Hello, does it exist a .zip for install 5 lockscreen in CWM?

You could use lockbot pro think that will give you extra lock screen styles

Not lockbot but only 5 lockscreen

Looking for that too, I wonder if there is something available.

Just flash a theme with 5 lockscreens, most of the themes includes 5 lockscreens...
But doesn't it depend on the rom?
I mean, the unlock screens are a rom feature or a theme feature?
I would put my money on the themes. But I'm not 100% sure.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Most themes won't work without a Modified ROM. I could maybe try and extract the files from a ROM that has it and make a CWM update file. Only thing is I need to write a script to make it work and I haven't yet learnt how to do that yet.
up ?
Or juste epic lockscreen . zip plz ?

i want to have 5 lockscreen without flash a theme, is it possible? only 5 lockscreen on a stock fw
I too would like to know this. I searched for this a while ago, but couldn't find anything.
My understanding is that the 5 lockscreens modification is theme related, but that doesn't mean that they can not be included in a ROM.
I'm a total noob when it comes to these things.
I did manage to remove the 'Swipe Glass to Unlock' message by using a hex editor on a themes framework-res apk and replacing the string with a whole bunch of spaces (hence why I think this is theme related) but anything beyond that is above me. To be honest I was surprised that even worked and it almost looked as if some of the strings visible in the hex editor were in Portuguese or something....?!?
Then again I would assume the Settings.apk would need to be modified in order to include the extra option in 'Display' settings but I have flashed a different settings apk before and got no change (apart from the icons that were changed).
I cant even figure out why I can't view xml's from an unpacked APK on my PC, yet using root explorer they are all in plain English on my phone..... so I really have no clue in the world about these lock screens, but at least I tried.
Wow... what a rant that was.
Point is, anyone who has a good knowledge on this stuff, your opinion would be appreciated.
Android apks can be classified in two forms:
-compiled and
-decompiled.
When in compiled form, xmls will be in a gibberish, so no readable text can be deciphered. Android can only read this gibberish.
If you want to edit it, you need to decompile it, this will make it readable and understandable.
Decompiling is very important so you can really modify anything. Also very important for .9 pngs, as the boundaries are distinguishable.
Hope this helped, btw im still a noob themer compared to some of the other blokes here.

Well, i have theme that has 5 locksreecn, but the Epic Lockscreen is modified, is it possible for me to flash the "normal" Epic Lockscreen on CWM and have it normal (not moded)? If yes, maybe any links?
Thanks

Look for Stockmod Plus.
From looking around google, I found a guide on another forum that gives a few details on what files need amended, based on it, it appears that you need to amend the framework-res.apk and a few .jar files...
If my understanding is right, you don't want to flash a full theme, I understand, I'm the same, want the 5 locks but Not a full theme, even if it claims to be stock or not...
From what I have read, the files that need changed are as follows:
Framework-res.apk, framework.jar, android.policy.jar, Settings.apk, and services.jar
I guess you could download the StockMod .zip, open it with 7zip, you will find a folder called system\framework, if you Delete all the files from it except the ones mentioned above and then flash the .zip, I assume it will give you the lock screens and possibly the power button options (may need other files such as TWFramework-res.apk) with minimal theme change at all, but I don't know for sure as the Themers seem to want to keep this information to themselves so you flash their Full themes...
Otherwise the only other way is to extract the files from your phone, decomile them, edit them and re compile them etc... but a guide would be nice
Hopefully a nice Dev will come along and share some details...
so has anyone made some update.zip or something to install lockscreen without new theme????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959065
I really like the layout and colors on this MattedBlues theme.
It would be very appreciated if someone that has the knowledge to do it would share the wealth.
I would definitely give it a try if I had any idea how to do it!
Thank you in advance

