[THEME] Rotary Style Lockscreen for EE 3.0 or CE 1.1 [UPDATED: 06/08/2010]

[THEME] Rotary Style Lockscreen for EE 3.0 or CE 1.1 [UPDATED: 06/08/2010]
This is a rotary style lockscreen for use with EE or CE. The one for EE may possibly work on other ROMs. However, it could cause a boot loop if it does not work, so make a backup before trying. It may also break things non-related to the lock screen. This mod involves editing the android.policy.jar file which is why this is specific to EE 3.0 and CE 1.1. If you like this mod but it does not work right on your ROM, send me your jar file and I will mod it for you.
I got the idea for this from this thread, so thanks to JsChiSurf for the files in the thread. I initially tried just flashing his zip, and it did give me the rotary style lockscreen, but it broke a lot of other system related items. So I compared both my file and his to find where the differences were to make this modded one for EE.
You can choose either the transparent background with the date and time showing or the transparent background with only the charge status showing. I am going to try and make these with the option for a background. There is a link to a MetaMorph theme in the second post if you would like to remove the arrows while unlocking. Let me know if any of you have other suggestions.
UPDATED: I removed the flashable zip files and made some MetaMorph themes that do the job for both EE and CE. The EE lockscreen is transparent atm and comes with or without the time and date. The CE one is not transparent and shows your current selected wallpaper or live wallpaper.

Instructions:
1. Do a NAND backup first!
2. Remove the HtcLockScreen.apk if you have not already
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak
3. Download the appropriate MetaMorph theme
4. Apply the theme in MetaMorph
(NOTE: If your phone does not reboot or MetaMorph does not ask you to reboot, or your phone locks while applying the theme, wait 10 seconds and either pull the battery or send a reboot command.)
5. Reboot & Enjoy

REMOVE ARROWS
1. Apply this MetaMorph theme from here to remove the arrows.
ADD BLUE UNLOCK BUTTON
2. Apply this MetaMorph theme to change to a blue button --> BlueRotary.zip This is loaded in the theme from the first post now

Oh wow, DO WANT.
After people stop texting me i'm definitely flashing this

I would love this for cyanogen eris
going to try and flash it and see if it works as is, just did a nandroid backup

Hey,
Firstly thank you for making this!
ITS AWESOME!
secondly just a quick suggestion, EE has always replaced the kind of stock HTC green with a blue. would it be possible to do this with the lock/unlock button so it fits the whole EE theme?

Check out this link. You should be able to use this. I didnt test it on CE so make sure to make a NAND first before trying. I have used it on Aloysius with no issues.

Would you mind sharing what/where the changes are? I would like to make one CyanogenEris.

It's fairly straight-forward, but it involves decompiling the Java classes, replacing some of them and then recompiling. If you read stopxstart's thread for the white notification bar, you will see what I am talking about. I will put together a little tutorial later when I get home from work.

I know how to de-compile it. I just need to know what changes where made to the smali files. Then I can make a metamorph for CE .

Sure, It's the LockScreen class. My files are at home, but you should be able to grab it from the one I posted.

Sweet! Just tried it .. Works! All I replaced was "LockScreen.smali" . If I don't see any errors I will post morph for CyanogenEris.
EDIT:
Ok, this is weird! Any idea why it says "SIM card is PUK-locked."? It only shows it when its plugged in to my laptop.

Try replacing the sub classes as well (I think that's what they are). There should be about five. They have the $ and integers in their name. If that does not help, then it is more ROM specific. To fix it will require editing the original smali instead of just replacing files. A Little more intense, but based on your results so far, it's possible.
Put this file in your MetaMorph theme to change the green button to cyan.

If I move the rotary to "Sound Off" it says "Screen Lock" then turning it back on it says "Power Off". LOL!

Yes, yes. Funny man. I know exactly where the problem is. Minor, very minor issue. The method is just referencing the wrong strings. I will fix it after work. I spent a while getting the other issue fixed. I'm an expert at logcat and Java errors now. At least they give you the line number.
By the time this is done, I will have added missed call notifications as well.

You can go to the nexus one/droid forums and download the stock rom and take the png's out of the framework-res.apk. If you post the framework-res.apk or the system dump then I can do it for you.

ok here it is thanks so much

I will update. I am going to use assonance 4.3's framework as a base.

