Before I begin, I want to let everyone know I searched endlessly for the problem I'm having and have found absolutely nothing. I'm hoping someone out there can help solve this problem for me. Also I'm posting here rather than any other section because it seems as though I would get the best help here.
I downloaded all of fresh's different vanilla clock options and tried them all individually making sure to wipe data/dalvik cache and haven't been able to achieve the results I'm looking for. Here are the problems:
1. His vanilla lock screen works but not when I receive calls, only when I turn off/on screen. When I receive calls I get the standard Htc lock screen. I've tried everything I can think of including using root explore to remove factory lock screen and also going in through the adb shell. Both ways seem successful until I get a call and realize I have the same problem all over again.
2. The second problem is that the vanilla clock on the lock screen is blurry and doesn't look the way it supposed to. It's black instead of white and very faint. I've found a way to get rid of the clock in the lock screen but would rather have one.
Basically I'm trying get the vanilla lock that's in darchdroid 2.7 or one that operates in that manner and looks the same. I'm assuming that that's the original unmodified/themed vanilla lockscreen.
Oh, and all this time I thought all those vanilla lockscreen mods (JsChiSurf, flipz, and the Gregalous's metamorph) handled calls this way!
I would also like to see this. Just a pure AOSP lock screen with all the looks and functionality of the original.
I'm confused my clock in the rotary aosp lockscreen is white and when I get a call the arc from the HTC lockscreen comes up but that's what's in the frameworks. I don't know what darchdroid looks like cause I've never tried it. I prefer sense roms.

I prefer Sense based roms as well after having numerous problems with dd 2.7 I ran out of patience. Plus fresh is running incredibly smooth for me. But the vanilla lock screen on that rom is neat because it's made so that it comes up all the time in similar fashion to phones that come stock with vanilla such as the original droid. This means that when you get a call to answer/unlock the vanilla lock screen comes up as well. No Sense lock whatsoever. Also I believe that it's themed so it's not completely clear but only semi transparent so that you can tell the lock screen is there. Lol I'm probably not doing a good job at describing it and don't have any screen shots since I"m not using dd 2.7 anymore.
Below is a thread from a while back about putting aosp apks on Sense based roms and you (Papa) have a post that you signed the zips so that they could just be flashed on instead of pushed. I wonder if this is possible with the vanilla lock screen? I figured if anyone would know it would be you or jschisurf. I extracted dd 2.7 rom and looked through the individual files for the lock screen but since I don't know what I'm doing (I've programming illiterate) I didn't see anything.

It will have to be done differently. Its not an app. Its in the android.policy file in the frameworks folder. I'm not great at classes.dex edits. IR bet is to ask jschisurf. He's the man when it comes to those edits

You might want to check out WidgetLocker if you haven't heard of it. It's $1.99 and really customizable.. here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732986
And here's a video review of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9InDlQTy5lY At 5:15 it looks like you can get the exact AOSP lock functionality as well as static wallpaper. Then it's just up to you to find the clock widget you like..
Ok thank you. I will pm him and see what happens.

c00ller, thanks so much for finding this app!!! I downloaded it already and it's awesome! The only thing I wish it could do is replace the answer call drag down bar as well which is part of what I was looking for. This is great though! I wouldn't have know about it otherwise.
No prob I'm actually thinking of getting it myself. I agree though, it would be perfect if it also showed slide to answer a call
1. His vanilla lock screen works but not when I receive calls, only when I turn off/on screen. When I receive calls I get the standard Htc lock screen. I've tried everything I can think of including using root explore to remove factory lock screen and also going in through the adb shell. Both ways seem successful until I get a call and realize I have the same problem all over again.
is there any way to make the receive call the same as the lockscreen?
The in call lockscreen is mutually exclusive of the standard lockscreen, and thus why deleting HtcLockScreen.apk has no impact on the in call lockscreen that displays.
The problem is, the in call lockscreen is controlled by Phone.apk. If it were possible to simply load the AOSP Phone.apk, it would likely work, but I don't think it is that easy, as there would likely have to be major "surgery" to the .apk to integrate into the HTC framework, etc.
The other option is to try and take the elements of just the AOSP Phone.apk file that control the in call lockscreen and incorporate them into our (HTC Phone.apk). Either way, a lot of work, I'm guessing, would be required to make it happen.
So, long story short, this isn't technically a lockscreen issue at all, but a Phone.apk "issue" to address, if possible.
I haven't taken the time to see what it may involve, and haven't even tried to see if an AOSP Phone.apk would load, out of the box (doubt it), but that's the starting point for anyone interested in tackling it.

