ok. i have 1 problem with my widget locker. When i push the button to block my screen he's working ok , but when i touch it again , first appear "Sweep glass to unlock" for 1-2 seconds , and after appear my widget locker. what can i do to remove my first lockscreen stock galaxy s ? i don;t want.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Good thing you got it to work! :D
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Ah! It's the 5 second rule. Go into Menu > Settings > Advanced > Root Bypass...

In the first 5 seconds when you turn your screen back on the regular lock screen will show up. Try bypassing it.
[Android Themes] vali_ics:
it's selected this one. first option when i enter in settings was this. It's Same. :( what settings you have at tab Advanced ?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
You are rooted, right? If not you can't bypass the original lockscreen.

Within the first 5 seconds of your screen going black the original lockscreen WILL show up. On any Android device.

You can either root your phone and try the bypass option in Settings > Advanced or you can try to remove the lockscreen.apk from /system/app

I have the latest version of WidgetLocker which is 1.2.7
[Android Themes] vali_ics:
yes it's root. and it's select the bypass and i accept superuser. now i need to know what apk to delete.
[Android Themes] pjames:
download no lock from the marketplace and it will turn off the stock lockscreen. no root required :)
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
I don't know what .apk controls the Lockscreen on Samsung devices.

On my device it's htclockscreen.apk or something like that. But then again; I'm on CyanogenMod so I can just turn the standard lockscreen off.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Hellpppp

O.K. sow I tried this method:

[APK MANAGER]

1) Download APK Manager

2) Put the .apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding"

3) Run the script.bat and extract it.

4) Drop the new PNG files in /res/drawable-hdpi overwriting the old ones.

5) Run ZIP .apk and select option 2 Regular APK

6) Sign the APK using option 4

Look in the "place apk-here-for-modding" folder for a new filed called SOMETHING-signed.apk. That's the modded WidgetLocker.

You can install this .apk using Astro or any other File Manager.

Where do I find /res/drawable-hdpi overwriting the old ones.

Where do I find ZIP .apk

Please explain step more precisely because I'm new and I don't really understand...

P.S. I have HTC Desire Unrooted

modded my stock unlock slider

did this a few weeks ago now. this isn't on widget locker it's just the stock unlocker.

I did do a widget locker mod that I wish I would've saved for a friend that was a football that you arched over to the field goal post. need to redo that one and have some other ideas I need to get around to.
[Android Themes] ablivian:
when i installed widgetlocker and wont to use it, I first receive the android lockscreen, and afer 1-2seconds the widgetlocker pops up.

Is there a way that I only receive widgetlocker?

I use elelinux 2.2 RC1 (froyo vannilla rom with cyanogen) on my htc hero G2 touch gsm.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Sweet lockscreen!

Go into Menu > Settings > Advanced > Bypass root... (5 second rule).

If you're on a Cyanogen based ROM you can probably disable the lockscreen in your power-control in the status-bar.

Go to Settings > CyanogenMod settings > User interface > And choose your widgets.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Hi.

Run the script.bat

Extract the .apk

/res/drawable-hdpi is inside com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk

Zip the APK using the .zip APK option in APKManager.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
O.K. Sow I opened the file with winrar , I extracted all files,place the slider.png and backround.png inside the folder /res/drawable-hdpi and from here I'm stuck again,I don't know where to find com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk and I cannot find Zip the APK using the .zip APK option in APKManager

When I did these my phone wasn't connected to pc (I must connect the phone and then do this?)

Also I have the app widgetlocker,apk on my pc it is not installed on the phone

Thanks for help
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Read the first post. It's all there. If you want to make an .apk you can install using File Manager you have got to use APKManager. I cannot provide support for it as I'm not using it, I'm sorry about that. But if you just wish to change the slider I encourage you to try the ADB method as it WILL work.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
I just want to change the slider but I don't know how to use ADB... :(

I tried with ADB and no luck and now I with this and it seems that I'm missing something

Thanks :(
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
That's why there are tutorials in the first post.

