UPDATE: All info in this thread summarized here: [GUIDE] Pattern lock tweaks - Wallpaper Brightness, Pattern Lock Dots, etc.
Rooted phone running Cognition 1.5.1. I am using a pattern lock so I have the standard Samsung lockscreen.
How can I change the clock font on the pattern lock screen? It looks very out of place compared to the other fonts.
Can I make the pattern lock dots smaller or more transparent? I don't like how it covers up almost all of my wallpaper. I know CyanogenMod has an option to make the pattern lock dots completely invisible. I don't really want that either, I just want them to be less obstructive.
Thanks in advance!
You can't change them afaik! You can always use third party lockscreen app like Widget Locker to get your desired lock screen.
I figured out how to change the clock font. Simply replace the Clockopia.ttf in /system/fonts. You can also use the Font Changer app, available on XDA or Market: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874658
However I noticed that my replacement clock font did not seem to line up properly. I think this is a common problem with replacing Clockopia.ttf. So you might need to adjust your font with something like FontForge first. Check out the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990853
UPDATE: This thread on Rootzwiki gives a good description of the Clockopia alignment problem and how to fix it. Basically, use a font editor to replace the glyphs in the Clockopia.ttf with the glyphs from your favorite font.
Still investigating the pattern lock dots.
Figured out the pattern lock dots! The files are in the framework-res.apk, under res\drawable-hdpi. There are two files you need to edit:
btn_code_lock_default.png -- This is the white dot in the middle
indicator_code_lock_point_area_default.png -- This is the dark circular background of the dot
I reduced the size of the white dot by 50% and used a clear transparent background so it doesn't block the wallpaper. Files are attached below in case anyone wants to use these.
One more discovery today. Normally the pattern lock wallpaper is not as bright as the original -- there's a dim or dark filter over it. To change this, decompile framework-res.apk (need to use apktool or apk_manager), and edit res\layout\keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml.
On line 4, change android:background="#70000000" to android:background="@color/transparent"
Compile framework-res.apk and put it back into system\framework. Reboot and you should see that the pattern lock wallpaper is much brighter!
Also I've made another set of pattern lock dots. For this one, I reduced both the white middle dot and the outer ring by 50%. Then I increased the transparency of both and made the outer ring a lighter gray. So now the dots are larger, but even less intrusive. I've attached the files below, plus a screenshot.
Thanks a lot for the background transparency trick ! That was exactly what I was loogking for.
Also, may I add something just for information if ppl need it :
There are other files if you want a complete edit :
the ones you told about :
btn_code_lock_default.png (the small dot in the center)
indicator_code_lock_point_area_default.png (the black circle around)
The pngs that shows up when the pattern is the wrong one :
indicator_code_lock_point_area_red.png (the circle around)
indicator_code_lock_drag_direction_red_up.png (the arrow showing the direction)
And if you use "visible pattern" in the options, these are the green ones :
indicator_code_lock_point_area_green.png
indicator_code_lock_drag_direction_green_up.png
btn_code_lock_touched.png (the small dot in the center, touched version)
One more thing, if you're only editing pngs, you don't need apk tool, a simple unzip with 7zip is possible.
Thanks for the modification ideas.
I am using a Htc Desire on dGB aosp rom but just to add to this thread. In the keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml, I changed:
android:background="#70000000" to android:background="@drawable/patternlock_background"
Added an image called patternlock_background.png to the drawable-hdpi folder.
Made some of the images mentioned in the previous posts transparent.
And came up with this:
Obviously, I still need to edit other aspects of that screen to tidy it up.
Great work LfcFan1977! I would be really interested in seeing more wallpapers that incorporate the pattern lock into their design. There could be some pretty cool ideas by mixing a pattern lock wallpaper with custom pattern dots and lines.
Yea, I have been wanting this kind of mod ever since I got my Android.
Here's a few ideas:
Galaxy with stars/rockets/shuttles/astronauts/planets/moons.
Dot to dot of a gingerbread man.
Flowers with the honeycomb bee.
Treasure maps and pirates.
Football.
Homer Simpson and donuts.
Pacman.
Anyway, I had a bit more of a play with the xml/images and got this.
Hi,
a few month ago I investigated the size of the background image to fit the pattern dots, and after a few experiments I saw that android was doing a bit of resizing, even if the image was exactly the screen size.
What worked for me, is to make an image smaller than 800 in height (763px to be precise) and 480 in width (regular width of 1 screen). But when done editing, I stretch its height back to 800. Then, when applying within gallery ("use as..."), it stretch it back to undeformed.
I made a template in photoshop, for those who are interested, also with my actual pattern background. Still can't post urls here, so...it's hosted at mediafire.com :
Code:
/?fo04gtvp82y1xw1 (the template)
/?82txu5qxdea6usb (the background)
Wow, this thread is a great resource for customizing the lockscreen, and it's rather painless (not much APK tool messing to do, if simple unzip, rezip works, wonderfull )
This is going into my bookmarks
I wish I would have found this thread sooner. I was looking for which files to edit for the buttons but found them elsewhere. I still have one question, though. Does anyone know how to change the path color? I can't find which file it is located in. TIA.
I can only assume the colour is applied by something in the framework.jar but as my understanding of smali coding is practically none, I can not figure it out.
I was thinking that maybe re-posting all the previous information and the above question in the android themes thread may be better. I do not think any of it is device or rom specific and we may need a wider audience in order to resovle questions like the last one.
I can't find the path color in the xml or png files so it must be something in smali code. Moving to the Android themes forum is a good idea. I am going to summarize everything and repost it in that forum.
Check out the new thread here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330063

