Hi Sorry for not replying earlier . Got a bit busy with work. Here is the link to get rooted and S-off on your desire hd

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076

I have not tried bravo.img so in all sincerity i don't have any clue about it. But the link that I have posted above works like a charm.

Thanks for your explanation
[Android Themes] itsjoncharles:
So I have been trying to customize WidgetLocker on my Nexus S, and despite successfully rotting and enabling ADB I am still not making progress to having a custom version. I am therefore for asking for help, and will explain my situation below.

I tried use market apps - NinjaMorph and RootExplorer - to edit the .png files. I have done this via NinjaMorph, however even though the image has changed when I select the 'iPhone' option nothing changes. I am still getting the default setting. As a result I tried Root Explorer, with no avail, and the 'Alternative' method. Nothing. Therefore I tried editing the files on my Mac via ADB to push and pull the .apk, and edited the extension from .apk to .zip and back again, however there is still no change on my lockscreen.

I did a little more research following these dead ends and apparently the file has to be signed. Again I have tried doing this via Market apps - Signaptik - and 'droplets' on my Mac where I should be able to drag and drop. However these again have done nothing, which is frustrating as after three days of Google searches and almost establishing this mod there seems to be no actual solution (which doesn't help as I have no prior experience to theming). I'm almost going to just give up because there seems to be no simple-ish solution.

I would most appreciate any help and assistance that may be offered. I love my Nexus S, but I hate these complicated processes.

Regards and thanks,

Jon.

wow some of these widgets look amazing! Can someone tell me all of these different widgets I've never seen alot of those.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
No problem! Glad it worked out. I thought I saw you say in an earlier post that you weren't rooted but I guess I was looking at another post or misread.
[Android Themes] okcnyyfan:
Is there a new link to the mods? The one on the first page is not working.

[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Maybe you should change the adb method, so that it's adb push to /system/app instead. cause i think pushing it to /data/app causes problems. i pushed it to /system/app and it works fine, and uninstalling it is easier with adb anyway :o
[Android Themes] okcnyyfan:
Just tried again and the mods link isn't working. This is what I get: "The webpage at https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnx8sl6u918asr8/Visual/WidgetLocker/Mods.zip might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
The most simple solution is getting your hands on a Windows/Linux based computer and sign the .apk using APKManager. I understand that it can be frustrating trying to modify the .apk on your device - I know the feeling and there's a reason I do all my modifying in front of a computer screen. There's no real experience needed to modify WidgetLocker - The one and only way to modify the .apk properly IS to use APKManager.

You might not be able to get your hands on a Windows/Linux based computer. But I assume there exists some sort of VirtualBox-like program for Mac. You could set up a Linux or XP partition and use APKManager that way. I know that's a bunch of work for something as simple as this - but it does work. I get a lot of emails lately requesting different mods which I don't have signed. People seem to think I have all the mods signed, even though I've only got a few. I can send you the ones I do have by mail if you want. (My information is in the first post).

I can't really help out with NinjaMorph and Root Explorer as I haven't used any of those to modify WidgetLocker. I guess the Nexus One has the secu-flag (S-OFF) turned off - so you CAN use NinjaMorph. After using Root Explorer you should be able to sign the .apk using Signapktic - but I haven't tried it out myself yet.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Again: There are tutorials/guides on how to mod your WidgetLocker in the first post.

If you're not able to make it work using ADB you should read up on ADB - Because it's pretty much foolproof (Pulling and pushing the .apk).
[Android Themes] tcallahan:
ok.. so i took your advice and signed the apk and then pushed it to the phone... still when i reboot i loose widget locker and every widget on all my home screens will not load... I really like the look of some of these lock screens but man its really annoying having to redo every homescreen anytime the phone reboots... any ideas as to what the heck could be causing this....

I used the apk manager method and signed the apk but still having the same issue. Also tried the force close method in the orig post.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Ok, edit the APK to your liking and go through the signing process.

On your phone uninstall WidgetLocker and reboot (Just to see if your widgets are loaded).

Put the modified version of WidgetLocker on your SD card and install it using a File Manager.

Now reboot again

How'd that go?
[Android Themes] tcallahan:
haha did exactly that before reading your post and all is well!!!

Thanks a mil!!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Awesome!

No problem (:

Thanks for the credit :)

You have quite a nice collection here, I like the sense one a lot.

I will update my images soon enough so they don't have that black trim, I had just taken them off a screenshot, in like 30 seconds.

