Haha yea it does match well...I was trying to scale the .png down to add it to the Droid Launcher, but it was too small to even see. LOL Whats really irritating is when I activate my phone the clock in the taskbar is different from the clock widget. LOL
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That would actually look cool if the logo fit into the circle on the launcher, is that what you were trying to do?

It seems the stock clock widget knows the phone is locked, so doesn't bother updating. I know some others mentioned using some alternative clock widgets, earlier in this thread, that do seem to update while locked.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Yea, I figured that. Although, I like the full screen weather animation. Here is another one I made...But, notice the white around the entire Lion? That bothers me...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
So edit it in photoshop or paint. Color the white to say, red, then select the black, delete it, and color the red to black.

EDIT: Or do you mean the little white dots around the image? That's easy to fix, too.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Yea, talking about the white around the black. Sadly im not using Photoshop.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
if you post the original PNG someone might be able to fix it for ya (zip it since some say pngs get converted to jpgs when uploaded here)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
hhahaha this is too easy...Check out the Droid Launcher...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Here you go...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Konikub:
Bro that is a sick launcher set up....anyway you could share how it's done, or perhaps make one without the 'mariners' and make it black???? :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
The black launcher is somewhere in the themes thread...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Konikub:
yah, the launcher is on my desktop as well....I was just wondering if there was a way to get the nexus 'thingies" to each side of the launcher as well? I am currently using the helix launcher and it's hot and all....but I think I want my sense back :o
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
oh gotcha...Unzip this and drag these into Rosie.apk /res/drawable-normal-port-mdpi/ adb push it back to your phone and reboot...should change the sides.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
Gimp has come along quite well, these days it is on par with PS CS3 or so, not bad for a free program.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Konikub:
Okay I found the rosie with the "phone text" off and only the symbol of the phone there....it's the clear rosie. I added the little nexus thingy's to each side as well.....Thanks Obannvi!!!!

New queston...what is the phone symbol "png" called so I can maybe change that to some other kind of symbol. Also what folder is it found inside the rosie.apk

Thanks all
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gohamstergo:
Here YOU go. Let me know if it works.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Haha, beat by 2 minutes!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:

ps. is there an zip for me to flash it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This feature has already been implemented on the Vanilla lockscreen as well.

thanx,please forgive my blindness.=)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Reverse

So check out this cool little twist on the lockscreen. Since I seem to be into the whole "white" theme, with the taskbar, launcher, etc, I decided to flip the colors on the lock screen text, and use a white background with black for text on the clock & date, rather than the traditional white font on black background.

Anyone interested in this?

Versus the traditional scheme:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
looks good
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Been playing with my lockscreen design still... I found an interesting issue with no box at the bottom. If you miss a call, it shows it on the lockscreen. The text is white though, so it makes it very hard to read.

This is what I came up with in the interim? Kinda ugly, but I can at least read missed calls from the lockscreen now. The text for 'Screen locked' is readable at the bottom now too...

What do you think? Should I just combine the two bars into one big one? Or should I do something else?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] usq:
very nice work!

jschisurf-

great work! thanks for the instructions. works very well. i havent yet done my own lock screen but i will soon. i am also rocking your white droid theme also.

the only issue i had installing was after i applied the 'clear lock screen only zip' my previous wallpaper was stuck under it. went back and cleared the cache and reapplied and all is good.

you might want to clarify in your posts for the stand alone clear lock screens that people still need to clear their cache. probably common sense but... a lot of people lack it (who has two thumbs and needs to be told twice?... this guy).

cheers and thanks again,

ryan
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
How much more clarification do you need????
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] usq:
dense!

i know, i know. i can be dense. i was just following the directions from the link on 'clear lock with menu fix'. no reminder to clear the cache on that post. people like me sometimes need reminders. :rolleyes:

it didnt take me more than a second or two to figure out my mistake.

cheers,

ryan
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No worries, glad you got it to work. I've got a few different versions floating throughout the thread. Rule of thumb is to always read through the initial post first.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
I used the one for an un-modded dc2.05 and it didnt work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It has been confirmed to work for DC, so there has to be something that went wrong in the process.