blah.. don't have time to do this right now.
here the theme porter ive used in the past. just follow instructions.
theme porter... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
update.zip packager... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437
what i do.
get theme
get rom.
extract both.
place needed files in correct "new" and "old" folders..
run script..
move "new" folder back into cm7 unzipped folder where you took them from.
rezip into flashable zip..
if you google how to make a flashable.zip you should get a link to xda somewhere.
has a script too that does it for you. then just flash in cwm.
p.s. im workin on this right now. ill try to upload tonight. if not tomorrow after work.
Lol funny thing is I ported this for myself already, I just got winrar and replaced the SystemUI.apk images, and the framework-res images, and if you want the apps stuff too then replace those as well and done.
When I tried to flash it a week or two ago it made me loose service, so I had to do it that way and such, although I do not understand why it would make me loose service

That looks great! Do you still have the zip you can share? If not, then I will try to figure it out!
Thank you in advance!

I will add it to the latest nightly, although I have no idea if this will let me upload a entire rom o.0
if cimer doesn't get it i'll continue work. kinda more of a learing process right meow.
i got everything themed over. i guess i should include the apks from the themed rom, and not the ones in cm7 since they don't show up themed when i open them i.e. dialer, market etc.. threw it together quickly. boot animation, notification bar and font taken care of. i'll continue tomorrow.
if this works, pretty sure it will.. i'll start porting more themes.
Awesome.....
Is there any way to add the zip as just a flashable theme, rather than part of a full rom? I am currently only using CM7 RC2, not any of the nightlies.
Anything I can do to help, plz let me know!
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Yes there is a way to just do a flashable zip, although since I have no idea what caused me to loose service I did it directly with the Rom. I will play around with it tonight when I have time.
If you want to do it your self you just need the latest nightly, the latest matted blues and just copy things into the appropriate folder using winrar. It's really simple.
Edit: @shady if you want to do it you can, I have yet to get started.

Well this morning I got the theme ported... the best I could anyways. I'm by all means no sort of dev or themer.. I just like to tinker. but I got the theme ported.. only thing I noticed was lockscreen icons weren't themed.. idk if they are or not originally in the evo theme.. and in setting the "highlight" or whatever its called was still the orange color.. honestly idk how to change any of those. Like I said I only tinker.. but id say like 95% of the theme ported over just fine.. I was using it, but flashed back to lucid theme on my way to work. Ill work on this and see if I can make the update.zip just the theme and not a full rom...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Mine were not original either it's alright the lock should be blue and a couple of other tweaks,
The whole theme works great by copying the icons and imgs in framework res.apk. to the cm7 framework and over writing it. I have tried the theme porter method but apk manager works the best so far that I've tried if I get permission from developer I will post the theme later tonight. I only have it up to build 19 though

Did you get permission?
And wouldn't basing a theme on a RC be a better idea? Just saying
Just waiting for a pm back from him but I bet it would be better I just use the nightlies and did it for myself but I can do the rc2 tonight and send him another pm
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I hope someone can get it working.......I have been try and keep getting all kinds of fc's on all kinds of programs.........it was frustrating so I took a break from it.
Hopefully someone will be able to get this working on RC2 or maybe the developer will eventually add it to the theme engine as an apk

I also tried to contact the developer several times, and didn't get any response. I'm sure they are busy tweaking this for the evo and nexus s. Its really a solid theme

1) Get Winrar
2)Download the ROM you want to flash
3)Open the rom with winrar (Avoids resigning it yourself)
4)Replace the Framework-res.apk located in system/framework with the theme you want
5)Replace the SystemUI.apk located in system/app with the theme you want
6) Close the window
7) Put it on your SD card to flash, remember always make a backup just in case.
Also note if you want the themed icons for apps just replace all the apps in system/apps
This is for people that want to use it personally, you would need to contact the dev. in order to release it to everyone.

