My first mod, the LCARS Lockscreen! Make your lockscreen resemble the panels on the Enterprise! Yay! Also included, the original files they replaced.
Ahem...
Anyway, here is a zip file of everything needed to make your own lcars lockscreen. It's a zip because apparently the cabs I had up here didn't work properly... Can't beat placing real files yourself, I guess. haha
-
Instructions:
First- Add files in the icons folder to windows\ directory in phone. Just the icons in the folder, not the full folder. Either use icons in the zip or install the icons cab file. Also, put the lcars.ttf font into the /windows folder.
Second- Add lcarswallpaper.png and LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr to windows\lockscreen.
Third, reset the phone and you're done!
I've also included the original files for what this mod changes in case you want to revert back.

I have no lockscreen mods, cookie's home tab lockscreen is set to the default lockscreen so it won't interfere, or anything aside from the memclock app as you can see on the top right of the screenshot so I can't guarantee it will work with any mods. Like I said, This is my first so I apologize if it doesn't work properly on your HD2. As far as mine goes, everything lines up perfectly.
Restart your phone and enjoy!
When you tap the slider to get your notifications, the calendar and clock disappear. I don't know how to keep them their the entire time. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. \
For people that have flashed their roms only, try either the cpr courtesy of SolShade posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7153849&postcount=58
Or the updated cpr titled "LS_LockScene_480x800 FLASHED ROM.zip" at the bottom of this first post. This one contains minor tweaks to SolShade's working version, plus with my anastasia rom, there was a gap at the bottom that wasn't black, so everything was shuffled down accordingly to fix that.
While I havent tried it out, it looks cool.
Grats.
Now to make an interactive home tab with a captains chair perspective of the bridge.
Dear,
i have downloaded and installed 3 cab. but its not showing anything but only unlock button beside start button only...
Sorry, rasumia. I've posted the full files, not just cabs, so they should work a lot better for you. Guess quickcab doesn't want to play nice with me. Anyway, also has the original files for a manual uninstall also, so no risk of goofing with your lock screen again.
Not somethine I personally would have, but still a great job with putting it together!
thanks for your quick reply...
i have tried as you have mentioned in the Readme.txt but still same problem. only unlock button shows.
i use CHT 1.7.1 with editor...could it be causing this?
it could be better if there is a final cab so it would be all easier for everyone... thanks a lot!
i am personally star trek fan. it would be very nice if we can have a complete theme with icons slider and lock screen...
i know its too much to ask but its just my idea...
I would love a full manilla okudagram refit, but that would be a lot of work getting the layout right... I would almost like to do that, but someone else would have to program it.
I have cookie's home screen 1.70 enabled but all the custom lockscreen stuff disabled, only using the default lock at the default settings there. Your signature says you have a custom rom, maybe that could be a conflict? Looks like in the logs that they did do things to the lock screen. I wouldn't think it would be much different than what I did but who knows. I wish I knew more and could help better but I learned just with tweaking the lock settings. I have a friend that has an hd2 with the stock rom so I'll know soon if it works on his.
huh ?
want to use this but dont know how to replace files in windows DIR, system says cant replace ??????
D.
Works great.
Here on my german stock rom there is no Icon folder, just copy those files into windows folder, the rest as statet in first post, soft reset and there you are.
To copy the files I've used resco explorer
The only thing that doesn't work is the notification button for missed call. I can see it in taskbar but not instead of button comm1
Live long and prosper

Which files won't it replace? The icons? Try adding the lockscreen480x800.cpr file and wallpaper and restarting. If it changes the layout to match the wallpaper, then try the cab here to install the icons.
When I did this originally on my phone, I copied the files onto the storage card, then with the phone, copied and pasted the cpr file into the lockscreen folder. I hope any of this helps.

Hey, great job.
Where can I get LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr?
Thanks.
Working !
weightlifter that file is in the .zip file from the first post !
All good here the .cab file made the difference, thanx !
D.
Using windows active sync for replace wont work but using fileexplorer works...
for i couldnt make it work yet still trying...
use .cab
rasumia i used the .cab file for step 1 and then did the rest of the steps and it works for me !
good luck !
D.
ok let me try once again =)
Sorry no luck at all...may when it is completed i will give a try... thanks a lot anyway...
Very nice mate. I hope you can get the notifications showing all the time, like you said. Also, it would be better if the taskbar could be either removed or replaced with something else of equal functionality. It just seems a shame to have it not fullscreen.
Other than that though, very nice indeed!
Incidentally, I used total command to copy the files around and didn't use activesync to copy the font, and it works fine for me.

I have the same problem as you have. It might be caused by Cookies home tab or the editor.