Sent from Fascinate.

PS. My hand is cramped from holding my phone for so long heh
[Android Themes] Raadius:
So I got this lockscreen installed on my phone, no root required. User "peniston" sent it to me, only one problem is I don't have the option for lock and unlock tone in Widget Locker. The one he sent me was 1.2.2 but the one I bought from the market was a higher version. How can I get my lock/unlock tone option back?
[Android Themes] Ampicillin:
Thanks But site is blocked here :-( i mean dropbox

Edit:- I 've managed using Proxy
[Android Themes] peniston:
That's weird.

So I got version 1.2.6.1.

Changed the iPhone slider pngs, zipped, signed, etc.

Installed it on my phone. It has the sound on unlock option now, but when I try to unlock it, it forcecloses.

If I uncheck the sound though, it works just fine.

D:?
[Android Themes] peniston:
Hang on, that wasn't the latest version..I'm trying 1.2.7

Edit: Agghhgfskhj It still forcecloses when I enable sound.

No matter which version I mod. >:[
[Android Themes] Raadius:
Yup, madd FCs, smh. I don't know why, anybody else figure this out?!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Did you guys figure out the FCs?
[Android Themes] Raadius:
Nope. I know Froyo has a built in unlock tone (no lock tone) but it sucks compare to WidgetLocker unlock / lock tone.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Yeah, I know. I'm gonna test it out when I get a chance.

It's odd if the sounds don't work because some of the PNGs were switched out..
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
It was early in the morning and my brain obviously didn't follow

[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Ok, thanks to whoever made that minimal mod. i just changed a few icons to make it look miui ish. also made some of the pngs transparent. if anyone teaches me how to make the .9 pngs transparent that would be awesome. i read the guides but im scaaaared lol.

I just changed the unlock/quit, phone and sms icons to make it like the miui lockscreen. to get it, just make a custom dialer with those options.

all you have to do is replace the drawable_hdpi and drawable_mdpi folders with the one in the zip.

And of course it will look better on a hvga or wvga screen anyway.
[Android Themes] shifty.d:
Nice setup! Mind sharing the icons? And which battery widget is that?
[Android Themes] indisingh:
i am a noob at this so i would be grateful if somebody could help. I completed all the steps for the ninjamorph method and finished the project but not i don't know what to do, if i lock the phone it just shows the widgetlocker in lock mode, with none of the images i've put in the mod. My phone is mdpi, thatt might help. Please help........ Thanks in advance :)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Are you choosing the right slider?
[Android Themes] sirwillz:
I swear the Root Explorer method doesn't even work. I did exactly as the instructions say, but after I restarted my phone, WidgetLocker wasn't in my apps. It's disappeared. And when I tried installing the .apk from Root Explorer, it wouldn't install. :(
[Android Themes] indisingh:
Ye I chose the iphone slider in the setting in tool mode
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Move it to /system/app, fix permissions, and reboot and you're good to go.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. If you guys are having trouble modding these with Ninjamorph, ADB, etc. then you can do it on the computer. The process is a little longer but it's quick and easy in my opinion. Just drop the images in the drawable-hdpi folder to replace the current ones, put it back on the SD card, move to /system/app, fix permissions, and reboot.

If you need me to go into more detail I will.
[Android Themes] indisingh:
Thanks that helps alot but I was just wondering how to put the app back into system/app as when I plug my wildfire into the computer all I can see are the files on the sd card. Thanks for your help :)
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Use the android sdk.

Adb push to system/app.

Root explorer method won't work on wildfire.
[Android Themes] ishiro13:
how do i make custom sliders

im using widget locker but that part is confusing
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
It doesn't work on the wildfire? Hmm, I had no idea haha. Thanks!
[Android Themes] Rimher:
I used the APKManager thing, and it did work. But i get some Force Closes when i enable sound on the lockscreen.

I tried the method described in the first page but it does not seem to work. What can I do?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Use the phones built in lock/unlock sound from settings
[Android Themes] trebz:
I posted a method that worked for me in this thread when using APKManager to get sounds working. Not sure if you've tried it, but first thing to do after loading up APKManager is to set apk compression level to 0 (option 19). Then do the mod.
[Android Themes] jusion:
Sorry if this is dumb, but what do I have to do after I have the modded .apk on my phone?

I tried changing Look & Feel > Slider to the iPhone slider, but it still appears like a normal iPhone slider even though the two .PNGs in the apk have been replaced (I repulled the .apk off my phone to be sure).

