Cold November Mod

Be sure you select the correct slider. For example, if you select the iPhone slider/layout it will appear the same but the vibrate/loud slider will not be there. I created Cold November with an iPhone and Standard Android mod in one.

My original post about Cold November is on DeviantArt. As I've only recently registered at XDA, I am not able to post links. However, if you go to ashleyspurlin.deviantart.com, you should see the Cold November screenshot. All of my resources are listed on the DA submission. Alternatively, you can search (on Google) for "aurora mods by psychopulse"

Be sure you have selected the correct slider/layout. Cold November was created with an iPhone and a Standard Android mod in one.

Actually, my original WL mod includes an iPhone and Android Standard mod.

Idk about the font but he posted the bg earlier in the thread.
[Android Themes] annewbie:
Can anyone please help me out?

I followed the instructions on Page 1 and I am using Root Explorer. However, I can't replace png in widgetlocker-1.apk. Thank you.

Edit: Never mind. I used APK manager to create the signed .apk and then installed it. It works now.
[Android Themes] .hide:
any1 able to help me . widgetlocker is not inside my application list whenever i reboot my device. i need to install the apk and copy the apk with the custom slider back again.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Please read the first post.

MinimalMod

Hi everyone!

After I've seen ashleyspurlin's Cold November Mod which is Awesome, I've decided to make mine inspired by hers.

So here it is, let's call it MinimalMod!

It contains 5 different lockcreens: Standard/iPhone/Moto/Rotary/Sense

Everything is in the zip, go watch the first post to know how to apply it!

Hope you like it!

[EDIT]

I've made some changes in the archive:

_ now includes landscape view

_ mdpi support for low resolution screens

_ fixes on some images that didn't rendered correctly

For those who had downloaded the previous version, please download the newest version!
[Android Themes] P4rtyboy:

Hi

I recently re purchased WidgetLocker, to have a play around...

So far... so good.

But I am trying to load up the "Tron" slider.. Matches my CM Theme...

I transfered the mod.zip to my phone in a folder.. "Mod"

From here, I used Root explorer to copy the files into the apk...

In data/app/drawable.

They are there, can open them up... deleted the apk from sd card, as no longer required.

Now, the issue is, WL has vanished from my app drawer...

I have rebooted.. yet still nothing...

What am I missing?

Aaron
[Android Themes] BlueIS:
Trouble for the NOOB

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

>>>how do i enable USB debuggin<<<
[Android Themes] b00f:
settings/applications/development/USB debugging.

On a side note.. if I did this alllll via Root Explorer, do I need the debugging on?

As all I did was transfer the pngs to the sd card... copy them to the apk on the sd.. and then overwrite the apk in the data/app folder....

It even said I would overwrite existing file...

Really puzzled.. as the file is in the right apk, in the right folder...

WL has just gone....

sorry if this has been covered...
[Android Themes] P4rtyboy:
i have the same issue, when i use ninja root and all the other methods... im puzzled too =(
[Android Themes] b00f:
So...

Reinstalled from Market.

Copy apk from hdpi folder (root) to SD card.

Permissions for apk on SD changed as per instruction.

Selected "tron" png and copied to apk on SD card.

Check files are there (open via Astro, they are there.. stock png gone.)

Close Root Explorer...

Open it again. R/W setting.

Copy file from SD to phone "Want to overwrite?" OF COURSE I DO!

Click yes...

... go back to SD, deleted the apk, as its now in data/apps...

Reboot.

WL is gone...

but I checked the apk in data folder, and it is there.... with the tron slider png..

Tell me what I am doing wrong.
[Android Themes] mkcm97:
Could you share the icons you used for email and sms please, or where you got them?
[Android Themes] BlueIS:
Nothing happens after I debug

I can't really see the .apk file after debugging and connecting my phone with my computer.
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
i've made 3-4 varieties of icons for those two apps...i need a pic to know which one to give you!:p
[Android Themes] Tsjoklat:
This is the one for me :-) Thanks! Goes well with what you had posted on Deviantart, good work.
[Android Themes] tcallahan:
is it supposed to be that when you reboot the phone all is lost and you have to push the file again?? Anytime i reboot i loose widget locker...??
[Android Themes] vali_ics:
with what method want to do this ? don't know if you need reboot and why you lose apk.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I've encountred this problem aswell. Seems you have to sign the .apk in order to keep your settings when you reboot.
[Android Themes] ilangoadigal:
Guys just sign the APK and install it after uninstalling the stock version, it's easier and won't cause problems
[Android Themes] mintvilla:
i edited the megaman one so its the same power ball but i changed it to street fighter, kinda like it.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Sweet.

