Hey everyone, it's time for some custom lockscreens!
I will not be doing any requests for a device with a different screen resolution
What can be modded?
Time/date
Operator text
Pull to unlock text
Lockring & Shortcuts
Everything you see
What can be done to these?
Moved around anywhere on the screen
Shrunk/Enlarged
Show/Hide
The possibilities are endless.
*The only problems will be that if you want your shortcuts moved around, they might not drag to the lock ring correctly thus making them unusable. Also, the buttons to answer calls may be a little tricky because I cant always test that right away.* Tell me what you want, and I will tell you if they work.
These mods should work on ANY Sense 4.x ROM based on ICS, but, please upload your Idlescreen_Base.apk to ensure that this will not break anything. It saves headaches.
So just post your Idlescreen_Base.apk and tell me what you want done. I will post them all in the second post. Don't worry if I don't get to your request immediately, it will be done. Sometimes college comes first
Attached are a few examples of what I've done/can be done.
This post is where I will link and keep track of every request/mod I do.

Here's a link to one I've already done: Center Lock Mod

hell to the YES!
I'll help out too in what little spare time I have, and answer questions if needed.
Yesterday I figured out how to *add* a scale factor for the all apps png in rosie (so in theory similar logic could apply to lockscreen thigns), thanks to Dunc001 for the question and bebida for the idea
Nice thread buddy!
Hmm interesting....where is this base apk and could you do the text shortcuts at bottom....with the time at the top like normal with my PowerAmp widget in the middle?
Ah never mind I just flashed a 3.6 sense Rom now

Sure I uploaded a stock revert zip based off of the newest RUU in the second post.
Thanks for posting this Gumby63! I saw you guys talking about this a little while ago. Screenshots here show just how versatile and interesting this mod can be.
I attempted to see what it would take to do something more "Sense 1/2ish" with the sliding down of the bar to unlock just for fun. It looks entirely doable because, by essentially enlarging the lockring, it flows off of the screen, giving that bar-type effect.
Plus, if the ring is long enough on the left and right sides, the ring looks way more bar-like. No matter where you drag, the ring is too "ovally" to look like it's being moved from side to side.
The problems I found were expanding the invisible dragging area so that it covers the entire ring, the fact that the bar drags down, not up, and that when scaled up, of course the ring looks bad.
--
I'm excited to see what you come up with. One thing that has me curious is, could the setups be done in several APK files for ease of selection? The stocks, productivity, weather, etc. lockscreens are set up as different APKs.
Way awesome.

Hmm that's actually a really cool idea. So I'm trying to understand the problem you ran into. Do you mean that touching a certain part of the ring doesn't allow you to drag it? I think that's what you mean. I'm sure there's a property somewhere that controls this, I'll look around for it.
I know that you can make it so that you can drag the ring down to unlock, I did that for the mod in post 2.
Would you mind posting the apk?
And to answer your other question, yes I believe that is possible but I'm not sure as I've never tried.
My guess would be that you need to make any edits to the lockring/shortcuts etc in Idlescreen_base first, then make the edits to weather/productivity etc to make them fit according to the edits made in idle base.
Thanks for the input

Thanks. Yeah. I believe that I'm missing a step with the lockscreencontainer.
I've attached it. It's probably best if you turn lockscreen shortcuts off as I just quickly through that together. Also, imagine that you're pulling down the ring rather than pulling it up. I also went ahead and moved the carrier caption and date down there as well. It's static, so it doesn't work quite like it did, but I was just playing around anyways.
Thanks!

Okay so I messed around with it a bit, and here's the outcome.
You can drag down to unlock, and I hid the unlock animation so it actually functions like the Sense 1 lockscreen would have. I moved the call buttons up (but haven't tested them yet) so in theory those should work, but everything else like music/notifcations etc will still overlap.
Pretty neat idea. Looks strange, but neat!
Apk is attached for anyone who wants to play with it.

I have to admit, for something that wasn't designed to do that, it's really very good. You're right. It's strange, but hey, It's making me feel strangely nostalgic at the moment. Thank you!
I hope to see a few more mini-guides on messing with the elements (proportions correct) a little more. Of course, I should probably read the entire M10 editing thread.
Thanks again.
Edit: BTW - It does say 0 views (I suppose it takes a minute or two to update). I did actually download it.

