Greetings Everyone,
Everone says SuperUser ( Root) gives freedom but with EMUI 8 I can say EMUI gives freedom from root
( atleast for customization part )
EMUI customizations are always amazing,one thing that I always felt lacking is the lockscreen customizations.
EMUI 5.1 allowed only a few ( only two major looks ) for the lock screen
[I know you can change it by installing a external theme engine called zuke theme engine which is said to be appproved by Huawei but mandatory of a third party app didn't feel like EMUI to me ]
Now the old days are gone and we are on EMUI 8.0.0 which introduced a dynamic lockscreen theme engine that allows us to
customize our lockscreen in our own way with a few lines of code
So I made a few lock screen themes to get away from the boring old lock screens and sharing them here.so Everyone can enjoy
I dont know whether it will work for non-beta users(EMUI 5.1) but Trust me these Lock Screen Themes are worth a Shot
Features :
These are super lite in size so you can combine it with your any other favorite theme and it wont slow down your device.
Double Clicking the lockscreen will now allow additional options like Music ,Calendar, messages, camera and more depending on the theme.
Note :
All these themes I made are only built to change the lock screen look so they INCLUDE nothing else like icon packs , system ui , settings etc.,
Noob's Guide for Installation(Please follow the instructions of installation - IMPORTANT !)
For EMUI 8.0.1/8.0.0
Download the theme file (.hwt file)
Copy the theme file into the '/sdcard/Huawei/Themes ' folder
Delete the .cache folder in '/sdcard/Huawei/Themes ' (optional)
Clear 'Themes' from the Recents(If opened) and Open again.
Go to customize in the themes app select the Lock Screen style and apply it
Restart your device to clear old theme leftovers
Done!
For EMUI 5.1 :
Download the theme file (.hwt file)
Copy the theme file into the '/sdcard/Hwthemes ' folder
Clear 'Themes' from the Recents(If opened) and Open again.
Go to customize in the themes app select the Lock Screen style and apply it
Restart your device to clear old theme leftovers
Done!

A Little help?
Hey, I was wondering, I just got a theme I really love, it's called "Pixel World" (i got it from a page called huawei emui themes . Blogspot ) only thing is I am a total failure at creating lockscreens or themes at all, but I really liked de concept of that lockscreen, but anytime I try applying it, an error message just shows "this lockscreen is incompatible with your device".
Could you help me finding out if I need a 3rd party app or helping out doing a similar kind of lockscreen? I'd be eternally grateful
Hi Do you have some instructions how to programm this animations? I cant find something around google?

If you asking for a guide on theming these animations I don't have any. Decompress the theme files they have nothing but the lock screen packages . Decompress them too and check you'll get it

Hi Guys.
I have a problem. I figured out with Huawei Themes Tool Suit how to make dynamic lockscreen and to adjust themes.
But!
If i want to set for example a picture in the settings "about phone" it is not possible.
Then i want to hardcode that. Take a hwt theme. unzipp it, change some pictures. rezipp it (different packers) and renmae it to .hwt
But after repacking and renaming it (same name and folders) the THemes Tool and the phone will not recognize the theme at all.
What am i doing wrong?
Everywhere it is stated: change hwt to zip. unzipp it. change. rezipp it and change to .hwt again. Finish.
But this will not work?
Any ideas for me? Thx a lot...
Im running Emui 8.0 on a Android 8.01 Honor 7x.

My Solution: Use 7-Zip, don't rename the hwt file to zip, unzip, keep the original hwt. Make your changes, open the compressed/hwt file (don't unzip), copy your modified files into the archive, click always yes (if there is a question about copy files...), close the archive and copy the file to the phone.
If I edit a hwt file that's already on my phone (theme folder) I change the version number inside the xml file in the main folder.

