[GUIDE] How to get the android KK transparent effect on CM11 - Galaxy Ace S5830i General

Hello guys, today I will explain you how to get transparent effects of android KitKat on CM11 :
1) flash cm11
2) with an root file manager go to build.prop
3) change these lines
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
"ro.config.low_ram=true" to
"ro.config.low_ram=false"
4) save , reboot and enjoy

After
And more...

If you edit build.prop then delta updates will crash .

You don't need to mess with the build.prop for transparency. Just enable Developer Options by tapping on Build Number 7-8 times then go to Settings > Performance > Tick Force High End Graphics. That is all you need to do. Just reboot to see the effect.

Thank you

[MOD] Enable Multi-User On Kitkat ROM's

I am making this thread so people can stop asking me about how to enable multi-user on Kitkat. Here it is finally. you can do that by adding a two small lines to build.prop
Screen:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Add the following code to build.prop
Code:
fw.max_users=3
lockscreen.rot_override=true *
*Multiple user support was designed for tablets only in 4.4 KitKat, and therefore the user picker only appears in landscape mode. On CM11 for phones you will need to enable lockscreen rotation by adding a line lockscreen.rot_override=true to your build.prop file in the same manner as you did to enable multiple users.
Well at least something.
Thanks mate, I was up all night waitng for Varun's CM12.1 yesterday, but i got this, Something is better than nothing. We talked btw internet personality.

Question Problem Display after last Update Android 12

Hello,
after the last update yesterday (Januar Patch Android 12), i have this on my display. it is everywhere to see, also on the homescreen. Please look at the picture. But when i make screenshot,, nothing is to see.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I didn't found a solution, but now I know it is an software error, because when I switch to download mode, all is ok. It is everywhere, but not there.
It looks like a notch for an other phone. But in this form?
Now I found it -> in developer options > show layout render -> switch on -> switch off -> now all is done
