THANK YOU. This did the trick. I've been looking for a solution that allow me to keep the lock/unlock sounds.
[Android Themes] steelefriese:
Can anyone help.

I did the NinjaMorph Method and finished and my lock screen looks the same.

How do i apply the themed lock screen?
[Android Themes] chiefy009:
Tried for ever with ninja morph use Apk manager is easiest

sent from my commodore 64
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
The first post is updated to include some of the issues that have been reported.

The solution:

Use APKManager.
[Android Themes] trebz:
Awesome glad it worked out for you :D. I found that solution worked when I was modding swype with apkmanager and getting force closing issues.

dunno who stole whos design but the "just simple" one looks like ultralinx's locker

Eh, they're actually quite different from each other, who really cares about ultralinx anyway lmao
[Android Themes] jjlyons:
no lock

So I was getting tired of having CM's stock unlock screen popping up before widgetlocker. I decided to try and app called No Lock to disable the the lockscreen, and now when I wake my phone there's no more lag to wideget locker. I highly recommend using No Lock with these mods. Hope this is helpful to some :)
[Android Themes] vokkE:
lemongreentea posted his lockscreen here 14th December, and UltraLinx posted his own on 17th December, and it's the same lockscreen. 20th December it was modified.

Anyhow, couldn't care less about UltraLinx, since he started to beg money and selling his stuff. But enough with the offtopic.
[Android Themes] mosrobit:
Ninjamorph doesn't work for me either; none of the image files are replaced when I copy and place them and the file names are the same.

Hello!

Can anyone tell me where I can find the skin of the Weather widget in "Sweet Additions" Very beautiful!

And the Widget is "Weather & Toggle Widget" or "Beautiful Widget" ?

Thanks!

[Android Themes] davewuvswaffles:
Well I tried and failed to mod it.

I will admit that I'm using a random sdk I found on the net, but I was really hoping to see if I liked everything before I made a purchase. (I only got my Captivate two days ago and have been through 3-4 setups up to this point. I tried and quickly bought LauncherPro Plus after I played with it for about 30 minutes).

Oh well, I guess I'll see how the next version turns out. If there's easy implementation for customized locks, I may just bite without necessarily being 100% sure it's what I want. On the other hand, what else is there?

Now that I think about it, I'm just going to buy it now and (hopefully) get it the way I've been trying to do so. Doing this on a mac kinda blows tho =[
[Android Themes] lilshortwun:
hmm this works great but I have run into a dilemma. I am running cr mod which is 2.1 but I downloaded an addon that supports live wallpaper. whenever i try to set a live wallpaper, it sets the wallpaper as the widgetlocker lock screen instead of home. solution?

edit: i think i found the problem. htc sense ui does not support live wallpaper, am i correct? it shows up in adw
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I don't understand exactly what you mean... Try explaining it one more time
[Android Themes] lilshortwun:
I'm basically saying that I got custom widgetlocker working. In addition, I am trying to get live wallpapers working in the htc sense ui but when i choose my live wallpaper, it doesn't show up in the 5 home pages. Instead, it shows up on the widgetlock lock screen and it also shows up when I switch to ADW launcher.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I guess that's a 2.1 problem.
[Android Themes] bsc7080xsc:
Here is my way of keeping it simple. I decided on the white background because the BW skin has the temps in white. Gives a nice minimalistic appearance overall :

Lol, why are you posting this here?
[Android Themes] supersomething:
i bought me widgetlocker just now. and the widgetlocker icon/notification is stuck at the status bar. is it going to stuck there forever until i decide not to use widgetlocker? or is there anyway for me to hide it?

thank you for making the sliders for FREEEEEE!!!

