Gingerbread for Defrost 6.1a, CM 6.1.1 and Oxygen 1.0.4 AOSP
For those still running Froyo I’ve created a theme that replicates the stock gingerbread look.
This has taken me a long time to compile and maintain. It was not as simple as copying files from one APK to the other; it required xml editing, icon design and much probing into the gingerbread SDK to find all these files to bring you the most accurate Gingerbread look.
If you use this and like this please donate.

Instructions – not for Metamorphs
You have to be rooted to install these custom roms – if you are not rooted head to XDA and they should be able to help.
I can only support ROMs for the HTC Desire, however the Cyanogen(MOD) framework is very similar across the board. I believe porting to other HDPI devices is not hard and you are free to attempt this with these files.
Download the desired files to your SD Card, if you are on Cyanogen(MOD) or DeFrost you will also need to place the Colour config file “Gingerbread.xml” in /sdcard/CMTheme/
As with all flashable zips a NANDROID backup is recommended.
Flash the *.zip file either with ROM Manager or through recover as you would a ROM. You do not need to unzip these files.
Reboot the phone
If using Cyanogen(MOD) or DeFrost you will need to apply the colour theme (Settings > CyanogenMod settings > User interface > Tweaks extras > “Select Theme” > “Gingerbread”)
Enjoy your Gingerthemed Froyo
Instructions – for Metamorphs
To use the Metamorphs you need to have you desire S-Off’d and you must download Metamorph from the Market. Once you have this it’s pretty straight forward.
If you don’t have S’Off or can’t get Metamorph to work you can merge the files from a Metamorph into a theme (framework-res.apk) and then flash the theme through recovery.
I hope to write a tutorial on how to do this some time in the future.

Nice! thanks!
Looks good!
Sorry to ask what is likely a silly question, but where are the global text colours defined? I can't for the life of me find the config for the menus - all my popup menus are black-on-black in my attempt at this for CM6.1. :/

Use the xml colour file from the blog (you need to right click and download)
You should be able to rip all the "drawable-hdpi" files with no probs.

For CM
Try these 2 files - You need this colour file too (Copy to /sdcard/CMTheme) then sellect in CMSettings. (Right click and save-as)
For CM6.1 - Desire - Flash in recovery then apply colour file.
Grey CM6.1

That works for most of the UI, but the CMtheme stuff doesn't affect menus;
Is there a workaround?

I can't find the fix for this. I think it's in styles.xml search "panel" and remove the "inverse part", but this didn't recompile properly. I'm just using the old white menu pop-ups.

This is a more thoroughly themed file. Unfortunately I can't post screenshots as I'm not at my computer. To get the keyboard to work you might need to clear the cache of the keyboard app.
Let me know what you think.

Hello There!
I really like this new look, however I think there are a few things wrong.
First, the notifications bar is a really dark black in 2.3 (I have looked at the pictures and tried the GingerNinja ROM) while this is more grey.
Second, the headset icon (I know that you cannot do anything about it since you only have the SDK and not the source code)
I think that's about it..
As I said, I really love this, and I greatly appreciate the effort you have made to port this! I'd love to see some more of it.
Have a nice day/night Gas!

I've taken the notification bar from the SDK and various screenshots (see arstechnica for example). I can resize and grey out the headset icon which I will look at doing tomorrow.
Re: incorporating this with other lockscreens, I will try and add them all to this through morphs, but it might take a while.

As I said in an earlier post i LOVE this theme =) But i got a queston. Mine doesn't looke exactly like the screenshot I'm posting n image to show what i mean, on the right side is the screen shot and on the left is what mine look like, dunno if its maybe because I'm using CM power widget in notif... bar?
Also it looks like the alarm icon got and extra pixel on the top right side or something
//_b
Looking great. For some reason the keyboard keeps force closing but it's not a problem as I was going to switch to the HTC one anyway but might be something you want to look into. On a HTC Desire with DeFrost 6.1 if it helps. Anyway, keep up with the good work, can't wait to see what it looks like once it matures (or until CM and Defrost release a 2.3 ROM )
EDIT: It appears a second Android Keyboard has been installed as 2 of them appear on my apps list, one is 168KB and the other is 304KB, the 304KB one has a version number of 2.3 so I assume that it's yours. Might see if I can find a way to uninstall the stock one.

