot seem to figure out how to modify this particular app.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can give a hand.
Wow, with all the amazing themers on this site nobody can give me any pointers or help me mod one simple app?
Maybe wait a bit more than 4 hours before you get discouraged.

4hrs? I think you missread the post times, This was posted a day ago. There have been over 50 views already. I'm not trying to be rude, nor am I expecting somebody to have to do it for me. I merely asked if someone with more expertise than me could either mod it or at least help me to do it. With over 50 views you would think someone would have said it can't be done or at least pointed me in the right direction.
I'm not sure if the newest version has added functionality etc. that you would also want, but if alll you want to do is change the icon you should be able to use APK Edit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890876) to update the older version with the newer icon. Hope this helps

smooth calender is a widget, I know how to change icons, this widget does not have a drawable-hdpi folder like most of the others. I'm looking to change the background of the most recent smooth calender widget from the matted black to the smooth smoked glass that is in the apk I provided in the OP, I just don't know how to do it on this particular app.
If that is not possible, I would like the icon I provided to replace the on that is in my provided apk, only problem is I don't think that would work because smooth calender changes the date each day on the icon.
Is there anyone that can at least give me some pointers?
Hi, i am new on this forum, but i have been following it for the past two months (great forum by the way). I own htc excalibur, and it is a great phone but there is only one thing I want to change and that are icons in start menu. I have found two softwares for changing icons ( JWMD icon changer, and Thekn's icon changer) and none of them worked on 3vo series ROM. So my question is, can someone help me, or make tutorial of making CAB file for icons, so when you install it on the phone all icons are changed. I have found one thread ( cant remember the name) where someone uploaded 2 packs of icons. If someone could show me how to make CAB file of icons, i will do my best to make as much icons packs as I can THANKS in advance

Just check out this tutorial
So I made an apk for zooper containing clock widgets, and I used many 3rd party fonts for it.
When I saved the widget to build apk , fonts are saved as .ttf.jet and I built the apk with eclipse .
But now people are reporting that they can't see the fonts I used.
Am I doing anything wrong or is it an issue with zooper?
Here's my app if you wanna take a look at. You can see the fonts I used in the preview while applying the widget.

You step into the same trap is I did mate. The solution to it is quite simple though: delete the .jet extensions from the font files and re-compile, then it should work again.
But before you do that, do me a favor and save your current eclipse project as a ZIP and send it to [email protected]. The dev said the problem with .jet-fonts should have been fixed and that he needed samples to work it out. Put a description in the email about your problem so he knows what it's about. I already send in a sample but the more the better, especially if they are from different sources

Fanks! I'll do that.
Hi all. When I had my LG G2, someone modded the homescreen weather widget to be transparent. I searched the threads and haven't seen anything mentioned for the G3, but I've seen a ton of other mods. So I was wondering if anyone here is working on this mod? Or I wanted to put in a request for someone who has the knowledge of how to make it transparent, to make one, if possible. I'm trying to stick with the LG launcher and I think a transparent SmartNotice weather widget would give it a much cleaner look. Thanks in advance. Btw, I have the Verizon variant. I don't know if it would only be needed for this phone or if an universal one could be made for all variants. If there are any files needed from the Verizon variant, then let me know. I'll pull and upload them if pointed in the right direction.
Edit: All credit goes to @KiakSvk for getting this solved for me. All of the work was done and created by him. I just modified some of his .pngs for my own liking on my own personal device, but he found the files and did all of the leg work, so make sure to hit his "Thanks" button if you plan on using his stuff. You can see a pic of his setup here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54907737&postcount=16. If you want to get the files he uploaded and change your SmartNotice to look like his, then you can find his post with the download files and instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54929497&postcount=25. The pic below is my final setup after modifying some of the files he uploaded.
I know it's not quite the same but if you use zooper there is a lg widget for that. Can't remember if there is a transparent one in the pack but if not would be easy enough to make transparent.
Is this the one?

Saw Zooper in the Play Store but its not transparent. But your pic in the 2nd post is exactly what I'm looking for. That one is for the G2 correct?
Where can I get this?

What are you looking for? I'm looking for a transparent weather widget with Smart Notice transparent and functional also. (That hasn't been done yet.) But if you're looking for a transparent weather widget similar to the one on the G2, then like the poster mentioned above, you can download Zooper from the market (you will have to buy the pro version), then you can download a G3 weather widget theme to go with it. They have a few transparent widgets like the one posted above.
It's gotta be possible to make the LG weather widget transparent, even the smart notice one. Anyone good with decompiling and editing apks? I can do it but I really don't like to.

The picture is the zooper one and I made it transparent, there is a semi transparent one in the pack and I just played with it.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I've purchased some great weather widgets over the years. I just want the stock weather widget transparent so that I can continue to use the smart card feature. I messaged the guy who made the transparent G2 widget, but he hasn't responded back yet.
No worries, let us know if you get a result
any progress? i mean if anyone made it? that would be great

Would be great to have the stock weather widget transparent. I'm aslo have been looking for this.

No. Unfortunately, the guy that I messaged who made the LG G2 weather widget transparent, never messaged me back. I actually was going to put a $10 bounty on this. Not much, but hopefully something will entice somebody to work on this.
Edit: I just edited my topic and post to let everyone know that I'm looking for the SmartNotice weather widget to be transparent and not the regular weather widget. If anyone wanted the regular weather widget transparent, then Zooper widget from the market has one that looks identical toLG's widget.

Themed and working smart notice widget.
It is also possible to make it transparent, but you will need some skills.
If you decompile the app, there are edits you can make to the files in the folders such as layers, xml, etc. Its just a matter of finding the right file.

Hey, where can I get that?

There are a couple of LG Home themes that make the stock weather and smart notice transparent. Search for the Tahiti (blue, white, and pink) themes. I don't remember where I downloaded them but they do theme the weather and smart notices.
Dunno if it works for you guys but maybe it's worth a shot?

I have been playing around with Zooper for awhile now, but I can't seem to get a grip with the whole bitmap. I have been trying to create a battery bar using minimalistic battery icons that I found on Deviantart. I came across a thread that instructed to make sure a ZIP of your icon pack is within the sdcard/iconsets or something along those lines.. I have tried this but did not show up when I choose an iconset :/...
Hopefully this isn't confusing for anyone haha.. Would greatly appreciate it though if anyone can help me with this ;_;
