So I tried this on my recently rooted Alyosius Snow ROM and although it works, my clock is black lettering and very fuzzy; like there's a haze over it.

I also tried a different wallpaper to see if that was the problem and I still get that "fuzziness" clock. Just not getting that clear, sharp image that everyone else has.

I'm pretty sure no one has mentioned this in the thread, but I've tried it twice now with no luck...Any ideas?

***************

UPDATE:

I flashed to the regular Alyosius ROM and the same symptoms occur. So both regular and snow get fuzzy black text instead of the sharp, clear white numbers that everyone else seems to get...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] pjsockett:
Not sure if I am the only one that would want this or not, but would it be possible to also disable the menu to unlock while installing this. I have used some roms that it didn't work for and my phone never unlocked in pocket as it does from time to time with it enabled.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
That involves editing a different part of the framework and would be too specific to a ROM.

Your ROM has a semi-customized lock screen with the clock and date removed. It may have something to do with this. Is the lock screen still transparent? I may have something better than this for you, but I don't have my Eris anymore to test it on. If you know how to compile smali, you can just make the mod yourself. The mod will show what ever your current wallpaper is on your lock screen including any live wallpaper you are using.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ffknuckles:
After the flash of this, my screen isn't transparent anymore (with a wallpaper) - I can always revert back though. Sorry though, I don't know how to compile smali although I'm a programmer by trade and could always learn if I had a link...

I could always test out your sample mod as well on my eris and just recover if need be.

Just so you know, I've been working on this for the past 3 weeks. I am pretty close to a solution.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Nomad145:
The blurryness is due to the way the Vanilla lockscreen works. It puts a low opacity later right on top the background to better read the clock and date. To fix this you can edit the source for keyguard_tab_screen_unlock.xml in framework-res.apk. Its not rom specific because every rom has this file.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ffknuckles:
Keep me posted if you finally find a solution to this.

It's more of an annoyance due to the fact that I use my phone as a watch too and when the screen's transparent I can see my clock, but sometimes it's hours behind because the widget probably doesn't refresh when idle, leaving me looking at the extremely small taskbar clock to confirm. If I can get this to work, then it would make my day that much better! ha.

I appreciate everyone's work/help on this.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] powERIS:
When I put the .zip file on my sd card and try to use metamorph to apply it, metamorph FCs. I am running EEv3. Anyone have a suggestion? I can just use the transparent one, but would prefer having a background.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dwcasey:
Same here, I'm running xtrROM 3.0.3, however.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jasmarie47:
running xtrROM 3.0.3 as well, I saw a couple of posts here saying they were able to get it to work, wondering why MM keeps force closing on ours???
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] powERIS:
I realized earlier today that for metamorph to work, you must have busybox installed as well. I didn't at the time I was getting FCs (oops), but haven't tried it again since. Let me know if you get it to work...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] aznpenguin:
Needd old metamorph

Yes you need busybox to run metamorph, but the busybox updater in the market doesnt work properly, nor does the metamorph (free ver). Get a file explorer from the market and check /system/xbin to see if busybox is there. If it isnt search on these forums for instructions to install it. Then search for "metamorph apk", it should be the second link down...in the hero forum...for the an older metamorph. Load the apk on your sd card and use a file explorer that can install apks. Make sure you have install nonmarket apps enabled. That should get metamorph working.

