.ICO files to the folder named after your skin instead of the one named "default" *****

These are the files that are in the zip file:
bluetooth_off.ico
bluetooth_on.ico
devicelock.ico
display_off.ico
Files that are missing are:
WiFi_off.ico
WiFi_on.ico

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

These are nice. I didn't have a reason to upgrade to Battery Status 1.04 until you put out these icons...I see what i've been missing...Thanks!!

[LOCKSCREEN] Windows Phone 7-like Lockscreen

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.

"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

ENJOY!

Nice and clean. Installing now, great work!
Tapatalked from my SUpersonic...

This is actually amazing. If you could make one without the htc mark for non-htc phones that would be great Thanks

Nice. Mind if I borrow? I won't use it as a bootanimation, I'm trying different animations for the background of the notification pull down. You'll get credit in my theme thread of course
My only suggestion is maybe some faster bubbles with a little froth or smoke at the top?

Well since i have a HTC Desire i naturally added the Htc logo,but i'll make one without it in v1.1

Why is there no dl link? Is this a microsoft conspiracy? Looks great though, keep it up.

Dl links are at the bottom of the OP ,work fine.

Thanks looks great

1.1ish? I knew i wanted this animation, but i have an OG droid, no htc allowed! So i used GIMP + DBP Batch Processor (http : // members . ozemail . com . au /~hodsond /dbp.html -- no url's for new xda members i guess, sorry) and just cropped the image height down to 400, which dropped off the HTC.
zip attached
Thank you very much for the animation, looks awesome

[HOWTO] How to create a boot animation from a GIF

Hello, there. I'll be teaching you how to create a boot animation from a GIF image, the process is way simple! We'll be using the app ROM Toolbox, it's avaliable in Google Play. Actually I use the pro version, so I can't tell if using the lite version the result will be the same.

- GIF which will be transformed into boot animation;
Instructions
1. Put your desired GIF image in sdcard;
2. Open the ROM Toolbox app;

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Slide the tabs untill you come in Interface tab and choose the Boot animations option;
4. Slide to Local and find your GIF image;
5. Select your desired GIF image;
6. Select the GIF to Boot Animation option;
7. Now choose the path to save the animation and press OK. You can also change the FPS and the filename;
8. Now you just have to install and enjoy!

same here

I have downloaded some boot animations in the rom toolbox. Is it already good for flashing? I don't see any META file

Go to main menu which is tools click on root browser classic then go back to boot animations which should have loaded the storage permissions and then it should load with the local but for me I'm stuck on the "failed to create the boot animation" part I'm just trying to create a boot animation from GIF

Great, old days I used photoshop to do that! Now this tool saves me maximum time

{Guide} Make your own Bootscreen/shutdown animation

#Ever wondered if you can customize your Android phone's bootscreen just like you customize its theme? Not by downloading a custom bootscreen but by making your own...? Well, now you can.
Just 5 steps and your phone will be flashing your own custom made boot screen. But before we get der, lets have a look at the things you will need:
Requirements:-
> A video editor (I use Windows Movie Maker)
> A Video converter which supports Video to JPEG/PNG (I use EM Total Video Converter)
> A photo converter which supports batch converting( I use PhotoScape )
> Winrar
> Any video (You can download Video loops here OR here and also here)
> PATIENCE (Very important)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$teps:-
$tep 1:-
1) Edit your video (add text, effect etc..) and convert it to JPEG or PNG images (PNG is recommended).
my micromax 57 {Ninja A3 }takes around 10 secs to boot. So 300 Images are enough (if you have extra, den delete it. Max 400)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 2:-
2) If you have converted the video directly to PNG, then change the resolution of pics to 320x480. If JPEG, then convert the JPEG pics to PNG and change its resolution to 320x480)
(In photoscape>Batch Editor>Add pics>Crop the pics to 320x480 resolution>rename it to follow a series. for eg. Image001, Image002, Image003, Image004 etc.. See the following image)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 3:-
3) Now comes the easy task. Rename the folder in which you have all the converted pics from step 2 to "part0" without quotes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 4:-
4) Almost there. open notepad and add these lines:
Code:
320 480 29
p 1 0 part0
and save it as "desc.txt".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$tep 5:-
5) Last Step. Select both files (part0 folder and desc.txt) and right click>add to archive (Archive should be in zip)
Name it as : bootanimation.zip
Archive format: Zip
Compression method: Store
Ok.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Testing time. Put the bootanimation.zip file in system/media/(here). Do change the permission to 644.
OR
On cmd, type these codes (open cmd in .android folder and make sure you have your bootanimation.zip file in dis .android folder)
Code:
adb devices
(when it shows your device)
adb root
adb remount rw
adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/bootanimation.zip
adb shell chmod 644 system/media/bootaniamtion.zip
adb reboot
THATS IT...!!!!
