Hope anyone can help me.

I'm just started modding some widdgetlocker themes, no to hard and a lot of fun doing it.

But i just stumbled upon a problem, i want to make a unlock bar that unlocks by swiping down, like the HTC sense bar. But with every bar i make i get this stupid clock above my bar and i just want a plain and simple one, just like the one in the attachments.

anyone familiar with this problem and knows how i can solve this?
[Android Themes] Imakefood:
So how exactly do we download the themes? sorry Im a little new.
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
Sense unlock styles always have the clock included..can't do anything about that
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Kevin is going to add the option of disabling it soon.
[Android Themes] SapphireNL:
That would be great :)

And fot the mean time i'll just have to learn and live with that clock ;)

I have a question about the picture below. First I understand that the battery in the last picture (3rd one to the right) most likey is the app 'Battery Status Donate'. With that app you can download skins or use the skins provided with the app. The issue I have is I can't seem to find that particular skin that is being used in the picture. I've looked for weeks and in several threads. They all have the same skins the app comes with. I was wondering if anyone knew or could possibly make it so I could use it with a theme? I would greatly appreciate it. What I am asking for is the skin for that battery on the lock screen not the slide to unlock or anything else. That I already know how to do.

[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
That's Lock 2.0. It's an iPhone skin for the app.

I'm pretty sure.
[Android Themes] caliga4221:
I have asked before but didnt get any response so figured I would try again. I am looking for a way to do something that I thought was possible but cant seem to find the setting. On the lock screen i have a few apps and a dialer slider. If I open these apps or slide the dialer it should not ask for a password (stock screen is set to ask for passcode) but if I try to actually unlock it should still require the password.

just to clarify since I think I may not have been to clear.

I had to put a password on my phone. my nephew was found using it to look up porn at night. hes currently 13 and my sister would kill me if I let him. I used widget locker for a while and it has the basics like my dialer, mms, gmail, and yahoo mail clients accessible from locked screen. I would like to be able to still open those easily like while driving and not really able to easily enter the rather long lock code I created. but in order to unlock it and gain access to the web or other apps I would still like it to require the passcode.
[Android Themes] m4a1rifle:
Anyone manage to make the unlocking animation working in WL2.0?

prior to 2.0 (eg. 1.2.9) when unlocking the WidgetLocker, it has a smooth fade-out transition to home, but now in 2.0 it just flicker back to home, not smooth at all.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I had a good laugh! Thanks for that.

I remember there being some discussion about this earlier but can't quite remember what the outcome was. Run it by the developer if you can't get a straight answer here.

[Android Themes] jamiegoldsworthy:

Theme Chooser Problem

Hi,

i know that the problem of disappearing widgets, when using theme chooser on cyanogenmod 7, isn't a bug in widgetlocker, but in theme chooser.

Does somebody here know a workaround to make widgets work? please don't tell me to switch to default/system theme, because thats no option for me.

I'd like to keep my theme.

Any suggestions?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I'd like to know if there is one also. I have the issue on my ROM as well. I'm not using CM7 though
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
wltheme.zip only installs manally

Please could someone assist ..

I create my zip file and name it correctly xxx.wltheme.zip but when installing it wont show up in the custom sider list.

I need to copy the zip file manually to the WL themes folder under data, then extract zip from there, and only then is the folder created in order for the theme to show up in the custom list slider.

Appreciate advice where I am going wrong!!!
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
As I told you in the Home Screen thread, this is what beardedspoon said to do, and it worked:

I did that with the lovely flower slider you made me, and it worked. Name the folder the same name as the theme, makes it easier.
[Android Themes] gingerdan:
I think someone should make a theme for the new HTC sense 3.0. The lock screen for it looks really good :)
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Have an image I can use as reference? Im bored at work, so Ill give it a shot.
[Android Themes] shokwaav:
haha the lock screen has so much more functionality than just widgets + unlocking but i guess you could try

HTC Sensation (Sense 3.0) on Engadget.com
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Tickle my fancy: What more functionality are you talking about?
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Well, here my half assed attempt without having a decent picture to go off of. This is just teh slider. Not sure if there is a setting to make it sit on the bottom of the screen so there isnt a gap.
[Android Themes] MrBeOTP2:
nice .how could i get ur lockscreen ?
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Here ya go. Its just the slider. If you were wondering, the media player is MixZing. Just unzip this and put the folder in the themes folder on your sd card.
[Android Themes] MrBeOTP2:
tks mate :]

