lol yeah its been up for a bit. I think i put this up when i was making the ICS theme. I guess from what i understand the stock rom does not support transparancy. kinda sucks the themes could be so much better
There is an update for non cdma phones that I believe supports transparency. There is also a fix in the works for cdma. There is a temporary one available in a forum elsewhere, but it involves settings changes and frequent reboots, but fixes the data as far as I know.
anyway, I posted a tutorial when I was using the m835, but is universal and doesn't involve signing of any package. This way is fast and easy. All you need is adb, and a photo editor.
1. preset your editor to load .png files. From the archive, open the image you want to replace. Edit the image and save.
2. Go back to the archive and you will receive a prompt stating you edited the file and asks to update the archive. Click yes. Move the archive to the root of the sd card. The example I will use is for the framework-res.apk
3. Run adb and type the following:
Adb shell
Su
Mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock4 /system
dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
4. Adb will tell you the file was transferred successfully. After about 10 seconds, your phone will automatically reboot. Your new framework will now be on your phone.
You can do this with any part of an archive, just make sure that the file type you are working with has been preset to load in a specific program. This way you can edit from the archive itself and bypass unpacking, editing, repacking, and signing. Good luck!
