Hi guys,I recently tried one version of widget locker but with no good results,for example,when I unlock the screen it is covered by "grey rectangles" until I move the page. Is there any solution for that?
I also have a problem with widget locker. When i set it, it doesnt replace my lockscreen.
I have the wildfire with stock 2.2
I have to use the stock lockscreen to get to widget locker lockscreen...
I think the problem is in sense rom. I use rom without sense, and widgetlocker work great.
The "grey rectangles" are the "HTC Weather Animations", you can turn them off in Settings (if your weather is rainy, then you see rain drops & a windshield wiper). I agree they are a pain! Without them WL works great on my WF (not rooted, stock 2.2 ROM)
Thanks,but how can I download other kind of lockscreens?In the thread of themes there are lots of particular lockscreens that I didn't find in widgetLocker,are they using a custom theme with modified lockscreens or do they take those from any site?
You make your own lockscreen with whatever widgets you like - same as a Home screen.
You get a choice of several unlock slider styles, or you can put 'Unlock' on a custom slider. Then you make up the screen with Widgets & Sliders as you like. Only limitation I have found is that you can't put any of the HTC Sense Widgets on the lockscreen

Use adb to pull the app from the phone, replace the original .png's with the ones from the thread, or make your own, and replace then back into the apk, then push it back into your phone.
UNINSTALL it first before you push it.
Ok,got it,but need I to root the phone to run adb?I'm asking 'cause I've original froyo and I can't root my WF!
hey everyone got a quick question.
so ive searched and searched multiple forums and threads and i just can't find away to do this. what i would like to do is change some miui system icons with out applying a whole theme. like going into the icons of the theme and just changing the ones on my homescreen. i know that if you use a different launcher you can change them but i do not want to use an alternate launcher i would like to use the stock launcher. if anyone can't point me in the right direction on changing them feel free to post in here or message me.
thanks in advance
You can either open the theme you're using and modify or add the icons, or you can use Desktop Visualizer. You'll still have the app icons on your screen, you can just put them in a folder if you want. Use a Desktop Visualizer widget, don't use the shortcut.
If you need help changing your theme (or making an icon theme if you're not using a theme) you can pm me & I'll do it for you. Just send me the icons and name them what you want them to be. If you don't know how to name them properly, I can do it. I just need to know what you want the icon to represent.

7zip should work. Unzip the theme, and inside you'll see an "icons" file. Add a zip extension and extract. Add/replace the icons that you want - they have to be named the process name. For example, if you want to add an icon for the Market, you'd name it "com.android.vending.png". You wouldn't add the png extension since it's already there. The MIUI Music app would be com.miui.player.png, and so on. Once you've finished, rezip the icons and remove the zip extension. Then zip up the whole theme and change zip to mtz.
I know a lot of the popular process names off the top of my head because I do this a lot. It's actually faster for me to do it for you than to try to give a step by step guide, so if you run into issues send me a pm.

Seems this has been asked before and no one has answered. Yes icons on the home screen/dock can be changed easy. But the icons in the dock are not so easy. When I download a custom theme for cm7 like stygian black fade, it changes about half of the icons (like handcent), so I know it can be done. I'm using ADW EX and a cm7 kang. I cant find any good guilds on how to make a theme similar to stygians black fade. Editing the original program .apk is not an option as many don't allow it. Creating a folder is also not an option, its just avoiding the issue which can be fixed.
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 screen please.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, they are normally grey at StockROM. If you want to have the normal statusbar, like on the Nexus, I can advise you CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid or SuperNexus. These are CustomROMs and built by the Source Code of Google, that means that these CustomROMs have nothing to do with Samsung.
When you want to stay at StockROM (Samsung's preinstalled ROM/Firmware) I can advise you to root your phone, flash Philz Recovery and cook your SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and TouchWizUI.apk on UOT-Kitchen (the description is on the mainsite)... UOT Kitchen is a site where you can replace some elements of the design.
Your warranty will be lost at both things!
BACKUP THESE APKs BEFORE APPLYING THAT! WHEN YOU DON'T BACKUP THESE FILES YOU MUST REFLASH YOUR STOCKROM TO GET THE NORMAL DESIGN BACK!!!

Status bar autodimming solution
Hi, guys!
The solution is simple:
Decompile SystemUI.apk
Navigate to res/values/dimens.xml
You'll find a dimen item called status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha
In Samsung roms you'll also have tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha
The value is given in percentages. Android dims the icons by setting their transparency (usually to 65%, Samsung - to 50%)
Increase the number and the dimming will go away.
Note that increasing it to 100% will make them a tad too bright. Use 100% only if using translucent status bar with bright BG.
Recompile and Enjoy
Where is this defined for SCH-I535?

Hi, can you advise the location of this xml in the Verizon S3 SystemUI.apk? Or if it's an entirely different setting outside of the apk? I can't find the path you mentioned. Thanks.
Did you decompile it? How much of the path did you follow?

I don't see \values in the \res folder. Here's what mine looks like inside of \res:
anim
color
drawable
drawable-hdpi
drawable-sw360dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw600dp
drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw800dp-xhdpi
drawable-xhdpi
layout
layout-land
layout-port
layout-sw600dp
layout-sw720dp
layout-sw800dp
menu
raw
xml
drawable does seem to contain the status bar xml's but none that look like they control the icon transparency. Any ideas? I'm on a custom ROM, but it is based on stock TW ROM, if that helps.
The folder is res > values then the file called dimens.xml
They are around row 25 but if you don't see the values folder then you haven't decompiled the apk, are you sure you know what to do
Haha, well I was "cheating" by using Root Explorer to extract, expecting to mod then zip and change .zip extension to .apk. If I need to properly decompile to see the dimens.xml, I'll use APKTool on the PC. Thanks.

Hmm, well I finally got around to doing this the right way with apktool (loaded both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk, decompiled, changed the status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha and tw_status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha values, then re-compiled), then copied the entire res folder and resources.arsc file from my modded apk back to the original using 7-zip, then pushed back to my phone. Still no change in shade of status bar icons. What could I be doing wrong?
Is it the status bar icons or the clock colour or both you want to change

It's the status bar icons, but I finally got this! The part of the guide talking about opening 7zip and dragging changed folders to the original apk structure wasn't working between 7zip windows because the RES folder wasn't overwriting the existing RES folder so it was failing and not telling me. Once I deleted the resources.arsc file and the RES folder from the original apk in 7Zip I could then drag those over. Closed it, pushed it rebooted and finally saw brighter icons on the left side! Many thanks to this forum, all the contributors, and of course all the developers that make all this cool stuff possible! Now on to deciphering the location of all my right side icons and replacing them with brighter versions to match.

Look in the SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi folder also the clock colour is in the SystemUI.apk\res\layout folder and the tw_status_bar.xml file on this row, changing the colour highlighted in red will change the clock colour, this as you probably know is white yours will probably be #ffa6a6a6 this is a mid to light grey,leave the initial #ff just change the last 6
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_clock_text_size" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:

Great stuff! Actually I can customize the battery icon and clock color through my ROM settings, but not the wi-fi/data/signal and ringer icons. I have to go to the drawable-xhdpi folder for that, but at least it doesn't require a full decompile/recompile to change out the .png's. Thanks for all the help!
