[MetaMorph] [Stericson's Lockscreen] Change Lockscreen Background

PLEASE DO A NANDROID BEFORE TRYING.
One of the things I’ve most liked about Hero was the ability to change the lockscreen background. I had an application named Lockbot from the Market, and though it’s a nice app, I found that it would drain my battery real quick. Plus, I would have random problems like the Notification Bar locking up and no SMS or Handcent pop-ups. I also really missed not being able to control my music like I could with the Stericson Lockscreen. So, I made a real quick and easy way to change the background using MetaMorph. It looks like a lot of steps, but once you get this set up, all you have to do is change 1 file, and you can change the background to anything you like. This is so easy, I don’t know why no one has posted this before.
Instructions:
Download Lockscreen-Background and unzip it. Put it in the AndroidThemes folder on your SD card. DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
Navigate through all the folders. framework-res> res> drawable
There you will find a picture named “zzlockscreenback.png”
Replace that picture with any png you like as long as it’s 320X455 and rename it to “zzlockscreenback.png”
1. Open MetaMorph
2. Click on “Existing Theme”
3. Navigate to folder named “AndroidThemes”
4. Click on folder named “Lockscreen-Background”
5. Put a check next to file named “Lockscreen-Background”
6. Click “Ok”
7. Click “Apply All”
8. Reboot your phone when prompted
9. Enjoy your new Lockscreen Background
Next time you want to change the wallpaper, just replace the “zzlockscreenback.png” to anything that you like, reapply the Metamorph, reboot, and you are all set.

I have included the background that is in the 3rd screenshot with my MetaMorph.
The theme I am using is djengizz's Alternative Eclair lockscreen cause I think it looks real nice. I made a slight mod to it and made the gray bar at the bottom completely transparent, and have included it in this post, if you want it.
You can get Stericson's Lockscreen here.
Special thanks to djengizz and Stericson as they have done all the work. I've just made slight changes.

It's working great for me. Thanks a lot, i've been looking for a way to do this for a while!

No problem. Glad to hear that you found it useful.

Would this work on dwang ROM?

It'll work if he's ported over the Stericson Lockscreen. Might also work on a stock rom without the lockscreen, but I haven't tested it. You might want to make a Nandroid before applying just in case.

it didnt work on mine...do i need to install The Stericson Lockscreen( dont know how to couldnt find any instructions)
i did exactly wat you said...still have the default locksreen

If you're using Cyanogen's rom, a link to the Stericson Lockscreen is provided in the first post. If you are using a different rom, you might need to ask the rom developer to compile the Stericson Lockscreen for their rom.
I'll see if there is something that can be done with the default vanilla lockscreen, but I am away from home and won't have a chance to look at it until later tonight.

you could try making the image toast_frame.9.png in framework-res.apk/res/drawable the sizing that you are using for the lockscreen image and see how that turns out, since that is the image that controls the default lockscreen.

well i went to his website and downloaded the "attachments_8_.zip Lockscreen for Cyan 4.1.11.1" but theres 5 files...android.policy.jar framework.jar services.jar framework-res.apk settings.apk ...what do i do with those files...do i just run framework.apk and settings.apk??

Once you have the Stericson Lockscreen file, you have to flash it in recovery. Once you flash it, it'll be installed. Once it's installed, you can flash my MetaMorphs. Remember, MetaMorphs are themes. You can't theme something that is not installed.

Thanks for the heads up David. From what I understand, .9.png images need to be edited using Eclipse, which I don't have, but it's worth a try if a brave soul wants to try it and report back. Just be sure you do a Nandroid first.

You need to flash the entire Zip file from the Stericson Lockscreen link in the OP. You would flash just like you would flash any rom. If you have questions or problems with that, read up on the directions and troubleshooting in the Stericson link. Just make sure you are flashing the correct lockscreen for your rom.

