[Request] A little help with this lock screen - LG Optimus 3D

Hey i been trying for a while to get googles stock ICS lockscreen on my rom im making.
So i tried to just rename the lg lockscreen with a .bak at the end (to just basicaly disable it) and i do get the ICS lock screen.
But i get a grey area at the bottom of my screen plus it has no background its just what i was on before i locked it.
Then i can also press the home key and it unlocks my phone so its pretty useless.
Does anyone know if there is an APK that i can overwrite my current lg lock screen with? Or a way to get the way i tried to work properly?
Thanks

just edit build.prop And change
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
to
Code:
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
in the future Post in the General section Since the O3D does not have a Q&A section

You Could try Change Density to 219 Makes the screen Look Bigger plus i could swear at that density the 3D is much clearer like the sweetspot has expanded then again i haven't used the 3D Function in a long time maybe it has always been like that
Pics below also disabling OSP gave me more free ram

Changing density might prevent some applications from playstore to install.(at least that used to happen in gingerbread)

That's what happened for me if I changed it on the build.prop myself. With a dpi editor app everything still shows up fine

AFAI Can tell 219 Everything work like it should

A whole bunch of categories and apps would disappear for me like a bunch of Google apps and such.

It doesnt happen immediately.
For example (if i remember well) some of the apps that weren't anymore available for me was dolphin browser, ulleese speedometer and a few others... dont remember most of them because i havent played with dpi for more than a year.
You will get a message from playstore telling you that the application is not available for your device (although it normally is).

Sorry about the long time to reply but here is the screenshot with the grey bar.

I would recommend against editing the dpi. For one, it breaks the Android CTS requirements ("Device implementations MUST use only displays with a single static configuration. That is, device implementations MUST NOT enable multiple screen configurations. For instance, since a typical television supports multiple resolutions such as 1080p, 720p, and so on, this configuration is not compatible with Android 2.3"), and furthermore as others have said it makes a bunch of apps from Google Play vanish.

Emmm lol what was the default DPI again I forgot

Switching Defy to 200dpi

Ive just installed the tool LCDDensity from Market
Ive tested 160dpi, 200dpi and 280dpi... with the app, and 192dpi manually... why 192 ? its 480/2.5
The 160dpi is buggy (status bar), and 280 make all fonts biggers.... but... 200dpi... its amazing, its like a new phone ! all seems more clear and scrolling faster...
Please see the screen shot and give it a try...
BUT, there is a but... The Phone App (when you click on Phone icon) in my 3.4.2-164 will auto close in 160 and 200dpi. All others apps are working, Contacts, SMS, market and Browser
So, i need to find an alternative (working) Phone app... Where could i find that ?
EDIT: In fact phone app is working if you use the missed call notification in status... Only the first tab "Dialer" will close the app, but you can use Contact list... or Recent List and its working..
to set the setting permanent on reboot :
edit /data/local.prop and add
Code:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=192
Warning: dont change in local.prop the similar ro.sf.lcddensity which will not works
Also 100dpi will not works (in fact, just prevent the screen init, your phone is running without screen)

Use Dialer One from Market.
Great Dialer.
180dpi is looking good too, only a small "pixel" is missing in menus font tried to reinstall BlurDialer and now app is missing ://
dpi setting is not saved on reboot with LCDDensity
I've found the best setting to be 200. Dialer still works with mine.

Sent from my MOTO Defy
192 is ok for menu fonts
the app is fine but it's not only the stock dialer, CalWidget also bugs with it
For me, editing data/local.prop is not a permanent change. However, editing system/build.prop is persistent across reboots.
My stock dialer works fine.
184 dpi also works (better than 180)
i don't even see ANY difference?
If you do not see any difference, perhaps you are not editing the right file. If it is the right file, you may have mis-typed something.
Note that you would have to reboot your system before the file is parsed/the new settings are used.
i edited nothing, just used the app
Then I suggest you contact the author of the application or read any info/documentation provided about the application.
This thread is not about that app, but about making a manual change, to a system file.
Best of luck.
What does this do exactly ? Is everything smaller ? Bigger ? Easier to read ?

