Unlock screen skin

The htc HD is an amazining piece of technology as we all agree, and as I've seen from this forum people are really making the most of it by being creative and making everthing that wasnt quite up to scratch better (the skin for the calculator, new apps etc). Though one thing I have yet to see which is also something I feel lets down the device astheticly is the unlock screen. we all know the one, it's part of windows mobile and looks as if it's been drawn on ms paint, a bit of a let down. I searched the forums, and other sites and seen the likes of throtle lock, and S2U2 but to be honest if I wanted something like an iPhone I would have got an iPhone. Idealily I'd love something that fits in with touchflo 3d, perhaps something resembling the phone dailer, and not a new lock program simply a skin for the old one. So I was wondering has anyone made such a thing or if not is anyone now interested in making one, I'm sure this will be something that will be highly popular with HTC users as it'll help the device look more complete and well rounded rather then seem like theres been bits overlooked by the developers.
below are the images of what we currently have and what I'd like it to resemble

Go for it!
Hell ya!
Why is it so difficult? I really like to see a simply remodified skin for the standard lockscreen. We have tons of skins for kinda everything (including senseless stuff).
For me it is very important to use the look, because if I loose my HD, nobody should call with it or read important stuff about work/privacy.
Hmpf.
Bye,
The Hopeless-one.

I have seen such a skin, but unfortunately it was on the kaiser and it was a wm6.5 rom. i will do a little digging myself see what pops up and what i can create...
watch this space!

leebaber, you've hit the nail on the head with this one!
I have always found it weird nobody has skinned the horrible lock screen!
A Manila-looking screen would look awesome
k1nn34r, I'm watching eagerly!

if someone can solve this they'd be my HERO!!
HTC has done it somehow - it was much better looking e.g in Dutty's 3.3XT ROM - so its possible -I am not technical enough to know which files and how to change them.

Yes, the one in Dutty's V3.3 rom is perfect! I loved the skin that was used! Sadly it has been removed for whatever reason in his latest V3.4 rom. I've already requested (along with some others) a cab or the files to get it back to the skinned version.
Really hoping something comes of this as I to use the lock screen and prefer it over the Iphone look.
Will be keeping an eye on this thread!

I'm using Dutty's 3.3, how is this unlock screen much different from the original?

Why don't you compare yours with the screen shot of the ugly stock one above...you should see the glaring difference.

[req][panel] can someone help make a pip-boy (fallout 3) panel?

I stumbled onto this article today and thought what a fantastic panel this would make. If someone with some panel making experience thinks that they could construct such a panel I will start gathering any graphics, sounds, or any other materials determined to be required for its creation.
If the Storm and the Iphone can do it so can the X1!
I hope there are some users on here who think this is as good an idea as I do, if so bump this thread and hopefully we can all soon be walking around with our very own pip-boy 3000's... erm X1's!
Here's a couple pics to give you all idea of where Im going with this:

thats prity darn coool

fallout is great! i want a pip boy too!

jea i want a pipboy 3000 too plz devlop a panel like that
damnnn
turnstar great idea !!!!

very easy to make it useing Flash& it's actionscript
flash panels becoming very popular : )

yeaaah this would be greaaat !

i have seen this on the iphone, its just a theme looks ok but looks better in pics than on the iphone itself as some stuff have not got icons for, so some software are using the theme and some are not.

Yeah I heard that the Iphone version was mostly just for the pretty and not terribly functional. But that's pretty much the Iphone in a nutshell.
Edit: This is only semi related to this thread, but there is some cool concept art in this directory which I thought I'd share with the class:
http://www.sghi.info/GL/img/Post.Nuclear.PC.Games/Fallout.3_concept.art/

this would be so cool even if it dont work it would be pretty cool to like show your friends. you could be like OHHHH YEAHHHH IVE GOT A PIPBOY3000

omg this would be awesome if there would be a pipboy panel
i love fallout^^

If this was doen well this could be one of the best panels yet.

Brilliant idea

Ok, Ive got the SDK and am in the process of acquiring MS visual studio (legally of course) I'm willing to take a stab @ learning how this is done and I have some material to read through, but if Ethermind or anyone else has any additional resources that they think I should be reading to get me on the right track here It would help me out a lot as this is a fairly new frontier for me. I very much want to make this panel happen but can use all the help I can get.
Thanks to everyone who's shown an interest so far, hopefully I won't let you down!

any luck yet?

Hardly, I have no panel making experience whatsoever. I'm doing a lot of reading right now and I think I'll be able to pull out something, but it won't be quick.
In the meantime if people could let me know what kind of features or what you'd like this panel to link to i.e. SMS, E-mail, ect. It would be helpful.

If you're serious about making this, send me a pm once you get things rolling. I worked on the original Fallout games and might be able to help you out with some pipboy artwork.

