Changing the "Slide" text in lock screen. - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

I have been searching for about 2 hours now and I can't seem to find a way to change the word "Slide" on the unlock screen. Every search i do brings me to that imitation iphone SLIDE TO UNLOCK imitatioN! I hate that!
Can anyone give me a registry hack or something to change that word?

well...maybe it's not a text, but a picture...

Yes. It is nice if we can customized to any text we want....Maybe with our name on it.

Okay, did anyone find out? I've been searching and I still cant find it. I'm pretty sure its not an image.

Pushing this thread back up. I'd love to find a way to change the text on that lock screen!

anyone manage to find the way?

Hello,
the file LS_Lockscreen_480x800 (Portrait) you have to modify. You find it under \Windows\Lockscreen.
1. Copy file to Storage Card
2. Connect HD2 via ActiveSync to your PC
3. Copy file to PC
4. Open with Notepad or text editor you prefer
5. modify following sequence
<Text ID="SlideToUnlock" Left="135" Top="620" Width="315" Height="90" FontFamily="Helvetica Neue OTS" FontSize="18" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Middle" InnerTextType="Resource" Text="shellresapps.dll,18149">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#00000000" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0"/>
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF"/>
</Text>
5a. InnerTextType="Resource" ->""
5b. Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" -> "What you want"
6. Store file
7. Copy file back to Storage Card via ActiveSync
8. Disconnect HD2 from PC
9. Copy file from Storage Card back to \Windows\Lockscreen
10. Soft reset
11. Enjoy
Note: Modification works similar for "Tap or Slide" (Text="shellresapps.dll,18150") as well
Kind Regards
Georg

Sorry, But I got lost VERY quick. Can you be a little more explicit and detailed. I got lost on finding that sequence since mines did not match yours at all.
I also cannot find "Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" -> "What you want""

@lemonspeakers
the cutout from file "LS_Lockscreen:480x800.cpr" is taken from the original
as provided with WM6.5. Values i.e. Left="135 might be different as
I´ve moved the slider to the bottom.
If you haven´t modified already the file you should find the values
InnerTextType="Resource" and Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" as well.
This you´ve to modify accordingliy.
a. InnerTextType="Resource" -> "" to enable own text ilo "Slide"
b. Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" -> i.e. "unlock"
I hope this makes it a little bit more clear
Regards
Georg

With what value's can i move the slider to the middle of the screen ?

Following section describes position of slider
<Slider ID="LockSlider" Top="16" Left="48" Width="384" Height="82" Orientation="Middle" OnPress="ShowNotifications" OnSlideLeftFinal="Unlock" OnSlideRightFinal="Unlock" >
There are few further option having influence on the slider.
i.e. <Layer ID="Slide" Width="122" Height="82" OnInitComplete="Binding:LockScreen,LS_Notifications">
<Layer ID="SlideDown">
<Image ID="SliderFocusIcon" Width="122" Height="82" Visible="True" Opacity="1.0" ScalingAlgorithm = "TriLinear" />
</Layer>
<Layer ID="SlideUp">
<Image ID="SliderIcon" Width="122" Height="82" Visible="True" Opacity="1.0" ScalingAlgorithm = "TriLinear" />
</Layer>
specifies the slider size.
I´ve to apologize, I don´t know them all yet. Maybe there is somewhere a tutorial for the lockscreen file available explaining all parameters.
Regards
Georg

Dude, why are you making this so hard? Can you speak English correctly?
If you can just explain it in terms of:
1) find the file "InnerTextType="Resource""
2) Modify it to ...
3) Find next file...
4) Modify that to....
How hard can it be? For some reason I still cannot understand you!
If someone else can decode what he is saying I'd greatly appreciate it so much.
I just want to change the word "SLIDE" on the lock screen to something else.

Maybe the explanation is complicated because the change itself is complicated, even if it is only a small thing you want to change...
Maybe if someone from Denmark can understand the explanation, the problem is not so much that 'kleiner_onkel' (bit of a clue there about his nationality...) cannot speak English correctly, but that you cannot understand English correctly...
Maybe you should show a little more gratitude to the only person who has made the effort to help you instead of criticising his English...
Maybe you'll be looking a while longer for a solution to your 'problem'...

I found the instructions pretty easy to follow - although on re-booting I get the error message "Open of EnglishUS failed!"... after that it does load Sense etc, and the text is changed as I wished. Would be nice not to have the error on booting though - any ideas what's causing this?
BTW, lemonspeakers, why are you so rude to those that spend time trying to help you. I suspect Georg's first language may not be English, but he seems to manage pretty well - most can follow his instructions. Perhaps you could converse in his mother tongue? If not, then please be more polite.

