Need help with Lockscreen

Can someone tell me where to find the settings for the date on the lockscreen? I am not sure what I have done but it isn't showing all the way (see screenshot). Any help is greatly appreciated.

You haven't done anything, Samsuck left a long-standing bug in place. Just ignore it.

Thanks for the quick response. Thought I had screwed something up. Didn't realize it was the bastages at Sammy

After changing system fonts my date works just fine so what ever font samsung used is the culprit.

So which font makes the date show correctly?

Not a TW lockscreen user so you'll have to try some. Or maybe someone else can tell us what they have.

So far these have worked. And as an FYI the reboot works on the metamorph I downloaded from the market. But lets look at a different option. Does anyone know if you can change the font size of the lock screen date font by itself? What I mean is, can we reduce the font size of the lock screen date without changing any other font settings? I ask because so far I am not happy with the fonts I have installed. I prefer the stock font. So if that were possible it would be a better solution for me. If anyone knows if this is possible and can share the location of the xml file to change that would be great.

Russel_Square is the largest and you can see most of the date. Anything else seems too small.

+1 to that. Font in bar just needs to be smaller. But keep font size the same everwhere else.

OK I want to thank decalex for this awesome font. He posted a flashable zip of this font. I have added it to the myfonts.zip. It is called Tin_Birdhouse. But I would still prefer the stock font if it is possible to shrink.

I use a font called sony something.. I don't even remember now.. I renamed it so long ago and have been using it in all my custom roms and in my new ec05 plus, that I have forgotten the actual name. But it looks great and works fine...

Am not a developer, nor a theme designer...but i do try stuff out of curiosity, so i laid my hands on framework-res.apk. Even i wanted a transparent path for the lock screen. But somehow i failed and screwed the lock screen. Will try it later and will post the shots. But before you try it...make sure to have a nandroid backup!

Hi cx- These are the files u need to edit to make any changes in lock screen, u can either make them transparent, or add anything text, image etc. to that.
slider_bg_left.png
slider_bg_right.png

These files are located in framework.res "folder = drawable-hdpi"

If you download a custom launcher from the market you can change the names to whatever you like. GO Launcher EX will allow you to change the names however due to GO Launcher being a RAM hog your phones performance will slip a little. I'm unsure if other less-RAMhogging launchers will let you do that but you can look on the market.

Yes. It's been a while since I used GO Launcher so I've forgotten how you get the menu up to change it, but it definitely works.

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I want a based 4.0.4 stock rom with the skyrocket icons. and The 4G icon as well. But when I changed the framework-apk it doesnt work. I dont know if im doing it right or not but would be nice if some one could make a flashable zip with these icons for all of the stock 4.0.4 based roms
