[Q] Apply Nova Settings "Icon Theme" to Lock Screen - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have applied Trickdroid 8.0.0 to my HTC One, and then put the Nova Launcher on top of this.
I have applied the "Stock Jelly Bean" Icon Theme settings to Nova, so that when unlocked, I get these preferred icons.
However, the lockscreen is still running out of Sense UI, I guess, as the default HTC Icons are displayed.
Can I change this?
Additionally, can I alter the default apps on this lockscreen? i.e. I am trying out K-9 Mail instead of both the default HTC mail and Google's stock email, mainly because the latter 2 don't seem to render emails to show the full screen.
I am looking at trying Android Revolution HD as an alternative, that might give me this functionality. Perhaps someone could comment on this as well please?
Thanks

Natively, there is no way to change the lockscreen icons. BUT, there's an app called 'Unicon' in the Play store that lets you use Icon Packs system wide, even in the setting menu. So check that out!
As for changing the icons, the dock actually directly relates to it if you haven't noticed, so change the dock and you change the lockscreen apps.
I'm on ARHD, no special functionality here.
Good luck!

Thanks jikstah
I think there maybe a problem with the nova launcher with this as well... The lock screen displays the default set of icons (phone, messages, lock, Internet and camera) but home screen has my custom setup and I use some different apps for some of these too. Nova also has the ability for scrolling pages of the dock, which might be the cause to the problem?
I will look at unicon as well. Thanks for the tip...
Thanks again

The lockscreen uses the icons you have in the Sense dock to decide which icons to display. Nova is powerless.
I just turned off my lockscreen in the settings. It goes straight to nova. Also, I created a custom shortcut to Blink feed, so I get the best of both worlds!

thanks sauprankul
i think you might be right. i tried unicon, and same result.
it would be nice for this infinitely customizable android to be able to do this, while keeping the elements of sense i like (zoe's mainly)
so in your setup, you have zero lock screen items going on then? just rely on notifications instead? how does this occur with incoming calls? and alarms?
thanks

... and there is no alternative lock screen choice that can be made, when running sense? even from trick droid ROM, which still has sense capabilities but they are not turned on by default (i.e. i could do similar to you, and add it as a widget item if i wanted. i dont, btw...)

I have tried the tweak ROM / zip that is linked to the Trickdroid ROM, but reflashing this pack with different options does not seem to make a difference...
Lock screen is either stuck with default HTC Sense functionality or you have to 1st unlock the AOSP lock screen, then you will see the other lock screen underneath.
I am seriously disappointed with this lacking functionality. Taking the shine off all the other bits I'm enjoying about my switch to android...

thanks again jikstah.
so you have TrickDroid ROM running, with Nova Launcher on top too? so i know that your setup is comparable to my own.

i like your wallpaper "iWhat?"
Any decent suggestions for free picture hosting? I'd love to post some screens of my setup but don't have anywhere to host them.
I also used imageshack.us and when it's done i used the Direct link, not the Link.
Just uploaded it to Facebook who I believe allows remote linking, now the only question is, how do I embed it?
Did that work?
Edit: Clearly, it did not lol.
Double edit: Setting up an ImageShack account now.
Last edit: That appears to have done the trick. Can everyone else see it?
if you have root, there is an app call shootme http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.bw.picme.local/
if you don't have root, or if you have android sdk installed for adb and other uses, there is an app in /android-sdk/tools/ call ddms.bat click on that it will bring you into a debug menu, from there you can also take photos
my mods:

I really like a simple stock look, people keep asking me do I have an Evo, even at Verizon and Bestbuy. I also reduced screens to 3 to reduce memory use and cpu use

[MORPH] Naked TouchWiz App Menu 8/3/10

This was created for the Vibrant, but I see no reason why it would not be compatible with the Captivate. Enjoy.
This Metamorph will remove the colored tiles from the TouchWiz3.0 app menu. Make sure you are using the latest version of Metamorph (1.9.13 or higher). I'm not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
WARNING:
You will have to reset your homescreen widgets after applying this morph. Not sure why, but they will all pop up with the "Problem loading widget" image.

Worked fine on my captivate. Have not noticed any side effects so far. I really hated those damn backgrounds and am so happy they are gone.
Thanks for the post.
awesome. Thanks.
How do you reset the homescreen icons?
What do you mean? Are you trying to go back to stock?
If you're talking about the widgets. Just drag them to the trash and re-apply them if you get the "Problem loading Widget" box.
No I want to use them. I was going based on what you said here.

I loaded them in morph and don't know how to reset my homescreen widgets. I don't have any samsung widgets so I am not sure if it would be something in there.

I guess I am doing something wrong. I thought that was part of the process because I loaded the zip in morph and my backgrounds didn't change. I didn't see the apply all button. It is all good. I guess I am used to things loading after clicking the one button. Still new to android lol.
This is exactly what I was looking for, but I can't get it to work with metamorph. The error is the following:
"The theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing, or is not correctly written (contact theme creator)."
My metamorph version 1.9.8.14
Select "Pick existing theme" navigate to the EVO_Blackbar folder (Should be in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/ and select EVO_Blackbar_v1.3.xml. It should work. If you downloaded it from your phone, the names get messed up and cause that problem.
Is there any way to add the backgrounds to another launcher? Like Launcher Pro or ADW or something?
I love the uniformity and the aesthetics of the nice uniform grid.
There are still some stock apps with tiles behind them. Is it possible to remove those as well?

