As requested by @yandz, here is a pattern-lock screen...with Naruto-inspired sharingan icons !
To do this yourself, you can download the icons attached to this post and put them into the appropriate drawable-?dpi folder in your decompiled framework-res.apk.
Or, if you're not comfortable with decompiling apk files, just flash the attached 'Sharingan_PattenLock_Flashable.zip' in CWM (not TWRP). This zip will push a file called 'android-res.apk' into your 'system/vendor/overlay' folder.
By using an overlay apk, it means that your framework-res.apk isn't touched. So you won't lose any of the mods you may have done to it. Pretty cool, no?
Oh, and this zip will make a flashable backup too! Just in case you don't like the changes. Also pretty cool.
(Or, if you use Tickle My Android, why not just let the tool do it for you? I've just updated it with these icons!)
Enjoy!
wow nice one bro. thank you! Can you make another one if you don't mind?Different types of Mangekyo Sharingan

These are the images that are used for the pattern lock. They're in the relevant drawable-?dpi folder in your framework-res.apk.
You only need to worry about changing the image files that end in "_holo". Those are the actual image files that are used. The rest you can ignore.
All I did in this mod, and the Lego pattern lock mod, was to make all the images transparent with the exception of the 'btn_code_lock_default_holo.png' and 'btn_code_lock_touched_holo.png'. Those are the images I changed with some sharingan pics I found on the internet.
The challenge was finding pictures that were of good enough quality. The actual mod took about 5 minutes...

You'll be able to find framework-res.apk in the system/framework folder in your phone's internal memory. Inside that file will be a folder called 'res'. Inside there will be at least one folder called 'drawable-somethingdpi'.
Exactly what that folder will be called varies from phone to phone, depending on what resolution it is. If you have a ldpi, or Low Dots Per Inch, phone, you'll have a folder called 'drawable-ldpi' in your apk. If you have a xxxhdpi, you'll have a folder called 'drawable-xxxhdpi'.
You may have more than one of these folders, so it's important to know what resolution your device actually is.
These drawable folders contain the images that your apk uses. And it's those images that you need to change to do this mod.

Oh my... Where to get the wallpaper only?
The wallpaper can be found here. Not lockscreen resolution though.
By the way thanks a lot ratcom.
Sweet!
Cheers bro, keep up the good work!
is it somehow possible to have also a own backgroud image (set through settings)?
just use whatever wallpaper you want. This update is for the lockscreen icon not the wallpaper!
help
thanks for your work.
can you explain how to do that?
which file to edit? and how to make it an update file?
good day!
Brilliant, thanx for putting these together.
Would it be possible to remove the transparent box at the bottom of the screen when u touch it or recieve notification? The one that the slide down to unlock txt is on.
i love this lockscreen but im with djmace 100%, if you can remove the darker transparent box that appears when you get a text or if you touch the screen it would be absoulutly perfect
please please please

Thanks man!
I unpacked the update to see how this worked and in the lockscreen folders, the graphics have all been blanked out apart from lockscreen_prompt_back.png.
I'm guessing if you made this one blank as well the transparent box would become clear too. I'd test it but need to learn how to sign apk files again first.
Can u confirm ratcom? Good work anyway!
sounds like you're onto something, can someone please try this as I havent the foggiest idea where to even start trying