I'll add it to the second post when I test it out :D
[Android Themes] mintvilla:
ive done a screen grab as when i try to download the images it gives a white background instead of the transparent one that it should have.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Great! I'll upload the images to my Photobucket and add them to the second post.

EDIT: Now added to the second post.
[Android Themes] tcallahan:
ok so how would you sign the .apk??
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Follow the steps [APK MANAGER] and you should be golden ;)
[Android Themes] ThatJawn:
I must be special. Went into drawable hdpi. Found them, replaced them. Annd no go. Should I change the name of the new slider and background to something different than the stock one that is already in widget locker?

It just won't change.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Are you rooted? If so - Use Root Explorer or shell (adb) to see if you've got more than one com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk or anything similar in your /data folder - Delete all of the .apks and reinstall WidgetLocker.

What method are you using to push the new .apk to your phone?

First to ensure that it's working and that the PNGs are applied use the ADB method. It's sure to work.
[Android Themes] mintvilla:
same as the street fighter one, but did it with mortal kombat characters, and i made the freeze ball abit smaller.
[Android Themes] peniston:
Irrelevant

So zHk3R, I dunno if this happens to you, but when you have your three widgets on your homescreen.

Digital Clock widget, BW and whatever else you use. I think it was that simple text widget.

You drug the Clock widget all the way down to the text, that way the background is the background of all three right?

I do that, it works fine, but then there are times where the whole background covers the weather and my battstatt widget. Instead of the all overlaying the background. Get what I'm sayin'? It's frustrating.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Yeah. I've been there. It's gonna happen because of the background.

It doesn't happen unless I reboot or anything like that, though.

Adding Digital Clock Widget again and again isn't even irritating anymore - It's just gotta be done, haha.
[Android Themes] vali_ics:
i'll post it tommorow. only for test this. i need to change font and the color on his back.

if you want to post.
[Android Themes] pjames:
finally got it to work. it was because the apk wasnt signed. thanks for all the help. you guys kick ass
[Android Themes] sp00fy:
lol i'm loving this one...

would it be too much trouble if you could make it with different characters?

Ryu on the left and Ken or Sagat on the right.
[Android Themes] Ampicillin:
@- zHk3R

Can i have wallpapers that you are using ? without that its not looking good :o

By the way is there anyway to hide notification bar of widget locker (I mean ongoing notification) ?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Check out my Dropbox. I'm sure they're there. If not I'll upload them.

I favorite most of my wallpapers which I get over at DeviantART.

So if you visit my profile and check out my favorites you should find something you like.

Yeah! Menu > Settings Advanced > Hide Notification Icon.
[Android Themes] mkcm97:
Copy it over to system/app
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
i dont understand why people have so much difficulty doing this.

i copied my widgetlocker.apk from /data/app.

extracted with apk manager, edited the files i wanted, zipped with apk manager (choose option 2 - non system app), then sign with apk manager. copy to sd card. uninstall existing version, and install modified version normally.

works for me, stays after reboots, and it's not in /system/app:)
[Android Themes] xero2002:
Got a question about the 5 second rule, since I can't get it quite right.

I have the modded app installed, no problems so far.

Installed it, went into settings, advanced, root 5 second rule.

But when I have the phone unlocked, then press power button to lock the phone,

then press home button again to unlock, it still shows the AOSP lockscreen for a short bit. Any help? (Searched the topic, couldn't find an answer) :)
[Android Themes] fourire:
In my case, I had to install in system app (internal memory) so that it runs smoothly otherwise if I install it on the ext3 partition, I had problems
[Android Themes] iTreezy:
So question. I've been watching this thread for awhile and was wondering... what if you wanted to do a rotary or X10 slider how would that work?

Oh and great job everyone these are all beautiful lockscreens.
[Android Themes] Painuchiha:
"NINJAMORPH:

4) Find "slider_iphone" and replace the image with the one you chose earlier

5) Now find "slider_iphone_background" and replace it with the last PNG

"

i don't get it... after i did 3), how can i replace the slider_iphone from the mod folder, which is on my sdcard, with the "slider_iphone" which is on ...?! Is there any button?!
[Android Themes] fizic:
Whew ... great thanks! And I'm tired of explaining the error in the cold november mod to "zHk3R"...
[Android Themes] Raadius:
Glass House.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Your error isn't an error at all. This is a forum on Android phones and development, I'm not the only one who has knowledge on how to edit the images in an .apk file. It's all covered in the first post in detail. I'm sorry you're having problems but I don't have time to tend to everyone who has a problem. I get about 50 emails a day asking about WidetLocker, requests and personal emails asking for help.

