[THEME]Lockscreens for CDMA

I found out the hard way that this won't work for the CDMA hero (don't judge, I got my first Android phone last week) so I set out to port this to work on CDMA.
If you have some sort of custom these running, this may or may not break it, These are based on Modaco's 1.1
eViL Lockscreen Port:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Transparent Lockscreen:
Please do nandroid backup before proceeding
Attached is com.htc.resources.apk that needs to be pushed to /system/framework
One way to do it is by copying com.htc.resources.apk to a directory called lockscreen on your sdcard, and using SDK tools
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp -r /sdcard/lockscreen/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
reboot
Download:
eViL Port:
com.htc.resources.apk
update.zip Thanks to Thann
Transparent:
com.htc.resources.apk
update.zip
Enjoy

nice work, what exactly had to be done to convert this to cdma?

nothing too hard, just had to move 4 images from the original lockscreen into a CDMA hero com.htc.resources.apk

this isnt working for me, I get access denied if i type it like you put. I put in the command su and it let me do the first line, but then i get cp not found???

ruskiyab, if you want I can package all these files as a signed update.zip you could just run from the recovery mode. The lock looks good, and it would remove the need for command line work.

hook it up

For some reason I just can't upload to XDA today, it just keeps failing. The file is here so be sure and tell me if you have any problems.

Thats, I haven't really gotten around to reading about signing the update.zip files yet

Guinea pig approved, looks/functions great.

Did nandroid backup just to be sure, but everything works fine. Looks very good too!

I love the lockscreen. Would you mind if I include this in my Gutted Hero rom?

Ahhh you beat me to it. I was gonna do the same. I figured out how to port the themes and sign them.

Great work ruskiyab good to see other people joining in with customizing our Hero's!

Ofcourse! I stole your animations and Rosie, it's only fair
New transparent lockscreen added!

How would one edit, or create there own lockscreen?

Is the clear lockscreen the same as the one ratcom posted?
If not, can you provide a screenshot? thanks!
I'd like to know how to create my own aswell and sign the update too!

The screen shot is in the OP

ahh, thanks.
the site that is hosting the pic must be blocked at work then, because I don't see any pics in the 1st post.
I'll look tonight before trying to flash it in
EDIT: bvm, I switched to our wireless test network (glad I'm in IT) and I was able to see the pics. It looks like the same one ratcom used/posted.
Now I just need to lookup how to make my own, lol

This looks great. Thanks for sharing!

Any chance we can get an update.zip file made to revert the lock screen back to the original one? I did make a nandroid backup, but I'd rather not have to use it just for the lock screen. Thanks in advance!

[Theme] Stock Camera app minor theme

Hi guys,
Hated the original ugly stock camera so I very minor-ly changed it. Hope someone likes it or finds it useful.
Ugly stock one

Install by Pushing 'Camera.apk' to /system/app
Code:
adb push Camera.apk /system/app
####################
Working on CM 5.0.3
Wont work on Desire roms!!!
####################

Nice! I was waiting for something like this. The stock camera app is so ugly, i cant even begin to tell you.

Kepp up the good work!
Could I use this in my Metamorphs?

yeah sure mate

It is very very cool! I've installed it as a morph, to try and test it. Cool!

I've uploaded it as a meatmorph. If you want to change it in the easy way:
http://www.4shared.com/file/227573393/c7440782/Camera.html
m00m00:
If you don't like, that I've posted it, please say it. Then I want to cancel it!
I hope you like it.

Looking good... any way to have blue instead of green highlights?

Hups.... where? On my Nexus it is green as the original from m00m00.
Sorry, I don't want to get this thread to me... I only wanna help.
Now I've tested it again and it's green. I can't see any blue at it.

Ok i did adb remount > adb push and now I dont have the camera app on my phone anywhere.
I tried pushing it again and no luck any suggestions?

C:\Android\tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\Android\tools>adb push Camera.apk /system/app
1103 KB/s (627216 bytes in 0.555s)
C:\Android\tools>
Seems to be pushed correctly but I dont have it anywhere.

Do you have an explorer on your nexus? Like "root explorer" "astro file manager" or "ES File Manager"?
Then copy it simply to this folder and you're done.
Or try it with metamorph. Should be the same.
Do whats easier for you.

Yeah tried that with linda. and also using droid explorer. The camera app shows on my system/app but not accesible anywhere and when i try to open it throug hgallery it crashes.

Thats not good...
Please reflash your rom.
You didn't have to do a wipe. Reflash it and try it with the metamorph version.