Looks like you unzipped the Stericson Lockscreen and didn't resign it. Redownload Stericson's Lockscreen again and flash it. Don't unzip it or mess with it. Once you have it on your phone, follow my instructions.

Here is the image:
Just rename to zzlockscreenback.png, put in the correct folder, and apply through MetaMorph.

I'm flashing the modded lockscreen using metamorph but its taking a long long time, its been going for like 20 minutes already and it still says please wait and the icon's still ticking round, the phones not frozen because i can pull the taskbar down, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Am i doing something wrong?
ps. have already flashed stericson screen and tried the background change, worked perfect, good job, just trying to get the modded screen now.

It shouldn't take that long to flash either of them. There are no changes to the framework, just the images, so you should be safe if you kill it with a task manager and retry it. Better yet, restart your phone and try it again. Hopefully that works for you.

METAMORPH!: Download Updated 7/28
You guys can say thanks to studjuice for this one!
Metamorph unfortunately doesn't play nice with flashing fonts so you can download the theme font in flashable form HERE!
Flashable Zips:
Froyo 2.2 will work for every phone except HD devices, unless there is a phone specific build below flash Froyo 2.2.
Flashing over CM6 RC2 will not guarantee results.. the newer builds of CM6 don't seem to take well to themes.. some report success others aren't so lucky. There is a full RC2 rom below if you must have RC2.
Froyo 2.2 Release 1.5 *FIXED*
Froyo 2.2 Release 1.0
Nexus One Froyo
Legend Froyo
You can thank Tamimego for the legend version, the zip is based off of Kyosa's Legend CM6 RC1
Problems flashing? try booting into fastboot and clearing the system "fastboot erase system -w" reflash your rom and the theme.This will fix any errors related to not enough system space such as framework not flashing or missing apps after flashing. ​
Instructions
In order for you to get results like the screenshots above you have to do the following.
Notification Bar: Change the text to white under Cyanogenmod settings in the settings menu.
Dock: Go to launcherpro preferences menu button then preferences go to appearance and change dock to glass.
Dock Notifications: In launcher pro go to preferences, dock dock settings and check the dock notifications.
Weather/News: Just add weather widget and then add the news widget via the widgets menu.
Digital Clock: Open app draw go to digital clock set the background to black and then add the widget 4x1 to home screen.
Wallpaper: Now defaulted is the blue wallpaper, if you want to change it to the black its in your wallpaper gallery.
The icons are from an iPhone/iPod Touch theme Suave

Looks alright, however it doesn't work. It flashes, but doesn't actually copy anything over.

Nothing mean at all,,
But you might want to clean up the .zip,,
You only need the files you actually changed for the theme to work,, Looks like you are trying to move the whole framework and app folder
But really nice theme

Thank you! I removed everything that was extra.. to be honest I didn't even realize I had half of that stuff sitting in there... I thought 30mb was a bit big for a theme zip lol.
Anyway Test 2 is up and its cleaned up should come in around 12mb.. let me know if you flash it and if its working!

NP Glad I could help

no changes after flashing

Tried to flash on my Desire with OpenDesire 2.0, only got boot-loop.

32a magic - ze theme, they do nothing!

Nothing happened when flashed

I'm looking into the flashing problem, for some its working and for others its clearly not.

I think the problem is every ROM is different in the fact that the devs edit files differently and flashing a .zip that is not specific to that ROM can cause issues. If you want to make a universal theme there are 2 options (3 if you're good with scripts)
1. Make a MetaMorph that just changes images
2. Make an version for every ROM you want to support
3. Make 1 update.zip that has a script to detect which ROM is installed. Downside to 3 is the files size might be pretty big.
If I'm wrong please correct me.

I've posted manual install files for those having trouble for rite now, I am however looking into metamorph options for this theme.

Awesome theme, only the power control widget and music widget need to be transparent as well to match the genie widget.

This theme looks great. But, I just tried to flash it, and it didn't change anything.