EDIT: Nevermind. Screwed up somewhere and have -2.apk installed.
[Android Themes] squire23:

[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:

[Android Themes] chaoticallysweet:
Don't know if this video was posted, but I have been using it all day long to modify my widget locker.

using ultra link method: use root explorer copy the com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk to the sd card, move the file to your desktop and copy the moded files to the drawable hdpi. Push via adb in recovery mode.

adb shell mount /system

adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app

here is the youtube link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hY6jwTvNQM
[Android Themes] :
Here's mine:
[Android Themes] squire23:
This is the method I'm trying to use. Just can't get the fricking thing to work. Don't see why it can't be made to be more easily customizable especially since I paid good money for it. (I know people are going start hating on me for saying that but I did pay good money for it so I'm entitled to my opinion)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Do you have 7-zip? Personally, I use SuperTaskManager and backup the apk. Mount my SD, drag it to the desktop. Open with 7 zip, drag out the res folder, drop the pics in the drawable-hdpi folder to replace the others. Make sure they're replaced. Then open the apk again and drag the res folder from your desktop to the res folder icon in the apk to replace it. It will ask if you want to place it there and click yes. Then, open the apk, drag out the res folder again just to make sure it took it.
[Android Themes] chaoticallysweet:
Where is it going wrong?

go root explorer>data>app>find com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk>copy>hit back to main root page>sdcard>hit move here

back out of root explorer> attached phone to pc>open> move com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk to desktop>open with winzip or another zip program> open drawable hdpi> move mod files into drawable hdpi>hit ok. close

move com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk to android-sdk-windows(or however you named it)/tools

power phone to recovery

open cmd

type cd c:/yoursdk name/tools

type adb shell mount /system

type adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app

done. reboot phone go to widget locker ... don't know but I always rename my mod files slider_iphone. etc
[Android Themes] squire23:
I think it may be as simple as I can't get ADB installed/working correctly. I've dl'd the Android SDK, extracted it & tried to open ADB using cmd - nothing. I then followed this guide but still can't get it to work. I have HTC Sync Drivers installed, USB Debugging enabled etc but just can't it to work. It's probably something ridiculously easy I'm missing
[Android Themes] chaoticallysweet:
okay.. this works like a champ.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wi1U...eature=related
[Android Themes] squire23:
Okay, I see my problem is that I do not have the adb.exe file in my tools foder. I dl'd the full SDK so not sure why but I'll re'dl & try again. Thanks for the help

edit: it's in the platform-tools folder! B@stards!!
[Android Themes] apavolka:
Found out for me root explorer wouldn't paste the image into the apk so I used root explorer to copy the apk and set permissions. I then used astro to copy the images into the apk images but for each image I had to attempt to copy, cancel it, and then paste again. The attempt to copy erases the original image (deleting did not work). A little more complicated but figured it out in about ten minutes :)
[Android Themes] hachoo:
Still can't figure it out. Whenever I press the red end call button on my phone, it passes the lock screen. I have everything in the 'buttons' setting off... yet I can't fix it! Any suggestions?

[Android Themes] lesa0208:
You need the Android SDK and HTC Sync Drivers / Your devices drivers

1) After you've downloaded the SDK unzip it to C:\ and rename the folder Android

2) Enter the folder and run SDKSetup.exe, download everything it prompts about

If you can't download; Go to Settings and tick "Force https://..."

3) Start cmd (Command Prompt) and type "cd C:\Android\tools"

4) Enable USB-debugging and connect your phone to your computer

5) Type "adb pull /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk"

Go into your C:\Android\tools directory and find the .apk

Open the .apk using WinRAR or 7zip and navigate into res\drawable-hdpi

Copy the two images you've chosen, overwriting the PNGs in \drawable-hdpi

Now exit

6) Type "adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk"

i try this metod, in cmd i got that on screenshoot, but widgetlocker did not show up after reboot, can someone tell me what is the problem, where I was wrong
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Push to system/app instead mate :)

Make sure you are in recovery and mount system
[Android Themes] lesa0208:
hahahaha tnx :D

i try that adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk/system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk

and i am in recovery, but same widget locker did not show up after reboot :/
[Android Themes] ianmcquinn:
Check out the warning in the first post. If you don't sign the APK, it may disappear on reboot. You could try using the APKManager method (this is how I got it working anyway).