I turned off the CHT lockscreen and turned on the default lock screen (and then a soft reset, because that's what the editor does then). Then I just copied all the files into the relevant locations, as described in the 1st post.
I did copy all the files onto my storage card first and then used total commander to copy them onto the device, which meant that I could overwrite any existing files without windows moaning at me.
Incidentally, I do have both lockscreens working independantly. I turned the CHT lockscreen back on and that is now my default lockscreen (from the home tab menu, or from pressing the end button), but if I go to the start menu and lock from there then I get this lovely lockscreen
(I do then get the CHT one as well, when I unlock this one, so it's not perfect but at least I can see both of them working.)
hasn't worked for me, used the zip from the first post, when i lock the device i get the default unlock soft button and no lock screen atall

Hi,
I've been getting to grips with the rlToday plugin over the last couple of weeks, and thought I'd share my first attempt at an rlToday theme with you.
With the help of MortScript, I have created a multi-page today screen, switchable using the 4 black icons on each screen, and rotatable using the Rotate button (which will redraw the screen using the relevant landscape layout).
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, or if indeed nobody actually cares...
looks cool
Look really very good..really..
Excellent pictures! I have to try it
I have to try it

please do - I could use some feedback from people using it
Do happen to have MortScript? Can't download it, all links are dead. It's necessary right?
latest version should be this:
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&category=16&entry=85
You'll also need Sys-to-Reg from here:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=196
and rafer_weather:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=270
I'm not much experienced in rlToday, but it doesnt seem to "see" your skin, as the skin folder should have the file called skin.xml.
I've installed latest rlToday, latest mortscript, copied sys-to-reg files to /rlToday directory.
that'll be my own stupid fault for forgetting to put the default files in.
I've attached the correct zip file here (and in the first post).
You need to put sys-to-reg files in the mortscript folder, not rlToday - there should be instructions in the zip file (read.me).
this is my first psot and i8m a complete beginner is there a step by step guide to installing this?
Many thanks
first step would be to unzip the folder in post 1, then open the read.me file - full instructions are in there.
great help thanks mate
WOW! Really great work!!! (And I haven't even tried it yet...)
/Nik
Great work!!
Please, would love to know how you got RLToday to Redraw to a landscape layout????
I used MortScript. when you touch the rotate button it activates a script that rotates the screen, copies the relevant landscape version of the skin to the default skin.xml being used by RLToday. easy.
I love what you've done with your screen.
Look's like a lot of work.
I just want to know...how much ram memory did it eat?
I've never checked. I don't have anything running on my phone that would break down how my memory is being used.
Could you share the mortscript that does this?
All the scripts are in the theme zip file, latest version of which is in post 10 on page1 of this thread. You just need to look at the file in there cleverly called landscape.mscr.
HELP how to instal this theme
hi i cant use and show this them can you expland me how to instal copy file folder etc...
i have mort script and sys-to-reg but nothing
good work so nice
Loving my Fuze so far! Used the process to hard reset and remove the bloatware....not quite ready to take the plunge with a cooked ROM just yet...
On the home screen above the clock there is a bar that just lists the AT&T logo in the upper right. Nothing else. And because of it I have to scroll on my home screen to see everything.
How the heck do I get rid of this useless waste of real estate?
Interesting, I didn't even notice this but true, what a waste of space! I'm hoping for something like HCC, Home Screen Customizer coming back for Fuze, that was one great app!
You arent kidding! I'm a little bummed, my Tilt had more usable home screen space
hope some1 can find a way.
Two ways to do it:
1) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2796868&posted=1#post2796868 and aply the original TF3D theme. It will also change your orange to green in the theme though
2) use the diamond TF3D configuration tool and go you tabs and remove 'unknown'
choice 1 -Don't care for change of color
choice 2 - Diamond config tool did not remove the AT&T logo -
Any other suggestions or ideas?
sorry- i didn't read the top post well enough. What I did is get rid of the AT&T tab which I hate. If you look at the other screens of TF3D there is always something on top- the first one should probably list Home but I guess it's true- we could all live without them all entirely...
Unzip and copy this file into the windows directory. Let me know if this works.
Thanks

That file already exists in the windows directory. Thus, no change. Still looking at the "AT&T" gray bar across the top of the screen.
I certainly appreciate you trying to help -
I removed the bar using the customizer but I think that qt&t is reading it from the operator name which may never be able to get read of unless someone really customizer tf3d.
FYI - That's not AT&T's doing. Look at all the unlocked TF3D screenshots. It's the line that lists what screen you are looking at or the carrier if it's the home screen. It's in all the cooked ROMs as well since it's part of the basic functionality.

