Hi, only 1 question... where can i find the lockscreen files, and i can change the slider without cause any problem?
I wanna make a small change of the slider image file. It is in png or bmp, i think, and i just make my own with photoshop. Thats all, i dont wanna change the layout, the style, just this....

Why mess around in the scripts? download an app called Widget Locker, it can let you customize the lock screen completely. You can even add widgets to it. not complicated at all.
In root/system/framework/framework-res.apk(its just a renamed zip file) copy that and paste it somewher on sdcard with some root directory file manager. Then reboot, because copying the framework apk for some reason makes everything fc. Then get that copy onto computer via usb, and change the .apk to .zip and extract it all. There will be a 'res' folder, in which there is 'drawable-hdpi' go through that folder for things with 'jog' in the name. Those are the lockscreen slider pngs. But you'll have to learn how to properly repack an apk, which I'd love to learn but its not all that possible on my phone, and my comp doesnt work atm.

No offense but you are wrong. You go to add a slider, then when youre in the window you can tap in the middle of a froyo slider(chosen by default) to add a tap shotcut, or you can slide either slider to choose what it does.

Guys,
This new transparency effect on Wildpuzzle made by JoeyDelp is amazing
But, when I try change the background image on lockscreen the image keep solid, it loose the transparency effect. And, I don't know how to change the background image in the notification area.
Somebody knows how to change this images but keep the transparency effect?
I whant know this to apply the effect glass rain, like this: http://www.desktopedia.com/bulkupload/Windows/part2/Rain Drops on Glass.jpg
I think will be nice!
For the lock screen, change the img to png, edit the opacity with photoshop or gimp. Save as png and rename to jpg.
Notification background is status_bar_background, edit the opacity with photoshop/gimp.

Alright!!! Thanks Kevin I'll try it at home ^^ and reply here.
Don't work =(
I tried several times and... nothing!
Open on image on gimp, add alpha layer, set opacity, save as .png and change to .jpg... and... nothing =/
Can you send me anyone img with this effect?
ya. really doesnt work.. dunno how he do it..
Ok, i'll try to explain:
1. go to this site http://pixlr.com/editor/
2. Open your image in there.
3. on the right side there's a opacity slider, change that to the transperant effect you want.
4. Save it as a .png it anywhere.
5. Rename the image to htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg
6. download the 0301 package from the Wildpuzzle topic.
7. open it with winrar, and insert in in there in the folder System/customize/resource/
There's a image called htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg replace it with yours, ( just drag it into that folder.
8. Close the WINrar archieve,
9. Copy it to your SD card.
10. Flash it on your phone!
11. Congrats you've got a new transperant lockscreen!
This worked for me, if it doesn't work for you i'll try it myself if you send the picture, I'm only getting a you may not hotlink image.

That just doesn't work.

Nice, I think it will work :]
Had generated the image, changed to jpg. Was transparent in the pc (did with gimp) but when I opened the phone called the opacity. Even with the original image (htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen.jpg) the effect was lost opaque. So it's like I imagined, need to run a pack to let the transparent effect. Thanks, I'll try this at home

On right side there's a box with title "Layer", has opacity 100, click on 100 and choose
if you can not change the value of 100, there is a padlock icon just below the 100, take two clicks on it.

Hey Marc., Do not work = /
I guess it did not work because you entered the pack (the 301) is to clear the notification area and not change the lock screen.
But I got the rom 00001_0.8v and changed the picture for me. And it worked =]
So, I think just having the pack change lockscreen.
Anyway, it worked = D and thanks for the app http://pixlr.com/editor/

Hi karthikk5955,
What format is the image in? jpg or png?
The more common file formats that support transparency include GIF, PNG and TIFF, of the 3 mention you wanna use .png
So you you can go to pixlr
Edit the image transparency,
Click File, Save and on the save screen you'll find a "Format" drop box, make sure you change that to PNG before saving.
Enjoy

yes its one of the first things i did. they are in the framwork-res.apk and phone.apk

i dont have time for a full how to but you have to pull the framwork-res.apk from the rom or theme and unzip it. (i use 7-zp ) and look through the drawable folders you see. you will have to find and edit the icons you want. then its easier for me to just open the rom/theme with out unzipping and droping the edited folder in its correct place.
Iriscience said:
Just open pack's battery mod in 7zip and go to /framework/ then double click the framework-res.apk. Then click through /res/drawrable-hdpi-v4/ . This will bring you to a bunch of pngs. Extract them all. These are all the files you need to theme your phone. You can go through and edit each one, then drag and drop them back onto the 7zip window showing all the pngs. Then just close it out. It'll ask if you want to update the original archive. Say "Yes", and then just flash like normal. There are a couple of things to remember. All image sizes have to be the same. If the status bar background is 480x86 then that's the size it has to be. Also remember to keep the file names the same. Don't change any of the xml files. And always do a Nandroid before flashing. I've done this before to change my status bar and notification drawer background. But you can never be too careful. Hope this helps!

the drawable folders will be named different but it give you a idea of what to look for.
Which xml's must I edit and what code should I look for in order to change the dock background color? I tried reading the tuts on xda but they are somewhat unclear and mostly talk about the progress bar (bar attached to pulldown menu). Can someone help me? Once I figure out which files to change I believe I will be good!
Am I in the wrong section?
kinda need to know what launcher you are using... if you use launcherpro, just edit the .png to your liking, and assign dock background under custom in launcherpro settings...
if your on a rom without a market launcher you can use ninja morph. go to system/app/twframework once it opens it up go to res/drawable hdpi (V4) if you have that. then look for the files you want to change. long press the file and hit edit you can adjust the color and the transparencey. it will not save until you push menu/save image then go back to the main screen hit finish/twframework*******very important******** hit overwrite/ no to zipalign/ no to clean up. then reboot and your done.
with ninja morph you can change icon and icon colors along with transparency. congtratulations.
******BY THE WAY IF I DID NOT MENTION******** NANDROID BACK UP *********************************************************
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR STUFF BACKED UP YOU CAN EDIT AND CHANGE WHATEVER.
If you have a third party launcher the process is still the same. except the files are in data/app/ (whatever launcher your using) once you complete the work you finish project/no to overwrite
download signapktic fro, the market find the file in adroidthemes/workspace and select platform/ then sign it.
uninstall the original launcher and go to your files and install you work. i have done this with launcher pro and altered it to my liking because of the icons and docks.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!

