Hey,

Not sure if its the right section, but flashing themes is what got me to make this script in first place.

So this script essentially works like :

You drag/drop a theme update.zip onto it.

It then goes through the .zip and see's what its replacing.

Then from your phone it'll backup those files into a cwm flashable .zip

[Windows Only][Only backs up system partition content that .zip replaces]

Instructions :

Download this

Extract [To a directory whose path has no spaces or wierd characters]

Drag a theme update.zip onto UpdateBacker.bat

Follow through

Main purpose is so you have a backup incase of those theme flashes that ended up screwing things up.

Note : This is beta, i have only tested on mine.

Hope it works lol.

Updates :

Added adb/java check

Added push to sdcard
[Android Themes] SwiftJudgement:
EDIT: The entire contents of the unzipped folder need to be inside the tools section of your sdk for the .bat to work.

This is a great little tool. First try for me worked flawlessly.

I'm on a Samsung Captivate if it makes any difference.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Hey.

Yea forgot to say adb/sdk has to be in path.

Glad u got it working.
[Android Themes] dully79:
If this is like any of your other scripts it'll be a God send. I'll give this a try when I get home.

Thanks. 8-)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Ur too kind.

Let me know if it works. If people like/use this then i will keep updating and adding features.
[Android Themes] dully79:
Tried this last night and it worked perfect. I backed up my current theme then applied a bunch of corrupt .9's resulting in force close city. Applied the backup and everything returned to as it was.

Top marks once again. :)

How about an option to backup to flash.zip or a Metamorph file, would this be possible?
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Cool glad it worked for you.

Not sure what you mean by flash.zip, it already creates a flashable update.zip. Unless ur referring to renaming it to something else ?

As for metamorph, perhaps but id imagine it might be tricky.
[Android Themes] dully79:
Sorry, I meant an option to choose between exporting to zip or metamorph.

I thought a metamorph option might be a bit tricky, but if you don't ask you don't get :)
[Android Themes] katsching:
hi

can you reuploade the file please. i want to try this.

greets markus
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Try, again :)
[Android Themes] katsching:
hey thank you very much! :)
[Android Themes] katsching:
ähhmm hmm ... how i use this tool exactly? where i find this theme update.zip?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
EDIT: Per the suggestions, I downloaded and can confirm it seems pretty amazing. A big learning curve though, doesn't seem intuitive. Working on that.

I Really would like to start using this app, but the permissions seem crazy to me. Everyone's thoughts? Am I just paranoid? The developer seems very legit and know's whats up... fan of XDA too... so, probably nothing, but I am so skeptical when an app needs so much (though, given the power of the app, it sorta makes sense)

This application has access to the following:

Services that cost you money:

directly call phone numbers

Network communication:

full Internet access

Your personal information:

read sensitive log data

Storage:

modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents

System tools:

disable keylock,

retrieve running applications,

reorder running applications,

modify global system settings,

prevent device from sleeping,

display system-level alerts

Your accounts:

discover known accounts

Hardware controls:

control vibrator

Network communication:

view network state,

view Wi-Fi state

System tools:

automatically start at boot,

expand/collapse status bar,

set preferred applications,

read sync settings

NOW... with all that said, look at the beauty you can create:

hi there i have had widget locker for a long time and so far nothing bad has happen the themeing is awesome plus quick widget access it is a pretty awesome too. This is one app i would recommend to ya
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Hmm.. quick widget access?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blizzard1017:
I think you are just being paranoid. It's obviously a widely used app and as you can see a wonderful app to have.

If this was an unknown dev I would say do some research.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
Thanks for this didn't know widgetlocker had themes!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DigitalWerewolf:
yea like i have power amp so i put that widget there i also have my weather widget there also you can choose a different wallpaper aside from the one your phone has
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
I have been using it for a week or so now. I love having my fancy widget with weather on my lock screen but I get more use out of the Pandora Widget. control my music without having to unlock my phone when I pull it out of my pocket. added a slider for some things and its awesome. check out my layout i think it came out great personally.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
How do I use the theme?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
I've had it for a while but stopped using it, it would often default to system lockscreen and it runs in bg using resources, but it is pretty.PS. why are my screenies teh suck?

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ro33zy:
How do you change the slide to unlock? I have a few I have that I'd like to try
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Long press add slider in tool mode.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
It's like a whole new world.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
In tool Mode then what...I don't get it
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ferhanmm:
Cool! Thanks for posting this. I'm just not sure exactly how to use apply these themes. What exactly do we do with the .zips?

