I don't know how to create the \data\com.kanokgems.smswidget folder on the sd card. Windows wont allow me to create a folder with the "\" character in it and if I use root explorer or astro nothing happens? Can anyone help me with this?????

that folder is already on your sd card... just put your icons in that folder.

crazy thing is, I don't see the sms unread folder in the data folder....crazy directories

There is a "data" folder on your SD-
Open it. There you find a folder called: com.kanokgems.smswidget
If not create a folder called com.kanokgems.smswidget
Put your icons in there. That's it
By the way, does anybody knows how to change the align of the unread bubble? I guess you/I have to go into the .apk, right?

Superb, thanks for this.
The problem I have is that doing this seems to resize my png file. Any ideas? I'm using the Desktop VisualizeR app to create something similar to the Android 7 theme.
If I use the same image for both apps, the SMS unread count always comes out smaller, no matter how much I enlarge the original file. Even resizing with Launcher Pro doesn't help, as it obvious that it's a few pixels smaller.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Any news on your question? Would like to know it, too. Also resizing would be great.
And does anyone by any chance know where I can edit the red bubble background? It is used by the launcher and by SMS Unread Count but I can't find it in the apps or in the framework (or anywhere else). I searched through lots of apks and it is nowhere! Any help? Please? I'm starting to think I'm either blind or stupid ...

Just did a quick run through of the app files and can't find it either. The red is hideous but the rest of the app is great.

I had the same question so I decompiled the APK and found that the bubble is drawn with java code. It's not impossible, but you'd have to reverse engineer a lot of code to modify it. The problem is that dex2jar doesn't work that well and smali code is difficult to work with. It'd probably be easier to write your own app.
Though I haven't tested it, it looks like you can change the bubble background color by editing an xml file. In res/values/colors.xml there's a line that says <color name="bubble_dark_background">#b2191919</color>. You'd still have the glossy overlay though which I think is just as ugly.
When I find the time I'm going to write my own widget. It's a good excuse for me to learn to code in android and it seems like I'm not the only one with a need for it.

anyone know of an app like this that will read notifications from google voice....taht is where I text message from.
Thanks

I use adw ex and get the notifer plug in. you change the size and color of the bubble

I've downloaded smsunread from kanokgems, but wonder if it can only work as a widget? What if I just want to change the default red bubble for unread sms to blue on my dock? Has anyone tried changing the script?

I can`t figure out the bloody app, I`ve followed the **** instructions on the app page, then followed the ones on here, I can find the folder, I put the icons there but it does`nt see them, plus the notification bubble does`nt pop up when a message comes in, is this Ginger bread compatible?

hi all !
quick question: the unread sms icon is always linked to the stock sms app, any way to go around that and have it linked to Handcent sms, which I'm using ?
thanks lads and lassies !

Still no help, suppose that can't be done... Too bad!

Titanium LTD v1 & v2 ( Titanium Themes WQVGA, QVGA, WVGA, VGA)

Titanium LTDv2 OUT NOW!!!
POSTED FIX!! INSTALL AFTER EVERYTHING
Alright, hopefully I didn't rush to much and miss something. Here it is. TitaniumLTDv2. I put in in zip format and included all plugins used as well as the backgrounds if you'd like to use them. You don't have to though. I'm going to be Hard resetting and installing this myself so I guess it's cross your fingers and hope no other modifications are needed. PLEASE USE THE "READ ME" FILE!! all instructions are there along with credits. Thanks everyone and let me know how it all goes.
Donations are welcome. If you'd like to donate please send me an PM for the link and credit ;D