First close TF3D, then extract file into windows directory, over writing existing file. Start TF3D again. Logo should be gone. Worked for me.
I am losing my touch with this Touch (Fuze) -
Could not overwrite - got error message that basically said that file is write protected and I do not have permission.
Tried to delete the original and then replace - again receive denials.
I have tried to, using a registry editor, make changes to the file (make it able to be read; edit it; rename it;, etc) without any success. All attempts have been rejected.
Perhaps I could trouble you as to how to either overwrite or delete and replace.
Thanks

Copy the file to somewhere else on the phone, maybe like a temp directory.
Then use TotalCommander to copy the file into windows directory.

Thanks - finally successful in removing the AT&T logo - however, the gray bar remains -
I certainly appreciate the efforts that you folks have gone to.
If we could move the date up to the empty space, that would be good.
Am I the only one that has both the date and AT&T on that line?
I wouldn't want to get rid of it, because it would mean getting rid of the date.
I'm using a sprint flip-clock, but I don't recall how it looked in stock form.
Standard factory ROM.
I think what you are wanting to get rid of is what I've seen on here referred to as the top "curtain". Do a search on that. I've seen it mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it off the bat.
This removes the curtain: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261
Haven't tried it so I don't know if it does the trick
i've searched everywhere for some nice digital clocks, but everyone creates clocks with some really wierd fonts, or colors that isnt really my taste. So, i made a "concept art" of how a digital clock id like to use look like. (see attachments)
The clock has to be adjustable via CHT (i mean being able to move it around like the normal manila digital clock), so that i can use it in all screens, (Home , all levels, and lockscreen).
Anyone knows if anything like this exists?
if not, anyone willing to make it?
i used the font known as "Segoe UI" (light). Also, if possible, id like some extra versions of it, like the fonts being black instead of white, and an other one with having that black transparent panel behind the clock, using white for the fonts.
PS1:i know that the clock im thinking about looks horrible with the current looks of my phone, but i cant be arsed to change anything until i find a proper clock
PS2: i also know that theres a cab that removes the white panels behind the manila numbers of the clock. The thing is that, without it, the numbers got a little gap between them, looking ugly imo
I basically achieve this by mixing two cabs I've found here in xda
one is called
[Star] Segoe UI light clock charecters White.cab
and the other one is
Transparent Clock flippers.cab
you can find them here on xda posted by their respective authors.
edit: oh I forgot! you can use
transparent clock background.cab to get the effect you want
awesome! thanks a lot for ur reply!
Yeah use my cabs, but you will still get the lines its inevitable when you remove the clock flippers man
ah shame. i thought that ppl let those gaps there, so that the "flip" of the numbers looked better
excellent work with those cabs btw, they were exactly what i needed
I would love a clock like this also. Shame nobody wants to make it without the lines (from the flippers).
Having the lines kills the elegancy of it.
Hi everyone,
I get a solution to fix the problem with the flip lines but you have to be very carefully 'coz it's a bit risky...don't be panic, it works for me perfectly without problem and it would work for you guys too, just follow the instruction
1. Make a backup of the 7c60907d_manila go to your /windows directory and find that file, copy and paste it in your SD card.
2. Download the attached rar. file to your PC, extract the file and save the folder "NoFlipLIne" in your SD card
3. Using Total Commander or File Resco, go to your SD card and open the folder "NoFlipLine" and copy the manila file and paste it into your /Windows directory and accept overwrite (don't worry, you have a backup in case something go wrong)
4. Now reset Sence or restart your phone (as you prefer) and see if you like the magic
Also this manila file has a fix to get installed up to 20 CHT widgets too.
In case of any problem, just find your backed up original file and reinstall it back.
Remember, that works perfectly in my device, but I will not be responsible if it does not work well on yours or cause any other problems, so use it at your own risk
Enjoy it and please let me know if it works well for you.
Your feedback or just a Thanks button clicked is always appreciated.
Thank you for the reply, and your effort.
Unfortunately this did not work. I did exactly as you said, when I restart the phone, I get the original clock, with flippers, but no text where the time is. Basically the time (text) is blank and I just have the original flippers which flipe with nothing inside them.
I don't have screen capture software so I hope you know what I mean. I fyou want a screen print, please link a screen capture app.
I copied the original (backup file) to Windows and all is ok now.
My phone details are as follows:
ROM: 314 WWE (3.14.831.3
Manila: 2.5.20161330.0
WM6.5
Thanks again for trying. Any other suggestions?
ok, this s a little embaressing, I feel like an idiot.
There was no clock text as everything was white. When I mucked around and applied the 'transparent flippers' boom, the clock is just like the pic. PERFECT.
Thanks heaps. I have 'thanked' your post. Good job.