Dude!
Dude just look for the "InnerTextType="Resource"" and delete it (there are two of them so you got to delete them both), next
find the "shellresapps.dll,18149" and change it to what ever word you want (again there are two "shellresapps.dll,18149" on it so you got to change also the other one)
reboot

First of all... you shouldnt be so rude to the only person in this thread that has taken the time to tell you how to do what you want.
Secondly... if you cant understand his instructions then i suggest that you dont try it out as you will probably cause some damage by modifying the wrong entries.
With that out the way... here is a pointer in the right direction...
LS_Lockscreen_480x800 is the file you are looking for...
InnerTextType="Resource" is part of the code in that file you have to modify.

Well i say thanks to kliner_onkel
With his description and some comon sence i managed to move my slider for both unlock and missed calls etc.
And i also managed to delet the text

nice trick, i customized my slide text its cool. do anyone know how to include the long date in the lock screen so that it will show the date along with the day?

Make a backup of de full.home file and you can remove <plugin>...</plugin>
Every tag is a item so remove one and you can see what will happen.
You will need to remove

Large Menus Cab???

Anyone who has ran any of the great T.I.R. team's roms will know what im talking about. Im looking for a cab or way to enlarge all of the menus to make them more finger friendly. Such as when you are in your e-mail inbox, you press the right softkey and a window pops up with many options, this is the menu im looking to make much larger and all other windows like it. There was a cab for this for our tilts but of course won't work on my fuze. Haven't found a cab for this yet on the fuze and just hoping someone has it out there. Thanks!
Bump
With 35 views i was hoping to get some kind of response. A reg edit maybe if not a cab for this? Im so surprised theres no cab for this since these windows are so small especially for touch screen. Anyone who has ran any of T.I.R. teams roms would know exactly what im talking about. Only rom where ive seen these menus large as they should be to be more finger friendly. Thanks.
FingerMenu maybe?
no. FingerMenu is AWESOME... but I know what he's talking about.
Enlarging all the standard menu's. I don't have a cab file anymore because all it is, is a simple registry edit.
Using a Registry Editor, make this change:
Code:
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Ht=1200
What this does is basically increases the font of the popup menus... making them larger and easier for finger use. I've found this setting to be perfect. This makes it noticeably bigger but not so big that they don't take up the whole screen. Feel free to experiment though. The larger this value is... the bigger the font (and the bigger the menus).
Here is the code that I have in my XML for the UC that will automatically make the changes on first boot. If you don't know what UC is, then dismiss the rest.
Code:
<!-- Large Menu's -->
<characteristic type="HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt">
<parm name="Ht" value="1200" datatype="integer" />
</characteristic>

Thanks bro, finally someone read my mind! 1200 is exactly what i was looking for, huge difference from the stock 1000 it was at. Exact same size as T.I.R. team's, lovin it. Dont use uc or shasami. I enjoy installing all my cabs one by one, haha. I dont have any xml's or ever use the reg edit but now i will. I can remember this one though. I peep out fingermenu though.
i used Advanced Config 3.3 to change the font size of the menus in mail or txt or any menu for that matter.
Load advanced config and expand User Interface, then scroll down to "Menu bar font size:" and change value to 900
Also change "Popup menu font size:" to 900
I like the 900 setting i tried 600 700 and 800 and they were all too small
1000 is default for Standard size and i believe the stock roms ship with Large as default.
I'm also not sure if those options are available on the stock roms, I am using the new released htc rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478657
works pretty smoothly right after install and has no AT&T bloatware.
GPS works fine with google maps also. I tried it in Flushing, NY today and it found 11 satellites in under 10 seconds.
***** WRONG FORUM TOPIC *****
sorry i thought this was the one where people are trying to make the font SMALLER

could somebody help me to modify htc sense?

