[Request] "Sliding up" lockscreen - Android Themes

Hi developpers ! I don't have any skills in developping apps or whatever, but I was just wondering if it was possible to theme a lockscreen like the "minimal Android Lockscreen" by bblake on deviantart (sorry i'm not able to post links already)
We would be able to see our dock's icons and it would be a windows phone-like lockscreen, wich you slide up to unlock, and it would reveal progressively our homescreen.
I'm just asking if it's possible, and if it is, how?
Ps: Sorry for my english, i'm from France

Widgetlocker.

Yeah, but i looked for a widgetlocker theme like this and didn't find it.. It would be very nice if you suggested me one, if it's not asking to much

I would love this theme. I'm running an Eris with KaosFroyo v35-1. This would be freaking sweet!
I will make some adw themes this week so you use it on your Eris
Awesome, but I know a lot of users over in the Eris forums that prefer LauncherPro. Not sure if that's a hassle....

I want... I can has? beam me up you scottish drunk.
I'd love to see this as an official theme. I wear my Weird Al "White and Nerdy" hoodie around all the time....might as well have the phone to match ;-)!
How about a link for us in this forum so we won't have to register at another forum so we can download the files?

Home launcher look out

I've been looking to find this launcher that I've watched on YouTube forever ago, in which I can not remember the name, to describe it, the launchers homescreen is some what minimalistic and doesn't show the status bar, when you swipe to the other homescreen it shows the weather with cloudy scene( on what I've seen). Im sorry that's all I could remember .
If anyone here knows what im talking please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Many launchers have the ability to hide the status bar and as for the weather, it could have possibly been a widget. So what I'm saying here is that this information doesn't help at all.
"the launchers homescreen is some what minimalistic"
You mean the wallpaper? Or a combination or widgets and shortcuts?
The user can customize the homescreen as he/she wants so...it's impossible to find that launcher.
Nvm. I found it
Here it is

Android Home/UI replacement

Hi guys,
Hope all of you are well.
So I'm back after a two year break from iOs to Android.
As I was browsing through the internet and try to look if there are any new alternatives to sweeter home I really couldn't get wiser out of all the information. So before I will start building themes again I was wondering if anyone knows what the top theme alternative apps for the moment are (2012-2013) and would like to share that with me.
In the past I have made some themes on sweeter home like these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOIopL7bbi4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOCowHO65c
But that was in the very beginning of the mobile Android platform and there were not many options to customizing your home screen.
So hereby my humble request to some information in the right direction.
With kind regards,
DizzyDix

Wow, uccw is deffinitly something I was looking for.
Seems like a very powerfull app and one could modify every aspect of their UI.
Thank you for your reply!
Uccw is amazing.. don't forget about widget locker.

the fact that you can even save them in uccw.. its great.. used sweeterhome once..but the setting for the setup isnt yet perfect..hard to use for me.. hope to see your work soon..

I believe the top two launcher apps right now are apex and nova. And the apps that have already been named above are amazing for customization.

Great news
Wow guys,
This is wonderful, thank you all for the input.
I think you have helped me a long way now with all this info.
I was really stunned by the uccw app, because of its possibilities.
But I will surely check out all apps.
I was kind of disappointed yesterday when I found out my S3 has no scrolling wallpaper function, so they force me again to make my own UI.
And because I dont like using ROM's I rather work with a launcher app/home screen replacement.
While browsing I have seen many good functional and good looking themes, so it is really a challenge for me to bring something out.
First I will play around with android and hopefully start theme'ing after a while.
Wish you all a good day.
Cheers
Dizzy
go for apex as your launcher..

