If anyone is interested these MIUI lockscreens are qHD, which is what our screens are. They work perfectly.

Thanks. I can tell you from personal experience that if you set one that isn't qhd, you might get locked out of your phone!

Thanks! Haha. No more of my mini hard attacks when I think I'm locked out of my phone.

I know the being locked out panic feeling,not fun! I used to have a Samsung Captivate with MIUI and loved all the themes/lockscreens. I was disappointed when the lockscreens didn't fit right on the Atrix, so I went on a hunt and found that the evo 3d and some others also have qHD screens.

Not working for me
Am I doing something wrong? I can't get any themes I download for miui to appear in my local themes window. I can download them online and they (mostly) work (with the exception of the ones where the lockscreen is offcenter, that makes sense now). But if I download them elsewhere and move them into my /sdcard/miui/theme folder they don't appear, even if I click import theme and go select them.
I figured I was downloading incompatible themes but with the list of qHD ones that can't be it. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
If it is just a lockscreen , you have to go to themes then click customize at the bottom, then hit lockscreen. Sometimes what you download might not be a complete theme so it's not going to show in themes, but will in the customize menu.
thank you!
For those who dont know, you can unlock manually any miui lockscreen pressing back+volumeup.
It supposed to be at the same time, but I have better luck keeping back pressed, and then pressing volume up.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you but I enjoy the functionality of MySense in certain respects. My dislikes are not enough to get me to jump to an alternative launcher but they are enough to make me want changes.
In my eyes.... two things will make Espresso aesthetically pleasing and more functional. The first being redirecting/replacing the My Faves with Browser or messenger. And the second... changing the drawer icon to the FROYO blocks icon.
Now, I don't have a full grasp on what would be involved in doing so, but common sense or my lack of understanding perhaps tell me those 2 icons and the 1 remapping can't be too involved. To anyone out there ready and willing to take this on... I will volunteer to be the guinea pig for testing. Me and Nandroid are best friends.
Looking forward to it.

Lol, not forgotten... that is still on my list in the quest of a perfect MT4G. I am going to make that one my personal project. I figured it is in my best interest to enlist some "qualified" help for the Espresso Project.
lol the things you mentioned above are my exact problems with the stock launcher as well everything else i like as of lately ive jus been using a combination of iced glacier and ADW to get sumthing almost similar to wat you discribed but in all i would love to see an actual rom that benifits both i too will be a tester for anyone who decides to take on this project and good luck

ADW is a nice launcher. I just hate losing the MySense features by doing so....

i agree ADW doesnt have any real widgets so it does put u at a loss. if sumone could successfully merge the two launchers and have the benifits of both we would have a fricken great rom for this phone. i tried to flash the apks from the glacier rom onto the ADW launcher but it freezes the homescreen i cant get the widgets to successfully adapt to the ADW protocols which puts me back to sqaure one lol
what is root?
I turned my phone on and now the screen glows???? wtf your rom borkded it.... can I abd push ota or does the motherboard need fixing???? thanx in advance

Motherboard for sure... I will PM you my address. Sent me your phone and I will fix it when I get a chance.
-iced glacier,
-adw
-pure calendar widget
-stock twitter app & widget
-simiclock (has weather now)
-quick settings for the best customizable power and brightness controls and can be launched from tapping simiclock when set up that way, also can be added to status bar
-circle battery (just looks cool and clean)
All of this together makes me very pleased with this phone. I have test out sooooo many different apps for these functions and various roms on other phones.. just my taste and opinion.. but give them a try if you havent.
Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a method to change the icon set in Touchwiz 4.0 (yes im rooted) to something else other then what they have as stock.
And furthermore, ARE there any icon sets out there? I saw a couple of cool looking screens in the post your screenshot thread, but i'm not sure if that was because they were using some different launcher.
Thanks,
diabolical
I am also interested in this. I really like touch wiz ui and all the features but i strongly dislike the childlike icons. Is there anyway we can change the icons without changing launchers?
I was wondering if we can have the
HTC Sensation XE Lock screen (with the circle to launch)
on the Samsung Galaxy S ll
The HTC lockscreen is cool. Just get the app Agilelock. It duplicates it perfectly. Only issue i found is right when you install, it pops up a message that you cant read, unless you can read some form of chinese. Hit the right button. The left button will download something.

They probably used a theme (with a custom launcher). I think launcher themes change entire icon sets. Other than that, idk.