I was searching all over the place for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!
Is it possible to include another zip that does the bottom bar only? I want to mix this with the minimalist theme by ultralinx.
Not working on the official Froyo sense 1.0c by adamG btw. HTC Widgets go haywire.
Awesome theme! What if I'd like to include Desire's Super Circle Battery mod?!? Would it break Sense??
This has already been ported over,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736987
nice theme!!!!!
Rambo87: Will upload bottom bar zip in a while. BTW, it won't work on ROMs based on the leaked HK CSL ROMs (Official FroYo HTC Sense by AdamG being one of them).
DomFel: You could apply the circle battery mod, but you'd lose the notification bar you see here.
UltraLinx: I see you've ported it, I even helped you make the flashable zip, but I wanted the patched Rosie instead of using Launcher Pro. I believe your port makes use of Launcher Pro.

I get that. I just tried to keep this port as close as possible to the one from the Evo. My notification bar is different from yours, too. If people want to mix and match elements from your themes and mine, I don't have a problem with that. I'm not trying to compete with you or anything. I just decided to port this theme for myself. Then I decided to post it 'cause I thought other people might like it. My theme might also be a more viable option for those using 2.09 Sense-based ROMs, because a lot of people have updated from AdamG's Official FroYo HTC Sense ROM (myself included). Just saying.

Oh ok good idea.
I'll put a link up in my original thread to this thread.
People then can mix and match and stuff. Because I'm sure there's people out there who will want the patched Rosie launcher.
Great looking theme but how do you change the shortcut icons? the icon apk just installs an app showing all the icons? How do you actually use the icons using folderorganiser? and is it possible to change the mail icon but still have the unread count bubble?
Sorry for all the questions
EDIT: I flashed the theme file, not just the bottom bar or icons.
Install the Simplism Icons app. Yes, it only shows a bunch of icons.
You go to FolderOrganizer, click on the apps tab, select an app, press the arrow down and click icon. Pick Icon Packs and the icons should appear. Select one.
On your home screen, long press anywhere, add a shortcut to a FolderOrganizer item. Pick the app with the modified icon.
FolderOrganizer and BetterCut don't support the unread count bubble. I might look into integrating the icon with the app itself in res/drawable, and I'll upload a zip here for the relevant apps like Mail, GMail and Messages.

Excellent, cheers. Integrating with the SMS/Gmail/Mail apps woud be great. If not, maybe Gmail Unread Count can be used with custom icons.
Great job

Nice theme, but I like the Expressobar better, is it possible to get just the notification bar?
Thanks
I think you can just flash the full one then the expresso mod. That's what I did before he released the modified Rosie. Rmb to nandroid backup just in case

