OK, Here is the deal.
I have created a working XdaLive Screen Lock for the XdaLive Live Wm6.
This is similar to the iphone with a working Sliding Unlocker. Only I put the sliding unlocker on the top and used XdaLive image as the Background & put the Digital Clock and Date at the Bottom as you can see in the Image I attached.
FINAL WORKING LIST:
1. Battery Life
2. NEW SMS Counter
3. Active Tasks
4. New Emails
5. OWNER NAME DISPLAY.
(TODO: A LOT OF THINGS LIKE ADDING MORE FUNCTIONALITY, FIX A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS & NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO READ REGISTRY KEYS with SPACES in BETWEEN ANY HELP? ONE THING IS TO NOT HAVE THE APPLICATION QUIT ON END BUTTON (FIXED!).)
Another thing:
----------------------
Does anyone know how to replace the default Lock with this one? I tried replacing the DeviceLock.exe with this one and it does not work. BSDeviceLock.exe does not exist in WM6 either.
WAS A LITTLE OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF JACK DANIELS. HENCE THE BLACK SLIDER
DUE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO TEST THIS, I DECIDED TO JUST PUT THE FILES IN THE OPEN AS I WORK WITH THEM. LIKE DAILY SNAPSHOP OF THE EXECUTABLES (WHENEVER I WORK ON THEM)
THIS IS A PRE-PRE BETA OPEN TEST RELEASE AND NOT PACKAGED.
UNZIP AND PUT THE FILES IN A FOLDER. THE DLL & THE EXECUTABLE HAVE TO BE IN THE SAME FOLDER
REQUIREMENT: FLASH ACTIVEX (NOT FLASH LITE)
ZIP FILE DESCRIPTIONS:
--------------------------
1. xdaLiveScreenLock.zip (XDA LIVE UNLOCKER)
2. SliderLock.zip (JACK DANIELS BLACK SLIDER)
*****MORE IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN FOR LOOKS RATHER THAN FUNCTIONALITY WHEN STARTING THIS.****
not responsible for anything that might happen by using this little useless application. There are a lot of small glitches usability wise, else works good. preference was given to aesthetics more than anything else. The size is big due to the sliding component being created in flash.
ADDED A 240X240 SLIDER. THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AS I DO NOT HAVE A 240X240 Device.
.
this looks excellent, good job! I have been wondering about that also, devicelock is signed is it not?
Anyone know of a generic wrapper with basic API calls that I can call from within this Flash Application?
edit: compiled own from source code found, change adopted and compiled.
Hi,
i don't really use the device lock... because when turning the phone in standby all key's are locked and i don't want that the screen is always on...
or is there any other significance about using the device lock??

don't really know it helps... but just test too but the string in " " like in commandline when using spaces... maybe you can just try to use double bslashes \\windows\\system32\\
this looks awesome. the people on this forum never cease to amaze me. Pure Genius
WOW the progress of this is really good sir, youve managed to implement a few more features since i last looked. This will definatly be in the Extras wiki page once it is fully working
I thought about what you could do in respect to replacing the standard lock, disable the lock in the today settings and map this program to a hardware button (5??) How does it fair after a power off (just standby not fully off) as it would be a good way to check the time etc... in the night?
keep up the good work CD, quite a few people are waiting for something like this.
Heya all gurus, give tha man a little help with issues maybe?
Thanks Ppl.
This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now but just got around to doing it. Hopefully in a couple days I will have everything squared out.
I am wondering if I should let ppl test this out. I will also have changeable backgrounds for this.

To read the registry I had to actually use \\\\ to get to different levels. But I am NOT able to read the Value Names with spaces.

Since not even Sbp Mobile Shell was able to replace the lock screen (and that while they basically have something to show then ready with their new Intro screen), I guess it could get quite complicated to replace it...
Does anyone know if the fake iPhone things that were or were not around are able to replace the lock screen? I especially remember that last one were only videos existed, it had a real good fake, but I'm not sure if the video showed it really in action as a lock screen?

