Okay, I really wanted to get the WinPhone7 lockscreen for Android, but no one has made an app for that yet...so I got experimental with Minimal Text Widget + Desktop VisualizeR. Please note that this is not an exact look-alike and does not behave like WP7's lockscreen. This does not bounce.

Requirements:
-WidgetLocker - $1.99 USD - Market
-Minimalist Text App - Free - Market
-APKManager - Free - Link
-Root Explorer - $3.93 USD - Market
-Custom iPhone Slider/Background (Made by me) - Free - Download Attachment Below
Let's get started.
---
Step 1. Open up Root Explorer. Navigate to data/app and find "com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk". Do a long press and copy to your SD card.
2. Transfer WidgetLocker to your computer. Place WL's APK anywhere you desire. Do not close this window.
3. Open up APKManager RAR and extract all of the files to a folder. Anywhere you desire.
4. Open up the APKManager folder you just made. Open up "place-apk-here-for-modding". Back to WL's APK location, drag WidgetLocker's APK to "place-apk-here-for-modding" inside of the APKManager folder.
5. Back in the root of APKManager folder, double-click "Script".
6. Choose option #22 (Set current project) by typing "22", and then #1, then #1 (Extract APK) again. Do not close this window.
7. In APKManager's root folder, open up "projects". Navigate to com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk/res/drawable-hdpi. It does not matter what screen your are, just open it.
8. Find "slider_iphone" and "slider_iphone_background". Delete those two files and replace them with the modded ones.
9. Open up Script again. Choose option #3 (ZIP APK), and then select Regular ZIP. Once that is done ZIPing up, choose option #4 (Sign APK).
10. In the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding", there should be a new APK called "signedcom.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk". Put that on your SD card. Install the new WidgetLocker on your phone.
---
Lockscreen Time!
1. Once installed, goto Tool Mode by launching WidgetLocker manually. Then navigate to Menu/Settings/Look & Feel/Slider & Layout. Choose iPhone Slider.
2. Now goto Menu/Add. Choose Minimalist Text, and then the 4x2 option. That seems to work best.
3. Uncheck Show Background. Then goto "Horizontal Block" and "Horizontal Text" and make them both "Left". Then goto Predefined Layout > Custom... Then make your layout like below.
[Hour (12h)] [Static text- ":"] [Minute (2 digits)]
[Day of week]
[Month text] [Static text " "] [Day]
P.S. The "Static text" for Layer 1 is just a colon and the one on Layer 2 is a space.
Now add a Static text in the very front for all of the rows. Now for each Static text, add 3 spaces.
---
4. Once you're done with the layout, press Back until your at the Main Menu. Goto Text Style and make all of them
Font family: Default
Bold: Uncheckd
Italic: Unchecked
Size: 45 dip
Case: Normal
Color: White (#ffffff)
(Leave the rest under Color unchanged.)
When you're done filling the first one out, just go back and do the second and third ones.
When you're with those, press OK. There you have it!
Question and comments go below. Rate, comment, and subscribe!
You don't actually need Root Explorer.
Just use the SDK to pull the .apk
^^ That too
Don't quite understand why this has a separate thread...just throw it in the widgetlocker mods thread.
Don't quite understand how this mimics WP7? Looks like a custom background, with a text widget and a WidgetLocker mod. You can't slide up the whole picture like on WP7.

What do you think about this? There are MANY elements that can be changed in SMS/mail forms, since they are html - based ones...

The bg images can be independently changed for write and read of messages...
Edit:
There is a test bg included as an attachment - only the background is changed in SMS window. You can replace the default image, it is \windows\sms_bg.gif
You can modify the fonts, etc by editing \windows\read_style2.css and \windows\compose_style2.css
\Windows\compose_sms is the file....
Really?
read_sms.html also. As well as compose_style.css and read_style.css
yea XD

Hi
I have tried this,
Copied the file to PC editted them and when i copied them back I get the 'Access is denied' Error message,
I think those files a protected & Hidden system files when on PC, any way of getting around this?
Yes, yes - bgproperties, not bgproperies
You should REPLACE the < body > tag with < body background="file://\image.gif" bgproperties="fixed" >
Use Total Commander ON your PPC to change attributes (un-check read-only)
i have tried that, but the attribute is re-ticked when the properties are shown again.
Need Your Help
Hi _TB_TB_, can you tell me what software for edit read_sms file? I use internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox to open it but I can't edit the content. Or maybe you can send me UR read_sms and compose_sms files that U have edit. Thanks for ur kindness
1. Extract all files in the packed attachment below to your SD Card,
2. Then use Windows Explore or Resco Explore copy them to Windows directory on your device.
3. There will be some notifications that "...blablabla... might damage your windows" Pass over it, tap on OverWrite.
4. Return to your SMS Inbox, you'll see......
This trick is a nice addition to all those WisBar skins, etc
Use Notepad to edit HTML files
hm, did U notice, that after removing the scrollbars, some text on the right side is cut?
There is? I did not notice that yet. Maybe it would be enough to edit the richedit a little... I'll give it a try, but some screenshots with cut text would be useful

Mine are called:

...but you're right, I forgot to include them in the original zip... so here they are!