Sense 2.1/3.0 Installable .APK version is here -->[SKIN .APK] PCB Sense (for shiny new Sense 2.1 + Gingerbread ROMs!)
PCB Sense Theme w/Animations + New HTC Clock Widget
** (minor) UPDATE [02.12.2k11] ** - Links have been updated! Downloads should be working again (no more Dropbox 509 errors!)
** UPDATE [12.21.2k10] ** - v1.3 release containing:
Optimized, properly compiled .pngs + .apks, for both v2.10.405.2 and 2.29.405.2.
Made small edits to a few .pngs
Fixed the "Restore Clock Widget ONLY" + "Complete Uninstall" flashable .zips (previous ones had wrong .apk packaged, which was still my theme! sorry!!)
Added transparent background for Signal Strength icons (+ 1px black outline to distinguish better from the theme image behind)
All battery mods have been removed from both versions (cook your own in the UOT Kitchen, help is below near Downloads)
All animations are available in both 2.10.405.2 and 2.29.405.2, as well as a "no animations" package
Screenshots not yet updated for v1.3, but are very similar
NOTE - It is quite tough to maintain so many different versions of this theme, as each framework version has 6 flashable .zips to optimize, compile, package and upload, making for a total of 12. It's also tough to keep track of everything so as not to mix anything up, therefore I think that this will be the last version for the 2.10.405.2 series of frameworks. I wish I could contribute more time to this theme, however I would like to try that time at getting a Notification Widget version out, or even a version for AOSP-based ROMs (minus the Sense component of course!). I think that the theme is quite polished, so a last release for 2.10.405.2 seems valid. You never know though, but this is my estimation...your thoughts are welcomed.
I've been working on this theme for a while, and I wanted to release it since it seems the Desire scene has slowed down a bit...(we perfected everything too soon! ) Anyways, PCB Sense is a theme which replaces images in framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk, and is meant to be a subtle addition to the already smooth theme that HTC has created. For me personally, something had to be added to make it unique from all other Sense owners, and that something I came up with is a slick circuit board pattern. The main PCB pattern was obtained from the Android Theme for Chrome, so respects to the creators, which I then blended cleanly with the stock Sense images.
There are 4 different versions of this theme, all based on which kind of animation (in framework-res.apk) that you want to use. I've taken the time to pre-package all animations into separate copies of my theme so it's easiest for you to get a good setup quickly. Videos of the animations can be found below, beside their Download counterparts, but feel free to flash them yourselves, as there's nothing like trying them out with your own tests It might also be a good idea to clear your Dalvik-Cache immediately after flashing this .zip (while in the same recovery session).
I am not going to personalize a copy for anyone, however I will take your feedback of any suggestions. Note that you can just rip the images out of my theme to customize your own, but PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE (or offer for download) ANY THEME THAT CONTAINS THESE IMAGES I'VE CREATED. If you really need to for any reason, please send me a PM first. I also plan to port this theme to the New Sense once I get some more time.
Note that the ascii android character/text is based off of frysee's original work! Thanks to him for allowing me to use it!
Anyways, I'm blabbering on, and images of themes certainly do a better job of explaining themselves (I left the images high-res/native so that you can see the fine detail):

Tested On: LeeDrOiD v2.2f + v2.3 / Compatible With: any Sense ROM with HTC Build number 2.10.405.2 or 2.29.405.2 (may work with other Sense versions, but untested!)
Downloads:
(all .zips are flashable via your favourite Recovery, but must be installed AFTER FIRST BOOT if you've just flashed a new ROM. Also remember to wipe your Dalvik-Cache just after flashing the PCB Sense Theme .zip)

Thanks in advance everyone, and I truly hope you like my theme...I'm trying to save up some cash to surprise my lady with her own Android phone for Christmas since she is in dire need, and also for putting up with my constant phone tinkering!

Customizing/Adding Battery Mod:
[1] Go to the UOT Kitchen, customize your theme throughout each step
[2] Ensure you choose to add the animation you want (UOT kitchen version has animations removed by default)
[3] Choose PCB Sense base 2.xx.405.2 Theme from the drop-down menu on the framework-res.apk step (near the end)
[4] Save this generated .zip file along with the PCB Sense Theme version of your choosing to your SDCARD.
[5] Flash the PCB Sense Theme version via Recovery first
[6] Secondly, flash the generated UOT .zip (overwrites 'framework-res.apk' only)
[7] wipe your Dalvik-Cache, and reboot to normal Android.
Restoring the Stock HTC Clock Widget:
If you'd prefer to use the original flip clock widget from HTC, then you can simply flash the appropriate build # .zip to restore ONLY the 'HtcClockWidget.apk' file to /system/app.
Note that you'll need to use the correct version as always:
2.10.405.2 Restore default HTC Clock Widget flashable .zip
2.29.405.2 Restore default HTC Clock Widget flashable .zip
Uninstalling / Reverting back to Stock:
Download either flashable .zip file[/url] to revert the modified files back to stock, effectively uninstalling ALL of the changes that this theme/mod makes.
2.10.405.2 Uninstall flashable .zip
2.29.405.2 Uninstall flashable .zip

