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.
EDIT: Sent .zip to sdcard. Let Metamorph unzip. Still FC's my messengers while applying then nothing.
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.

hi there!
sorry if this was discussed before, don't find something...
I made a transparent notification bar with UOT.
so, when I turn my phone on lockscreen, its transparent, unlocked its not transparent. when I open a app, its transparent too.
so I think, launcher pro have on the homescreen a "own" notification bar. on lockscreen and on apps it takes the sense bar.
I tried go launcher, same there.
any ideas?
running high rom 3D, 2.3.4, HTC evo 3D.

Its not the launcher that supports transparency. Its your rom. U gotta decompile, recompile your systemui after you've edited the smali inside.

No, he means he has a transparent themed rom already but Launcher Pro makes the status bar solid.(Transparency works fine in other launchers)
I have the same problem, it's a known issue in LP. I was looking for some info on it when I came across this thread.
So far, the live wallpaper fix mentioned above is all I can find as far as a workaround, but there's got to be some kind of fix other than that,right?

Just made transparent on cm9 ICS, still black notification bar.
Kinda crap,. maybe I go use Nova Launcher
After trying so many apps I found those apps which are best replacement for Samsung Galaxy Y built-in boring lockscreen.
The main thing is that some of them on Google PlayStore says that it is not supported by Galaxy Y, but I don't know why!
For example "Go Locker", Android Google PlayStore says it is not compatible, but I have tried it and works great.
I have also tried "MiLocker", its themes are not supported by our resolution.
Though you can use it by LDPI themes.
Now my question is if the "MiLocker" says supported why not "Go Locker"!
Anyway, the lockscreens those are working with Galaxy Y are as follows:
1. WidgetLocker Lockscreen (Recommended) (Paid)
2. GO Locker (Free)
3. Holo Locker (Free)
4. MagicLocker Main (Free)
5. MiLocker (For LDPI themes visit here.) (Free)
If you find your stock ROM lockscreen appearing/interfering your lockscreen apps then install "No Lock" app from Google PlayStore via following link.
No Lock Google PlayStore Link.
From this little app you can Disable Stock ROM LockScreen.
That is all I could find. If you think I missed something, feel free to comment here!

You can always Enable Notification bar by Uncheck (Disable) these:
"Disable Notification bar" option in "Buttons & Inputs" setting and "Hide Notification Bar" option in "Look & Feel" Setting.

If you are want to be secured then use built in pattern lock.
Or If you want to control your fav apps like music player, facebook, weather etc from lockscreen then use Widgetlocker or you can customize as you wish. A nice Clock and weather widget on lockscreen looks great if you ask me.
Or If you want to be Secured and as well as want a lockscreen as per your customized way then use Widgetlocker and Pattern Lock both! as they could be used at a same time..
Hope this post help you guys.

You can use MiLocker.
I think it is most lightweight than others, I never compare the RAM usages though!
But you must install LDPI themes (which are small in number but various in design) for that. Take a look at my first post for link.

widget locker's notification is based on ADWNotifier so you have to install that before you could have notifications on your widget locker... with the popup on the default stock messaging app, it does not support popup

is it possible to lock the statusbar when the screen is locked? it's driving me nuts, as it makes my phone unlock by itself when I keep it in my pocket. the only workaround I've got so far is to enable pattern unlock, but I'd like to have the slide unlock fixed.

Don't think it's possible cause as far as I know you have to edit an apk to get it working...

Give Holo Locker a try. You can disable the status bar or even remove it from the lock screen.
Is it only in ICS? Because in my gb it seems like status bar is locked in slide screen also.

Am I the only one who thinks Google messed up many android features in 4.2?
1) Notification power widgets . now you need a 2nd panel for that.
2) AOKP allows revert to old style power widgets, but they are laid out poorly and less elegant compared to <4.2
3) Lockscreen widgets. Can someone PLEASE explain how this is faster/,more efficient than simply setting a lockscreen target? For example, soundhound ID now can be a lockscreen target. If you set it as a lockscreen widget, it takes more swipes/effort to get to.
.if you agre e or have any helpful workarounds for googles ridiculous decisions, I'd love to hear. Much thanks, all.

I 100% agree.
The lock screen widgets, very sadly, remind me of windows 8. There is no need to have x amount of lock screens. Press the power button and move the lock ring to what ever app you wanna open.
Aren't the notification toggles CM based tho?

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but if using cm10.1 you can enable the old style toggles in settings/system/notification drawer, check power widget and configure. You can also disable lockscreen widgets using an app from the Playstore named lockscreen policy. That pretty much solves your issues. Also, as mentioned those toggles were from cm not Google. 4.2+ are the first builds to have toggles.

At first I preferred 4.1.2 but after using 4.2.2 for awhile I really like it. I ignore the lockscreen widgets and with the toggles set to pull down from either right or left on the status bar it works really well.
I figured I had to adapt to stay current and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. :victory:

i just use CMs notification widgets its the same as the old one and i make sure the other ones dont pop up. as for lockscreen widgets. i dont use them much but i do like widgetlocker. that thing has so many different addons for notifications its pretty badass. better than the old one of just clock and weather and calendar. i dont use much of the other widgets for anything else though. you can set the lockscreen to always have targets as the primary when waking up so you dont have push the lock button then target what you want to open. then it ends up just working like 4.1.2 just you have a better lockscreen clock/notifications display.

Honestly i feel as 4.2 simply added more "sweets" to 4.1, and we have the choice to ignored these features.i love the toggles, one of the features im impatiently waiting for in the Evo 4.2 Sense 5 update. As far as lock screen widgets go i use one and only 1 widget, daily motivational quotes widget i disable all other ones (Even the camera widget), but for each their own. we could have updates like IOS where we get little to no new eyecandy to play and show off *Shurgs*
