[Q] How to modify stock ICS Lock screen? - LG Optimus 3D

We all know that changing one particular line in the build.prop file from "true" to "false" will turn the LG Lock screen into the Stock ICS Lock screen.
What I want to know is, how do we go about editing that lock screen? I am very sure that it is within the system files (how else would the phone be able to access it?), but I can't seem to see anything related to it.
Why would I want to edit the ICS lock screen you ask? It's to remove that grey bar below and to lock down the notif.bar, so you can only open it by swiping to unlock. That, and to add some psuedo-ripple effect that I've read about somewhere else

simplest way to "remove" grey bar from ICS lockscreen´s bottom is replacing "bottom_bar.png" in framework-res.apk with resized one. direction to this file is: "\framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi".
*in attachments two pngs for example
edit// the same file is also in lge-res.apk

So the settings are in the framework-res, and the only way to mess around with the lock screen is through that apk? Got it :good: Will work on this when I have the time, thanks.
That's one question down... Now, to figure out how to lock down the notif. bar xD

Transparent lock screen on top of home screen after fixing permissions in ROM manager

Transparent lock screen on top of home screen after fixing permissions in ROM manager...how to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
While I cannot tell you how to permanently fix this, I can tell you it happens to me as well. I guess for now we must go re-choose the lockscreen wallpaper whenever we fix permissions.
Adb pull framework-res and change the default lock wallpaper and the keyguard wallpaper to ones of your choosing. They are in res/hdpi.
How to fix lock screen glitch?
Hey guys.
Quick question. Hope this is a good forum for this question. Hopefully someone has the answer that I have overlooked.
Lockmenu is a very cool lock screen app(to me, anyway. I'm a noob so...). Gives very quick access from the lock screen to whatever apps you wish. Sort of like Shortcuts, but directly from a lock screen.
My problem is when I unlock from the main Unlock Slider on the bottom left, it takes me to the default lock screen on my Skyrocket.
How do I disable the default system lock screen?
There is no option in the settings to disable the default lock screen for those of you who might think its that simple.
Anyone else having this problem?
I have tried the Nolock app first to disable the default system lock screen, but...
So in other words I go through two lock screens most of the time. Once in awhile it will unlock to the home screen from the Lockmenu Unlock Slider as it is supposed to.
I'm running ICS rooted on Galaxy Skyrocket.
Any help is much appreciated.

Disable stock lockscreen in titanium?

What is the service called so I can freeze it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You cant freeze that. There is nothing to freeze.
Why not just go to the Security portion of settings and disable the lockscreen? Just dont put any pattern, pin, or anything. Then anytime you lock the screen it just powers down the screen, hit the power button and its back on, no lock screens of any kinds.

Thanks.
But I want a lockscreen.
I use WidgetLocker and every once in awhile, I get the stock lockscreen and have to swipe it away, then I get the Widgetlocker screen immediately after and have to swipe that away also.
And a couple other buggy type gremlin stuff. Nothing serious, just bits of annoying.
So it would be easier if I could just delete or freeze the stock lockscreen.

Your not going to be able to freeze it because its not really an app to freeze. Its part of the android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk file. This is what the rom makers mess with when they forcing say the AOSP lockscreen.
As far as why the stock one keeps showing up, something is not right, if you set the lockscreen to none on the security settings, then the widgetlocker should be the only one showing up, you shouldnt have two lockscreens. That only happens if you have the security set to a native lockscreen and then widget locker is sitting on top of that.

Huh, if that's the way it's supposed to be done, then I wonder why WidgetLocker doesn't do it for me.
I just turned off the lockscreen in security (I think) and WidgetLocker is still working. I assumed it would be disabled also, if I turned off lockscreen. We'll see if this does the trick. Thanks.
The lockscreen settings in the settings tab only affects the original one, it cant adjust the widgetlocker one. It doesnt even know about that.
So if you removed the lockscreen from settings, it wont show the original samsung one anymore. If they still have Widgetlocker installed and enabled, it will then be your lockscreen. If you dont want that, then you need to disable Widgetlocker and either get another one you like or put the samsung one back on since you said you still want some type of lock screen, otherwise you wont have any lock screen, just a screen power off.
The lockscreen apps unfortunately cant modify the existing base OS code, they litterally just sit on top of the existing one and sort of inject themselves in there by you giving them the default. But if the stock/samsung one is enabled it still goes into effect, thats why you end up with two lockscreens. So basically you need to enable just one of them.

Yeah, that works up until a reboot. Then the stock one pops up again

Yep, it looks like you can disable any security settings that pertain to the default lockscreen. Like removing a pin, or special drawing function to unlock.
But it doesn't actually remove the lockscreen itself.
So I tried "No Lock":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nolock&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
This completely disables the default lockscreen.
But on reboot, you still see the lockscreen for like two seconds, then it goes away on its own.
I'll try this combo with WidgetLocker for awhile to see how it works. So far so good, but the real test will be over a few days use.
Sometimes that stock lock screen would come up when I bring the phone out of deep sleep. It's fairly rare, just enough to be a small annoyance.

Are you on a rom with 14 toggle? If It has a locksreen toggle, thats what I used when I used golocker. It never showed stock, except on a reboot.

[Q] - Move bottom notification / status bar to top?

Has anyone managed to find an app or way to move the back/home/recent buttons + status etc. from bottom to top of the screen? My daughter loves playing with games but she keeps hitting the darn bar with her arm etc. (she's about 2 years+months and luckily smart enough to start the game again when pressing back/home etc. but it's annoying) and I've searched around but couldn't find anything regarding this. Only to ' hide' the bar (by killing it's process), but not move it to top.
Any idea's? Or did I miss something?
I may be wrong on this, but I think Asus put an option in the settings to let the status bar lock itself, so you have to hold down on the center a few seconds for the buttons to appear. You might want to try that.
I use GMD Gesture Control (Pro for custom gestures) -- one of its options I do not use is hiding the taskbar (by gesture). The only backdraw is that wallpaper will be reset to the default one when you toggle the taskbar back on. If that's an issue for you, you'll need an app that changes the wallpaper back to what it was from a folder or something (I know there are several in the Play Store that provide options like that, and they have been named in the forum elsewhere, I believe).
Unfortunately I can't find that option. Tried pressing long on bar, clock, home, screen and every corner I could find... nothing. Also didn't find this in any settings.
Edit.
Marty,tried that app too. Thanks, but games go all iffy if there is no bar (some, not all). Plus there are some bugs that just aren't handy. And again. Don't want to hide the bar, but simply move to top where there about zero chance of hitting it accidentally. (No clue why it had to be at the bottom to begin with anyway)

It's probably an xml file in res/layout in the SystemUI.apk file.
I have not been able to recompile SystemUI.apk so I cannot try to move it.
As soon as someone has figured out how to recompile SystemUI.apk, I will try to move it to the top.

Lockscreen speed and icons

I wonder if it is possible to speed up the unlocking process of the lock screen and If it is possible to change the apps that it starts with.

Change the speed- no
but you can change the apps on the lockscreen - again only limited to a few apps --but located somewhere buried in settings- i dont have my tablet with me right now to look. but it can be done.

ANY way to change the ugly default lock screen?

Is there any app/xposed module anything to change the lock screen? I hate things like the way when you begin to slide to unlock the clock disappears and it replaced with "slide to unlock" etc.
I mean there are tons of Lockscreen apps, ofc you can replace it. Back in the day i was using Widgetlocker Lockscreen, no idea how it's doing now.