I want this one - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11817549&postcount=69
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
1. go the app menu and open widget locker (will not work from an already locked state )

2. Long press on open space

3. Select "Custom Slider"

4. click the drop down box to select a different slider from those installed or select "get themes" and download them directly.

5. customize the slider before you select "save"

EDIT: http://widgetlocker.teslacoilsw.com/themes-doc/installing-themes/ <-- how to install
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
Nvm we need 2.0 version lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Alright, downloaded it... it looks like there is a little bit of a learning curve on this app. I will try reading the guides already out there and see if I can give a readers digest version later.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MegaPrime33:
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and love it. I got it specifically for keeping the audiogalaxy app on the locker as to have quicker access to pause or stop music. I have also grown fond of the rotary lock as well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jddunkley:
I've been using Widget Locker for months and I've never had a problem. I've just discovered the theming aspect of it so I'm excited to get into that. I'm wanting to theme the rotary and the normal android tabs like the lockscreens in Bionix 1.3, hopefully it turns out well! If someone's already done this, let me know where to find it :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Here is my first attempt.....

Not perfect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DigitalWerewolf:
Nice looks awesome
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
not bad, is that the sense pull down bar? did you try putting it on the botton and the shortcuts in the middle? that looks a little strange with the shape of the bottom in the middle of the screen in my opinion.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Totally agree... I was trying to get it ALMOST to the bottom (like the 4th row, not the 5th), but it would only let me if it was in the middle, or the very bottom... but when it was on the bottom, I could not figure out how to swipe up to unlock.

Still learning.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
why swipe up to unlock? but that is an interesting idea. Of course if you could edit the image file and make it less "odd" it would look fine there I think.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aamir123:
After using this app I dumped it because it showed the default lockscreen too many times. I love the concept but that lag kills.is there any way to fix it on stock froyo? I have the 5 second bypass enabled.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Op got me using this again and it seems it has improved. Doesn't default to stock screen. One of the other reasons I stopped using was with juice defender I had mine set to only enable data on unlock which I couldn't seem to get when WL. Was on screen. Kind of defeating the purpose of having winamp or whatever as playable with no data transfer. This seems to have been corrected so. Thanks OP.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Sorry for double posting. Have you tried a long press in tool mode? It'll give you a square and arrow matrix to manipulate the size and placement of the bar.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Got it perfect ^. The issue was I needed to adjust the size of the anchor. That was not obvious to me, but it's perfect now.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Also I see you can now change the saturation of the anchor. I have mine set to none which is nice.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mossy425:
I tried out widgetlocker with some free version 1.2.6 or something. I really liked the app but it was killing my battery, I'm using bionix 1.3.1 and my battery was being reduced to roughly 12 hours per cycle, I normally get 15-18 hours for low-moderate use. Has anyone else had battery issues or was it negligible?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
Lovin it so far
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Very nice. You kept it minimal. I like that paper.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

Anyone using the newest update as of today? it supposedly has the ICS theme andi cant for the life of me get it to friggin work. i dont suppose it has to do with the rom im running? im using CM7 stable with the 99 problems kernel
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] learn2swim96:
I had constant force close issues with it right after I updated but I finally got it to work and I am loving it. Totally revamped. I did many things and not sure what actually fixed it but I wiped my dalvik, fixed permissions, uninstalled & re-installed widget locker 3 times. I'm on CM7 too but with Eugene's new kernel. I hope you can get it figured out, it's a great update.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aeok18109:
Is there a tutorial for the newest version? All the ones on youtube currently don't help me on how to actually get it to use the theme I select. I get a giant Box with time and date. Also get the stock slider underneath that. Have two volume sliders. Epic fail.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] getontarget:
I finally took a theme to mean changing the slider. So either add one or hold until its movable and click the small settings button(which should be on top right). The files should be in the proper widgetlocker folder. Click the pull down and find desired slider. Bunch in the official thread.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aeok18109:
Dude. Seriously thank you. I don't understand why my reading comprehension was failing so hard. It really was as simple as just long pressing between the sliders lol. It looks boss now. Thanks again for the help. And yes I meant theme as in sliders lol. I fail at life.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
If your on bb .54 or .55 you wanna download the second link. the link marked with baseband 49-52 would cause bootloops if you flashed it since your on bb .54.

If you dun care about flash support and other 2.2+ specific functions, I think stock SE .435 rom with JIT enabled is the way to go.

quadrant may score double with some custom roms.. but really you dun see that much of a difference in everyday use (well I dun like putting that many widgets on screen, maybe different for others)

For me, the major issue with custom roms at the moment is battery life... maybe this is one of the reason why SE kept pushing the idea that X10 performs best on 2.1 platform? i dunno..
