I saw a thread in the Shift 4g section, that in htc phones, if you rename the htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen.bak it would "remove" the htc lockscreen and you would use the vanilla lockscreen. Do our epics have a "lockscreen.apk" of sorts, or are the files all in the touchwiz apk?

Are lock screen is done threw android.policy.jar. The only way for us to enable aosp is to modify the smali code.
If you look around you.can find one flashanle got what ever rom your using

Firstly, I apologize if I'm off on anything I say here and am definitely open to direction. I'm a bit new to the game but have taken a deep interest in the modding community and modding itself. I generally just read from the sidelines but I seem to be in a pickle at the moment.
I am currently running ARHD 5.2.3 (Thanks, Mike!) with several Sense 3.0 mods including the 3D Rosie. I absolutely love it and it doesn't interfere with the mod or anything and the performance is still amazing. Well, I've been thinking about doing an actual case mod with a wrist mount and I remember seeing the HTC Flyer had the 3D Rosie in landscape mode, too. Now I'm aware of BeatMod, the Flyer ROM for DHD, but I'd really like to stick with Mike's ROM. Is there a way to get the .apk for the Flyer Rosie by itself so I can use the landscape 3D launcher or because of resizing and HTC widget issues will I have to use a ROM that is built around the Flyer port?
Im not sure but you can always try it. Download the Beatmod zip, extract it and search for rosie.apk. Do a nandroid, move it to your phone SD card and then replace the rosie.apk thats already there via Root Explorer.
That's true. I might give that a go tomorrow after a good night's rest.

I went ahead and loaded the .apk. It works to an extent before it force closes. Judging by the way its reacting, its having a problem with old 2.1 widget sizes. I lose the dock at the bottom completely (it might be there but below the edge of the phone screen because of size issues), Friend Stream doesnt show anymore, my news widget is off-center to the top-left, and when I go to add a widget via the personalize button everything is a mess and not as descriptive as it should be. When I fumble around and finally hit the right button for widgets and start looking through them it force closes. Any tips on the next step to get this functional?
Doesnt seem like you'll be able to use it without the Flyer ROM then. It wasnt designed for other ROMS and thus doesnt work properly.
BUT you might want to try to find out which kernel is in the Beatmod ROM, then install it to yours. It might make a difference.
I'm wondering how 3D Rosie differs from the Flyer Rosie as I am able to use it on ARHD. I'll probably shoot a message over to Seo and ask about how they modded 3D Rosie to work.

The only thing i can suggest to experiment with is the DPI. as far as I know DHD uses 240 while flyer uses 160. Try playing through LCD density changer as well.
Alright. I'll give that a go. I did read something about that while I was looking around. That could fix sizing but I'd still have to tackle function.

Good luck! Please post here about your results I would be interested in have a rotating homescreen on VU Rom
My girlfriend has the EVO 4g and she is rooted but wants to stay stock. But she wants the lock ring with the weather and the 4 shortcut icons on the lockscreen. What files would I need to put into the mix to make that all happen? Thank you in advance

There is a flashable zip in the EVO themes and apps section. Don't know if it works with Sense 1.0 though, doubt it. Just flash MikG with freedom kernel when she looks away....

I have a rooted samsung epic 4g, stock rom, and i was hoping to get rid of the horrible touchwiz lockscreen and replace it with the original gingerbread lockscreen. I have looked and looked for something like this, but all i found was glitchy apps like go locker.
Uh you mean the aosp lockscreen? The double sliders? Unlock and sound sliders...if so you'd need to be on a deodexed rom aka a custom rooted rom...for it to work.

Just flash one of the addons from a theme that is for AOSP lock screen. Make sure you are on a deodexed rom.

Well, I found one but it was in an mtz. format. I couldn't find the themes app to read that. Do I need a custom rom for the miui themes app?

Is it possible to "transplant" an ICS lockscreen (ie from juggernaut 5.0) and install on another ROM?
I'm using MALICE now, with Eugene's new kernel. I'm tech savvy with some things but a noob with this stuff.

my lockscreen is transparent. I'm not exactly sure what's the process, but I had a picture from my gallery on there, and I flashed another ROM or something along those lines and the screen is transparent, probably because I don't have that picture anymore? not sure? You can try deleting the picture after you set it?
Sorry I don't know the exact way to do it, but it is possible.
What I did was download go launcher
Then I downloaded go locker then found the ics theme lockscreen then I set the default launcher for whichever rom I was running(don't pick go launcher). And boom ics lockscreen on the rom and you don't even have to run go luncher you just have to download it for the locker to work....probably not the way you wanted but that's probably the easiest way...ha

@teo032
I think he meant transplant not transparent. As far as making your lockscreen "transparent" goes, all you need to do is go to cwm and fix permissions, then reboot. It will remove the assigned lockscreen .jpeg file to none.
@evanladoux
Implementing a lockscreen to be built in to a rom is very long process and it requires that you understand programming fairly well.
Yea lockscreens never used to be hard, but in GB witb samsung, its a pain.
M&S
Thank you everybody for your replies.
I was looking to get a built in lockscreen rather than Go Locker, which is what I just went with.
I was hoping it might be as easy as unzipping a ROM, & rename/copy/paste a few files into the DD folders.
Its fine until we have a fully functional TMO ICS. I use Wifi Calling a LOT, so, the current batch of ICS ROMs won't work for me as a DD, though I appreciate all the dev's work to provide (ie M&S .. too many to list)

I was wondering if there was a way to get the touchwiz phone and contacts apk ported to aokp milestone 35. I like being able to swipe a contact to the left to call or to the right to message. I noticed rujeles(sorry if spelling is wrong) has it in the blu kuban. I'm just not a big fan of the blue themes tho. I would like to stay with aokp also because some of my live wallpapers still scroll on this rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Edit: sorry I forgot to check the question box
You could try to push them. Just rename the old from .apk to .bak, push the one you want to system/app and fix their permissions and reboot. If you get fc on them, just go back in and delete the ones you pushed, rename the old ones back and reboot.

There is a how to thread more or less at the og epic themes section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Blu Kuban is a TWiz rom, AOKP is an AOSP rom. TWiz apps won't run on AOSP because they are framework dependent and there is no TWiz framework in an AOSP rom. However AOSP apps will run on almost any rom TWiz, Sense, Blur or otherwise because they all have the Google frameworks underlying the proprietary skins framework

Thanks for the help. I tried to push them a few days ago, but had no luck. I figured it was for the reasons Evil Konceptz had mentioned. I just thought I might get lucky because I noticed a thread for the original epic in which some dev ported a few touchwiz apps for cm7/9
