OK, I've been thinking these thoughts but kept them to myself until I had a chance to try the new lock screen. Now I've tried it.

First, why no carrier name? I can find it by dragging down the notification bar, but why not show it with the clock? I'm not the only one who complained about the lack of a carrier name in the older lock screens that came packaged with CM roms in the 3.x series. I'm a Tmo customer and usually see Tmo, but I need to see when it changes to AT&T in certain special areas. I think carrier name comes in the default lock screen for a good reason.

Second, how do the interactive controls work? The music player says work in progress, the text bubble is a placeholder, the battery meter is poor/rough approximation that drains the battery and the settings seems inappropriate for a lock screen. Shouldn't any settings be accessed after unlocking?

The most useful part of the new lockscreen is the clock, but the default android lockscreen has a clock and the carrier name.

So, I'm sorry. I have nothing against stericson and this is a great option. I'm all for options. I just would hate to have to have this lockscreen to be able to use a ROM or a Theme that I like. It should remain an option. It should not be bundled, IMO.

Thanks for reading.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Stericson claims that the new lockscreen does not drain battery, since it now uses the Android's built-in battery meter functionality now.

If you would like, you can post in his lockscreen thread for support. I have not noticed any drastic change in battery.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
The carrier name thing is something you would have to take up with Stericson in his thread. I would recommend contacting him - he's very helpful and responsive.

Music player support is coming - and when it does, it will be worth the lockscreen. Music is a huge part of why I got the Android. He tweeted that the comment bubble will be owner contact info, or a customizable message - which is a big leap. Most of the apps for that right now are useless, or more of a crappy hack. The settings are being moved.

As for the battery drain, again - you should take that up with Stericson. From everything that I know about the lockscreen, and way it works, is that there is no additional drain to the battery. It uses the built-in battery function, and takes no more battery than the statusbar battery...it is not the same as his last lockscreen. And the image is actually to the closest 5% of the actual battery..I know because I put them there.

I understand your concerns. That is why i am not putting this into Enoch...it is in EnochX, which is experimental. Just like the 4.1.10.1 ROM that it is currently built for. And Cyanogen has mentioned how this will be in the next ROM. So...I could somehow rebuild the services.jar (which is beyond me), or preempt Cyanogen's changes...and try to keep up with all the other theme designers, and the requests of people who use this theme.

Do you see my position.

I will keep an eye on the lockscreen issues (which I have been doing, very closely) and see if anything changes for the worse. If there is more negative support against the lockscreen, or something surfaces (like battery drain), then I will make a decision then.

Until then, as I said before - I have not noticed any major issues, and it stays in the experimental branch for now.

Would hate to see you go, revwillie. :(
[Android Themes] bcrook:
Hmm, interesting. My battery just crashed and burned today - will kepp looking. I was also streaming online radio over wifi, thats pretty bad for the battery.

Keep up the amazing work and I appreciate the response. I know how much effort it takes to patiently respond to everyone.

I inquired with stericson about fixing the double posting of Rogers on the standard lockscreen. He said to checkout keyguard_screen_lock.xml in the framework-res file. I believe you need to compile the files from source because the xml files are encrypted. You can set the height and width to 0 in order to cancel out the carrier display...I assume you could try the opposite.
[Android Themes] yosho:
Yep, and yep. Of note, I just did about 1hr pandora over 3g, and batt is down to 68%. I am bumping the screen a lot, so I am sure the extra screen ontime is not helping.

Easy way to check the batt use thing... Menu - Settings - About - Battery Use.

Mine is 34% Cell Standby, 29% Phone Idle, 24% Wifi (was on that until I started the streaming), 8% Display, 2% Voice Calls, etc...

Perhaps yours will show something far off from this. Might show another program that is just barely problematic under Donut / Android 1.6. Might just be something that works ok, but prevents the power saving features from saving power, and the CPU is sticking at 100% clock.
[Android Themes] bartman1973:
I love this theme!

Feels like i have a new phone again:p

EnochX v1.3.6 works on CM4.1.11.1 to:D
[Android Themes] moombe:
I have been using the signed-enoch-1.3.zip over the Cyanogen 4.0.4 ROM.
[Android Themes] palexr:
Just testing that. I upgraded to CM4.1.11.1 and then flashed EnochX over it and my camera, video and gallery apps disappeared... Chances are I did something wrong though, checking right now...