[Android Themes] Hydromea:
So, I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.5.8, and I've tried using some 7zip Mac ports, but have had no success in replacing any images. The NinjaMorph method didn't seem to do anything, and Root Explorer won't seem to let me edit and apks I have saved on my SD Card. I have full root BTW, so does anyone know of any Mac programs that will let me do the same thing as 7zip or Winrar, cause once I've got that, I can just push with ADB? Any help would be appreciated :)
[Android Themes] tux-lover:

[Android Themes] unde:
I did all the steps, but when my phone wake up after the reboot (step 5), the app is not installed on my phone.

I really dont understand why i have to unistall the app after i put it on system/app.

Anyway, where is my mistake? I did all the step as they show.

Thanks

PS: in system/app the application is still here, but no in data/app

lockscreen wallpaper

Can anyone point me to a good thread for wallpaper that fits the htc evo lockscreen. Every wallpaper I have found is to big and doesn't look good. I think the size needs to be 400 x 800. Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] ianmcquinn:
Per the warning in the first thread, the app may disappear on reboot if you don't sign the apk after making any changes. You'll want to follow the instructions for using APK Manager (or there's a new app that allows onboard signing called Signapktic, but I've never used that before).
[Android Themes] CCallahan:
I followed the instructions in the original APKManager post....extracted, changed images, created apk, and signed the apk. Used Root Explorer to write the new apk over existing.

WL works as expected but I always lose it on reboot. Have tried the procedure a couple times and still lose on reboot. Anyone know if I am missing a step?
[Android Themes] ianmcquinn:
Not sure if it makes a difference, but I actually installed the signed apk instead of simply overwriting the old one. Never had any problems doing it this way.
[Android Themes] CCallahan:
I've went in and re-signed the file with Signapktic. Not sure if this will work or not.
[Android Themes] supersomething:
now that i have signed the .apk, do i push the file 'signed.com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk' straight away? or do i have to rename it first?
[Android Themes] dgwood12:
I decided I didnt like the default green lock icon and bar when unlocked so I modified it to my liking. Changed it to a blue icon and a blue highlight upon unlock. Also, made the camera icon white.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Just put it on your SD card and install it with a file manager.
[Android Themes] Libanai:
Hi!

Anyone can tell me what's the name of the weahter widget on the second screen ont the first page, im looking for it ... and im looking for the widget date (monday tuesday ...) on the first screen!

I have searched few hours yesterday on the market, I didn't found anything ;(

Thank you and exuse my poor english, im french!
[Android Themes] CCallahan:
Thanks. This worked for me whereas just overwriting the file did not after reboot.
[Android Themes] vokkE:
Not really related to mods, but how on earth does my phone wake up when I press any hardware button? :( I haven't tapped any option for that. I wan't it to only unlock using trackpad, like it does without widgetlocker.

And answering to myself right away: Seems the problem is with NoLock, when using nolock it unlocks on every hardware button. Sucks. :/ Guess I'm not using it then.
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
yes that happens when you disable your lockscreens.

i dont use nolock but rather have my lockscreens completely disabled through a framework edit (thanks to JsChiSurf) and i get the same situation. still worth it i think.
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
i still haven't come up with my own original design for widgetlocker, but i keep messing with the ones posted here.

I'm using the Just Simple mod now, but here's my own version. i thought this works better than the original way (for me anyways).
[Android Themes] supersomething:
i have widgetlocker as my main phone locker. sometimes when i want to unlock the phone, the stock screen locker come out and then fades to widget locker screen. is there any fix to this? it only happens sometimes. i don't know what triggers it.

thanks.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Try the five-second rule in settings. (Menu > Advanced > 5 Second Rule) If not you can download NoLock from the Market.
[Android Themes] supersomething:
thank you sir. i will try the suggestions. and awesome work on the lock screens :)
[Android Themes] Hydromea:
Did this with the APK Manager method using a Windows 7 64bit Virtual Machine run with VirtualBox on a Mac host, and it worked great. Has anyone had luck using the NinjaMorph or Root Explorer method?
[Android Themes] cbwhat:
i tried the ninja morph steps but no luck.

it doesnt replace the images for me. it ask me and i say yes but no luck when i go back the thumbnail is still the iphonearrow.

i also tried the apkmanger way but i get through all the steps intill i get an error on signing the apk
[Android Themes] cali4nia831:
do we have to reboot after we did the root explorer way ? Any 1 had luck doing it the root explorer way ?
[Android Themes] cali4nia831:

[Android Themes] Rimher:
I have a little problem with FC. It appears that the sounds on my WL don't wanna work: everytime they are enabled, WL FC when i try to unlock.