First off this is not my app. I went back to the vibrant for a bit and found this. It works perfect on the MT4G so I figured I'd show it to you guys.
It was made by avdaga and his original thread is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918945
Pretty much it's what the 3D gallery should do. Not just sway the pictures when you move the phone but actually scroll through them.
*If you have the aosp 3D gallery installed already you'll need to uninstall it before installing this one.
Heres the original post:
avdaga said:
Hi there,
For a school project I have modified the Gallery3D application to enable scrolling, zooming etc by using the accelerometer.
I have made a short demonstration which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xYkblRYPcY
The mod is based on CyanogenMod-android_packages_apps_Gallery3D-a63279d.
It would be very cool to use scrolling for the selection of pictures within the album grid, so one could open/close the picture by shaking... However, the sourcecode was not so well documented and we couldn't find some functions that would help us implementing this... I must note, the source contains 50+ classes, we have only looked into a few.
For installation instruction check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
Current Functionality added
VolDown: en/disable motion (disabled by default)
Gallery:
● Scroll by tilting
● Reset to first by shaking
Image view:
● Next/Prev by tilting L/R
● Zoom in/out by tilting U/D
● Reset zoom by shaking
With some help I hope to add the following in the future:
● In grid mode: Select center image
● In grid mode: Open image by shaking
● In grid mode: Prevent scrolling out of the grid range
● In picture mode: return to album by shaking
● In picture mode: initialize zooming at current tilt angle, and zoom from there by holding an overlay button (next to the zoomin/zoomout overlay buttons)
If anyone could help me a hand with the image selection, e.g. by giving me a direction where to find functions for this, I'd be very greatfull!
I'm wondering what you think about it, your questions/remarks are very welcome

lmao i figured they desired some battery mods real quick
but for real the only thing i hate is having both of em cus of that damn screen.... the mt4g wouldnt be so bad if i had gotten rid of the vibrant but seeing them side by side makes the mt4g look like **** (which i hate to say about my baby) but its true besides that i hate the thing I would honestly never buy another samsung phone (hence why NS isnt on my sig list) I stepped away from htc once and it was the worst experience ive ever had lol
oh and on a side note I never saw you post those icons i sent you... i couldnt remember if you asked me to just send you links straight to the flashables though lol sometimes I just lost in piles of msgs
Thanks for the gallery bro! Now get on AIM fker!

I dont remember ever getting the icons, I was just thinking about that yesterday. Maybe I missed the PM or something. I will have to go back and look. I was just playing with my buddies Vibrant. He just put the Froyo update on and was wondering if the lag fix would work. it is so laggy compared to the Glacier. I couldn't believe it. I didnt think his screen seemed much better than mine (good screen) and his seemed kinda color tinted. I dont watch movies or anything like that, I am sure there is a big difference there. I probably couldnt watch a movie on it anyways, that would require me not messing with it for like 2 hours and that aint happening. lol
Hey I saw you were making a zip for that guy in the other thread with the batt icons...YOU ROCK PACK!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Ha...when I posted this you had posted 420 times....I guess I know what I have to do!!
ill resend em to ya... no big deal... I always lose stuff in the ridicules number of messages i have lol
side note: lol after I saw your post I tried not to make another for a while because of that (and i dont even smoke anymore lol) just though it was funny as hell... I didn't notice until you posted that...
Thanks pack works great!!
sent with iced out mt4g built to the hilt wit the xda app
not working with CM7
if it says cannot install... you need to uninstall the original one like I said in the OP
in root explorer goto /system/app
goto gallery.apk or gallery3D.apk (cant remember what its called)
and delete it
then install this one
i installed it again in root explorer then appmonster backed it up then deleted from appmonster. then moved this apk and installed. works perfect! Thanks for the tip!

The reason for that is because it is made from the original gallery app. So when you try to install it your device thinks your installing a duplicate application and denies it.