"Cold November" is an Android Standard or WidgetLocker mod. It has an iPhone mod and Android Standard/WidgetLocker. They're both included in the ColdNovember mod-folder. In order to use the iPhone slider which has a key you slide all the way over to the other side you use "iPhone" in Look and Feel. In order to use Android Standard or WidgetLocker you use either of them.

I really don't see what the problem is.
[Android Themes] earni:
not too long ago i started using this dock:

its one that was posted in the 'post your homescreen' topic.

it was annoying me as i couldnt find a lockscreen to match, so i made one. heres a screenshot of the lockscreen:

im not too sure if i'm allowed to post the .apk here as its a paid app so for now i will just attatch the .png's

there is also a landscape version included.

i can also include the dock icon if anyone wants it. the dock is the same as the lock background. ;)
[Android Themes] fourire:
nice, what is your icons ?
[Android Themes] punkmonkey1984:
Slide screen Sense style

Big fan of slide screen at the moment wanted a lock screen to match, so made the one attached, altho i cant get to work,

Edit iv got it working, also changed the .png a little so the time fits more better
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
mann if only i was epic with photoshop, i want to make a christmassy lockscreen slider xD
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
FUUUUUUUUCK.

I downloaded the latest version. 1.2.8.1

Installed it. This version is nice. You can now set the background tint for a custom wallpaper, instead of the standard one..it has two new sliders, all that stuff.

Enable unlock sound..forcecloses.

STILL!

WHY, WIDGETLOCKER? WHY?
[Android Themes] bobbypink:
"java was not found, you will not be able to sign apks or use apktoo" ..

;/ i really want to mod my lockscreen... \:

anyone else had this problem? how do i fix it? i HAVE java, i uninstalled & re-installed, but i get the same message from script.bat ..

please help me!
[Android Themes] Prodeuce:
On the OP, what clock widget was used for Dark Gradient?
[Android Themes] Raadius:
What is your operating system?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I've been crazy busy the last few weeks. Between playing Black Ops and jugglig real life I haven't had time for Android at all - And therefore I haven't followed up the thread like I should either. I'll add all the new mods later today and to everyone sharing your mods: Thanks!

To the ones having problems with Unlock/lock sounds: I'm sorry I can't help you but I don't have that problem. Maybe I'm special? - But no, seriously I get the sounds to work without doing anything so I don't have much to say on the subject.

Java not found: Then reinstall Java. Something might have happened in your previous installment so something failed. Either way; Reinstall Java and try again. Hopefully it'll work next time.

Peace.
[Android Themes] fourire:
In my case, I had this problem but the solution for me is uninstalled and reinstalled JAVA and now all it's perfect. Look in your windows apps if you have another version
[Android Themes] fourire:
It's simi clock
[Android Themes] iTreezy:
I'm an idiot and got Lockbot mixed up with Widgetlocker (I used lockbot early this summer when I first got my phone) but I kept wondering what happened to the X10 lockscreen haha.

Whenever I attempt this it either says device not found or that the directory isn't correct. Does the .apk actualyl end with -1.apk? or is it just .apk?

It'll probably be easier if I download a copy somewhere online and replace the installed app.
[Android Themes] stewart19:
I had the same situation us you before

just copy it to system/app, then reboot

(don't reboot before copying to system/app!!)

WL is still there and using your mod!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
The easiest option you guys have is to either use APKManager or email me with your receipt.

If the .apk is unsigned it's a temporary mod unless you install it to /system/app. SO APKManager is the best choice you've got.

In the first post there's a detailed instruction on how to sign your .apk. It literally takes 3 minutes and you can install the .apk with any file manager. Your settings will be kept on reboot and all that good stuff.
[Android Themes] Jaimemex:
Wow this is awesome bro!