By judging from your work i can see that you are quite good at these, would you mind if you could help us out? i guess a lot of people would want this
Jschisurf, thank you for your feedback! I knew if anyone might have an idea it would be you based on the numerous threads involving your work. I wish I could take what you said and begin tackling it however, I've got no skill in this area. The most I could do is offer you or anyone who can do this a small donation to tackle it and can get it working. However, that being said, I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass this would be based on what's involved so I'm not going to push it.
I've tried to load aosp phone.apk in past but no go

edit: fixed, figured it out, im a newb to forums
i was poking around the evo forum for my friend and discovered miui. if you dont know it is a chinese rom that has been built for many snapdragon htc phones and translated into engrish.
it takes some of the better aspects of the iOS like the visually apealing menu skins and layouts and the thumbnail folder icons, has a dock much like iOS with drag and drop icons and no app drawer that can hold 5 apps.
apparently also has a secondary launcher that can come from the top of the screen presumably when you hit the home button that is like a standard android launcher.
has a unique app drawer that slides halfway down and tumbnails of the home screen pages pop up so you can move multiple apps to multiple screens without the drawer auto closing and a need to reopen for each app.
^this drawer is for widgets there is no app drawer, that can be fixed by putting apps in a folder and putting the folder on the launcher like an iphone.
it still has the android pull down notification bar and apparently has a scolling dock with toggles as well
i would love to see a port and some themes to go along with it. or a launcher/home app with some features borrowed.

also they have a browser that is apparently not with the rom that is said to be good.

I played with this rom on the Nexus, it's fantastic, extremely smooth, better battery then cyanogen, very nice overall feel.
I'd love to have this ported over to our galaxys
i love miui. i have i on my n1. my friend has a cappy, he would love to see it on the cappy. i was thinking about making a [idea] post in the dev forum. see if anyone has thought about it. i figure when froyo comes out for the cappy that there may be a port. i wish i knew how to dev for android.

i think the i-9000 guys are working it. i cant code, or dev. i dont like to make requests that i cant contribute to. i was just hoping if people see this then some of our devs might jump in. i think the great aosp work being done will help pave a road for this. but we dont even have a working true aosp rom yet. although designgears did get many aosp apps working in his dev rom.
if we could get some of the features even if we needed a samsung dialer and other apps a hybrid rom would be cool. the widget tray is a great idea. although i like the android app drawer, especially the galaxy s scrolling alphebetical list implementation (i can scan a column pretty good, i cant scan a page very good), this rom has features that i think would be great.
I want it ..
I want. Please.
Perhaps some of you will disagree with me but the SK4G stock lock screen blows. I have a burning desire to replace it with something that doesn't remind me of a broken windows and make me read to tell time.
So far I've tried the market apps and have not been satisfied with that route. Some of them are beautiful, but none the less they all feel like hack jobs and none of them allow you to use a pattern/pin/password unlock code.
I do know that it is possible to change the lock screen at the OS level. I feel that this is the correct route to implement a graceful, functional, lock screen mod.
I also know that is has something to do with the following files:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
I've already spent some time crawling through the SMALI files of android.policy.jar (specifically LockPatternKeyguardView.smali) and I've been comparing it to its brother in the SGS.One thing I noticed about LockPatternKeyguardView.smali in the SK4G is that it is much bigger than its SGS brother.
I've been able to identify a whole bunch of statements that reference the Sidekick unlock screen SMALI files. I also see that android.policy.jar for the SK4G contains SMALI files for both the puzzle and glass unlock screens. This suggests to me that I should be able to enable these by modifying android.policy.jar.
My questions are:
Where can I go to get aquainted with the SMALI syntax?
What do the other two files do? I've seen these mentioned a lot in theme development but do not understand what parts of them play into the functionality of a lock screen or if they play a purely cosmetic role.
Is LockPatternKeyguardView.smali the correct file to play with?
Am I missing other files I should modify?
Why do the names of the SK4G SMALI files not map perfectly to what appear to be calls to them in the LockPatternKeyguardView.smali?
Am I completely wrong in my approach?
Thanks everyone for reading and for your input.
I've been working on this today, as I would also like to see the stock lockscreen on this phone instead of the sidekick lockscreen. I'm working on it, but as you have found, Samsung changed some stuff up to screw with us. android.policy.jar is where you want to look to change the lockscreen style.
Framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk are used for theming, as they contain most of the images used in system applications, such as icons and lockscreen images.
I do believe that what we are looking for is in LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali, but I cannot confirm this, as I am not a pro-dev.
you can try the nolock app from the app market but what sucks is its always running so its using batter and cpu :/
ill keep digging and trying to figure it out
I don't suggest any of the fake lockscreen apps, as they just glitch and have more issues than they're worth. I'm working on it, and I'll figure it out one way or another. I just need to talk to Dr. Honk again to see if he has any more suggestions on where it might be, as the settings are slightly different from the sgs4g where I was looking to port it from.
A day or so ago I discovered this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779803
This thread talks about the same modification but for the SGS instead of the SK4G.
The focus of this one specifically is the getLockScreenMode()Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/LockPatternKeyguardView$LockScreenMode; method in LockPatternKeyguardView.smali.
The changes are easy to see, I just don't quite understand what's happening.
This method also happens to be quite different in the Sidekick than the one from the SGS. Again, I don't quite see what those differences mean yet.
I'll post the code before and after modification when I get home later tonight so folks down have to go downloading.
I'm working on this, have AOSP working as one of the 9 of the 9 lockscreen mod. It will be posted when it's done.
You can also use widgetlocker its pretty cool not that laggy didn't waste much battery there's diffrent themes and you can customizer the sliders, or it can drag down, many options.