hi,
could somebody help me to modify htc sense?
i want to make these changes:
1. add more than 10 places to the wether tab.
2. use video camara ang gps at the same time. i mean to make a video and driving using gps.
3. change the lockscreen clock. (RESOLVED)
4. change only the lockscreen wallpaper, without change wallpaper of menu screen. (RESOLVED)
5. add more icons to the softkey bar.
6. add more vibration to the resco keyboard pro v6.
7. add vibration to the calculator keys.
8. to make the batery show the time left, not % (it is possible with spb pocket plus, but i dont want leave htc sense).
thanks.
no one wants to help?
Your not wrong mainly cos your requests could b done with apps but secondly theme stuff comes with custom Rom
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
shopsdesire, i didnt undestand your aswer.
i only wanted to know if itis possible to modify some things of htc sense.
i was looking for the solution here but there are too much threads and posts.
i dont think i ask something impossible o too much dificult.
i tried to add vibration to the calculator keys but it didnt work.
there is no file "VbrationLevel" in the Registry. there are only "defoult" and "vibration" and put there 0, 1 or 2, 3..6 doesnt change nothing.
i also tried to increase vibration for the resco keyboard.. it is also doesnt work..
about the weather tab.. i dont think it is impossible to increase the amount of cities to add to the weather option, it has to be some file to change a value, but i cant to find it.
i see here a lot of themes to change a lockscreen but i need the one for only lockscreen and not for all htc sense theme. i wanted to change a clock on the lockscreen, and use there the wallpaper diferent of the wallpaper of the menu screen.
i bought my hd2 a secondhand and before i reset it, it has a tomtom icon in the softkey panel, so it is possible but i can fine how can i now add there icons.
spb pocket plus has the option to change a battery icon option: it shows the % of restant time or real restant time, but i cant fine any apps to have this option with sense.
i sent my question about the possibility to use video camara during driving whith tomtom, but still there is no answer. does somebody know if it is possible?
PLEASE, COULD SOMEBOBY ANSWER AT LEAST A FEW MY QUESTION?
4. change only the lockscreen wallpaper, without change wallpaper of menu screen.

[Q] Title Bar removal

How do I remove the gray title bar for my app in the xml file for layout?
I cannot find anything I understand, doesn't error, or at least does not require a re-write of too much code.
thanks to anyone with this answer.

The title bat background is determined by what is in the ROM's framework-res.apk, not the individual app.
Go to framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi and replace the activity_title_bar.9 and bottom_bar.9 with the one's you like. Remember, these are .9 files, broken files may give you FCs.
In your AndroidManifest.xml add:
Code:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
To the <activty ...> tag
Example:
Code:
<activity android:name=".Foo"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" />
ah, thanks guys, the xml file edit was the one that woked for me.
On another note, I am playing around with the SkellyAPP to learn the pricnipals behind Java/Android structures.
How would I load in an image NOT loaded by the xml but one loaded in that I can re-assign placement based on random numbers so I can wrap my head around a "main loop" with action going on.
Sorry for my noobishness, but I learn by taking baby steps and I promise not to spam the forum with too much trivial stuff

[Q] Help remove the lockscreen clock background and slider text

Hi to all!
I am looking for a way to remove the semi transparent background behind the clock (spray painted in red and with a red arrow) without removing the clock and also the text that says "slide" on top of the unlock slider (See red arrow). Any help will be very much appreciated.
I have CHT 2 installed on HTC HD2. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi AlexGT1,
One question my friend, is that the CHT2's lockscreen or the windows one?
If it's the windows lockscreen you could remove the semi transparent clock background installing the cab. attached but I really don't know if it will works on the CHT2's lockscreen so use it on your own risk, OK.
I recommend you to do a back up first, please with File Explorer go to /Windos directory and find a png. file named htc_LS_TimeBG.png and copy/paste it in your SD card as your back up, OK.
About to remove the word "slide" is posible to do it but is something more complicate because you have to edit the files LS_LockScene_480x800 and LS_LockScene_800x480 which are a little delicate.
Anyway, I'm posting your pic so maybe another fella could help you with
Good look.
Thank you for your reply, I think my lock screen is the windows one (How can you tell?) I will try out the cab after a complete backup using SK Tools.
Thanks again for your help!
AlexGT
I tried it and it didn't work, I made backup, installed, reset phone and the background is still there. restarted sense, and it is still there, so I uninstalled it, no harm done. I appreciate your help though.
Anyone have another idea I could try?
Thanks!

The file "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" you have to modify. You find it under \Windows\Lockscreen.
1. Open with Notepad or text editor you prefer
2. modify following sequence
<Text ID="SlideToUnlock" Left="135" Top="620" Width="315" Height="90" FontFamily="Helvetica Neue OTS" FontSize="18" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Middle" InnerTextType="Resource" Text="shellresapps.dll,18149">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#00000000" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0"/>
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF"/>
</Text>
2a. InnerTextType="Resource" ->""
2b. Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" -> "What you want"
Note: Modification works similar for "Tap or Slide" (Text="shellresapps.dll,18150") as well
Or replace the attached file
How to install:
Before replace the file close sense (Start>Settings>Today>Items uncheck HTC Sense) then replace the file and enable again sense (not needed soft reset).
MAKE BACKUP BEFORE REPLACE