It there s clear lock screen slider of there for the X2. I love that look and miss it from my X.
If not how would one go about making it clear? Don't mind learning how to do so my self.
Never owned an X.. I need a screenshot to either A) tell you if its possible and/or B) tellyou how to make one.
There are hundreds of options including clear sliders for widgetlocker.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I am envisioning a "floating button" that will move across the screen with no background thats visible.
Well I don't have a X anymore to take a screenshot. So ill try to explain it the best way possible.
After pressing the lock button to wake your device at the bottom are the sliders to unlock and turn sounds off. When I say clear lockscreen sliders Im talking about those being there and functional but being completely invisible. It gives the phone a much nicer and cleaner look without loosing those function. Once you get used to it its very nice. I have a X2 now but had it on my X and old Droid. People made it as an zip that you could flash or incorperated it in there rom or theme.
Its quite nice. Hope that helps.
Those are 9png files. If you dont know anything about decompiling, recompiling, etc.. then you don't care so this will make your process easy. Normally, you wouldnt break a 9png files guides but since you wont be able to tell in this case, it wont really matter. Use 7zip or something and go into your ROMS system/framework folder.. find framework-res.apk. double click on it and go into the res/drawable-hdpi folder. Drag out all the jog-tab-xxx.9.png file to your desktop or into a folder. Don't worry, draggin them out will not remove them from the framework. Now, find the ones you want and use Gimp or paint.net to make the images fully transparent. (color to alpha). Use 7zip to stick them back into the same folder you took them out of. DO NOT.. unzip your ROM. install the ROM again without wiping data. good to go.
My motto has always been.. if you cant remove it, make it invisible!
Is it possible to use root explorer and do this using phone? Or must it be done via PC?
i think you are going to want to do that one on the pc.
Observations:
I was skeptical at first because there are no QHD resolutions listed in UOT kitchen, but figured if I supplied the files, then it would maintain the resolutions in the files.
Must have all three files to upload for it to compile correctly...
1. SystemUI.apk
2. Framework-res.apk
3. com.htc.resources.apk
I've changed the battery indicatior, added statusbar icons successfully, and change the background to more transparent on the Notifications/Quick Setting pull-down. I've also successfully changed the lockscreen icons.
I'm having difficulties making the statusbar more transparent, however. They have a setting on the Status Bar tab, but it seems to have no effect.
I did try to manually adjust the transparency on status_bar_background.png in Framework-res.apk, but it didn't seem to do the trick. Is there another file that is used based on the Sense base?
Nope. Those are the files needed, one bit of advice though--triple check the operational file it uses.
I.E. For boot animation, use the CM file directory, not the suggested data/local. It may be something in the framework.res file that needs to be changed. UOT works for EVERYTHING, provided you make sure the operational file is correct upon submission.

Hmmm Sense(or any ginger for the matter) responds to the status bar B/G used in SystemUI.apk(drawable HDPI). And the images used on all the qHD phones from HTC use the same size for .pngs as their WVGA counterparts(some things are bigger, but not many), scaling seems pretty good AFAIK.

Thanks!
Trust me, it works. I cannot remember off the top of my head (bit drunk) but UOT works on just about everything. You need to double check where each enabled visual/operational is WITHIN your choice of rom. Then, you can triple check UOT's placement of the modified file.
I'm trying to remove the clock, but I couldn't find where that was located anywhere in there. Anyone have any pointers?
I'm a kitchen noob so I just made a simple battery change that I'm going to put on when it's done cooking.

Let me look into it when I get home...I might be able (time willing) download your current rom and cook it--or at least find where to zap the clock so you can do it to your liking.
My battery cooking turned out to cause a boot loop so no-go on that. I appreciate any help you can offer and let me know if there's anything I can do to make things easier.

The clock is in the service.jar.. The kitchen won't work for that mod.
okay, I think I'm starting to get more comfortable with this kitchen.
I've got transparent status bar, and modified status bar icons.
Now, I'm looking for some help with another graphic. I unlock my phone for use with a pin. I see lockscreen in UOT only seems to modify the icons and gesture styles.
Where can I look to change the color of the numeric pin keys?

It is imperative that you open your rom .zip and extract:
com.htc.resources.apk
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
All are found within your particular rom package. Upload via UOT's upload page. That is how their kitchen knows what to change and give you an individualized .zip to flash. If you want an in-depth explanation, PM me and I would be happy to go through the whole process step-by-step. Once you get the gist, it is easy as pie.
As for the clock, yea...it is under services.jar and UOT does not change that. There can be another way to delete it, if I have time today I will try to make a flashable .zip for just the clock delete--unless someone beats me to it.
Yeah, I went through the UOT guide and video tutorial before I started working with UOT (I really do RTFM) and it still crashed out on me. I'll give it another shot when I have time available and I can get in.
As for the flashable zip, I'd love you long-time.

I've seen some code about it, but didn't know if it's exclusive to the device type, or if it's the same basic thing for gingerbread so I never jumped. I'll see if I can mess with it later this week.

As long as you pull the services.jar file out of the Rom you want to flash to, you are fine.