this was posted by ratcom as to how ti sign the apk's again
I found these instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467639
Quote:
Before using this you need to know how to set this up:
I will assume that you have the sdk downloaded and extracted somewhere(if not, do that now), extract both files to the tools directory of your sdk.
Now you will need to add the tools dir of your sdk to the environment variable CLASSPATH.(seem to work with windows 7)
To do this, right click on My Computer click properties, then choose the tab that says advanced. Click the button that says environmental variables. Go to system variables find the one that says CLASSPATH, double click it, go to the end of variable value. There should be a semicolon ; at the end. type in the path to the testsign.jar located in the tools directory of your SDK, for example the path to my testsign.jar was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools\testsign.jar If CLASSPATH is not in your system variables then create it. Secondly, Find the system variable called PATH and add to the end of it, the full path to your sdk directory. For example, mine was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools
Now right click the reg file that you extracted and choose to install it, or merge.
Now, right click an apk, do you see an option that says ResignApk? That's how you will resign your .apks and .zips.
If you find the right click menu not working for some reason you can type the following in cmd to sign your files: java testsign whateverfiletosign
Now through doing this you have done two things, first off you have made the resigning process extremely easy, secondly you will not have to cd to the tools dir of the sdk to use adb or any other tool in the sdk.
does anyone that knows what they're doing fancy giving this ago?
Il try when i get home but dont count on me
Thanks for that djmace.
I will test my theory asap, hopefully will have some time to try this afternoon.

I tried last nite but they failed to work. Then this morning I took another look and think that i have found my problem. I copied and pasted the file path from above as my classpath, however i have the 1.5 sdk so therefore need to change that. Won't get chance till I tonite though.
Nice one, cant wait for this, good luck!
Ok I managed to make the changes I wanted, but that file I mentioned is not the one responsible for the transparent block. I'll see if I there is anything else that might be causing it, but nothing jumps out after a quick glance over the files.
But at least I learned a lot

Agh poooo!!! lol
Actually looking at the file its curved at the top so was a long shot anyway. Saying that though, i cant find any other file that could be the one we want either.
My next thought is that it is actuall drawn by an xml file. There is a file in the layout folder called htc_locks_creen_control.xml that could hold the answer but i have no idea how to view what is written in the xml.

I'm having some problems theming it. I want it to be like the one from BlackMod so I've extracted the one from BlackMod and put it in my theme so it should work now right? But it didn't it just showed the widget but not with the correct bagground etc. Then I took the GenieWidget.apk from the original ROM and themed it plus some pngs that is also in it. Something like this:

As it is a system apk it does not need to be signed. The borders are because of decompiling and I did recompile again afterwards. Also it does work but it doesn't have the correct layout. That's the issue

send me your images that you want for this geniewidget and power control and ill edit and sign it for you and then upload the apk. or if you want, i can create an update.zip like i did for this fellow in the Post Your Home Screen thread. let me know, i'm always happy to help.

I appreciate that but that is not the problem. The problem is that I have themed it (all pngs that needs theming) but it still stays as the matte Power Control Widget. I ask because someone might know if there are some other pngs in some other apks or if I have to edit some XML files or something. I have already created 2 themes so I know how it works (signing, update.zip etc.)

hm, assuming you know that power control widget is in the settings.apk and have edited that, my only other suggestion would be to check the framework because i do not know of any other place where they could be. however, from my experience, i find it always best to edit your apk within your theme (the actual .zip) and then sign that whole .zip if you want to avoid any issues. just my two cents for you. if the xml is stock, there should be no issues as to what is governing the correct .9.png. anyway, good luck .

ok sure no problem man. ive attached a fully transparent .9.png with that name. if you want to use it for other pngs, just make copies of the one i attached and rename it to whatever name you choose. good luck . it's there but you can't see it since it's totally transparent. to download it, just right click in the left corner or a little towards the middle of the left corner until you get the option to save image.

no problem dude
I am trying to mod a 2.2 based dialer to work on 2.3.3. I have extracted both DialerActivityTab.apk's
Then:
1) From the 2.3.3 based, I cut folders AndroidManifest, classes.dec and resources.arcs. All other (assets, META and res) files have same exact date of mod
2) From 2.2 based, I cut the same files out.
3) I then paste the 2.3.3 files to 2.2
I zipped this and put in phone (root Ex>System>app) renamed the original and paste the new DTA.apk
Interestingly enough when I tryed the dialer it went back to the previous dialer! When I go back into RE the icon matches the renamed DTA.apk
So what else can I/ should I do?
i guess the proper question here is, did you actually use apk manager to decompile all this or are you trying to do all this from a zip file manager?