! to get a pip-boy you have to be 10 years old

Image should be 480x800 no ?
But thanks

800x800 dude, just replace it with the one in the windows folder, make sure u backup the original one first

i haven't searched yet.. but do you know if there's a copy of the one gtrab used on his FIRST barebone release.... it was like the gree original 6.1 welcomehead but instead it was BLACK and said SEX1 windows mobile prof 6.5 looked waaaaaaaay better than the annoying blinding oragne one that i've got now... ?

Sorry but i made one 480x800 and it works like a charm !
Here it is ;-)

thats not quite what i was looking for.. but it's better than that stupid orange one.. ! thx

Hi spikegotti,
is there a possibility to get this picture without Windows-logo and text?
Thanks

Salenkova, if you use that size, you will never get landscape mode when booting up, why do you think the original welcomehead image and SE wallpapers for the xperia are 800x800?????
Here are 800x800 wallpapers and Sony Ericsson Panel images
Replace the sony ericsson panel images in the Program Files/Panels/SonyEricssonPanel/images folder
NOTE THAT THESE IMAGES CORRESPOND WITH THE NAMES OF THE CURRENT PANEL IMAGES...e.g. black, silver, and so on

awesome. thanks!

im pretty sure giant pic posts like this was what made XDA take a crap about a month ago... it'd be SOOOOO much better if you could just post ONE image as a prievew and the rest in a .zip... not everyone is on SUPER HIGH SPEED INTERNET!

They're hosted off site and aren't a load on the forum or the xda-dev server.

Anyone got the original Rhodium or Topaz background? The black one I mean.

Why should we all have to deal with this just because you won't pay for high speed?
And to the OP, these are great, thanks!

Nice uploads.

wow, that is some awesome art work! I'm gonna stick on a Windows Phone Logo by mcarroll on the black windows one and see how it looks

The first WM7S prototype phone from LG, with a full keyboard [with video]

Not much information at the moment, apart from the standard headphone jack, 5 megapixel camera and the usual three button configuration.

The guy from Microsoft refused to answer a direct question: "Is the HD2 getting the upgrade?", his answer was "Come to MIX"

very ugly hd2 is the best

Cool ... but how big is the screen?
3.7" .... ?
It looks smaller ...

HD2 MAKES THIS LOOK LIKE A MOUSE... i believe hd2 will get upgrade

From what I see is that LG already has the Software..
and the HD2 looks 1000% times better!!!

The front reminds me of the enV Touch, but it's pretty nice overall. The keyboard is meh, not quite as nice as the TP2's, seems decent.
Nothing amazing design-wise, but we are still questionable with these specs.
What is that screen size though???
Unless my eyes are completely deceiving me, it really doesn't seem that big: 3.2", 3.4" maybe??
I don't recall a physical size minimum, and it is really not necessary.
Yes, the HD2 looks nicer, but it is a different style phone.
Remember we still have hardware choices with WinMo.

Didn't HTC say it was going to get the upgrade?

I love looking at all the new cell phones. I haven't liked LG because the quality hasn't been good in the past. HTC is my favorite and before them, HP.

I don't think I'd ever buy an LG product..it'll have to be HTC or nothing, hopefully I can just upgrade my TP2 (I know, I know, it may be too slow..but we'll see!) I'm surprised this has a keyboard..that is a must have for me and everyone I talk to says they are "out"..guess not!

Some grunt in their Russia tech support dept "announced" that a while back. HTC head office immediately issued a statement saying this was incorrect.

very simple phone (old styled)

He looks like as LG Monaco but the buttons are new(search,windows flag,back) maybe it is Monaco but created for wp7s?

actually i like the style and especially the keyboatd layout. curious about how the next htc wp7s phone will look like.

I'll be waiting on the Touch Pro3 or whatever they decide to call the next landscape slider.

and where can we download this leaked rom LOL .

Its actually interesting you say that, Windows Phone 7 Series may not be possible on the HD2 because of the actual button configuration.
Guys/Gals, please see post #28 via this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637919&page=3
Let me know your thougts/opinions.
Thank you.

I don't like this phone too. It's typical LG-phone and there is nothing new in the phone.

It's really ugly. Can't wait for the first HTC WP7 phone (with a qwerty)

what is with WP7s and the words coming off the screen???? they are trying to be trend setters but it just looks tacky and unfinished!

[Wallpapers] WP7 Lock Screens! [10/28]

Seeing as how we can't currently add wallpapers beneath the tiles, I figured we could at least get some going for the lock screen. I'll start off with a few right now, but plan to add a lot more. Right-click and "Save Image As..." on the wallpapers you want. You can find many of these wallpapers over at deviantArt.com. Enjoy.

That looks pretty clean. Where's the picture from? WP7 choice?

Was going to create a thread but I saw this one.
This is what I use atm to show off the very vibrant SAMOLED in Omnia 7.
Saw some very good ones here that I might use.

Very nice!!! Thanks

I'm working on a few myself. I'm just modifying a few I have to fit WP7 screen.
Will post them later.