Launcher/ Home replacement
Hi all,
There has been some mix up, I think because of me.
I get a lot of input from you guys and that is totally cool, never expected that but your info is by far great nice to see the xda community being so helpful.
The mixup:
I don't think I am looking for a "launcher app".
I'm looking for a skin app which lets me change every aspect of the android UI, in this case TouchWiz.
So let's say we have Touchwiz with bottom bar where the apps icon always is outlined on the right and we have the home screen with the status bar etc.
What I want to do is: replace all elements of the TouchWiz. So for example that my homescreen will look like the Mac Os Lion interface on a mac or like the Windows 8 interface on a laptop.
The only app which lets me do that (that I know of) is SweeterHome, but I can't find sweeterhome in the market anymore and Beta 2.0 has bugs.
So then I was informed about:
UCCW
Apex
Nova
Home
iHome
aHome
SPB
LIghting launcher with uccw (that is totally not what I am looking for as I am designing my own theme so I dont want to use someones theme as a consumer but use an app that lets me build a new UI on the android OS.)
Ss launcher
holo launcher
zooper widget (not looking for a widget shell, but thanks for the input)
So, the most important question:
Is there an app that can do the same as SweeterHome?
Im looking forward to hearing from you guys,
Regards,
Dizzy

Hey Bud, thanks for your reply.. but I dont think you understood my message..
I am not looking for someone's theme.
I make themes.
Thanks though..
Unless I'm mistaken it sounds like you're looking for something that would completely change the visual aspects of android ui such as the status bar, menus pop ups and things of that nature afaik the only thing similar to that requires you to be rooted and running custom roms, which has the theme manager and allows you to theme to entire system and framework of android, if your looking for only third party apps available in the market that are themeable I believe super status bar comes with a theme engine as well as omega status bar (for the status bar) however they don't perform very well, and many custom launchers such as apex and nova allows for custom icons and icon packs as well as docks etc... However most themeing will require root as well as a custom roms like CM or PA (paranoid android) or aokp which all have the theme engine included.
Just a side note the theme engine included in these roms are based off the tmobile theme engine and cannot be used as a standalone app

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let you know there are third party apps that you can use in place of rooting however none will be as effective or theme as thoroughly as using the theme engine. Here's a list of some apps that might do what you need
Widget locker (for lock screen)
Super Status Bar (for status bar)
Go Launcher Pro (for home screen and launcher) not much experience with this but it seems pretty thorough in its themeing capabilities
Hopefully these can be viable alternatives for you ill add more if I think of any or of you have any other questions lemme know

+1 to what he said ^^^^ very detailed. But here is my shorter version, look into how to make a "Theme Choser" (or Theme Engine) theme, that is the most complete way to change how your phone look. Another alternative would be MIUI ROM, which is extremely customizable and dynamic when it comes to theming capability. Hope it helps :laugh:

Yesss!!!
Kagedin, thank you you've just answered more questions than I needed.
I was not sure if I needed to root but this confirms it. I got very noob at the moment because of the breakaway of 2 years from android so sorry for the complex questions.
But your answer confirms that I need root. And I also came to know that if you want to make an Apex theme... these days its done on your desktop through Python or etc.
Things has changed a lot since the beginning of Android, back then it was root into your phone, take aspects of the UI, redesign them on your desktop and place them back into their original folder on the phone and you where good to go.
I will go with Widget locker, Super Status Bar, Go Launcher Pro and Apex for the moment but first of all root.
BIG THANK YOU!

A few questions..

First question, (I hope I'm posting this in the right place) is there a way to rip the clock from the lock screen, or does anyone know a tutorial I can look at to find out?
Second, where is the current wallpaper stored in the system.
And lastly, I want to change the colour of the pull ring on the lockscreen. Does anyone know how or where I'd find a tut?
Thanks, keh_tolo

From what i know The lockscreen is an app on its own. So changing that would require you searching up advanced themeing i think the apk was htclockscreen.apk or something but be carefull with it.
As to the wallpapers they are an apk too lol. You need to pull it from the phone, insert/remove the ones you want and then push it back again with adb.
Or you could try QuickPic which grants you the ability to use any picture as your Background, asuming thats what you want.
And for the clock i have no clue.

(Q)Transparent Mods

I've done a little searching because it is late, and even the Google answers were stupid. Does anyone know if there is an app or mod that will let me change the transparency of my home screen widgets? Or maybe there's a list of widgets already modified I could peruse?
Specifically I use the 3x1 keep widget and the color choices are horrible, any ideas?