Portrait Only:
Added cprs for QVGA,VGA and WVGA , need testers.
Update: Seperated cabs by resolution. Now includes WVGA.
EDIT: If you recently installed the QVGA and VGA cab please except my apology as I forgot to change the extesiblityXML string in the registy to point to TitaniumLTD_"resolution".cpr. So if you did install it then you probably would of only seen minor changes. Sorry, reposted correct cab.
Be sure to install mortscript first
Okay, after weeks of work it's finally finished...I think lol. It works great on my phone after a hard reset. To install first make sure that your accel is disabled then install cheroclock (included in zip) first, then install cLauncher and ATContacts if you choose to (also included). Then install the Titanium LTD.cab. It will prompt you to restart your phone, after restart go to start>settings>home>appearance and choose the Titanium LTDWQVGA theme. You can use any background that you want however I've included the background in the preview and also I've included a new bootscreen for you to use if you want as well.
Problems include cheroclock panel the slider can be seen behind the clock background. And in the atcontacts and clauncher panels the tab image will disappear when you change pages. The reason is I don't know how many different pages you'll use so I chose to just install the image on the first page. And finally if you choose to use landscape and go to the home screen then Titanium will act all crazy and require a soft reset.
EDIT: To get to the forecast page, swipe left or right along the middle of the screen on the clock panel.
I've worked really hard on this one and I hope you guys like it. But it couldn't have been done without the help of.....
chriscsh - For creating the cheroclock plugin
tacchan23 - For the ideas for the tsk theme
Homerwasa - For being another titanium genius
EGrier and JoeFrank - For helping test everything out.
So here it is, I'll call it version 1 because there is still alot that can be done. Enjoy.
I should've put this in the preview but here's the edited forecast page of cheroclock.

It's very possible since the resolutions are so close. I don't have a qvga device to test it on. But you could try it and post your findings if you'd like.

If it does not fit on QVGA just install it, then copy out from windows the installed WQVA cpr to you desktop, resize it with the cpr resizer for QVGA and then copy it back to windows. Then restart Titanium.

Thanks claus1953, maybe I'll get my hands on that and convert them for everyone. However like I mentioned my device is wqvga so I would have no way to test them to see if they worked.

I can test it for you with pleasure, i like your theme a lot. I hope your cprs are named after your theme, like the ones from the titanium hero sense (Heroxxxxxx.cpr). So it wont overwrite the other ones.

Unfortunately when I did this I just edited the titanium_xxx_xxx.cpr. But that should be an easy fix though. I don't know how to use different cprs with one phone right now. I know it's possible but I haven't looked into it. But I'll run it through the cpr resizer and I'll also rename it to TitaniumLTD_xxxxxxx.cpr as well that way it won't overwrite any of your other cprs.

That is ok, it is in fact only a registry change, in the extensibilityxml string one has to change the active cpr to the name of the current cpr, in your case TitaniumLTD. That will make CHome take this specific cpr set.

So I just change the extensibilityxml in the registry to say TitaniumLTD and the name in the plugins order to say TitaniumLTD_240x400.cpr and that would work? So if that works I can switch back and forth between 2 cpr files as well? Thanks man, I knew posting this on here would further my knowledge in this lol.

Yes, if you check on my signature i made a small mortscript based application to switch between many themes and have adapted many cprs to work that way, like Bliss, TitaniumNeo, ShadowNeo, WM7 project, Lizzy, Buffed etc.
The biggest problem was that many themes use modified bronzeres.dll, so i had to swap it also. Did you also change bronzeres.dll?

Yes I did modify the bronzeres.dll to fit the theme as well. I mean I could probably do it where I just incorporate the images into the cpr but editing the bronzeres helped make it complete. For example when you get a text message from someone that you have in your contacts with a picture that picture will show up in the bottom right of the text background. So in order to switch completely you'd have to switch out the bronzeres file too huh?

Yes but this is not a problem as i do it for other themes too. There are themes which do make all the changes only on the cpr, calling pictures and images which are stored in a folder, but there are other themes which do modify the bronzeres.dll. I would only need to store your bronzeres too in a folder and swap it when changing to your theme.

Sorry it didn't work. Did you try the resizer the way claus1953 suggested? If not when I get some spare time I'm going to try to get all resolutions working.
claus1953, how would I go about adding that to my theme? I'd like to give users the ability to change the themes as often as they like.

I added a cab to post one using the cpr resizer. I resized the cprs for QVGA and VGA. But I need testers to let me know what works and what doesn't.

The theme might not work because I goofed when I uploaded it and kept the extensibiltyXML string to point to Titanium_xxxxxxx.cpr. However I'm gonna be posting up the correct cab in just a second pointing to TitaniumLTD_xxxxxxx.cpr. That should work with the theme. As far as the black background, I'm thinking that it's another theme that is working together with this one that gives you the black background with the black letters. Someone else had this problem earlier today and said after a soft reset everything worked great so give that a shot and let me know if it works.