What specifically do you see? Did you clear your cache in all locations? Details.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
Followed instructions in OP... lemme go back and get them. Edit comingsoon.

adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *

cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*

exit

I did a nandroid beforehand, and the file I got from you I changed the lockscreen image and resigned it, and flashed it. Went back to factory lockscreen :(

If I need to clear cache in "all locations" what settings do I lose? My fiance sets my phone up for me LOL so I dont want to make her have to do it a 7th time now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The instructions you posted above are what I am referring to in terms of "cache". I'm only talking about cache as it relates to lockscreen images, nothing else.

I would start with flashing everything unmodified, just to get a baseline. Also, are you flashing the version to clear out the lockbar, or no?

Screen shots would also help.

Again, something appears to be going wrong in your process.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jerry43812:
My exact process:

I modified the lockscren to something I desired. DId not change name of it. I know it is important to not change the name.

Then I did my nandroid.

Then I followed the steps in the code box that I posted and you quoted.

Then I flashed this zip after I resigned it with my lockscreen: ClearLockScreenStockRosie_DC20r5

Will upload the file so you can have a peek.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
I would try not modifying the lockscreen with your own image until you flash it successfully. My guess is it ****ed something up in the process...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Black Text Lockscreen

Okay, per a few posts up, I figured I would release the inverted version of the lockscreen as well. By inverted I mean I've switched the text from white on black, to black on white.

Because the text is now black, and most wallpapers seems to be darker in nature, I went ahead and included a themed lockscreen by default on this was, as otherwise, the text (time/date) would likely not be visible by default. Customize lockscreen_topedge.png to your liking, it's the Android guy by default, per the screen capture below.

This includes the menu key disable feature as well, and flashes the HtcLockScreen apk only.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
@jerry43812, were you able to resolve this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Well, well, well, looky here....I was fvcking around with launcher.xml in Rosie.apk and ended up removing the "Remove" text from the launcher bar. I also made the trash can transparent. I also added a new Droid launcher...Take a look...If you want the .xml to remove the "Remove" text, then download below and unzip it and place it in layout-port folder. Im not making any updates for the Droid Launcher because too many people complain...

Removing an icon. Notice the "Remove" text is gone?? :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kratos313:
nice any way to make this flashable or use it with Metamorph?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's BAD A$$. Nicely done. Did you create that version of the launcher , or did you find it somewhere? I really like it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Yes! Please post the launcher! I'd love to mod it to make it black to fit my theme!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
You didnt read my post did you? I said I wasn't going to make a flashable .zip because too many people complain. Not to mention the resources are part of com.htc.resources.apk which I have heavily modified. Thus the reason for people complaining. Oh yea I forgot, Metamorph blows ass so you'll never see me make stuff for it. :D

I found it...Its kinda small on my screen though. The one I found was for higher resolution screens.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
What's the name of it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Here is a .zip of the images...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks. I'm going to tinker with these as well, but I see what you mean about the size / resolution.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Yea, its tiny. But, the old Droid Launcher was getting tiresome. LOL
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
i used the framework-res.apk out of fresh 20d which is what i'm running and changed the notification bar, the drop down notification top and bottom to green.

and the com.htc.resources.apk out of the black droid dc202 which i have installed and changed the bottom droid launcher to green and then pushed the apk to my device using fresh kitchen.

the old curvy lockbar is back, even when I dl the clear lockscreen. the old stock curvy bar overlaps the green android guy and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. The text isnt there. I didnt see the curvy stock lockbar in any of the folder. am i missing it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
See this post earlier in this thread regarding the stock HTC lockscreen images.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
dude you are awesome! thanks i can't believe i overlooked those three files like 10 times. just deleted those images in the com.htc and now perfect. you've been very helpful and to be honest i'm surprised my phone is still working. if you're ever in Kansas City I owe you drinks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
thanks jschisurf!

finally. think i got it where i want it...at least this weekend.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Nice work, that's looking pretty solid!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sdotcarlisle:
Thanks man :D

