[Q] Attempting to mod the lockscreen - issues - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been wanting to have a AOSP/Vanilla type lockscreen on my HTC for some time now.
In the process of doing this, I have tried alternatives:
WidgetLocker
The MOD listed here
Neither have worked. WidgetLocker works half of the time, and then the other half doesn't show up as the primary locker. I have set the Root 5 second override option, but that appears todo nothing.
As far as the mod, if just causes my phone to forceclose and I can't do ANYTHING when I turn it on.
How would I go about just editing the lockscreen through adb? Doing it correctly, and not causing force-close, after force-close.

If your talking about the cyanogen or froyo lock screen and your on sense I know you can go into root explorer and delete the HTC lockscreen apk if the rom is deodexed and you'll get the normal froyo lock screen that's what I did on nfinites froyo sense rom and it worked fine

The ROM isn't deodexed. It is the stock Sprint ROM without any updates.
I may look into other rom's in the future, but for now, I just want to work on this with the stock rom.
Even though it may not be deodexed, where is HTC's lockscreen files located?

I'm not sure if it will work on stock I just know that work on any deodexed sense rom

I am not quite sure how you did that.
It doesn't work on Stock, or a Deodexed rom.
If I use ADB, Astro, or ES File Explorer.

Yes it does if you go to root explorer system apps and delete HTC lockscreen it'll go to the normal one at least that's how it was on the froyo sense rom so do it at your own risk your on stock

Yes. It was included in my older ROMs but I have left it out as I have had no lick getting the Samsung widgets to work. The Android widgets still work fine with it, though.

Stock Android unlockscreen

Is it possible, after rooting, to get the stock Android unlockscreen?
not development moved to general
Just install "Widgetlocker" from market
You can customize it to look exact like stock lockscreen or with moer features
I use "Goto lockscreen" though

Is there any lag using widgetlocker? been tempted before but thought it might create some lag.
Fairly sure soon there will be a .zip file that will be available for the stock lockscreen or when we get an AOSP ROM the stock lockscreen will be included.

Haven't experienced any lag with DHD using widgetlocker...
but the alternative, would be to remove the LG lockscreen on a rooted phone and push stock lockscreen instead... should be possible already now, but haven't tried it... Guess I'll just wait a few days for custom ROM instead
Widgetlocker or GOTO lockscreen is the easiest alternative right now

[Q] Lockscreen shortcuts not working on Sense 3.5

Hi!
I recently flashed my IncS with Ehab's latest ROM v1.2a including Sense 3.5 (questions goes here, not into thread because I'm new here...). In order to restore my settings and a number of apps I used TitaniumBackup Pro and backupped user apps and most system apps and settings. Restore went smoothly after flashing.
I very much liked the idea to have some shortcuts on the lockscreen - but although I activated them in the settings they won't show up.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to solve it?
I had that problem when I flashed my first sense 3 ROM. But it was because I deleted something I shouldn't have. So probably you messed something up restoring a system app that doesn't belong in sense 3,5.
I had to reflash the ROM to get it to work