Running CM 5.03.1 and NexTheme 1.8 and A2SD and it pushed fine for me, rebooted and the icon on my home screen was gone, but that was to be expected, i opened up the app tray and made a new shortcut works like a charm! thanks!! the stock one looks like a 2 year old made it during "art" in pre-school....ugh....i dont understand why the google versions of these HTC devices have to have such crappy themes!! i LOVE the Desire theme, even without all the sense ui crap... just so much better over all.....
/rant

Awesome! good work man, looks 100 times better!

What ROM are you on? I have a feeling your ROM is odexed. If so, do the following:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Camera.odex .
adb pull /system/app/Camera.apk .
adb shell rm /system/app/Camera.odex
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/
The first step pulls Camera.odex to your current location (backup). Replace the "." with "C:\bla bla" if you want to. The second command backs up your apk (but I think yours is already gone ). The third command deletes the odex file, the last one pushes the apk in.

Much better looking...nice work!

pushed... works like a charm! Thanks for your great afford!

pushed it fine using debian, thanks for the nice work

for all, who wanna have this themed without changing the whole camera.apk, here's the metamorph theme new uploaded:
http://www.4shared.com/file/b-RV9Zm6/CameraThemed.html
//Works on every ROM with stock looking camera. Also 720p. Not on Desire Camera.

[THEME] Cyanogen Themed Launcher2 from 5.0.6-N1!

This is the Launcher2 pulled from CM-5.0.6-N1. I have themed it (KANGING OTHERS WORK OF COURSE).
You will also get the black facebook widget!
This has the standard 4 or 5 drawer.
UPDATE.ZIP
apk until I get update.zip fixed
adb push launcher2.apk /system/app
if on cyanogen 5.0.6-N1 you should be fine!
If you get force closes do adb -r /data/data/com.android.launcher2

4/8/2010 - Colorized/cyanogenized the search widget, also edited the folder icon, now black with cyan android logo.
4/8/2010 - Posted update.zip
People are having some issues with roms other than 5.0.6test1. So to remedy that do:
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk Launcher2.bak so you have a working backup in case and don't forget to clear launcher data before pushing or after if you are getting fc.

how about a morph or an update.zip style?

I will see what I can do when I get home tonight. I did this while at work so I just didn't have the time.

no worries,just thought id ask.not fond of other method unless there is no other alternative.

Can this be used on a CDMA Hero? If not is there any way you can port it over?

I am not 100% certain, can you run:
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk ~/Desktop (if you are on linux) or the same command with c:\ if you are on Windows and then get me Launcher2.apk that it spits out. I am not familiar with what apps are on that device. If the Launcher2 is the same (I think it probably is assuming it is using Launcher2) then it can be used.

Any update? Looking forward to trying

Sorry school started back yesterday and I am taking 20Hrs this quarter, so my time is very limited.
Until I get time you can do this:
Download, Rename, copy to SDcard.
Open andexplorer (I am sure you have it if you are using metamorph)
Navigate to the Launcher2.apk file
choose it
select package installer, and Voila!
Just as easy as an update.zip but no reboot!

Tried to download but it says invalid file link

so if you use adb push and push the launcher to /system/app you get force close? that is weird because I pushed it myself this morning and it works fine. I see the explorer wont work I thought it would but I will try to get an update.zip made tonight. Sorry for the delay.

I push the launcher and had no problems works great. I'm om cyn 5.0.6 test 1

Update.zip posted!!!! Hope you like it!!

Update.zip fixed should work now!

I think the answer of my question is here http://geekfor.me/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen
but I’m a newbie and don't know what to do...
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS ERROR?

look for Jschisurf's lockscreen fixes in the themes and apps section
even a little bit of searching could have helped

Not Helping your suggestion.....

What ROM are you running?

The Default 2.1 from Sprint, and is Rooted...

I'm almost entirely certain they don't have that fixed yet. I could be wrong. Is it deodexed?

Yes, In my first post is a Link with a FIX but it doesn't show how to install or instructions on how to use that fix.

DOWNLOAD (pick one):
•Just fix the lock screen: http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock1
•Fix the lock screen and install vanilla clock. You will end up with two “Clock” programs in your app drawer. You MUST set your alarm in vanilla android’s clock if you want to be able to turn it off in the morning. lol. : http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock2 (you will have duplicate “Clock” entries in your app drawer. One for vanilla and one for HTC)
•Fix the lock screen, install vanilla clock and uninstall world clock: http://link.geekfor.me/vanillalock3
Then reboot into recovery, and choose the option to flash from sd. Flash the option you picked from above and then reboot. Should be fixed.