Hello, I'm using Photon 4G with CM7.2, but I don't like the lockscreen in it, and other lockscreens too (Go locker etc.), most of all I loved the stock moto lockscreen. Is it possible to revert to it? Thanks
I'd recommend giving Milocker a try. It basically ports all off MIUI's lock screens to any other phone, and I've seen home created Blur lock screens in there that look pretty damn good.

Widget locker is an app for that I used to use and it let me create one just like moto and then add other things I wanted

CM comes with a couple different lock screen options included. Have you changed them in menu>settings>cyanogenmod settings> somewhere in one of the options (sorry, don't run CM so I don't know the exact path )?
Id check out the ones that are already integrated into the rom before installing a 3rd party lockscreen. The installable options aren't terrible but I've experienced consistency issues while testing and some don't play well with security set on the phone.
Regarding if moto lock screen can run on that rom in short, no. The lock screen isn't just an apk that can be pushed, and if it were I could guarantee there would be a dependency on the framework. That's how HTC used to keep people from jacking their lock screen back in the day. Now its all integrated tightly into the framework (or was it systemui now?) so you could design a theme for your lock screen that's moto inspired if you felt like playing with some apks and pngs. The Motorola lock screen isn't a far departure from being a themed stock lock so really there would be no smali work involved. Plug and play images, flash, change some more, flash .... repeat until happy.
I think youll be extremely happy with Widget Locker and CM7 together. Thats the combo i ran on my Evo before i got my Mopho. You can turn off the lock screen in CM7,and just run WL. Seamless!

This is a awesome launcher and has one of the best looking weather widgets I've seen. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557091
Worth looking into. What version did you download?
Either of the ones that say qHD works. I tried both and they are exactly the same.
I just loaded this on my MO PHO & am quite impressed w/the smoothness of the scrolling on the desktop. I would like a vertical scrolling app drawer, but, this will be a non-issue once I get the desktop all set up.
Great find! This works great! Very nice.

I modified the app drawer icon for mine to the xperia icon from the AnaKonda rom on the epic 4g touch. Ill upload it in case any one wants to use it. This one just move it to system/apps and set permissions then reboot.
Last picture didn't work.
It looks nice, but browsing the instructions I see a reference to ClockworkMod Recovery. It doesn't seem to apply to me since the instructions say, for the condition that applies to me, to skip that step. I'm not rooted and I don't have CWM, straight stock 2.3.5 Electrify. Can I use this? I'm quite happy with GO Launcher EX, but I like to try new things. I even tried ssLauncher (for about 10 seconds, haha -- not my thing but I did give it a shot).
Just extract it on your desktop,or with a file manager on your device.Install them like you would any other normal apk. I like the folders,they're like the ones in GO,and the transition from drawer to home,and vise versa is super smooth.no custom icons,or any of the other features youre accustomed to in GO though.

From any homescreen: Menu, Settings, Applications, then tick "Unknown sources". If it's ticked, I don't know what to tell ya. It worked fine for me.
This launcher is a bit light on features. You can set the number of home screens, but that's about it. Dragging icons has kind of a neat effect like the icon is wobbly, and the trashcan animation when you delete something is similarly nice, but this launcher is basically crap. It's like a stock launcher. Which I suppose it is/that's the point, but it's still worth noting.
Oh, and it has app drawer sorting, which I haven't seen before, but everything other than alphabetical is random and doesn't do what it says.
And the widgets cannot seem to be used with other launchers. So there is that. Shame about that, widgets tied to a specific launcher. Sense does this as well. Is there really no fix for it? To be able to use widgets tied to one launcher, in any launcher?
I'm terribly sorry to be of bother to anyone and I'm sorry if this has been answered before.
Back on GingerBread all I had to do was hold down the home screen and a menu would pop up that allowed me to create widgets. ICS no longer has that feature.
If you go into the apps menu up at the top there is a tab for widgets, but none of them are the ones I want.
I need two widgets, one that toggles on and off airplane mode and one that toggles on and off GPS settings. I found with GingerBread that only having GPS settings on when I needed them doubled my battery life, so I want to do that with ICS, too.
Nevermind, I figured it out.
If you download new widgets they might not show up on the list until you reboot.

Is it possible to change the size of the widgets? I'm using the newest EU ICS Leak. Couldn't find anything about it.

You can also kill the 'Home' process from the running tasks. There were other two ways in which I got this to work but I forgot.

Not all widgets are resizable. If it is however resizable, long-press on a widget that's already on the home screen and the sides will receive a resize decoration that you can drag.