This line about android:background is in keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait? I think it's keyguard_screen_password_portrait

Hey all,
I find it incredibly stupid that car home keeps the standard wallpaper and just dims it. I'm using the album art wallpaper and it makes car home almost unusable.
Would it be possible to force the system to change the wallpaper to a black background when car home is in use and then change it back when you close it?
Thanks!
If your screen is too dark:
Look on bottom right corner, under EXIT CAR MODE. See the little > right arrow?
Hit that and change your screen brightness setting.
Automatic > Night > Day
As for changing the wallpaper. I've never heard about that possibility.
Maybe someone with theming or morphing skillz will come across this thread??!

That should be possible with Tasker.
Unfortunately I use settings profiles and would hate to pay for a software to handle this one thing. I wish CM could incorporate this change into the nightlies!
Would be easy to do with Tasker which is a great app anyway. I recommend getting it and I'm sure you'll find some other useful things you can do with it too (it should easily replace settings profile for you too)
This should be a simple change, but apktool is acting up and won't recompile the apk. Hopefully I will have one available soon.
Cool thanks! You rock.
This is turning out to be significantly harder than it should be. aapt seems to be ignoring the entire res/values folder, so even an empty decompile/recompile fails (but works fine for every other apk I throw at it), and MetaMorph is just flat out having no effect. I will keep working on it, but for now it seems hopeless by divine force.

