sounds good :)
[Android Themes] Mellow_Ninja:
I did try enabling that. Still force closes. No, sadly there isn't a version for Mac. Tons of people posting for it on the APK thread though...
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
sounds like 1.3 is coming next week ... ? :D

keep this thread going so we can keep all the cool mods in one place!
[Android Themes] anrabi4:
Woo! What`s up with the long-awaited theme manager? I hope it`s worth it! Can`t wait to play with it! :D
[Android Themes] tominabox1:
1.3 beta has been in testing for a few weeks already so it might still be a couple more. No word from the dev exactly though. It will make all this nonsense go away though :)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Really? I enabled it on mine and it didn't force close. It does when I enable it in WL though.

Haha we've been waiting so....long... I hope it's soon:)
[Android Themes] sarebok:

[Android Themes] DaftMike42:
So Im having so difficulties applying mods to widgetlocker

I have a mac so Im doing the method involving root explorer.

When I open root explorer and check the data folder it is completely empty.

The system/app folder seems to be where all the .apks are, but I cannot locate the apk for widgetlocker.

Can anybody help me locate the apk?

edit: you know what ignore this post, it seems 1.3 is on its way and will solve this issue
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Use the search feature and type widgetlocker and it will show you were it's located.
[Android Themes] allday23hero:
Thanks for all your help! but i think im going to wait for the idiot proof update at this point...using Apk manager - im following everything to the T and cant seem to install it...went thru steps so many times i think i have them memorized. Thanks again.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Well, if you want you can email me your receipt and I can mod it for you. Up to you but you'll have the mod you want until you figure out how to get it working or until it's updated and who knows when that is haha.
[Android Themes] tyrann619:
On my desire hd the app will be removed on restart.. i tried some ways which you described. i tried it over Root explorer, ADB, Ninjamorph ... all the same.. it works but on restart the app doesn't exist anymore..
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
#1 post.

"Important things to know".

That will happen when the .apk is unsigned.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
What about when it it signed and it does it?

I don't have this problem, but I've signed it for other people, and I just send the one I already signed and used and they were having it disappear on reboot.

Works perfect for me though.
[Android Themes] tyrann619:
so now i tried it with a signed app.. i only renamed the signedcom. in com. so that has the original name and than i followed the adb description -> disappear after reboot

Followed the root explorer description with premissions and r/w -> the same

so nothing has changed with the signed one
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I don't know how helpful this will be, but here is what I did and I don't have any problems with it disappearing. I modded it, signed it, all that good stuff and then I placed it on my SD card and installed it from there.
[Android Themes] tyrann619:
if i mod the application itsself i can`t install it.. what i have to do?

I only extract it -> change picture -> zip it -> sign it all over the apkmanager

On the phone stands later that the application cannot be installed.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Well, I use the APKManager method, which is what you seemed to have used. You just mod it with that, sign it, and make sure you uninstall the original WidgetLocker. It shouldn't be installed on your phone when you try to install the mod.
[Android Themes] tyrann619:
sry i cant follow you XD

So i have a com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk which is signed (how i can check this?) i copy it into data/app with the right permissions.. like i was said in the tutorial post. i dont know what you mean. What you have done?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Once you have the apk on your computer, uninstall WidgetLocker from your phone. Then, once you sign in, install the mod. I just keep mine on the SD card and it works fine. I haven't tried moving it to /data/app and I don't plan to because I'm not having any problems.
[Android Themes] tyrann619:
Pls explain it better XD i dont understand what you have done,, because im new at android and what app do you sign? The Install app WidgetLocker_1.2.8.1.apk

Or the data app com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk

Where you copy it. And so on...

Thanks
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Lol, go read the first and second post.
[Android Themes] wiz_-_kid:
+1. Exactly what I had to do.

ADB pushing didn't work for me.

Had to be an install from SDCARD of signed apk.

EDIT. ^Was meant to be response to DJ Carpenters' previous post.^
[Android Themes] tyrann619:
@ zHk3R

Maybe you'll read my posts.. there you can see that i tried it 8times with the instruction on the first page
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Your latest comment doesn't make sense.

It works for about 200 000 others. So you're doing something wrong.

- Sign the .apk

- Uninstall your current WL.

- Copy the signed .apk to your SDCard.

- Install the signed .apk
[Android Themes] xdpurp:
For the Sense slider how do you hide the AM/PM?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Okay...the installed WidgetLocker is the same as the one that's in /data/app. When you download apps, they go to that folder. Go to the folder and copy the apk to your SD card. You can use Root Explorer to copy it. Personally, I use SuperTaskManager to export apk's to the SD card. Once you have it on your computer, use APKManager and follow the instructions for the APKManager method exactly as they're written. I used those instructions to learn how to sign apk's myself and it's explained perfectly. Then, once you do that, put it back on your SD card and install it. But before you install it, uninstall the original WidgetLocker from your phone(the one that's not modded) because you can't have the same app installed twice. Make sense?

