Im creating my own rom for the htc flyer and i've removed some apps that had icons on the main homescreen and lock screen, now when I install my rom they are blank spaces.
my question is how do i change the layout of the icons and widgets/lockscreen for people installing my ROM?

If it has any version of sense 3.0 or better you can't. The tools have not been updated yet due to HTC changing the coding
It's not.. 3.0 how do I edit it?

What you need to do is probably different based on what launcher your using. You may want to check out this thread. Somebody lists an XML file that you can edit for Sense and Android Launcher, and I just posted a method to restore ADW.Launcher's icons, widgets, and settings.
I'm not really sure where do go for lockscreen mods, as I have not made any myself yet.

As long as apktool works for the apk in question this should would. I don't really mess with sense, touchwiz, or blur so i have no real idea. By using my knowledge of AOSP then you should open the launcher in question. navigate to
res/xml/
there should be workspace.xml files that you can edit. Then you have to repackage the apk with apktool.
If you have the apk handy as well as the framework-res and com.htc.resources.apk and send them to me I can take a look as well

For the lockscreen you will need m10 tools to decompile the HTC m10 files and edit the layout in Idle lockscreen base apk and fusion apk. Editing HTC Apks are not like editing any other type of apk as it uses the m10 encoded files. Its alot more difficult then normal apks as they dont use the same folder set up

This is a Metamorph for a transparent lockscreen that was made by request for a friend. This is intended for a deodexed stock mytouch4G ROM (2.2/2.2.1). This will modify com.htc.resources.apk. Most likely this will crash your system when applied. If not, reboot to see changes. Ive been seeing an error when using metamorph to extract, it does not seem to find the theme file. All files extract and you will be able to apply by selecting "Pick existing theme".
*NOTE* This works when applied using the safari theme (thanks for the feedback). I'll look into modifying other themes... eventually. Requests will be considered.

Hmm I'm using your rom and it worked fine for me.. I extracted it on the computer, put it on my SD in the androidthemes folder, and then went to pick existing theme, apply all.
Has anyone been able to get rid of the lockscreen wallpaper? To show the homescreen? I've tried old methods, but they don't seem to work in sense 2.2 stock or modded roms for the n1

Same here. Running Ice but can't get it to stick. Good idea tho. I like it.

If you remove the htclockscreen.apk and .odex from your /system you'll get a transparent lockscreen... Albiet with the stock froyo lock but I prefer it anyway

So after trying this, the text on the lock screen doesn't line up correctly. All 3 lines of text, the date, the time & T-mobile all overlap. Is this supposed to be used with any of the lock screen themes or a specific one? Anything else need to be changed to get it to align correctly?

So this is just a transparent slider for the lockscreen?
I'm assuming theres no way to make a fully or semi-transparent wallpaper?
I know most icons are png's, which support transparency, but I'm not sure (and highly doubt) if a transparent png file would retain transparency after being set to be the wallpaper? If I had to guess I would think the file is converted in some way before it is actually applied...
I wonder if there is a way to bypass this and allow for transparencies in the wallpaper?
Though this works, it doesn't look so good since its transparent and the text overlays whatever is on the first screen. It would be nice if the lockscreen background could be honored by the stock froyo lock. Or at the very least, a solid color or black background.

Transparent images won't set correctly, from what I've read about other sense ROMs, you'd have to hexedit the file, changing the color to transparent... don't know if it would even work. There are lockscreen replacements, like lock bot, possibly some others. Wish there where better options... the ROM in general lacks the basics for most things I want to do... which is why I currently run the desire HD port by gr8gorilla. The ROM has been ported to a lot of phones, so there is quite a bit of mods and themes available.
I'm curious what features. Are you referring to stock? Does the desire port have working drivers for everything? I thought FFC (camera) was a problem as well as video playback. Iced is what I'm currently using and its rock solid and can overclock.

I'm running Liquid Thunderbread v2.6 right now and using the its lockscreen.
I want to put an image of someone as my wallpaper at the lockscreen but the big digital clock and date covers most of the face.
Does anyone know if a method or a an existing flash file I can use to get rid of that?
I did a bunch of research and tried to edit the xml file myself, but I have no clue how to decompile and recompile back into the framework.
just switch your lockscreen to wallpaper rather than clock lol if you really need to decompile though i use apk manager. not sure which apk contains that file but if you can find it apk manager can decompile and recompile it

Assuming you don't want to deal with all that trouble, cyanogemod and probably some other ASOP roms allow you to change the lock screen wallpaper without hacking the compiled apk files.

I guess if you really want, it's an AOSP rom so I would grab the source if he contributed back his changes to it (or ask him). Then grep through the source and find where the clock is and mod the source and recompile. If that's too much, find someone with the time willing to do it
If he wont give the source, as mentioned, hack the apk or switch to an AOSP rom that doesnt hide their sources like OMFGB or CM7.

I read somewhere about what file the code is in.
All I needed was a way to decompile it and recompile it.

Yesterday I tried to do some mods with rosie, I tried to make rosie working in landscape or make 5x4 app drawer. I use apktool to decompile the apk files, after that I compile, sign and put it onto my HTC wildfire s. After I start the device everything went well, bootscreen, sim unlock and so on. But the homescreen is allways black
Any idea how to solve this problem?

Hey, I want to port the AOSP 4.1 lockscreen to stock motoblur 4.1 for the DROID RAZR.
I want to know where is the lockscreen located.
What I know is that a part resides in the Framework-res.apk, but is it just there? Or is it splattered in other places of the framework?
Also, I want to know what parts inside of Framework-res.apk are the one that compose the lockscreen please.
Thanks in advance.
You can change that with the app called nova in Google play store

Decompile you're framework, go to the res folder and search for lockscreen, that should find any and all files you're looking for.
Here are a few lock screen mods I've been playing around with that I thought I would share.
Standard disclaimer applies: (I am in no way responsible for anything that may happen to your phone, use at your own risk, etc.).
Use your favorite file explore to move to system/ app/ set permissions and reboot.
Thanks to:
Ghost for encouraging me to post
Schumi 01 for requesting this in the first place
The VTS team
Turge (because I thought the arced icons looked great in his ROM)
il Duce from the Sprint forums
and anyone who gives this a try
Rename the app to just IdleScreen_base.apk if using the arced version.
Another great Mod! Arc looks great! Thanks!

Hi there, just a simple request please. fnut kindly provided me with his Rosie apk including settings menu options, landscape Rosie and no app labels. It worked perfectly on my device, however it wiped my other Rosie mods.. transparent nav bar and 5 x 6 app drawer.
For some reason all the landscape Rosie mods lag a lot on my device and I'm not to fussed about having it.
Really all I'm after is the no label Rosie, I tried replacing the Rosie_shortcut.m10 file from fnut into my own Rosie but it crashes it on boot up with a 'HTC dialer has stopped working' error.
Any ideas what's up? I can attach my Rosie apk if you need it.
Thanks again for the lock screen mod.

Putting the app in system/ app setting permissions and rebooting should be sufficient, did you check settings/ personalize and make sure that Lock screen shortcuts is selected?
