Lockscreens

I'm looking for lockscreen options and am very interested in experienced users input. Free is best, but it you know of a excellent lockscreen, let us know!
..... and thanks in advance.

To be honest I think the vanilla lock screen is great. I just disabled the HTC one and it was already there. I like being able to set vibrate with just a quick finger swipe. Plus it shows charging status when plugged in and any alarms I have set. If you do that, though, you need the Google desk clock for alarms if you use them.

lockbot is a program out there in the market that can do this
the only drawback is that it has to run all the time in the background...but it makes it very easy to customize your lockscreen

Do you have a link to directions on how to disable the sense lock screen? Thanks in advance!

Delete or rename the htclockscreen. apk

But that kills the alarm.
Or so I've heard.

That's what he said in his post (post #2).

How do you edit the HTC lock screen? I tried using ASTRO but since it doesn't have root privleges it doesn't work.
Could I use Metamorph so rename it?

You can solve that problem by using the deskclock.apk that ships with vanilla 2.2 instead of the HTC one.

I personally love the vanilla lockscreen with the Droid2 metamorph, it looks great

Widgetlocker is great too, you can add extra tabs with shortcuts to whatever you want, and best of all put widgets on your lockscreen. It does cost $1, but it's well worth it if you're looking for a third-party lockscreen replacement.
^that's from my eris, but it will look pretty much the same (read: better) on the Incredible

To remove the htc lockscreen use root manager if you're s-off

S-off will disable the security check, so you can flash unsigned roms from the bootloader. Just in case you somehow accidentally run an OTA or other official update and lose root/clockwork recovery, you can easily get it back.
It also allows you to modify the files in /system/ without rebooting into recovery.
Use unrevoked forever to turn s-off, the tool makes it pretty painless.

What font is that? I like it...the font in your first pick.

i flashed my incredible with forever and renamed the lockscreen.apk but today i dled virtuous 2.4 and when i went to change the lockscreen.apk it says its a read only file again. do i have to install forever again? i thought it was a one time thing

What I did (since I'm too cheap to buy root explorer and haven't looked into adb yet) is I just used Titanium Backup to uninstall it.

Honeycomb Music Player

This is the new music player for android its not done yet but it works. I've been using it for two days now and i havint had any problems.
Install through Root explorer
-Do a NAND BACKUP!
-Delete the Music Apk. found in System/App and replace with the new one
-restart your phone
-Clear the data on the new Music player through settings, Applications, Manage
Applications
-Enjoy!
Theres a cool feature where you long press the song title while playing and it brings up a menu to search the web, youtube, Pandora for info and video of that song.
Landscape mode is very nice looking also.

Cool.. ill check it out. Thanks much.

Thanks for the post jaysckap! Beautiful player! Works flawlessly.

Here's the video I saw last week of the new player:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glFiw1ex7oY

no lock screen controls but looks good. ill wait for official release

Anyone else noticed that after installing this there is a "Sync Music" option in Accounts and Settings?
We option nt from my ADR6300 using XDA App

okay, stock froyo 2.2 on LG Optimus P500 ...
my first attempt on something like that...
i'm rooted so i used rootexplorer and navigated onto "system/app" then, copied music.apk to my SD Card
after that deleted the original music.apk and put there the com.google.android.music.apk, after that rebooted my phone so nothing happened!!! :/
I have my backup of original apk at my SDCard so now im trying to revent to my previous state and nothing happens! My music.apk is on it's original location but i cannot use it ... i mean no signs of my media player, nor i can install it from that location... actually i have no media player now :/
So dissapointed, what to do? :S

am i the only one who this music app is lame?
id much rather use the MIUI music app.
if anyone can get me that apk then we'd be rockin!!

Clear the data on the new music through applications/manage applications, your music will show up after that

May be your particular ROM. I'm using CM 6.1 Stable and have the lock screen controls with the Honeycomb Music Player.

Oh, and does anyone know what this app is called Jumper Test that shows up after the installation of the HC Player?

Jumper is going to be for streaming media its not working yet

gracias sweet cheeks..

im running SR3.5 and it doesnt have lock screen control and it seemed a lil buggy while navigating thru songs, maybe because I have so many. I really wanted to use this player, but lock screen control is a must when Im on the go.