Don't Unzip those hwt files > Open hwt using any unzipping tool > Extract whatever packages you need and edit ( unzip , rename.,replace... and do whatever you want do to those packages they are just like folders zipped without any signature)> then replace the package in hwt(without unzipping) with modified package > modify the description.xml accordingly and save it ( again without unzipping hwt).
If you are placing the modified hwt( without the description being modified) with the original hwt the theme engine obviously won't recognise that as new theme
I don't known if you understand what I'm actually trying to say:silly:.Anyway Good Luck:good:
Unbelievable... I figured it out.
The trick is really to not unzipp it. Leave it in the zip program. Add you files.
Change version number. And there it is....
Wow

Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for download.
EDIT 4/12/10: See last link at the bottom of this thread regarding the shaded notification area apk/option
Ladies and Gentlemen, after a bunch of trial and error, I am proud to announce that I have achieved a clear lock screen for 2.1. I arrived at this starting with the Fresh 2.0d framework, but this should work on the latest DamageControl ROM as well, since they are both based on the latest Sprint leak.
This will provide a clear lock screen, as well as blank out the "Sprint" text above the clock on the lock screen. Essentially, allowing you to customize a clear lock screen the same way traditionally done on 1.5 ROMs.
Included is a transparent png for 'lockscreen_topedge.png', so themers who want to create their own graphics over top of the clear lock screen should replace this .png with their custom graphic. You can see in my screen capture below, I replaced it with my own custom team logo. However, as mentioned, the attached zip simply provides a completely clear lock screen with no image and clock / date only.
It should also be noted that since HTC has merged a few elements into a single apk, that to clear out the lock bar graphics, I had to include in the attached signed zip the 'com.htc.resources.apk' file as well. What this means is that if you have done any other customizations, such as changing your Rosie launcher from the default Fresh 2.0d espresso launcher to any other launcher, as well as some modifications to your taskbar, the attached will undo this and revert back (at least partially) to the original Espresso launcher included by default, as well as some stock taskbar icons.
Themers can take this and run with it to modify other elements as necessary.
Before flashing the attached zip from recovery, you need to either use Fresh's kitchen to clear out your current cached wallpaper (it will still work), or manually do so via adb by doing the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *
cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*
exit
Note: You may or may not have anything to delete in /system/customize/resource, so if you get an error message, don't worry.
Then, reboot into recovery, flash the attached zip from your sdcard, and you are off to the races. Enjoy!
Download Signed Zip <--- Also clears the lockbar (w/side affect of having to flash stock espresso launcher found in Fresh 2.0d)
Download Signed Zip <--- Also clears the lockbar (w/side affect of having to flash stock HTC Rosie launcher found in DC v2.05)
EDIT: Attached is another zip that will ONLY change the HtcLockScreen.apk. ONLY flash this if you ALREADY have the clear lockbar flashed from a previous mod. Using this will prevent changing of your launcher and/or taskbar elements, but also will NOT clear out the lockbar icons (gray/black arches on stock HTC lockscreen). So again, ONLY flash if you already have a clear lockbar. Otherwise, you will have to manually edit your com.htc.resources.apk file to insert the clear lockbar images (see post later in this thread)
Download Signed Zip <--- If you already have a clear lockbar.
Reference (note: this shows my own custom launcher, however, as mentioned above, the attached zips includes the stock ROM launcher):

}
EDIT 2: By popular demand, I have also created a completely "clockless / date-less" clear lockscreen (see below), which can be found Here. As mentioned in that post, since it is completely clear, I had to drop-in / default something, so you know the lockscreen is active, so I made it the android logo you see below. Change as desired.
Reference (w/o clock & date):
---- Menu key disabled apk below ----
EDIT 3: I have also modified the HtcLockScreen apk to disable the 'Menu' key for unlocking the screen. If you prefer this functionality, see here.
EDIT 4: Inverted version, with black text on white background, including menu key unlock disabled can be found here.
EDIT 5: To add a shaded notification at the bottom of your lockscreen, ONLY when a notification is present, see here.

I decompiled the apk and nulled out the call to the jpg all together. This ends up with a default black background, that I then hex edited in the XML to change to transparent instead. That's the short version.

You can see it based on last modifed dates right in the apk, that the 2 files changed were:
htc_keyguard_screen_lock.xml
lock_screen_bar.xml
But this was not it. I also modified the classes.dex file to alter some calls as well.

OK, must admit to being slightly confused
I have Regawmod with black launcher.
If I flash this (which I Just did) it defaults to espresson launcher.
How did you end up with white launcher as in this screen shot ? And how can I get my black launcher back WITH clear lockscreen WITHOUT the bar ?