Alternatively, people earlier on this thread have reported that you can push to /system/app like you did, fix permissions, and then reboot. I've haven't tried that method myself, but it sounds like it worked for some people.
[Android Themes] sirwillz:
Kevin has released a beta that includes theme support. Anyone tried it? I managed to get some of the sliders from here to work on there by renaming the images and using some transparent ones, but the alignment is wrong because of the size of the images. So I think they'd need to be resized when it becomes public.
[Android Themes] lesa0208:
This is my mode :D
[Android Themes] Alisteroz:
Can someone tell me what sizes should be the modded *.png files for HTC HERO since these were made for bigger screens. Hero screen resolution is (320 × 480)???

[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Sizes are the same for all phones if you haven't been looking at the mods... 142x120 for slider and 480x143 for background.
[Android Themes] musakoko:
i used rootexplorer with no succes.. it says that the apk is read only so i cannot copy it to my SD card

i also tried nnjamorhp and it says it replaces it them.. but it does not.. it says the same..

[Android Themes] trebz:
Make sure the folder is Mounted R/W in root explorer. The option to mount it in root explorer should be at the top or top right.
[Android Themes] twopint32oz:
Hmm. I have been using the adb method to pull out the apk and rewriting the png files through winrar. When I push the apk back, the new mods show up.

But here is the problem. When I reboot the phone, the widgetlocker app disappears and I have to remove through adb shell. I am running CM 6.1 on Incredible. Any ideas why this is happening and how to I prevent widgetlocker from disappearing?
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
are you pushing it to system/app? that's where i push mine and it works all the time when i want to change mods.
[Android Themes] kiteboarderni:
Hey guys, ive got a rooted nexus s and i have just edited the apk file after a pull.

When i try to push it back on with ADB i get a permission denied error everytime.

Do i just have to be connected via usb to do this or do i need to do anything different from the original tut?
[Android Themes] twopint32oz:
No. As the instruction said, I pulled the apk from /data/app/ and pushed to /data/app. I'll try pushing to /system/app and see how it goes.

EDIT: One question. Do you turn off widget locker before you do the pulling and pushing? I've been doing it while it is running. Maybe thats why?
[Android Themes] ianmcquinn:
If you check just a few posts earlier, someone else had the exact same question. As was stated in the first post, the disappearing on reboot may occur unless you sign the APK. kevin2516 suggested a method that some people have had success with (push to /system/app while in recovery). Since you are in recovery, Widget Locker would not be running. Some users have also stated you should fix permissions after performing the push. Not sure if this is needed or not since I used the APKManager method suggested by the original instructions. I know that way works.
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
you should stay booted in recovery, mount system partition, then push to /system/app.
[Android Themes] twopint32oz:
Ah thank you. Pushing to /system/app worked.
[Android Themes] squire23:
Epic fail all round. I give up.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Don't give up. Download APKManager and sign the app so that it will install without having to move into /system/app.

Finally got it to work. im a real no0b. i used APK MANAGER and ROOT EXPLORER.. first i signed the file with apk manager ( my first tried was signed the file and install but the file wont install sooo ) i used root explrer to rename the file that i just signed to the same ones as system/app ( com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1 ) and overwrote then its works :)
[Android Themes] randy_khoo:
I'm working from a mac, so i don't have access to apkmanager.

(not that i know how to get that running).

I'm using root explorer and astro manager.

After dropping the right png into the right areas, I'm still getting my widgets messed up after that...

Do i need to sign it after that?

Does anyone know how to sign this with zipsigner or signapktic?

Or some other methods please?

it amazes me how many people have the same issues and fail to search on here before asking. I change mine out almost every week with no problem, no adb and without installing to /system/app.

If there is any interest in a how-to video let me know.

I just wonder if I make it and post it here, how many people would still ask about things covered in the video without watching!

[Android Themes] pinkcupcakes:
hmph. Nothing is working for me...

I have root explorer.

I copy the widgetlocker apk to my sd card, open the files on my pc & drop the .pngs in the appropriate place.

When I open root explorer the app is renamed .apk.zip, so I rename it to .apk, change the permissions and move it to data/apps.

When I try to install it it says "there is a problem parsing the package"

I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Can someone please help me? :(

EDIT: FINALLY GOT IT!

My computer was automatically converting the apk to a zip file for some reason?

editing the file name back to the .apk must have been the problem!

Words cannot describe how happy I am :D
