Please read the OP fully. I mention this in the post. If you are running stock HTC lockscreen, you have to move it out of the way, in order for the built-in android lockscreen to appear. Nothing drives me crazy more than someone not following the instructions, then claiming it didn't work...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
I think you have to delete the HtcLockscreen to get it to show up

MetaMorphs for Textless Rotary Lockscreen

As mentioned, for ease of use, I've decided to make these requested tweaks available as MetaMorph files, as this is the easiest method to use for applying changes w/o affecting other modifications / themes you may have applied. The attached files are NOT flashable update zips.

Following are 3 tweaks for the vanilla rotary dial. The text for carrier (Sprint), clock, and date HAVE been removed in the attached versions.

You do NOT need to flash the link in the OP for the following mods. The MetaMorphs are self-contained, and will change everything for you.

Textless Vanilla Rotary Lockscreen with Clear Background:

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

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

Textless Vanilla Rotary Lockscreen with Black Background:

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

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

Textless Vanilla Rotary Lockscreen with Wallpaper:

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

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

To try and make applying a custom wallpaper as easy as possible, I default the MetaMorph to auto-apply the wallpaper you see in the screen capture above. To use your own custom wallpaper, simply open the zip file, navigate to 'framework-res\res\drawable', and replace the file named 'default_wallpaper.jpg' with your own file of the same name, then place the zip in your MetaMorph 'AndroidThemes' folder on your sd card and apply the update.

As mentioned previously, your initial reboot may take some time, depending on how many applications you have installed, as your dalvik cache will get rebuilt after the change.

NOTE: When applying framework updates using MetaMorph, your phone may freeze during the update. Wait about 10 seconds after the freeze and pull your battery or issue a reboot via adb.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] GadgetMonger:
For anyone else who may have missed the exsert where the op directs you to another thread for instructions on how to use the lockscreen in this thread, a much easier way to do it is to flash one of flipz's vanilla lockscreens and then flash this one over it. :) Rotary is sweet...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Tried it on darchdroid, it bootlooped.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Yeah, I'd imagine so. This is for Sprint/HTC based ROMs, though it was worth a shot :).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Kinda sucks, this lockscreen is way better than flan.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Did you see my PM John? It seems to freeze when you turn the volume down towards the vibrate. It looks like it will go louder, but not lower. Thats when it freezes...weird.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No, I'll read it and investigate. Thanks for the report.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
No problem. I noticed it last night, but was too tired to do anything...LOL I did find the "Sprint" and removed it, but the stupid clock is elsewhere...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] redram38:
I tried using the black one with text but it comes up clear when I reboot. Do I need to do anything first?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Which file did you use? I just downloaded the stock black with text and applied it, and it worked as expected (black background, non-transparent, with sprint/time/date visible).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] redram38:
I downloaded the same one. I had Vanilla before so don't know. I will download again and try again.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
What's the filename? Just want to make sure you have the right one...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] redram38:
It was the black one, but I redownloaded it and added to my AndroidThemes folder again. It asked me if I wanted to overwrite the one there so I know I had the right one. I ran Metamorph again and replaced the files already there and this time it worked. Kinda weird. But it looks great Thx for this. This phone keeps getting better and better thanks to all you folks on here. Thank you so much.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Cool. Best guess is that the MetaMorph process didn't complete successfully the first time.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
STILL HAVE MY LOCK SCREEN i had before i tried the new one lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Well now that's MUCH better. Read the first post.

Not working is a whole lot different than not appearing...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
damn im a dope ! i got it ... sorry

any way to get the text-less version with out using metamhoph
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ejqr5:
Looks and works great!! Thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. There was indeed a bug in a method that would update the lockscreen graphic, even when the lockscreen was not active, when you put your phone into mute, so that if you turned the lockscreen on after putting the phone into mute, the correct icon will display.

The method necessary to handle this was not present, so I had to essentially re-write it to work.

All files in the applicable posts have been updated, so those who have already installed may want to re-apply.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] GODZSON:
Will be placing in Hero 2.1 mods thread for easy find, will be updated shortly.. Thanks for sharing, great job.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] latchlock:
Been looking for this. I like this lockscreen better than the other one. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
It worked! I also changed the color of the jog dial as well as got rid of the lame arrows. LOL
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
How'd you remove the arrows? Just delete the graphics for them?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Cool. Yeah, I'm getting ready to upload a simple metamorph that can be applied after the fact, to any of the versions, to remove the direction arrows.