I Noticed that many developers are including the new Rotary Lockscreen in the recent roms that have been released, and thought I would create a thread entirely devoted to Custom Lockscreen Mods for our device. I don't claim to be a developer or themer, but however noted that we have some of the best themers and developers in the Vibrant thread so thought I would start a thread for those who would like to share some themed Lockscreen Mods. I have extracted several settings apk's from several roms and noted that they do work or are compatible with different roms. This thread in no way seeks to minimize the hard work of those developers who have included Rotary Lockscreens in their roms, but only seeks to stir up the creative juices of others who may want to share some of their work. Thanks!! Credit goes to Whitehawx & Hoey2011 for making this possible on our devices. Heres hoping that they will continue to bring their creativity to this thread along with other themers and their themed lockscreen mods.
Thanks to Whitehawx for getting this working on our device and shout out to Hoey2011 for these Lockscreen themes and Brick'd, RobZarzecki and others who supported this. More to Come in different colors and flavors! Stay Tuned!!
Hot Screenies
1st waves of morphs compliments of Hoey 2011. Flash with Metamorph and should be all good. NOTE: The star wars mod may not work after you apply this but the other 5 lockscreens work without a hitch. This is the 1st wave of morphs and all glitches that are found will be worked out accordingly. Whatever theme you are using should not be affected as shown in screenies using Danny Doans Theme with Hoey2011 themed Lockscreen with Rotary. Enjoy and Be on the lookout for more soon!

Yo RobZ im going to post a couple of framework apks and possibly a couple of those setting apks that we discovered works on particular roms just to get it started a little im still contacting a few people to just make sure its ok. Thanks to brickd he okd to post his saturated grey rotary framework and going to check with others also. Its nice to be able to change out lockscreens according to personal pref if compatible. Imagine if someone could develop a lockscreen changer this would be the business!
Hello everyone! Hmmm where to begin. I have done a little poking around regarding adding additional shortcuts to the rotary. I for one would like to have it show missed calls/texts on the center piece and you swing one way or the other to shortcut to it.
Something another dev in the fascinate forums PM'd me about was using the rotary to answer/decline calls. That would be freakin awesome. I'm going to be investigating this as I think it might actually be easier to do than what I said above.
Jcc, I like your idea for an app that can change out colors/themes/ect on the lockscreens. I'm going to do some talking with Roman later to see if we can't work something out for this (he's the java/app expert ).
I do have some other lockscreens I'd like to port over, including the multilock from CM and the iFail...err... i mean iPhone slider lockscreen. No promises on anything though. Anywho, its time to vape!
Whitehawx, I am using Axura 2.3 and when I flashed it the rotary lockscreen didn't appear in my list. I flashed it again and themed it with Gen x red and it still didn't show up. I wanted the rotary look so bad that I found the one attached in the market. Its called GOTO LOCK. If you look at it, I can roll the arrow to the right and hover over sms (my handcent) and it will preview my messages and the same for phone calls and my gmail. It also shows the number of each if any are waiting. Allows me to customize background as well. On the box up top it allows me to silence ringer, vibrate or turn ringer on and a few more gadgets as well. I think if you could incorporate something like this into rotary it would take it to the next level!
BTW...any idea why the rotary lockscreen didn't show up with the rom?
Thanks.

Hmmm I am unsure why the mod would not work, but doesn't Axura 2.3 come with the rotary lockscreen already? Flashing my mod should work, but you would lose all of your theming, ect. Seems odd that it wouldn't work though.

I dont know. Strange. Right after I flashed and went to into settings, display and unlock screen, it only shows the 4 options. Rotary is not even there. I didnt want to lose the theming from my Gen x red theme so that's why I downloaded the one from the market.

This is for Axura 2.3.0.0! Don't flash this if your Axura version differs!
Know your neighborhood!
Hey guys, I made a little mod of the rotary lockscreen for bionix V 1.2.1, based on the GingerBlue theme. Therefore, when you flash this zip, you will have a blue themed phone, only for what framework-res touches. There are no changes to tw-framework, so that apk is not included.
This is a clockwork flashable, and it clears your dalvik cache, so it takes ~3-4 minutes to reboot after flashing it. I was a bit worried because of how long I was having to wait after flashing, but then I realized I have 200+ apps, and that makes rebuilding the dalvik-cache a little time consuming. Screenshots included, here's the link to the mod:
http://www.4shared.com/file/ryMYzZYU/HoeyBWRotary.html
If there's enough interest in this sort of thing, I'll take whatever lockscreen ports there are to handle, and make them customizable for our Vibrants I'm a themer, not a coder heh heh
Edit: I suggest trying this with a black and blue theme, because that's what I designed this little inspiration after. the jog icons are black and transparent, not black and blue like the screenshots suggest, it's just the blue smoke from the wallpaper.
I added a space wallpaper to demo a little better the way it looks
EDIT #19390487: I will consider making these theme a Metamorph simply for the possibility of avoiding replacing the entire framework-res.apk . Metamorph may make it possible to avoid the time-consuming flash/dalvik-cache wipe process I am using now for the theme. Then again, everything has room for improvement, including this mod! Keep in mind, this is a *rough* draft of an idea, and the idea was made specifically for me. If you don't like it, then throw up some suggestions. I will give folks a run down in a separate thread from this, so you can have an idea of what I can change and the effects it will have. That way, this thread can stay open to new *actual* modifications, rather than just aesthetic ones. So basically, I am going to take what progress comes from here, and theme it to gooey goodness. I have a simplistic stylistic preference, but you all may not!
Where exactly are lockscreen-containing files located within the ROM?