I have the white launcher because I customized 'com.htc.resources.apk' to be that way. Since 'com.htc.resources.apk' also includes the launcher, as well as the graphics that you need to make transparent for the clear lockbar, I have no choice but to inlcude the stock espresso as the launcher in the attached zip.

You have to merge / modify your original 'com.htc.resources.apk' file to keep (not change), your original black launcher, but include the clear lockbar graphics. Unfortunately, they are BOTH in the same file.
Go to the com.htc.resources.apk file in the attached zip, and in the:
com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-mdpi
folder, grab the images:
lockscreen_arc.png
lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png
lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png
And drop them in the same folder in your original com.htc.resources.apk file, and push it back to your phone, and you will retain your original launcher but have the clear lock bar to go along with the clear lockscreen.

Everybody has a preference, I LOVE Hex WorkShop.
MetaMorph has been updated so that all old MetaMorphs that use a .thm control file WILL NOT WORK! This guide has been updated to instruct you on how to convert your themes to the new format
MetaMorph uses .zip files for its themes which the app unzips and places in a folder.
Inside the .zip is a .xml file and several folders for the apps you want to edit. (For example, you'll see com.htc.resources and Rosie folders in themes that change the bottom bar.) Treat these folders as if they were the .apks themselves. They use the same folder structure. So if you have a file in the folder Rosie/res/drawable/ in your theme's .zip, then MetaMorph will open up Rosie.apk and stick it in the /res/drawable/ folder. Get it?
So that's how you place the files. And the great part about MetaMorph is that you only need to put in the files that you're changing. That's all it needs. This keeps the themes very small and easy to edit, since you can see exactly which files need to be changed!
To create your theme control file, download the attached theme_control_template.xml.txt (rename it to remove the .txt extension) and fill in the required fields using any xml editor (I recommend Notepad++). Name the .xml file the EXACT SAME NAME as the name of the theme. If they do not match they the theme won't work.
Once you have your .xml file created, zip up the folder, place it in the AndroidThemes folder on your sdcard and start MetaMorph. MetaMorph will unzip it, create a new, unzipped folder in AndroidThemes, and add a .nomedia file in there.
This is a very simple process that can easily be done in as little as 5 minutes.
Here is a more in-depth guide if you so desire (by the author of the app): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329
And here is a collection of MetaMorphs created (Note: most of these WILL NOT work on Sense ROM's! Read what ROM each theme is created for carefullly! If you have a question, ask and someone will tell you if the theme is usable on your Hero): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589315
Thanks for the tutorial. I've always wondered why more people don't use metamorph (for the Hero at least). It's such a great application. Hopefully we'll see some new themes popping up soon. Thanks!
So If I wanted to change a file in rosie.apk I would only need to place the modded file in the apk into metamorph? All the other junk can be left out?
Just did a little more reading and looking at some examples and looks like I got it. Thank for the information
Yea I hope to see more themes using this, seems alot easier and more flexible for designers/themers
I have a few font replacements that I found within the G1 forums:

Custom_Font - Credit DeadBody79 *(note that this font causes some stacking in the text, such as the alarm clock time and some app names)*
Please Nandroid before installing. Both were verified with Damage Control v.2.05. Should work for any ROM based on DC v2.05, not verified on 1.5/6 ROMs although I think they would work if the font files are in the /system/fonts directory and named the same as the Morphs. Stock fonts have also been provided.
I am having bit a problem with MetaMorph. After I open up Metamorph, it says that it needs to check a few things to make sure the phone meets all the requirement. After I press "Start Checks" it opens up Superuser but does nothing. I know superuser is working fine cuz it works for wifi tether. What am i doing wrong?
What ROM version do you have installed? After it checked for updates did you get the option to select "allow", "Always Allow", etc.? If there was something wrong Metamorph would probably have given you and error.
Re: [Guide] MetaMorphing!
so use meta to change those fonts you zipped. wondering if there is a way to apply the font changes to only certain parts of the phone. would this make it easier to change the colors of backgrounds and menus etc?

