Changing lock screen - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I have my phone rooted and I have installed a custom rom. I wanted to know if it is possible to change the lock screen to something else?
If yes where can I download them from.
I have looked through the forums and could not find anything about this.
Thanks

Thanks for the link.
I had a few problems not sure if anyone can help.
I used a theme from this thread and followed the steps 14-18 from this thread.
When I rebooted from phone all I got is a black screen. Android did not even boot up.
I restored a backup I took of the phone.
Any ideas as to why this happened?

Just get widget locker I think its available on the market

[Q] Evo 4G running FRESH 3.5.0.1 - Theming using UOT...

Ive been running the latest fresh (3.5.0.1) on my EVO 4G with no problems, but i wanted to change the battery icon and possibly the notification icons. I tried using UOT (uot . dakra . lt/) to do this, and it doesnt seem to work.
I get stuck in an infinite boot loop with the fresh splash screen. Occasionally it will boot to my homescreen for a second, when i can see the changed icons in the notification bar, but before i have a chance to un-lock the screen, it goes back to the FRESH splash boot up screen...over and over. Only a battery pull stops it.
Ive tried both amend and edify scripting, and am getting the framework-res.apk files from the original ROM .zip file. I am flashing using amon-ra
Have any of you tried applying a theme like this to your Evos running FRESH? And if you were successful, what did you do?
I searched the forums for this for the last two days or so and have not found any specific posts or topics on this, i am sorry in advance if it is a repeat question....
Thanks in advance
Before you get flamed for posting in the wrong forum...
Have you tried wiping cache/dalvik after replacing your frame-res.apk?
I have used that kitchen successfully on Fresh before, so it should work.
If you search through my posts, there is a modified .apk for fresh with a battery circle (I can't repost now since I'm not at my comp).

I didn't try that yet, perhaps that is where my problems lie. Thanks!
What forum should i be posting to then? i tried in the DEV forum for UOT but XDA wont let me contribute there until i post more elsewhere.
Mods feel free to remove thread if its in the wrong place

Technically, questions should go in the Q&A section. But you are asking about themes, and this is the theme section. Some people get pretty intense about it, a little too much if you ask me.
Anyway, hope the wiping helps.

Have any other mods been flashed to it before you tried this? That may be the problem because you are using the original framework res not the modified one

no mods flashed before it, just using the basic FRESH 3.5.0.1 ROM. Tried it again with the wiping of cache and davilik and it still gets stuck in a boot loop at the splash screen
I tried toggling verifications, as well as amend and edify scripting. Could a particular mod i was attempting to use cause the issue? (IE. some of the mod changes are not compatable with FRESH)
I will try with a simple change like only the battery icon to see if it works
I am in the same boat. Let me know if you figure it out.

[Q] Evo Fresh 4.2, Any working themes or removal of time???

Can't seem to find anything for the newest version of Fresh ROM 4.2 that works. I have tried things for the past version and it just throws my fresh load screen through a constant loop. Just looking for some themes and a way to remove the time from the status bar.... (their was a method in 3.5, but it gets the phone stuck on the htc load screen). Thanks

There are no themes for Fresh 4.2 ROM at this time. This is a pretty much stock ROM with few numerous improvements, so any MOD that is not ROM-specific, but works with the latest GB OTA, should flash fine. Again, you have to make sure these MODs are NOT designed for a specific ROM.
To remove clock from the status bar see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614
and scroll down to options 6, 7, and 8.

Thanks for the thread for the time removal.

Hey buddy, I am also looking for a theme to mingle with fresh 4.2 I've been looking but haven't found anything, not even generic themes mentioned already that work with any gingerbread roms. If you find anything let me know, and if I find anything I will let you know.
Me too!
After a slightly rocky start (had to re-wipe, re-flash) I've found this ROM to be the bomb! If I could just add back the pull down menu, I'd be in seventh heaven...

Check out UOT Kitchen for all sorts of customizations you can do yourself without having to write code or mess around with system files. It is fairly easy to learn and use even for a n00b. The only thing you'll need to know is how to use ADB. There're plenty of tutorials on XDA for that...

I appreciate the link but it's kind of overwhelming. Honestly I'd rather pay someone else to give me the pull down back.
Tried Widgetsoid - nice app but couldn't get the configuration I really wanted.
All I really want is that pull down...but I can live without it. Otherwise I couldn't be happier with Fresh!

The kitchen is "full". But it looks as though there may have been folks who have cooked up their own stuff that would work with gingerbread roms. Is there anyway that we can tell and download someone elses concoction?

