Ok i have found a way to make any wallpaper appear with transparent notification and onscreen keys just like stock wallpapers, on stock launcher. It is so easy and i just haven't seen it reported anywhere so I thought I should mention it. All u need to do basically is to zoom in just a little bit on the wallpaper when selecting it. I mean crop it just a little bit. You will see it works like a charm
Updated instructions: long tap on homescreen. Go to wallpapers. Select ANY picture u want. Comp!ete action using "Crop picture". Tap on the upper blue arrow and drag it down just a little bit( really just a timy bit is enough). Select crop. U are done. Enjoy

Screenshots incoming, sorr for zip format but size was too big for jpeg and i had no time to upload them to another site and then post urls. It works like charm the photo i set is one i took with my camera but works on any pic or wallpaper
You can crop it even less than i did but i cropped so much so that it shows on screenshot
that "semi transparent" notification bar is usual. The really transparent notificaton bar is when you dont see any edge of it. So, sorry but its nothing new.

Then quick question. If i dont do the above, i get black bar and black (non transparent) buttons on my homescreen unless i select a stock wallpape?that means there is something wrong with my device? Please advise... Only thing i get that semitransparent effect with other pics is when i do the above. Is there something wrong?

Hi,
Can anyone of you provide me the StatusSwitch.apk (widget) from your X10 mini. It's available in /system/app, you can use rootexplorer or something else..
I actually screwed up my widget while trying to make it transparent
I have already made RecentCalls widget transparent please see the screenshot and you may use it if you like it.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5182056970/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5181456837/
All you have to do is transfer RecentCalls.apk to your sdcard and using rootexplorer copy it to '/system' first, change the permissions as shown in the image

Yes, it is in Settigs.apk/res/drawble-ldpi
The problem is they are all .9.pngs, so if you happen to make transparent post it here. If you are not sure of what .9.png is, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5206698. Its much different than editing a normal png.
I have switchpro widget (its only 99c US or 74 Euro Cents ) its awesome.. really easy to change the look, you can have 1-8 buttons a mix of whatever you like or heaps of single button widgets you can move around if you prefer, you can make it transparent, glass or normal (grey) you can change the colour of the icons, and the notification colour at the bottom...
SwitchPro
Worth checking out anyways..

Probably a bad download. Thanks for letting me know it works.
No problem!
This is a great theme. I would like to give MrDSL a big thanks as he does not even have a MT4G to test this theme on. Oh and there is much more skinned than shows in the screen shots. Many of the apps like gmail, and market etc have also been reskinned. The market is a beautiful transparent with a touch of blue.
I will try to get some screen shots of this up today.
Where's the redhead? lol

I think you have to get that wallpaper separately. I'm not where I can upload it right now. Maybe MrDSL can upload it.
It should have done the wallpaper with the theme but maybe its handled different on MY4G..You can get it here
How would I go about getting JUST the cool status bar? Really digging the battery speedometer. =0)
MrDSL for some reason the Wallpaper is not working. I did see your wallpaper in the framework-re.apk/drawable-hdpi but for some reason it is not installed or even available through the wallpapers function in settings.
MrDSL I have noticed a couple more minor things. The Google Search widget is completely transparent, not sure if this is by design? There are just 2 symbols on either side, the microphone and Google icon on the other, nothing in the middle but the text search. Also in the widget selection menu after selecting google search widget, the list of options or type of search widget, the icon for web is missing.
When you open up the search in the browser the microphone on the right side can't be seen as it is white in color and so it blends in with the search frame.
I hope this makes sense and I will later put up some screen shots for you.
great work!
This is the real deal right here, love the color scheme with great detail!!
Great job!!
Ok MrDSL here are some Screen Shots of some of the possible minor issues. I will post some more screen shots in another thread also, don't want to be too confusing.
Great job. I really like it.

Yeah the Google widget is transparent by design although that blue Google icon on the right isn't suppose to be there..I missed a image edit there..attached is how it should look..I will fix it later..its a market app so if you want just delete it and install it from market.
Personal preference I guess cause I like it transparent on my home screen and I know the icons are there

try some launchers
launcher only will "remove" that buble corner from your homescreen, not from dial screen. that you need to install an apps like fullscreencaller or that kind of app.
Good afternoon!
I have exactly the same question. How to remove this ugly picture? It's bugging me for some time. What were the developers thinking when they create such things? For f****s sake it is a 16M color display, with HD support? And to look at this UGLY out of resolution default caller id?
Is there a way maybe to modify framework?

oh, right, my bad
this file should be in framework. but when i searched there is no file like this. must be some translucent png so i didn't found. just find that file and replace it with any same dimensional file or full transparent png
You should install cm7 instead, them you can change both the call screen and the incoming call screen to a couple of different alternatives