Create your own FlipFont APKs complete walkthrough +Now with quick font size scaling

Create custom FlipFont files with font preview and icon.
*At present this only works on Galaxy S phones, but should work if FlipFont is ported or released on other devices*
Why do we need to jump through hoops?
It seems that the fonts in the MonoType apks on the market are digitally signed. This is what is preventing the use of any old font being added to an APK. I believe the FlipFont app is looking for the digital signature in the font within the APK. If its not there, it does not use the font and reverts to using the default font. It MAY be possible to edit the FlipFont APK so that it no longer looks for the digital signature. This should allow us to use any font without jumping through hoops.
If you can find the FlipFont Apk please post its location or better yet PM me with its location. If your really feeling spunky ADB pull the file off your phone and post it here, so we can take a look at it.
Lets trick FlipFont. Heres what you need.
Apk Manager 4.8 found here. This will allow you to decompile and edit the APK attached at the bottom of this link. Dont worry its much easier then it sounds.
FontCreator 30 day trial found here. This is a windows only program. If you know of a cross platform, open source or FREE font editor please let me know. The one on source forge is not stable enough for use at present and its install needs its own walk through.
***Link for FontCreator has been downgraded to version 5, which will allow you to save fonts during the 30 day trial, unlike version 6. Thanks sigeltek***
Photoshop or Gimp. Note you only need this if you want to edit the icon file for the app. I will not go over editing the icon in the walk-through, this should be pretty self explanatory.
Digitally Signed Monoglyceride font found here For some reason Mediafire sees this as a jpg file. Click the download this image button in the link and you will see its actually a .ttf file. ODD :ºp
The Monoglyceride APK attached at the bottom of this link.
Walk-through editing the Monoglyceride font with FontCreator.
Open the Monoglyceride.ttf font with FontCreator
Open the .ttf font you want to use.
Make note of the number of Glyphs at the bottom right side of FontCreator when you have your font selected.
Click the Monoglyceride font window in FontCreator and choose edit>select all at the top of the program.
Hit delete on your keyboard. This should delete everything in the Monoglyceride window.
click Insert>Glyphs... at the top of the program
type in the number of glyphs your font has in it and hit ok. You should now see a bunch of empty glyphs in the Monoglyceride window.
Now switch back to your font and again hit edit>select all
Hit edit>copy
Swith back to the Monoglyceride window and click edit>select all... and then edit>paste special...
This will open up the Paste Special window. Put a check in every box in Item section and choose "Add Mappings" in the mappings section and then click OK.
If this worked properly you should see all of the characters and mappings from your font in the Monoglyceride.ttf window.
Close your fonts window in FontCreator
Click File>Save as, rename the Monoglyceride.ttf with the name of your font.
Thats it you now have a digitally signed font. If you want to double check, open the new font in windows and you should see that the font is still technicaly the Bauhaus font, but it now contains your fonts characters. :º)
*** eweo911 has just informed me of a quick way to resize the font if it is too large. You can check to see if its too big by double clicking on one of the glyphs after preforming the Paste Special section of the instructions above. Its best to choose one of the uppercase letters. If the glyphs image goes above the guide shown for cap it WILL be a large font on the phone. These guides are set in the perfect position for our phones screen.
Here is the quote from eweo911:
I have figured out how to make the fonts smaller so you can adjust them to fit the screen better. Not sure if anyone else has done it yet but here is what I did.
After you do the "Paste Special" in font editor (per Ritalins how-to), you will need to make sure all of the glyphs are highlighted in the new font. Yiou will then go to "Tools" and then "Glyph Transformer". Once there, you will select the "Selected" button, then under Available Features you will expand the Outlines tree. Select scale and then you will have two variables for Outlines-Scale. Choose an integer that you want to test with and then hit "ok". Save as your new font name and that should be it.