[Q] Problem with Rom: RevolutioN 1.7

OK, so I am not new to the xda desire scene,
(Despite the fact that I can't post in the rom development thread regarding this issue)
I have tried installing this Rom in as many different ways as I can over the past 3 hours:
Using EXT3 rather that EXT4
Changing Hboots
Making sure that I have got the correct download (a2sd+/D++)
Wiping a billion times over
etc etc.
HOWEVER no matter what I do I cannot get this Rom to function
When I boot up for the first time, I just get a wallpaper and notification bar.
No touch screen response/button response.
Only the power button works as a method of turning the screen on/off
I assume from experience at this point in first boot HTC's setup program
(or whatever it is) should start and guide me through
linking up accounts/inputting Wifi keys etc.
I have scoured the rom thread and others regarding rom problems and nobody seems to have had this problem of the Setup manager not starting.
As nice as the Gingerbread Screen On/Off animation is I would prefer to do abit more with my phone
I hope I have posted in the right section and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who has had this experience could help me fix this problem and get a working phone...
(ps. The Rom looks very good, if only I could get it working)
First of all try to redownload the rom!!!
And double check the md5

Hey Thanks guys, but..... I re-downloaded the ROM both versions 1.5 and 1.7 (since 1.5 is thought to be more stable) :/ and get stuck at exactly the same place :SSS I'm am abit baffled since I change Rom's alot and have never experienced this before
Did you wipe dalvik? btw your sd card partion need to be at least 1 gigabyte. It worked for me i had same issue as you. First post on XDA
My first installation of 1.7 didnt work and I had to pull the battery and I thought the same thing was happening with my second try, as the screen just went blank after all the crazy changing shapes that happen during boot. However once I touched the power button the setup menu appeared.
I thought this was strange as every other ROM I have tried went straight from the boot animation to the phone starting without the screen blanking out. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but it might mean something to somebody else, who can then help you further.
ps I have been running the ROM for the past week and I haven't had a screen freeze yet. Which has been a revelation for me, as every other ROM ive tried has been really bad for this.

changing htc splash screen

I have had a bit of a hard time finding much about changing that annoying whit HTC splash screen.here is what I have figured out ,might be helpfull for any of my fellow noobs ..ok,this is simple,there are many really cool custom screens you can find on here,pick the one you like,download it to your sd card.make sure it is named PG32IMG.zip ..power off your phone.holding volume down,power on your phone,this should take you to your h boot.once there give it a second,it will ask you if you want to update,press volume up,reboot your phone by pressing power,done!Hope you find this helpfull!p.s.there is also a good app for making your own screens on here somewhere .think its called splash flasher or something like that,look for it..
Understanding that you cannot post in the dev sections as of yet, I can see why you would post here. I'm in the same spot given I have utilized the forum for a long time but have not been active in the community. I noticed that your link did not come through properly. Here is a link to a splash screen modification that I use with success here. In conjunction with this I also modified my boot up and boot down animations although there are not a ton to chose from, I'm sure there are other threads out there. I just don't have the links. I used these boot up animations (w/ audio mod if you like) with success here. Love that gdi2290 Anyways, I did do some searching to find and ultimately found it through the all things root post found here which has a ton of information for Dinc2 users trying to get their root/modification legs. If anyone else has some decent links for splash screen, boot up, boot down, or other useful links. Add them to the pile.

Check out rom toolbox on the market. You can change boot animations with it. You used to be able to change boot screen also, but unless I'm overlooking it, that has been taken out.

No doubt, keep forgetting the features that app has because I have always used cwm manually (and have since moved on 4ext touch). Nice work!

I can never get the boot logos to work with that app.Love the themes and boot animations though.I think the paid version is well worth it!

There is a thread on here somewhere with a bunch of boot logos that you can download. It's pretty easy to change. Just rename the file and flash in bootloader. You have to make sure it's on the root of sd card. I don't think it works if it's in a folder.

[Q] help for vision impaired

hi guys
im not exactly new here. i have rooted my epic phone a few years ago. rooted a google nexus and now just rooted my galaxy note 10.1 p600 tablet. i am having surgery on tuesday for an eye stitch which will close my eye more due to dryness and a cornea ulcer. anyways im trying to set up tablet to be easier to read for after surgery.
i have looked around but i dont see much. can someone guide me to a rom with full on dark theme for all windows? all settings and such have dark back ground instead of white would help a lot. i have increased font butits the density of resolution ive changed in passed but i cant find an app to do this. any advice?
i also been hunting for a dark theme keyboard that works on the note to support x pen but havnt found that either. dark themes but no s pen imput.
thanks in advance!
stuck in bootloop and im lost
UPDATE
found apps i was looking for. i flashed the cleanrom thats smooth and stable. it had the density app ive seen. so i wanted to try it. normal screen dpi was 320 and i put it at 360. went to reboot it. bad idea.
its been stuck in bootloop ever since. i have tried factory reset, reflashing the rom, flashing stock recovery with odin and removed sd card and tried again. even when i flash with odin it will eventually say 'pass' like it worked but i look at the screen and all i see is 'samsung' logo going dim then flashing bright over and over and over.
i been reading but no idea where to look or for what to help fix this issue. someone please help!

You need to flash the exposed disabler patch from your custom recovery It should be somewhere on your sd card internal I think but maybe external (exposed automatically puts it there). That should fix it. If you dont have the disabler patch install exposed on something else and get it from that device or maybe someone can provide it. Hope you get it working man.
