I just rooted my phone and installed Sky ICS 4.2F6. I'm having a minor issue with the new lock screen.

As you can see in the image, the clock text is REALLY hard to read with certain backgrounds. I tried choosing the option to located it at the top/mid/bottom of the screen, but no matter what I choose, it doesn't reflect it on the lock screen. Even having a font/text with a drop shadow would be "good enough", but I can't seem to find a way to do this.
Can someone help me with this?
Could someone at least tell me if this is normal for the Sky ICS 4.2f6 update? I'm really new to rooting, so I don't know if this is to be expected or not.
I can confirm that this is normal for 4.2F6.
I'm pretty sure the clock position in the setting only applies to tw lockscreen, so either flash a tw lockscreen or simply change the lockscreen background.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
yep. you need tw lockscreen. aosp lockscreen you can't change placement of the clock. when you flash the twlock, you lose the camera from lock option.

Yep, I just applied the stock tw lockscreen and it's working great. I'm bummed to lose the camera unlock feature, but not being able to read the time from my lock screen was much more of an inconvenience than that.
Thanks for the help everyone!
You have to edit a .XML file to change clock placement on the aosp lockscreen

Custom Clear Lockscreen -- Tutorial Soon
FIRST ATTEMPT
I've made my first custom lockscreen... I hope to put up a tutorial to
help others achieve the same "look." The best thing about this custom
lock screen vs. others I have seen is that it still allows for music apps,
notifications, etc to be used easily.
I also attempted to add the live wallpapers fix (w/o opengl) to this zip,
but unfortunately failed... If anyone wants to take a look and let me know
what I've done wrong that would be great!
I choose Purdue as it is my favorite college team/future university.

Nice! I applied it, also seemed to update my taskbar and rosie bar? You may want to note that.
I reapplied my Themed zip, so I got my taskbar and rosie back the way it ws before.
I will rock this lockscreen for a while, thanks!

Not really sure if its possible without a complete ROM but im a huge fan of the samsung galaxy s notification panel. sense widgets? no need, wifi, bt, silence ringer all right on the notification pull down menu. Is it possible for us to get a port of it?
Heres a pic if you havent seen it yet, reminds me of the WebOS pull down on the right side of the screen a little.

If you want quick access to widgets, try quickdesk. It's free in the marketplace and all you have to do to access it is double tap the home button, which brings out a drawer that you can put any widgets, apps, folders or shortcuts on.
this is one of the main things i miss from the pre...i would def. love that notication curtain...

can anyone confirm that this is a possibility though?

If only I knew how to cook ROMs then.. willing to thow some bounty down on having this, preferably as a flashable zip so I can use on any rom if that is possible, otherwise a full rom would be ok. can the framework be mixed with HTC's in a custom ROM?
This came out kinda kool I guess.
Not able to run sony home on custom rom or whatever & wishing you had the the look of the new home stage?
Why not make it part of the wallpaper, problem solved....kinda. Until you wana change papers anyway. lol - eb

On FeraVolt ROM this homescreen, along with all the other colours, is available to use and they look real nice
With the Home Stage flattened into the image???
Please read before you post. eb
Home stage? whats that
Really? Are you being sarcastic?
I'm not sure how else to explain it, dock maybe?
Just to clarify, the screenshots above (top) are the actual wallpapers themselves and not just a shot from a device of an empty home screen. The dock is part of the wallpaper and not removable.
Stock based users probably would never have much need for something like this as Sony Home is usually present.
This would be more for custom use with launchers like ADW or more particularly ICS type launchers where it may be hard to customize or change the dock. In the bottom shot the launcher dock settings are set to "hidden" which is usually the case anyway w ICS-style launchers.
Its really just a simple illusion I through together in photoshop.
Anyone still not sure what it is should probably just download and look at them. What is that they say, a pictures worth a thousand words?
Hope this helps, wasn't trying to confuse anyone. eb

As you can see in the screenshot, after modifying the DPI to something more realistic and not comedic, the UI adjusted perfect except it didn't center the all apps icon above the home button. I'm wondering how this could be fixed through maybe a mod or something.
I do not want a new launcher that doesn't have Google Search built in. Its not the same stock experience. Any idea what I should do?

Depends what you are trying to do. Are you trying to get more docked icons at the bottom, or the main grid on the launcher. Basically, what I did is I changed my DPI to 439 (wanted 445, but notifications get cut off in the pulldown bar). This is ideal for me and gives me an app drawer grid of 5x6. However, the launcher grid stayed the same, so I used the Launcher Tweaks settings in Gravity Box to customize the launcher grid to 5x5. Now, I still only have 4 apps in the dock tray on the bottom (plus the app drawer icon in the middle), but I do have a 5x5 grid on the homescreen. It looks like it came from the factory this way.
Hi all,
Is there ANY known way to make the lockscreen transparent? I use the tapet wallpaper app and I would love if my main wallpaper is visible when I turn my screen on
~thanks in advance
Can you set the lockscreen to use the same wallpaper?

Wallpaper is randomly generated and set by intervals from app. My goal is to basically have my lockscreen wp black at 70% opacity or the frosted glass effect

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is just a guide to make a png image with transparency. When you try to set an image of that sort as a wallpaper, the transparent areas are filled with black.

I was visioning something more like this. There is an xposed mod that does this but it's not for Samsung TouchWiz roms on MM

Sorry, I'm not aware of any way to do that. Good luck.
I'm thinking there might be a way through the stock theme app/files but I couldn't find a way to edit the files... Yet ?