EDIT

Yep, seems to be working so far. I had flashed CM4.1.11.1 and then simply flashed EnochX over it straight away without booting into CM4.1.11.1 first - n00b.

I especially love how easy it is to tidy the application draw by hiding things, creating sub foders, etc...

Who needs Hero? Not me!
[Android Themes] nightshiftc:
Testing 1.3.6

Enoch is definitely the nicest theme available imo.

I am testing it in CM 4.1.10.1 and have one suggestion. The look of the Camera/Camcorder is atrocious. If you could make that look like the rest of the theme, glossy and whatnot - that would be great. :) Thanks in advance if you can do that.

I like the Cyan blue you are using, I would not like to see it go dark blue, but that might be because I am a girl. :)

I preferred the skinnier font from the 1.3 release for CM 4.0.4. Is there any way I can change this release back to that font?

I will be trying 1.3.6 on 4.1.11.1 later.

Any chance of this release without the new lockscreen? I'd rather wait until it is working completely - even if it has bugs - but right now it is half dead.

Thanks for the great work!

I'm buying you two beers...
[Android Themes] JimmyJayCEO:
Thanks for keeping up with cyanogen with all the updates that are being released. There are very few of you that are keeping up right now. The theme looks good and cant' wait for the update. keep it up
[Android Themes] bartman1973:
I'm a man and like the cyan better 2 :p

For the font, read the big red at the first page ;)
[Android Themes] slcikx:
Its an amazing theme good job..!!!

will you be releasing a 4.1.11.1 ?
[Android Themes] trusteelfan:
Release the update without the lockscreen. I use lock 2.0 anyways. You can update later if you like.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Yes...very soon.

Thank you so much! I will enjoy them tonight. ;)

Also, see the above post by bartman for the font solution.

As for the colors...did you see the palette I posted? I'm trying to tone down the aqua, but not by too much. Most of the bluish tint will remain. Trying to be gender neutral. if you could find a better in-between color, it would be awesome.

Not sure why you're having those problems. Try reflashing 4.0.4 and then my theme. The others were complaining about EnochX with the new lockscreen. Your 4.0.4 release does not contain that.
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
looking forward to the update! one of only reason i like the new lockscreen is because i can do custom lock screen wallpaper... when i was on cupcake i was able to do custom lockscreen even without the new lockscreen, too bad something in donut preventing that from happening now, so in order for custom wallpaper i have to do it with the new lockscreen.
[Android Themes] caleoss:
how do u set custom wallpaper for new lockscreen?? im on CM 4.1.10.1 with this theme
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
you have to do it manually since stericson hasnt made an official method yet to change. go into framework-res.apk and replace the one of his background images "zzlockscreenback.png" with one of your choice. resign and reflash the theme.

nice! (by the way, i replaced some of enochx' pngs with official hero ones, so that is why it doesnt look like 100% enochx haha, but rest assured enochx is running at the base.)
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Hahaha....No worries. Just FYI, I have to wait for the new lockscreen to update. We'll see what happens.

But, for now, here is EnochX 1.3.7. NO NEW LOCKSCREEN! I will start releasing one with a lockscreen-and one without.

09.18.09 - Download here (11.3 MB) | MD5sum

or scan here:

Changelog:

- Removed new lockscreen...now it will be optional

- Updated for 4.1.11.1
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
thanks for the update! i still like your theme, it's one of the few remaining GOOD black themes. people are making transition to lighter/white ones now which isnt my flavor haha.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Thank you! Yes, and I know you like the lockscreen. The new one will be coming as soon as Stericson releases an updated version. ;)
[Android Themes] bubonik:
Is there a guesstimate on a timeframe for stericsons lockscreen version?
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
itll depend on stericson and when he releases the update for his lockscreen. so you can try asking stericson about it since drpfenderson says he will update the theme as soon as stericson updates his lockscreen files.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
When he releases a new version.
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
theme doesnt boot up! after your animated bootimage, it just switches to a blank/black screen and my buttons remain light up...
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Yeah...sorry - I uploaded a new file a couple of minutes after uploading the first. Redownload...it has been fixed.