I'm hoping tonight I will be posting a much more complete theme, the transparent widgets are on the list of things to get done so check back tomorrow and hopefully it will be done and these flashing issues will be sorted out as well I have some people helping me figure it out.
Should I take out the blue bars or change them to something else to let you know its enabled?

Its somewhat a pre-alpha v.0.0001 version and a dead project. I quickly realized that I didnt have the patience to do an entire theme myself.
And it was just an flashable theme for the VanillaEclair ROM.

What theme are you talking about? The only thing I've seen anywhere before is a dock similar to the one I'm using but again mine is different from the ones I've seen.

[THEME] Massive *~BUUF~* For MDPI. Metamorph

So here it goes. After over 250 hours of copying, editing, resizing, renaming, putting things together and so on...
At long last it is ready. Buuf THEME finally for HERO devices.
The amount of work was massive.
For your OWN ease of application i have turned this into a Metamorph Theme. So you need to download Metamorph from the market (free).
SO! Here are the pictures.

- THIS REQUIRED ROOT ACCESS. For those that DON'T have root access, you can only apply the ADW launcher Theme.
- As you can see there is a lot of working going on through there. I tried to make it easiest to apply by creating this via metamorph. This means that WHENEVER an update for your rom comes, you dont have to wait for my update, you can just *simply* apply the metamorph zip and you'll have all your Apps buuf'ed. The only thing i couldn't metamorph yet was the framework-res file. I am planning to integrate that very soon, but at the mo', you're gonna have to apply a .zip via your recovery.
- Also, i am using ADW Launcher. There was a theme named ADW.buuf.theme in the market. That was not working with my rom causing many FC's, so i stripped it down, recreated it from scratch and added a ton of new app images. I have added a lot of default values that suited my liking (highlight color and so on). If you dont like those, simply change them via ADW Settings. ALSO, i have used some code from Eliotstocker to make this theme have some wallpapers. Simply change wallpaper and you should be greeted with a "Buuf Picker" option. In there i have included some of the best Buuf wallpapers.
- As you can see, I have applied a Circular Battery mod (credits to the creators). If you dont like it, simply go to the kitchen and create another mod. It is included in the framework-res.apk zip file
- I am using an edited font, extracted from the Galaxy S by Alex.
- I am also using LCD Density Changer. My setting is @ 139.
- Finally, i am attaching a small .zip file with the bootanimation i use (credit to the creator - sorry don't know who you are) with some amazing boot sequence back from the energy BIOS days, PLUS ad-free hosts, ridding you from the annoying ads.
ROMS
This is initially created for FroydVillain 1.5. The metamorph file should be applicable to ALL AOSP 2.2 Roms for ALL MDPI devices.
The only limitation at the moment is the lack of integration of the framework-res.apk file.
Instructions
1) Download Metamorph and install. Make sure you disable autokiller, in case it kills metamoprh while updating
2) Create a folder AndroidThemes in your SDCard and put the BuufMDPIApps.zip file in it. Apply.
3) Reboot to recovery and apply the framework.zip file
4) Download ADW Launcher and install my edited Buuf Theme. Go to ADW Settings, Theme Preferences, Load and apply.
5 - Optional) Apply fonts.zip via recovery - Credits to Alex
6 - Optional) Apply myboot.zip.
Caution: During the metamorph application of the theme, your phone is going to FC a lot, and sometimes ask for your pin. Please do apply the zip until it is totally done (if it stops, redo it), dont let your phone sleep, and please interact with the FC/SIM lock screens.
Uninstallation
Simply flash your ROM zip file on top. No wipe needed.

Donation
- This complete theme pack wasn't created for money. It was created to make the Buuf Theme live on for the MDPI Devices. All credits are due to the people stated above.
- However, i have put into this over 250+ hours of work. And for those of you who have never themed, well all i can say it was really a pain.

- If you like it, please let me know.

