[THEME] eViL Lockscreen Port!

After converting from G1 to Hero I am amazed by the lack of themes for hero, I would of though there be at least colour changes??
Anyway after giving myself a crash course on package stripping building and signing I've come up with 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"
}
None of work was mine, I just re-packaged it to run on Hero's Custom ROM's.
Download Modaco 2.2 to 2.8 version here >>http://www.4shared.com/file/137484516/5a864521/update.html

Will it run on other ROMs, do you need root?

Yep you will need root I'm afraid. It should work on both 2.2 & 2.3 MoDaCo's rom

How does this fit in with music player? As that curves around the curved bar...?

Works fine

I've just tested it on my updated Orange hero...seems to be working fine at the moment and no problems..........but does anyone know if this isn't safe to do (cause some future problems)? Should I not use it and revert back because I dont have the modaco rom installed?

should honestly be fine

It looks awsome thank you!

Tried this with the stock RUU EU Rom and it worked fine.
Wondering about the transparent background that Evil uses, is that just a Transparent image i could make in photoshop or is there much more to it?

You will need to push this onto your phone for it to work (make sure you are in recovery mode BEFORE pushing)
I used these commands......
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push c:\com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework
Once I know how I will make this into update.zip for ease

can you please explain step by step how you did that? i know there are instructions on these forum, but they do not work for me (especially i would like to know, how you signed the apk again?)

Nice one mate and great to see you here on Hero!

Sorry double posted from my Hero!

I found these instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467639
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 this just install now with the custom bootloader? ie, click on update.zip and it will do the rest?

yes

Fantastic, looks great. Got any more?
Is there a way of theming the main UI ?

Got this on and its perfect so I put it on my brothers, he's not too keen. How do we revert back to the default lockscreen?

There you go mate
http://www.4shared.com/file/138265831/d9916ba3/update_-orginal.html

Is there a way to remove the dark transparent curve on the music player and also the dark transparent box that covers the lower part of the screen when you get a message or touch the screen? That would make this already great mod perfect
Thanks

That's pretty cool.

[Bootscreen] Android Supernova for Hero

Ported apoth's Supernova bootscreen for G1 to G2/Hero format simply because I liked it, and it's a cinch to do as it turns out. The file attached to this post is a signed update zip.
Graphics used with permission from apoth - see this thread for the original G1 version.
adb push bootscreen_Supernova_noSound_signed.zip /sdcard or manually copy to root of SDcard
Flash zip through recovery rom
(alternatively flash zip through DroidExplorer - never tried that myself though)

I initially tried with a higher frame delay (slower moving "supernova"), but to me, it just looked, for lack of a better word, "stuttery".

Its not working on Villain 4.0 beta2

look great... will try it

Not working on the New legendary rom 1.3.5

thanks its pretty cool

This is my favorite bootscreen and believe me, I've tried them all!

Hey Everyone
I was having the same problem with the bootimage not loading. A member (papa smurf) was able to help me out. Here is his email (the bootimage is now loading fine):
yeah man thats an easy fix.
if you know how to use adb inside of command promt then hook up phone to computer and make sure it is on sync and debug is on then type this in the comand promt of your computer. to get to command promt go to the start button and type in cmd.
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/media/bootanimation.zip
adb shell rm -r /system/media/bootscreen
then you can restart your phone.​
Note you could just do:
adb remount
adb shell
su (not sure if you need the su command here or not I usually just enter it any ways all the time)
rm -r /system/media/bootanimation.zip
rm -r /system/media/bootscreen
After those two files have been removed make copy the new bootimage zip file to the flash drive, reboot into revovery menu, flash from zip

Sweet, will definetly try this out when I get some time over.
Good job!

Real sweet. I can't see any use for it myself, but that doesn't make the accomplishment any smaller.

Absolutely no use
But I could not resist to give it a go.

Mmmmmm, When i launch adb shell I have :
Code:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Excellent work here snake. Don't see any use for it myself but definitely would impress my friends! Two thumbs up. Another milestone achieve for the Legend.

Did you (by any chance) try to copy/paste that error output into a Google search filed and hit enter??? You would have most probably got a gazillion of hits.

I try and walk =)
It is possible to make a full ubuntu rom replacing the system folder of Android by those of Ubuntu?
Just to see the performance of the phone.
ps : sorry i'm french...

Possible, yes. Of course it is. Likely? No. Unless you start a port.

On the nexus one we can boot from the SD card, why not on the legend ...
But the screen is too small for everyday use.

Boot from SD card? Well, look into how it's done, and see if it's possible on the Legend

I have found that sometimes bootubuntu doesn't work, and that changing all the "loop1" into "loop5" sorts it out... Just an observation

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631389
Try this way ?!

ok, will check it.

If we have to work on this, i think is better to try porting meego ...

Hummm meego work on HTC desire ...
http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD

That would be so nice that we could have both android and meego on our legend ! If you could keep us in touch with your progress, that would be nice ;-)

And just one quick feedback about ubuntu on my phone : I've a problem when I try to use ubuntu with the phone terminal, I've a "chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': no such file or directory", then a few errors with unmount (unpossible 'cause there's no such file or directory), and finally a losetup: /dev/loop5: Device or ressource busy...
Any idea ?
Thank you for your help.

If you have any suggestions and/or ideas /etc feel free the post them (no pm's plz)
ENJOY!

Nice and clean. Installing now, great work!
Tapatalked from my SUpersonic...

This is actually amazing. If you could make one without the htc mark for non-htc phones that would be great Thanks

Nice. Mind if I borrow? I won't use it as a bootanimation, I'm trying different animations for the background of the notification pull down. You'll get credit in my theme thread of course
My only suggestion is maybe some faster bubbles with a little froth or smoke at the top?

Well since i have a HTC Desire i naturally added the Htc logo,but i'll make one without it in v1.1

Why is there no dl link? Is this a microsoft conspiracy? Looks great though, keep it up.

Dl links are at the bottom of the OP ,work fine.

1.1ish? I knew i wanted this animation, but i have an OG droid, no htc allowed! So i used GIMP + DBP Batch Processor (http : // members . ozemail . com . au /~hodsond /dbp.html -- no url's for new xda members i guess, sorry) and just cropped the image height down to 400, which dropped off the HTC.
zip attached
Thank you very much for the animation, looks awesome

You will need to keep this plugged in, as there is apps crashing and no power management feature yet, so battery burns quickly. The only thing you can do with it is interact with it via adb shell.

To go back, just flash the CM10.1 pack

And I've narrowed it down to one error

Now booting. Need to correct resolution.

How to edit resolution instructions added, let me know if you find a magical number.

Resolution settings should now be listed and they look great.

This sounds pretty awesome. Great work giveen! I'm going to give this a go this weekend when I have some more time. Out of curiosity what kernel are you using? When a few of us ported desktop ubuntu to the nook color we were able to use a pre existing kernel(nookie froyo kernel I believe, though I'd have to dig through a few hard drives to be sure) which saved us some headaches in the beginning)
Keep it up, loving your work
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Kernel is stated above, its my custom CM10.1 kernel developed by DJ_Steve and I

There has been no update on this because I am waiting for a new SD card to arrive so I can flash stuff.