I tried the method described in the first post, but it does not seem to work when i push the apk back into the phone, since the slider remains the same.

Does anyone have any clue on how to solve this? I kinda liked the sounds of the lockscreen.

Thanks in advance
[Android Themes] AngelsPunishment:
I get it working but once I restart, widget locker uninstalls itself from my phone.
[Android Themes] pinkcupcakes:

Hey everyone, I love this thread and widget locker. I can get this to work and it will be great for a little while, but then out of no where my phone will reset and when it boots back up my LPP is all screwy and widget locker is no where to be found. I have done tests and it only happens when it is modded. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] Rimher:
You should try using another method instead of root explorer, like the apk manager one. Otherwise it'll disappear every time you reboot your phone.
[Android Themes] Rimher:
You should try looking on appbrain.com or downloading their app for the wallpapers. Some of those are really good looking.

Otherwise try and look in the nexus one section. There's a topic full of wallpapers(in fact you can download a zip file containing them all)
[Android Themes] fenerbuuh:
iam getting allways this error when i try to sign a apk with apk manager 4.9

Damn no guide working for me.

root explorer, apk manager and the one from webstar is not working :((

[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Here is what I did to get the mods work easily using just adb. Adb pull the app from data/app and uninstall it. Open the apk with winrar or winzip. Place the new pngs and press ok so it replaces the olds one. Place the apk into your tools folder. Adb push it to system/app. Reboot.

If you want to uninstall it, simply adb shell and rm -r it from system/app

Whenever I want to use a new mod I just edit the apk and push it to system/app

No signing needed lol
[Android Themes] fenerbuuh:
Thx for answer, i will try it now with shell.
[Android Themes] addictionn:
omg these look awesome, now to follow guide to get them on my phone -noob-

Hi.. Can you tell me what the xml files do?? Does changing them affect the behaviour of the app?? And whenever i try to open these files to view their contents all I can see our symbols and boxes .. why is that??? I have worked with xml files before and I know how to edit them but I dont understand why I am seeing symbols??? Can someone please clarify?? thanks
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
The XML file controls the application. It's the guts of the app. You have to decompile it before you can read the contents. Use APKManager.

Unrelated: I see in your signature that you have a Desire HD rooted with S-OFF.. How? Does the Bravo.img's work for the HD?
[Android Themes] vivmar:
i have just finished the procedure but what i see is the normal application without any customization...

Used ADB mothod,copied all files inside my chosed mod into widgetlocker apk and sended to phone...
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You must not have overwritten the images correctly. Try doing it again. If the images don't show you probably have two WL.apks in /data/app you can check easily by pulling your entire /data folder using ADB

adb pull /data/app/ app

This will create a folder inside your /tools folder called app.

If you have more than one, delete them both, re-download WidgetLocker from the Market, pull and edit the .apk - Then push back.
[Android Themes] vivmar:
Done exactly as u said..same results

Deleted all from /data/app ,unistalled and reinstalled,sended apk modiifed...

i have to chose something in settings? looks ad feel area...
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You're switching out the actual images. Overwriting the old ones. They don't exist in the .apk anymore - So at some point you did something wrong. Are you sure you're overwriting the old images with the new ones?

There are no settings you need to change other than what slider to use.
[Android Themes] vivmar:
I have copied the folders drawable-mdpi,drawable-land-hdpi,drawable-hdpi from Res inside the apk, on my desktop.I have erased the 3 folders inside the apk,and i have copied the mod inside the 3 folders on my desktop by overwritting all.