Well I've never ADB pushed or learned how to. I just do it using RE and things like that. I just always install apk's from the SD card because I keep them in a folder and I've never had problems with it. Haven't tried copying it to /data/app either. I guess I could see what happens
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Curious about that myself. I think some .XML editing has to be done.
[Android Themes] marhensa:
worth to try...

nice mod...

thanks :D
[Android Themes] rOck4n:
Trying these rite now. Thanks :D
[Android Themes] BodyMilk:
hey all,

just a question. i've tried like its shown in the 2nd post with rootexplorer. but after a reboot my widgetlocker is gone :( i've added the two images, and it worked till the next reboot...
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
That tends to happen when the apk is not signed. I suggest doing the APKManager method. It's really simple.
[Android Themes] lesa0208:
can someone share this mode, and how to get this clock widget? I think that is simi clock but how can i get that skin
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
I did something similar like that, I photoshopped the box and orange thing onto the wallpaper. ;)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I've seen that several times and never even thought about that. I'd love to know where to get that myself.
[Android Themes] lesa0208:
I try to create this i photoshop :D
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Its from the meizu m9 theme over at macthemes, dl the theme and photoshop the imgs into your wallpaper.
[Android Themes] BodyMilk:
is there a option for linux to sign an .apk ? i dont wanne install windows only for this ;)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I have the theme. It's Photoshopped to be smaller than it actually is in the theme though and I don't know how to use PS really. I downloaded it today and it isn't showing up either. I have an idea though to see if I can get the mod going.
[Android Themes] h4mza:
Thank you for these
[Android Themes] lesa0208:
Here, if someone wants to play with preety iphone lock, i post mods for widget locker, one psd, and png for that orange bubble
[Android Themes] mdroidcaptivate:
I tried doing this a million times yesterday and still couldn't get it to work. I'm really new to android and have no idea what alot of these files and programs are yet. I tried looking through the rest of the thread but it was just too long. Anybody know of a thread or video that explains every single step?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
All you need is APKManager and the instructions for it. Download it from the op.
[Android Themes] mdroidcaptivate:
What about all that adb stuff?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
That's a matter of choice basically. I've never used ADB. I just move the mod to my SD card and install it.
[Android Themes] TsunKit:
I still can't get this to work..

I adb pulled it, went to res\drawable-hdpi and copied my pngs over. It overwrited, and I pushed the .apk back onto my phone.

When I opened up widget locker, i went to the slider and chose iphone, but its still the original one.

What's going wrong :(
[Android Themes] wiz_-_kid:
A couple of us mentioned a couple of posts previously, that we hadn't had success using 'adb' to push the file to memory.

Instead, try copying your new, modified, zipped (and signed!) apk file to your SDCARD and install from there.

Good idea to uninstall the already installed application first, then re-install the modded version.

Actually, the location of your new file doesn't really matter as long as it is available to whatever application you are using to carry out application installs.

For example, I myself, use ES File Explorer (which can access files directly on my laptop or other device).

Thus, I install the files directly from my laptop.

Saves copying files over to your mobile THEN installing.

Either way, essentially you should try INSTALLING the application as you would any other apk, NOT adb-pushing-followed-by-restart.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Thank you. That's what I've been saying. It takes maybe 15 seconds to mount your phone and place it on your sd. Or, personally, I use Dropbox to download and keep eveything organized. ADB in my opinion really isn't needed.
[Android Themes] robinkimfoo:
i got widgetlocker to work using the apkmanager..thanks to dj carpenter for explaining the process.

im running into some other problems. the app itself works fine for the most part, except for a few glitches. does anybody experience the following?

-whenever i wake the phone, theres a slight lag before the screen turns on..i dunno if it's because i put widgets on the lock screen but theres definitely a momentary pause. the fade in is kind of choppy too.

-i enabled root bypass of the five second rule but every now and then i still get the stock lock screen randomly and theres a notification about the five second rule. sometimes i see the stock lockscreen for like 2 seconds and then the widgetlocker one appears. kind of annoying.

