That's strange. I wish I had a 3d I could take a look at for comparison because, on our Thunderbolts, we just check the little box for decoding images, as you said. Then click on the second file in the list. A then go to the next tab over and expand the tree down (I believe) 3 or 4 levels. Its there we find the the texture files we're looking for. Does that sound about the same as the 3d our is it a little different?

I could be dead wrong, being as i'm unfamiliar with the evo but, I swear that doesn't look like the right one. Can you show me the list in the pane to the left?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] HackitZ:
I guess i hunting i will go, maybe the image is another apk file?????

Funny i can open the IdleScreen_Stock.apk and see the image ok.

Thanks for the help.

ok here is the list of the m10 files.

Sorry I wasn't of more assistance to you, man. Let me know when you figure out what the problem is please. I'm curious now! :D

Yeah, that's the one I would have chosen as well! :confused:

Hack, it could be an issue with it being the GSM version, but Im not 100% on that. Try using this one. This has been my base for these for the LONGEST so I KNOW it works and decompiles properly. Its from the Evo 3D CDMA version.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] HackitZ:
I tried and it's not working for me, when I use this version on my gsm evo 3d the weather lock screen keeps flashing in and out. makes it hard to unlock the phone. LOL

Thanks for the help though.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Oh, you need to fix the image. Use the color profile tip that was posted in the op. Makevsure its generic rgb.

Glad you like that one man. I actually put a little work in on that one. I modified it to look that way. But yeah, I'll have to find it but, when I do, I'll put it up for ya. :)

Apparently there was some changes, which are acceptable of course, between Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.6. I was trying this tool and method to change the lockscreen weather background in my HTC Vivid with Sense 3.6 and ICS and didn't work

The problem is that m10 tools don't show the Textures tree, so you cannot change the files.

Going to search if I find more info
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
Yeah, this thread hasn't seen much action lately since many of us Thunderbolt users went to Sense 3.5 roms. We're waiting on the release (or at least the public beta) of the much anticipated Virtuous Ten Studio, which will contain an updated m10 editor. As of yet, its supposedly handling some m10 images but not all, or something like that. There's a thread for it here on xda, if you want to look it up.

How would i figure out what the png size should be if i dont have a thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] HandyBesitzer:
Hi,

i'm looking for something like that, but i don't want always the same screen. How can i use the same image from the stock lockscreen??

I mean the background from the Homescreen.

I hope you can help me
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Cy_n_ic:
hey bro! yea long time no see, been learning alot about how to theme.

i definately have a new found respect for you guys lol
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Franzie3:
Got the same black box issue. Followed directions step by step.

The screen will load up and you have about 1-2 seocnd to unlock the phone before it goes black screen and you need to power off/on the get it to come back.

No weather animations either.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Ive noticed that with the last nightly as well. Ive been using the old lockscreen and Ive not had any issues with it. I was helping someone else that with the new one, he couldnt get it to work at all. If youve updated which zip you pull it out of, I would grab the idlescreen from an older one. Also, if youre running DarkHorse, I only saw the issue after I flashed that in on top of the changed lock screen. Try an older one and get back to me. I know that mine still works.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
Cool. Sounds simple enough. I'll do that after work (on days this week) but, I'm still curious about the DH thing. I may test that theory beforehand myself.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] conadg:
thanks for the tutorial
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
I hope you already did this but, just in case, I wanted to make sure you read the last few posts before yours. Make sure you start with an apk from a nightly prior to the 7/10. :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rlivin:
Mine is doing the same thing, also on my sons phone. i am using DH and he is not. Both on the lastly nightly but using the idlescreen weather from the previous nightly.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
That theory just got debunked. Some images just dont work. I tried the image with one that I knew to work. Im honestly not sure why some images work and others dont. lol.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
I'm thinking that size may be an issue here, possibly? I wonder if the same image in the same resolution but, in two different qualities would make for a good test here. Or possibly even three different qualities. Maybe an image that's too heavy or too light simply doesn't work.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Black00StangGT:
Good to see you here I don't know if you remember helping me last night on the other forum but I decided to give using that image one more try with another theory I came up with and sure enough it worked lol... heres the screenshot of it finally working lol

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Well, if you didnt have the issue and we didnt go through all possible issues, you wouldnt have thought about something so random. lol. Glad that it worked because itll definitely help others.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CyD13:
I wonder.... Is there any way to have the lockscreen wallpaper be the same as the normal wallpaper? Like make it transparent or something?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
I don't honetlstly know. You could try doing an image and then turn the transperancy to max. See if it works. If not no harm no foul.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] santas16:
I've attempted that theory, it gets converted to a solid white bg. On top of that I get some sort of unlock glitch where I only have a split second to unlock the screen, otherwise I have to time out the screen with the power button and turn back on to attempt again.