Had me wanting too use Sense again.
very nice looking i would deffo try it when you make it for senseHD
that's fantastic m8. im going to flash it ASAP
i know u did your best, but i wished to see more custom colors or new icons. thx by the way
This is fantastic, I've been a huge fan of both the Android theme for Chrome as well as the gMail theme, this is just like that, and very good!
I might try it later, but I use LauncherPro so I might not see it as often as I like
Very nice theme, thanks for the work (and the rest of the stuff you've put into the Desire community).
The only problem for me is the battery indicator, I prefer the grey circle mod. Tried flashing my usual UOT zip and sure enough it gives the indicator but kills the flip animations and so forth. I'm going to poke around in the framework and see if I can work out how to switch things myself.
Anyone offering advice or links on the subject has my thanks, I'm currently on a steep learning curve and exploring the framework folder trying to work out exactly what is what. Google appears to be failing me, not that it's not giving answers, just the sheer volume is a little baffling.
Thanks mate, I will test the fly-in version!
Click on ads on your site!
well done scar45. Truly great work.... just about to install the flip version...... Only thing i will miss is my buttonized bar in the drop down notification bar....... But this theme looks extra cool!!
Really nice... But is it possible to update this theme with the [PORT][MOD] Notification Menu Power Control Widgets for Sense based ROMs? Then i think it would be perfect!!!

i second this!
i'm seriously thinking of using this theme anyway, but losing the notification pull down widgets would hurt.
great looking theme!
i use launcherPro as well, and it looks like the only actual sense widget that you would miss the customisations on would be the weather widget? something i can live without

General Info
I do not have a Desire (GSM or CDMA) to test this on, so I would appreciate it if someone could a.) alert me, preferably on twitter, when a new build is made, and b.) let me know if the theme I post here works.
This theme is extensive with over 2000 edited .png files and more than 35 .xml files.
There are no icons included with this theme. If you would like icons, then you can use ADW.Launcher or ADW EX download Minimalist - ADW Theme.
If you would like to donate to me for my work in this theme, then you can download the Donate version of the above mentioned theme. Search for "Minimalist Donate - ADW Theme" to find it.

You do not have to ask me if you can port this or use any part of it, but I would appreciate if you would credit me for what you are using. I do ask that if you are not going to take the time to properly credit me for my work in this theme if you use/port it, then I ask that you do not put up a donation link.
I will not be checking this page frequently, but I will try to answer any questions posted here whenever I update the links. If you want a quicker answer, then I suggest saying something to me on Twitter (@david1171_).
This theme is for the official CM7 Nightly ROMs.
Theme Info
The widgets are transparent with white text. I recommend using a dark wallpaper.
The font included in the theme is the Ubuntu font.
If you are using Amon_RA's recovery and the theme is not applying after flashing, then you need to use clockwork recovery.

Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now
Animations by rover.prince - http://bit.ly/iejwtm
I take no credit whatsoever for these animations.
I have taken them from rover.prince's theme at the request of some users.
Here is the thread where I got the animations.
Apply this with MetaMorph.
great work, looks truly interested.
I will test it!

By the way the best theme I ever had. It looks so cool minimalistic and is very helpful too. I'm also very surprised that you skinned so much apps.
thanks dude

You're welcome. I am glad you like the theme.
This looks great!
I am definitely going to try it when my exams are over
I really like the look of the themed apps.
OMG! This is simply beautiful!
Very beautiful ! Will probably give it a try soon.
Updated to cm_bravo_full-18.zip and cm_bravoc_full-17.zip. Fixed the "&" problem with the keyboard, also fixed the letters not showing on the popup when you hold a letter.
Thank you for all the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Got fcs on market all the time when I flashed the version for build 17...
/CK
I havn't any kind of big problem since I have tested the the first version. (GSM)
Go on David, please. Without your theme this awesome rom doesn't looks so beautiful and unique.
please make an update for the CyanogenMod 7 nightly 20. When I'm using your minimalistic theme 18 I get endless bootloops at the bootanimation.
THX
Edit: minimalistic version 17 is running perfectly on C-Mod Version 20 ;-)
(only the batterie doesn't change, equally the lockscreen)
"Awesome Theme"
Thanks alot for this GREAT theme Keep up the good work!!
i guess #20 has different framework. i has endless bootloop too. Your theme is awesome!but i think just prepare for next day's build instead of #20,cuz only 12 hours or so until the next build.

i will give you some credits for your effort.

Edit: Batterie and lockscreen does't change - still the original but this can't make me sad! i love this theme.
when flashing this theme on nightly 22 it works very good, only the in-call-screen doesn't change. On the lockscreen is a white bar on top.

boah congratulation, your place of residence is unbelievable for me. I live in south germany, directly beside the headquarter of Mercedes Benz. the weather sucks so much.
The white bar occured first time at your version 20+ (when i remember right).
after reflashing c-mod nightly 23 and your theme version 23 the white bar is gone
The bug with the clock is still there from your first version.