Another helpful hint for eweo911, for those that want to use a font, but the new font is missing some of the special characters.
Here is the quote for eweo911
The process is pretty similar to the original.
1. Start out in Font Creator by opening your two fonts.
2. In your new font, choose to "select all".
3. Go to Edit and then Copy
4. Switch over to the monoglyceride font (or whatever you are using as the original font you will be making into the new font). Here, selct all glyphs as well.
5. Go to edit and the paste special, selecting all four Items and choosing "Overrule Same Mappings".
6. Hit ok and then save the file with your new font name.
This will place all of the new glyphs into the font you will be remaking while retaining all of the special characters from the original font.

Walk-through editing the apk with Apk Manager 4.8
Download the monoglyceride.apk listed below.
Copy the apk into place-apk-here-for-modding folder in the Apk_Manager_4.8 directory.
Run script.bat and choose option 9
Open Apk_Manager_4.8\out\assets\fonts in explorer
Replace existing monoglyceride.apk font with the .ttf font you edited in FontCreator
edit all XML, yml and smali files to include the font name or font.ttf depending on the entry in the original file. Just replace monoglyceride in these files and folder with the name of your font. Pay attention to capitalization in the existing files, and make sure to do the same when replacing with your file name.
Edit the last folder name in the smali folder tree from monoglyceride to the name of your font
Edit the icon.png in the drawable folder with one of your own.
Compile apk - option 11
Sign apk option 12
Check the Apk_Manager_4.8\place-apk-here-for-modding folder and you should see repackaged-signed.apk along with the original monoglyceride apk. Rename your new signed.apk file the same as the monoglyceride one and just check the name at the end with your font name. This is not REALLY necessary, but do it for consistency sake.
install apk on your phone
This might take you about 30 minutes the first time you run through it, but after you get accustom to the steps you should be able to bang through it in about 10 minutes.
Well here you go, here is my first custom FlipFont APK.

Its working perfectly for me, but let me know if you have any issues.

Reserved for further changes.

Yes!
As a major font fanatic myself, I applaud you sir If you get this working I have a boatload of fonts I'd want to try... Flux would look stunning on this screen...
http -- ://new.myfonts.com/fonts/t26/flux/
http -- ://new.myfonts.com/fonts/fontbureau/fb-agency/
Etc...

Few steps forward, few steps back.
First off I will say that the font is a little hard to read and too light, but this is just for testing so its not that big a deal right now.
Ok so I got hold of a font that about the same size as the Bauhaus font. After doing everything in the above posts and installing the font, the restart was a LITTLE bit faster. It still seems to choke for about a minute or so after the desktop first appears and the pass based lock screen is sometimes unresponsive on first try. Overall its running much better, but still not perfect.
Also some words see to get clipped off for no reason as you can see in the image attached on the text for the Astro bluetooth icon. Not sure why this is happening.

Seriously, 160+ views and no comments. Does no one have ANY experience with font development, XML or apk development?

None, but we all want new fonts....

something that you can just drop any .ttf and you get the .apk out of it.

Ive been trying to edit an xml for a week to change the font color... you have actually gotten further than I have... keep up the good work... I hope you figure it out...

You can try this right here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630 . It was made for a cyan template so I don't know if it will work on SGS.

What I would also like to see is if we can locate, remove and port the FlipFont apk. Anyone up for trying that part?

Your font looks great on my Captivate. Thanks for sharing

Other info and things Ill try next
Before going through the time consuming method of editing the .ttf font file listed above I wanted to see what would happen if I left the original font APK alone and just removed the all of the internal naming. This area contains things like the font name, vendor, license agreement, copyright, ect... After I removed those entries in the file, windows still showed it as Digitally Licensed, but the font FAILED when recompiled and installed in Android.
I am going to try moving these entries over to another font and try again. This may not work, because from what I have read about digitally signed font, editing them breaks the signing. There is hope that this is not true based on the fact that I DID edit the font (characters, ect..)and it still worked. [/INDENT]

Alright so I gave this a try and it made the font fail. It will install and show properly in the settings preview window, but after applying it and restarting the font shows up as the default font. My guess is that the font DOES HAVE TO BE digitally signed with the right key in order for it to function in FlipFont.
I have simplified another method of using the existing digitally signed font and copying another fonts characters and glyphs into it. I will post a how to when I find a free or open source font editor so everyone can do it.

