Anyone know how to change color and shape to the lock button without installing a whole theme? I like the way my phone looks now and have worked hard to get it like this. I also like where the lock button is located on the screen but i would like to change color to it and maybe even shape.
And also, anyone know how to change the "slide" text?
Any help with links/cabs or other info would be much appriciated.
Here's a pic of the how it looks now..
I wish I knew the answer. I has something to do lockscreen .cpr files in windows.

I don't know what to say mate. It's always worked for me. Perhaps ask on the HDWall thread and see if they can help there.
I've used this on the last 2 devices I've had, so there's obviously some reason why it's not working for you.
I know what I did wrong, I forgot to install Co0kiemonsters patch. Working great now, just the music tab got bit weird but I can live with that.

That's something you do in HDWall I believe.
I uploaded them for you, put them in \Windows. Save the old ones somewhere so you can go back if something goes wrong.

The only thing (I think) you can do is to remove the thing so the GPS isn't tracking where your location is. I got one with my city manually added and a one called "my place" which is not showing weather at all, I love it.
FIrst off! Everyone is simply awesome!!!!! The threads get a bit overwhelming since i cannot watch all day long. I have tried to search and start to find things but this topic just kinda falls off without me finding a fix, if there is one.....
I removed the htclockscreen.apk and the attached image is what i get. is there a way to fix without a wipe and reflash as i have just about everything i want working. I know others have the same problem with this lockscreen which used to work fine in DCv1.0 .. I appreciate everyones hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Same thing I did...and I would assume you didn't make a NAND backup...just like me. Only solution you have is to reflash...sucks. Grab titanium backup from the market. It will put most of your stuff back. Only messes up a few widgets for me, and taking the off and putting them back on is easy.
Good luck!

I wonder if the lockscreen layout is setup for a higher resolution device (HVGA) instead of the Hero (QVGA). If that's so, then you could theoretically replace the XML layout files related to the lockscreen from a ROM where the lockscreen is displaying correctly into this ROM.

have you tried pushing HtcLockscreen.apk back to /system/app and rebooting ? or if you go to one of the modded DC roms regawmod (sp?) there are several customizations including the espresso rosie which if they did it correctly should include the espresso lockscreen so you can just flash it and get the stock lockscreen back. as far as how to get the vanilla android lockscreen going I can help with that.

I think I understand wht you are describing ....this lockscreen worked fine on DCv1.0 after removing the htclockscreen.apk and i was wondering if we could remove the correct file from there and port it over to this rom it would be fixed .......but i am just guessing, and would not know where to start
Just trying to not get this post buried....... I hope someone is willing to help see if there is a fix for this lockscreen.....I think I officially diagnosed myself with OCD....LOL
And do really appreciate any help.
Bret
I guess either too much going on....... or no fix........ I know this must be an issue for other people... has anyone got a suggestion or a "It cannot be fixed "
Thanks again for all the hard work and dedication!!!!!!!!!! Please help

I have yet to use the lockscreen that everyone wants simply because a. I had no idea it existed and b. I have no idea how to get it. if someone figures this out I am all over it lol. Wish i knew how to help.
the stock android lockscreen will not display right on new sprint 2.1 roms this has been stated in many forums already there is no fix
Guys, just use Android Commander. It does all the ADB commands in a GUI. Useful stuff, it is. If you know where to push/pull stuff and know to backup things before you delete them, you should really only need Nandroid to save you from being unable to boot (stuck on HTC screen, not bootloop).

I f you remove the htclockscreen.apk in this rom you will have this lockscreen with the same problem as it seems that it is setup for landscape or widescreen mode...... forgive me if i am wrong but i have a hard time think this cannot be fixed with all the awesome things that are being accomplished.. I will do whatever i can to help!
thanks a bunch!
I'm interested in this as well. I haven't messed with Android too much but I develop for a living. Does anyone know if the stock 2.1 lock screen is controlled at the source code level or via a configuration file such as an xml? If someone could point me in the right direction, I'll see if I could come up with a solution...
I am living with my deformed lock screen untill someone has a fix.. i hate that htc lock screen.

Hi everyone -- Has anyone found a working rotary lockscreen with the correct transparency settings? I found the "android.policy.jar" file attached and it works, it creates the rotary lockscreen, but it's fully transparent.
I'd like to get it to where it's transparent enough to see my current wallpaper, but not all the widgets and whatnot. It just looks sloppy as it is right now (screenshot attached showing what i mean).
Any help from the better themers among us?
Thanks!!!
does this work with CM6?

Sorry -- I should have done everyone the courtesy of saying what I'm running.
I'm running a Stock Sense 2.1 ROM, de-odexed, with much of the Sense elements removed. Basically a ROM of my own design.
So unfortunately I'm not sure if what I posted will work on CM6 -- but give it a shot!
ADB push it to /system/framework as "android.policy.jar" and attempt to boot.
REMEMBER to backup before any modification! I'm not responsible bla bla bla
I would like to get this lockscreen up and running on 2.2.
I have did some research and seen that it has been done on this 2.2 ROM here.
I have tried pulling the android.policy.jar from that ROM to no success. Can anybody help get this up and going on the Incredible running 2.2??
Here is a picture of it running on 2.2 also.
I got it working on 2.1. I have tried to get it working on 2.2 ever since SkyRaider 1.0 and had no luck. Send me the android.policy.jar from UD and I will take another crack at it. I have never found a froyo Rom where it was working.

If this is working on Froyo.. can you post a link?
Any link to the working 2.2 version?
I too am wondering if the 2.2 version will be released. I would love this!
Ultimate Droid 8 runs this lockscreen on froyo.
http://forums.blackdroidmod.com/ind...3-ultimate-droid-froyo-exteme-800-incredible/
Shouldn't be too hard to use it with other roms as well.
+1 - I'd like to see this on 2.2.
What I want to know is, what is the music player you're using in that screenshot? The only one I've found that shows on the lockscreen is Mixzing...which costs money. I do however think the rotary lockscreen is awesome.
so throw me a bone
now im all new at this but is this rotary lockscreen able to be run on stock incredible or rooted and custom roms running i do like this design so let me knoe

The rotary lock screen is from Android 2.0. In 2.1, it was switched to the slide to unlock screen which is what is also in Froyo. In order to put the rotary lock screen back, it requires modifying the framework which requires root access.

You don't have give up the clock; just the alarms. There's nothing special about them anyhow. The vanilla desk clock gives you the same functionality.

I know, I know. And I'm sure I could port the sounds over. I ran your SR Vanilla ROM for a couple weeks and switched to your Sense version after deciding I just like it better - and one of the reasons (as silly as it sounds) was the clock/alarm look and sound.
I was wondering if talented themers or someone with the knowledge could update this method to work with current roms such as CM6.1?

I know there are apps such as lockbot that can change the lockscreen background, but I dont want to replace my lockscreen, I like the default one that comes with CM. I just need a method to change only the background wallpaper. Anyone up for this?
edit: ignore the "*rate" I dont know why that is there
it's impossible. others and myself have asked god knows how many times and always the same answer. it's impossible to do on the stock lockscreen, which sucks.

But I thought that CM uses stericson's lock screen? I think I remember seeing it in the changelog a while back, I could be wrong
Why not, should be possible in CM...
probably not exactly the old way, but one could add the background to the proper xml, compile framework and then you just morph the background what u want.
If I'm not mistaken, the Sense ROMs have this capability, which sucks for anybody using Stock / AOSP.
I would think CM had a built in method of doing this by now....
Well, I guess no one knows how to do this? =(
