[THEME] Clean TW Lockscreen Mod

Hi everyone!
I didn't like the animated arrows on Samsung's lockscreen, but couldn't find a mod for it here.
So I tweaked it a bit to remove the text and the arrows Here's a preview:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Includes my battery icons as a bonus
XWJPA
XWJPA (with multi-locale support)
XXJPO (with multi-locale support)

How-to:
1. Decompile framework-res.apk, navigate to \res\values\
2. do a search for strings.xml files in explorer
3. Drag and drop all the files from the search results into Notepad++
4. Find using REG expressions:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2.*
replace with:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2"> </string>
(Tip: use the "replace in all open documents" button)
5. Save all files
6. Compile apk as usual

Nice m8. Works great.
Edit: Noticed that I still have the text for swiping the screen. Did you remove only english text because mine is in finnish?

What is the name of the file you have edited to remove the wordings?

Nice
Can you also make this for JPM please?

For English, it's under res\values\strings.xml
Do a search in the file for zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2
You can also find other strings.xml files for various languages in other values folders (e.g. values-es)

Is it possible to get this for JM1? I would absolutely love this D:

Using your JPO Version but changed battery icon (Version E from repository)
For anyone interested..
Updateable through CWM (rename to update.zip or use install from zip option).

thank you great work!

Does it need deodexed ROM?

@Cy4n1d3 Can I use this with JPA?

As JPO and JPA seem to be mostly different in localization I would take a wild guess and say yes.
You better prepare an update.zip with your vanilla framework though better safe than sorry.

Not at the moment, I'm waiting for the official Froyo builds to be released before making mods for them. Right now seems many are suffering from ORD (me included )
Also looking into how the pngs can be added to apks to save some work

This is exactlly what i was looking for...but now ive had it for a few days and reading other mods is there any chance you could make the extended power menu for this aswell? then it will truely be perfection...

I agree.. i love the look of this theme..
If it included the ext. power menu.. I would use it forever.. lol
Maybe this is something that can be done by me if someone tells me how?
Also i am a noob with this stuff.. i have no idea how to install this even with instructions in thread.. So i would like to make this into a cwm flashable zip.. with the power menu added. If it's easy maybe someone could tell me how or just cook it up for me?

Damn I love that clock.
I wish there was a widget with that clock on the market,
looks very elegant

Nice work - going to give this a bash when I get home tonight.

Dude, these look really nice. I'm downloading some now and will try them out.
I've tried to make up some bootanimations before, but they never turn out. (actually they were totally F.U.B.A.R. ...but at least I tried...repeatedly...repeatedly... ... ... ... ...
I was wondering if you might share with me how you made these?
(My sanity and) I would be forever grateful.
Peace.

sure, check your pm

@deconfrost
I've just been killing myself trying to do a bootanimation (using yours as a template)...FAIL!!!
Then, just now, I saw the PM you sent me.
I think I did everything you prescribed, but still....FAIL!!!
I've attached the file and wonder if you could take a look at it and maybe see where I've gone wrong.

thanks!

link fixed, sorry just a typo error.
I use Animation Shop to convert them to gif and GIFFrame to extract the individual frames
eternal-inten,
downloading your file, I will have a look in a bit, whats wrong with it?
edit : I extracted the files, all look fine. repacked your zip file with compression method "STORE" and it all works fine, plays a little slow but works just play with the value in desc.txt to get the speed you want

@ deconfrost
Thank you for checking the file.
However, I thought I did pack it as "STORE". ???
Using 7zip, in "Add to archive" I chose ZIP then STORE.
What app do you use to create the zip file?
And one last question ...
Do you have any tips on image/frame selection and/or tweaking the desc.text to help it play smoothly?
Thanks again for all the help.
Peace.