Thanks for the guide. I'll try it later.

Thanks david.. Been there done that... I got it done its just force close looping the phone...

It was just meant to show interest.
Tried the font, and it rocks - thanks for the dev work!

Has anyone managed to find the FlipFont apk? I would like to take a look at it to see if the digital signing check for fonts can be removed.

I am also thinking about creating a dropbox directory for the fonts, with two folders. One for the APKs the other for just fonts that people have tested and know look good on our screens.
If you want access just shoot me a PM.

- Settings and custom sliders
- How-to create a theme [UPDATE SOON]
- Future updates and wishes
The thread is full of answers and questions. If you do a quick search you might find the answer you were looking for. If you can't
find it, don't hesitate to ask. There are other users here willing to help you. Feel free to comment in this thread or send me a PM
if you feel the thread needs an update on any of the steps.
After initial setup you can personalize your settings some more. The first thing you're going to wanna edit is the Layout
- The grid size: If you're familiar with LauncherPro or ADW you should know that grid sizes determines how the screen will look.
WidgetLocker allows for up to 10x10 grid. Try it out and see what you like best. The grid size also changes the way themes look.
You can think of it like changing your density, unless you use the anchor. It will automatically resize the theme to the appropriate
size. It doesn't work in landscape mode, though.
- The wallpaper: The issue is that the system can only have one wallpaper and it's shared globally. So WidgetLocker's custom
wallpapers are just images that WidgetLocker displays as a background. The best fix for this might be for WidgetLocker to let you select
a file, using gallery or astro or whatever, and then have WidgetLocker do the cropping itself. This way it gets the actual image and can still
crop it or scale it down (sanely) to avoid using so much memory, but can be done without banding. If you want to do it manually in the mean
time and are rooted you can replace WidgetLocker's /data/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/files/wallpaper.png with your own. Just make
sure the resolution matches your phones. Then disable/reenable WidgetLocker to get it to reload.
- Installing a custom slider: Since WidgetLocker 2.0 custom themes are supported and come in the .wltheme.zip format. This means you can
open it and your phone will prompt you to Install and Add the theme. The themes are saved on your SD card (/data/com.widgetlocker.teslacoilsw/themes).
You can also copy the theme.wltheme.zip to the folder on your SD card. Naturally the theme will be unavailable once your SD card is mounted to a
computer or something similar. It will return to normal once you unmount it again. You add the themes you've installed by longpressing the screen and
choose Custom Slider. There you can do even further settings, like slide from right to left. If not you simply press "Add".
- Advanced settings: You can use Root Helper to avoid seeing the standard Android lockscreen if you have root. This is not something the developer of
WidgetLocker can do anything about. Check the information found in the application regarding root and standard lockscreen. An alternative is downloading
NoLock from the Market. If you've got root and a custom ROM loaded you can probably disable the lockscreen under Power Settings.
1) Create a new document.
The height of the slider is 150 - but we're going to add two extra pixels. WidgetLocker uses _3.png which allows for up and downsizing of the sliders. That means the
themes can be used with basically any device, ranging from HTC Wildfire to the Motorola Xoom. It's still not a hundred percent - but it's a hell of a lot better than the
old way of theming. More on _3.png in the next step
2) The black pixel (_3.png)
As you can see in the image below I've added a 1x1 pixel on the very top of my image. You can either zoom in a couple of times or create a smallest box you possibly
can in full view. The pixel has to be 1x1 if not it'll be shown in the theme. Which doesn't look good. In the picture below I'm zoomed in at 200 % (I think).
Continue making your design.
3) The slider
The actual size of the slider you can change around just as much as the background. I usually go with the same height, that way aligning the slider and background seems
easier. This is pretty self explanatory, see the below image.
Continue making your design.
This is what you want your themes folder to look like. The slider_right is fully transparent. There's no need to actually make it transparent. If your background doesn't contain
any text you can include a second arrow (like above) but the other way so other users can choose themselves if the want to slide left or right. (Protip)
Then finally .zip the themes-folder!
[ COMMENT YOUR WISHES AND AND I'LL ADD THEM HERE! ]
Email between zHk3R and [email protected]
Themes:
The image heights don't allow sliders to appear on the very bottom of screen. This goes especially for the iphone themes. The slider
and background height don't look the same height no matter what I try in Photoshop. There are other users that are reporting this; Is it a user issue
or something that should be addressed?
It's my fault for poor examples and documentation, but can be handled by themers. I should've made the default iPhone background 152px tall so themers
would know to keep that, but didn't. Themes assume HDPI, so one standard slider row is 150px tall. Three Patch images have the 1 pixel border on all sides,
so a 152px tall background will perfectly fill out one standard row. WidgetLocker will scale/stretch the image if the row size is different. I've attached an ugly
iPhone theme to demonstrate.
Same idea for the sense slider, it defaults to two rows, so 300px background, no need for the 2 extra pixels since it's not a three patch.
Is there a possibility to disable the Sense clock?
I'll add this soon. Not 2.0.1, but probably 2.0.2.
Wishes:
More ways to unlock the screen! It'd be great if we could make a slider like the one attached. That'd be freaking awesome to be honest with you.
That's something people have even have been sending me PMs about!
I think the attached could be done, remove the Anchor then resize an iPhone slider to be vertical. But the theme would like kind of funny horizontally since WL
rotates the other direction.
I'm definitely planning on some more unlock methods. HoneyComb for sure, possibly something like MIUI, and maybe the Samsung puzzle unlock as well as the Samsung
sweep glass (Which is kind of similar to that WP7 one, except for the transparent part.
Android 2.1 and 2.3, but not 2.2, could handle transparent WidgetLocker pretty easily, 2.2 has some bug where lock screen interactions are difficult for a transparent activity.
I can work around it, but it's a pain since most of my users are on 2.2. But it's on my radar.

