I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.
Here is one I created. Enjoy

Edit: I can change the background color if someone wants.

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.
awesome. thanks, both of you.
I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....
Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?
The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.
This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.
I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful
Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.
OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.
Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.
Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.
Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

thanks works perfect on my sgh-i637, but i have a question: when i try to change the background i go to app/data/home htc2 xml but i need to change the cpr file too?
no you just go to pictures and assign them ask your background
the layout you have selected cannot be loaded. please selecta different layout using the home screen item in settings
just go to setting then go to display then home screen when you get to the last part u should see something about home screen layout you would find HTC2 in there plus if you want to change background for it you should find the background image

deleted the old top pics
the problem i found with the thing keep say error about the background made because of screen size i think but mostly every theme does that on windowsmobile standard devices it just a glitch in the standard rom that they just need to fix or someone who wants to make a better rom for it would help it but is not bad it only happens only one or twice but is going to fix the problems and others.
If this is the wrong section, let me know please.
I see a lot of themes or people SS's of their home screen and, the Start button at the top, i see a lot of people have custom names there, like in Laskar's theme and etc. i was wondering how it's possible to put a custom name there... Like... Susa instead of Start, or something along those lines
i would also like to see this possible
Well, i still don't know how to do it, but the new co0kies 1.7 has an option for it now, so all's well