Made a little boot animation with sound from an old starting hard disk! Flash it with CWM and have fun!
If you want to use it for your own ROM Release, feel free to use it but give me credits for it!
Thx to CoDdis @ Android-Hilfe.de for making an usable CWM package!
How to for Speedmod: (need to be root!!!)
1: make a nandroid backup (just to be on the safe side)
2: install the CWM file through ClockWorkMod (=CWM )
3: copy my bootanimation.zip in /system/media, make two clones and rename the cloned files to ODEAnim.zip and sanim.zip
4: go to /system/bin, backup and delete the file samsungani
5: rename the file bootanimation in /system/bin to samsungani
Reboot and be happy.

EDIT2:
Reworked it by myself for Android 2.3.5! Hope you enjoy it and still thanks to the editors of the other two versions who came first with them!
EDIT3:
Now with all Android version numbers starting from 2.3.3 to 4.0.4. Enjoy it.

If CM7 uses a kernel with boot animation support then yes!

Hi,
This caused a few problems with my setup and gave me a long black screen before eventually booting. I had already put a custom boot image for my first loading screen which I think is what is causing the conflict. I overwrote bootanimation.zip in system/media with another custom image to get everything working correctly again, but I still have the booting sound from your zip. How do I remove that sound? Is there a wav file or something somewhere that I can delete? Let me know please.
Thanks
*EDIT* Not to worry, I found it in etc/poweron.wav

Nice work, looks awesome!

works great on lite'ning rom

Superb bootanimation. I feel I'll keep rebooting to show it off.
Loved the part "Press VOLUP and HOME to enter SETUP".
Why don't you put the final images of the two screens in the OP?

Awesome! Using this now!
Thanks for this! +1

Thanks. Amazing. Loved it.

So, I present to you my Inverted AOSP (Google) MMS.APK which is COMPLETELY Black (Screenshots Below)
I'm going to be inverting alot more apps to give in mine & Pele's theme.

It should work on ANY ROM including odexed ROM's.

very nice, any chance of getting it with the slide notifications on the lockscreen?

Hi NitrozK, the MMS apk looks brilliantly black. Awesome. I renamed it and replaced it with the MMS.apk in the system folder and it worked fine with the Revolution 2.6 ROM and with JKay lockscreen. But the system stays awake all the time with "Google Services" keeping it awake, hogging the battery. And when I replaced it with the original one, the system was sleeping like it should. I don't know where or what the problem is.
I didn't add it as a separate apk but replaced the MMS one, as I didn't want another one. Can you look into this as this looks superb. I've added a screenshot of the wakelock issue.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Nitroz, all working fine on KH3 stock rom, apart from compose icon when pressing menu, is displaying completely the wrong icon.

Hi may I request you to include this mod into your apk please ....

[DEVTOOL] Saint's Color Editor v1.1 (changing colors in Android XML files made easy)

Saint's Color Editor v1.1​
I developed this tool to easily edit android colors in decompiled xml files. I'm sharing it here to help other themers because personally I found changing colors in xml files as the most painful part of theming.​

* Improved error handling​

How to install and use?
Pretty simple..
- Unzip ColorEditor.exe anywhere you like and run..
- You must have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installed on your pc
- Open any android xml file that contains colors
- Click on colors you want to change and choose alternate color from the color dialog that pops up (the app will automatically identify the hex code)
- When you are done, hit File/Save or Saveas..​... as simple as that

I don't know why this tool did not got any attention from themers, since it is quite handy.
Thanks mate, again

Very great work mate!
I'll try it!

Very good tool definately makes changing colors easy. One question is do you use this to change the colors.xml from framework res cause i seem to just get boot loops whenever changing a couple of colours in that file even if just copy the resources file to a working framework res still get a bootloop. Not sure what to try. I only change the clock and secondary text colour. Any help would be great.

Yes, I use this a lot to change colors.xml and no I never had boot loops. Boot loops cannot be due to changing colors. It could be due to the way you compile the apk's. For system apk's try not to flash signed apk's. I used to get boot loops when I sign system apk's. Flash only unsigned system apk's. Hope this helps...

hi i want to change the color of like the text in messages, the text which you type out, which value should i edit in my framework color.xml?