If you need, from recovery console, use "ums_enable" to mount and "ums_disable" to unmount to swap out the theme file to reflash.

Sorry about that. :(
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
ahhh i see, lucky for backup, will try new one thanks.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
hahah...yes. As I mention many a time, backup with the experimental branch (EnochX) is necessary.
[Android Themes] bubonik:
My bad, I posted that with the assumption you had more info than his thread.
[Android Themes] revwillie:
Thank you. For the record, this is my favorite theme and not just because you made it easy to add the Cantarell font. I definitely recognize that some folks don't like that font the way I do and appreciate how you've made it easy to remove as well. There are some things I love about that lockscreen, but forgetting eye-candy and focusing on usability, the lack of carrier name represents loss of important information.

I applaud your decision to not only provide a lockscreen-less version but to do the extra work of providing a lockscreen version. That, coupled with your record of keeping up with the CM experimental builds, makes your Theme the best hands-down.
[Android Themes] cal2ga:
I second that!!!!! :D
[Android Themes] ivanmmj:
Do you plan to theme the new lockscreen?

If so, you could always make it a separate update on CM Updater. (I should be pretty simple. Unless you plan to include it in the skin as default... if that's the case, nevermind.)
[Android Themes] CoopZor:
i totally agree, for now it offers no surplus.

If it is finished it may well be worth installing it.
[Android Themes] nightshiftc:
LOL. Yeah it is a nice color. I do not think it is girly, but I guess some guys might.

As for the font, not quite sure how I missed that huge red sentence. Sorry about that. Just one questions though: Will that just update the font and keep me at 1.3.7 or will it revert me back to like 1.3.6 or 1.3.5?
[Android Themes] nightshiftc:
Nice. You deserve it 1.3.6 and then 1.3.7 back to back - that is dedication. :)

As for the palette, I will go through and check out what you are suggesting - who knows I may like it more. I will let you know. I know it is more acceptable for a girl to like guy stuff than vice versa.

One thing I noticed is that the lock screen doesn't have that glossy look it had when I had 1.3.5 - can you add that on the next release? It looks so sweet.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] palexr:
Ok, just tried 1.3.7 but had to nandroid back to 1.3.6 even though I am on the latestCM. I just couldn't get the browser to work, it kept crashing with an "unexpected" error.

I just flahed it over 1.3.6, should I've wiped? Anyone else got this problem?
[Android Themes] fit333:
+1.. browser fc on 1.3.7 :eek: (missin' the lock screen)

ummm..can some one please post 1.3.6...i deleted mine grrr.
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
you can find all versions past and present on his website: http://drpfenderson.japanties.org/
[Android Themes] fit333:
tx much ;)
[Android Themes] pychobj2001:
I just like the huge clock...I think i'm just gunna grab lock 2.0 so I can get a big clock,
[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
How can I install Stericson's lockscreen to work with this theme (since you removed it)? Do I just flash the lockscreen update after flashing this theme?? Let me know thanks :cool:
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
he will update with stericson's soon. read his post. he said he will update when stericson release his update.
[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
No dude not what I'm asking. I'm asking how I can install Stericson's current lockscreen now and use it with this theme? I don't care to wait til the lockscreen is "finished" - it's finished as far as im concerned. This theme included Stericson's lockscreen yesterday and now its gone...(or optional as the creator said) so I'm wondering how to get it with this theme.
[Android Themes] yosho:
The new CM includes some new browser stuff. Try clearing your browser cache and data from the application settings panel. It is likely just the browser not liking some of the old settings / cache data.

1.3.7 working a charm here. silky and luscious.

I haven't wiped for several versions (since BFS was included for the scheduler).
[Android Themes] downloadsking:
Just got done installing this theme damn this s<<< looks nice great job
[Android Themes] bkmo:
Stericson has NOT updated the lockscreen to be compatible with 4.1.11.1 yet.....Dude.
[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
Um he didn't have to update it because his lockscreen from 4.1.9 WORKS ON 4.1.11.1. I'm using it with gChrome on 4.1.11.1 at the moment. Don't tell me something you have no idea about...
[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
And he just released new features...http://twitter.com/Stericson
[Android Themes] SolemnWishing:
I used this build for quite a while, but I just really wanted HTC Music so I switched to another theme. Maybe put that in the next build along with the lock screen?