It looks like the white status bar isn't in it. I got the icons though. Is there any aok in the system dump called systemui.apk? Actually just give me a link to the system dump.

thanks ill try it right now! ok everything looks freakin awesome .. no force closes! although i do have one minor gripe - I'm at 98 percent battery and my battery icon shows im at like 80- also the time is in white font which is kind of hard to read. Is there a fix to both of these issues? Also one last thing - is there a way i can change my gingerbread lockscreen to the froyo android one? Thanks again .. will definetely donate if u have paypal

The clock color is a quick status_bar.xml edit. The battery icons, I looked through the zip, are exactly right. Looks like the first few are a bit off. Would have to edit the .png's to make it look different.
Posted 100%, 98% and 80% for comparison.

Dude I owe you man, you're doing a lot of work on this haha-I tried myself to edit some files and I'm completely flabbergasted and this is what i mean by froyo

Try the attached framework out. I fixed the lockscreen (I think. i didn't check it.) and the battery. Also try this twframework out. It has the big S in the background. I think I can to do time though. I am not experienced in smali edits. If you can find a JPY theme though that has a black clock though you can use the services.jar from that.
Don't worry about donations. My pleasure to help you.

[MOD] (Semi-)Transparent status bar for CM7 (only 2.3.7)

As the Mod from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12815653) to make the statusbar transparent in CM7 is outdated, and users kept asking for an update, I decided to make it
VERY important: not all launchers handle this mod the same way!
In order to make it work, please note that:
ADWLauncher: works after unchecking "System Preferences" > "Wallpaper hack";
LauncherPro: works only with live wallpapers or with normal wallpapers, but you have to hide notification bar on "Appearance Settings" in LauncherPro.
Stock GB launcher: works, no issues.
Go Launcher EX: as LauncherPro users.​

Yes, it's only for the Desire HD.

Hey sigurd_LU, any chance of making a 20% transparency mod?
Thanks!

Very kind of you to update this for all the plebs!
I can't get it to work with BlackIce 1.23 and Go Launcher though, unfortunately. It gives me a force-close every time.
By the way, Go launcher's menu selections are not the same as LauncherPro's...

I think although BlackIce is based on CM, the differences are big and this mod isn't compatible. Even if it wouldn't force-close: this replaces the whole SystemUI.apk which contains the status bar icons for example, so the whole BlackIce look would be changed as well.

I don't know if it's exactly the same for your SystemUI, but here's how I've done it.
After decompiling the SystemUI.apk, go to smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar and open StatusBarService.smali with a text editor, for example Notepad++. Don't use the windows editor, it has problems with unix!
Search for const/4 v5, 0x2 and change it to const/4 v5, -0x3.
Then, go to res\drawable-hdpi and search for the following file: statusbar_background.9.png and edit it with Paint.NET, Photoshop or another programm that can handle transparency.
Here's for example my png for 50% transparency:
It looks solid here, but it's transparent, as you can see here:
Recompile afterwards, and you're done

Thanks, I'll try to do that this afternoon! I'll post back if it works.
---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------
Ok, the good news is it doesn't FC, but it's not transparent either. Sadly :-( If you have any more ideas, I'm all ears.
Well, either way, thank you very much for your time.

What launcher are you using? Maybe you forgot the specific settings, as stated in the first post.

Nah, I double checked with several launchers (ADW, Go, LauncherPro). :-/
Here's a quick screenshot of the edits:
The edge of the .png looked a little different from yours, if you are wondering why it's not identical to yours. I'm really confused that it doesn't do *anything* at all.

Your edits look good to me.
Maybe something went wrong while flashing..?

I did it manually, once over adb and once over ssh. Android is definitely using the modified file, the old one is in the same folder as SystemUI.apk.old and has a slightly different size. I'm on CM7.1 nightly (2.3.7), would that be a problem? There's (afaik) no stable for the SGS2 yet.
Maybe I did the (de)compiling wrong? Put SystemUI.apk in the appropriate folder, start batch script, select decompile. Go to extracted files and edit as seen above. Then restart the batch script and recompile. Say yes to "system apk?" and yes to "copy back as much as possible?" (or whatever it asked exactly, it certainly asked two things and I said yes to both^^).

[THEME] SwiftKey X ICS Theme v1.1

Hey folks,
Today I played around with the SwiftKey apk and build my own ICS Theme. So far I have only tested it with my own phone and version (DHD with 200 DPI, SwiftKey X v2.2.0.121). Feel free to follow the short tutorial and enjoy the ICS experience.
Requirements:
Installed JDK
AutoSign (see attachments)
WinRAR or 7zip (untested)
SwiftKey X (tested with v2.2.0.121)
Steps:
Download the attachments
Pull the SwiftKey apk off your phone
Open the apk with WinRAR or 7zip
Copy the content of the "ICS Theme.zip" into the equivalent folders in the SwiftKey apk
Most of the files have to go into the "res" folder - Only "resources.arsc" has to go into the root folder!
Delete the "META-INF" folder inside the apk file
Sign the apk using AutoSign by copying it into the AutoSign folder and starting "sign.bat"
[*]Deinstall your previous version of SwiftKey X
Install new one
Change the theme inside the SwiftKey Properties
Enjoy, hit the thanks button and leave some feedback!
Changelog:
Code:
[B]SwiftKey X ICS Theme v1.1 (13 February 2012)[/B]
- [FIXED] Fonts
[B]SwiftKey X ICS Theme v1.0 (12 February 2012)[/B]
- Initial release
- HDPI only!

