My D2 has a load of smiley icons in My Pictures, but I can't think of anything I've installed that would have put them there and I think they've always been there. Has everyone got them and does anyone know what they're there for? I'm thinking of deleting them!

Messenger?
Even shorter. MMS
Cheers guys, I guess everyone has them? I think I'll just move them off into another folder. I just don't want them cluttering up My Pictures when I'm going through the album.
Only if your ROM has the MMS part. Some cooks leave it out. But stock ROM's (even most ROM's) will have those icons.
anyone working on this? I had a nice rom installed before 2.1 that included it, and i SO miss it.....
is this even possible?
Heres to hoping someone does something about it I loved that lockscreen as well.
It doesn't work as well as it, but Lockbot does this.
When comparing the framework-res.apk of a 2.0 build vs a 2.1 build. You can see the png's have similar names so im wondering if a small xml/png exchange will do the job.
Agreed.
Wanted the wheel ever since it first came out
What are the main files for lockscreen, anyway?
Framework-res always looks similar...
Yup its framework-res
I compared the two's layout folder. EVERYTHING matches except for 2 new xmls.
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock and keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land
I tried deleting those and hoping it would revert back to old style. Didnt boot. Tried replace those two with keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock. Didnt boot. Now its your turn. Good luck
Hey there guys,
As the title says, i am meaning to ask about the HTC Desire lockscreen.
Our 2.1 Roms, including the ones from the HTC Legend, whenever you want to unlock you pull down the bar and the transition pulls down the lockscreen picture down as well.
On the HTC desire though, you just pull down the bar, and it unlocks in a better (for me) transition. The lockscreen picture stays intact, and the bar is just pulled down. I seem to prefer that.
Here's a video showing this @ 1:01.
Is this possible to achieve?
TIA
EDIT: 14/6/2010
Thanks to HomerSp (many many props) Desire lockscreen is now available!
Get it HERE as an update.zip.
Well..
Everything is possible! And I totally agree with you.
Yes, would be very nice. Perhaps a theme could resolve this or hopefully the official 2.1 will include this.
Now that we're three, anyone mind giving us a hint? I'll try and work on it myself if needed.
Gotha be something in the HTCLockscreen.apk !!
Hax some there making the lockscreen "wallpaper/background" not following the unlock bar. Instead you make it stand still and fadeout to the homescreen when unlock has been done.
Don't ask me how to do this tho
really liked it !
now , we are four
the lockscreen would be nice if it wre to be for the 2.1 roms
Also (thought I might add this in, might be some help), when answering a call only the bar slides down (not the background).
About whether this will be in the official 2.1, I'm not sure if this any indication of what to expect but on the HTC Wildfire (2.1 and similar specs to our Hero), the lockscreen is the same as the one we have in 1.5 (ie bar + background, not just bar).
My guess its just a modified HTCLockscreen.apk

Yea figured as much as well, thing is i have no idea if, due to the difference in screen size, it would get affected ( i suppose it will).
And due to me not knowing HOW to edit apk's, thought maybe i'd ask first.
I'll be uploading in a while the Lockscreen.apk off of MCR ROM for the Desire. My ROM isn't deodexed, so I can't test it, if any of you guys wanna give it a try, please do so and let me know. Nandroid first, as kendong said.
edit. just remove the HTCLockscreen.apk from system/app/ and push this one via adb.
Well, as noone tried it, i did a nandroid and cooked a Villain rom 5.5.0 with the APK integrated in it.
Freezes on boot. Ill try again and get a logcat, see if someone can help out.
I like the collapsing effect we have on 1.5..
Ok so instead of a cooked rom, i went ahead and installed 5.5.0 Villain Rom today, and removed the normal HtcLockScreen.apk via adb, and pushed the new one.
As expected, same as above, it wouldn't boot. I've got a logcat now.
Anyone mind giving this a look?
I am still not giving up here.
Decompiled the apk's via the APKTool, and i am "trying" to compare the two. Anyone with more knowledge please help me out.
Here are the two decompiled apk's. One from VR 5.5.0 and the other one from the Desire.
I do believe that this might be a problem with /system/frameword/com.htc.resources.apk. If it is, i have no idea how to fix it. This guess is based upon the fact that most themers update that particular apk in order to move from old framework rosies to new ones (1.5 =>2.1).
ANY help is appreciated.
There are 4 changed files located in DesireLock\smali\com\htc\lockscreen
HtcLockScreen$1.smali
HtcLockScreen$5.smali
HtcLockScreen.smali
R$string.smali
Comparing these would probably come up with only the bar going down as these files are smalled then the original hero lockscreen.

You based this on the file size difference, didn't you?
Well, substituting the files from the old lockscreen to the new desire lockscreen, then recompiling would make it work, you believe?
If all the other requets are the same, then yes it should be just a few lines actually. But i have no idea what the other differences between say the dialer, or other functionality the desire lockscreen adds/remove's.
I really want this too
Wouldn't it be easier to get the desire lockscreen.apk and put the graphics from the hero into the apk-file and edit the layout so the images fit into the screen?
Like the title says. I put them in a couple places already. But still can't get them to work. Last i tryed I put them in, ADWLauncher>res>mdpi
Thanks
would also be interested in this... i like the wallpaper gallery for choosing the ... choices.
I suppose if i knew what folder contained them I could just move them?
well to get ringtones on the phone you put them in media/audio/ringtones. So the wallpaper gallery might go into /media/pictures/wallpaper(s) or /media/wallpaper(s). That would be my guess
that would be great, if those folders existed, but they dont.
I know there must be some place the WPs that came with this ROM are stored, not on the SD card... the wallpaper gallery is accessing something... somewhere...
but i'll be ****ed if I can find it.
probably total obvious n00b mistake, i'm sure, but I am stumped.
I had to make the media folder for the ringtones. Search how to put custom ringtones on android. My guess is the wallpaper gallery would be done in the same fashion
Sorry to tell you guys you are wrong. I know for a fact it has to be in the Launcher.apk (or what ever launcher you are useing.
If you put it in there and rename the image to one of the other images in there it will work. kinda a work around.
I know how to make regular icons transparent b/c I've already done that, but I can't seem to get the Folder one to work. I tried w/ Desktop Visualizer, but I haven't been able to use it to make a folder to put mulitple stuff in unless I'm just missing it. Can somebody help please?
Check out the app Folder Organizer. You can use custom icons for them along with a whole slew of other things. Great app. Check out my post alittle further down entitled Justice League icons to see how I used it.
Thanks man. I have that app on my SD card actually, but never got around to installing it, lol. I'll check it out now.
Is their any way to change the font on the folders? I mean to make the background of the font clear?