TouchWiz4 for Gingerbread Tab (Deodexed only) Updated 05/13

First off thanks to everyone from the various SGS forums for this, especially to fear2142.
This is the Touchwiz4 Launcher from the SGS2 ported to work with Galaxy Tabs running a DeOdexed Gingerbread based build (or latest Overcome based on GB).
Changes I made for the Tab:
Fixed XML's to support larger screen
Adjust size for workspace/edit screens
Set Launcher workspace to 6 rows/ 6 columns (fits good)
Set appdrawer to 6x6 layout as well
Adjusted to allow 5 shortcuts on bottom bar
How to install?
This is a CWM3 package, save to sd card, use recovery to install (choose zip from sdcard etc)
You must clear your dalvik cache after install.
Reboot, clear the application data for twlauncher to ensure it displays properly.
This is currenty setup for 240 dpi, I'm working on a version for 182dpi as I type.
*UPDATE*
Alright, I've attached the 182 version. Unfortunatly I just cannot get it to accept a grid any larger than 8x8.. though I suppose that's still 64 spaces right?
Known Issues
Screen rotation is not currently working
Nice one mate!
Nice work! The screen rotation does not work for me.
Nice! Can't wait for 182 version

You're going to need to add screenshots I think, cause I have no idea what you mean. None of my apps are covered by the dockbar shortcuts.
Are you running at 240 or 182 dpi like the OP says?

[Q] LCD Density on ICS

Anyone had any luck changing the LCD density on the ICS leak? I tried it using LCD Modder Pro and it resulted in a soft brick.

I'm trying LCD Resolution, it says it needs busybox installed.
I go to the market and try to get an installer for busybox, and apparently market is broken for me - I can't download anything from it. Updates work fine, but can't get anything new.
I've been unsuccessful in getting the LCD resolution to change. I tried LCD Resolution with no change (no soft brick though). Also tried modifying the build.prop directly, that resulted in a soft brick.
I resolved my market broken issue (just reinstalled ICS through odin).
Going to try it after my nandroid backup is done. Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
On further thought and some googling, a lot of the LCD density changing apps on the market have disclaimers about it not working on certain devices, or ICS. So I would actually be surprised if the ways of doing it on 2.3.5 will work on 4.0+
EDIT:
Alright, gave it a shot. It won't work. In fact, some of the icons appear larger. Didn't break my phone at all though, just a quick reboot and it was back to normal. I'm going to keep trying different ways.
anyone have any luck with changing ICS density yet? cannot stand how big everything is!!!

I haven't been able to get it yet..
I'm hoping that once the custom ROMs start rolling out I'll be able to figure it out. I'm good at getting into those and changing things, but I'm bad at manipulating just my phone.
---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
Yeah editing the build file just gave me a soft brick as well.. bummer.
EDIT:
I tried adding a new line to the build.prop - My phone appeared to soft brick, and when I was trying to boot it into CWM it somehow booted up. But nothing had changed. Weird..
Also the apps on the market that claim to work with ICS don't for me.
Also, I heard that the Galaxy S II folks had this weird issue of there being TWO LINES that you needed to change... but from what I could tell (I looked over the file very carefully) there is only that one line.
i got the lcd density to change, use rom toolbox pro and changed it to 200 in the build tweaks section

WORKED. Going to check it with 160 (what I used). Excellent find man, thanks!!
EDIT: Ah my phone is so beautiful now. Works perfectly, now if I can only figure out how the app is getting the job done.. haha
That worked perfectly. I was trying to change it for hours. Thanks! I am using 160 too. Looks great, better than with Gingerbread!
What exactly does changing this do?
This changes the resolution of your screen.
ROM Toolbox did the trick, thanks.

Ahh, thank you. Saved me! I did not want to revert back to GB, but do not enjoy a senior friendly UI either!
Ok, I tried this and not sure what is going on.
When I do, the icons get smaller, but instead of using all the screen realestate, I have a large section of unused space that I can't do anything with.
What am I missing or what am I doing wrong?
After you've changed the density, you'll want to change the number of columns/rows of your launcher to make use of the extra space.
Awesome! Rooted up my skyrocket on ICS! First root for me on my first android! And just got my skyrocket yesterday!
I changed mine to 200, it's way better this way. I did it through the rom toolbox as suggested.
There is a small lag though going back to the home screen, are you guys experience this as well?
Any suggestions on fixing the dial pad? I've done some searching and it seems most of the fixes aren't for us.. yet.

