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.

hey guys?
please help me or give me a link!
how can i change and costumize my task/notification bar on my legend?
with this http://circle.glx.nl/ i cant do it. its only working with desire roms.
but i can change battery icon.
thx for ur help
Simply replace it in your framework-res.apk (use 7zip) it's located in the res/drawable-mdpi folder if I'm not mistaken.
If it's a .9.png file you won't be able to simply replace it. (there are tutorials on how to change them here on xda)
wow nice, thx for this!!
but i want to change transparency, add quick toggle buttons, add a text when i pull down the bar and so on.....
how can i do that? in the link above, theres a nice kitchen for that, but it only works on desire roms

It's working fine, only the notification part isn't support for our Legend.
The icons and animations are working.
With CM7 only the battery indication can be modified because the rest of the icons are in SystemUI.apk instead of framework-res.apk.
lol i know that.
but i want to change the notification area, no icons or other stuff

Hello, i´ve got also an related question.
I want to change the color of the notification bar.
So i copied the new "statusbar_background.png" in the framework-res.apk. And then the .apk back via root explorer in /system/framework.
If i look in the .apk my customized statusbar is also there, but after rebooting the phone it hasn´t changed.. the old statusbar look is also there.
I´m on B0.7 with data2ext.
Thanks for replies, picz
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.

You need to decompile your systemui.apk.after that go to res/values/
edit styles.xml,search for TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock and change the value of android:textColor to 808080 (which i think is grey,not sure).after making changes, save and compile your systemui.apk and there you go...

Maybe I have missed something here.
Every application I use to decompile an ICS apk file returns errors.
What application are you using to decompile and then recompile the apk files?
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to get the stock Android lockscreen on the P769? I have tried renaming LGLockscreen3.apk but the new lockscreen it gives after renaming it has a white line on the bottom. I was thinking if maybe there was an apk that has the AOSP lockscreen so I can replace LGLockscreen.apk with it. I have tried Holo Locker but sometimes the phone unlocks to the LG Lockscreen.

For after market lock screens, like Go Locker, etc. You must disable the stock lock screen and also must allow and activate the after market lock screen app in System->Security->Phone Administrators

Thanks, but is there a way to get the stock Android lockscreen without aftermarket apps? If you don't understand what I mean by "Stock" I mean the lockscreen with a white lock and 3 shortcuts, Google Up, Camera Left, and Unlock Right. It's the one found in CM.

That's CM's lock screen. Should be available in any CM ROM. Stock is unchanged from the OEM.

Would it be possible to get the lockscreen.apk from a CM10 ROM and use it on a stock P769?
EDIT: I tried opening a CM ROM but there isn't a lockscreen APK. (I'm still learning about Android) However, when I rename the LGLockscreen3 APK, I get a CM-like lockscreen just that it has a grey bar on the bottom.

Thanks for sharing.
All you have to do is remove the lockscreen apk.
You made the system not find it by renaming it.
I believe I saw something about it inside the LGSettings.apk. However, I never knew how to enable it. :beer:

For some reason I can't see the images you attached, instead it's a broken file icon do you know what causes that? It only happens to me on XDA.
You could try editing build.prop
There is lglockscreen=true or something similar. Dont remember exactly. Just chang it.
From what I can tell the following are the files you've been looking for...
1) com.lge.lockscreen.apk
2) Lock Screen Settings.apk
As @kuma82 mentioned, there may also be something in SystemUI.apk as well.

@kuma82 is right. Original AOSP lock screen code is in /framework.jar and its resources are in framework-res.apk. To fix grey bar you need to look into those files. If you delete or rename Lockscreen3.apk, AOSP lockscreen will show up. But I don't think it's easy to fix that grey bar and you don't have option to customize that lock screen.