Hope that helps!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sydtrakked:
dang you beat me to it! I'll get a just a little more specific...

to get a good busybox download Titanium Backup...

and then what i'm assuming i did to get the newest Metamorph working was the same thing aznpenguin mentioned... install the old Metamorph from the Hero forum and then install the new Metamorph from the market... you can delete the old one once you have the new one installed!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] aznpenguin:
haha :p

i was getting frustrated that noone had a solution to the metamorph issue, so i took matters into my own hands. then proceeded to share what i had found where it was needed. i think i posted this in the metamorph thread in the developers section first, then realized that this thread had people asking about metamorph too. :D

on a side note, if you are rooted (which most people are on these forums) and flashed a custom rom, you should have busybox installed already. i thought i read somewhere that superuser permissions requires busybox. the only way to lose busybox if you use the updater app in the market, or manually delete busybox yourself.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mstamper:
Sorry I didn't respond earlier. It's now a month plus later and I can't remember how many different ROMs I've been through since then. :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sydtrakked:
im just curious... the DeskClock.apk included in OP... is that a replacement so that we don't get the broken Alarm bug???
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] edgeupgx:
I know there were some problems people were having with the alarm clocks not working after flashing the vanilla lockscreen. This is the link I found when I had the same problem all I did was flash the 3rd download from recovery that stated Fix the lock screen, install vanilla clock and uninstall world clock after already having the lockscreen installed and this worked like a charm.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Bill_S_Preston_ESQ:
This is great, so much better than the HTC lockscreen. One thing, when a call comes in it uses the old HTC pull down screen. I haven't had a chance to mess with a phone that uses the other method to see if I could pull something, but is there already a fix for this?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] EricAtUNC:
Is there a way to remove haptic feedback from this lockscreen? I'm lovin' it! Running on Eris with EE3.0.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] coketruck:
Sorry, but I'm really new to rooting and megamorph, so I'm a little unsure of how to do this.

I download the LockWallpaper.zip file, put in in my Android Themes folder, go to Megamorph, selected the .zip file and tell it to extract and apply the theme. Megamorph then brings up a box saying "Please Wait... Applying framework-res.apk theme 1 of 1" , but it stays on that screen indefinitely. I have to reboot my phone to get the process to stop.

By the way, I'm running EvilEris 3.0. Thanks for your help.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] EricAtUNC:
I'm also on EE3.0 and just got this to work this morning. I put the zip in the root of my sd, not in android themes. Then went to MM and selected to unzip, etc. When I did this, it didn't seem like worked. I'm on the eris so I removed the HtcLockScreen.apk (moved to .bak), rebooted and this vanilla screen was enabled.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] coketruck:
What do you mean by "removed the HtcLockScreen.apk (moved to .bak)"? I'm still not up on all the terminology yet.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] EricAtUNC:
Basically, the HtcLockScreen.apk needs to be removed, but instead of flat out deleting it, you rename it to HtcLockScreen.bak, just in case something happens you can revert back to it.

If I remember correctly, you do this from the command line:

adb remount

adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] coketruck:
Okay, yet another stupid question: how do you access the command line? Again, I'm sorry, but I'm very new to this. I need a Rooted Android For Dummies guide or something...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] coketruck:
Bumping the thread for help. I've downloaded the SDK and Eclipse and installed the Android plugin in Eclipse. Now what? How do I go into the command prompt and alter the HtcLockScreen.apk file? Thanks for any help you can give me.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jpen:
So i changed my lockscreen wallpaper to the default one you had...but now i want to switch it however i have a mac and i cant zip a folder unless i do the compression thing so im not sure how else to do it.

EDIT: nevermind i found an easier way to do it.......i put the picture on my phone then went to the sdcard/androidthemes folder and in there was a LockWallpaper folder and i changed out the pic in there for my new one then went to MM and did Pick existing theme and then i selected the xml file in that same folder and it rebooted and worked.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lees79:
custom

my custom lockscreen background if u want to try it
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
Absolutly LOVE this lockscreen! I'm rooted, still running Stock 2.1. I D/L'd the zip, put it on root of my SD card, D/L'd MM and BusyBox from the Market. I unzipped the wallpaper, phone rebooted and had the same stock HTC lockscreen. I'm very new to all things droid so I'm kinda lost now. I don't know if this lockscreen won't work with Stock 2.1 or If I did something wrong I'm unaware of. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone

Anyone??