My guess is most people won't sign their .apk after applying the images.
Unless they use the APK Manager-step in the 'tutorial' of course.

Don't you need root to get to the APK in the first place? I can't access data/app without Root Explorer

I'm a little unsure, but seeing as non-ROOTED users are pulling their .apks and pushing them back I'm guessing root isn't necessary to pull the app from /data.
If it were located in /system I'm sure you would need root in order to pull it.
Root Explorer allows you to explore the 'locked down' parts of your phone. You cannot access /data with normal file browsers.
But regardless; Without root you can pull the .apk using your computer.
If it's gonna work when you push it back is the bigger question.

You can backup application

There's a little confusion here about rooting.
Allow me to clear it up.
I'm not rooted. But I don't purchase apk files from the Market.
I download them all. So I originally have the apk files on my computer.
I then run the APK Manager and go from there, then put the signed apk file on my SD card, use Astro to install it and voila.

[MOD]How to customize your 3.0 lockscreen wallpaper and request thread!

First and for most,
I must start this by saying that before you do ANYTHING
make a nandroid.
If you dont, well, that sucks for you.
I take no responsibility for your mistakes.
Now taking requests!
I wont claim to be some great artistic talent, but if you send me the image you want to use, Ill put it together for you. Donations not necessary, but always appreciated. Thanks!
You can find ones already done here!
Requests and premades found here!
NOW FOR THE SKINNY!So, most of us, Im pretty sure, think that the wallpaper on the lock screens suck. I was curious about if it was possible to change it and the answer I came up with was yes. Big thanks to Cy_ni_c for the heads up on this.
First of all you want to grab m10 tools.
Once you have that downloaded, open it up. Now you want to get the image ready that youre wanting as your wallpaper. To make things easier on yourself, make three copies. The image needs to be set EXACTLY this way:
1. Image needs to be resized to EXACTLY 540x960. You can do this in any image editor.
2. Flip the image upside down.
3. The images MUST be PNG format.
Once you have this done, you want to grab the IdleScreen_Weather.apk out of the rom youre usings zip folder. Its located in system/apps. Once you get the apk, you want to open up m10 and click load file. Navigate and select the IdleScreen_Weather.apk.
Once this loads, you want to click the tab that says m10 Files. At the bottom of the screen, youll see where it says Decode Images, make sure you check that box.
You want to double click the Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10. It will ask if you want to decompile it. Click yes. At this point, youll be brought to the next tab which is Editor.
From here you want to expand until you see Textures. Under there you will see three spots labeled Texture. Click that and it will bring up an image to the right. Right click on this image and click "Show in Explorer". You will see three png files in here. You want to replace each one with the images you created earlier. This is important though. Make sure you copy the name of each file youre replacing EXACTLY. Im not responsible for any errors you make on renaming.
Once you get all three of the images replaced, go back to start and then save .apk Make sure to use the same name.
Now you can either push this through ADB or just place the apk onto your SD card. If youre using a root explorer, which is how I do it cause its just easier, you want to copy the apk into the system/app folder. You want to make a backup incase you run into any issues. Once you get your edited apk inside of the system/app navigate to the file and long press and go to permissions then set them as follows.
Read Write Execute
Owner: X X 0
Group: X 0 0
Others: X 0 0
Once your permissions are fixed, you want to reboot. When you reboot let it marinate a bit. Let it load up the weather before you unlock it. While this particular method is for the weather screen, you can do this with the Friend stream, stocks or any other one you pick up. The overall method will be the same, file names will change. Over all this is simple for even the biggest of us noobs, so now take the time to enjoy your new custom lockscreen
Tips:
If youre having issues with the picture that you chose, thanks to Black00StangGT, theres a possible fix. Open up your image editor and change the color sync rgb profile to the generic rgb profile.