Anyone else get similar results?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Try a single pixel in the dead center of it. Same color as the background then edit the image for the icon for the app. That might work.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] santas16:
I thought I might add, I'm working with the weather lock screen, not the basic wallpaper lock screen.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] santas16:
lol, well, the rest of the image except the single pixel gets turned white ... I think it just the operation of the weather lock screen, I may just have to copy my wallpaper image into the weather lock screen ... this just means if I change my wallpaper, I must change it as well :(
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Lol. Or just go with two. Its what I do. I like a bit of variety though.

Another tip posted thanks to PrsnlCrcl. If youre still having issues where youve done everything right, try zip aligning the apk.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
I haven't had much luck lately but, today, I somehow pulled one out of thin air. It's minimal so, some may not like it but, I think it goes well with all available themes at the moment - stock Synergy, DH and, DHC.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Is that on the 7/19? I havent flashed DH on it yet.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
Yeah, DH works perfectly! I haven't tried the GOL add-on yet though. And I tried to flash Dark HC today to give it a whirl but, it froze multiple times at the bootani. I'm gonna try it again shortly though.

Original background image

Hi there

I'm looking for original background image from weather lockscreen. The one with the grid at the bottom I can't find it anywhere. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] santas16:
I'm at work now but if you haven't gotten it by the time I get off I'll post it for you... Do you need all 3 stock weather BGs?

Here are the images

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] cezeto:
Yes please that would be great
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
If you go into the zip for your Rom, navigate to system/apps and it'll be right there with the stock image. If you're just lookin to go stock, there's no reason to even edit the file. Just pull it and swap. If you want the images, just open it in the m10 editor.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
I like the newer background much more than the original. Not quite as busy. Good job to you and, whomever made the png you used.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Ahh I hate sounding like an idiot but I am doing a lot of learning about this stuff. I plugged my phone up to my laptop selected disk drive and found the latest nightly on my sd card. I downloaded the tools and went through the steps listed and when it came time to save I went back to the start tab and selected save. The task bar appeared and showed saving Lockscreenweather_bg.m10. within a few seconds the windows explorer pops up I hit enter to name it IdleScreen_Weathe[1].apk and thats when I get the message file is read only.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Did you pull it out of the zip file? If you didnt I dont think it works.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
So open window explorer open the rom zip find the file and pull it out put it somewhere else run through the steps the put it back in the rom? Sorry I told you i am new and trying to learn this more detailed stuff to start really customizing.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Half right. You want to pull it out of the zip and then go through the process. You can either use ADB, or do it the easy way of placing it on your SD card and then using either Root Explorer or Total Commander(I LOVE THIS NEW APP!) place it in the system/app folder of your already installed ROM.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Okay let me try it that way seems to make sense. Thank you will let you know how it goes in a bit.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
No problem man. Post screen shots when youre done!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] cmo220:
Thanks, it worked well. I didn't see anyone mention this but I had the problem with the black screen and limited time to unlock. I think that happens if you push with adb while the phone is on. After a reboot it works fine.

Nothing special. But the blue definitely didn't go with my theme.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
There's been a couple reasons, that's why I posted the tips. Glad it worked for you. Looks good dude.

I dont know what i am doing wrong but I find Idlescreen_Weather.apk on my sd card but sing root explorer I am having trouble getting it moved into the correct folder. I long press it select move, navigate to the system/app folder paste it. when I return to select my permissions it is not there it is still the original one from the 73011 build. Ahhh go back to the sdcard and there it is only now its labeled IdleScreen_Weather copy.apk. Guess I am doing something wrong when it comes to moving the folder but I dont know what. Whats even more annoying is it seems I am the only one who cant make this work.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
You don't move the folder. Just the apk. If you use total commander, it may be easier since it gives you both widows at the same time. Mount as read and write or r/w and then copy it over. Also, make sure you get the Superuser permissions. In the menu at the bottom theres an option for it to always have root access.