Clear lockscreen with shaded notification area

Okay, based on a request from this thread, I went ahead and created 3 new zips that you can flash, that will, in addition to the other features, include the shaded area at the bottom of the lockscreen, ONLY when a notification is present:

Clear LockScreen, Menu unlock disabled, shaded notification:

Download

Completely Clear LockScreen (no time/date), Menu unlock disabled, shaded notification:

Download

Clear LockScreen, Black text for time/date, Menu unlock disabled, shaded notification:

Download

The attached zips are for the lockscreen only. You will have to flash one of the zips in the first post, if you need to clear out your lockbar as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Did you get my PM in between vomiting? ROFL :p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Master K:
Help please

OK I have read a bazillion posts and threads about lockscreen hacking. I Have done a number successfully, signed and all.

Today I tried to do a new design and I am having a strange problem. It is my first design that is meant to be full screen and everytime I make the file and flash it there is a margin and it does not look right, despite the fact that the image is 320x480.

Is there a margin or image size command in the xml files? I have never messed with those, I am a photoshop guy. The image I created mostly covers the Sense closk (since it does not update while the phone is locked but it leaves the weather visable and the rest of the screen is in a black gradient that is prettly light opacity. The time on the lockscreen I am using is white. The image is attached.

If any one could tell me where I went wrong I would appreaciate it.

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
I would go with beautiful widgets or some other clock replacement that does work through the lockscreen. Digital Clock Widget by Maize does. That is going to look ugly with the htc sense clock covered up.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Master K:
While I appreciate your input, I have tried other widgets and I like the real sense clock the best. I want to learn how to make the lockscreen in any event.

Anyone able to help???

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danaff37:
Hey chi, if all I wanted to change was the menu unlock,I assume it's in a smali? Which one?

Also, can you change where it says sprint to something else? If you can just tell me which files I think I can get it from there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unkernet:
Can you also make standart htc lockscreen (without transpatent) with menu key disabled? Thanks.

Has this mod been tested on the latest Fresh ROM 2.1.1?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aisseleacim03:
Ready to jump

I am about to jump and install this lockscreen with Menu key disabled (this function has just got me into too much trouble with my phone activating itself because being in my pocket..:rolleyes:)

So I read the inital post where it tells us to clear the wall paper cache either with kitchen or adb.

Has anyone done it through Root Explorer?

With Root explorer I can find and access data/misc/lockscreen folder (which has nothing in it so I dont know what I would be removing) and also system/customize/resources where i find a whole bunch of jpg, two of which are htc_wallpaper_01.jpg and htc_wallpaper_14.jpg.

Are those the ones to be removed by the adb promt of rm htc_wallpaper* ?

Any guidance and help will be appreciated...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] diordnahero:
It's not working for me. I'm using Fresh Toast :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jdgiotta:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] diordnahero:
Following instructions in this thread I'm able to get

clear notification screen working

clear lock

clearlockscreen zip removes "sprint" from my lock but menu button still disables and I still have the background image (not clear).

Chi can you verify the status of this mod in the final sprint release?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Update for Fresh 2.1.2

Okay, attached is the clear stock HTC Lockscreen mod redone based on the deodexed Fresh 2.1.2 ROM.

I am including 3 versions of the mod currently, with potentially more to follow.

First, included is just the HtcLockScreen.apk file itself. This will only clear out the wallpaper and remove the Sprint (carrier name) at the top of the lockbar. It will NOT remove the lockbar graphics (gray/black) arches, so if you prefer to retain these graphical elements, in conjunction with a transparent background, push the attached .apk file to your /system/app folder. In all versions, the menu unlock has also been disabled.

Also, repeating what is in the OP, you will want to be sure to clear any wallpaper caches at the same time you are pushing the .apk file to your phone. For posterity, I will repeat the instructions here:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *

cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*

exit

adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot

Note: You may or may not have anything to delete in your folders, so if you get an error message, don't worry. The 'adb push' command assumes the .apk file is in the current directory where you are issuing the commands.