Hi again my friend,
I forgot to give you a hand with this one too, so here I'm again
For screen capture I use a great app that is very easy to use and works perfectly and with good quality, it is "Shake and Save" which you can find it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488990
Best regards.
Wow, brilliant app. Thank you x2. For the app, and the clock.
This is a little app I developed mainly because I got tired of changing all my shortcut icons by hand every time I wanted to try something new.
It works by a folder of icons on your sdcard and matching them to installed applications by name. For example, Browser.png gets mapped to the Browser application.
This is more of a test version i'm looking fro people to find bugs and try other devices.
If you are having problems:
Please send me your log by using the button from the main menu.
Known Issues:
- Very long list of notifications.
Changes:
- 0.2:
You can now edit the title of each app.
I have included a test set of icons, Token Icons, original can be found here: http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570
Now this is cool. Gonna try it out. Only thing is certain apps I like to change the name of when I create shortcuts with BetterCut. Like changing XScope to Browser. I suppose I could do those one by one with BetterCut though.
Adding name changing would be pretty easy.
That would be awesome!
Will try this one for sure
Works really great. It's convenient. Only work involved is naming the icons which can easily be done from your computer before you put them on the sd card.
Updated, you can now set title titles of each shortcut.
going to try it, thanksssssssssss
When I tried it, the buttons of the app did not work properly.
I ran into a slight problem. While selecting the icon folder.
Drilled down to folder.
Hit select...nothing
Hit select...nothing
Hit select...nothing
Hmm
Hit back button...nothing
Hmm
Screen turns black, osmonitor looks maxed out.
After around 5 minutes, maybe more, go into osmonitor and kill auto shortcut.
droid x
Froyo
350+ apps
I have the Droid Incredible, when I get to step 2 "select shortcuts to create" and I tap on create button nothing happens. I could go back to step 2 but I can't do anything on step 2
I'll take a look and throw in some log output data to see if i can find the problem.
could we have some images to test? I want to try this but I have no worthy images to replace my current icons
I added a test set of icons on the original post.
Those of you that are having problems, can you give me your device names and android versions.
didnt work with me
i choose the folder
n' then it shows step2 but nothing listed under it
although i named the icons really easy names ( browser, facebook, phone ) !!!
nexus one cyanogenmodRC3 rom
Did you make sure to capitalize the names? Currently it is case sensitive, perhaps it would be best to ignore the case.
Works on my non-rooted ( ) Evo....anyway we could get more icon packs?
Awesome stuff man =)
I will try on both my HEro and my Magic.

I have finally taken the time to try to get my icons the way I want them to look on this phone. I stopped developing my tweaking skills in the days of WinMo 6.5, but I decided to tinker with a framework-res.apk in one of Trailblazer's mods to swap out all the icons I wanted to change.
After sifting through many other themes mostly made for the Fascinate, I have repacked the file with the icons I wanted. I also blanked out the Ticker History button and the "No Data" button for the Weather on the Ticker. See Screenshot.
I am sure there is a better way to install this file, but I took the framework-res file out of Trailblazer's Touchwiz Accurate Theme, replaced all the icons I wanted in the file and then I copied it back into his .zip file. I was then able to flash the .zip file in Recovery. I am sure you can use Root Explorer or some sort of file manager program to replace the file, but I haven't had the best of luck replacing files that way so I went with what I knew would work.
I figured I would share my work in case anyone else has wanted a different look for their Continuum.

Awesome! I have one question for you though... You stated you "blanked out the Ticker History button and the "No Data" button for the Weather"... Are the blanked out so if your finger/hand/palm, what ever touches those areas, it doesn't open the damn address search (for weather) or the ticker history? If that is the case, I have been wanting something like this for a while, I just haven't had the time to dive into exploring this, and TrailBlazer seemed to have been working on it, so I figured I'd wait for him. Thanks dude!
I've been working on my batch so that it actually removes the buttons, like totally (not just blank images)... Finished it yesterday, just need someone to test it any volunteers? Lol
You can choose the clock color, softkey images, button remaps, hide/show history and/or weather icon.....

Yeah, I've had little luck doing file replacements on vital system files that way.
I took the .apk in the OP and overwrote that file in Trailblazer's Touchwiz Accurate theme .zip file.
I open Trailblazer's zip file with a program like WinRar....then browse to the system/framework folder...and drag and drop my new .apk into that folder....it overwrites...and I copy the zip file to my SD card and flash from recovery.
all is good from there
I wish I knew how to take files like these and put them in a new flashable zip file. I'd probably be more inclined to do more tweaking if I could
And Moon Shadow, they are just transparent png files. The buttons still function.
But I'm with you, I'd much rather have them be invisible AND non-functioning
Trailblazer, post up the link. Now that I have this thing working right, again, I'll beta
