Thought i'd pay something back for all i've learned here on xda-developers (something simple, i'm still learning ). So here are some transparent lockscreens for various roms. The lockscreens are completely transparent (10% opacity) except for the clock and the charging indicator. The files below are for unmodded / unthemed roms. If you want one for your theme, or one not in the list below, let me know.
Thanks to Lg_X_Modderer for pointing me in the right direction about how to make the lockscreen transparent. Thanks to everyone else who explained how to edit apk's and make flashable zip's etc.
Install through CMW from recovery.
If you previously have set a lockscreen wallpaper through the gallery, remove the file from /data/data/com.cooliris.media/files (with for example root-explorer).
Use at own risk, do a nandroid backup before flashing.

If you want to do it yourself, here's how:
I use notepad++ for editing, but any editor will work. Use apkmanager to decompile / compile framework-res.apk.
Edit res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="@color/background_dark" with android:background="@drawable/default_wallpaper".
In line 5 replace android:background="#30000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In line 12 replace android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip" to android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip".
Edit res/layout/zzz_keyguard_screen_lockscreenwallpaper.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="#ff000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In res/drawable-hdpi:
Replace default_wallpaper.jpg with default_wallpaper.png. Replace zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg with transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png (can be any png size 480x800).
Thats it.
sir, just a question...
currently, i have achieved a transparent lockscreen by setting a transparent picture file as my lockscreen wallpaper.
may i ask, what would be the difference with your method?
thank you in advance.
Well, according to this post, that didn't work. So i made changes to the framework-res.apk following Lg_X_Modderer's instructions and made the flashable zip's.
Well this is exactly what ive been wanting for my clear glass theme.
Wasnt able to achieve it myself. Can you make it work for my theme?
What do you need? the framework-res.apk?
Thanks alot.
Yes, the framework-res.apk is all I need.

Thanks matey.
Here it is. Can you tell me which xml it is also because soon im going to be changing framework to a more tweaked one but thats not ready yet.
Then i can just swap the xml.

Forgot to ask, is this for a odexed or deodexed rom? I'll include instructons when i return the file. Also got this when i decompiled your framework-res.apk: "Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/status_bar_item_background_pressed.9.png". Renaming it to *.png". This needs fixing.
Oh im just fixing that file now. must have slipped by.
Villain 2.4.2 is deodexed i believe. Ill just check.
Im going to upload the fixed framework in a min.
Edit : ok .9png fixed. i just tested, decompiles fine.
And its Deodexed.
Thanks again and sorry about the mess up.

edit : small question, does that mean any wallpaper i set will be transparent or only the default one?
Every wallpaper you set using the gallery will have a black background. Haven't found a way to do that yet.

As far as i know every rom without transparent lockscreen support will display a black background that way. Atleast it does on lite'ning 6.1 (which i'm using right now).
ok cool. only problem im having is that it keeps my current lockscreen wallpaper and doesnt revert to the framework one. how do I put it back to the default one?
Browse to /data/data/com.cooliris.media/files and delete or move the current wallpaper file. (Atleast that works for me)
Thanks for the info. Maybe that could go on the first page to avoid confusion.
All working perfectly though. As a transparency maniac I love this!
Now I just need to figure out how to make backgrounds for contacts, mms, settings and phone transparent.
Heres a screenshot, add it to the front page, dont, your call.

Is it possible to use the UOT Kitchen with the SGS II by removing the framework and systemUI apks from the system dump in the development section?
You can use UOT, I used it for a couple of the mods on this, only reccomendation is to pull the apk's from your phone as the system dump is from an older pre-release software
Nice work

Would be good to have the old TV box effect on lock - i thought I saw it in an earlier version. Has it been removed from this one?

you can use uot kitchen, but use framework-res.apk from villain rom as the base.

