change lockscreen wallpaper on cyanogen - Android Themes

simple question. is there anyway to change the lock screen wallpaper on cyanogen mod.
probably the biggest thing i loved about hero roms was that the lock screen is so much better than the default android. Slide or menu to unlock and you could change the background.
Is there anyway to port this lock screen to cyanogen or at least just be able to change the wallpaper.
I know of the apps lock 2.0 and lockbot. Honestly i still like pressing menu to unlock, but i like being able to change the wallpaper. Lockbot is nice, but the hero one looks terrible and the app is still is incredibly buggy.

wow, 53 views, 8 hours and no replies? not even a no it's not possibe (which is what i assume)

i hope that it is, honestly it still alludes me as to why google hasn't added this option in when HTC added it without even thinking about it.

thats for stericksons, i want to change the STOCK lock screen background.

I have the similar situation, but I want to change whole lockscreen application! How do I do this?

I'm pretty sure ClassicalGas has a thread on changing the lockscreen background over in the Desire / Themes section.

Change crappy TouchFlo 'blocks' bacground

Hey guys, lots of great packages here but the one thing I really want to change/get rid off is those crappy blocks which are used in the touch flow background.
You know the ones, the crappy ones which fade into the horizon that look like something from Tron
They look terrible and it seems you can only replace the home area with a background image.
Do any of the packages here allow you to change this?

guess the only way to do that is to change the theme using touch flo 3d config
anyone have a solution for this. as much as i like the blocks i want to change me to the same wall paper as my home page.
Please, i want to change that ugly wallpaper too... Touch flow 3d config "themes change" don't work for that.
I agree. Since ive changed to the Official HTC WWE 1.93 rom with .5 radio (better signal now, thanks for that!) I cannot change the background at all. In SETTINGS and TODAY the background image has been selected by clicking on BROWSE yet nothing is displayed.

You CAN change the Wallpaper on the homescreen by SLIDING to the SETTINGS Tab on the TF3D.
There is an option Wallpaper. This will change the Wallpaper on the HOMESCREEN only (unfortunately) and not on the other tabs
The BACK GROUND with in the Settings and Today menu doesn't apply to the wallpaper.
All the best.

Happy to help.
I find it hard to believe no one has made an app to make the wallpaper apply to all tabs....why did HTC make it like this? Weird....
Im suprised as well. Changing the home page is nice, but i would like the rest of my tabs to look ince too.
still nothing?
can this really be that complex?
Have patience. There are people who are preparing Manilla editors.

Just because you have no clue about how to do this doesn't meant it's a good idea to insult peoples intelligence by implying its simple and they should have done it already. The reason it's not been done yet is not because theres no want, but because devs must first understand fully how Manilla operates, it's not exactly documented in a nice fancy API.

How Can I Change the Amount of Home Screens?

I've installed new themes on my G1, and some of them come with 5 screens. I prefer the default 3. Can someone tell me how to change that?
Please & thank you.

Unfortunately unless the theme comes with the Advanced Launcher you can't do it very easily. You could always push the advanced launcher to the phone, but you would lose all of the themed images in the launcher unless you move them over and resign the apk.
If your theme DOES include the advanced launcher and you have 5 screens, you can change it like this:
Menu button>More>Extended>Home screens
You can change it that and select which screen you want to set as your actual home screen as well.
Might I suggest an easier, much more obvious solution..
Use only 3 screens? Just thinking out loud here.
I have 7 on mine and only use 3-4 tops.
Are you getting slow downs or something like that?

[REQUEST] Remove the clock!

I really want to get rid of the clock on my status bar. Can anyone help me?
you cant remove it but i think you can make it invisible. however the space that the time takes up will still be there. any reason why you want it removed?

If you have a widget clock like the one on sense then it's redundant to have 2 places where time is shown.

exactly.
10chars
Not always, with me having the Cliq and can't change the clock color(yet) We have black themes so we can't see the clock. It didn't bother me since I had Beautiful Widgets at first. But then I realize how annoying it was always switching to the home screen to look at the time if I was in the middle of some task.
of course you can get rid of the clock, you just need to add this line into the statusbar xml file
android:visibility="gone"
that will remove the clock and will remove the space used for it as well, i would recomend you try apk tool on your framework-res.apk
Heres my experience in the past lol, I got rid of my clock, thinking a widget clock and that status bar clock is useless. About a day after, I couldn't help it. Got it back because that widget clock isn't as useful! It looked great at first, but I couldn't just rely on the widget!

Do you honestly want to lock and unlock your phone/ go to your home screen to see the time? Seems kind of annoying to me...

For me it's good cause you can hold the green thing to bring up the (ancient secret)and say alarm or whatever it is to bring up the alarm app.

Um.... that's not exactly the most practical way, bringing up Voice Dialer (Gasp, someone else knows) will close what ever your in (or suspend it technically)

No problem, I remember how frustrating lockbot could get back before I had root. Flashing a rotary lockscreen might have been the thing i wanted root for most

I would just set it up as the main wallpaper. I saw a lot of people wanting lock screen centered wallpapers so when i was working on it i figured why not make one. I too wish i could have two wallpapers one for lock screen and one for the home screens. I have seen some apps that do this. MultiPicture Live Wallpaper is one that i can remember. Ill install the app and redo the picture sizes so they can work for you guys.
OK so install the app -MultiPicture Live Wallpaper-
Go to the setting and check the lock screen option.
Set the lock screen as http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13348576/Android/Xoom/lock.jpg
Then set the home screen wallpaper as http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13348576/Android/Xoom/Wallpaper.jpg
Change the transition to none and BAM you are done.
This is from memory but should be pretty close. If you have any problems let me know and ill redo it on my xoom.
Any wallpaper you find online could necessarily work. I use wallpapers that are 1920px x 1280px and seem to work just fine.

Yes but most of us are picky and want them to be in the right size so they look the best they can.