This does NOT work. Atleast not for me. I downloaded CM7 RC2 and downloaded CM7RC2 version of MattedBlues. I tried 3 different variations.
1.) I replayed all files from mattedblues into the cm7 rom folder. This allowed me to boot into CM7 with the theme applied, HOWEVER, I had no internet connection and I get about 3-4 FC during the google apps setup
2.) So I tried being selective and only copied framework over and a few of the apps in the app folder. Maybe 3 or 4 apps, like gmail, systemUI, phone etc. This didn't give FC, instead it wouldn't let me have internet connection.
3.) So I just followed the guide exactly and copied only the framework over and the systemUI over. This caused no internet and almost immediate FC on google apps setup. So I just went back to MIUI.
P.S. I tried two different kinds of GAPPs. I tried the ones that come with CM7 rom in the ROM Manager and I tried another GAPPs I downloaded previously for Iceandfire. Just to experiment. Both failed in the same way.
Thanks for the try though. I would LOVE to see a real port of this rom. One of the best (if not the best) looking themes out right now.
I've ported MattedBlues to the G2 just for you guys. Pick it up at the official thread here.
The HTC Sense is opening , now .
Is there any DEV.S to make a Sense3.0 for MT3GS?
Is 3rd Sense 3.0? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839332
nope, it's sense 2.0
If you want to get Sense 3.0 you need to resize the whole rom which means to decompile all apks reduce the sizes of all pngs by 75% edit xml files and recompile all the apks... Which would take a very long time, so if you want be my guess... I would help if i could decompile a few apks but my pc is messing up and i dont have a way to backup to reformat

Hi,
is the only way to change the battery icon to extract the framework-res.apk from the rom and manipulate it or can it be done via flashable zip?
Id like the battery icon bar from leedroid hd and use it in runnymed rom.

Yeah - already been in the kittchen
But therefore I need to extract the system-files, too. Thought there was an easier way. Will try this anyway.
well you can swap images in .apks using winrar on a pc...
hey guys i read that many wanted htc's lockscreen without those shortcut icons.
So here I present it to you.
Instructions:
Just flash in CWM recovery and enjoy and also thank me.
just for stock sense roms (android 2.3.5)
Dont know if it will work on deodexed stock rom.
Purely works on odexed stock roms(android 2.3.5).
[DIY]
1.) Pull the HtcLockscreen.apk from system/app
2.) On your computer rename the file to Htclockscreen.zip .
3.) Open it using any archive manager and go to res/drawable-mdpi
4.) Extract png named lockscreen_shortcutpanel.png
5.) Edit it in any software which supports transparent pngs ( example paint.net on windows)
And make it completely transparent.
6.) Now again open Htclockscreen.zip and go to res/drawable-mdpi and exchange the file we edited.
7.) Now rename the archive to .apk and push it back to system/app on your phone.
8.) Now real part - when you'll restart you'll see the shortcuts- don't panic I am sure you did it right . This time the shortcuts won't have the background if you followed everything correctly.
9.) Install an app you know you'll never use.
10.) Change all the shortcuts to that app and........ And unistall that app and go see your beautiful lockscreen.
Please post and tell if it worked.
It will cause that is what the zip has and it worked on my friends wfs too.Also don't forget to thank me and share this with everyone who has sense with this type of lockscreen. You can post it any where just give me a little credit bcoz typing a tutorial on phone kills fingers
not working on deodexed rom's

Only Sense 3.5 has this feature... HTC's lockscreen (Sense 2.1 one) is buggy in WFS. I'll try it when I install Sense ROM again.
Won't flash for me.
Gives error 0
Installation aborted
Looks nice though, if you have any idea why, I'd be grateful.
Don't know man but if you say I'll create another package and pm you the link
I used app2 zip for making it .
Works for me all the time .
Currently on cm9 so why don't u just try extracting and copying the three files to the internal memory.
And thanks for the sense keyboard its easier to type now.

Added a DIY for those having problem. Well I edited the app on my phone cause I live in hostel and don't have a computer.
@ONeill123 - seems like you had been searching for this since january. Use the DIY and make it for yourself. Sorry can't help more than that. Not too much familiar with odex and deodex terms.
