Lock screen status bar issues - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So this may sound strange, and very picky. But here goes - When I have a stock samsung wallpaper on my lock screen wallpaper, the status bar up top is transparent.. Looks awesome! When I put a wallpaper from Zedge on there, the status bar is that ugly grey color. So i think hmph must be the non stock wallpapers. My wife puts a zedge wallpaper on her lock screen (identical vzw gs4) BOOM! HERS IS TRANSPARENT. I've been able to get it to be transparent by doing like a weird combo of stock wallpaper on both, then non stock wallpaper on lock, then back to non stock on home and it is transparent...but then I went to change it again and it's back to grey... is this a damn bug or anyone else know what is going on!?!?
thx!

Anyone else have this "problem"?

Wow cool find, thanks for posting
yea this app is awesome. wallpaper doesn't look pixelated in any picture size.

Problem I have with this is when rotating the tab, I get black screen with spinning timer in the middle for a couple of seconds and then the wallpaper appears

I feel like such an incompetent turd for having to ask..
But Im seriously more confused with this than any other app ive found. soo annoying.

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII

[Q] Do you have burn-in on screen of your beloved SGSII
Yes I do have a screen burn which looks like the power off symbol on my bottom half of screen. I have no clue where it comes from though... Never had something like that shown on my display.
It is only visible on brighter gray and if you look close so since I prefer colourful wallpaper I only see it sometimes when pulling down notification bar

I have it also a tiny spot 2mms across which is seen on gray and brighter colors, not that much, almost nothing on dark colors.

Yes, I have slight burn-in from the AOSP Clock (time and the buttons at the bottom).
I've got one above the misdemeanor towards right corner of the screen. Gonna replace screen, never seen on previous exchanges models.

Verizon Note II Home Screens!!!

Alright, let's see what everyone is sporting for their home screens!
Here is mine:
I like a clean look. I don't like having contacts scattered all over the screen hence the invisible folder under the contacts widget. I find organizing everything into folders where each screen is its own sort of "hub" keeps away from the traditional scattered grid-icon approach and allows one to better enjoy the wallpaper.
For the Lock Screen I am using:
Widget Locker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy53aWRnZXRsb2NrZXIiXQ..
The clock widget is from Ultimate Custom Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImluLnZpbmVldHNpcm9oaS5jdXN0b213aWRnZXQiXQ..
Using the Dark MotoBlur UCCW skin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkmotoblur.uccwskin.dsaif&feature=search_result
Notifications are from Missed It! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.igecelabs.android.MissedIt&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5pZ2VjZWxhYnMuYW5kcm9pZC5NaXNzZWRJdCJd
The red unlock slider is the "RedLineMod" available through the Widget Locker app.
The "LED On/Off" button is a custom made Minimalistic Text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.devmil.minimaltext&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmRldm1pbC5taW5pbWFsdGV4dCJd widget, and activates the LED through TeslaLED
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy5mbGFzaGxpZ2h0Il0.
Everything else on the lock screen is a widget made through Minimalistic Text.
Home Screen:
I am using NovaLauncher in place of the stock launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy5sYXVuY2hlciJd
The main home screen with the clock, CPU usage, battery etc... is all made through Minimalistic Text. The phone / messaging etc.. icon is from the Minimal Text Theme icon pack https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=minimaltext.kyledesignedme.adwtheme&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1pbmltYWx0ZXh0Lmt5bGVkZXNpZ25lZG1lLmFkd3RoZW1lIl0.
For the other screens I am stacking the Games, Contacts, Apps, and Media widgets made in Minimalistic Text on top of a black bar from Minimalistic Text (allow overlapping widgets in NovaLauncher settings)
The folder icons are replaced with custom made icons from Simple Text-Text Icon Creator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.simpletext&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yZWRwaHguc2ltcGxldGV4dCJd
Lastly, the invisible folder under the contacts widget is just a blank Simple Text icon.
The wallpaper I got from Zedge and modified, you can get it here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8864209/2012-12-02%2023.01.27.jpg

Obviously, I like a lot of customization. Here's what I'm using, in order from left to right, top to bottom:
Launcher: beanstown106's 5x4 custom stock launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026233
SystemPanel end all tasks widget
AudioManager small widget (minimal transparent white skin)
Temp+CPU V2 widget
Extended Controls widget
Beautiful Widgets smaller home widget (curved-blue-contrast clock skin + SkullGray weather skin)
- I chose that skin because of the font it uses, transparency is at full so none of the blue shows up.
Pure Calendar widget (transparent skin, all text colors set to white)
Launch-X Pro (Minimalist white icon pack, manual icon selections for apps with no matching icon)
Desktop Visualizer (Used to create the shortcuts with custom icons and text for the phone/gmail/sms/browser buttons in the stock launcher, also using the Minimalist white skin)
Not visible but I'm also using Home2 Shortcut to restore double pressing home to open an app (I use it to open gmail)
my lame home screen lol

Thx. I usually take those comments with a grain of salt anyways. People tend to install "cool new apps" and then tend to play with them a lot and wonder why their battery life isn't the same

Let me guess, you're a fan of the Ravens..

Is there a way to make a widget persistent?

Is there any way to make a selective widget, like the DuckDuckGo widget, persistent in the place of the Google search widget? I ask this because the Google search widget that is persistent doesn't take up a complete grid like it would if I was to add the DuckDuckGo widget to every page at the top.
Adding the DuckDuckGo widget drops everything down much further, even with another grid space added on Nova, than just having the persistent widget does.
I saw with Lightning Laughed you could "pin" a widget in place and it is almost like using a persistent widget, in that it stays in the same place as you scroll through homescreens, but its still very very different. I have also seen Overlays but that is completely different as well.
So is there any way to modify Nova, and of the other launchers, or a ROM to use the DuckDuckGo widget as persistent instead of the Google search bar?

Agreed, would love to do this.
Any thoughts?

I've been researching for the past couple of days and the closest thing I have been able to find is Lightning Launcher. Sadly that isn't even close to what I'm wanting. I'm going to keep looking and see if I ever run across something, which looks doubtful at this point...

Apparently SS Launcher allows pinning as well, I am currently emailing the Dev and discussing persistent widgets but I don't have much hope because he doesn't seem to know what I am talking about or the differences.
I am going to start looking for a way to edit it but I'm not very hopeful I'll find a solution.

Not at all, the ssLauncher Dev has no idea what I a, talking about, he doesn't speak English as his first language so its extremely hard for me to explain things to him. I eventually gave up.
I've heard that the Dev responsible for Action Launcher adds just about anything his users ask for so I am going to email him later today and see if he can and would add that. Ive been trying to figure this out for quite a while and no one knows anything about it and the few that do, I've found 2 people who supposedly know, don't want to explain what edits need to be made.
I'll post back when I get dome talking with the Dev over Action Launcher!

I have contacted the Action Launcher developer and am awaiting response. I will post with updates as soon as I hear anything.

Nice. Action launcher is beast. I don't always use it but it's one sick launcher

why don't you use a launcher that allow for widget overlapping so you don't have to worry about grid size?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2 since the money I spent on XDA Premium is now wasted with the update
Try this http://goo.gl/WzjRK