Thanks again for the heads up regarding the rocker volume bug.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Make 'em transparent. Pushing up a MetaMorph for it in a few minutes.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
not to confuse the issue too much here, but is there a way to get it to use a wallpaper file other than default_wallpaper.jpg? I'm already using it to set my wallpaper for my home app.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
Alright, sounds good! I'll be sure to use it :)

Question, do you use Photoshop to edit the graphics? Because whenever I edit something in Photoshop, there is a "lock" icon next to the layer in the layer window, and I'm unable to edit anything.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
change color mode to rgb instead of indexed color?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
nice work, i just wish we could remove the clock text from the upper taskbar. seems stupid to have to see 2 clocks on the screen.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
This is a hack to make it work, and do so in a way that is somewhat intuitive.

You can very easily pull the existing default_wallpaper.jpg, rename it, save it back to your sd card, then specify that file to be your default OS background, so that you can use both simultaneously.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Nothing's impossible, though I think it would look weird having a bunch of empty space on the top right of the taskbar.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
No problem. Still having a hard time finding the time. I only found Sprint and charging. Although, without the charging it looks stupid. LOL
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
true although winmo users have the ability to move around there notification icons, wish we could do the same to fill that gap.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
MetaMorph to Clear out Direction Arrows

Okay, here is a quick MetaMorph file that you can use, after applying any version you choose, that will then clear out the direction arrows, if you are so inclined.

First apply your desired lockscreen version, followed by this MetaMorph.

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

THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
is there a config file somewhere where I can specify a different default wallpaper? maybe an ro.config.something string in build.prop?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pritch1011:
thanks this is a nice lock screen :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No, not that I am aware of. But my solution referenced really is quite simple.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thematrixkid17:
Yeah, gotcha. I just like to cook it up the way i'm going to use it. :D Thanks though for the help.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
JS good lookin on the lockscreen:cool:...question i edited your update zip and tried to add all the stuff so the tabs would be your buckeye tabs:) signed it up and everything but when i flash it to my phone it still just looks all normal without the bukeye tabs??? any pointers? i used the kitchen to sign the zip but that normally never gives me a problem...any advice would be appreciated....im not using metamorph btw the way just trying to make it a normal ole update zip...(for me and the homies here in toledo :cool:)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The sliding tabs with the helmet stripes won't translate over to the jog/rotary dial. The only icons that apply across both lockscreens are the unlock (brutus), and the sound on/off (block O) pngs.

This version brings on a whole new set of theme-ing opportunities.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
yea thats what i thought too and thats all i did change out what those still no worky....maybe its that time of the month for my computer..lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
What apk and folder did you place the icons in?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
ok care to share how you got that mariners logo in there and how u go it to move with the jog. wouldlike to put something else in there. thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
'jog_dial_dimple_dim.png' is what repeats itself while the dial scrolls.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
nice but those clocks give me a headache, too many of them, lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
You're entitled to your own opinion.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's why we've got options. With the clockless (textless) version, with either the black or wallpaper backgrounds, you only see the clock in the taskbar. Something for everyone :).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Now if only someone could make this NexusOne Mod live wallpaper stick. Half the time it turns itself off once I wake the phone up...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] redram38:
I used Metamorph to install both the black and wallpaper versions and both times it broke my Mobile Network. I got it back on by turning off and back on but now market apps will not install. They download but will not install. I have to use Nandroid each time. What could be causing this. I extract the theme and select apply all it gets done and reboots on its on. When it comes back the Market is Broke. When the download is done it FC's and says process com.android.vending has stopped
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
How do I theme this with out Metamorph? Like when i look through the files and such there is no pngs to edit?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You'll find the icons in 'framework-res.apk'.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Quis89:
First I'd like to apologize...I'm new at all of this.

But is there a "How To" or anything that I can read about applying a "Metamorph" file? I really want that black background rotary lockscreen. But I'm not sure about how to apply it. I've downloaded the flashable zip on the OP...but I dont know how to apply this metamorph file.

Again...I'm sorry for the question.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
Thanks, is that in the apk its self?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Here is a link to more information on MetaMorph:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591329

Just go to the market and download/install the free version. It will create a folder on your sd card named 'AndrodThemes'. Place the MetaMorph zip into this folder, umount usb, open the MetaMorph application on your phone, pick the applicable theme listed and apply.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Not sure what you are asking. The images used are in the apk, '\res\drawable-mdpi' I believe.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scmastertech:
Same problem here. But the flashable zip works fine for me. I have no idea why its breaking the market with metamorph.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Quis89:
For those who used metamorph to install the black version...how long did it take? Mine has been applying for the past 5 minutes. Should it take this long?

I'm kind of leary to pull my battery but it appears my phone may have frozen...:/

Guess I should have stuck with the clear version....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonesdana:
Does the Sound off work for anyone else?

I was able to morph both the clear lockscreen and the the removal of the arrows successfully. I did notice however that if i have music playing while its locked that the "sound off" does nothing. Is that only for alarms, ringers, etc... It seems to have no affect on the music I am playing.