You change it in your launcher settings. I'd highly recommend Nova launcher. It acts like the AOSP ICS launcher (with the widgets section integrated into the app drawer). By default the desktop space is 4 rows by 4 columns, but you can change this. I'm experimenting with what works for me with a 160 density.

Thanks, that helped, now how do I create folders in Nova launcher? Can't figure this out for the life of me.
EDIT:
Nevermind, figured it out, it's like the iOS way of creating folders. Just drag and drop 1 app onto another.
Hmm, noticed that the disagree didn't resize either. Can anyone recommend a good dialer?
Exdialer is great.

(Mini Theme) 4.0.4 LRK SystemUI Sensation Theme Port

Update 3rd August 2012
Theme now is just one version combined layout style of previous 2 versions
includes all the minor changes from previous update(touched up data icons)
removed search icon because not working
download and screen shot at bottom of post.
Hope you like
This is a mini theme I guess. It is a port of the sensation rom systemui.apk and the battery charge anim works just like the original
It is only the systemui, criskelo-res and quicksettings apks and it is 6 toggles on screen because I don't think the 8 toggles suits.
Suits best with a blue or stock framework.
It is not fantastic and may need some touch ups but is at a point I am happy with and ok for now
Attached is two versions one with carrier text and one without (for now unless I can get it to look normal with the carrier text)
the pictures show the difference.
This is working on 4.0.4 LRK Classic rom but should work on other 4.0.4 roms too but the usual make a backup and flash at own risk
Both are cwm flashable
Thanks to

Hope this is ok and let me know thoughts
Thanks

For the one with Carrier Text, are you able to add the additional icons beside it ? E.g. lockscreen, etc ?
I Haven't tried yet. Ill look into it when get some time and whether I can get it to look any good if i can get it to work.
I'm trying to add carrier text back to the one without and make it look ok, this is the best that I've done so far, i just can't centre text so its going to stay on the left for now.

I have touched up the data icons a little, raised the data in and out icons and centred. This does bring them a little closer to the wifi icon but I dont think its too bad as looks better this way now.
Unfortunately I have not been able to get a carrier name on the no carrier version and be fully happy with it and with getting the lock, recent etc icons onto the carrier version, I can not get anything that is stable enough for daily use, so going to stay as is for now sorry.
Disregard the green text and date in the screenshot as that is from my framework-res. If you stock or blue framework-res the text colours will remain the same.
Thanks
great looking mod. thank you. the only thing - i dont have running procceses in status bar as it is shown on the screenshot. is it some app used?

Thanks. Feedback:
- No carrier version - 3G, H and H+ are perfectly located, but Carrier version icons are misplaced
- No carrier version - Clear is really tiny
Looking good mate, nice work.
However I've tried both of your nocarrier zips and single click in the search icon does nothing. I'm on classic rom v3. Anyway we can fix this?
Also if its possible to make the 'clear' text just a bit larger so it would center perfectly in the button.
Thanks.
ahh it looks nice..gonna try this
It's working great for me on Classic ROM LRK v3. Just one point though, it is a bit light in color when any of the toggle is turned on. Thanks.

Hi, are you using the no carrier version? If so does your search button work on single click? Thanks.
working on getting the lock etc buttons on the systemui with carrier text so there will be just one version which has both things. Just having some stability issues with it hoping to niggle out so can use it.
I have fixed the data icons on the carrier version (sorry I mustn't of edited all the images needed my bad) will upload the fixed version later when get a chance.
As with the search button I have noticed before the theme it didn't open anything but I have just themed criskelo's systemui.apk so if anyone is using criskelo rom can they see if it works for them, as far as I understand in the code it is pointing to a search application to open but I am not sure if it is executing the command or just doesn't have the required search app installed. I will try and play around but can't gaurentee I will be able to fix that issue as it is there from the unthemed version (for me anyway), may have to remove the icon if can't sort anything out.
One more suggestion, the Wi-Fi logo look very low res, can you improve in that too? thanks
+1
I had user 0ne day, very cool!