I tried this on my first attempt, however it somehow reverted back to the one installed with the rom. What I have been doing (to swap out the original DTA.apk) is renaming it to DialerTab Activity2.apk and leaving it there in app. after palcing the newly created DTA.apk I have selected install.
As you've stated, I too thought it was a simple image swap.

Oh yeah as long as you have the same dialer set up it should just be swapping the images but if you have one of the diapers from the captivate without the video call button or a 3 button bottom row it wont be as easy.

sorry, it's on post #7 with the first pic
This is where I was a week ago. attached are the two drawable-hdpi files from the rom and theme. I originally swapped everything out of the roms dialer and moved the items from the themes dialer into that file and reinserted it back into the DTA.apk and then on to the phone... Was this right. Sounds like the only thing I did wrong was to leave the original DAT.apk in the app folder (on the phone) however I did rename it.

If you would like what you do is after making sure the images are the same size for both, replace the images one by one instead of the whole folder. Only do the images.

HI, Want to make a widgetlocker theme for your LPDI device? or are you just bored of that plain and simple stock themes from widgetlocker?
Then i have a guide for you!
BUT, . . .
First things First
PREREQUISITES:
1. Widgetlocker app
2. Adobe Photoshop (any version) or any image editing software you wish
3. Winrar or any compression software you wish
4. Stock images you want to use for this
5. Patience and the heart to test
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So then, let's start
First make a folder example "mytheme.wltheme" it has to have a wltheme ending in it
Then open the first stock image file with photoshop this will be our background
{
"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"
}
Next, Resize the first picture to 188x152
As you can see i made mine transparent
Save it as iphone_background_3.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Now open the second stock image you want to use as the slider
So now let's make the slider (Hooray), design it like the way you want after that resize to 112x120
Then save it as iphone_slider_left.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Now do the same procedure for the right slider and size it to 112x120
Then save it as iphone_slider_right.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Lastly make a preview of the theme and resize it to 90x90
Then save it as iphone_preview.png inside the "mytheme.wltheme"
Now, lets compile the theme elements that we just made by making a zip
go back to the folder that you have created as "mytheme.wltheme"
and right click to bring down options, next select "add to archive"
This should popup afterwards, change the radio button from rar to zip
Next copy the file, connect USB storage to PC then navigate to your SD-Card
"\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes", paste it there
Now that your theme is installed just click refresh themes
and apply the theme you made
And here is your finished product:
KUDOS !!!! Its in the attatchment if you want
TIP: You can also convert several widgetlocker themes that was made for HDPI, MDPI and port it to LDPI

hello i have been looking around and it seems no one has been having the problems i currently have been experiencing and i wonder if anyone knows how to fix this?
i've currently been just editing the arrow slider style sliders for widget locker and been saving the background with the regular .png format not interlaced as well as trying it interlaced with no luck as when i zip them up and try to install on my phone they go in like they should, but when i try to use the slider the background doesn't appear when the file clearly was made i'm wondering is there something i'm doing wrong?
oh and my device is the droid 4 and most other sliders i haven't edited work fine

hmm,
what format did you save the whole zip into?
and did you use photoshop?
same prob with the background element.
Sry didn't find anything else to ask my probs... seemly old topic.
Anyways... I have same problem as the guy above mentioned. The background element just don't appear. I even tried to use another theme as a base for new one. I only edited the background pic and saved it as it was. Same problem appears again, no background element visible. What do I do wrong?
I will be waiting for a more in depth tutorial regarding this. Thanks.

It needs a 1x1 pixel at the top of the image as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825553
I had the same problem. I d/l'd the Tron Slider and copy/pasted the image I wanted in photoshop. The problem was that I was deleting the old layer, thus getting rid of the pixel at the top as well. Once I just deleted the image and left the pixel at the top, it worked fine.