I am able to Execute it on "Device Wake" via notifications (thanks KYPHUR for the suggestion.) I also actually was able to replace keylock @ Install time and an installation induced reset. The icon also shows up in the Setting folder.
I am also thinking about doing a Today Plugin. Let's see how that goes.
Looks nice..cant wait till its released..
open Pre-pre Beta Test Release On The First Post.
.
Where to download?
Yeah!!
Would love a slider unlocker as a today plugin. I use the WMP plugin since I use my phone as an mp3 player a lot so the device lock function on the today screen is a must for me.
Great work and look forward (hopefully) to a today plugin.

Could you use %20% AND %40% to represent the space and other special characters as they do on other windows products? MS has a list on its knowledge base for these...I think %20% is the space, but not sure

yes, in html and such it is, maybe you could use \%20%\ as space , but I am just a webprogrammer, and not a very good one
Looks fantastic, can't wait to see this released, should be a good little utility!

Actually, in HTTP requests it's %20 w/o the percent sign at the end, and it simply means 0x20, which is hexadecimal 20 or decimal 32, which indeed is a space. I highly doubt that it would be useful in accessing the registry, though.
I don't see why a space doesn't work as just a space when accessing the registry. Perhaps escape it with a backslash (or two)?

To change the start menu icon look here:

"Icon"="\\Storage Card\\Program Files\\Mosatsu\\Icon.png"
(or whereever your .png happens to be)
Remember to soft reset afterwords.

Thanks for the info, but, how exactly? I'm at Mosatsu.lnk and I see (Default), Group, Rank.
Where do you add that line "Icon"="\\Storage Card\\Program Files\\Mosatsu\\Icon.png" ?
Is it a Key, is it a String Value, Binary Value, DWORD? I tried with String Value, but I wasn't able to get it working.
Also, if you install it to the main memory, how do you type in the exact address? Is it just "Icon"="\\icon.png or do you have to add "Icon"="My Device\\icon.png"?
Great apps

Hello world. Quick question on the systemui.apk....I noticed my sprint cdma has a ton of unused png files in there for Verizon and stuff. I'm assuming its safe to remove those? Seems cheap to just dump extra crap on phones that hit multiple carriers but I'm sure it makes sense from their angle. I'm away from the house and need my phone up so I can't just nand and test just yet. Any input?
I've done a few quick "first attempt png mods" in there but I wanted to ask before I gut all the extras and do my full theme now that i'm comfortable. I'll share the quick icon replacements i've done for now in a link below (spent maybe 15m on em today so pardon minor imperfections).
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/mail.jpg?w=da362127
^Link is fail...i'll repost somewhere else when i get home. (15SEPT 0758 hrs EST)
-Icons for alarm, wifi, virbate mode and headphones shown (and invis gps off)
Also...anyone have a guide for how to remove item containers for stat bar icons? As you can see (via the gap) i've inserted a blank icon for gps off and sadly two or three icons show to the left of it (one being the headphone icon, the other being account sync...and i think one more).
Thanks all. As i make better png's i'll try and host / share them!

Alright, so first question, is it OK to remove the unused pngs.
Yes. Kinda.
If you remove them without editing the associated xml you will get compile errors. So in theory you could just extract the apk and remove them. Or, decompile and edit the xmls as well as remove the pngs.
As far as removing the gps off icon from being displayed, it's in an xml. Don't know of a tutorial for it, just do some file surfing
I just started theming myself, it's pretty rewarding making your phone look like you want it to, huh?

To reply to the OP, without quoting that bigassed thing: there aren't enough of the "other carrier" pngs to make a difference, so just leave them, IMHO. They're not gonna hinder performance or space issues really.