Changelog
19 Sept 2010 v1.2.1 - Initial Release
Requests
Requests for unthemed apps are welcome. Glitches and FC's, as long as distortions, should also be reported. If you wish to have your app icon changed in ADW Drawer, give me the app name, or even better the activity name (check it out via adb logcat, while launching the app) and let me know what kind of icon you want.

This as AWESOME Because you've done so much work on this also i reccomend you put it in the legend,eris and Hero CDMA forums because it should work on all those devices to Thats if you havent already

Once i get rid of the framework-res problem with metamorph i will post it under Android themes, and separately to MDPI Devices.
Thanks for the comments

hi!
the theme is looking great,awesome work!!
but i get an error when i try to extract framework-res file from recovery,i get an error that the file is corrupt or something like that...what could be the problem?
thanks!

Very good job !!
It works perfectly on Froydvillain 1.5
Just one question : what is your clock&weather widget on the screenshots ?

I am terribly sorry, i think i've put an unsigned framework-res.apk file. I shall update soon.
My clock is Beautiful widgets, with the ANDRODena_Buff clock skin and EmotiSun Weather skin.
edit. I updated the framework-res.apk file, although i doubt it was unsigned, on a second note. Perhaps your download was corrupted. Redownload and let me know please
PS. Thanks for the nice comments guys.

framework-res.apk is a system apk and does not need to be signed

I applied the first framework.zip without any problem. (in recovery mode)

My particular framework-res.apk is modified. It includes the circular battery mod, which not only changes png's, but also adds a few xml files. So yes it does indeed need to be signed. The apk itself cannot, but the .zip needs to be signed with test keys, allowing for the modified framework-res.apk to be extractable and allowing recovery to apply it.

Why were you reffering to the apk before then? Anyways doesn't matter

Looks great, I will be installing on my lunch break
One question - what difference does the LCD Density app make, and why choose the density you have ?

@shields - try to manually update the rest of the apk's. My phone rebooted as well on Gmail.apk. perhaps you have autokiller running or something. Choose Apply existing theme, select the xml file, and manually update the rest apk's
@furrypotato The difference LCD Density app does is that it makes the screen look like a higher resolution one. For example, i can fit 5x5 (columns x rows) instead of the classic 4x4 MDPI devices have. My setting is just something i have found to work fine, and dont have too many scale issues with my apps.

Installed it and loving it.
A very different theme for me to use that's a refreshing change
Thanks

Thanks for the nice comments.
Please feel free to propose any new features.

Whats the best method of adding custom icons ?
I only had a few minutes to look before I left for work but I took a look on Buuf website and found an icon I'd like to use for Tweetdeck. (Fauna #13)
Now I'm guessing I can amend the xml file in the zip in some way and place the icon.png file in folders like the others, but is there an easy way of doing it ?
I even bought beatiful widgets cos I love the themes so much
Oh, and I updated to the new Gmail last night and it's broken some of the gmail graphics such as notfication of emails.

There's no way of adding custom icons yourself. That's how i tried to do it as well. But it doesn't work. You have to create the APK from the beginning, and thats what i had to do. Took me nearly 3 days of non-stop work to remake it.
I, unlike the original creator, will intent to update the icons when asked. So let me know what icon you want for what app, give me the activity name if you have it and i will update it.
I haven't had an eye on the new gmail (as a matter of fact i didnt even know it existed). I will look at those on the weekend, as the following two days i'm taking 3 exams and my head's about to explode.
Let me know though.

Cool thanks.
I'm looking to get the attached icon added to TweetDeck Beta . Dont know activity name sorry (Whats best way of getting it)
Tweetdeck beta in case you need it :

New Gmail is downloadable in market by the way.

friggan brilliant man, many, many, many kudos.