Sent from my rooted, Dark Horse INFECTED Synergy bolt running Ziggys latest.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Maybe that is the problem I dont think I am using total commander right. I select the apk copy to clipboard and navigate to the system /app folder in the rom but there is no option to paste it there. Maybe I am looking at it wrong but I assumed that is the way it worked.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Long press on it and it will give you options. Same way you would any other file manager.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
I guess forget it I have long pressed it copied it to clip board gone into my roms system/app folder and cannot get it pasted in the folder. I dont know what the hell I am doing wrong but this is extremely frustrating especially since everything else I have done has been relatively easy.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
I'm sorry if you've tried this but, I wanted to TRY to help before you give up. :)

All this is done in landscape.

Left window- folder to be copied FROM.

Right window- folder to be copied INTO.

Select the file to be copied, by simply tapping the icon. A check mark will appear over the icon.

Now, at the bottom of the screen, press the icon that looks like 2 pieces of paper with an arrow between them. This is the copy command. It should slap it right into the folder, without a hitch.

If this wasn't your problem at all, I'm sorry. I just know that Total Commander is a bit different from other file browsers.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
here is what I see.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
Have you tried it my way? Works every time for me.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Yeah I like the look and feel of total commander much better but I am at a loss on some of the workings of it like moving things around and setting permissions(still haven't found that). Got everything moved around but I am struggling with this for some reason. BTW when I long press the apk in the system/app file choices are delete unpack-open and unpack -edit. Both unpack options fail.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
? I know you guys are just thinking I wish this guy would go away, but I really want to learn and this stuff doesn't really come easy to me.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
1. Are you mounted R/O or R/W?

2. Did you give TC superuser permissions?

Long press once youve copied it over and this window will come up.

Press the arrows on the far rights top side of this box.

Set permissions as follows.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:
Also, in order to get to permissions in this app, you long press and select "properties."

On the next screen, you'll see an arrow on the right side, suggesting there is more to the right if pressed. Press it. That's where you'll find permissions.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Superuser permissions yes, but am unsure how to check for R/o or R/W using TC as there is no button at the top like in Root Expl.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
I know that if youre using Synergy, Dconfig has the option to mount as R/W. I havent figured out what button(if any) sets it that way on TC. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. Go ahead and set the system as R/W in root explorer and then jump back. Youll be R/W now.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Thats just it when I long press the screen that I posted is all that shows up mine looks nothing like yours.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Then youre doing it wrong. lol. Give me a second and Ill take some more screen shots. You still have not answered my questions though. Please do so before posting anything else.

Long press ON the Idle apk and scroll down till you see copy

Switch to the other screen and long press then scroll down to paste here

Long Press to set permissions as you saw in my previous post.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Yes sorry i have given superuser and I am in R/W.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] boomer519:
Okay I believe I jave done it just the way you posted in the pics. Took the file from the sd card on the left moved it to the system/app folder on the right. It overwrote the existing file and I scrolled back to the left to set permissions to the set up from your previous post.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Then you should be able to reboot and enjoy your lockscreen.

Ive gone to the market and it isnt there. and all the apps that say they are like total commander wont let me cop my file and the one that did wouldnt let me do anything else. ive got as far as making my new apk file. but thats really as far as i am.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] McLabia:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

I cant find the R/W setting in TC, so imo, if you dont have Dconfig or something else that sets your phone to R/W, then grab ES. Itll do that, with a little setup. Really simple too. Once you get it installed in your phone, open it up and hit menu. Towards the bottom, youll see Root Settings. The reason I had him go through that with TC is because he was having issues with Root Explorer and figuring out how to paste what where.

I had one issue. When i went to permissions i could only make permissions of x x x none of them were zeros.

But when i rebooted my phone it all worked. Now im having trouble getting a screen shot of it. Chingy installed an awesome native screen capture app with his Gingivitis but it doesnt work when the lock screen is on. so when i get that working ill post my screen

When i went to permissions according to the instructions i was to put xxo on owner, xoo on group and xoo on others. when i went to that permissions it said r g x vertically. no O's at all. So i made them all X's since they all started that way. It worked my apk showed up.

None of the ones i tried (screen shot, screen grabber) would work on the weather screen. What app are you guys using or are you using ddsm? For some reason my adb isnt working right either. grrr may just need to start over with adb
