Transparent notification bar on custom launchers? - HTC One X+

Sense looks really nice with the semi-transparent notification bar, but it doesn't recognize other launchers the same way and keeps the fully black bar as in most normal apps. Is there a way to enable this on custom launchers? Possibly by editing the SystemUI.apk, or tricking the phone into thinking the launcher is Sense? Someone asked about it in this thread (and made a nice graphic for it), but nothing came of it. Hopefully some progress can be made here. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Although I am not an expert, but I think it has got more to do with the launcher and has nothing to do with the phone.. i.e. the phone really does not care if it is Sense or not... the transparancy is a feature of the launcher.
so, may be you could request the developer of the launcher to introduce this feature

Well apex launcher has an option for this now. You have to be rooted though.

Should do.... Try it. Just take a backup of your two framework.apk's and systemUI first incase it goes pear shaped...

Widgetsoid Color Codes

Anybody got the color codes to match that snot green color in 2.3.x? Using Widgetsoid 2.x donate, and figure while I'm on Evervolv, might as well make everything uniform.

Dunno or care at this point. Your signature makes sense now.
Haven't used widgetsoid on a sense rom yet, I've never liked the notification tray widget anyway. I expected toggles to work, not just pull up a widget. Maybe tasker fixes this?
Worth getting the donate version anyway, very handy and customizable, though I should've look at the alternate icons before I bought them!

My Widgetsoid toggles work and don't bring up the widget. There's an option you've gotta select to enable it. Some phones the toggles don't work so it gives the widget popup option.

background wallpaper on sense 4+

Is that true that on sense 4.1 the background on the home isn't moving anymore while sliding through the pages? I think that it would be very disappointing in the case..

I missed the scrolling wallpapers too.. With the Apex or Nova launcher (and problably some more) you can "restore" the scrolling wallpaper option, but then you can't use the Sense widgets anymore.. :/
On the jelly Bean waiting thread on the one s section someone suggest that this feature may be restored by changing a value inside Rosie but I'm not sure

I'm very pissed off now, I have red that HTC has also removed 3d sliding effect on the home, this suck completely.

Sense 4+
p.s. on 4.0.4 with sense 4, it worked very well.

Possiblity of a Hybrid Rom sense 4+ with 5?

I was wandering if there is a way to make a hybrid rom or if a dev would be willing to try to make one. I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

The one Sense 4+ widget I don't miss is FriendStream. I know some don't like the fact that it isn't removable from the homescreen, but BlinkFeed beats FriendStream by a country mile.
I love blinkfeed.

Blinkfeed is great if your into the whole "social" thing but what if your not? Sense 4 for me right now is were I'm at. Maybe Sense 5.1 will bring back some of the widgets I want. Also blinkfeed would be better if it had like emails and messages like windows phone. Its really just a fancy RSS reader.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.

HTC One Compatible with DNA

I have found that a lot of the HTC One theme development is flashable on our DNA's. I don't want people to go out flashing whatever they want and then bricking there devices. I just want to make aware the ease of making the themes from One work with DNA and I wanted to invite people to post there modified UI and framework stuff from the one here so we can all enjoy it.

Go the top page in your app drawer. Pull down on the app drawer to reveal the menu options. Press the three dot menu bar and choose grid size. Theres tons of neat stuff there too.

I love the Nova launcher. It lets me shrink the icons to my liking and allows me to have a scrollable dock, both features I missed from my jailbroken iPhone 5.
