Need help with Lockscreen - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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...

thread for status bar icons?

i know theres a great thread for softkey mods and an awesome wallpaper thread, but is there a thread thats dedicated to status bar icon images that can be flashed via metamorph?
not yet, no
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i like the stock icons designs. i could just go for color options that custom roms already have
This is what I been thinking of when I saw the nexus color dash soft keys. Not sure If some one could do something like this
my paint skills are above par.

im going to try and make a metamorph file for it, but hopefully someone beats me to it cause i have no idea what im doing. -making nandroid-
Edit #1 : ok, i think i figured it out...hopefully...here it goes
Edit #2 : no good. does anyone have a metamorph file for just the status bar icons
Edit #3 : giving another go. forgot to name the icons to the proper name :-X
the wifi icons are a bit on the large side... and i dont have every image in there so i certain times it looks funny cause another icon kicks in. anyone know of any more complete sets?

[Q] Create own widget apps

I'm looking for an app which works the same way as "UCCW" but with memory stats feed and the feature to add a desired image as background. Memory feed as in how much space I got left on my phone and SD card (wouldnt mind RAM feed as well). I'm also looking for a way to create a widget which I'm able to change the image in every percentage.
I know that "make your own clock pro" have the memory feature but youre unable to add your own image.
Does this ring any bells? Thanks in advance!

That would be a great if you were able to add your own images to it xD

I saw a widget like that on the Post your homescreen thread or I think the What does your MIUI look like thread in the Android Themes Section. But its a long time now. Maybe you can ask it there as most of them is friendly.

or you can just mod the wallpaper to include the images, then use something like UCCW or minimalistic text to add the dynamic stats

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

Delete, please (double post)
I have been searching this long time and as nobody seem interested, try to do it by myself, but my knowledge is very limited and hasn't been able to make transparent the scroolable background....
There is, anyway, a black version out here, so it shouldn't be that dificult to change it to transparent.
In case someone with a little experience want to try, I attach cwm zips for both versions regular (white) and inverted (black)

I have already read better instructions here at XDA and also follow it without problems, being able to make transparent top and bottom ofthe widget (9.png files), but I'm nearly new in Android and unable to find the way to make transparent the scrollable background (where the messages list reside) and also to change text of messages to white.
I suppose that colours for that are defined in xlm files and search for it inside the apk folders, but none of the changes I made works.
Maybe the fellow who make the inverted version could send some light for us...

Sorry, but I haven't made the Inverted version. I get it in the Gmail 4.2 leak thread where it was posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32764939&postcount=41
And credits goes there to travp624, but I haven't find any post by this guy regarding the mod.
Maybe latter will try to find his profile and PM him for advice...

Replacing notification dropdown image with custom wallpaper. (Jedi X12)

Hello, am trying to customize the notification dropdown on my Jedi X12 ROM, using the NinjaMorph app, to replace the image within the
"framework-res.apk" to a custom image. I'm having an issue identifying which file it is within the apk. Does anyone know the file name for the graphic? Or perhaps an easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Any help is greatly appreciated

It may be a color code as opposed to an image... you will likely need to look through the relevant statusbar_expanded layout xml (or maybe even in drawables.xml).