-lock unlock sounds still dont work =(

if anybody could help me out with these i'd be forever grateful..unless of course these are normal glitches haha
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Thanks, man:) But, you're ptobly getting the 5 second rule thing from locking the phone and unlocking it right after. That's normal. What confuses me though is that, that is a 5 second rule. So what is the normal 5 second rule when you don't have the root bypass selected? Because that's the only 5 second rule I've ever seen apply and you can't prevent it
[Android Themes] Riyanweb:
After banging my head for hours trying the abd way, i found an easer way to get around it ( Ninjamorph )
[Android Themes] mugey:
No more mods update? :D
[Android Themes] TsunKit:
ohhh thanks I'll give it a try!

grab the apk, edit it, sign it somehow, fresh install :)

fingers crossed!
[Android Themes] awaisuk:
When I turn on my phone while it was on sleep, and I press the power button, the screen comes on, but when I try to slide the unlock, it wont do it right away, it takes about 2-3 seconds and then it works.

I think the widget takes 2-3 seconds to open again in order for it to work......

How can I make it instant, like when I turn on phone, and slide that it should open righta way?
[Android Themes] kenneth.sung:
i wanna ask, i love the SENSEUI lock, becuase DHD's screen is too large, iphone lock type is not really suitable... however, i edited the slider, but is it possible to delete/disable the clock on the slider:D thanks >_< looking for the solution..

* becuase i use a clock widget, so TWO clocks on the widgetlocker page is too much..
[Android Themes] Loggik:
I was having the reboot issue, where the app would disappear after any reboot, and I was signing the APK. Pushing the APK to /system/app/ instead seemed to fix that, but now I have one question...

Will I be able to update WidgetLocker through the marketplace, or not? Not that it's that big of a deal... but just wondering:rolleyes:
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
If it's signed it should notify you when there is an update. Mine do. So, you should be able to either allow the update and it will replace the apk back to normal or you'll have to download the normal one but I think it will update.
[Android Themes] Loggik:
Okay thanks. I did sign it, but I was still getting the reboot issue for some reason...
[Android Themes] Humanio:
Its Beautiful Widgets. Download the skin, its called Flat Black or Flat White.
[Android Themes] trikpa:
guys, please can someone help me! :)

I applied the mod via adb and it worked....but, I reeboted the phone and had to do it all over again with the changed app(number 2 instead of 1)

but what if I reboot my phone again? I tried number 3 but that doesn't work...

what to do if I reboot several times?

or even better, can someone help me with signing the apk?

I downloaded apktool, but don't know what to do with it :D
[Android Themes] stankostanko:
You have detailed instructions on first page. Ako hoces, mogu i da ti prevedem :D
[Android Themes] itsyourboyerik:
i FINALLY was able to do this lol after weeks and weeks of putting it off because i was frustrated from failure everytime, i finally got it to work!

but anyway, my inquiry is whether i have to uninstall, and go through the whole process again if i want to change my current lockscreen again?? or can i just overwrite the current .apk with another signed one?
[Android Themes] stankostanko:
I uninstall. Didn't try to overwrite it. Anyone else?
[Android Themes] jolenemae21:
There is an option for 5 second delay for rooted phones. Its in the advanced options
[Android Themes] wahur1:
well i already enabled that feature as im rooted and using the leedroid rom but still i see tha htc lock screen :(...

what should i do ?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Wait a couple of seconds before waking up your device (:

Alternatively you can delete the lockscreen.apk or simply turn it off using a Power Control Widget.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
Somehow its not appearing now...no idea why..
[Android Themes] agormog:
which weather mod is armag3d0n2oo5 is using?
[Android Themes] peniston:
On the first page?

That would be Beautiful Widgets. Weather 4x1 Flat black theme.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
guys do i need to uninstall the widgetlocker whenever i change the pngs?
[Android Themes] jjsoviet:
Not necessarily. If you use the Apk Manager method you could overwrite the previously installed WidgetLocker with the modified one quickly with the provided batch script.
[Android Themes] The_Rouge:
Current Lock.
[Android Themes] crazyg0od33:
How are you guys, if you are, signing or getting your custom locks to stay in place after a reboot?

Every signing method I've tried hasn't worked..i even had other people sign it for me?

Thanks
[Android Themes] peniston:
Do you mean keeping WidgetLocker to stay the lockscreen the whole time?

After a reboot? There should be an option for that.

Settings > Behavior > Appear on boot. Check it.

If you're talking about the actual replacement lock/pngs not appearing after a reboot..then idk. There must be something defective.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
Well I'm using the apk manager but it makes the new apk...so it means I need to install via any explorer. Is that what you mean?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
That's the idea. It creates a new APK you can install using any File Manager.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
Ok got it..so just overwrite the new apk...
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Overwrite, uninstall the old one. Whatever.

If you used APKManager you have a fully functional .apk that is not dependent on anything else to work.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
Yeah I use only apk manager method.