Hi Paul,
For the last week, I have been trying to modify Settings.apk (essentially I'm trying to do the same as your theme but for CM9 for Galaxy S2 to make it the same colors as Go Launcher).
Editing the res files in the apk itself works without problems, but as soon as I edit the the Android manifest to chose Holo.Light the application is not recognized anymore. I've tried to sign the apk using xdaAutoTool, APKManager, etc ... but can't get it to work.
I've been trying to read on this but unfortunately all tutorials I could find deal with simple res editing. Can you please provide a step by step?
Thanks

So basically when you swich to Holo Light you have to edit the manifest.xml and also /values/styles.xml don't forget it. Change values that you want to theme to Holo.Light and after that edit your png's. That's only if you want to theme the settings, for a full theme there is alot of work inside framework-res.apk
@All I saw the theme engine is back on CM9 so be sure a theme for that will come once I get used to it. As for this version next update should have semi-transparent statusbar(to mach the lockscreen) and hopefully that black text on power menu
Hi all,
I noticed that, if I set the phone to use stock wallpaper and live wallpaper (stock launcher), the notification bar will become transparent. When I try to use different picture (e.g. HTC One Wallpaper [1080 x 1920]), the bar become black. Why is that?

I tested with Nova Launcher. No matter if I set stock or custom wallpaper, both will have the black notification bar.
Was literally just about to post to ask this as I've just spent 30 minutes trying to get the notification bar to be transparent with no success and thought it was something I was doing wrong.
wtf, how do we get other wallpapers and still have transparent. some1 must know this
what you place the walls in the same location as the other stock ones, and make sure its same resolution etc etc... still not transparent. ??

I'd like to get transparent notification bar too. I think it makes the phone look MUCH better especially on the lock screen. It seems only wallpapers from the wallpaper app turn the bar transparent.

Just thinking out aloud here, but can you add wallpapers to the app and then select them as if they were default ones?
I know you can open the .apk file with WinRar, and I believe you can drag and drop files into the app. this way.
Open: 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' from the system > app folder (I guess you'd need to be rooted) and add files in the following folder with the other wallpapers.
res > drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi
This is as far as my theory goes. I don't know if the app would recognise new .jpg files added in the sequence of others 'fhd_09.jpg' (1920 x 1920 pixels) & 'fhd_09_small.jpg' (320 x 284 pixels), or if you might need to overwrite the default ones (after backing them up first - or just back up the complete .apk before editing).
Once you've added the wallpapers, you'd need to overwrite (and set permissions?) the existing wallpaper app in the system > app folder.
...or the whole idea just might not work for some other reason I'm not aware of- anyone want to try it out? Worth a try.
I haven't got my phone yet, and I'm still not sure on rooting just yet if I had it...
Please let me know if you try this and it works or not, but just don't flame me if its a stupid idea! Oh, and if it breaks your phone then it's not my fault too!

Damn. What a coincidence, came to post a new thread regarding this and found this 1. Looking forward to the solution.

This theory makes sense:
The notification bar now blends into your wallpaper, but only if you're using one of Samsung's wallpapers or the two stock Android live wallpapers. The reason for this, I think, is because your notification bar could potentially become utterly illegible if you used a particular busy (or gray / white) background, and so when using a custom image, the notification bar becomes dark gray.

The only way to make the status bar transparent with non stock wallpaper would be if someone posts a modded Touchwiz.apk.

Hi. Very interested in a solution for this :good:
Decompile SystemUI.apk,Go to values/drawable.xml and change "status_bar_background" value to #00e1e1e1 like in the attachment.Then recompile,sign it and push it.Hopefully should work.
Sorry but there is no file named values/drawable.xml in systemui.apk
Does the phone be rooted to do this?