Pick one and follow it. ADB is sure to work if you set it up correctly.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
nothing would go wrong with adb. its the core of the modding world! :D
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Yes,but I really don't know anything about this is all black :)
[Android Themes] vokkE:
Looks awesome. What's the music widget? :)
[Android Themes] qroche85:
I guess it's poweramp, a terrific player btw.
[Android Themes] gazzz33:

Ok so i tried this in Ninja morph with no success. i tried doing it to the one in data/app, tried copyig it to the SD card and performing the change there, then copying it back to data/app. i am just stuck. any help would be appreciated.

i just get the application not installed message when i try to install. I just dont get it. i even went in after finishing NinjaMorph, rebooted phone, went into the app and saw the new slider in the .apk and it didn't work.

help :)
[Android Themes] GearX:
Thanks mate i found a similar Skin in "weather forecast widget". just lovin it!

theres another question. i'm looking for the music widget of the "ride mod" theme in #2. Does anybody know the name? or is it also in beautiful widgets?
[Android Themes] geldof123:
Hi, great thread and I've got a mod working after a while, looks great.

The problem I have is the lock screen wallpaper, it looks horrible and the gradients are banding.

To stop this with my normal wallpaper I used wallpaper set and save, anything similar for the lock screen?

I'm sure there is a very simple solution, thanks.
[Android Themes] dogans:
Works perfectly! Thanks!

For people wanting to change lock screen, read the guide above,
[Android Themes] webstar1:
Easy method which doesn't involve PC.

You will need:

1) Widgetlocker

2) 5MB free space in system directory

3) root explorer

4) astro file manager (free on market)

Instructions:

1) copy widgetlocker from data/app. (Can't remember full name of widgetlocker) to sdcard with root explorer

2) copy your images out from the mod you want.

3) open astro file manager and inside the app delete the files ur going to replace.

4) copy files inside widgetlockeer app

5) in root explorer copy modded widgetlocker to system/app. Uninstall widgetlocker in manage applications and reboot.

The mod should now work perfectly.

You can skip instruction 1 and last part of instruction 5 when you have followed my method once at least. Hope this helps and a thanks doesn't hurt anyone :)

ahhh i hate it when i lower my resolution is lower, it non (most) of those mod resize it automatically :(
[Android Themes] SladeNoctis:
Any chance somebody can post a rotary mod, i can't find one in the modz pack unless its names something else
[Android Themes] John_Q:
Check for minimal mod in the OP. There's a rotary screen available.
[Android Themes] SladeNoctis:
I checked there isn't a png saying anything about rotary and i checked each photo. Thats why i was wondering if it was named differently in the zip file.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
There are screenshots in the second post.

The "MINIMAL MOD" covers all of the sliders.

So yeah. Download that one..
[Android Themes] turdbogls:
Umm, this method doesn't work at all. i followed to the "T" and after reboot, i dont even have Widget locker. dont you have to install the modded version, and change permissions? (i didn't do either, but without doing that it just wont show up)

so after the reboot, i tried copying the modded version over to Data/app, and changed permissions as necessary, installed, and i got the "application not installed" message i have been getting ever since i tried this mod.
[Android Themes] webstar1:
Please read carefully, u push the new modded widgetlocker to SYSTEM/app. The reason is because when you replace the pngs, the sign is broken hence it wont install like a normal app. Then reboot and it will come up.

~Webstar1
[Android Themes] Perduabo23:
Link broke?

Meh, is it just my box or is the link to the MODS zip broke; 404 every :(time
[Android Themes] turdbogls:
Wow...i am an idiot. guess i missed that. Thank you for your help. i have the modified version working on my phone....however, i am getting FC messages on it every time i slide to unlock it....it unlocks the phone, but it gives me the message every time.

reboot doesn't fix this.

any idea what i did wrong THIS time.....lol
[Android Themes] Carlovn:
Hello mister Tesla,

I've bought your app trough paypal a month ago but never heard about this upgrade since now.

Are you sending upgrades to my email? Or are you improving the mods before releasing it to the greater public?

I also have a small request: I really want to use widget locker for making my device wake up by pressing the track pad of my desire Z but there is only a option to use all the hardware buttons to let the device wake up. This doesn't work for me because I press the buttons in my pocket accidently all the time.