Okay guys, I need your help on this one.
As you know, I've already made some black and gingerbread themes, but they all have one problem: the goddamn quick settings icons on the LG header stays white.
This is what I'm talking about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, I've found the things that needed to be changed for the icons themselves.
However, I can't find the background and I'm also short on time; thus asking you all for help.
Basically, the best I could do was:
But the image or xml entry must be there somewhere.
So the objective is, start changing whatever image you find until we get it black.
For this, I'll make available a metamorph script.
Instructions:
You'll need metamorph application and this zip.
Now,
1. Extract zip to some folder on your PC
2. Change images you want to test (use paint or something)
3. When you're done editing, add everything to a .zip (with no compression - store only) called LGT.zip
(must have the same structure as the one you downloaded before)
4. Plug your phone to PC and toggle usb connect
5. Drag the edited LGT.zip to the root of your sdcard and unplug
6. Run Metamorph (you need root+busybox)
7. Pick extract zip, go to the root of your sdcard and choose LGT.zip
(in case it asks, choose replace)
8. Pick apply theme and wait until it's done
9. Reboot
10. Check if background is different
If not, repeat the whole process and try to edit another image.
That's it.
If anyone finds the responsible file, please post here.
Thanks!
Not sure I understand you correctly. Are you asking to find the icons used as quick settings knobs?
Here they are (after examining the zip-file you provide):
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\bt_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\bt_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\gps_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\gps_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_alwaysask_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_disable_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\network_enable_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_mute_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_on_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\sound_vibration_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\wifi_off_normal.png"
"LGT\lge-res\res\drawable\wifi_on_normal.png"
I'm not including the orange _pressed_ icons, as they should not be colored in black.
I was not performing your tests, but these icons are the _only_ icons in your zip-file which can be used as quick settings knobs. Please, excuse me if I don't understand your initial request.
He needs background of those icons.
Icons were easy to spot but background picture can be a few.
Im trying now and see if i succed.
Yep, only the background
Here are two similar threads which may help (I hope!):

I managed to replicate what you did with buttons.
I also numbered everything what could be grey/silver background or tab and then applied so i would know which is.
There is no such picture in that file.
So its either in xml (from what i saw none contains color information) or its in some other file.
Im using void so maybe voids theme overwrites it? But it worked for buttons so i dont know.
If there is any more picture files or if you can release void pictures so i could compare.
Something is weird... I put numbers on pictures and none showed up on any of voids theme... i didnt tried with little buttons tho.
I hope it helps anything even i didnt provide any info.
done

You have to edit services.jar
There's a post about it around here somewhere in xda.
Can't you upload lge-res.apk so we can push it ? Or maybe a flashable one ?
P.S: Please check your PM. I've sent you one regarding white text on notification bar.

Hi.
This is tutorial "how to make themes to QQLauncher". It's pretty easy
What you need:
- Android 1.5+ phone
- QQLauncher
- 7-Zip
- Notepad++
- Photoshop, GIMP or whatever you like for resizing pngs
-----------------------------------
1. First you need to install QQLauncher (like a normal app).
2. Then download theme from online gallery (follow menu button -> Theme -> Theme gallery -> choose one of themes, i.e. "复古印象"), but don't apply it!
3. Now connect your phone to computer and navigate to "sdcard/QQLauncher". You need to copy "log.log" file and theme (with strange chinesse name) from "theme" folder to your desktop.
4. Open your "log.log" file with Notepad++ and you'll see lines like these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- in blue square there is app name
- in yellow app package name (like in "data/app")
- in red app activity name - we need this to name icon
5. Find icon which you want to add (if you need to resize it, there are recommended sizes <because QQLauncher doesn't support icon scalling>: for HDPI 86x86 to 90x90 and MDPI 53x53 to 65x65) and rename it to this "com.cih.gamecih2.gamecih" (you need to write all name in lowercase, otherwise it won't work!)
6. Open your theme file with 7-Zip and copy icon to "icons" folder.
7. If you want to have other dockbar background, you need to replace "dock_bg.png" file in "icons" folder.
8. If you want to have other app background for apps without definied icons, you need to replace "appbackground.png" file in "icons" folder.
9. Copy your theme file to "sdcard/QQLauncher/theme" and apply it in Theme gallery
----------------------------
If you have any questions or suggestions to this tutorial, just write me on PM
Amazing !! Thx a lot, i'll try this week end.
Thanks!
8.1 if you wanna change folder icon put image called folder.png
Okay, i want to theme the ChompSMS icon, so i just isntalled it, but in the log.log file, I cant even find chompsms, so what should i do. Ill attach my log.log file
Hmmm, I don't see it in your log file. Try to find apk file in "data/app" and then search for it in log
Nexus Prime - Tapatalk
@supetawesomedude you said you just installed it, you have to reboot after install to update log, so just reboot then browse your log
@supetawesomedude, just delete log.log file and then restart launcher, I will generate with these app you have got

Not working for me
Anyone mind taking a stab at making a theme using the icons (with permission from teh OP) from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225629
What the hell, I've added many icons to my own personal theme and I have correctly named, replaced, resized, compressed, and then I renamed the zip file to 圆润有爱 and then placed in the qqlauncher. then i try to apply it, and it gives my some kind of error in chinse. I have no idea what to do, ill attach my 圆润有爱.zip as a link to mediafire. http://www.mediafire.com/?693bt619sdg4iq9
You've choosen another theme you are working on NOW first?
So apply other theme, mount USB, put file in QQlauncher/theme
and then unmount USB, go to themes and apply the new one?
Or?