If it should be muting everything... what should i check?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It'll take a least that long. Be patient, or watch your logcat through adb.

EDIT: Sorry, I think I misread your post. You are not talking about reboot, but rather, applying the MetaMorph, right? As mentioned in the OP, MetaMorph will freeze. If this is the case, indeed pull your batter, reboot, wait a bit, and you should be good to go.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sound off is only for the ringer. This is the same for all the vanilla lockscreens that provide the "mute" feature.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I have no issues whatsoever with the market, and I've flashed every version, multiple times, before posting...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Quis89:
Correct...I'm sorry. I guess I overlooked that in the OP. Ok...thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
When mine froze, I was able to reboot using adb, to avoid having to take my phone out of it's otterbox and put it all back together. Might be a little quicker and less hassle.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
is there anyway to remove the arrows without using metamorph?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sure, just grab the images out of the MetaMorph zip file and manually drop them in your framework-res.apk file, in the same folder you see referenced in the MetaMorph.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
awesome, thanks.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
I have this issue as well. I had installed the Metamorph with the wallpaper and was even able to change it to my preferred wallpaper. However, not being able to install apps from the Market makes this unusable. :( I have Fresh 2.0d.

Sad because I really wanted to have one of the newer Vanilla Android lockscreens with my preferred wallpaper. I don't like having to use an app to do it because there can be lag.

Don't suppose anyone is looking into this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Go To settings > applications > manage application > find the market > click Uninstal updates

Fixes the FC error on installing apps. Not sure what is happening, but its a metamorph issue, NOT this mod.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
Hmmm...that's weird because I had loaded a different lockscreen that took away the graybar on the HTC Lockscreen. I loaded a different update through Metamorph but never had Market problems.

Thanks for the info...may try that option.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That's not a different lockscreen. That's modding the default. There are a whole lot of people using this mod, myself included, who are not experiencing your problem...

The steps referenced above, however, have shown to resolve many people's market related issue(s), regardless of source.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
Thanks I will try it again and keep my fingers crossed that it will work.

Is it typical for metamorph to lock up with every update? It happened with the lockscreen update and the removal of the arrows update?

Will post back later my results.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I think because we where updating the frameworks is why it locked up on this one. Most of your changes will be in those files, so I guess it could be considered normal. Black Berry Battery Pull method FTW!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
Ok, I think I might be having a "duh" moment. But doesn't that uninstall the Market?

Put Metamorph Lockscreens back on...still have Market issues. Above suggestion didn't work because I lost the Market app? :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
If you just click the "Uninstall Updates" button, your market shouldn't disapear. More than likely you will have to flash your rom back over top of what oyu have now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
This happened to me too. What he means is the Market disappeared before he could clear the updates. Odd.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
ooooooohhhhh I get it now.

I figured mine had to do with Apps2SD, after I got it back by flashing my rom again - I had the issue with the FC's, then I could clear the updates. Maybe you need to clear the updates before you start getting the FC's????

If your market icon went missing, you can reinstall by simply browsing with a file explorer to /system/app, and clicking on vending.apk.

I fell in love with this lock when I tried SushiROM. I have since gone back to my older nandroid of DamageControl after thorough wiping. I flashed this lockscreen but I am still getting the background from SushiROM.

I have tried clearing the lockscreen cache (with the pre-kitchen and manually) but it's still there. There are no "/system/etc/lockscreen/port/" or "/data/misc/lockscreen/" directories anymore either. I deleted my HtcLockScreen.apk so I know that's not it. Weird!

Any advice?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm thinking you are still running off the modified XML file in framework-res.apk that specifies for the rotary lockscreen to use / point to a wallpaper.

If you have access to your original, unmodified, framework-res.apk file, you can pull:

framework-res.apk\keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock.xml

And drop it in the same place in you existing setup, and you should be good to go.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] th3taman:
I lost my market app after pressing the uninstall button. Actually, it was there until I rebooted. Then it was gone.

Damn, wish I had seen your post before I flashed a backup. It didn't fix it. Then tried to reflash ROM, it didn't work? Could be because I installed a2sd recently? Went one more nandroid back further and fixed it.

Reinstalling a2sd. Debating on whether to try this again? Hmmmm.

Airplane Mode

When I go into airplane mode the lockscreen says incorrect pin code and when I disable airplane mode it still says the same. Is there any way to make it say airplane mode when on and say my mobile providers name when off. Or if it could just say Sprint while airplane mode is off or on is fine with me.

Music Controls

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but will the music player controls show up on this lockscreen the way they do on the stock one? I've yet to find one that will allow it, but if not I'll just deal with it. The rotary style looks way better. ^^
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nemesys504:

That's probably why. The older version of MetaMorph is posted somewhere in the forum. I'd look for it and revert back.