OO I like this theme, may have to try it out when I get home. I'm one of the few people who actually likes touchwiz, makes it feel more familiar (I came from an iphone 3gs)
Not trying to thread jack or anything but I see everyone including major reviews complaining about touchwiz. Whats so bad and different about it compared to stock android. What are somethings you would recommend I changed to stock for?
I know our menu system is slide right or list instead of pull up.
(I like it better that way cause you can customize it)
We have the 3 customizable of 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen.
(Better use of real estate)
Our system and menu is black with white highlight but doesn't it make more sense considering the display and black using less battery.
(saves battery/ I modded my whole system to black menus pull downs and such)
And finally the backgrounds on Icons.
(At least its uniform, have you seen some of the ugly Icons people make)
Froyo compatibility
For what it's worth, I morphed this over Cognition 2.2 beta 5.5 and it seems to have worked just fine. I'm not sure if anything else has changed, but I've gotten rid of those ugly tiles I imagine it would work for any of the JI6 ROMs....
Installed on stock JH7, works just fine.

You get 3 icons instead of Four (or even five).
That's the big problem I have with TouchWiz... I can't put Phone, Messaging, Email and Browser in the dock.

Lock screen shortcuts disappeared after ICS update

I recently upgraded to ICS with the official OTA upgrade. My lock screen shortcuts have disappeared! I went to settings ---> personalize ---> display and checked off show launch bar shortcuts on lock screen, but they don't show up. I'm using Go Launcher EX, would that cause this? Is there a way to use a third party launcher and still be able to have shortcuts on the lock screen?
the lockscreen shortcuts under ICS on sense 3.6 are the same shortcuts at the bottom of the screen on the sense launcher, if you use another launcher, you also disable the shortcuts on the lockscreen, only way to get launcher icons on the lockscreen now is with a custom lockscreen like widget locker

Yes, an alternate launcher would disable your shortcuts. The following is a pic of my lockscreen. I am not using an alternate launcher, I'm using pure Sense 3.6.

On my Sensation XE I'm using Go Launcher, but lockscreen icons work fine, I just used Sense launcher once to change the shortcuts.
To get the icons, go into the sense launcher to get the lockscreen icons. Then you can go back to Go.

[Q] How to customize AOSP lockscreen?

By adding widgets (like Music) and adding shortcuts to the circle?
I really like the look of the lockscreen, but if I can't customize like the default lockscreen I may switch back.

I did wonder this too. I'm using AOSPX 4.0.4 BR6 and it's a problem I can't work out.
I also had a problem adding a 2nd Google Drive account, but this was fixed by adding another Google account. This is different to how the Drive worked in Virtuous Quattro RC3, which allowed you to add another account directly from within the Drive app.
Any ideas anyone? Or is the feature removed from AOSP/AOSPX?
Thanks.
Here's what you do...process should be somewhat similar for all aosp based roms...but this is for cm9

Staying on topic here, there are no such options for the lock screen customisation in AOSPX 4.0.4 BR6. All there is are:
1. SCREEN LOCK - Slide, Password, Pin, Pattern etc.
2. OWNER INFO - obvious.
There are no settings to customise the lock screen or icons in any other way. Although Quattro RC3 did have this option, because I set it.
A 'long' hold of the MENU button on the HOME screen brings up some preferences, I thought it might be in here, but actually all this does is allow you to configure the HOME screen, i.e. number of home screens, search bar persistence etc.
Any other ideas? Thanks.

thats wasn't really going off topic...this thread is in the vivid q&a section
I'm pretty sure its in pure aosp... but not positive (not running a pure aosp so I can't test...) so as of right now I have no other suggest ions except maybe go the thread of your aosp from and ask there...or preferably its q&a thread if one exists

Unicon is an awesome program that can do this--and not only for launcher. It will apply an icon pack throughout the entire device. It's $2, iirc, but well worth it. Author will also help you out personally if you ask him.
That unicon app makes some tall claims and seems to do the trick however its more than a matter of just installing it and changing the icons you want, looks like it requires a few things like xposed framework etc...
I usually just open the apk->replace icons->rezip/sign apk with apktools. however doing this with "system apps" will break OTA of course.
there is a xposed framework module which can do that. Gotta search , since i dont use it i dont have it on me but i am 100% sure there is one.
Awesome unicon worked. Xposed installation was a bit jittery. Had to do a hard reset complete with shining bright light to my proximity sensor... But got out to work in the end.
I'm already rooted so I guess I can kiss ota goodbye anyway.

The problem with Unicon is you don't change icon by icon.. Like Nova.. If one icon on the pack is no have correct name or identifier (com.android...) icon don't change..

Yeah it's Sense based but boots with Nova. Don't choose De-Sense option when installing. If you use Modaco Toolbox it has a BlinkFeed option. So you can toggle between both...and there's a Viper Tweaks that allows you to choose icon packs for Sense...this ROM has EVERYTHING

You can customize the statusbar icons, the sense icon, you can use the AOSP lockscreen or the sense, and there is a lot of tweaks.
For example i have the statusbar trasparent when i open it