Every theme I download and put on my sd card gives me a invalid theme or theme is missing error. I would know exactly what it said if it stayed up for more than a second and 1/2. I am downloading themes based on the Rom I have yet NOTHING will work. Am I missing a step here. I download, put it in the AndroidThemes dir on the sd card then open Metamorph Pro and extract. I then get the message about it being invalid or it is missing.

This is what I have in my .thm file...
framework-res.apk
/system/framework/
This is the directory structure for my zip file (test.zip)....
-test
- framework-res
- res
- drawable-mdpi
My .thm file is in the test directory my images are in the drawable-mdpi directory.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Is BusyBox required for this to work? I saw some posts that led me to believe it was but others don't say anything about it. I am rooted and downloaded Metamorph and it seem to run okay accept for the error when trying to load my zip file.
Thanks.
Ok, for the people who are getting invalid theme messages:
Recently, Stericson changed MetaMorph - Donate to MetaMorph Pro. MetaMorph Pro uses a different theme format than MetaMorph free does! Instead of using .thm files, it uses .xml files. This means that any themes that were made for MetaMorph free WILL NOT work for MetaMorph Pro! Kinda lame, I know, but that's the case for right now.
My best advice for you is to just install the free version for now. I know you paid $3 for the Pro version and I don't want you to waste your money, so as soon as I am able to I will look into converting these into themes compatible with MetaMorph Pro.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I saw that and also tried a xml file.
"<?xml version="1.0"?>
<item>framework-res.apk</item>
<path>/system/framework/</path>
"
That's what I had. Very basic but thought it was enough to work but got the same message.
I am running the free version 1.9.4 I think?
.
EDIT: This mod has been integrated directly into the Fresh 2.1.2 ROM, thus, to date, I have yet to update it as a standalone MetaMorph / Zip.
Based on popular demand, I decided to take a look at the Vanilla Lockscreen today, to see if there was a way to remove the majority of text from the screen, so that all you are left with, for the most part, is the slider bar for screen unlock and the slider bar for volume on/off.
It turned out to be quite an undertaking, and required some significant code modifications, and unfortunately, a single hex edit to an XML file, meaning the mod is spread across 2 files, rather than my goal of 1. But, having said this, I am pleased to announce my efforts were not in vain.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, a completely clear Vanilla lockscreen for your enjoyment . Special thanks to flipzmode for the original format fix on the vanilla lockscreen. My starting point for working on this fix was the android.policy.jar file containing flipz's fix for the formatting, emergency call, as well as the menu key unlock disable.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First, if you are currently running the stock HTC Lockscreen, if you wish to move to the Vanilla lockscreen, after flashing one of the options below, you will need to move your HTC Lockscreen out of the way, via adb, by doing the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
This will NOT delete your stock lockscreen, rather, simply move it out of the way, so that if you want to move back to the stock lockscreen, you can also undo your change:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.bak HtcLockScreen.apk
exit
As mentioned, above, the fix is across two framework files, 'android.policy.jar', as well as the 'keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml' file in the \res\layout folder of the 'framework-res.apk' file.
Attention: Since you are changing a core android framework file, after flashing, your Dalvik cache will get rebuilt, so rebooting will take some time, based on the number of apps you have installed. Be patient and watch your logcat.
So, here are your 2 options.
Option #1
Option #1's flashable zip contains BOTH files. Flash this for a completely clear vanilla lockscreen ONLY if you have not made any other changes (themes) within your framework-res.apk file (custom taskbar), as the zip will return this file back to stock, with the exception of my fix for the lockscreen.
Vanilla Lockscreen No Text Complete <---Only flash if you are running stock theme from Fresh 2.0d.
Option #2
Option #2's flashable zip contains the 'android.policy.jar' file ONLY. Flash this to make the primary framework file change:
Vanilla Lockscreen No Text Jar Only <---This is the .jar file only.
Then, after flashing the jar file only, you will need to manually edit your 'framework-res.apk' file, by placing the file below in the framework-res.apk's '\res\layout\' folder.
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.txt<---Remove .txt extension after downloading.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
Open 'framework-res.apk' with WinRar or 7zip, navigate to the '\res\layout\' folder, and drag and drop the above XML into this folder. Close up the file, then:
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
If you are running a different ROM, other than stock espresso Fresh 2.0d, then Option #2 presented above is your best course of action, so as to not mess up your existing taskbar, etc.
Also, it should be noted, this does not contain any of the Alarm clock changes, etc, necessary when you are using the Vanilla lockscreen. Please see Flipz's site for flashing the needed files if you are NOT already running the Vanilla lockscreen and don't want to have alarm clock disable issues.
EDIT: If you prefer an opaque (non-transparent) black background, rather than the default / semi-transparent, please see here.
EDIT 2: If you are a MetaMorph user, thanks to danaff37 for putting together a few MetaMorphs of my mod that you can use as well.
EDIT 3: New version posted which allows for a background wallpaper image instead, see here.
EDIT 4: See this post to remove the haptic feedback after having first flashed your desired vanilla version above.
sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I just wish the HTC clock/weather widget updated under the lock screen
Awesome! Thanks man!

