ok so i know you can usually just use titanium backup to remove the respective lockscreen apk to get rid of the custom lock screen on android phones, that doesnt work on galaxy phones though. I HATEthe galaxy lockscreen. ive found some info on removing the samsung lockscreen from the captivate/vibrant/epic, but nothing on the 4G. Does anyone want to try to tackle it? Ive read somewhere that the same method wont work on the 4G.
There have been a few lockscreen threads but not just to remove the default lockscreen on the 4G.
thanks for looking
bump....anyone?
Its not that simple. You have to modify a lot of framework behaviors. I'm working on a mod but I'm stuck with one file and will probably contact hawkx to see if he can give me a hand.

thanks for the response, I know it isnt easy, I was wondering if anyone started tackling it yet. I found a flashable zip for the vibrant and epic, but we havent got to that point on the 4G yet. Hopefully someone can figure it out..im sure im not the only gs4g user who hates the lockscreen!
Actually, if all you want is the Aosp lockscreen, it 1 word that needs to be changed.

I don't think these special codes are something from Google/Android or they would work on other phones. I think these are Samsung-specific dialer shortcuts so any non Samsung-based ROMs will not have those dialer shortcuts in there.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I have been using the mms_cyan.apk
Found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901216
And have been quite happy with it, with a couple exceptions. 1) It does not show the notification on my lock screen like my stock mms app does and 2) found out last night than anytime I go to send an audio or video file, the app FC's. If anyone could help me either figure out how to resolve these 2 issues or if it's too complex for someone who had little to no experience working w/ apks perhaps resolve it and tell me what had to be done so that I can learn from the experience I would be greatful.
I have included my stock mms.apk, the mms_cyan.apk, as well as my framework-res.apk in the zip file.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I am using a LG-C800 on 2.3.4 if that matters
Any idea guys? And this may need to be moved to the Android specific forum?

Actually, just tested it and I can't send any mms with this app... can receive just fine though. Where would I have to start to make the mms_cyan compatible? Cause the stock mms app sucks horribly, cannot even choose what folder to download attachments to. Really like the one I'm using but the limitation of not being able to send an mms just isn't a viable option...

what its mms.cyan can change skin?
It appears to be a modded stock mms.apk with the option of a white or black background and with the black background the names on the main conversation screen as well as 'new message' are colored cyan as well as the default contact image is modded, really like the app and wish I could get some help to mod it to work on my phone properly...

I'm in about the same boat as you as far as skills go. If we can get dev attention to a ClorkworkMod recovery, then CyanogenMod (which I assume is where your preferred MMS comes from, judging by the name) opens up to us. The MyTouch Q is supposed to get an OTA update to ICS second quarter of this year, so it can definitely run the latest stuff-- even when bloated down with T-Mo apps and CarrierIQ. It's really a neat slider.
Yeah, after tweaking the phone some its pretty quick and love the fact its a slider... keep checking into the post hoping they will figure out cwm for the c800 but no such luck so far.
And judging from the original post where I found the mms_cyan, the OP has a lot of posts for HTC so thinking it was from one of those roms... but having no luck so far figuring out where to start so I can mod it to work fully on my phone.... not that I have any programming knowledge anyhow but... lol

Ok, so since I've been unable to figure this out on my own... I would gladly donate to whoever can figure this out so that I can have the Mms.apk that I want.

that black background is shared with several backgrounds on the phone, if i'm not mistaken... so changing that one will change more than just that... might not be worth it if the other affected files go transparent when you don't want them to... again, not 100% sure... but i agree it would look cool... i'll look when i get home but if anyone gets to it b4 me, please share what you did... i could add that to my themes
Sounds good and thanks. If it does change other backgrounds it might look good too. Definatly worth it to me.

I am running stock 2.3.6 and it is rooted. I am wanting to change the icons for some of the stock apps. I have done this plenty of times before with a couple of my other phones and i know how to do this. I am not used to Motorola software and i am having a hell of a time locating where these icons are stored at. I'm wanting to change the Text Messaging app icon and the Email app icon. Usually they are in the system/app with the app itself. I have dug around in this location and can't seem to come up with anything. If someone could give me a location of these two icons i would greatly appreciate it.

Using that app is for guys like me who have no intention of learning the guts of Android, but you seem like a guy who wants to learn that stuff so it makes sense you'd go about it the way you did. Glad it worked for you though, it's a pretty nifty app that can be used for more than just changing icons too, def a must have for any Android user IMO.
I like to actually do personal theming with roms by actually tearing a rom apart on my computer and changing things. I really don't like just getting things off of the market to do theming. It's a little too easy . Since we are limited with the a2 as far as roms go i haven't really got into it as much as i did with my infuse or my captivate. Once i start learning more about motorolas software ill get back into it. Thanks again for your help, that app is pretty good.

I have another question regarding the apk itself this time. I am a big swype person and I have a big collection of swype apks that are themed. I am wanting to get rid of any traces of Swype from being a system apk, that way i can install any of the swype apks that i store on my sd card without any hassle. Now, i have uninstalled the stock swype, i got rid of the com.swype file that is in the data/data folder. The phone still sees it as a system apk. Does anyone know where there might be a file or a text telling the phone that it is a system apk?

I have seen, for the Nexus for example, a way to remove/change the Verizon Wireless text next to the date in the notification pull down by pushing an edited spn-conf.xml to /system/etc.. but it did not work for the SGS3 it seems.
Anyone have another idea?
Taking it from your signature, it appears that you are already rooted. Since that is the case, it may be worthwhile flashing a custom ROM. You can take roms that are based off of the Stock TouchWiz firmware that came with the phone, such as SynergyROM or Bean's Custom Stock, to name a couple. If memory serves me correctly, those roms get rid of the carrier label. Then there are AOSP based roms, such as Cyanogenmod or AOKP. In AOKP, there is an option to change the carrier label, but you can only do it once.
Thanks.. but ROMS are not my thing, I like to do small custom tweaks, mods, hacks like this. I am sure it can be done outside of a full ROM, like the Nexus and many other phones can, it is just a matter of finding the right hack to do it. Heck, I know there is an app you can pay for that will do this, but there must be a manual hack.

no can find. was removed from market and all links references I find in Google are old. even ones here are DOA. App was last updated well over a year ago.
I'm not sure if it's compatible with the S III, but look into the carrier name change app by conap (xda dev). I think the actual apk was called ccname or something. You just type in what you want in place of the carrier label and it'll cycle through airplane mode and voila.
I used it for my Droid Eris without any problems. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for the S III.