Hoey dang that lockscreen is sweet!!thanks for joining the discussion. I'm going test this baby out. It looks Great. Please feel free to Share some of your Lockscreen mods. That's why I started the thread because I believe themers such as yourself as well as others could post the hotness!
@ Oxirane It's either the Framework_res.apk or The Setting.apk and using root explorer you can copy it in systems/framework directory and if you use the setting.apk you can copy it in Systems/Apps folder. It's funny though because I've discovered that on some roms the framework_res.apk file changes the lockscreen, and on others all you have to do is push Settings apk to Systems/Apps. Maybe someone could expound on it for us. Make sure before you push any file with rootexplorer on your phone. SAVE your original files so that if something goes haywire you can just recopy those files as it will give you back your original look before the push. You could also just flash a rom with it already on it also. Hope this makes sense! Chime back if it works for you.
Update: Unable to download from dropbox its giving a error message. Could you post the Mod here in the thread. Thanks.
Until we have kernel access and and or a recovery/bootlader i have started making small mods and themes to my devices , this is one of them... if you would like it let me know... if you would like something else , let me know as well just please do so in an orderly way Meaning make sure no one has requested this ahead of you
Is there a way you can make a Simpsons theme?
Speaking practically, is there a way you can remove the persistent AT&T from the notification bar?
I've also read requests elsewhere for a black notification bar.
Ultimately, I don't know the extent to which you can tweak things, so I'm just going straight for the jugular regarding the things that bother me most.
Thanks for going ahead and sharing this, and putting yourself out there for requests.
I like the green status bar, can/how post that?

I will dbl check but as of now i think att&t has to stay :-( but i can def put together a black notification bar theme
In the other thread about the black bar, the OP was able to remove the ATT. However, during the edits, something happened that now we get FC in settings. OP is trying to fix it, but if you can take a look too to speed things up?

Sweet, i'd really appreciate it.
It maybe a stretch but I ran CM6.1 before this phone and I miss the phone/ringer/messaging/unlock and gesture functions. If you can get one or both going that would be sweet. Also I miss having my lock screen music controls.
Moved to themes and apps as not android development
Its possible to remove the AT&T from the notification bar. Change framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml, and carrier length and padding to zero on line 5.

I agree, how ever shouldn't the rest of these threads just like mine ... or ones titled ROM even though its nothing but a system dump moved as well ? After all with out a recovery, bootloader access, or kernel access, this will be as custom as it come

framework-res.apk doesn't exist in system/framework on the Atrix.
I only see blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk
Digging through the files now.
Need to be redux...to do this right?

I was curious about that, but cannot see it in my framework folder.
I'm using Droid Explorer from my desktop and Super Manager from my phone and I cannot see that one file at all.
EDIT: duh... figured it out.
It was there the whole time. Known file extensions was turned off.
Thanks for the Simpsons theme. Is it flashable?

Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

Do you mean something like night clock or bed clock from the Market?
a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

nope, I mean clock and notifications (sms, missed calls, ..) in grey like Nokia (symbian) has. And moving slightly over the screen as it was a screensaver

don't know what you mean. sorry. I wanted to see if the Sense lockscreen can be modded. Maybe not the ring but the round circles where the apps are. I wanted to see if I can add my own. Is this possible and if so, how.
thanks.

When you said homescreen, I figured you meant the screen you have after you unlock, which is part of whatever launcher you are using. However, I do not know where the location of what you are trying to do offhand. I haven't used sense in a while.

It is inthe idlescreen_base.apk. You must use the M10 editor to get into the files. I know some have made some changes to removing the clock etc. So I am goign to say it's probably possible, but no one has done moved those buttons. Myself have it on my list cuase I want to add a 5th and 6th buton myself.