Where could u get this slide? have any chance for psd file ?
[Android Themes] niteowl360:
As per the XDA thread, thanks reinbeau, beardedspoon and zHk3R
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Bah, I deleted it and olny saved the png. I remade it, so it might be a little off, but its pretty close.
[Android Themes] gingerdan:
If you go on YouTube and search for HTC sense 3.0 and find the one by engadget that should explain the functionality it should be about the 2nd one down. I would post the link but im not allowed until I've posted 8 times :)
[Android Themes] eliasadrian:
I did a thread search and then glanced through a few pages, the whole 100+ is extremely daunting, but my question is on the MT4G pushing the trackpad while the phone is asleep will wake the phone and then pushing it again will put it back to sleep (so basically exactly like the power button). Is there any mod or option for this that I've missed? Thanks in advance!!
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
how do i resize sliders? when i change the image size, and load it in WL, the slider doesn't show. help please
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Are you making one or using an existing theme?
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
i'm editing an existing theme. most of the themes out there aren't made for smaller screens like mine (320x480)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Oh, okay. And the slider isn't showing up but the background is?
[Android Themes] shokwaav:
how dyou do that?
[Android Themes] shokwaav:
like widgetlocker, sense 3.0 lock screen has the ability to place widgets on the lockscreen. and with more functionality... with the gallery widget, you can drag the pictures its showing to the 'unlock' circle and the device will unlock to that picture... supposedly there are more functions but thats the one i remember

Dock request!

Hi guys,

First of all, I know it's a post off topic but you guys know how to use Photoshop and I was wondering if somebody could help me by making a dock (the default dock from HTC Sensation)

Here is how it looks in case you don't know:

Now if it is possible and somebody want's to make one, it will be perfect that instead of the "themes" button to be a button for messages, or people,or browser and with the same transparency or a little more transparent.

Unfortunately I don't know to use Photoshop so that's why I tried here, in hope that somebody want's that dock and it will make it.

Here are more photos with the Phone & dock:

http://www.engadget.com/photos/htc-sensation-hands-on/#4047677

I hope that nobody get's mad of my post!

Thanks a lot

Regards
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
well the background isn't showing, that's the only one i'm trying to resize. am i supposed to save it a certain way? i'm saving it as png

[Android Themes] silver04v:
I'd like to make some lock themes, kind of confused with the how to. Am I just using Photoshop to make the sliders? How do they become active and have animation, so to speak when you swipe them when they are set in WL? How do you make them the correct file type also? If anyone can help me out hwre I'd appreciate it greatly. I'm very interested in making some themes.'
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
If you look in the theme thread, it shows you how to make them.

You can also look at themes that have already been made to help you.

Use PS or Gimp.
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
Hey DJ, can you offer any advice? i replied to your post few posts above
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Sorry, I didn't see that you replied.

If the background isn't showing up, it's because there isn't a black pixel. Just make sure the background has it. If not, just zoom in like 200x and put a 1x1 black pixel in the center at the top.
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
they do have a black pixel. they are working themes made by other other people from the WL theme thread, i'm just trying to resize them
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I'm just making sure. Just change the width. Are you using Photoshop? Just open the background, hit ctrl+i, and change the width to the width of your phone resolution.
[Android Themes] ching1206:
large clock?!

how can i set the clock n date size??!!!

i really like this big
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
yea sounds pretty easy, but it's not working lol. i'm using PS and just resizing it, doesn't work. can you try it?
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
when saving the png, does it need to be interlaced?
[Android Themes] dgwood12:
Hey all. I tried searching but search seems to be down for me atm. I have a friend with a rooted Samsung fascinated running super clean with widget locker installed. For some reason the option to have the volume rocker go to both vibrate and silent is not working even though the option is enabled. Anyone know why this could be? Thank you!

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Android Themes] silver04v:
Need someone who knows themes to check my effort into this and help me out please.

I need help with theming if anyone can give me some insight. I tried playing with PS to make a theme.

****I AM NOT SURE IF THIS EVEN WORKS. DONT TRY ON YOUR PHONE!!!****

Id like someone who has done this before to look at the zip I made and see if its all right. Sorry to have this here, idk how else to upload the file to show anyone.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yes, which one is it? It will be tomorrow night though. That's when I'll be home. Haven't been home in a while and it's killing me. So much to do haha
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Will someone make some nice minimal sense sliders?

All the ones that have been made are made to accommodate the clock, I'd like some to be made without working around the clock. I don't use it. Thank you:)
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
Per my wife's request, added a ringer control slider to the Simon's Cat Theme on page 49 of the Widgetlocker Themes thread. Sorry for the lack of a preview, ran out of time.
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
just resize any theme and see if it shows. i've tried numerous themes and they all don't show :mad:
[Android Themes] tilt4life2:
Hopefully, someone can answer this because my searches on xda and google haven't turned an exact answer to my question:

If I use WidgetLocker, is it possible to get my missed calls, new sms, new email (outlook), and new gmail to show on the WidgetLocker screen? Thanks.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Depends on what you're looking for exactly but just about any widget.