As I said in my previous post, I'm working on porting the 9 lockscreen mod, so I just looked at the differences in the source for the original 9 lockscreen mod, and tried adding them into our rom parts. I'll release it when I've got everything working correctly.
I see you got the mod working. Congrats and good work! How did you do it?
I just looked at the source from Whitehawkx's 9 lockscreen mod and tried to make it work as best I could. I got the changes to the lockpatternkeyguardview smali, but only the puzzle and aosp lockscreens were compatible with our phone. If/when I finish the AOSP project, it should be much easier to port all 9 locks. So for now, I'm discontinuing the 9 lock porting project, until I get further along in the AOSP project.

Sorry if this is the wrong place or if it's already been discussed. I did my best to search for it.
My wife prefers the puzzle lockscreen but it seems like that's gone with Gingerbread? Is there any way to get that back? I'm running Infused 2.2.3 right now and I guess that uses TWLauncher 3.0. I also quickly checked out the TW 4.5 here in the forums but didn't see anywhere to change the lockscreen.
I know MIUI and CM7 support this but the wife doesn't like those. She wants pretty much stock rooted but she wants the puzzles. LOL
I'm going to try extracting the launcher from Infused 1.5 and see if that will work but didn't know if there was another solution.
Thanks
Loco screens are in the frame work, the puzzles on the captivate, infuse, i9000, and some other gsm phones are only for call and text notifications. The puzzle unlock is a fascinate thing, but can be added to i9000 roms. I'm sure its possible to add an infuse but nobody has tried.
If it is the glass unlock you are talking about and you have aosp unlock instead then that's a ROM specific thing. I know glass unlock used to be default and there was an update you could flash for aosp but that may have changed, not sure right now.
The re launcher is only a part of the interface, there are Samsung specifics in the framework as well. Don't think everything touch wiz is in the launcher.
I appreciate the response. I don't know much about this stuff. Actually, I think the lockscreen we have now is called glass but it's different than the puzzle version. It's definitely not the AOSP lockscreen. This one has tabs on the side that show up when an SMS or call is received instead of the puzzle pieces.
I took the launcher apk from Infused 1.5 but it wouldn't even install. So you're saying maybe I should look in the framework folders?

That's the SGSII lockscreen. What ROM are you running? You might be able to change the lockscreen to Glass or Puzzle in the display menu or by using an app like the EDT tweaks app to change it.

Yeah, I think I remember reading now that this lockscreen is from SGS II. I'm running Infused 2.2.3. I checked the menus and didn't find anything.
Hamm...never heard of EDT Tweaks before but I found an apk for it and installed it but the "lockscreen options" menu is disabled.
It seems that Infused v2 only has the SGSII lockscreen based on the thread.