Ported Samsung Touchwiz ClockPackage.apk v2.4 working on ICS and JB

TouchWiz Stock Clock app
***New Update 22th September 2012***
This is a ported touchwiz clock from the Samsung stock roms. It is tested and working on ICS roms and most Jelly Bean roms. This app has been tested in 240dpi (as it is designed for) and 210dpi, tested in English and French. Any graphical problems you might experience are a direct result to changing the dpi, I will not be accepting requests to change the visual layout of the app because as it is it is completely stock and working perfectly for 240dpi (the intended dpi for this phone)
This app is fully functional except for;
1. the map for the world clock (the world clock is working thought)
2. the popup notification notification that tells you your alarm will go off in X hours and X minutes
3. the color of what you have selected in the snooze options (you will be able to see what is selected in the main alarm screen
apart from these minor details everything else is working. Please do not post to tell me about these things, I already know.
I have added languages from all app versions that I could get my hands on. All the usual languages are included, I have recently included Hebrew and Arabic? as requested. If your language is not supported please tell me, and if possible send me a clockpackage.apk from a stock rom with your language (one that you are sure your language is included in)
This clock app is SGS3 themed where possible. See screenshots below.
I have also included a v2.4 +extras zip, this includes the Samsung digital clock widget (SGS3 themed), the Samsung Accuweather widget with transparent background, the Samsung memo app, and ThinkFree Office app.
If you dont want these extras please use the other zip - v2.4
If I have helped you at all, please hit the thanks button
or feel free to buy me a beer / donate
Please test it before you use it!
I will not be held responsible for people who wake up late and lose their job, or miss a flight, etc.
I wont be held responsible for people bricking their phones by doing dumb stuff, just follow the instructions.
Instructions
Copy to zip file to phone SDcard, reboot into CWM and flash, reboot, enjoy
If you are using a previous version of this clock apk please --> backup and delete the old file (HybridTWClock******.apk) from your /system/app folder and then install the new zip in CWM
If you are using CM9 or CM10 or a rom that already has a clock app (deskclock.apk), please note that you do not need to delete the existing clock app for this one to work, - but if you do delete the existing deskclock.apk this one will still work as a stand alone clock

Ok, so you mean it didn't work then?
What about if you push the files across manually? (with root explorer or super manager or something)

Cool,
no there's no widget with this app, its just the stock clock from i9000, you might be able to try the 'digitalclock.apk' widget which comes with stock sgs2
http://www.mediafire.com/?b41y76589gw8zv6
I'm not sure if it will work though, I think it needs to be ported too..
I don't use that though, I prefer beautiful widget's superclock, it's the same but with the weather in the same space (same size widget)
Oww...and it looks like crap in landscape. ... but its nice that it has the timer. I use it sometimes in the kitchen. Hehe. You guys know other ported cool apps ?

These are all touchwiz apps ported for cm7/9. If you want any of them, you can either ask me to put them in flashable zips, or...
do it yourself by placing that apk in my flashable zip in the OP
Hey, sorry I haven't been back to this post for a while...
I've updated the OP with a new version which fixed the graphical problems of the previous versions, I've also added languages and other things. I have also included a ported version of the Samsung Galaxy 'My Files' app, this will let you choose your own mp3 or other sounds files for alarm tones.
Can someone please test it for me? as I don't have a Nexus S..
Thanks

for the extras pack, you will need to make sure that you have enough space on the phone too, I am using cm10 and I had to delete some stuff to make space, I deleted the trebuchet launcher and the latinIME keyboard, as I use apex launcher and swype keyboard which take up much less space, that way I was able to free up some more space

Can you see them in the /system/app folder?
Are they the right size files? I mean the same size files as you see in the zip?
If that is the case maybe they aren't working on the Nexus S, I can't see why not though, it is basically the same phone as the i9000 and the touchwiz dependencies are removed too

Yes, it should work on any phone.
If the CWM zip file doesn't work for you you can install the files manually to where they need to be in the /system/app and /system/media folders and then fix permissions and reboot.
However the screen layout is setup for 240dpi phones, I am running it on my i9000 under 210dpi and it works fine too. Let me know how it goes?
OK I'm using the sensation as you can see I'll let you know

LockScreen Sense

Hello all !
Just a question about the lockscreen. Since android 4.2.2, you can add widget on lock screen but with Sense it's impossible. Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen of sense?
Thanks!
You can probably find an AOSP Lockscreen and flash it. Several custom ROMs give you that option in the AROMA installer, including TrickDroid, RGUI and Viper ROM. Some of them require you to download an extra flashable zip file called "Tweaks", such as the case in TrickDroid.
This does not allow the use of widgets though. It's just the AOSP lockscreen striped dry, with only the time and date, and unlock button.

Ah I am sorry I thought it did. There are several third party lockscreens on PlayStore and I believe the most popular is Lock Screen Widget by droid-maniacom.

No it doesn't work when I try to install this kind of lockscreen. I've try to use this one but it's not working