Keep up the great work on this project!

Grtz,
[Android Themes] webstar1:
Dont have a clue why its doing that

Sorry

~Webstar1
[Android Themes] turdbogls:
no problem...not sure why it was doing it, but i re-modded the stock .apk again and everything is working great again.

love these forums. so helpful :)
[Android Themes] donhu:
I grabbed that lock icon from someone's framework (dont remember where) and I edited the sms png of the original widgetlocker slider so it looks more like lock one:

dunno if anyone wants them or not but i posted it :)
[Android Themes] iTreezy:
So I finally got this to work after root.

Used ninjamorph and then astro to paste in the images, finished it with ninjamorph

It worked fine but then my phone randomly reboots and all my widgets are gone and I have to reinstall widgetlocker

This has happened more than once. So right now my phone has nothing on it because I dont want to customize anything till I figure out why this is happening.

Anyone?
[Android Themes] John_Q:
I suggest giving apk manager a try. I use it and never had any problems with widgetlocker.
[Android Themes] iTreezy:
I would love to use apkmanager

Problem is whenever my phone is connected to my computer and i turn on USB Debugging it shuts my computer down and puts it in a constant reboot.

If I can get it to go to debugging without shutting down my computer my device is never found when I try to push and pull apks
[Android Themes] Aznboiii:
for britzinelul: I made it a little more bolder. Enjoy
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Wow,perfect

Thanks a lot I really appreciate
[Android Themes] John_Q:
You can still use it. Copy your apk to your computer using Root Explorer and your done. Don't worry about ADB not found you can still use it.
[Android Themes] iTreezy:
I'll give it a try

I'm at work too so its a different computer

don't tell my boss haha
[Android Themes] SladeNoctis:
I still cant find minimal rotary mod, i checked everywhere in the modz.zip file. There is nothing.
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
It's the one called 'Minimal Mod'... everything is modded including the rotary sliders.
[Android Themes] o0jaz0o:
These are stupidly amazing, thanks so much
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Dude. You haven't looked everywhere because "MINIMAL MOD" is included.

Minimal Mod has all of the sliders modded. (Android Standard, Rotary, WidgetLocker, iPhone etc).

It doesn't say "ANDROID ROTARY" - None of the mods say that.

They all have a specific name. Check the second and third post.
[Android Themes] SladeNoctis:
Dude when i said i checked everywhere i mean i actually looked through the whole zip package thats including minimal mod i already said this a couple of posts ago. But everybody keeps saying check minimal mod. Well go check yourself its not there i looked everywhere nothing to be seen. Unless the modz.zip thats on the op doesn't have it. I remember having the original modz.zip and seeing rotary in minimal mod but its not there anymore in the latest modz.zip.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
There's only one .zip

It's the one in the OP

The one in the OP contains Minimal Mod

Minimal Mod consists of three folders

drawable-hdpi

drawable-land-hdpi

drawable-mdpi

If you can't find it you are in fact blind.

I just downloaded the .zip again and the mod is included.
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
Well, i checked the minimal mod folder, and the rotary icons and sliders are in drawable-hdpi, like all other mods should be. And i have the latest mods zip.

Would you like me to show you an image with the sliders in it then? :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] Askeen:

[Android Themes] chiefy009:
I have tried both the root explorer and ninja morph way, both ways the app disappears from the app draw both before and after reboot. Trying to do this on 2.1 x10 and not having much look at all. When I reinstall the changed app it says it is going to overwrite the one already installed but still no icon appears in the app drawer so I cant turn it on.

Can some tell me where i am going wrong please ? either reply on here or pm me please before i throw my phone out the window :mad:

Thankyou for any guidance you can give me
[Android Themes] vokkE:
Just sign the modified .apk and install it normally. :) Don't know how ninjamorphed files should react, but imo the easiest way is to just sign the .apk with APK Manager.
[Android Themes] chiefy009:
:confused: how do i sign the apk ?
[Android Themes] vokkE:
There are some info at first page. :p Basically just download APK Manager, install Java SDK (if you don't have it already), place the modified .apk to folder called "place-apk-here-for-signing", run the script.bat, write "16", hit enter and you're done.