If youre still having issues and youve tried all other things, thanks to PrsnlCrcl, theres a possible fix. Before you save, zip align the apk. More on that HERE.
BIG THANKS TO CY_N_IC for this. He told me and I transcribed it. enjoy!
If youre wanting to make anything disappear from your lockscreen like the clock or date, try this out.
Find /system/apps/idlescreen_base.apk and open it in the m10 editor.
Once open navigate to Lockscreen_time.m10/0x0dc10c5e/lockscreen_time/timeline.time_fade/text.lockscreentime_ and where you see where it says Visible=1(bool) if you change this to 0 it will be hidden. You can do this with each of the items there.
Once you make the changes, go back and save it. Push with ADB or replace in a root explorer like normal. Reboot and enjoy.
Heres mine:

It may be slightly conservative but, I like it a sh1t load better than that grid thing. I also changed out the Dark Horse lock ring for one with a little more shine.

Does it have to be the idle weather apk? The weathers really in the way of the images right?
*WALK in the WORD*

I followed the instructions and when I reboot and boot up all the way, the weather doesn't show anymore. What I get instead is a black screen that will go back and forth between that and new background to lock screen. Thanks for the tuturiol hope you can offer some insight to get it to work for me.

Like I said in the last part, you can do this with any of the other lockscreens. Pick which one you want and swap the images. I havent tried this with other ones, but the principal behind it should be the same. As far as the weather being in the way, yeah it is a bit, but I knew that going into it. I just didnt want that boring ass grid background from before.

Try doing it again. Go step by step with it and it should work. It has worked for others. Not sure where youre having the issue though. If you do it again and still have issues, pm me and well see if we can get it figured out. I might add some screenshots to make it a bit clearer.

Eh, you dont really need the wallpaper one because you can set it inside of the personalize menu. The others you cant.

I think Im confused about which lock screen youre talking about then. Each of the four main lock screens has an image associated with them. The Weather one has the blue world grid one and Photo album has the grayish one. The wallpaper and clock ones I believe have the desktop wallpaper that you already have chosen on your desktop.. I may be wrong about the clock one though.

you are correct about the images.
This is my first.

Hey Mc. I was wondering if you've had any trouble with your weather locks misbehaving on the latest nightly? Since I flashed the 7/10, I can't run them. They come and go, alternating between black screen and lock screen. It works while its there but I have to catch it at the right moment. I've tried wiping, not wiping, known working lock screens, newly made lock screens, etc. The only one that works for me now is stock. Any guidance on this?