Even if you can't get it, I appreciate the effort!
So you couldn't get it going?
I really haven't looked into it but isn't it possible to theme the app to use a black interface instead of the transparent one it uses now? I mean replace the transparent .png's with black ones.
The background does not use images, it specifies a theme resourse and adds a transparent black color. I have been trying to change that resourse, without apktool playing nice there is no real way to do this. I tried changing the theme by editing the smali code, but that is overridden by the view's style attribute, and the theme can't be set after the view is inflated.
From what I have found, the only two options with out the ability to compile resource files is either to implement the original idea of blacking the wallpaper on run, or editing the compiled binary xml blob manually.
I could always make a simple service app to change the wallpaper on car mode toggle, that would be easiest at this point.
Update: Did some research, its impossible to set a live wallpaper through code using the public API due to security concerns, so that removes all non-resource ideas. This has to be done through the style resources of CarHome itself.
Have a Dell Streak 5?, Have an insaitable taste for sweet honeycomb and will stop at nothing until you get some?
Well, we'll just have to wait, but in the meantime, this may help with your cravings.
Here it is. Hope everyone likes it. Built and Tested on StreakDroid 1.9.1
I would encourage you to try it on any DeOdexed ROM 351 and later; but remember:
Nandroid Backup First! Serious::At least have a flashable .zip of current framework on sdcard(ie UOT.zip) just in case!
Tested on low and high res. battery in status bar is HC and has 100 images and animations<fun>, but no numbers. I trust everyone will use UOT for their own personal battery preferences. Also incuded honeycomb font for Clocktopia/lockscreen.
As of v0.6.0, I have included a custom status bar clock that uses DroidSerif-Regular.ttf, use a 3rd party app to change to attached Clocktopia.ttf, for honeycomb effect! Anywhere serif is used, you may get clocktopia which isnt really readable on froyo, but I have checked and havent seen it used anywhere actually. I originally had monospace, but that screws up some files in root explorer text editors. If you dont want this mod, simply open the .zip as an archive and delete services.jar from framework folder, enjoy!
link to font changer free in market... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite&feature=search_result
install font changer, creates a default directory on sdcard named .fontchanger/,copy clocktopia.ttf from next post to this directory in sdcard. when you open font changer it should scan and show you have clocktopia. I recommend unchecking quick restart in font changer settings. click on advanced, click on DroidSerif-Regular.ttf and choose to replace it with clocktopia.ttf. choose apply and reboot later, then reboot manually. (works better I think) that's it about it, when you change a font; it says it makes a back up and that you can long press on the changed font and choose to restore original. If it does not restore original font, choose to uninstall app from within font changer settings, and it will restore all original fonts.
Please let me know what you think, and I would like to see a screenie of portrait lockscreen.
Known issues: on low res/mdpi I have noticed in stock email I get large buttons for options at bottom of screen. Many images for mdpi I used hdpi where I could. These are the only 3 buttons I have seen so far, and they are actually seem much better big anyways. This Im sure can be fixed If theres enough interest. I put a lot of work and time into this.
Thats about it enjoy!
screenshots are at stock 160dpi, I use 210.
see post#97 and #99 for blue status bar clock MOD. (#97 is full theme, the other is clock Mod only.)

Reserved for future, edits,updates; and more screenshots
v0.6.3 : minor changes: changed status bar clock to Slate blue/gray blends much nicer. Added honeybee to pull down, visible @ 160 &240 dpi. Changed "Phone options" to "tablet options" changed "your phone will shut down" to "your Streak will shut down". Oh and changed a few black status bar icons to show better, like bluetooth. I think thats it for now, been looking into other things but running into dead end with my limited .java / .smali code knowledge. screenies here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16568716&postcount=125
v0.6.2: themed volume popup HUD, thought it was .xml, just a .9.png. that was easy. looks nice too
v0.6.1: volume and seek bars slimmed down and changed to green like real HC. From now on, unless I edit services.jar, the .zip in 1st post will have BLUEclock in status bar, the White Stock .zip is in post #99, if you want to revert, just flash that. More updates planned, stay tuned.
v0.6.0 Removed date from pull down and changed status bar clock font..please see first post for more info and instructions. See last two screenshots in this post for update. This is flashing services.jar, so give it 5 minutes to boot.
v0.5.9: Without carrier version only now. changed pulldown to all black so it crops right at all lcd densities. changed all mdpi lockscreen icons to standard mdpi 64px.
v0.5.8, dark blue sliders! had to edit .xml, I thought for sure they were a .9.png. Getting the hang of this. Next I think I will remove am/pm from status bar clock, might change the color too..
v0.5.7 All Black Status bar, nice new usb icon to go with that, and pull down all black with bee.
v0.5.6NoCarrier updated: removed carrier text from drop down menu. File size increased so had to host it.
v0.5.5: Both versions: mostly resized mdpi stuff including vibrate lock screen tab icon, change some menu press highlights, and changed search bar size in mdpi. NO Carrier on Lockscreen!!, still on pull down until I get it to build...Still cant find the damn large email buttons on stock email on hdpi, see know issues: not really a huge issue. Hope you all enjoy it!!
v0.5.3NoCarrier:**update: fixed no charging battery** added, no carrier in status bar. Will look into removing it elsewhere. <finally understand how to edit xml and update; not as easy as it would seem there are steps missing that I normally wouldn't think of.>
v0.5.3 changed data icons (eg. 3G, H Edge to match light blue honeycomb). [IF you ever get a system force close on startup, just pull battery and should boot normally. Maybe a good idea to clear cache after this]
v.0.5.1 changed a few icon, home icon from ginger to honeycomb, changed button to proper proportion, and changed volum bars colors to.a darker blue and removed ugly disabled button backgrounds
v0.4 White on Black Menus! Enormous thanks to TheManii for help with this. Really breaks ground to hopefully more themes/mods/etc. Thank You!
v3 uploaded.. trying glowing sound jog tabs, best I could do at the moment, should be better, but jog tab vibrate looks better with glow.
If .zip is unavailable, wait a few minutes or check back later should be updated, Thanks!
nice!!!!!thanks
sure, no prob. (well, a little hassle, but a learning experience.) looks so much better than stock. gotta have it.
Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!
Nice work Chris!
While I probably won't be installing this theme (got things the way I like em now) it looks outstanding. The Google search is a work of art. I would love to install just that on my home screen.
Keep up the great work
kraz
a little searching you could have found them.
I found these a while back,
on xda I think..
only will work on deodexed ROM I believe. backup and delete originals, rename and place new themed ones in /system/app. Set permissions to same as all other /system/apps, and reboot and they will install.
Tip: the google search one can be tricky.before moving it into system make sure its not named same as stock. after moving, rename it. If the icon changes to a stock "g" logo for the application, it wont work, this one is strange.
Geez Chris...What can't you do?!!
GoogleSearchBox looks great and works well on my Simple Streak 1.2 odexed device. No problems installing it either.
Seriously...THANK YOU!!!