Thanks for the input guys. It is very rewarding to have your phone display things you create and want to see! Honestly once you get past the ramp up time to figure out what to do and how to do it...it can be done very quickly (at least individual changes that is). My biggest problem is trying to think of what I want to do for my daily driver. Its cool enough being able to place your custom images but I dont want it to be a hodge-podge of individual "cool things" but rather look as if they were all selected intentionally. Maybe I'm to anal ... which leads me to the next post:
Yeah I guess there arent TOO many other carrier icons on there..and they're small enough to be negligable....but I'm anal lol.
Off to find the XML edits for the many things we discussed here today.
I'm using SuperSU but I love the icon for superuser , (its the superman s under the andr) with my theme.
(Q) Is there anyway to extract that icon and attach to SuperSU? Its much cooler than #.
Let's skip the chick flick moment..
Use root explorer to extract the two .apk's from "data/app" and upload them here. I should be able to change the icon for you.
Thanks so much....I went in and extracted .apk and started looking through folders. As I was going through I think I recognize how to change the icon. The only problem now is, the one I am looking for is in my theme .apk and there are a lot of .png files. Just to make sure, when I find it, move and replace the icon.png in the other .apk, fix files etc and reboot...
Let's skip the chick flick moment..
Right now I'm not at a computer to provide/explain everything in detail, however, I can tell you it's slightly more involved then it may seem at first. You actually need several PC programs to do it. If you really want to do it yourself, I'd be glad to type you up a mini guide if that's the path you want to take. I'll give you the choice, kinda like the Matrix (which I finally watched yesterday ) and offer you option of the 'blue pill' or the 'red pill'...
Blue pill- This is simple, upload the two .apk's and I'll get it done for you in a jiffy. You install it and everything goes as it was.
Red pill- If you take this path I will type up a mini guide and help you with any difficulty you have. You walk away with both knowledge and a nice icon.
...Lol. The choice is yours. Which pill will it be?

Hey anyone out there good at themeing some things, got any ideas on what i (a TOTAL 100% Noob) would have to do to edit some of the things in sense 5? possibly create a theme?
I dont need like a super long drawn out tutorial on EVERYTHING id have to do, unless youd be so kind as to provide one.
Just general bits and pieces and ill put together something from a collab of information given here ive been thinking about making a theme for a while but TOTALLY lack the skills lol
any information you can give as to what might work, what worked in sense 4.5, and what will very likely work in sense 5.0 id love to hear it. Even if its just somethin small my ears and eyes are WIDE open.
Ok so luckily for you skins have been removed in Sense 5, so the theming process is a bit easier (no need to extract m10 files and such). Basically though, you'd take the apk you want to edit, and decompile (extract) it. This can be done using apktool. To get that working, use these tools and this guide. Once your done editing your apk file, recompile (compress) it using "apktool b decompiled_folder_name" (or by reading the guide). Once it has successfully been compiled, sign it with this (copy the PPC Geeks folder to the /Program Files directory on your c: drive, and create a shortcut of the .exe file on your desktop) or you can alternitavely use this tool, which includes an option to zipalign (optimize?) the apk as well as sign it. However, if you use the latter, make sure to sign with test, not private keys.
Also I should mention that the majority of the images you will be editing within the apks are located in /res/drawable-xxhdpi, and the color of most of the text in the apk will probably be located in either /res/values/colors.xml, or /res/values/styles.xml. You may stumble upon a few ".9" images, which are special images that will only stretch along the places that are overlapped by the 1px tall border surrounding them. I recommend using this program to create your own .9 images, or you can edit pre-existing .9s in an image editor progam like photoshop or gimp, just make sure that you do not touch the black 1px border (9patch).
That's all! Good luck, have fun, and you're welcome

guys if i wasnt outta thanks today id throw you both one (EDIT: Aparantly xda thinks that the middle of the day is the time for renewing thanks -_-) thanks a bunch. Not too sure how to edit XML files now, all im trying to do at the moment is make blinkfeed's background transparent, however i am lost as to how to even read XML files at the moment, dont have a program on my computer that displays it correctly.. I found how to do the new weatherclock, and steal25 is working on the App drawer, and Sysui pull down.
Well theres vts(can decompile and recompile)and has a notepad++ type thing built in and notepad++ is a must for any themer to read xmls, smali (but need apktool, or something like it to decompile and recompile)

Keep in mind that when you're editing colors, the first two digits in the hex code control transparency...also don't be surprised if edits need to be made in multiple places...sometimes both an image and a color need to be set to transparent

Oh man, if i started off thinking it was going to be easy for me, i would think you guys have it easy, and i dont. I knew this would be a difficult task when i jumped ship on this transparency thing and hope i can get it out soon because sense 5.0 is amazing as it is now, and i wanna add that touch of beauty its missing.
Feel free though guys, if anyone wants to get this going without me go for it. Ill be on it for like 3-4 days (possibly straight) figuring this stuff out before i have a even possibly close version of this looking right is my guess.