You can put whatever you want on there. Not LP widgets though.
[Android Themes] SapphireNL:
How did you turn the clock of ?

I'm using a modded version of the Simplism Sense lockscreen i found here on the XDA theme tread. Wich is just a bar with a line of text, but i can't get that annoying clock away.

I tried searching an eventually i asked it a few pages back and they said it could not be done at this time in WL 2.0.2.

So how did you do it ??
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
Beta vers of WL
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yep! You guys are gonna like the update.
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Any time soon??? :D
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I have no idea haha. Doesn't seem like it will be long though. Beta updates are rolling.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Hello

Hi guys,

Can someone make a lockscreen theme like in this picture?

Is the lockscreen from MIUI, I extracted the PNG from the rom and here is the PNG:

Now it is possible to set arrows in the left and in the right like in this picture:

I hope that someone will involve, I really like it and I think I'm not the only one.

Thanks
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Do you need the clock and icons, or do you just want the bar and arrows? How transparent do you want the bar? I can easily do the bar and arrows for you.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Just the bar and the arrows! The transparency it will be perfect if it will be like in the screenshot attached above, and also if it is possible to get rid of those left and right separators(lines in the bar)

Maybe the PNG that I attached it will give you more info regarding the transparency!

Thanks a lot
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Merry xmas!! Just open the zip, pull out the folder and put in the themes folder on your sd card. I just add more transparency if you need it.
[Android Themes] tilt4life2:
I would want the following items on the lock screen: missed calls, unread sms, e-mail, and gmail. On the home screen, I can just place the icon on the home screen and I the number of unread sms, e-mail, and gmail with the icon. Would the same happen if I place the icons on WidgetLocker?

So then the only thing I would want is missed calls count? Is there a way to get that on the lock screen?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
All you need is a widget that shows missed calls. Im sure there are a few on the market. Any widget that goes on the home screen can go in the lock screen with WL.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Oh man, you are so great, very nice and very fast!

It is possible to make the left and right arrows a little smaller (but just a little,not too much) ? Anyway, if it is not possible is great, but I was just curious to see how it looks.

Thanks a lot mate
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Like this, or you want a bit bigger?

previous
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Make one like this and another one a little bigger to see how they are!
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
OK, the small and meidum arrows are both in this zip.
[Android Themes] SapphireNL:
Thats what i call good news :) Can't wait to do some more tweaking with my lockscreen.
[Android Themes] tilt4life2:
I got WidgetLocker and placed phone, sms, email, and gmail on it. Sent some test emails out and the unread emails weren't showing up. So I search Market and instaled SMS Unread Count and that works. Only problem is that it doesn't show unread emails for my Outlook email. It only shows Gmail counts.

Is there a widget to show unread/new emails that are not gmail?

Thanks
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
I just have the notification bar show when the screen is locked. Touchdown shows unread count there, so its good enough for me.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Thanks a lot @helllmonkey they all looking great, now I'm not decided witch one to set on my screen :))

Thanks man
[Android Themes] ceejay83:
can anyone else help me on how to resize sliders? just resizing the background and saving as png doesn't show up. i'm editing custom sliders from the WL theme thread
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Glad you like it.
[Android Themes] runjhun:
just install widgetlocker but trying to install theme on my optimus p500

copied the themes zip in the directory-sd cars/data/.......widget../themes

but its not loading up any help appreciated changing wallpaer and and widgets wrking just the theme doesnt load up
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Extract it so that it's in a regular folder and it will read it.

Sometimes it has issues with zips.
[Android Themes] DanCran:
Hey guys, I'm having an issue with sliders not aligning correctly on each bottom of my screen. I've tried all possible combinations of layout sizes to no avail. Is anybody else having this issue?

Any ideas on how to fix it?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Did you reboot? If so WL will disappear from your appdrawer. Go into data/app and see if you have multiple com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-NUMBER.apk's. If there are more than one delete all of them and reinstall WL - Now try pushing again.

No. The dots won't be 'eaten'. That's impossible to implement. I'm sorry.

It's pretty much straight forward like the mini guide says. I don't have any experience using NinjaMorph to edit the images in WidgetLocker so I can't really say. Your project doesn't seem to be saving correctly. I'll try out NinjaMorh and let you know how it goes.