Tell me something I first tried adb method and successfully pushed the file into my device but after that I couldn't find it ...than I gave up and used the apk manager method? So where the hell is that old file in my device? I still can't can't find that apk lol..
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
It's where you pushed it to.

Probably /data/app or /system/app
[Android Themes] wahur1:
With the es file explorer I can't find those paths...do I need any other file explorer? To look into those folders?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You can't go into system files with a normal file explorer.

You need Root explorer.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
Should I delete that file as in necessary to remove if or leave that If its not doing any harm?
[Android Themes] itsyourboyerik:
only reason i ask is i tried to put all the images in the folder during the process lol thinking i was gonna have all of them available in the choice of lockscreen but that didn't work out at all. i had to overwrite the current "iphone lock" file with one image at a time for it to show up in widgetlocker.
[Android Themes] stankostanko:
LoL. I did that first time :D
[Android Themes] stankostanko:
My lock screen:
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
No you don't have to uninstall.
[Android Themes] trikpa:
hehehe thanks, don't need translation :D

but...there is no mention on what happens if I reboot the phone more than once, I tried pulling apk with number 1, number 2, even number 3 but I can't change it anymore....

and this signing stuff, I don't get it, I downloaded apktool, how do I start it? it isn't an executable file...on this I would appreciate help :)
[Android Themes] patdiep:
So I used the root explorer method, and it works great. until I do a battery pull, When do I that, and reboot, it shows that widgetlocker is now NOT installed and all my widgets on my launcher pro are broken. They all say "Problem loading widget" whether it be desktop visualizer or digital clock widget. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
It depends on how you do it. If you use Astro and you try to install it, it will only have the option to uninstall the current one.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Some people still seem to be getting it and I don't know why. I've used several mods, the first few weren't signed, and I've never had the reboot issue. I install mine from the SD card though so that might be the different. I don't move it to /data/app like a lot of others and they seem to be the ones with the reboots. I could be wrong though but that's how it seems. None for me so far.
[Android Themes] itsyourboyerik:
umm so i'm noticing that there are banner ads showing up on my lockscreen now?? anybody else? it shows up right above the swipe to unlock.. i purchased the app and everything so i shouldn't be getting banner ads. really really weird.
[Android Themes] mr_rocha:
Hello everybody,

After reading a lot, I don't find what I was looking... is it possible to change the default locker sound in widger locker ? I find two files in the raw folder a wav file and a mp3, I try to change but it never works... any tips ?...I'm using the ninjamorph app.

Thanks
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Unless someone added a fix of some kind, which is possible, the lock/unlock sound is broken when you mod the app.
[Android Themes] winhwah:
The same here, the mod works just fine for me w/o the lock sounds enable. Otherwise, I will get FC everytime I unlock.

Edit: As the OP advised in his first post, I decided to change the compression level to 0 via the APK manager method. And voila, it solves my FC issue with the lock/unlock sounds. Everything work flawlessly now. Thank you OP and will love to see additional themes, they are awesome!!!

I've a problem:

After re-pack and sign, I'm triying to install the signed.com... and it shows me: "Application not installed."

¿What's happening? I used the APK Manager method.

EDIT: Solved. Just remove the old WidgetLocker ¬¬
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Wanted to share my experience since this didn't work for me first time I tried.

I tried the Root Explorer method and the slider image files were not getting replaced. So I read through the thread some and decided to try the apk manager method, although I was worried because I had problems with adb in the past. Looked like I didn't have to use adb (which I didn't). Here's what worked for me.

Downloaded apk manager.

Unzipped into tools of android-sdk (although I don't think it had to be there).

Followed instructions by OP in APK manager. Steps really work and I had never used apk manager before.

Copied my modified apk to dropbox.

Downloaded from dropbox to my sdcard. You obviously can do this via a USB connection as well.

Tried installing over old widgetlocker (simple apk install from sdcard). This didn't work, new sliders weren't there.

Then uninstalled market widgetlocker from phone. Then installed modded apk from sdcard.

Success!

Hopefully I won't have any issues or force closes. Time will tell. Thanks to the OP and all the creators of the mods for making this app even better! :D
[Android Themes] d_1000:
Thank you for posting this.... I have exhausted my patience using room explorer... I have a MAC and even have Windows on it, adb has created issues... I will try what you have posted. Thank you.

but how can u set this live wallpaper as widget in widgetlocker?
[Android Themes] Macelangelo77:
You can't. It replaces your wallpaper (with a possibility to set your own as background), so that's how it shows up at your lock screen.

[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
The PNG's for the lockscreen are in the framework-res apk. If you're using the phone, unlock, and SMS buttons then you'll have to Photoshop them on unless there is another way I don't know of.
