Anyone know of any lock screen apps or mods that will show my battery charging percent. My current rom only shows a lightning bolt. I would like a percent number.
Thanks.

Try our "Ripple Lock" from the market. It has options and you can enable battery percentage
Froggys go ribbet
Widget locker is great too. You have to pay for it though.

WidgetLocker is awesome, and you can put your battery percentage right on the lockscreen. Totally worth the money.
I'm loving MiLocker and it's free in ghe Market. There are also hundreds of different lockscreens that can be loaded into it.
Attached a pic of my Lockscreen using MiLocker.
Yup, that's what my lockscreen looks like. Swipe the center down to unlock. Left side to open the Dialer and Right side to open SMS.
I love milocker myself tons of lock screens to choose from.

Widgetlocker is the best at custom lockscreens with widgets, sliders, and quick access to apps you want! I like it
MiLocker
you can try miLocker, its free.
Is there a way to either remove the language on the milocker cos there isn't a setting where you can choose your preferred language for date and time. Not hating on Chinese, but I'd prefer everything to be consistently in english. Thx

You can edit the lockscreen, it's a zip without the zip extension.
Or keep looking, there are a lot of English only lockscreens.
Look for one called Ash Bolt. I'll list more when I get home.

Perfect thx. As far as editing goes, what tools are needed? I'll also look into the suggested one.

Here are a couple. The one named FivePoint_eng will show up in MiLocker as Testing. I never went back in to change it.
Do not rename, just copy each one to the MIUI/theme folder on the sdcard.
Ash Bolt comes with it's own wallpaper, but you can change it in the MiLocker menu. Five Points does not have it's own wallpaper.

You need to unzip the .mtz file, then unzip the lockscreen file, inside you'll find a file called manifest.xml. That's the one that you'll need to edit to make it English only.
When you unzipped the mtz there was a file called description.xml, that's where the name of the lockscreen is located plus someother info.
Then just zip each back up working in reverse.

Update: okay I have the testing theme set and running well. Thx again for those. As for doing the language edit, failed miserably with that. I guess I just need to get schooled a little on zipping those files back into .mtz file formats. The couple of times I tried it, the theme doesn't show up on my SD card. Back to the drawing board for me.

So I've be thinking about this program for a while. Basically this is a desktop app that will apply your desk clock theme, optimize the pngs, make you a flashable zip and then zip align it all with one click.
All you have to do is change the clock's png files to what you want ( don't change the sizes), and then run the clock_themer.jar and the work is done, unless copying the file to your sdcard and flashing it is considered work.
Everything is provided, all the clock's pngs are in the zip file just download and unzip the file below and the programs ready to go.
Please tell Me if something doesn't work I'll fix it.
Give me some feed back, as I have future plans for this app
This is for the AOSP DeskClock.apk but it could be changed todo more!
D/L for my_clock_themer
So when your bored like I was today make a new clock with my app!
I might take it a step further and make it so that it will apply a theme to a whole rom but thats later.
Really no one interested in this? I'm surprised.
Can you flash from recovery
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
The program I have as a download is not a flashable program, what it does do though is allow you to make changes to the deskclock.apk and them makes the flashable zip for you.
Its a desktop app much like apk manager but easrier to use (but does less). When you unzip it to your computer you will see that the deskclock.apk is in the folder along with a folder of all the pngs that make the clock. You can alter those pngs and run my program and then you have a flashable zip (my_themed_clock_signed.zip) ready with your newly themed clock.
All you have to do is change the png and run the program and you have a new clock, your clock themed how you want.
I will try it out 2morrow i am still at work

Finally lol, thank you.
Just unzip it to your desktop and go into the clock_pngs folder. Then change the appwidget_clock_dial.png in your favorite paint program (gimp?) and then double click the clock_themer.jar (wait a second or so) and bam you have a new my_themed_clock_signed.zip folder with your changes.
Tell me how its goes.
very nice idea will check it out after lunch.. thanks

No thank you please tell me how it works for you. This might turn into a theme injecter, where youd be able to extract all the pngs from a rom and change then and then add them back. The program would do the dirty work.
would this do text colors also.??? like the ones on screen saver mode..???
This only themes your clock widget it was essentially my test program for my theme injector....your draw the pics and run the program and it will theme the clock for you.

Off of memory I think its the clockopia.ttf font in \system\fonts\ of your rom. If you take a font from your computer and rename it to clockopia.ttf and replace it then it should change your lock screen font.
You could also use the font flasher thats float around here, it come with several fonts.

So I've been trying to use ninjamorph to change the icons for regular apps I download (for example, the game alchemy). I load up a new project, and swap the icon.png with one that is identical in size. When I finish up the project and reboot, the app is no longer there - I can't seem the get it to work at all! All I did was change an icon. Is there something I am doing wrong or missing?
NinjaMorph can be finicky ... If the "replacement" .png's are not on the Root of the SD they "sometimes" won't load properly.
Also, when asked if you want to ZipAlign... say no.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I had problems with Ninjamorph, took me a lil to figure out, but I had my new icons in a folder called "Red Icons" and the icons wouldn't change. I removed the space and haven't had any other issues.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App
Its always best to move the pngs to the Android Themes folder created by ninjamorph. And don't put them in another folder. The icon will disappear after editing it but should return after a reboot. Try putting the pngs you want to use in the Android Themes folder though and I know it will work.

Hi,
So the other day I was checking out a friend's Nexus S. When he locks it the screen turns off like an old school tv. Does anyone know how I could get that on my S4GS? Let me try and find a link on YouTube to show what I'm talking about.
Thanks

CM7 has that too. I believe it's in framework-res.apk, but I could be wrong. Try the UOT kitchen. Instructions are pretty easy, but be sure you pay close attention to them

If you look in the market for an app called "screen off and lock" it will give you different animations for you to choose that will enable it. But all the app does is to create a shortcut of the app on your home screen so you will have to tap it in order to show the animations. It doesnt work by pushing the physical lock button. I know this might not be what you're really looking for but its worth a try as a work around if you want some lock animations.

Hi all.
I love the smoothness of the stock TouchWiz launcher. But one thing I absolutely hate is the FOLDERS.
The manila folders are hideous IMO.
I was wondering if somebody could mod a TouchWiz launcher, 5x5 to have the circle-style folder icons like the ones found in Nova and Apex launchers, with a stacked preview of the apps inside, preferably.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could make this happen!!
Cheers,
ED :highfive:

Was pretty happy with an app called Folder Organizer. Make your folder look however you want, make your app look however you want and stack apps in folders by label. For $2 you can't go wrong with this app.

The goal is to be able to change small things in some apps.
For example, there is an app called SnapChat which allows you to send a picture for 3 seconds and then closes the picture. In this scenario, I would like to be able to edit the .apk file to allow to stay for 4 seconds. Would this kind of this be possible?
How so?
Um....you can do this within the app.....stock....

You can change alot of things in apps just by playing around with them. Using Apktool or another decompiling tool, you can change alot in the res/values folders Theres alot of stuff you can play around with in the various xml files

use 7zip on your computer to swap out png's. change app's name from whatever.apk to whatever.zip then move it to your computer using 7zip open the archive. don't extract or unzip. navigate to res folder and open it. find the png files you want to change and insert your png files you want. make sure they are the correct size, in the correct format (png) and are named correctly. exactly as they are in the zip file. then close the zip transfer it back to your phone and rename back to whatever.apk i do suggest doing some more research before doing this. there are a lot of threads dedicated just for this. use the search engine at the top of the page. XDA provides it for this exact reason.