Did the reboot into recovery, Install whatever and Worked, but din't fix the lockscreen LOL

Are you using a deodexed rom?
Changes from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2:
•Entire rom has been de-odexd.
◦An odex file is basically a chunk of source code that has already been extracted from the apk and put on /system/. This is done to speed up the first boot of a rom (you know how your first boot takes a long time... that's while it is extracting all of these dex files) and also to save space on /data/. Our stock sprint rom comes with this odex files to give you those benefits, however it also prevents us from "hacking" those files and modifying them. This build has taken all those odex files and injected them back in the apk's. So expect a slower first boot, and more space taken up on /data/, but you get benefits from it such as the vanilla lock screen being fixed and live wallpapers in Rosie.
It was taken from here
I know the lockscreen fix works, I'm using it

If it's just stock rooted, then there's the problem. But from the screenshot you showed, the buttons on the bottom look like the Rosie from Flipz' ROM. Go flash the ROM I linked to and then do the fix.

[THEME] Red Dynamite - 2.1 only

I've been working in this for about a week and a half now and am about 95% done. I still need to skin some random things here and there and finish the boot animation I'm making. If enough people want this I can start putting up the files.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BAD HAPPENING TO YOUR PHONE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
DOWNLOAD HERE
http://rapidshare.com/files/415564117/Dynamite.zip.html
Requirements:
Root of course
2.1 ONLY - Haven't tried Froyo
SDK with ADB
ADB Re-signer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
Terminal Emulator
So far the following things are skinned:
Music
Pandora
Battery Indicator
3G Status
BlurHome
Youtube
Power Widget
Fancy Widget
Facebook
Google Search
Widgetlocker
Settings
Random Notification Icons (Wifi, BT, Airplane Mode, Silent Mode, Voicemail etc)
The Notification bar is based off of teenfaces thread here:

This is my first theme I'm trying to put together so take it easy. And if I'm forgetting anyone to give credit to let me know and I'll give credit where credit is due. Also I can't post the apk's for the commercial apps like Widgetlocker and Pandora so I can give you the res file to manually insert into the apk.

Directions
Unzip the contents of Dynamite.zip and put them on the root of your SD card (excluding fancywidget.apk and the Widgetlocker res folder)
Open Terminal Emulator and input the following commands exactly
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework
cp /sdcard/BlurHome.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Your phone might reboot a couple times and/or take a while to boot. Don't freak out just let it do its thing. After that you should be DY-NO-MITE!!
For Widgetlocker and Fancy Widget it's a little more tricky
Replace the Widgetlocker res file with the one I uploaded
Put the Widgetlocker apk and fancywidget.apk in the tools folder inside android-sdk-windows folder
Re-sign them using the above mentioned method
Open a command prompt and navigate to your /android-sdk-windows/tools folder
and adb install them and that should be it

I don't see a download link, and also, what is auto signer for? You don't to sign an packages with Koush's recovery.
If I
m wrong about anything please let me know.

Files to come soon. I gotta sign up for Megaupload or something. The autosigner is for re installing themed Widgetlocker and fancy widget. The only way I could get them to install was to resign them and then adb install. Otherwise I would get the application could not be installed error.

Yeah I'm gonna hop in that 2.2 bandwagon when there is a more stable version. I've seen a slew of problems arising from the previously released version. What images did you want?

Aw man! We need this for 2.2! I would totally rock this bad boy.

!
Dat shz it clean!!!!!! good tihng i got 2.1!

can u post up some more specific instructins on hos to apply the widget locker?
and is the widget locker the one dat adds the extra settings ot the lock screen?

You have had to buy Widgetlocker in the first place. I am not posting the Widgetlocker.apk file. Just the res file that contains the modified png files. Add my modified res folder to com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.apk and put that into \android-sdk-windows\tools folder. Then resign the apk file. And then adb install. The End.

ok 2 things.
1. can i use some of your pandora for UPgrade 2.2, I say some because im changing the app widget png to be more gloss black.
2.Also in pandora you didnt change the hdpi-land app widget png
3. got a new swype, wayyyyyy better than the other one, should work on 2.1 still
Trying to get music done then will do a new thread for 2.2. When are you coming to the dark side?

I'm probably going to 2.2 this week. Just not sure how to go about it. When I tried to do it last time it gave me some error about blur so I gave up. So for the deodexed version I have to have the other 2.2 installed first right? So that means I have to SBF-root-2.2 upgrade-deodex 2.2 upgrade?