AOSP Lockscreen on Stock Based Rom

Generally speaking I really prefer the AOSP Roms but I have a few things in the stock based roms that I can't seem to get away from. One of them is the sound. Its just better on stock. I won't go into detail because a) that's not the point of this post and b) I don't want any of the excellent devs working on AOSP roms to think I'm being critical of their work.
One of the things I preferred about the AOSP Roms was the lockscreen. I just don't like LG's implementation. I don't think it looks as good and I don't like having to press enter after typing in my pin. It's petty on my part, but it irks me. Anyway, I had been trying to figure out how to port the lockscreen from AOSP to work on stock based roms and as it turns out, it's already there. In a rather foolhearty attempt to learn more about LG's lockscreen, I decided to make a nandroid backup, then boot, and just erase the LGLockScreen.apk/LGLockScreen.odex files from the /system/app folder using ES file explorer. I also erased the LGLockSreenSettings.apk/LGLockScreenSetting.odex files as well.
Now I have the AOSP lockscreen but things aren't exactly 100 percent stable. I'm trying to find a solution to make the switch and not have weird force closes. Sometimes it works fine but every once and a while, it will behave strangely and spit error messages at me. I've searched but I haven't seen any threads where anyone has managed to do this. (I tried erasing the lockscreen and leaving the settings files but that didn't work 100% either) Any suggestions?

a working AOSP lockscreen for stock would be more than a welcome addition.
I changed this line in my build.prop because i wanted a live wallpaper on my lockscreen. It also makes your lockscreen aosp style.
Find
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true
Change to
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false
Reboot
Enjoy
Also for whatever reason root explorer wouldn't let me change true to false. It would only let me spell out fals so i downloaded buildprop editor free from play store worked great.
Should mention i have Verizon G2

Well setting the LG lockscreen to false enabled the AOSP lockscreen. I was able to get the lockscreen to unlock when the correct PIN was entered without having to press the enter button, which was not possible previously. I did notice that my navigation bar transparency was disabled when I was not using the LG lockscreen. With the QuickWindow cover I have I reverted back to LG lockscreen for the window effect and the transparent nav bar.
I went ahead and changed the line in my build.prop as stated above, and it definitely cleaned up the lockscreen how I wanted, but now my wallpaper is gone. Its just a black screen and I've tried changing it to other wallpapers but it just stays black. Any ideas?

I did this to have my homescreen live wallpaper on my lockscreen to mimic the look of Gummys kitkat rom while running lg based rom. I really havent tested beyond that. I set live wallpaper of choice ( phase bean ) onn homescreen then modified the build.prop. After reboot ive got a aosp style live wallpaper lockscreen.
Edit
Just tried and whatever wallpaper i set to homescreen is on lockscreen live or from gallery. Tried changing just lockscreen alone with no luck so if you want to separate wallpapers this might not be for you

Agreed, actually one of the things I wanted from the AOSP lockscreen was to use the same wallpaper as the desktop. I thought it looked weird having different ones and when I would choose the same one for the desktop and the LG based lockscreen, they would be clipped differently and just looked even weirder to me....
FYI, for those of you doing this, I'm noticing some strange issues when combined with some Xposed modules. I'm actually thinking I might install a fresh rom and do this so that I can try to figure out which module(s) might be of concern...
Tried the build prop thing too but although i am able to save it it gets revertet to "true" directly after...
EDIT: Forget it! Altered the build.prop manually with root browser and now the lockscreen has changed. But still i have to press enter after the pin...
EDIT: Forget that too. In xposed g2 settings i could activate "quick unlock".
Thanbks Guys

I found it under the gravity box module. I'm not sure it's in the G2 module since our G2 wouldn't normally use this lockscreen...

Which G2 Xposed module did you use? Nevermind
noticed a small issue with using this tweak: sometimes after a phone call when it goes back to the home screen it's just an empty wallpaper instead without any icons and the only way to get out of is to bring the notification shade and go into settings from there and then go back to the home screen.
I've seen that too. It's kind of annoying and really strange. I wish I knew how to stop it from happening because I really don't like the lg lockscren...

Just wanted to mention that the latest Malladus 1.2.3 has the aosp lock screen baked into the rom. Very nice!

What carrier are you on? If you just want the aosp lock screen this thread explains how to make the change in your build.prop very simple