And, I just wanted to mention, I think your theme has possibly the awesomest boot screen ever. Its simple yet just fascinating to me.
[Android Themes] wngmv:
Crash report:

v1.3 on 4.0.4, browser kept forcing close. Had to flash back.

Newest radio and SPL. Recovery menu 1.4. White G1.
[Android Themes] yosho:
Just because it works, doesn't mean it won't have issues down the line.... perhaps it had some obscure conflict that would cause chickens to grow lips, or some such on 1/10th of the phones out there? I doubt Stericson would specifically state a version for a certain CM build unless he had good reason. No reason for anyone to get in a snit.

Regardless, the new version is out, so you can grab at will a version that is more likely to be reliable in the mix.
[Android Themes] scoopman:
1.3.7 unstable

I'm getting a lot of instability with 1.3.7 running on the latest 4.1.11.1 release.

It's specific applications, including Browser, Wapedia, Gallery, etc. Force close all the time, despite my clearing all cache data and even doing a reinstall of one (Wapedia).

1.3.6 runs nicely, thou with 4.1.11.1 so I've reverted back to that and everything seemed fine.
[Android Themes] NguyenHuu:
works fine for me, not one force close with the new version. been using since he released it several hours ago and still good.
[Android Themes] fit333:
Help. Please don't, that thing seems gimmicky and bloated..and has no delete option.

Great work! Theme enoch.x still the best! Looking forward to coming updates ;)
[Android Themes] palexr:
Thanks just tried that, but no luck. Gone back to 1.3.6 as it works faultlessly.

EDIT

Arghhhh! Now Market doesn't work in my nandroid backup! Right, re-installing 4.1.11.1, booting in to it, then recovery, flash 3.1.7, no wipes, see what happens.

Does anyone think I should go the long way about it though? Wipe, re-format, flash ROM, flash theme
[Android Themes] pychobj2001:
I get the same problem, but only after I flashed the lock screen, then reflash the 1.3.7 theme, it still won't work...i am deleteing dalvik cache now, if that doesn't work i'm gunna reflash 4.1.11.1 then the theme in that order....no stericson lockscreen. and the lockscreen must be included in the rom to uphold the theme, i updated the lockscreen by itself, it reskinned the notification bar back to original..yuck...and i think it messed up the browser, like it has in the past for me...idk..i'm just babbling now...

Edit: deleted "Dalvik-Cache" didn't work, deleted data and cache from settings didn't work, pushed 1.4.2 newest loccy browser to phone and that also didn't work, I am gunna try to do the above mentioned, flash new CM, test browser..flash theme, test browser, and not flash stericson lockscreen..see if that is the problem....
[Android Themes] pychobj2001:
Ok, I reflashed to cm 4.1.11.1 and the stericson clock is there? i know it's not included in the rom...what the fudge...? but the stock browser works.....next step...i'm gunna push the loccy browser by itself no theme..and see if it works.........ok, still works.....now for the 1.3.7 flash.........i wish there was a way that they could make the boot up image a running logcat, that would be great.....ok, not stericson lock screen, browser crashes..i think that stericson stuff is still mucking about in the background causing things to get messy w/ this theme...i'm gunna try to reflash stericson lock screen...i don't want to cause it breaks theme look...but maybe that will fix it...

Edit: I flashed the lockscreen and the browser works again.....so it's lockscreen related, but i don't know how to only wipe just the lockscreen data w/out wiping..?...i have to find stericson's forum to report this to him as well....time to just switch to a whiteish walpaper w/ a white flipclock...until all is well...
[Android Themes] yosho:
Hmm... The only thing I can imagine if you had done the wipe etc, would be some of the .apk files on your SD card. If you are using an ext partition, try backing up your files, then format the ext partition.

Another idea would be if some obscure permission got changed... running the fix_permissions may be worth a shot.

When all else has failed me, this is the path I usually take:

backup my ext partition, and place the current CM and theme zips on the fat32 partition on the SD card

Boot into recovery

take a nandroid backup

wipe

format the ext partition (Ra's recovery has a card partition setup of it's own, works a treat, but however you prefer)

With ext and phone clean, write the CM rom.

reboot phone, wait for the initial setup screen and get signed in. At this point, I usually enter the Market and re-download stuff so I don't lose my apps list.