If it doesn't work like that, read some more from the first post and APK Manager thread. :)
[Android Themes] chiefy009:
I have signed the file and put back using rootexplorer still disappears

sent from my commodore 64
[Android Themes] vokkE:
If you've signed it you can install it normally. If that doesn't work then I don't know where the problem is. But that's how I do and it doesn't disappear anymore. I used the root explorer technique too, then moved to APK Manager because of the disappearing widgetlocker.
[Android Themes] chiefy009:
Well I bring news.

Changed to APK manager and followed the instructions from the first page signed it all up everything looked ok, now it says it can not install the application ?

EDIT : Woohoo success, removed the standard widget locker and reinstalled my modded version and VIOLA !!

Thank you for all your help and patience, I will be modding this every five minutes now thanks again
[Android Themes] JCreations:
Great work! The WP7 mod missed the files for landscape though, so i made them myself. Just add them in the drawable-land-hdpi folder.

Hello everyone,

Gotta say these are some really neat mods. I would really like to do a couple of these. As you can tell I am brand new to this site. I have read about 8 pages so far. I tried to install with ninja but got the force closes. I have no idea how to do the stuff under the force close portion. Is this done on a computer? I have a Mac. Is it possible to do it there? If its on the phone, how do i get to the right spot to start? Appreciate any help.

Thanks

:D
[Android Themes] kr.barth:

is there the possibility to have a widget as lockscreen-slider?? i think it would be great to have simiclock-widget as slider!!
[Android Themes] Shorte85:
I'm curious, not sure if this has been asked already or not. But curious if it is possible to change the font color that appears on the sense UI slider? Like is it white for good, or is there a way to change the color from white to black perhaps or a different color?
[Android Themes] Dugorf:
Black Froyo Slider

I have spent the last 3 days trying to make a theme that will go along with the black froyo theme I have on my phone. I have read through this forum and all over the web as well as emailing the developer. Every time I install the apk it works fine but my sliders are all distorted. The text is in the wrong place and the sliders them selves are not in the right positions and the ends are stretched. If anyone could offer some help it would be much appreciated.
[Android Themes] Shorte85:
What are you trying to save the images as? The size might have something to do with it as well. Did you try to go along with one of the pre-made ones that were given in the folder in the OP's post?

Not sure if I can really help much, but maybe someone else can give a shot as well. But I'm wondering if maybe you are not making the images in the correct size?

having the problem where after reboot i lose widgetlocker and none of my home screen widgets will load. I cant use APK manager since I have a mac computer. I was using ninjamorph. what are my options to make this permanent so this stuff doesnt happen anymore
[Android Themes] bm3r:
Just switched from GoTo Lockscreen. The only thing I miss is the notification of when your next alarm is scheduled to go off. It was quick and easy for me to doublecheck my alarm is set. Anyone have a way to get that in with WidgetLocker?
[Android Themes] jurrsaix:
Don't know if this has been addressed or not, but I was having issues with widgetlocker uninstalling/disappearing every time I rebooted. I was using WinRar to extract/replace image files and for it would patch over fine, work fine, however when I rebooted it would mess up all my widgets and not appear as an installed app anymore.

I found a fix somewhere else on the forums, used APK manager method and was able to just install the modded apk fresh from my sdcard. So if anyone is having similar issues, that was my solution.

Thanks.
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Unless you sign the .apk that will happen as it's a 'temporary' mod.

After i use apk manger and sign widget locker .

What do i do with the modded widget locker ?

Just install it ?
[Android Themes] trebz:
For the people using apkmanager and getting force closes when sound is turned on to unlock or lock. Before doing the mod, set the compression level for apk's to 0 (I believe option 19). See if that helps.

used APK Manager and it works perfectly. Had some issues with Java in Win7 but it's all good.

One problem i think i'm having is on the lock screen, instead of only being able to unlock the phone using the slider, i can actually press the end call button (mine has a dedicated red end button) and it passes the lockscreen. Anyone know why that would be?
