do you have screenshots?

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] jagdesh:
A request if you can please

I dont want the lock screen to be transparent but i want the slide to the left and right shortcuts, the clock, and the text written on the lockscreen which is "swipe up or down to unlock" and the nework operator ... all of these to be invisible or removed from the lock screen

Can this mode be developed please
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
No, I have not installed this but done it for someone else

It's possible but I will have to wait until the weekend till I can get my Linux machine up and running
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
It appears no one has tested this yet as I just have and you just get a black lockscreen.

I will look into this tonight and try and fix it.

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] jagdesh:
Wow blank lockscreen meaning NO TEXT OR WIDGET AND NO CLOCK ON IT?

if thats the case let me know I will download this mod ASAP :D

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Do you need to have de-odex rom for this??

I copied the file and changed the permissions and then hit reboot, but nothing changed..

Now deleted the odex part of this file from the folder and reboot..now i get a black screen with clock widget and screen lock icon which is vanilla rom style ... I have attached the screen shot below..

Also after doing this change, I do not get the lockscreen wallpaper option under personalization anymore...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
Yes, I am working on this.

If you delete the odex file then it reverts to aosp lockscreen just like deleting the lockscreen apk.

The problem I have now is that the default image is a .jpg which does not support transparency.

I have fully decompiled the apk and am going through all the xml files to find where I can enable .png support.

I though I had found it in a hex colour string for the background colour and changed the first 2 numbers to 100%

i.e. 00000000 to FF000000 which should be 100% transparent but it do not work.

More work to do I think.

As some have asked, I can mod this to make more blinds on the lockscreen and and also to make the "twist" in the blinds a bit more pronounced. I can also hide the clock, camer and music icons for those that want it.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregbradley:
I am locking this thread until I sort out the issues.

I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

I just received my Spigen case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCICXMU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
Make sure to update us when you get it. I'm really thinking about that case, but $25 seems steep.

under 4 bucks, hopefully it'll last
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vegabyson:
Using the diztronic clear frost. Lightweight and provides enough protection. Also its slightly see through so you can see the back of the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Maverick777:
Another Diztronic user. I posted in the other thread as well, but it looks like it got buried. Reposting in case others are interested. I'm also waiting for a Spigen Neo Hybrid to ship.

Fit and finish is excellent.

I will be using a Uag case when it comes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrevTec:
A little off topic, but care to share your lockscreen app/theme? :)

And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid. :D

I haven't purchased on yet, but now I am leaning towards this faux leather one from Caseology.

http://amzn.com/B00F8P9UFS

It's only $5 including shipping, so even if it sucks, it's no big deal. And it will give me something to protect my device until I find the perfect case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] renny083:

Has anyone tried the aluminum bumper cases on ebay? Looks pretty cool but I heard the note 2 versions interfered with gps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jrggarza:
I was going to get one of those, but it felt like I was putting hubcaps on a Ferrari. Going to wait for the Samsung S-view cases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
I had the aluminum bumper on my note 2. It definitely messed with my GPS reception, and I would constantly lose signal. Other members on this board denied that they were having the same issue but I'm positive it was interfering with the signal. It also scratched up the faux metallic boarders of the phone when I put on and removed the bumper.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kabuk1:
I initially bought the pink Tech21 case but the buttons were kinda stiff plus I got sick of the pink really fast, so I returned it yesterday & got the Incipio dualpro shine case at the AT&T store. Same price as the Tech21 case. I'm already noticing some scratches on the back though, so I'll probably return this one too cause a $35 case shouldn't scuff up after ONE day of gentle use. I'm waiting on a cheap purple TPU case from ebay right now, and I really can't wait for more companies to start making cases for this phone. This is the worst thing about being an early adopter, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkb218:
Once they are stocked, I'll be using the Samsung S-View case. I really like the faux leather back of the device and would really hate to cover it up. While it's rather expensive, I think it's worth it.