Works great thanks!

After installing I can see my app themed like the 1st screenshot you've posted. It's nicer than the stock one but I'd like to have SK themed like the SECOND screenshot you've posted or anyway you should use a darker gray far keys, much similar to the one in the stock Android keyboard... that will look cool!
This better matches the ICS gray. The other one is too Bright imho.
To improve this mod, I suggest you to ad a themed "dark theme" with ICS blue replacing the Gingerbread green.... That would be REALLY appreciated, something like this posted in the VIP forums of SK.
I'll try to make it myself and see what happens.
Anyway, you did a really good work!

The second screenshot shows the popup when long pressing a key, it's actually the same theme. If you like it a bit darker, just go ahead and change "default_btn_keyboard_key_normal_numbers.9.png" as well as "default_btn_keyboard_key_normal.9.png" to your taste. Don't forget signing the apk before you copy it to your phone!
EDIT: As for the actual "dark theme" you mentioned... I'll see what i can come up with tomorrow.

well, actually I tryed to modify some of the res files, but they lose the transparency of the background after being saved with photoshop never happened this before (transparency is lost even if not modifing the file and obviously saving in png format).
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for posting this, works great.

Wonder if the theming is possible for non-HDPI devices? I couldn't get the install to work on my Galaxy S2 LTE (sgh-i727r) so I'm guessing my phone isn't HDPI..
Was it difficult for you to dev this? I'm thinking about trying to make the theme possible for non-HDPI devices if it wasn't too too complicated.

Next, Resize the first picture to 188x152
As you can see i made mine transparent
Save it as iphone_background_3.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Now open the second stock image you want to use as the slider
So now let's make the slider (Hooray), design it like the way you want after that resize to 112x120
Then save it as iphone_slider_left.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Now do the same procedure for the right slider and size it to 112x120
Then save it as iphone_slider_right.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Lastly make a preview of the theme and resize it to 90x90
Then save it as iphone_preview.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Now, lets compile the theme elements that we just made by making a zip
go back to the folder that you have created as "mytheme.wltheme"
and right click to bring down options, next select "add to archive"
This should popup afterwards, change the radio button from rar to zip
Next copy the file, connect USB storage to PC then navigate to your SD-Card
"\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes", paste it there
Now that your theme is installed just click refresh themes
and apply the theme you made
And here is your finished product:
KUDOS !!!! Its in the attatchment if you want
TIP: You can also convert several widgetlocker themes that was made for HDPI, MDPI and port it to LDPI

widgetlocker actually enables you to customize your own activity for the lock, its in the options

Hi - I know that, thats not my problem - what I'm looking for is an option to built my own theme from scratch. With more than the option to unlock... so not unlock or cam or phone but unlock AND phone AND cam.
I only find tuts how to change the visual settings of an existing locker.
cheers

hello i have been looking around and it seems no one has been having the problems i currently have been experiencing and i wonder if anyone knows how to fix this?
i've currently been just editing the arrow slider style sliders for widget locker and been saving the background with the regular .png format not interlaced as well as trying it interlaced with no luck as when i zip them up and try to install on my phone they go in like they should, but when i try to use the slider the background doesn't appear when the file clearly was made i'm wondering is there something i'm doing wrong?
oh and my device is the droid 4 and most other sliders i haven't edited work fine

hmm,
what format did you save the whole zip into?
and did you use photoshop?

same prob with the background element.
Sry didn't find anything else to ask my probs... seemly old topic.
Anyways... I have same problem as the guy above mentioned. The background element just don't appear. I even tried to use another theme as a base for new one. I only edited the background pic and saved it as it was. Same problem appears again, no background element visible. What do I do wrong?

I will be waiting for a more in depth tutorial regarding this. Thanks.

It needs a 1x1 pixel at the top of the image as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825553
I had the same problem. I d/l'd the Tron Slider and copy/pasted the image I wanted in photoshop. The problem was that I was deleting the old layer, thus getting rid of the pixel at the top as well. Once I just deleted the image and left the pixel at the top, it worked fine.
