I would like to know if anyone knows how to make the lockscreen transparent, so you can see all of the widgets update in the background without actually unlocking the phone.
I have tried different applications, and I don't like any of them. I had this mod on my Hero and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.
If it is just a couple of files needed to swap out, please share!
Thanks.

Dude I have looked into this for so long it is to the point where it pisses me off. Lol. I emailed a dev about it, I've looked and looked and looked, still no progress. It isn't like the sense ROM's, where you can just swap out the apk, you need to change XML files and some other stuff.
Yea ive looked into it for a while too.... i saw a thread a while back and it looks like JS did it for another device... might wanna PM him.

ninja morph may be of use just not sure which file would have to be altered
That's an interesting question. I never really thought of the lock screen as a layer sitting on top of my desktop. I just use Widgetlocker and configure it with the widgets I want to show up on my lock screen. Works great and the custom sliders are a nice bonus.

Yeah man I don't like using it because I just want transparency lol.
I emailed JsChiSurf because he was the developer that did it for the Hero.. But I haven't heard from him yet.
I tried changing the default_wallpaper.jpg but it didn't work..

Yes sir that is identically what I want to do. And I use the menu button to unlock the phone (no sliders). I think this would be sweet to do.

Its got to be an XML in layout of the frameworks.apk
im right with you man. i even pm'd a few theme creators who make them on other devices but have the clear background. one response was that it was default for his device to use whatever background you currently have.
im on an eris with the same problem ha

Just to let you know, its clear by default in an AOSP ROM. So, you might want to take a look at com.htc.resources first..

The GSM Hero guys have it working, figured it's probably a fairly easy port for someone.
Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676259
The working(for them) update.zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6806909&postcount=25
Example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vfXrqa0UwY @ 1:01
The Desire Lockscreen when swiped down slides only the bar, not the entire wallpaper+bar which results in a much nicer looking unlock.
Anyway we could get this ported over? I'm running Fresh 2.3.3.
EDIT: I tried pushing it via ADB. It works, technically. Only the bar slides down. However the graphics are all buggy But it is much smoother!
probably cause its a higher res app. Needs to be reduced to what the lockscreen app in our roms are at. Meaning resize the pngs in the app to match the size of our lower Res lockscreen app
whats so special bout the lockscreen?

No i was with him. I watched the video and didn't see anything special. For the time it took you to type this you could have simply told him what the difference was.
The difference is...in the desire it pulls just the lock bar down. Not the picture as well.
I would be interested in this.

I guess I do not know how to take this comment. I would like to think you are actually thanking me for pointing something out, but it definitely appears to be sarcasm. At any rate, I was simply pointing out that the features had been listed in text, and that if someone watches the video and doesn't understand maybe it's time for said person to read the description.

Wow this thread got real crazy real fast Anyways imo I think that since it's just the htc lockscreen in the update zip than i'm gonna guess that is whats going to need to be changed. I adb pushed it and although it is really crazy I still like it.

My setup
My setup. I only take credit for the dock background, battery icon, and notification dropdown list.
Nissan, is that a theme with the text instead of icons? Reminds me of Rainmeter.
I use LPP, but the icons are totally stock. I only got it for the twitter widget. That's the only thing I missed about Sense, but I don't have to deal with it anymore. I have a recurring issue that comes up every few days, where it force closes, but I'm not really sure what's causing it, and haven't been able to figure it out.

Well the ROM itself is CM6 Stable, I just tweaked it a bit by theming the Notification bar and dropdown list. The icons in the dock, however, were not my work. I found them while I was browsing the net for custom Launcherpro dock icons a few months ago. I cant really remember where I got them from though...
The desktop icons that you see (market, xda, etc...) are from Signals23's Neue theme which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799623 then I just used Desktop Visualizer (which can be found in the market) to add the icons to the desktop and used the widget resize function built into Launcherpro Plus to change the size of them. However, all of the icons in my app drawer are completely stock.
As for you force closure problem, I find that a bit odd. I don't use any Launcherpro widgets so I have no idea why it would be doing that. might be something you should ask in the development section. the guys in there are geniuses, unlike myself

Most people use widget locker in order to get a custom lock screen. It's a paid app though.

now if you just want an alternate lockscreen there is a few lockbot is the best but i will say its very laggy and half the time your system lockscreen overrides it
I really just want something that actually replaces the stock screen. Whenever up tried using lockscreen apps they tend to be buggy and... like you said, the stock screen overrides the app. I just want something flashable that overrides the stock screen, not the other way around.
I haven't had time to search for anything but will try tomorrow.

word, using widget locker is legit, paid for app but its great!! I have 3 different widgets on the screen and it's only not worked like once but i think it was a phone issue not the actual program.
Hey I was wondering whats the best way to replicate the iphone lock screen? Is it cm7 theme chooser?
You could try widgetlocker. It has the iPhone lock screen.

What about "Lock 2.0"? Haven't used it in forever (coincidentally, it was the first app I ever bought for Android - lol), but it was specifically made to have the iPhone style locking, as well as give it some personal flare.
Yea that's the one he's using. The screen is compressed and the slider bar is really long and skinny. I've tried it without any luck. I now use "no lock" and just hit any button and am on my main screen, I never really saw the use of pressing a button just to do another task..

I do this, except I use a passcode. I just wish android/cm7 will release a lockscreen I like. Rotary did it for me for a while, but it become almost too complicated for me. I didn't like that if I used it to change the sound, i have to wait for the thing to finish rotating. I just want something I slide and it unlocks, but the default sliding tabs in my opinion are ugly. I liked sense's lockscreen, but the cm7 replication doesn't do it for me. looks too... circular
Widget Locker is what you're looking for
