[Q] Transparent lock screen

In some of the ROM's I've seen here the lockscreen is transparent, but in the ROM I use it's not, and I should like to know how to make it transparent.
If this would involve downloading source code, changing it and recompiling it, just let me know and I'll forget about it for now, but if it's something that a relative beginner might be able to accomplish then any pointers would be appreciated.

2.03 Roms have a broken vanilla lockscreen which look like this:
{
"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"
}
This lockscreen has the trasparency and can be changed editing keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml in framework-res.apk (You need to deassemble with apktool).
You can change color and trasparency by changing the ARGB color highlighted down here.
If you refer to CyanogenMod or other Vanilla (from source) i can't confirm that changing the highlighted part of that xml will help (i don't know if there is a class which create the RelativeLayout and apply a background somewhere outside the xml) .

Well, I'll give it a shot, and let y'all know. We'll see what happens. I assume it's a boot into recovery and then use ADB pull to get the apk? And then push it back when when I've finished?
EDIT:
Well, I've pulled the APK, edited the file and am now backing up my phone before I push it back. I hope this works...
EDIT 2:
Well, I tried, and failed. It got stuck in a bootloop... I just pushed the original framework-res.apk back to get back to a working system.

Read your logcat, it will give you advices on what's wrong.
Did you signed framework-res.apk with fakesign?
You could try to make a small update.zip and flash it instad of pushing.

Ok, well I'll look at into logcat.
I didn't know I had to sign it, I'll do that too. <-- How? A Google search yielded little,unless I was looking for the wrong thing
And I'll look into update.zip's later. Thanks for all your help.
EDIT:
Well, I had a go with logcat, and none of it means anything to me. I'll keep trying though. I may have filtered the wrong things. The thing is I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for. Oh well, I'll get there eventually. Doing this makes me realise how great ROM developers are...
Thanks again for your help with this

I've been trying hard with no luck.
The ROM I'm using is Azure (0.5), if anyone has any ideas on how to go about making the lockscreen I would be grateful for the help.
Cheers.

You can't push files to the system partition, we don't quite have access to it yet.... your best bet is to create an update zip and clockwork it in as mentioned above....

Well, I do it with my phone in clockworkMOD recovery, with /system mounted, and it seems to work fine...

where 2 find non-transparent screen lock
im pretty new to all this and am not that technical, so please bear with me
i have successfully rooted my legend and have installed custom rom speedlegend v.06
it comes with a lockscreen which is transparent.
i dont like the transparency and was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the link where i can find the lockscreen w/o a transparency?
id be happy with juz a black background with the clock and unlock and silent buttons
im not confident enough with coding or messing with coding to try and manually edit it
on a side note, do you think there would be any way to change the sliding "sound off" tab to make it enter vibration mode rather than no ring at all?
thanks in advance!

Well, if you follow the instruction up there ^ and set it all to #00000000 you'll get a black background.
I was about as noob as you when I tried to do it first (it was about my 3rd post), it's easy. You'll be fine.