Once things have settled down, reboot into recovery again.

apply the theme zip, and reboot

Once things have booted, wait 1-2 minutes, just in case, then reboot phone again

After it is booted, get busy.

While certainly not the quickest, in the past it has gotten me past just about any problem I have had that was not immediately identified by everyone else on the CM thread as a common issue (camera not working, etc).

I hope something in the above mess helps.
[Android Themes] revwillie:
not sure what the deal is. Advanced launcher or maybe the calendar widget or I don't know what. When I try to rotate the screen, I often lose all widgets and shortcuts. Then I have to reboot to restore them.

I'll start by reporting it here because the problem seems to show up right after I flash the theme. I went back to plain CM and the problem was gone. Flashed EnochX again and the problem came back. I can elevate this to the CM thread or the Advanced Launcher thread if appropriate. I just don't know how to make sense of the logcat: http://pastebin.com/m3b4de12c
[Android Themes] krstnsn:
Ive had this happen to my in the past. But its done it to my 6 times today. Though i dont think its when i rotate. maybe. i just push back out of and app and there are no icons or widgets.

However im on CM 4.1.11.1 with Enoch.X 1.3.6 haha.
[Android Themes] orangeee:
I've put this theme on my G1 twice now, and both times I have had some major issues after a few weeks. Everything has worked great for the last two weeks, but today it will not allow me to access my text messaging. Every time I open it I get the FC message. Previously I had an issue where every time I booted up it would give me a FC message and I couldn't even get to the phone. Any idea why this would occur? I really like the theme, but I can't re-flash it every two weeks.
[Android Themes] palexr:
Thanks for your help yosho. I did a wipe in the and reflashed CM 4.1.11.1 then enochX and it all appears to be working for the moment.
[Android Themes] ivanmmj:
I've had no problems so far. And I can't wait until he gets back and themes the released lockscreen.
[Android Themes] Frogzilla:
hello mr. drpfenderson

is there a way that if anyone chooses to put up the widget of an analog or digital clock that the clock on the status bar can disappear?

also, some off those new start screens like the stericson screen - is there a way to totaly intergrate that with the status bar? it seems to me that instead of adding to the home screen we should be manipulating what's already there.

thnks,

frogzilla
[Android Themes] Devnex:
I was wondering if there was any chance of getting HTCmusic on this. I think it would flow with the theme a lot better.
[Android Themes] yosho:
Please read back over the thread before asking about HTC Music. It has already been stated that it will not be a part of the main theme, but that he may make it available as an addon.
[Android Themes] Devnex:
I read that back on the first page. Which is why I was asking to see if its crossed his mind again at this point.
[Android Themes] FernandoMiguel:
notifications from gtalk cant be read.

the text is dark, as is the backgound.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Woah. Odd.

What version of CM are you using? Also, what version of EnochX? Seems that colorchanger.jar somehow didn't work? Or else, you got another framework-apk file that wrote over the current one...

Did you push Stericson's new lockscreen? Because that would have done it.
[Android Themes] bubonik:
The black text on black background happens here also, twidroid is the bext example. CM 4.1.11.1 and 1.3.7 fresh installs and sd card format.
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
You're not using the Stericson lockscreen or anything? You 2 are the first to mention this. I used Gtalk yesterday and the text was white. I'll look into it.
[Android Themes] caleoss:
same for me too, cant read text in status bar....
[Android Themes] bkmo:
I just extracted status_bar.xml from your 1.3.7 release and the hex edit locations for the colors are still set for black text. i used colorchange2 multi yesterday and although it ran correctly, and did the edits correctly, the resulting zip was the same as the original. You can grab the files from the tmpcc-tmp directory and use those, as the edits are done in the files located there. I am trying to upload a new lockscreen update to your 1.3.7 with the correct colors, but on my GPRS connection the upload keeps failing. :mad:

EDIT: Uploaded to 4shared because it kept failing on this site.

Here is the link, it is a regular update file. http://www.4shared.com/file/134113025/1f8b5455/sterlock_enoch137_update.html
[Android Themes] drpfenderson:
Dangit.

Thanks for the catch.

I'll upload an official update immediately.