I thought it was only your service provider details that CHT would change, not the txt next to the start button?
I'm still after customizing the start txt if any one can help...
There's two ways that I know of..........
Either look here. Needs a bit of knowledge to do that, tried a few times but couldn't get the dll to re-sign correctly and gave up in the end.
Or.......the cheating option which I use.
Install the "No Start" patch attached (WWE only), no idea who wrote it originally so can't credit them, but it came off here somewhere.
Then in Photoshop add whatever you want to replace it with, this has the advantage that you can use whatever font/image/colour you want rather than just sticking to white text in your system font if you do it the proper way.
To align in Photoshop, take a screenshot to show your start icon with no text, then overlay it with some transparency onto your new wallpaper then you can see perfectly where you need to paste your new text/icon or whatever.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! Sneaky, but I like it! Will give it a go!
Must admit, I'm a bit surprised no one has come up with a editor yet
First post on this site, so bear with how horribly round-about this actually is.
Examples are attached, as I can't post outside links, even to images.
Introduction:
Instead of flashing the honeycomb lockscreen to my phone, I decided to set out and create a suitable alternative. I didn't want to dig too deep into my Evo, but I still wanted something that looks good and works. Thankfully, I found a fantastic app that pretty much allows me to do just that already: LockBot.
Many of you may know of LockBot already, but some don't, so here's the basics: it's a free replacement for your lockscreen that allows you to customize it beyond compare. As well, it allows you to use the lockscreens of many other ROMs (Eclair, Hero, Galaxy, among the names) as a basis. With this in mind, it allows you to modify almost everything, all while being free. Did I mention it's completely free? So let's dig in.
Instructions:
First step, download the zip file attached to this post that contains the images you'll need to use in this project. Upload these images onto your phone's SD card in a new directory. You obviously only need to upload the background you wish to use, the lock icon, and the "blank.png" file. Do not upload the .psd file or the "demo" files, as they won't do you any good there.
Then, install LockBot on your phone (I would link to it, but as I'm a new user, I can't post outside links).
With LockBot open, click "New Theme". Select "Eclair" from the menu (if you bought the paid application you can select Galaxy for a more realistic experience).
Hit "Menu" up in the top right corner of the screen. Change your background to be that of your selected style (if you chose to use the Eclair lockscreen, select "eclair-bg.png").
Select "Menu" again to edit the clock. Select digital, and then tap on the clock itself to edit it. Select "Hide Clock Background" to remove that ugly grey line.
Tap the clock again and this time choose "edit clock". On the first dropdown under "Date Font" select the option you want. I chose "Sunday, February 20", for example. After you have selected the correct date format, hit your phone's back button to get out of the menu.
Tap "Menu" again and select "Style". Click your style once again to confirm what you want to go with, and then tap on the slide bar. Click "Change Unlock ICON" and change it to the lock.png file included in the zip folder.
Before you change the Slider Background, make sure you click "Move Slider" and align the lock icon with the circle on the background. Be sure to keep it a little below the correct placement. For some reason, LockBot isn't great on exact placement for this one feature. You can adjust for it, however.
After you have moved the unlock icon, change every other icon to the "blank.png" file, including the slider background itself.
When you are done, hit menu and then save. Your new theme will be in the "My Themes" section of the app. This is where you have to select which lockscreen you want to see...
Hit your phone's menu button to bring up the "Playlist" option. Select it. From here, uncheck every theme except for your new theme. If you don't do this step, it will randomly select between all of the other themes to display when you turn your phone on.
Hit the back button to get out of the menu.
You are almost done! Right now, when you unlock your phone, you get a vibration. If you wish to edit that or remove it completely, hit your phone's back button until you get to the app's main menu. Hit your phone's menu button and select "Config". Select "Vibrate" and select your preference.
Now you are done.
To revert these changes, simply uninstall the app and delete the folder of images from your SD card. Unistalling the app will give you your stock lockscreen back.
Known Issues:
- The clock doesn't have the correct font. This can be fixed by using a live wallpaper for your background. I don't have one, but it can be quickly and simply created.
- Once in a rare while the lockscreen will skip right to the home screen. This all depends on how much RAM your phone has free at that moment, but this application doesn't use much at all. As well, it may take a couple seconds after your phone has been put to sleep before the lockscreen will come back. Quickly hitting the sleep button twice might just skip the lockscreen all together. Give it a couple seconds of sleep to realize it needs to launch the lockscreen.
- Using the Eclair lockscreen, the lock icon can only go in one direction or the other, not in a free motion like the real Honeycomb lockscreen. This is kind of solved by using the Galaxy version of the lockscreen Even then, however, if you use the standard clock (instead of using a live wallpaper), it drags the clock along with the lock icon. Other than that, the Galaxy option works flawlessly, as if it really were Honeycomb. Please note: the Galaxy option works perfectly if you use a live wallpaper for the clock! This is the closest we can get to the Honeycomb lock screen with this method. It does cost money for the paid app to use this option, however.
If anybody can create a live wallpaper, much in the same nature as the "wp_clock_light" from the Market, please contact me or leave a post here. Creating a live wallpaper with the correct font would mean that this project can be completely authentic.
Also, one last note: in the zip file, I have included the .psd of the images. The original size for the background image is 513x855 simply to get around some random (and odd) limits that the developer of the app put in. You can use the "city_wallpaper.jpg" file to create a background image of any size. This will allow you to use this method on any phone you want. Obviously, this is intended for the Evo primarily because that's the phone I own, and it's the only phone I have access to. This works on any 2.2+, as far as I know. If the app works with your phone, then this method works, too. I'm pretty sure this doesn't require a root, but I'm not the author of the app, I simply used this as the quickest, easiest method of getting what I wanted: the Honeycomb lockscreen. If you have any ports you'd like to include, please post here with the background image files attached. Thanks!
sweet thread im loving the sweet honeycomb lol
here is a link to that app
lockbot
i would provide a pro apk but i don't wanna support piracy
This is fantastic! Great work! I wanted this lock screen the moment I saw it and this is a great alternative! Thank you.
how would you make the wallpaper a live wallpaper?
Download of attachment stops at like 60kb
Doesn*t work for GalaxyTAB and doesn't support Landscape Mode for me..
Doesn't give the feeling of Honeycomb to me :/
Ok, I'm at a loss. I downloaded Pro so I could utilize the Galaxy option, and for the life of me, I can't get my lockscreen to look like the screenshots... How did you manage to get the lock icon and the so?derived background to line up????
My clock moves also...
Wow, didn't realize I was getting hits on this thread. Like I said in the OP, you can select the "style" from the top right, hit the type of style you want, and select to move the slide around from the menu (select "move slider"). You must use the appropriate background, however.
Honda, you are correct that there is no landscape mode. That is a limitation if the app, unfortunately. As well, you will gave to use the OSD file I provided to create a larger background for the tab. This was designed for phones, not tablets. You are more than welcome to use it on the tab, but you will have to do some extra work for it.
One last note: when I first created this thread, I submitted my work to the developer to be added to the gallery. Now, you can simply launch the app, go to the gallery, hit the "Eclair" tab, scroll to February 20th, and select the one entitled "Honeycomb by Mark". I see someone already took my background and work and tried submitting a Galaxy version, but it is horribly buggy, and the developer hasn't added my Galaxy version to the gallery. The Eclair version I submits works fine, however. You can download that I'd you have the Pro version of the app (the free version is unable to download themes).
Let me know it anyone is having any other problems, I would be more than happy to try and help you.