[Theme][MetaMorph] Minimal White (1/29/11)

Theme created to be used by MetaMorph, please don't try to flash the file. The .zip is attached to the post.
(TL;DR)
I was trying to make a minimalistic theme for my phone without modding anything, but those green Gingerbread icons were cramping my style. So I went and made these simple manual modifications for just myself, because, surprisingly, I found them nowhere else online, so I'm releasing them packaged so they can be applied using MetaMorph.
I realize that the world does not in fact revolve around me, and that you guys use different applications/do different things, so that's why I intend to keep this "updated". Please request any icons and I will make them and add them in updates.
(/TL;DR)
(READ, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT)
I've only used this package on Serendipity 4.3, but the icon files should be universal, however I will not make any promises. If you're brave enough, please test this on your phone and get back to me. I'll keep a list of compatible phones in the second post as well.
Also note that the LauncherPro dock and icons are not currently packaged with this theme. When I get to it (sometime later today/tomorrow), I will upload another zip with anything necessary for LauncherPro.
Same goes for my lockscreen. I'm using a modded WidgetLocker, and I will upload the files sometime later today or tomorrow, but I will not upload the APK, as it's a paid app.
I'll write up a tutorial on how to mod WidgetLocker in the third post.
(/r,yldoi)
The changelog can be found in the second post!
Currently themed:
Gmail (status icons only)
framework-res (most icons in status bar)
Vending (status icons only)
Here's a screenshot (more to come in later versions):
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Thank you to designgears, MikeyMike01, and ChanceM.

Changelog
Currently known to work on...

v1.1 (1/29/11)
Same as v1.0 with 'Extras' folder; includes:
Widget Locker Images
LauncherPro Dock
LauncherPro Launcher Icons
Wallpaper
Font
v1.0 (1/29/11)
Released!

Tutorials
When you download the file, unzip it. It is not the MetaMorph zip, but it has the MetaMorph zip inside of it (MetaMorph zip folder).
Steps to do things:
Install font
Install MinimalisticText Widget
Install/customize LauncherPro
Install/customize WidgetLocker
Apply MetaMorph Theme
1. Install Font
The font.zip file is included in the Extras folder. Copy that to the root of your SD card any way you want...
1. ADB (Assuming you're on Unix based OS, if not, replace commands as necessary)
1. $ cd ~/[font.zip directory]/
2. $ adb push font.zip /sdcard/font.zip​2. Mount SD Card to Computer
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. If not, 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Development' > 'USB debugging'
2. Right click/copy font.zip to root of the phone's internal SD card.​After font.zip is on your phone, boot into Clockwork Recovery and apply the zip file. Once that's done, reboot. Your font should be changed.​
2. Install MinimalisticText Widget
This one is easy. Go to the Market and download MinimalisticText. Then create the widgets that I have using it. I will not walk you through how to create widgets with MinimalisticText, as it's too complicated to type up. Trust me, you'll figure it out.​
3. Install/customize LauncherPro
If you do not already have LauncherPro installed, please do so now...
Once installed, put the LauncherPro dock and launcher icons inside of the DCIM folder on your internal SD card. You may also put the provided wallpaper there if you'd like to use it.
Editing the dock image:
On the home screen, press 'Preferences', then 'Appearance Settings'. 'Dock background' is the first option; select it.
Select 'Custom' and find the custom dock image. That's it!​Assigning custom launcher icons:
Long press the space on the dock that you would like to change. Then select 'Change shortcut' and change it to what action you would like completed. Then select 'Change icon', and select 'Custom icon'. Browse to the icon you'd like to use and select it. Your done!​
PS: To make the arrow on the left open the app drawer, long press it and press 'Change shortcut' and select 'App Drawer'.​
4. Install/customize WidgetLocker
This is a bit more in-depth. There's a perfect tutorial in this thread. The only thing that you must do is after you compile and sign the APK, uninstall WidgetLocker from your phone, then instead of putting 'com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk' in the /data/app/ folder, put it into /system/app. Otherwise, if you reboot your phone, it will disappear.​
5. Apply MetaMorph Theme
This one should be a given. Download and install MetaMorph, push the 'minimal-white.zip' to /sdcard/AndroidThemes, open MetaMorph and select the zip file as a new theme, then apply it. Be sure to apply framework-res.apk last! otherwise your phone may not install the other mods.​
More to come soon, probably

The Framework.apk theme worked on Cog 3.04. Didn't try the rest of the them, just wanted the white status bar items.
Thanks, looks good.