Theming ICS
**If you use these guides for your device all I ask is you link back to this thread so more people can theme ICS for their devices**
I use apktool to for all my decompiling/recompiling purposes. Just a note, this is not a guide on how to set up SDK or apktool. There are tons of guides for that, this is guide on how to set up apktool so you can decompile, recompile, modify and theme ICS apks
I have a Windows 7 laptop, YMMV
Make sure you have latest version of apktool. I have this version and it works fine
So first, you need to update your SDK to the latest version. Open up your SDK Manager and install the latest update. Make sure you update latest Platform tools. After you are done updating, navigate to your SDK path (mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\) and go to platform-tools.
Copy the aapt.exe and paste it in your apktool working folder (my path is C:\apktool)
Now extract the ICS Rom your planning on working on and grab the framework-res.apk from it and put it in your apktool folder
Open up cmd and cd your apktool folder. Next, install ICS resources by
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Now your set.
How to Change Battery in ICS ROM
After you got apktool all set up with ICS resources installed get the SystemUI.apk from your ICS ROM, put it in your apktool folder and decompile it.
Make sure you have installed framework-res.apk in apktool prior to decompiling ICS apks
Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder, go to /res/drawable-hdpi/
This is where the battery png's are in ICS. Copy/paste your battery png's. To make it more easy, make sure your png's follow the pattern (stat_sys_battery_1.png, etc)
If you plan on changing the png's for charging animation make sure you have the correct png's named stat_sys_battery_charge_anim0.png etc
Delete leftover battery png's, if any, from stock ICS
Once all your png's are in place, you need to modify the corresponding xml's
Those are found in SystemUI/res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
If your using battery png's from a Theme you can grab their corresponding xml's from the /res/drawable folder from the theme, just open up the xml's and make sure the xml is calling upon the correct png's
Now that you have your png's and xml's in place, go back to cmd and recompile
Code:
apktool b SystemUI SystemUI-battery.apk
Now, if you have used apktool to recompile you need to sign the apk. ONLY SIGN IT IF YOU USED APKTOOL! I don't know what the process is using Apk Manager
Rename to just SystemUI.apk and make a flashable zip out of it or push with adb and change permissions to rw-r--r--
How to Enable Lockscreen Rotation (ICS)
This one is pretty easy
-decompile framework-res.apk using apktool
-navigate to decompiled folder, go to /res/values/bools.xml
-change "config_enableLockScreenRotation" to "true"
-recompile framework-res.apk
-If you used apktool, sign it, and make a flashable zip to push it to /system/framework/
HOW TO CENTER CLOCK
-decompile your SystemUI.apk
-navigate to your decompiled folder and go to res>layout>status_bar.xml
-look for this line:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock
-delete the stock clock line, delete the entire line
-next go to the top of your status_bar.xml and place your cursor at the end of this line:
Code:
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
-press "enter" to create an empty line
-place your cursor at the beginning of that empty line and paste this line of code:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:paddingTop="3.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
-make sure everything lines up (see my xml below)
-lastly, find this line:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/ticker"
-right after "@id/ticker" add this drawable:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/status_bar_bg_tile"
That's it for the Center Clock. Recompile and if you used apktool sign your new SystemUI.apk using apkmanager (option 16)
Here is an example of how your status_bar.xml should look like
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.PhoneStatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

HOW TO PUT CUSTOM CARRIER LOGO IN STATUSBAR
-Decompile your SystemUI.apk from whatever ROM your using
-Navigate to your decompiled folder and go to /res/layouts/status_bar.xml
-Look for the line of code that starts with this
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarIconView
-Place your cursor at the beginning of that line and press "ENTER" to create an empty line right above it
-In that empty line, copy/paste this line of code
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="@android:color/transparent" android:background="@drawable/carrier_logo" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
-Make sure everything "lines up" in your xml (no odd spacing or empty lines)
-Next, you need to select an image you want displayed in your statusbar. I usually stick to one no greater than 100 pixels wide and 45 pixels in height
-Whatever image you decide to use make sure it's in ".png" format and name it "carrier_logo" (with out the quotes)
-Place your carrier_logo.png in the /res/drawable-hdpi/ folder
-Now you can build your new SystemUI, if you used apktool to do all of this don't forget to sign your apk
Here's what mine looks like
HOW TO MAKE A FLASHABLE ZIP FOR YOUR MODIFIED APK
-Download this zip here
-Extract it
-navigate to the /system/app/ folder
-place your modified apk's in that folder
-if your flashing a modified framework-res.apk or anything from /system/framework/ simply create a folder within the system folder and name it "framework" without the quotes and place the apk (framework-res.apk) or jar in there.
-navigate back until you only see the META-INF folder and the system folder
-if you want, you can edit the updater-script found in /META-INF/com/google/android/. Using a text editor open up the updater-script and change some of the UI Print (Mine all say "Flashing some Mod by fergie716" so you can change it to whatever). BUT IF YOUR NEW OR UNSURE DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN THE UPDATER SCRIPT, JUST THE UI PRINT
-select both the META-INF and system folders and zip them up (I use 7-zip with default zip settings)
-place your newly created zip on your SD and flash in recovery
-**Just a note, this was made especially for the NS/NS4G so IDK if it'll work for other devices. My updater-script also cleans dalvik-cache before installing. This is also for system apps/framework ONLY! I will post one for data (user) apps if needed
RESOURCES
HOW TO INSTALL SDK
-This is a great guide on how to install ADB with Android SDK. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE PICTURES ON HOW TO SET UP CORRECT ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES, ESPECIALLY THE SDK AND JAVA FILES
DOWNLOADS AND HOW TO (OFFICIAL)
-This is the official page for SDK downloads and a "How to" on setting up requirements.. MAKE SURE YOU MEET REQUIREMENTS (JAVA, ETC)
APKTOOL
-Official page for apktool. Get the downloads
ANDROID COMMANDER
-Very useful tool! Can pull data/system apps extremely easily, run a live log, run DDMS, push/pull files with a handy GUI. One of my favorite, and most useful, apps
APK MANAGER
-This is what I use to sign apps. To make it compatible for ICS you need to replace the aapt.exe and apktool.jar (both found in APK Manage's "other folder") with the aapt.exe from latest SDK update (found in platform-tools folder) and the apktool.jar is found in your main apktool directory
DSIXDA'S KITCHEN
-Very useful. Deodex stock ROMs, unpack/repack boot.img, add different functionality to a ROM. Just tons of tools and options