How to build apps icon pack:
Things you require:
-Base VRTheme-Here!(Don't worry there are no trojans)
-You will find a lot of icons on XDA.
-Required apps from the ROM which you want to modify.
-Notepad++ for changing updater-script.
-Any good photo editing tool.(Even the one that comes with MS-Office will do)
-A brain to avoid mistakes and bother me with stupid questions.
-Kindness to press the THANKS button below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps:
1. Download all the things required.
2. Open your ROM and copy all the apps and move them to a seperate folder. Here we will take only 3 apps-Browser, Messaging and Calculator.
{
"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"
}
3. Now extract these apps using 7zip or winrar.
4. Now open the app folder, go to res and find the location where the icon of the app is present. These are generally present in mipmap-hdpi/mdpi/xhdpi/ldpi/xxhdpi or drawable-hdpi/mdpi/xhdpi/ldpi/xxhdpi . For e.g. in my case Browser app it's present in mipmap-hdpi named as ic_launcher_browser.png:
5. Now extract the VRTheme base folder and go to vrtheme->system->app and make a new folder their with named as appname.apk(Here appname refers to the name of the app). For e.g. Browser.apk in my case.
6. Now make res folder in it. And under res folder make another folder which contains app icon. For e.g res->mipmap-hdpi in my case:
7. Now place your modified icon in it and rename it to the original icon name. For e.g. ic_launcher_browser.png in my case. And resize it according to your DPI.
Try resizing by percentage if possible.
Also I don't recommend resizing from a lower DPI to a Higher DPI or the icons may seem blur.
8. Do the same for other apps. In my case calculator and messaging.
9. Now give this icon pack your name. Go to META-INF->com->google->android and open updater-script with notepad++ and in second line replace alokbina with your name. You can practically change almost everything under ui_print in updater-script but remember that it should be in the format ui_print("ABCD"); . Here replace ABCD with whatever you like.
10. Now you will be having 4 folders- data, META-INF, system, vrtheme and an image named as preview. Zip all these and rename it to whatever you like and flash it with CWM and you're done! Enjoy your own icon pack Feel free to THANK me :laugh:

Click to collapse
Important Tip:-Note the size of the original icon and modify the new icon accordingly or else you may not get any icon or smaller icon. For e.g. sometimes the icon present in the app is of size 96X96 though it is hdpi app. But still change the other icon size also to 96X96 to get best result.

Just a doubt, when I downloaded the zip, I didnt any signing (signature whatever) files, so shouldn't the zip be signed before flashing??
Simple to the point and yet thorough. Thank you for this. I'm shocked this thread doesn't have more action!:thumbup:

Pretty much anything in the apk can be flashed into it using a vrtheme script.
Any png/.9.png, fonts, resources.arcs, classes.dex whatever.
The main thing is the name and folder location must match exactly!
There is even some edits to the scripts to automatically create a "restore" zip of the apps before they get modified so if something doesn't look right or you get force close issues you can simply flash the restore.zip in recovery and get back to normal quickly.
Thanks to @Spannaa for the awesome idea and base script! I've been using it for years.
Good luck friend and happy flashing!

ikr I mean how about 9.png? is it using its black border or not? because usually if we extracted 9.png from an APK it'll be without borders, while in compile-decompile process it has to be bordered

I'm know all about patch 9 pngs and vrtheme requires ANY file, rather it be 9.pngs, xml, classes.dex etc to be compiled.
Again, any file you want to push to an apk in recovery using a vrtheme script MUST BE COMPILED!
Pushing a regular png renamed to 9.png can have serious negative results causing the corrupt image to block a button, create force close issues when that image is being call for or even cause a boot loop. Just saying be careful. That's why I use a version that creates a restore.zip that i can flash in case something does happen.
It's a great tool and has many great uses. Just like any time you mod and apk, make sure you understand unexpected things can happen ad be prepared for them if they do.
Good luck and hope this gives you a little info you can use.