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] holland0813:
Have to remove the htclockscreen.apk. Can just be renamed. I used root explorer.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
Thanks for helping. I'll try it out :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thetornado:
I did the same thing. You will find where the picture is stored at:

/sdcard/AndroidThemes/LockWallpaper/LockWallpaper/framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi

1. Mount sdcard on computer

2. Replace file referred to above with your own desired picture, must be named "create contact.png"

3. Mount sdcard on phone > MetaMorph > Pick Existing theme > Choose LockWallpaper > LockWallpaper > LockWallpaper.xml > (Close) > Apply all! > (Continue?)

Your phone should apply the current theme you have but now with the new picture. It should restart automatically when the changes are made properly.

I have noticed if your phone asks to reboot manually then it never made the changes correctly, its only when it restarts automatically.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
Where is the htclockscreen located on the sd card? I've tried looking for it in Astro and haven't had any luck.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] thetornado:
I believe you need a different program that gives you root access. I used a program called AndExplorer.

But when I replaced the picture in step 2 up above, I did that with my sdcard mounted on my computer. So that was done through windows explorer.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mistaj:
Yea the lockscreen file is not on the SD card. It's in /system/apps
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
I used Root Explorer and found it. Is the deskclock.apk in the OP the alarm clock that works with the vanilla lockscreen? Also, other than going to a previous nand, is there another way to remove the vanilla lockscreen? I'd assume you just rename the htclockscreen.apk.bak back to htclockscreen.apk?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] es0tericcha0s:
Yea, you would want to rename it and you can delete the other apk by long pressing on it and choosing that option.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
Haha, hey man! I got it working thanks to your help! Much appreciated, thank you so much.

Does anyone know about the deskclock.apk in the OP being the one that works with the vanilla lockscreen? I'm assuming it does but you know what they say about assuming. I saw someone else asked the same thing earlier in this thread and was never answered.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
I've been trying to get back on android forums to pm you back but everytime I try and go to the website it keeps saying database error, over and over and over :mad:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
I d/l the deskclock.apk and it "couldn't be opened or installed" Guess I'll have to deal with no alarm clock for a while :(

I found this link on page 7 or 8 of this thread http://geekfor.me/hero/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/ and just D/L option 3 and I'm in the process of rebooting. I'll be back after reboot to post results

This is working perfectly!! It was kind of a long reboot, 7 minutes, but well worth it to now have a working alarm clock with the vanilla lockscreen. The 3rd option which I flashed removes the old HTC clock and installs the vanilla one so you don't have to worry about having 2 different clocks in your app drawer or setting the wrong one by accident.

Hellp with Lockscreen Background

I put the file I wanted to use as my new background in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/LockWallpaper/LockWallpaper/framework-res/res/drawable-mdpi but everytime I go into MM to apply the new background it says that there are no files there? I just used MM last night for the first time so I'm not very familiar with it. Basically, I have no idea where to go from here, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Cheatman1:
good stuff!!!!!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rdwyer228:
So i'm a noob at this. If i wanted to get this running on the current rom im running (TenzoRCMix-Alpha6) would i just download it, push to my sdcard, then go to metamorph and apply and reboot. Or am i missing crucial steps?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] iarekelly:
Confused

Can't get it to run on Evil Eris 4.0. I try to apply it with MetaMorph but after reboot nothing has changed. Any suggestions?

Also where is a .bat file? I keep reading about it, but I can't see it anywhere. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kmaloof:
I dropped my phone about a month ago and cracked the screen, and it just stopped responding to the touch. Android is much more usable without a touch screen, because in windows mobile, i cant select the soft keys with the arrows, so i can type a text, but not send it...etc...my problem is i deleted all of the android files off my sd card because i was running the one with sense and i wanted more speed, but when i put the new files back, i cant get past the screen calibration step of the startup because i cant touch the target. It doesnt matter to me what the screen calibration is, i just need to get past it!