Hopefully soon we will get the lock screen control
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I tried to get drocap2 to take a picture of the lockscreen controls but it (drocap2) doesn't seem to stay running after putting the device to sleep and rewaking....or it's something I'm doing wrong, but like I mentioned before, the controls are there on CM 6 Stable.

thats weird? are you using an Incredible or another phone. Def no lock screen controls here. I like the stock music player sorta but its really bland.

Nvidia Boot Animation [8.11.11]

First things first... if you don't know what you're doing, I suggest you read as much as possible on XDA regarding bootanimation.zip files before attempting this to gain a better understanding. 2nd, if you break your ****, it isn't my fault. 3rd , make a backup for the love of god. Additionally, beyond this post I will NOT support this further.
Alright, this is the first time I've ever attempted to do one of these and it's a little bit tougher than it looks. I pulled images from youtube of the Nvidia gaming boot/splash screen and went through one by one, resized, retouched etc...
It looks pretty cool and I created a custom graphic at the end.
It was extracted from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhEEUkJL4iM frame-by-frame.
I added this image to the end, it "loops" for a second right after the nvidia screen and right before the phone boots.

I would included video of the whole thing but I've already spent a lot of time on it, maybe I'll do it later.
I use this with MIUI, not sure what else it will work on.
A sound goes with it, I got the sound from Avetny's animation thread, not sure who the original author was, but thanks to Avetny! You can also download the file from the MIUI theme manager if you're there, makes this process easier also.
Instructions:
If it works for CM7,, these will most likely be the instructions... adb push or use root explorer or equivalent to move bootanimation.zip into /system/media.
1) If you're using MIUI, first, download the nvidia boot sound from the online theme manager and also a boot animation.
2) Then, copy my bootanimation.zip file into /data/system/theme/boots (if you dont have the theme folder, create it to make the theme manager work in the first place).
3) Ensure your bootaudio.mp3 file is also in the same folder /boots or /media based on your rom.
All done! Enjoy! Remember to say thanks!

Thanks, it works on CM7 Nightly 103. The video size is a bit small but overall it looks nice.

Yea bit small but works on Weapon G2x rom
Sent from my G2x Weapon

It's small b/c the images are 480X480 and the desc file has the images as 480x480. So this will be "small" on all G2x displays, but I don't think it's really that small.
Anyway, here is a gif for you to preview it. The speed is close but not quite correct. The NVIDIA portion comes first and then the Android loops till the phone boots.

found that boot audio on theme manager on miui but i cant download? it doesnt give me any icon to download or install!
how can i download that audio with theme manager?

Make sure to create that theme folder first

Two apps recently popped up on my phone and I'm not quite sure from where.
One of them is called App Center and the other is called Game Center, they both have a similar UI
Does anyone know which application could have created these apps?

"Two apps recently popped up on my phone and I'm not quite sure from where."
Think the easy way to tell is get Lookout Labs ad network detector (playstore).
Scan your phone, it'll tell you which apps have 'permission' to change those types of settings, found an app recently on mine that was installing a search icon on my screen and air-pushing ads. Thing was the app wasn't doing this last week, it suddenly did after an update. Sneaky *******s....
'

I haven't installed any apps that are malicious. plus I'm well aware of the Air push ads.
What's weird is that the apps don't follow normal spam apps procedures which makes me think a legit app just added them, for instance when I pick an app to install it doesn't take me to a Web browser it takes me directly to the play store.
I'm thinking it's something that Go Dev added to one of there apps

I doubt it, but you should ask the GO devs about it.
Does not look like their app.
They usually name their apps GO _______

The Game center app icon is from the iPhone, which I know that Go devs wouldn't use, their good with their own icons. Might want to re-check. Are you unable to uninstall them?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It is GO Launcher EX
The answer is they are extra apps that come with GOLauncher EX...they just added them in a recent update.
Does that help?

I just wish that somewhere in there change log they would have mentioned something about adding the application's to Go Launcher instead of leaving us in the dark.

I got it to work. I went into my QSlide folder and looked at the size of the pictures. The majority were over 1meg some as high as 3meg. I removed everything that was over 1meg and tried it and it worked. Next I took one of the larger files and cropped it, added it to the QSlide folder and it worked. I'm up to about 20 pictures in the folder and its all good. Been showing it off to people and they love the look of it.
Would it be possible to add some settings that we can adjust? For example, randomness, duration, any type of effects as the picture loads on the screen (dissolve, fade), auto-start while charging.
Thanks again for your help and hard work.