just out of curiosity, have you removed the haptic feedback from the lock as well? that was something I had asked a few other Devs about.

No, I did not look at that at all. It's not something that bothers me / wasn't aware of it as an "popular" request. I can certainly look at it though.

I'm not sure that it's a "popular" request just something I was asking Konikub about and he had agreed that he didn't like it either. It just seems to cause a bit of a lag when unlocking my phone. If it's something that cannot be done without a lot of work I will live with it.

if i was to use option two would it mess with my lock that i have now ?

How? Are you saying we need to hex edit framework-res.apk, or just stick
"keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml" someplace?
id use this lock screen if we could apply custom background wallpapers.

It would change the background for opaque black to semi-transparent as shown in the OP, but your graphics would remain unchanged.

All the heavy lifting is already done for you. Yes, per the instructions, just stick "keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml" in the \res\layout folder in 'framework-res.apk'.

For me, it defeats the point / goal of what I wanted to achieve, i.e. seeing clear through to the desktop behind the lockscreen, with nothing obstructing the view...
You know my GlasStatusbar? You know my DesireBar? you like it?
OK, I've played a bit with Samsung Galaxy S and Sony XperiaX10 ROMs and I've seen that there are some buttons and pop ups, I like more than the stock Android ones.
So I've mixed it up, my GlasStatusBar, my DesireBar, the Samsung Buttons and some pieces of Xperia.
This here is the result and I like it very much and wanna share it to you!
Look here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This are the Notification Icons:
This is my GlasStatusBar
And this is my DesireStatusbar
What changes this morph:
- Statusbar
- Battery Icons
- WiFi Icons
- Mobile Icons
- GPS Icon
- Gmail Statusbar Icon
- Email Statusbar Icon
- SMS/MMS Statusbar Icon
- Google Talk Statusbar Icon
- Statusbar drawer
- Buttons and Pop-Up Dialogs
Installation and Downloads
At first I have to say something new!
The new Metamorph seems to be a bit unstable by applying themes with coloured text in the statusbars. Some of you have reported problems while applying it. So I have decided to make the theme applying in a few little steps.
This is a Metamorph Theme. You have to install Metamorph (or better: Metamorph Pro) from the market. Copy the following files to your SD Card in the folder "AndroidThemes"
If you have problems
Check following
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, and play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
5.2. If the notification text isn't white, reapply the second zip file. Metamorph is a bit buggy with it. I must apply it four times, but it still works
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you become error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"
7. If U use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro and have a Black StatusBar with static Wallpapers: Go to ADW Settings and Disable the "Wallpaper Hack" With LauncherPro there is no chance. Write this Problem to Fede from LauncherPro, that he make it switchable

Some Icons in the Settings and in the "Off-Screen" are from another (see first screenshot) Theme I can't find now! Thanks to the Dev for this!!! PM me, if its yours, please!
HAVE FUN!!!
tkanks Formel,
now try
installed and it looks fine ...
maybe you can change the battery icon with new one, and put a new trans signal bar ...
what do you think about ?
tks
looks good but what about themeing the "phone" too?
now it looks like this, maybe if it's possible to change the green to blue and when pressing the numbers we get blue?
here is a screenshot and I have written blue where it should be blue
btw, would be nice with the Xperia X10 dialpad and layout
Yes, that's true.
I'm on it. I extract the Galaxy S ROM more and more and look what there is.
You must know, I use DialerOne.
But I will look what I can do with this.