[Theme][LS] SlideScreen LS [Updated 12.20.11]

I'd love to get ahold of a copy of slidescreen. I haven't been able to find a working apk.

i love this lockscreen. so glad you made a thread about it!

i think you missed pressed and reached state image in this lockscreen, i see 2 png inside lock folder, also some "null" for some thing on ls . Just my idea

first of all thx for this lovely ls dbiliter
question:
is it possible to remove some infos like the calendar or the music out of the .xml?
i just need the call sms email info in it
and i dont like the colors, is it possible just to use the plain wallpaper?
if so, help please^^

This lockscreen is suppose to mimic slidescreen however there will be additional lockscreens that will be produced that will have similar information. This was made as a first of it's kind with previews for all. Now it is up to other themers and myself to make it better.

Not offended just telling you that the setup is going to remain the same. The updates would be more along the lines of clean up. I will have future lockscreens that will not have all this information... hopefully... if there is ever an update to the dinc miui.

This looks like a great idea. Do you know if there can ever be a cm7 port?

I don't know a lot about cm7, but I do know that Miui is based on cm7. However, I don't know of any plans for cm7 to include any of the Miui lockscreen capabilities. I would say there is about a 2 percent chance for this to be on cm7 and that would be if they are able to tweak milocker enough for it to work.

I cant for the life of me figure out why it wont install for me. i replace the lockscreen folder in the .mtz, rezip, rename to .mtz and theme manager installs it i assume because it vanishes from my sd card but it doesnt convert it nor does it show up in my lockscreen list. Anyone have any ideas or any help? Im running the latest Miui on my Thunderbolt. Vicious Miui ICS 5.0

After installing this LS i'm having constant soft reboot...I've disabled Juice Defender (takes up crazy amounts of processing power...) and overclocked my device to 1.15ghz with smartass. Also i put a screen off profile of 800 mhz conservative so that the lockscreen gets enough CPU power (smartass auto-adjusts if i'm correct so i needed a different governor). Hope this LS works for me. I really love the look I always wished Slidescreen could be used, but it wasn't working well as a launcher without an app drawer.

This is fantastic. The perfect lockscreen. Unfortunately I can't get this to work. I have the .mtz with the correct manifest on the phone, but the lockscreen just says null in all areas. Any ideas?
Thanks,
James

What version of Miui do you have? It must be at least version 1.12.9.

Try using opening the supplied .mtz with 7zip. Then just move the folder into the mtz by dragging it over.

I don't know what to tell you here. I was have a lot of reboots when I had mine overclocked without this lockscreen. After I put things back to normal I haven't had a problem with reboots.

now that you have a thread for this specific ls would it be possible to port it to qhd plz

The background of the various streams is transparent. Any way to get it a bit darker?
And the "null" in the calendar, what's that?
Right now, I've manually added a dark transparent layer over my background image and set that as a Lockscreen Wallpaper.
And it shows 22 unread mails? But Inbox is all read.

The theme wasn't really designed to be used with bright wallpapers. I would have to make a cover that would tone down any wallpaper which I know some people would not like.
You get null in the calendar if you do not have a scheduled, nonrepeating event. I am working on getting it fixed.
I know it shows read mail. As it says on the blog, there was no fix at the time of the release. It will be fixed with an update.

Calendar can fix like this :
<Image x="#unlocker_cal.move_dist+#screen_width-75" y="295" src="icon_calendar.png"/>
<Text visibility ="1-isnull(@cal_title1)" x="#unlocker_cal.move_dist+30" y="295" color="#FFf7fbfa" size="24" format="%s" paras="@cal_title1"/>
<!-- EDIT 2 LINES TO EVERY THING YOU WANT FOR NO EVENT -->
<Text visibility ="isnull(@cal_title1)" x="#unlocker_cal.move_dist+30" y="295" color="#FFf7fbfa" size="24" text="No Event Yet !"/>
<Text visibility ="isnull(@cal_title1)" x="#unlocker_cal.move_dist+30" y="320" w="250" marqueeSpeed="30" color="#FF979c98" format="%s" size="24" text="SOME WHERE "/>

hey!
first, great lockscreen, really like the idea!
i have tried change the time to 24h with kk:mm and i have removed all the "aa" strings that shows AM/PM on the screen ...
don't know why, but after change the time to kk:mm i always get ah FC when try applying the lookscreen with "process com.android.thememanager" closed
hmm ...
Edit: A reboot of the phone solved it, now its working!
