Hey Guys Today M Going To Show You How To Make Your Rom[Any Rom] Transparent
I Tried Many Tutorials But None Of Them Was Succesful....So I Compared Stock Framework-res.apk
With Custom Rom's Framework And I Got Succes

#I WONT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE..SO TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK

WORKED ON----
GALAXY Y DUOS GT-S6102


So Here We Go::::::::::

REQUIREMENTS===
1.DECOMPILING/RECOMPILING KNOWLEDGE+TOOL
2.FRAMEWORK-RES.APK
3.NOTEPAD++


STEP 1
Decompile Your Framework-res.apk[With No Error]

Go To Decompiled Folder In
res/values/styles.xml

Open Styles.xml With Notepad ++ And Do This

Find <style name="Theme">
And Below <style name="Theme"> Line Find Colorbackground & Windowbackground


There May Be Some Line Like This:

Code: 
[COLOR=RED]<item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=BLUE]<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>[/COLOR]

Replace Them With

Code: 
[COLOR=RED]<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=BLUE]<item name="windowBackground">@color/background</item>[/COLOR]

And Add This Line Below Window Background Or Anywhere You Like,But It Should Lie Under <style name="Theme"> & </style>
Code: 
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>

=========================================================
Find <style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">

And Replace

Code: 
[COLOR=RED]<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=BLUE]<item name="windowBackground">@color/black</item>[/COLOR]
With


Code: 
[COLOR=RED]<item name="colorBackground">@color/background</item>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=BLUE]<item name="windowBackground">@color/background</item>[/COLOR]
=========================================================

Find <style name="Theme.Dialog" parent="@style/Theme">

Add The Following Line In It

<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>
=========================================================

Find <style name="Theme.Light" parent="@style/Theme">

Add This line In It

Code: 
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>

Code: 
<style name="Theme.Translucent" parent="@style/Theme">

<style name="Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" parent="@style/Theme.Translucent">

<style name="Theme.NoDisplay" parent="@style/Theme">

For Each Of The Codes Given Above REMEMBER-----ONE BY ONE
========================================================

Find <style name="Theme.Wallpaper" parent="@style/Theme">

ADD THESE LINE IT

Code: 
<item name="windowShowWallpaper">true</item>



STYLES.XML WORK IS FINISHED HERE NOW LETS START WITH COLOR.XML
It will Be Located In Decomiled Folder Of Framework-res.apk
res/values/colors.xml

Open Colors.xml With notepad++
And Add This Line
Code: 
<color name="background">#7f000000</color>
Above
Code: 
</resources>
I Like 50% Transparency So I Gave
Code: 
#7f0000000

TRANSPARENCY CODES
100% #00000000
70% #3F00000000
50% #7F000000
25% #BF000000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse



All Done Save Recompile And sign And Install It Via Flashable Zip To Avoid Restarts
And After Flashing You May Loose Your statusbar So Have A Backup Of Your SystemUI And Flash It After The Installation Of Framework-res.apk


OR ELSE
Put Your SystemUI(& lidroid-res.apk) In flashable zip along with framework-res.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