having the installing thee latest glass version on the latest enom rom.when trying to installing all, have reboots. only way to succeed is to increase the time ( settings in metamorph) and install one by one. secondly, the status bar is transparent everywhere except in the home screen where it is black indifferent of the wallpaper.
You read the first post, the section about problems? There everything is explained. ;-)

So I've looked all the other Apps.
Some are the same as Stock, without any differences. Others are completely new.
So I can't copy any of the pictures to our Nexus Apps.
Sorry, everything I can port is ported.
There are a Handfull of Icons, but not worth to work on it. Sorry.

Hi everyone,
I am using smart cover for my mate 8 its looks premium with it , but the thing what I don't like is the wallpaper for the smart cover as i am using custom theme with dark wallpaper .
I need to change that wallpaper yo one match the cover, its brown the phone is mocha gold.
Please any one has managed to change it or has solution!
Hope huawei add this feature in next release.
Thanks
No one facing this issue!
so u only want to change the lockscreen wallpaper or both lockscreen and homescreen?
if its the latter, just use the huawei theme engine and change it to the mocha brown theme if its the former youll have to find a way to extract the huawei wallpapers from the installed themes and use it separately...

For the Smart Cover wallpaper, i managed to change it, by using a different theme (using Theme app), but this changes the whole theme too, have not yet found a way to change the smart cover by itself.
Edit: Themes (magazine)
Still in all updates same issue!
Huawei need to work more ?
Download any theme to your pc, use WinRAR to open the hwt file. Browse to unlock\drawable and put in whatever wallpaper you want it there. Then save the file and put the theme on your phone in your internal storage in the HWThemes folder, then load the theme in theme manager.

Try using the same names as the photos already inside the theme.
Still doesn't work.
I've managed to change lockscreen and wallpaper background but smart cover background still no luck.
I have changed file names and resolution so they match the files that are in the theme file.
Is there someone who's actually managed to change it?

I confimed that his method is work perfectly, but It have some complications before doing that.
FIRST, If your mate8 is unlock bootloader (+ DATA partition decrypted) and root. then Theme app is not working !!! you must fix the Theme app first (you can download in somboons's topic and do the exactly process in fcho1978's reply: here is link) then your theme app gonna work correctly !!
NEXT, do as ajsmsg78 said. but I recommended that you should copy the Spectrum theme (you can copy it from the same directory that you fixing Theme app in the First step) to modify. IDK that what file is "Smart cover wallpaper" So I change everyfile that is IMAGE (with the light-blue color photo) to my lock screen image. <------ you can rename file "Spectrum.hwt" to "Spectrum.hwt.rar" then extract the image file to modify *******IMPORTANT !! : you must extract the non-type file (The file that have no ".XXX" after file's name like .png .xml) (I can't remember that full name file, sorry) and then add ".rar" to file's name then extract the image file via rar and modify image to your lock screen wallpaper, too.
after modify all image, then throw the file back to the old directory via winRAR. ---> remove ".rar" from file's name.
Finally, you gonna have the modified 'Spectrum.hwt' files.
THE LAST STEP : copy the modified file to the same directory in the first step ---> change the ch (rw_r_r, i guess) ---> restart ---> change theme via Theme app to 'Spectrum' and BOOOMMMMMMM !!!!!!!! your smart cover screen is changed !!!!!!!
ps. ALL IMAGE FILES RESOLUTION MUST THE SAME THE ORIGINAL (Just modify with photoshop)
ps2. Sorry for my English, English isn't my primary language.

bad news folks... I have the newest Marshmallow update for my Honor 5X and the fix here doesn't work. Well...it kinda does. You can tell that the image you use is there in the back, but they put another layer over it that fills in with the stock wallpaper, but it is smaller than the actual window and it looks terrible. Attached is a screenshot where you can see what I'm talking about. If anyone comes up with a fix, please do share. Until then, it's back to a different case.