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but couldn't find the answer else where.
So, did any one figure out how to remove that useless back ground picture in contacts or replace with a different grahic or something ?
I tried to search for an app (like FullScreenCallerId for Symbian) that does that, but couldn't find one.
Thanks.
All you need to do is change callhandling_contact_picture_default.png in SemcPhone.apk. Either try to do something artistic or do what I did and just make it transparent.
Hello!
This is my lockscreen right now: http://i.imgur.com/MkvfR.png
As you may see, the clock and the date under the clock is pretty hard to see. Therefore I want to make the text bold, so I can see it better. Does anyone know how I can do this? If I can't make it bold, I would like to change color of it if possible.
Thanks in advance!

rather than that a simple Dark background picture will do the trick, since the present one is too white for the text's to be highlited

at least u can use a photo editor software to reduce the background whiteness so that u can retain the girl's photo as well as ur issue also resolves

If I would do that, would I be able to reduce the background whiteness so much that I can see the clock and the picture is still OK?
If so, could you recommend me a photo editor that has the ability to reduce the background whiteness?

Apparently, there is no fix to this issue. GS2 displays white-colored text on lockscreen. You've set a white wallpaper which matches with color of text. Result- no text. white + white + white. Use a background with dark or at least non-white colors.
Started a new thread with more colour options, the op was getting too crowded
So I'm sharing a theme I made for anyone else that wants a lightweight theme.
Main changes from stock:
-iOS inspired dialer.
-Dark switches, system settings & quick settings icons.
-Changed brightness & volume sliders.
-Google sans font
-Darker text in some areas & and some system dialogue box backgrounds.
Only tested on my Mate 20 Pro, but will try to fix any errors if any are found.
Just remove ".zip" to use the theme
Thanks to @maurydes for allowing me to use some elements from his blue gradient theme, can be found here:
https://themesmanager.app/links/aGJU
*Launcher Icons made with Iconpackstudio:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.iconpackstudio
(if anyone wants to use them, can also update to include any missing icons)
Mega link for the icon pack: https://is.gd/s672uw
11 Feb 20
*Added green (grn), orange (org) & red accent colours, plus Gboard gradient backgrounds.
If anyone want to use a different dialer colour you can unzip the theme and swap com.android.contacts.
***Known bug, the subject text on Gmail notification is dark grey, this only happens when the qs & notification are black, still trying to fix this***
Great work all around, just some tips... Make the names in contacts a little bit highlighted. Also u should change the background color of sharesheet as attached

When you share post on Instagram, that's when the share sheet comes. N yes , make that name highlighted as you have shown in your screen shot. Also another bug I found is that when an SMS comes in Google messages the mark as read and reply option is invisible and not readable

Ok, I'll take a look later this evening but I don't use Instagram or Google messages so might need you to test. Also probably do a separate new theme since I prefer the darker text, any other requests for the new theme?

No thanks, darker text is fine, no need to change , if u can make or keep it as stock contact dark theme would be nice. Just hopefully if u can make the text readable for Google messages WhatsApp etc... Would be great. Love the pitch black shades

Had some time today, theme updated v1.4, fixed dark notification text, made text in contacts a few shades lighter & share sheet in Instagram darker.
Let me know if you see anything else, i dont use many stock apps so might have missed something.

Suggestion, possible to make the shade of grey more darker of the share sheet in Instagram.
I'll keep u up to date on any bugs if found... Love the changes u made into contact, texts looks much better
Possible to make the subject of email in notification readable in Gmail if not white... Some other color to read the subject text when u receive email.
Another bug found on the default weather app... Weird black bar at the top, even after restarting phone. Also a suggestion can u not make the font color bold in settings but more like as stock, less highlighted... Better for the eyes

Found another bug while expanding notification for Gmail and facebook
Just want to thank u so much for taking any suggestions into consideration. Very appreciated... Near perfect dark theme.
Hi, is it possible to make the Instagram share sheet this shade of dark, u can use marydues pitch black theme for reference. It will look really cool n cohesive with the rest of theme.
Btw, wanted to ask why is the contact not fully pitch black, it's a shade lighter than the bottom part and search box.
Also a suggestion as u can in the first screenshot of the file manager, is it possible to make the font color of the general theme like this in terms of boldness, like the main title n subtitle of this shade of white.
Very big bug report, icons n texts are not visible per screenshot in the in call app

Yeah, I was rushing and left out the incall UI it's fixed now, also fixed the expanding notification (v1.6).
I've just seen your post about the file manager and contacts, both are intentional but I'll take a look tomorrow.