Then i have moved tre 3 folders from desktop ,into the apk,then copied in sdk area and sended to phone...

Should be ok?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Should be...

Sign the .apk with APKManager and you won't have these issues.
[Android Themes] vivmar:
Lol m8,found problem.

Inside your guide the adb command have 2 errors:

help

hello, first post. trying to do this with my unrooted incredible and i keep getting stuck at this point.

whenever i type step #5 in, it always tells me "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

i have tried many times with android sdk and as far as i can tell i have done everything right to attempt to pull the apk file... where did i go wrong? is it something extremely obvious i have missed?

one thing however, the first post says "Place APKManager in the \tools folder in your SDK directory"... does this mean all the files in the apk_manager_4.9.zip should be in the tools folder or in its own folder in tools? nothing in that zip file was actually called "APKManager" so i just want to make sure i'm doing this right.

sorry if any of this is unclear, i know my way around computers but with not this kind of thing.

thanks for any help on this.......
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
If you want ADB access through APKMAnager you can put it in your SDK directory. If not you can place it anywhere on your computer. Anywhere.

- You've not changed directory most likely. (cd c:\SDK DIRECTORY).

i renamed it to Android just like the post said, and did changed the directory, so when i type in the adb pull i am in the android/tools directory, and i still get the adb is not recognized message... i feel like no matter what i do (did it with 2 separate sdk installations and downloads) i just can't pull the adk file. maybe i'll uninstall android sdk and start over?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
That is strange. Try uninstalling and re-installing the SDK. Maybe that helps.
[Android Themes] Ron987:
thanks a lot! btw awesome thread!
[Android Themes] tpants23:
ok, uninstalled, reinstalled, and same thing. i did some googling on the error messages and a few things came up about adb.exe, i did a search for that and adb and nothing really shows up on my computer. would it be a problem with android sdk? i swear i did exactly what the steps said! (the previous experiment i had done the unzipping and installing version of android sdk, and neither worked.)

sigh, maybe i'll just have to wait until i can do this all through widget locker. i just hate the lock screens the app came with and tired of the sense lock, so i'm opting for the no lock lock. (i have lockbot 2.0 too, but... eh.) maybe i'm just too picky haha.

anyway, thanks for your help!

[Android Themes] Evil Incarnate:
This should probably be added to the first post...

You can actually run adb from any folder in Command Prompt IF YOU FIRST add adb to your windows PATH variable.

Instructions for adding adb to your Windows 7 PATH variable:

1.) Find and copy the full path to adb (i.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" or "C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools")

NOTE: Ensure you do NOT have quotes, and that you only copy the path to the folder containing adb.

2.) Right-click on the "Computer" entry in your Start Menu

3.) Select "Properties"

4.) Click the "Advanced system settings" link in the sidebar

5.) Go to the "Advanced" tab

6.) Click the "Environmental Variables" button near the bottom of the window

7.) In the bottom section titles "System variables", scroll down until you find an entry called "PATH" (or "Path")

8.) Double-click the "PATH" (or "Path") entry

9.) Press the "END" button on your keyboard to go to the end of the line

10.) Add a semi-colon (";") to the end of the line

11.) Paste the path you copied in Step 1 after the semi-colon; no space is required after the semi-colon

12.) Click OK, OK, OK (for the 3 windows that have been opened in this process)

13.) Start the Command Prompt (you must actually start a new instance of cmd.exe to reload your PATH)

14.) OPTIONAL change to the directory you wish to place the APK in on your PC

15.) Use adb as instructed in this post

The steps are very similar for Vista and even XP. Once you have added adb to your PATH, you can run adb from any folder in Command Prompt.

Here is a guide for XP: How to Add a Path in Windows XP

Note that you should also add the "tools" directory under the Android SDK folder, but I believe it is not required for using adb.