I can't thank you - because I ran out for the day, but i'm going to post a link to this in my thread.
You just probably solved the issue of adding additional themes to my ROM that I was unsure of how to do - if you still have all the stock themes from T-Mo/HTC as well.
Do you?
If so - you are the man!
I still do, when I set the new theme the icons you changed take a reboot to take effect, and of course htc bits don't get skinned but its a start!
when you set a theme when you go back to theme chooser it forcecloses a few times. but i was able to set a few different themes =]

Fantastic - I linked to this post from my ROM thread.
Looks like you cracked the nut open, and now it's time to sort the tasty bits from the shells.
I really appreciate you posting this find - keep us updated on what you come up with.
I'm going to spend a little time cleaning up the GPS thread I got going in dev, then jump back to Bulletproof - you've motivated me to do more work on the graphics/themes now instead of waiting.
Since it seems everyone is pretty stable on 1.1, i'll take this rest period to spend some more time graphically cleaning things up and see what I can do to get more themes added to the ROM.
I am certainly going to make a few more lockrings today - I have made and tested some using different shapes besides the ring and they work out well without problems.
I'll bang out some of those rings, then slide right into working on themes and probably cruise that avenue of development until sunrise.
I actually have to go out in the world and do some stuff tomorrow, but you've got me really excited and motivated.
If you clear cache and dalvik-cache before trying to load themes, you'll suffer less force closes on the theme chooser - let me right now make you a flashable zip i'll attach to this thread to uninstall and re-install the theme chooser and clear caches for you.
If you flash that after the new themes are on the device, it should reset the theme chooser and prevent the force closes - give me ten mins or so and i'll have it up here for you.
Dude - when I get my thanks button back you're getting some!
Edit:
Looks like I have the themes mod still up on my host for when I added the stock themes back in to the ROM when people wanted them before 1.1 - just flash this and it should solve your theme chooser problems.
Make a nandroid first - but let me know how this works for you.

I flashed the zip. When i open theme chooser all the previews are blank. I figure this is because since they were not built to preview the themes. After applying a regular mytouch theme all the previews are there. It seems like the gesture of sliding through the previews makes them forceclose oddly enough. Sliding slowly produces no forcecloses. And when using a system theme, fast slides work fine. Im guessing there are effects missing in the cm7 themes present in htc themes

Okay - good to know and thanks for the information.
We're kinda wandering through uncharted territory as far as my knowledge base goes - while some more veteran devs may be able to handle this off the top of their head to me it's all new.
All the little tidbits of info you are providing is helping a ton - I don't have a copy of CM7 for this device, so to download it now would knock me offline.
I am, however, running CM7 on my Nook Color, which is sitting right here, so now that i've got the GPS thread handled i'm gonna see about pulling some stuff from it and getting a start on this.
I am flashing a fresh copy of 1.1 to my dev phone as I type this.
I will not be including any CM7 themes in my Bulletproof release without direct permission from them. I've asked and received permission to use some of their work in the past - which never came about because it was when I was going to take over CK23's ROM. That obviously didn't go anywhere so neither did the need to use some of their work then.
They are great people and the only request they made was to give them credit for the works of theirs I used. That being something that's important to me - as seen in my ROM thread - I don't see it being a problem to use their themes...
... but not without asking, and if they decide they do not want me to use their themes in my ROM it's not gonna happen... and no hard feelings if they say no - for all they've done for the dev community the least the rest of us can do is respect their wishes.
For the time being, i'll be using their themes to test some stuff out and see how it all works - but again, any public release is dependent upon their permission. With the attention that whole team is putting to ICS I don't expect to get any kind of answer any time soon.
I think It would be a good idea to use the themes to knock the kinks out of using cm7 themes, and build that modified version of theme chooser into bulletproof. I that way we could use the themes with no issues and just go find and download them on our own.

I like this idea too. Figuring out what's missing from either the two theme-chooser/manager.apk files or the themes themselves so people can find their own themes is definitely important.
My goal for Bulletproof was to distribute it with about 20 themes to start on a fresh install - we gotta do something with all that free internal memory available now.
You've definitely paved the way for that dream to become a reality with this discovery and the supporting information you've been supplying since - I can't thank you enough for this.
I love the open source philosophy, curious people, and the home XDA has made for us to share awesome stuff like this - I just can't contain my level of excitement right now and am bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm.
It really is amazing, I'm just glad to have a mysense rom with awesome themes like honeycomb and gingerblur.
I think the themes themselves are missing the animations compatible with htcs theme engine.
The normal one doesn't bounce around with card like themes. I think that's the real problem, including which makes sense why it doesn't handle swipes well. I it doesn't know how to replicate the bouncing cards.

Could i get that honeybread theme, on my mine, without having to use another ROM? and if so, can some point me in the right direction? TIA

As far as I can tell it just requires a deodexed rooted mysense ROM.
Use mybackup root to backup your apps including themes and restore it them with data afterward