In the meanwhile I encourage you to either use the APKManager method which is foolproof. Or simply try the ADB method. It might look like they're the heaviest workloads but they're not. All the guides take about the same amount of time.
[Android Themes] iTouch24:
i appreciate if u could try ninjamorph .. seems real simple ... but yet aint working for me

i looked at APK MANAGER on first post but the instructions are for PC and i have MAC

i checked out the istructions on the page for the software

(Linux):

- Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)

- Open terminal and change-directory to apkmanager (Easiest way is to type "cd ")

- Chmod 755 Script.sh

- Chmod 755 all files apps inside other folder (thanks for the tip bkmo )

- Run script by typing ./Script.sh

- Minimize the script

- Edit files inside the out folder

- Maximize the scrip

not following these instructions for linux

thanks zHk3R for the assistance ... its a shame that everyone else commenting in here, that got it working, dont also give a helping hand
[Android Themes] ijob:
I've given up a defeated man :(

Cant sign the apk so i dont loose al my settings, sorry, I tried :(

Have been trying to create a signed pacman lock screen :(
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Where exactly is things starting to fall apart?
[Android Themes] bouloud:
Hi, yes, it is installed and running fine... But can't see the apk. Do I have to have extended rights to see the content of the folder?

Directory details: 0 bytes

Permissions: d--
[Android Themes] iTouch24:
what program are u using to find the application ?

root explorer, titanium backup?
[Android Themes] bouloud:
Hi, yes sorry, I think it's because I'm not rooted... I'm only using astro
[Android Themes] ijob:
Just an update to say a huge thanks to member peniston who helped me sort it. Cheers matey :)
[Android Themes] iTouch24:
great i am the only one still in the dark then .. haha

u want to shed some light on what u learned?
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
Everytime I restart my phone widget locker isnt there! Im using the ADB method by the way.
[Android Themes] iTouch24:
even though i cannot get the theme to work either ...

from reading this thread you are having your issue because your file is not signed ... u have to sign it or push to system/app
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
How do I sign it, and I thought I already was pushing it there?
[Android Themes] iTouch24:
check out the first post on signing method ... but many people are having issues with it ...

u might be pushing file to data/apps ... its said that if file is there and not signed u will loose settings after reboot
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
Where does everybody get those grainy wallpapers in different colors? Theres like three on the second post and its all over the post your homescreen thread, and I really want to have them. Can anyone direct me on where to get them?
[Android Themes] renster721:
Gotcha, I will try the apk manager method. Thanks for the reply.
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
I ask and I ask but noone seems to know the answer. zHk3R seems to use them the most and may even be the creator, so ill ask you zHk3R.

Where do you get those wallpapers?
[Android Themes] Ganii:
My first try:
[Android Themes] peniston:
Search for related tags on WallBase

"color" "abstract" or even the color you want "Green" "blue" etc.
[Android Themes] Mylenthes:
Great website but I couldnt find what I was looking for.

zHk3R has it on the second and third post. Its always grainy-ish and I saw green red and purple (And I saw blue in another post) I love these wallpapers, but I cant find them!
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
If you mean there is a small gap between the slider and the bottom of your screen, it's because you don't have an anchor set.

You can change it in the layout.
[Android Themes] Osbor:
anyone know when the latest beta release will be available?

according to a fellow a few pages back, the beta version has the ability to remove the clock from sense-style widgets

this is like the best thing ever, in my opinion

so, when is it due to land? or alternatively, how can i acquire the beta .apk?
[Android Themes] DanCran:
Lol, I'm an idiot. Thanks DJ.
[Android Themes] kaos217:
I'm sorry if this was asked before, but I have downloaded a bunch of themes and imported into Widgetlocker and I can see the options to change them, but this just seems to change the slider.

When I downloaded the themes, they had nice clocks and dates that were supposedly all within the theme.

How can I get those clocks and dates to show?

Also, how can I use said clocks as my default clock once unlocked?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
You misunderstand. Those are not part of the WidgetLocker themes. I found this very confusing at first myself. All it is is the slider.
[Android Themes] kaos217:
Ok, then how do I get those clocks, the ones with the big fonts and such.

i was more interested in that feature, than the unlocker
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
There are a couple of threads worth checking out.

The Post Your Home Screen thread has lots of good info, but it's huge - just jump in and start following it.

Then there's the Commonly Used Widgets thread, smaller, easier to follow, but not near as many neat things to discover.

There's the whole Android Themes subforum that's worth browsing through.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Like, 90% of the clocks you see are made using Minimalistic Text, which you can change the font size to whatever you want. Well, to the limit anyway.

Others are Make Your Clock, Bob Clock, and that's really the main 3.

Digital Clock Widget is used at times but you can make that using Minimalistic Text.
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
Created a

VERY

simple website with the free web hosting site realservers.info for a couple of my themes and was wondering if someone wouldn't mind popping over to make sure all the links work. I know, shameless self promotion. :p

The themes are nothing special but thought this might work as another way to aggregate themes. Sometimes you don't want to wade through 100+ posts to find what you are looking for...