For those who want to also remove the the lockbar (gray/black arches) from the lockscreen, use one of the MetaMorph files below, rather the pushing the .apk referenced above. In addition to making your background transparent, and removing the carrier text, it will also clear the lockbar garphics in the com.htc.resources framework file, resulting in the display of time & date only on your lockscreen (see screen shot below).

As always, themers can modify 'lockscreen_topedge.png' within HtcLockScreen.apk to create custom lockscreens. Also, as you will see in the screen shots, I've kept the black shaded background, that only appears when notifications pop up, in order to keep the text legible.

HtcLockScreen.apk <--- Themers, experienced users, etc, adb push to your /system/app folder

XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application

THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application

Note: As always, when applying updates to your /system/framework using MetaMorph, your phone may freeze and or force close numerous applications. A REBOOT is required.

Reference:

Notice also in the second screen shot that I removed the text "...or press menu...", since the 'menu unlock' has been disabled :).

After you apply any of the options above, if you then wish to have the completely clear locksceen, with no text at all, apply the appropriate MetaMorph below to remove the remaining text. As you see in the screen shot below, I have defaulted the Android logo for the all clear lockscreen, as otherwise, there would be no visual to swipe. Replace as you desire via 'lockscreen_topedge.png'.

XML MetaMorph Control File for No Text <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application

THM MetaMorph Control File for No Text <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application

Sorry to revive the old thread but I'm new to theming. I'm planning on running nfinitefx's Sprint 2.27.651.6 STOCK Deoxed ROM and am thinking of trying out this clear lock screen. Is this possible? If so, which zip from the OP should I try?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Yikes.

I'll wait until the Modders have set to work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Well, If you want to point me to where you got your original launcher, since I'm feeling generous, I'll modify it for you...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Man, that would be amazing.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
dude that is exactly what I was trying to get out. Sorry to confuse you. Cherrio

Surf, where exactly do you go to that in the zip file. Can you do that on your computer?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ccapasso:
Worked perfectly :)

Also, if anyone wants this signed zip, let me know ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
so i followed the steps and ended up with this lockscreen :\
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lostnfound53:
This is great! Exactly what I had been missing from the 1.5 ROMS. The only thing to make this even better is a clear notification screen ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's funny! Attached is the signed zip for clear lockscreen with black droid launcher. Only flash this if you already have an espresso/droid launcher, not stock Rosie.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Howdya get the green guy in there ? Or is that part of your wallpaper ?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sweet looks good! Glad it worked for you.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
Thats what I am trying to do. But You see how the taskbar changes a little from the Darkstar theme? How would you get rid of that.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Yep, you are going to see this happen as the file to clear out the lockbar also contains launcher elements AND taskbar elements.

You can either wait for a themer to incorporate this file, or modify your original com.htc.resources.apk to include the clear png files for the lockbar as mentioned in a previous post.

EDIT: I am going to modify my original post to include another zip that will only change the HtcLockScreen apk. So, for those that already have a clear lockbar from a previous flash, this won't undo other elements, such as changes made to your taskbar and/or launcher.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
honestly i have never used that as my lockscreen nor is it saved on my sd card
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
is there a software for that or do I do that on the phone its self?, cause i dont mind trying it really does not look that hard to do. (thats what she said)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
you need to manually insert the corrected lockscreen changes into the theme you loaded. otherwise you are overriding some of your current theme from the framwork.apk that has been inserted (Mod's thread explained what would happen)

Edit: nvm, mod is going to add a lockscreen only pkg
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Awesome. Thank you so much.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] marcusva79:
I would love to learn. I have been looking for the software cause what Surf explained to me does not look that hard.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
please support the Darkstar theme!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
I think it looks pretty cool.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] phonetec:
i think it would be cool with the droid, but clear
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] N0J:
lol, thanks for the love.... :p

I'll probably support them all, I already knew how to make a generic one that doesn't touch anything else. Most of my work is by special request anyway ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Modified the original (first) post with another zip that will flash the HtcLockScreen.apk only. Per that post, only use if you ALREADY have a clear lockbar. Doing so will prevent changing your launcher / taskbar.