I had searched for them many months ago and came up empty. forgot about it until I saw your screenies.
Holy crap! You themed EVERYTHING! Very nice work, beautiful job. I love the extra splash of color you gave even the home menu (Add, Wallpaper, Search, Settings, etc).
Here is that portrait screen cap. Looks very nice.
did the honeycomb font not stick? it should have. you also use font changer to edit Clocktopia. and the sound slider I might have to downsize a bit you can see the transparent square jog tab
You know I flashed that straight over top of my BlueStreak5 theme and I guess it didn't give me the HC font on the clock. Everything else looked great, pop up window color, scroll bar color. I did notice the volume slider on the lock screen has a bit of square halo that was only really noticeable on the super dark HC wallpaper.
Awww... when I flashed back to BlueStreak5, it didn't keep your pop window theme, power menu, home menu, etc. I was hoping it would
new update coming shortly, updates jog tabs glow, less boxxy as well
How about the battery with a percentage.

I am working on some mods for a Sense 2.1 ROM for the HTC Thunderbolt (based on latest OTA 2.11.605.3)
Two things I am stuck on, and I have searched high and low to try and resolve this but can't come up with what I need.
#1 - I want to change the icon size (workspace screens and app drawer) from 72x72 to a larger size (maybe 90x90). I have already added larger icons to apps and adjusted every size I can find in Rosie that looks like it would effect icon size. I even adjusted a lot of the padding amounts, but no luck. I did however notice the mail and messages icon would go to the larger size "sometimes" on the homescreen and in the app drawer, but not all the time. Very strange.
Anyone done this and know what i need to do to get my icon size like I want?
#2 - I would like to customize the background color or image on the settings menu (and sub menus if possible). I cannot find an xml file that seems to relate to the main settings screen where I can trace the color or set an image as the background like you can do with the app drawer.
Anyone know how/where this is done?
Thanks for the help, I look forward to getting some direction on this so I can hopefully move forward with this "project".