BTW were can i find that wallpaper?
[Android Themes] Adriench:
Thanks a lot! I've found this wallpaper here it's called ocean observations
[Android Themes] earni:
they are called 'BlackUPS' search for iPhone icons.
[Android Themes] Skemer:
I pulled the com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.apk file from my phone then using APK manager I extracted the .apk replaced the appropriate .pngs then re-zipped the .apk and then used APK manager to sign it. After that I copied the file to my sd card and tried installing it with Astro but it just tells me the application can't be installed :(
[Android Themes] tominabox1:
you didnt uninstall the version on your phone before attempting to re-instlal the new one
[Android Themes] v01rider:
im a newb. my first try!
[Android Themes] h_zee13:

[Android Themes] Jaimemex:
Nice and thanks again for the great theme!
[Android Themes] paimon.soror:
Not sure if this has already been covered, but can someone post a way to mod the custom sliders to be like the "motorola froyo" slider? Look and Feel only lets you change the default slider. Thanks
[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
The newest version of WidgetLocker actually have the Moto Froyo sliders to choose from.
[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
my look as of tonight:

I modified the Livon Mod files: resized the unlock box to fit the key box snuggly and added a little lock. here's the customized .png if anyone wants it:

Clock: gTab simi Clock 3x1

Weather: Beautiful Weather 1x1 ("Tick" skin)

Battery: BattStatt 4x1
[Android Themes] iTreezy:
Starting to get really pissed off. If I plug my phone into my pc the second i turn on debug my pc shuts down. Everytime.
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
i got bored, nothing awesome really. the transparent slider background is next to the slider.
[Android Themes] paimon.soror:
Really? I only see the ability to change the default slider (the unlock/sound one) to froyo skin, not the additional sliders that you can add to launch other actions.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Updating this thread later today (adding mods etc).

Stericson has released a new app which I'm going to experiment with. Might be a new way of modding WL.

Stay tuned.
[Android Themes] punkmonkey1984:

now if i could just figure out how to get it to stay when i reboot :confused: :mad::mad::mad:

when i reboot widget locker is gone from the app drawer and all my widgets on my screen say problem loading. ive tried apk manager to sign them. once re-signed i copy over to my sd and leave out signed part of the file name.
[Android Themes] jasonevil:
Make sure you are following the directions fully. Plus you are probably going to have to use adb to navigate to your data app folder. You more than likely have more than one copy of WL installed
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
in order to get it to stay, i adb push it to /system/app.

when i want to modify widgetlocker and the png's i just create the png's and put them into the apk file which is located in my tools folder and replace the existing png's.

then just push it to /system/app :). no need to uninstall or anything.
[Android Themes] v01rider:
doh, forgot to mention im using root explorer. i will try adb pull/push ;)
[Android Themes] dericb11:

Not sure what you guys are using to do the screen captures but if someone could PM me that would be great. As for now I am posting a PVZ mod I made. Also including the Wallpaper for Screen capture if someone took hook it up for me.

[Android Themes] Max_Pain:
i use the dalvik debug app. if you have the android sdk, go into the tools folder, there is a script there called ddms.bat i believe. click on it, it'll open the dalvik debug machine app or whatever it's called. plug in your phone to the usb port and the phone will show up on the left pane. click on it, then click on Device -> Screen Capture:D

Hello,

my LCD Density is set to 180 instead of the default 240, so I would like to ask what modifications should I do to the pngs in order to fit my "resolution". I searched the thread for "density", "lcd" etc but I could not find any posts. CG for this great topic!

[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Good question. I don't know. Post a screen showing off how WL looks with the current mods maybe I'll have some insight.

That's Typoclock. Search this forum and you'll find it.
[Android Themes] heal123:
Good~!

Wow~~ great :D

Thx
[Android Themes] tzic:
Ok I ll post the results later. Does anybody know how I can change the icon of the shortcut that s been placed on the widgetlocker screen? I mean, if I put a shortcut eg phone and I long press it I can only move it, delete it and not change its icon? Is there a way to do this?

Thank you for the quick reply.

PS Typoclock can be found here
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
If you add a plain shortcut you can't do anything with it.

You can create custom shortcuts using Desktop Visualizer.

Not sure if this has been asked or reported before, but i cant modify my widgetlocker. Well actually i CAN but if i reboot my Nexus One after modifying the file, Widgetlocker is uninstalled when i boot and i have to replace ALL my widgets because none of them will load.

Any info would be appreciated .

What is the name of the widget that has the time on the left, and the the date on the right separated by the vertical line. For example the one on the tron mod.
[Android Themes] tzic:
You need the "sms count widget" in order to show missed calls, sms and mail. Just add it in tool mode.

Regarding sms count widget, is there a way to use custom icons? The way to do it is to follow the exact same steps as with widget locker, or is there an easier, more friendly way?

:)