I too want to maintain the leather look and feel and I've found a series of TPU cases from Caseology with leather look and feel on the back. My family has loved their matte/canvas textured models - They are all one piece with a black TPU bumper on the sides and a textured back (leather: black, navy, brown, burgundy - matte/canvas: hot pink, navy, turquoise, black, white). The non matte/leather ones are just standard TPU cases.

I bought all three colored leather style ones - no black.

Well I got the I blason and it's a great case. Got it in red. It's super steady but I BROKE the holster clip on the first day it was my fault. Very well built case with a hard skeleton and then like a rubber wraparound. It was cheap too on amazon and it is better than those cases just made out of silicone. Has a kickstand too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hd2Raz:
Just got my case a few hours ago. So far I like it. The finish is nice, all ports, mics and whatnot are nicely open. The volume and power buttons are covered up and easy to press. It's nice and thin plus the shiny edges matches my black N3 real nice. Hard to beat for only 4.99 on eBay.

Do you have on a glass screen protector or a plastic one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hd2Raz:
Just a crystal clear plastic screen protector. Pretty basic. Just wanted some level of protection. Did the same with my N2 and never had an issue or got any scratches. It's still good as new.

Best Buy had their Platinum Series Cases out - and had one for the Note 3 - I dig it:

http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Series-Kickstand-Samsung-SGC23SB/dp/B00CDWDF2S

looks pretty much like the one made for the Note 3 - thinner and dimensions fitting the note 3. Very great case - Gives the Note 3 a whole new "weight". case slides on from top to bottom onto the phone and fits snug. Kick stand is very sturdy and it didn't make it even close to being too thick to fit in my car mount - if anything I am now worry free of my car mount scratching my sides up over time now that I have this case:

Cheap Chinese bumper for now: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ACOTEI8/

I wanted to go with a bumper this time around since I want something minimalist as much as possible. I bought mine off of Ebay for $2 from some place in China. This was the only bumper I could find pre-launch and they were all over Alibaba and AliExpress. It is lacking in protection of the top right corner and the bezel around the camera.

I do NOT recommend this bumper. It is only worth $2 really. I'm going on vacation so I needed something soon and I wasn't willing to spend more on anything that I wouldn't like long term. I'm hoping for a good quality bumper that provides better protection, but I may just resign myself to getting the Spigen Neo Hybrid even though it has a closed back. I have the Slim Armor on another phone and is a testament to Spigen's quality, it just took a remarkably thin feeling S4 and made it feel average in thickness.

I'm with you this...my bro showed me this case on his note 3 when he got it and I thought was slick. Researched the company while I was waiting for my note to arrive and realized that they were only offering their new note 3 cases via authorized TMO stores only. I even emailed them in the UK to see if I could get it cheaper online and they said to check back periodically to find out when they'd be selling them online. Really dig the D3O technology behind it. Guess time will tell... :D

and made it default for home screen, but Status Bar is always white and it doesn't fit and looks annoying xS

is there any way or solution to make it black as normal ? i've tried some apps from play store but it's drain battery and stupid as well..

waiting for ur help

ok so basically KIES 3.0 for Mac is a failure...it won't recognize the GT-i9300....

booted into bootcamp win8 and curiously enough, according to Samsung official Kies page, the recommended Kies version for i9300 is 2.0 not 3.0.

3.0 apparently for devices newer than Note III....

anyway, Kies 2.0 ran ok, updated latest FW suggested by program, now it's 4.1.2 but of course Orange branded.

I noticed there are several unbranded 4.1.2 FW on Sammobile, like the BTU you mentioned above for UK, but also found one for Romania apparently not operator linked, example:

UK - BTU July 2013 - i9300XXEMG4

RO - ROM August 2013 - i9300XXEMG4

Would it make a difference which one i install?

Right now Kies installed i9300XXEMF1 (ORO)

LE: forgot to mention, now the "software update" tab is visible in the settings / about phone menu.....in 4.0.4 it wasn't.