1.
While I've never tried to change icon size (except to make them smaller....), I was able to do it by increasing number of icons (aka 4x5 layout). I know in res/values/, values-hdpi, and values-port-hdpi there are dimens.xml and integers.xml. Since I've never done it before, I can't help you specifically...but that's where I would start. It won't matter the size of the actual png inside the apk, Rosie will size the app based on its resources.
2.
The settings menu, I'm almost certain, calls for resources in framework-res....please don't quote me. I've never tried to theme that myself but I am almost certain. Look for references in Settings.apk to @android, et cetera. Narrow down your search like that. I recommend this line of code:
grep -lr "@android" Settings/*
^assuming you decoded Settings.apk into directory "Settings"
^also assuming you're on Unix system....
Sorry I couldn't be more help man! Good luck!
Hi,
I have played with Themer and widgets last few hours, and it looks very nice. I have looked through the introduction videos, and they were informative, but there is always some information missing, and here is what I could not find:
How to lock widgets without right click?
When we unlock the widgets for editing, we need to lock them back. Every tutorial that I looked does this using right click on screen, but what if there is no place on screen available to right click (widget occupies to whole screen)?. I guess we could add one screen temporarily, lock the widgets, and remove the "dummy" screen, but I guess there should be some quicker method?
How to dock particular widget to appear on all screens?
I would like one widget to appear on all screens, something like a Dock on the stock Android. How to mark widget as docked (locked) on all screens?
How to preview a custom (exported) theme?
In the video tutorials it is said to put an image with the same name to thumbs folder (I noticed that it must be png also, not jpeg). However, this only shows the screenshot in the thumbnail preview of exported themes. What about when we select a particular theme, which opens a screen with Delete Apply choices? This preview is still blank screen, which means that it does not use the image from the thumbs. The same behavior is seen in the video tutorials.
How to know if there is an empty widget on screen?
For example, lets say that I have dropped a widget on the screen accidentally, and I did not place any element in it. This widget would be transparent by default. How can I see those widgets, so I can remove them?
Thanks.

Hi Goran,
So sorry for taking an incredibly long time to reply, I'm on a semi-vacation in Thailand at the moment and getting access to internet isn't easy. I'll try help as best I can.
1. Thanks for pointing this one out! The option to do this via the app drawer was removed in the last update, so I'll speak to the team about adding it in again. The only other way would be to enable the Themer notification bar, which has a Themer icon that brings up new themes. From here you can tap the back button to go into the Advanced Settings and then into Desktop.
2. This feature has been requested before, however it will take us a while to add it into Themer, as the resources required are quite vast to say the least. Hopefully in the new year we will have more time to focus on features like this. Right now the team is more focused on fixing bugs and improving the performance.
3. Another requested feature. We still want to improve the front end as much as possible before moving onto the back end. Trust me though we haven't forgotten about the designer side of Themer.
4. I've never heard of this feature before, but it sounds like a good one to have. I think because many users focus on adding widgets that instantly show information, it hasn't been as a priority. I'll speak to the team and see what they think.
I hope this has answered your questions. If you have any more just ask, I have a stable connection now and will be able to reply within the day.

This is my first post here and I'll admit I'm not an XDA developer. I'm hoping someone could help fix my "bug" (#1 below). All three things below reference the lock screen and making the date & time more readable on it. The same issues might apply to Samsung Galaxy phones in general. I sent the below to Samsung, but I'm not holding my breath for them to reply.
My specs:
Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850W. Running Android 5.0.2
1. If you change the clock size to Large on the Lock Scren. The clock size will not stay large if you have any notifications, it will reset to a normal sized font.
2. The color of the clock can't be changed, there needs to be a large black outline around the existing white text (currently it's a small black shadow). Since lollipop shows album art on the lock screen, you may get a pure white background and the clock nearly disappears.
3. The size of the date can't be enlarged. #2 also applies to the date.
I am willing to root with a new lock screen if that's necessary to fix but I'm not sure where to find info on available lock screens, I don't want to use the wrong one and break the phone. btw, I wasn't able to find a lock screen app as none that I tested had the features and speed of the default lock screen.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know about any lockscreen app that has all those things you need, but you can mod your stock lockscreen to get it all, but it contains some risk and of course some programming experience ( mostly smali and Java)

Thanks sdeepb. I'm pretty sure this is the only way to go, unless there's a pre-built lock screen you can easily swap out for rooted phones.