No problem
I'm curious to find out if it works on other ROMs/devices. If someone will check I would be grateful. If it doesn't work I will make it for that ROM/device

When flashing the zip for the on screen buttons, is therw a way to completely disable the capasitive buttons? I know we can dim them, though they come back on from time to time, but actually disable them completely?
Edit: Hmm maybe wrong thread to ask....

I just flashed the 0-100 battery mod on BM's V5 with francos latest kernel.
Annnd...it worked. Thank you

What about a center clock without battery mod?

thanks. works perfect

Thank you. I got used to conveniently let.

Hey thanks man! Glad you guys like it.
Open to ideas.. I'd really like to see centered date with expanded statusbar, just have to get the padding right with the new buttons (settings icon and clear all button)

[GUIDE][CM9/CM10] How to Add BRIGHTNESS SLIDER TO NOTIFICATION PANEL

How to Add BRIGHTNESS SLIDER TO NOTIFICATION PANEL for CM9 & CM10
Hi..Hi..Hello XDA , especially for Developer only
I want to share to you all how to add brigtness slider to notification panel for your Devices running CyanogenMod 9 & 10
Basically the guide is for Gingerbread, and I use all smali file and code from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152370
so full credit goes to evanlocked
I just made some change and fix to suit for Device running CM9 & CM10
WARNING !!!
But there is a little bug on this Mod, if you enable Automatic Brightness from your SETTINGS - DISPLAY -BRIGHTNESS - , the Brightness bar will dissappear from notification panel, and never want to show again, so make sure before and after applying this mod, never to do that
SEE THE SCREENSHOT :
{
"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"
}
If you can see, there is an Automatic brightness check box,
and the check box is only a fake check box, doesn't have accessibility to access Automatic brightness of our Device. so you are free to tick/check list it, and brightness slider will not dissapear.
ok lets go to Guide:
first of all need some requirement for this MOD-GUIDE

[MOD] Screen off status bar Mod

This mod lets you shut off screen by pressing the time on the top right status bar.
Must know how to use Apktool. For dev's mostly.
Decompile LGSystemUI.apk with apktool.
Search for: status_bar.xml
then search for:
</com.lge.systemui.widget.StatusBarLinearLayout>
add this after this line:
PHP:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="right" android:id="@id/back" android:paddingRight="65.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="#00000000" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/recent_apps" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="26" systemui:keyRepeat="false" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" androidundefinedrientation="vertical" />
Then build your LGSystemUI.apk and your done.

