themes/lockscreens for 1.6 AOSP CDMA? (NOW WITH METAMORPH QUESTIONS!)

I just flashed the 1.6 AOSP build and I love it; but i'd like to spice it up a little bit. My biggest issue is the lockscreen. I HATE it.
what options do I have in the themes/lockscreens department?
EDIT:
I've installed metamorph and andexplorer but i've done nothing more with it. I've watched the videos in the metamorph thread, but i'm still a touch confused. is it really CDMA/GSM/Rom agnostic? the videos and info lead me to believe that whatever phone/rom you're running doesn't matter and that you can create themes from pretty much anything...but then i see threads that say you need the cyan 2.x.x.x or some other rom that isn't available to the CDMA guys.
Can anyone shed some more light on this? can i steal pieces from the Dream roms and skin my CDMA AOSP 1.6 build with them?

im in the same boat as you. sprint htc hero, running AOSP 1.6 + Googlebits
so far ive found that metamorph is your friend for the theme department. ive used it to change a lot of things so far. i have all eclair icons, the eclair dialer, nexus launcher, and nexus power control widget... just to name a few. there are a lot of other options out there for metamorph as well if the stock look isnt what you fancy.
as far as lockscreens.... im still on the hunt. i absolutely HATE this stock lockscreen
heres some screenshots of what ive done so far to the AOSP 1.6 rom by quietcblongs

Thanks for the info!
for lock screens, I played with Lock Bot (it was an old version that i found in a seedy part of the internet) but it didn't work. I've heard that Lock 2.0 works, but I don't plan on paying $$ for a lockscreen.

here is where most of the mods i have used came from
this is also a large selection of which a lot of the morphs work.
pretty much, rom aside, if the morph is for 1.6 it will probably work. they just work based on where the applications are and what their named which should be the same across the board for 1.6
any more questions feel free to ask.

Thanks man! I managed to get it skinned quite nicely. Sadly, due to unreliable SMS, I have to flash back to a 1.5 ROM

GSII-Transparent-Status Theme (Just A Simple Transparent Status Bar)

I was searching all around the forums for a very simple transparent status bar. Decided to make one instead.
I'm new to all this hacking (just changed over from an iPhone 3GS) and right now a 2.1 mod and Metamorph are satisfying my needs.
Tested on 2.0, 2.0.1 & 2.1
Attached is my Metamorph file:
Enjoy!

Man thank you for making this. I asked about this in the Q and A section if maybe someone could make or if it was possible to have a fullscreen homescreen without that actual bar. But, transparent is very nice as well. Good work!

might want to specify which version of which rom this is for.

I reupped the .zip.
I might have accidentally upped a bad one.
This one works on my phone. I literally just applied it.

wheres the new file bro?

Its on the first page
I just brought down the old file and upped the new one. Its just the .ZIP thats attached.
A link to my site which is so much easier to Navigate on your phone is this:
http://androidthemes.webnode.com/
Just click Direct download To Phone and its so easy

Well love the idea, concept, and look. Unfortunately it looks like it only works for the Droid because my 2.1 Rom OpenEclair v1.1 on the T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) isnt metamorphing it.

id like to see this ported to a 1.6 rom, looks nice.

Did you use colorchange.jar? Can you give a quicky tutorial on how you changed it? I'd like to change mine but I am on 1.6

Main question. Is it fake transparency or real, transparent statusbar.

Thanks for your shared...

Looks good on CM5.0.5. but it lacks any sort of icons that are somewhat important to me

HTC framework and Sense on Froyo???

So is it possible?? If so, where can I get the .apk?? I love the Froyo roms...the speed is amazing but, I miss friendstream and just the sense look in general. Would it slow the rom down any? Has anyone tried it?

same query here

You're probably going to have to wait until HTC updates the Legend to 2.2 and someone ports it over to the Hero. I know nfinite is interested in porting it over once a ROM is released/leaked

Yeah, it's not very simple to do and Sense itself is closed source so we will almost surely have to wait until another MDPI device gets FroYo Sense.
Please also note that there is a Q&A forum for the Hero, this forum section is for actual development for the Hero.

I know it aint sense but damn look at it. This is the latest version of froyo

Sense 2.2 on youtube well have it soon

Just because there is Sense running on 2.2 doesn't mean it's going to be running on Hero any time soon. Sprint has said they have no plans of releasing a 2.2 update, so to get 2.2 on a Hero you're gonna need either a Cyanogen or AOSP rom. Then you've got to pull a 2.2 compatible Sense build from a phone that has the same graphic resolution as the Hero (I believe this is why everyone keeps mentioning the Legend). And THEN you've got to make the two play nice together. I'm not saying it's not going to happen, and I'm not even saying it wont be soon, I'm just saying the fact that other more modern phones are getting 2.2 Sense has very little to do with it coming to the Hero.

What I never understood is why someone just does not load the images into photoshop. Splice them together and resize the canvas to the images get smaller but proportional to themselves. Then, when you done, repackage them and bam.

Because it's not just the images are the wrong size, the framework is compiled for a different processor.

I can Photoshop anything. I'm a designer. But Photoshop doesn't give you functionality meaning just because I change dimensions or image size or even the actual data size of each image on something like friendstream, without HTC framework it will not function. I understand sense is not open source but if that was such a problem we wouldn't have things like the buffed rom. Its gotta be do-able. I'd be willing to help with the images. Sadly until next quarter that's all I'm good for

[Q] [REQUEST] Port Droid X notification icons?

Heyy, I love the look of vanilla android, but the battery, signal and other icons in the notification area look so much better on the Droid X.
Would it be possible for someone to port these over to our Hero?

Niice yeah it should be possible if no one else does this I'll have it finished b4 the end of week

those are nice! can't wait to see what you do MacaronyMax

Sorry but there is a little bit of trouble here,
First i can't seem to find any rom's/dumps for the DX where i can get the images and secondly it is an american device so will not have G H or E only 3G so will look a little bit mix and match if someone links me to a rom/dump though i'll check that thery out

You could check out this Droid X dump someone has posted in the EVO 4G forum

it will be Metamorph

Here you go use metamorph if its not working for you then put the images in your framework-res.apk-res//drawable-mdpi there are also some other things in there like red hilight and DX Lockscreen

Thanks
Thank you so much love it!
I only have one little issue : the signal icon seems to be much smaller than the others. Do I just resize the image to make it bigger?
(that sounded a lot less stupid in my head )

Any posibility to get old fashion SMS Widget?

Hello everyone,
since HTC One don't have SMS widget and i am missing it very much, is there any alternative which can be scrolled and looks similar?
Or is there the chance, that someone port it from earlier devices?
Something like this:

I think you can install the one from Sense 4.* if you have one.

Well i am sure it is not that easy, because the apk uses frameworks, which are located in other apk's.
So it have to be ported

Have you tried it already? As far as I know only sense apps and the sense clock are attached to the sense framework. Other widgets aren't.

Ok will try it and ask Whiskey
But i think it still uses HTC Framework for buttons etc.
Also it could be aproblem because old devices had lower resolution and not full HD...
Edit:
Ok don't work

Hum, as per gtalk we know it doesn't install but I might have another idea.
We'll try later

Won't work, widgets from sense 3.0 all the way to 4+ rely on m10 images in fusion.apk which does not exist in sense 5.0. Furthermore, m10 images/files have been completely removed in sense 5.0.

Lol yeah realized it after extracting the contents from the Android revolution HD thread.
I think porting the timescape widget from xperia is alot easier then. That way not only you get this cascading scrollable message widget but can also support social networks.