That was the main reason I made this when it was for myself; glad you like it! Will add Cog to the list ~

couldn't get it to take on firefly, but it'd be awesome if it did ...

everytime i use metamorph something happens and i get put into a bootloop. i've given up on metamorph and start theming my own via 7-zip and root explorer.

Any word on the newer serendipity versions? I have this theme running on 4.3 like you stated in the first post and I love it, but I'm going to update to 5.7 and would like to know if anyone has tried it

Sorry I stopped/never did really update this; I don't really have the time.
But to answer your question: yes! It should work on any Serendipity versions. I'm not currently running the theme, and have lost interest in using it, so I'm not going to flash it over my Serendipity 5.7.
Anyway, one thing that may help you realize that this will work: unlike CWM themes, this one only replaces/adds files that are going to be changed. If the file isn't changed, then it will not replace it. By that, I don't mean that it will replace framework-res.apk. I mean that it will only replace the files inside framework-res.apk, so if there's anything that Mikey added (for example, the rotary lockscreen), it won't be touched. Only the themed icons will be changed. Hope that makes sense

dowloading this theme!!! looks sick

screenshots are broken.

Alright thanks man. I tried it on serendipity 5.7 and its working just as it did on 4.3, and looks just as cool. Since it looks like your pictures on the first page arent working, here's what the status bar looks like, which is the only file I flashed, for anyone interested. Goes great with all the white on my homescreen.

bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource are SYMLINKS to the actual files in /data/local. This was done to make modification easier. So you should be replacing the files in /data/local instead of overwriting the symlinks.
Edit:
Actually, I don't know what would happen if you flashed this in recovery without the /data partition mounted... would it overwrite the symlinks or just fail??

Nice! (10char)

It overwrites in /system.
I just tried changing the one on my phone in /data/local back to the original from v2 but the changes didn't take effect. I originally thought the /data/local one was the one to change since the only boot animation in the zipped ROM is located there. However, when I was testing these it never changed until I updated the one in /system.

I dont know if you make these or not.. but could you possibly make one for Dolphin so it doesnt load up the standard browser?
Thanks!!!

These are just the icons. To get Rosie to load a different app, go to Rosie Settings in your app drawer and select Dolphin from there.

Strange. I just tried all of them again on my phone and everyone worked.
Has anyone else flashed a boot animation and it not work?

Bump for new goodies.

Just lost my themed market today. Running VR1b3 for days now with no problems. Did nothing today except download Switchpro and reboot. Bammmm, there went themed VR market. Any possible chance for a Themed VR market Zip Fix?
Great job by the way. Appreciate all the work you boys do.

I lost my again today. But this time, when I looked at my apps in the market, only 6 of the 80 something showed up. The rest, according to the market, were not installed. Had to re-download all of them again to get them to show up.
I mess around with the newest market for an hour of so but couldn't get anything working. Half the time when I installed in on the phone, market would disappear from the app drawer and the other half it would be there but force close when opened. On two occasions, I opened it and it was themed on version 2.3.6, but the next time I open it it would be back to normal. I have no idea what was going on there. I eventually gave up and decided to wait for Virus to release an update. I might mess around some more later if I have the time but it's such a nice day it's time to get outside. Looks like some disc golf is in order.

Thanks for the update and thanks for taking the time to look into it. I definately understand where we're at now with the themed market.
Did I hear Disc golf? Very nice man, Great way to unwind.

Thanks. But not my ROM, XxXViRuSXxX's ROM. He deserves the credit. I'm merely altering what he's already done to make it more personal if you will.

I lost my themed market on the blue epidemic theme and went into settings, manage applications, found market, hit uninstall updates and the themed market came back. Might help on this theme too.