i made something like this today on iphone theme.
EvoShift
Works on the EvoShift from Sprint.
Only issue being the stock HTC Lock Screen still appears once in a while and couple of clicks for the sleep button will take it out but it will show up once again later....there is no way to disable it.
Mine's a non-rooted evoshift.
going to try this out now, just going to install lockbot pro the legal way and then put this honeycomb lockscreen on my desire z
when he says you would need a live wallpaper i think he means a live wallpaper that has a a live clock and the wallpaper...well thats what i think.
Just a slight update... my walkthrough has been spotted and picked up on AndroidNG, and that article is the #1 Google search result when you search for "Android Honeycomb Lockscreen"!!!! This is huge for me, and I'm excited. Squeeeee!
Sorry. That is all.
Note: Again, can't post links because of my low post count, even though my guide has helped a lot of people, and has been proven to be useful for those that want the Honeycomb Lockscreen without rooting their phones... strange world we live in. Just Google "Android Honeycomb Lockscreen" and click the first link. I am "Method I".
Edit: Yes, the live wallpaper of the clock is only necessary if you want the Honeycomb font for the clock itself. If you don't care about the font, you don't need it. As of right now, I don't think there's a Honeycomb clock live wallpaper, but I don't know enough to make one. Wish I did. As for the issues with the app itself: yes, there are some bugs, and it occasionally hiccups and shows you the stock lockscreen. This is just the nature of the beast when it comes to this app. Bugs happen, but this is the closest we can get to perfect for now.
Thanks again for reading and trying this method out, I appreciate all the great responses!
would love to try.. but it seems a little daunting.. scared me off for now
It really isn't. Basically: download the zip, put the images you want on your phone, download LockBot and place the images and parts as you want. Easy enough.

Just so I'm sure I've done everything correctly: when the phone first boots, I see the default (system) lock screen, not the LockBot version. Is there any way around that?
Other than this one (relatively minor) issue, it's fantastic - thank you very much!
Unfortunately, Google has set a five second lock out for apps once a button is hit and the device being turned on. In those five seconds, nothing can be run. Some security measure our something, I don't pretend to know what it means, but it is supposedly there. That is, scouring to the developer, the reason for it. The solution: give your phone five seconds after hitting a button and turning the phone on again. Good luck!

Hey guys, I just wanted to do a quick update.
First off, thank you all for the major success of this guide! It has been so much fun watching youtube videos featuring my work. I'm just happy that I could make a difference to some of you. Now for the great news...
If you have and old, pirated version of Lockbot Pro or free, get the latest version (1.17.1)!!! This new version comes with a legit honeycomb lockscreen. It looks beautiful! Even if you don't have the app legally, you need to. Donating money to the creater of this app is worth it. I'm trying to get in contact with him, but so far no luck in getting even more features. Maybe he is just working on it. I giggly recommend getting lockbot pro now, as it is so worth it. Just trust me.
I also once again want to make clear: I only created the images in the zip file (except the background, but the circle is me ); I did not create the app. I cannot say enough about how good the developer is, though. Buy the pro version! I will post screens later.

Hi
Our phone has curved corners, but the UI not as much roundy. Unfortunately, I'm not able to create nor a rom, neither any apps. I tried, but I feel like a dog who wanna learn to write. Therefore I did some examples with photo manipulation program for my desired look to match with the phone. As I always hide nav- and statusbar, for me it's even less matching, but I guess one could like the design with bars not hidden as well. I have done system UI changes, also some apps as examples. In the next few post I let you guys see them, and if any of you is able to build apps/rom, and share the same passion, please feel free to use them as an idea, I'd be glad to see them in real one day. I know that not everybody is a fan of rounded ui, but would be a nice option, if we could change anytime the radius globally, including apps. Also, this way other phone users could also match UI with different radius cornered phones.
All right, so I have no attach button in the app, not on the pc, so I uploaded a zip, all pics I organized in a folder, so it's even better, you can just swipe to see the difference, as I did put the original as well, just put your phone in full immersive mode while you watch. Also some status and navbar mods are included to taste, for those that don't hide them ever.
Some things, before you watch:
This is a prototype, I did not do it extremely well, so please exuse the imperfection.
This is a retouch of my recent ui (custom rom) for my style, I don't mean to criticise any creator.
I know the apps have nothing to do with the system, and I cannot wait that they all redesign them, only wanted to give a taste, how nice could be.
https://gofile.io/?c=cBpMPT
Edit
As soon as I uploaded, and answered to the only comment, the attach button has appeared, I'm able to upload
But I think that even easier with the other option, as here we can't swipe.

I uploaded a zip, cus it's important to see pics as if they were your phone, with fullscreen, not sure if it's possible with a picture from web directly.
Can you upload it again the website says the file doesn't exist.
Thank you

I'm not sure, but gonna have a look on pc if I still have them.
Anyway it was nothing major, just the same stuff, like aosp, but nicely rounded, that matches and doesn't cut any corner awfully as it does. Plus some others, but I'll have a look still, plus I'm working on the next verzion, just don't rush it, as pointless, only doing it when I'm bored.
Also, many stuff you can reach with substratum, that helps a bit to reach the goal.