Softkey Mod: Swap Back and Recents Button

Hey guys -
Here are flashable zips to swap the back button with the recent keys. This is a pretty simple modification but I wanted to bring it together in a clean thread here for anyone who is interested in the modification. I eventually just figured this out myself after nothing was available in custom ROMs for quite some time.
For those who are curious what all is changed, here are the here are the basics. This is the first attempt I've ever made at doing anything like this so I apologize if something doesn't look right but here is what I did. You will need to get apktool then do this:
1) Download SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to computer
2) apktool if framework-res.apk
3) apktool if SystemUI.apk
4) apktool d SystemUI.apk
5) Modify SystemUI\res\layout\navigation_bar.xml
Here is the stock snippet for reordered:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/nav_buttons" android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:animateLayoutChanges="true">
<View android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="40.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="0.0" />

</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
6) apktool b SystemUI
7) copy SystemUI.apk from SystemUI\dist
There are 4 zip files. A modify and restore for both rastapop and stock 5.01.

Love this Mod, any chance you will take request? Say SlimLP or LoliPop Dream? That would be awesome. I will happily provide the system files.

Probably not due to the amount of time it takes to properly build and test things to the point where I'm comfortable posting it. There were some weird things with the framework after boot creating some unique properties of one of the apks making the mod specific to that installation. I had to pull files from recovery prior to boot to make the modded zip work for fresh installs and I don't know enough about why. But basically that means reflashing my device and testing multiple times to make sure it works so it's very time consuming.

If I have the time, I'll do requests in my free time. Finals are starting to come to a close if thats okay with OP.

Any way to get a menu button on the far right. That's about the only mod I'm really waiting for. Know your all busy with life so I'm just puttin it out there. Hehe. Happy holidays everyone.

Any screen shots of the icons? Thx

Also a note. Make sure you are fully flashed, meaning ROM, Gapps, and Kernel, before you flash. Boot up, then flash this mod. I had issues if I tried to do them all at once. Just an FYI.

Fine by me! That's why I provided the steps to recreate so people can do whatever they want.

I'm going to give this a try once I get lunch and establish the environment. Instructions seem simple enough, I just have to set up apktool environment, the one I had previously doesn't install the framework probably because its not updated for Lollipop so I'll have to do that.
I did check up into it, oddly enough apktool_2.0.0rc3.jar and using apktool bat doesn't provide "is" as a valid input but is showing up in command prompt with the list of usages. I'll have to look more into it once I get food, im starving.
Edit: I got it, didn't use OP's instructions but did it the way I normally mod apks. Just had to update the apktool for the tool I used to decompile Lollipop apks.
Going to flash the new LiquidSmooth and then apply the mod and I'll report back on testing then I can take requests.
I wish Lollipop didn't hide all the contents of the ROM. It used to be a lot easier since I can extract the apks without installing the ROM.

And it's good to go. Upload framework-res.apk and systemui.apk and I'll fulfill some requests include ROM name.

Could anyone do a build for Pure Shamu? Or has anyone tested it on Pure Shamu yet?

None of the zips will work for Pure Shamu as each ROM as their own SystemUI / Framework which are core fundamentals of a ROM. Upload the two files from your ROM and I'll do it for your ROM.
I can mass produce these in less a minute, fairly simple to do.

You're 99% right, as you can see below. First is at 493 DPI, next is 560, its a bit to the right

I'm totally psyched with this mod!!!!

The only problem I have which I'm sure I can fix is if the phone is in Landscape mode, it still follows the Back Home Recents format.
I'll work on that sometime later (enjoying my day after a tough week of finals)

Can't get it to work with the Pure Shamu 3.2 ROM. Just keep getting the never ending System UI crashes.
Perhaps it's also due to me having the Dark Theme mod installed as well??

Upload Pure Shamu 3.2 ROM Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and then I'll mod it.

If you are looking for this to work on Pure, you should upload the requested files that ZephiK had mentioned in this post. Both the op and zephiK are awesome for doing this.

And it's good to go. Upload framework-res.apk and systemui.apk and I'll fulfill some requests include ROM name.

Strangely, I'm fine with the back being on the bottom in landscape, odd.