You have to first deodex SystemUI.apk,decompile it with apktool,Go to res/values and there will be the file I meant .Do the changes,recompile it and push it back.Delete the odex from your phone if you have it.
OFC you need root to do the above
Im coming from the HTC Evo4G LTE that I rooted and put many ROMs/Mods on. I am NOT knowledgable but just followed all the DEVs instructions. The custom ROM I used did not have a transparent notification bar either, so I just took one of the custom ROMs bar mods (zip flashable file), opened it to the systemui.apk file, changed some files in it, and flashed it.
There were about 6 PNG files in the systemui/res/drawable.xhdpi folder that said "status_bar_background.png" (and other similar names). I made new ones in a photo editing program that were transparent and the same size. I renamed them the same names and overwrote them in the systemui apk file. It seemed like a hard thing at first, but it really isnt. I talked to my ROMs DEV and he said that there was only like 2 files I really needed to change, instead of the 6, but I just left it alone as it worked. Im not saying it was the right way though.
I would love it if all you had to do was change a few numbers or letters in an xml file.
I get my S4 today, and definately want a transparent top bar. I think most custom ROMs will implement it, but if not, they usually make top bar modification flash files to change things likes clocks, icons, etc. It should be easy to do when they start coming out.
Also, can someone clear up. Is the top bar where the clock,time,etc is called the navigation bar or status bar ? Ive seen and heard it used both ways. Thanks
Just my .02 worth. Hope it helps.
You'll need to be rooted to try this, and I'm sure you will need to be running a deodexed ROM based around original ROM.
I have edited the SecWallpaperChooser.apk three ways to try to get the Wallpapers working the way I tried to explain in my theory a few posts back. Here is what I've done;
I've created a new Wallpaper and added it to the SecWallpaperChooser.apk, I want all of the attached .apks to work, but if not, I'm hoping that at least one will!
The original .apk file contains 7 different wallpapers, labelled 'fhd_01.jpg' (main WP) and 'fhd_01_small.jpg' (I guess this is a thumb), and the are numerically ordered up to '08. there is no '07' in the .apk I'm using (from the original deodexed I9500 system dump - should be the same for I9505, right?), so the file names go up to '08'.
Please extract the .zip file at the following link, it will contain three folders, each folder is labelled as follows:
7Included - I've added my new WP to the file and added it as filename '07', all original WPs are included too.
8Overwrite - I've added my new WP by overwriting the original file number '08' (nobody used the photo of twigs, do they? ), all other original WPs still included.
9Added - I've added my new WP as filename '09', all original WPs are still included.
What I think you'd need to do with these files is:
Navigate to the root of your device: system > app - and look for the file called 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' - back this up somewhere.
With root access active on your favourite file explorer app, copy the first file you want to try out from one of my folders, don't rename it though, and paste it over the original 'SecWallpaperChooser.apk' in the system > app folder. Set the permissions to 'rw-r--r--'.
Exit your explorer app, then reboot your device.
It would be good to wipe cache/dalvik if you can, but I don't know if we have custom recovery yet to be able to do this - is there another way to do this - does it need to be done...? I'm not sure. If you're not sure too, then please don't try this.
Hopefully, the next time you try to set a wallpaper, you will see my new wallpaper as an option too.
This is the test WP I made:
If it works, all you need to do then is make your own WP and add it to the app. A bit long winded, but if you don't change your wallpapers very often then it doesn't matter. Depending on which of my .apks work, you might be able to add a few new wallpapers to the .apk. I'd keep to the original WP dimensions too, as per original image files.
Here's the link to my modified .apks - fingers crossed... http://db.tt/bsbEFMJz
If none of these work, then just reinstall your original backed up .apk.
I haven't tried this so please test it at your own risk, I won't be able to help you if you get into issues, and if you do, please don't blame me - I'm only trying to help. Maybe you shouldn't try this if you don't know what you are doing.
If you do try this, then please let us know how you got on. Thank you.
**********************************
EDIT: None of the above worked, but I decompiled the wallpaper app and swapped out some of the stock wallpapers with my own (and renamed them correctly), then recompiled it again, and now I have my own wallpapers with transparent status bar and no modified System UI, and I don't have transparent top bar in apps (which can look a bit odd sometimes) like you can get in the popular transparency mod to the System UI.
live wallpaper
So no way how to set live full screen wallpaper without root?
I have a strangev similar situation. I can get my lock screen wallpaper to be transparent only if I change it back and forth Bl between a stock one like 15 times......WTF
thought it was something I was doing wrong.