Please Help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lysander:
I uploaded mine: http://rapidshare.com/files/395243324/ts-calibration.html

Just put it into the android directory or root of your memory card as needed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kylelerner:
Solution

The newest build from June 1st, 2010 doesn't require calibation setup upon first boot (at least for me).

If this still doesn't work for you, pm me your email address, and I'll send you a copy of my ts-calibration file which you will then copy to the same directory as Haret.

Doing this provides linux with the calibration coordinates, and it shouldn't ask you to perform a calibration..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kmaloof:
Thank you so much. I got passed that screen, but now i am stuck on the touch android to begin! i think if i can get passed that screen id be good. any other tips?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] prasangbc:
data.img and ts-calibration

I've been there man. My screen developed newton rings and stopped working once. Thanks to the keyboard on our TP2s, I was able to navigate fairly easily in android. Anywho, what you need now is a data.img (in addition to the ts-calibration) file.

I'm at work right now, as soon as I get back home, and if I remember :p, I'll create a new data.img for you and upload it somewhere. Put the data.img in the same folder you put the ts-calibration and you should get further.

If someone can offer you a data.img faster, that would be great too! Hang tight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] prasangbc:
Here they are!

Here is the data.img file (in a zip archive, so extract it first) that I promised and my ts-calibration file. Put them both in the same folder that you find Haret.exe and you should be good. I have not set up google accounts, so it should be a clean data.img.

Let me know if you run into any problems. :D

Dear all, is there any way to backup my current ROM before rooting? Thanks!!!

[Desire General] rolfd:
The simple answer is No!
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You really need root access to be honest, and then you can backup using Nandroid backup (accesses via the phone's recovery mode option when you root the phone. It gives you the option to Backup-Restore an exact clone of your current ROM image), and popular third-party apps, like Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro, which are available for download via the Android Marketplace.

Tip: If you login to your Google account and the access the Android Marketplace after rooting, it keeps a record and should display the apps you previously downloaded and installed. It will give you the option to re-install them again.

[HD2 General] Gootah:
I have a T-Mobile HD2, but T-mobile doesnt workin at my workplace. AT&T works so I was wonderning if I could force a roam. I've tried to manually connect to the network, but network registration fails. Anybody know anything?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Roaming is for countries other than your home country... no operator that I know of lets you roam to their competitors' networks... (apart from operators that own no physical network and have agreements to use other carriers' networks, in which case you can benefit from all... but that's rare).
[HD2 General] Gootah:
But...

That is exactly the case with T-Mobile and AT&T. I got to school in Denmark, SC in the country. There I can roam on AT&T cuz theres no T-Mobile tower. When I got home its back to T-Mobile. The only thing I could say is that the roaming could be region or area specific. Could that be the case?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
I guess the best way to know is to call TMO and ask...
[HD2 General] californiarailroader:
I roam on AT&T just fine up here (Mendocino County in Northwestern California) in dead spots, and that's in-market where there are also T-Mobile sites. We're a former Edge Wireless market (AT&T Affiliate, taken over by AT&T in April of 2008), and all former Edge Wireless markets have this, we get to use AT&T and T-Mobile's network, I can force (instead of letting it automatically roam over) it to roam on AT&T if I want as well.

i have just purchased a hd2 i would like to know nore on this subject since i do not reside in a area that offers descent cell service... i know it is possible on a g1 (my last phone) but would there ve a way to do this on a wm 6.5 fustom rom?? or another ahdroid on for that matter i know nothing has been discissed in some time now on this thread but any help/redirectoon would br much appeeciated.... thanks. ps. sorry i should enable spell check.

/wiki/T-Mobile_MDA

/wiki/CDMA

(isnt letting me post links, but just put en (dot) wikipedia (dot) org before the above links)

Thanks for all this info BUT I know what the difference between CDMA and GSM is. My question is.... How come there are so many roms posted under the GSM thread and NOT the CDMA thread.