All thanks goes to :

You can apply it in recovery mode.

what about the SystemUI? I tried using framework-res.apk from villainrom as the base, but same thing happened... the status/notification bar dissappeared. I just wanted to change the battery icon..
after a little exploration, I manage to overcome it by replacing the .png files of the batt icon.. but still, I wonder how you guys manage to use UOT without dissappearing the notif bar
you can use KPE base at UOT, but after finished with UOT, then you copy the image manually from framework-res & systemUI generated from UOT to framework-res & systemUI at villainrom

WOOOW great ! THANX
easy to install, really beautyful icons. love it.
thank you verry much drgopoos.
thanks for the great work
actually it's kind easy to make these
you just have to pull the original apk from your rom that contains the icons and take what ever themed apk you like then:
1-extract the themed apk with 7-zip
2-open the original apk with 7-zip and i mean just open do not extract
3-check the folders for the icon you want then select all the icons that you need (but do not select any XML file) and then drag them to same folder in the original apk
4-make sure to drag the icons to the correct folder otherwise it will not work
5-replace the apk to its folder on the device or if you have a flashable zip then put it in the correct folder in the flashable zip then flash it with CWM
this is how i do it to get my themed apks

As close as I could get it. I took the signal bars .Png file out of cognition and opened it in photoshop. Hovering the mouse over these bars gave me a color code which I used to bake it. It should be very close but looks a touch off. I think it is because of the white letters and border of the batt icon... like an optical illusion. I left the color code at my office or else id have you try it out too. But I think it looks good enough to keep.

ok, here is the correct file for the gingerbread battery with the green matching.
Well I have modified the the theme provided by Lovetz and found out a way to make CRT screen animation work. Samsung had disabled the CRT animation but the program is still there in Our ROM.
Working only for CODEROM but will try to add for other ROMS later.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
Theme modifications:
1. Dark MIUI+TouchWiz(only some parts are of TouchWiz)
2. TouchWiz dropdown quickpanel with slightly modified notification and transparent background.
3. Lightweight and fast. (even the scrolling on android frameworks)
4. ENABLED CRT ANIMATION.
How to apply theme:
1. Download the attached zip.
2. Copy to root of SD card.
3. Get into recovery.
4. Apply update and select this zip.
5. Reboot.
Voila. You have the theme. Well even if you didnt like the theme i will try to make orginal theme with working CRT animation. Till then please do adjust.
THEMES:
1. Download and update "coderom_Default.zip" for original theme.
2. Download and update "coderom_MIUIWiz" for this theme.
NOTE: Applying themes is optional. I just gave a theme of mine for fun. But if you just want to enable the screen animations then continue reading and follow the steps given below.
FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENABLE CRT ANIMATION WITHOUT CHANGING THEME IN CODEROM:
Just follow the steps given below regarding build.prop and probably if there is no mistake then it should work.
How to enable CRT animation:
1. Pull out "build.prop" using adb or copy it to your comp using Root Explorer. Modify it as suggested ahead. It resides in /system/build.prop .
2. Open build.prop and modify one(or two on coderomnexus) of the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #.
3. Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer it doesnt matter.
4. Now apply any of the themes provided below using the steps given above.
5. Reboot phone.
NOTE: If the CRT animation is not working after reboot then reapply theme after you have modified your build.prop and try to reboot and see. And also enable all animations or some animations in Settings->Display->Animation for CRT animation to work.
NOTE: If you cannot follow the instructions given here please follow the link given below.

Hope this works for all of you.
Any problems please comment. And i do hope many other developers use my theme and make newer or older theme with the CRT animation enabled as i cannot do it all by myself.
Please click Thanks if this post helped you.

Nice, great work.
But could you explain what changes you made exactly to enable CRT animation? That would make it easier to implement it in the variety of ROMs that are out there.
i prefer original one. can i follow ur tutorial to get CRT working in original theme? thanx

Hey man. I too use the Code rom without the theme by lovetz
Just don't install the Update file. Assuming you have rooted yor phone, this is what you should doIt worked for me! And believe me its awesome!!!)
1. Open root explorer.
2.Goto system and copy build.prop to your sdcard.
3.Transfer the build.prop file to windows and open it with wordpad (not notepad)
4. Do as he says(ie the code change)
5.put it back on your system/ using root explorer, and reboot. Remember to enable all animations in settings>display>animations
Thank me!!! (ie. press thx button)

I have added the original theme too. But if you can understand what manju991 says then do what he says.
@manju991- Thanks man but one thing, i changed my build.prop with a freshly flashed coderom but i went into a bootloop. This happened to me many a times. Thats why i tried to try different xmls and try to make screen animation work. Did you have the same problem?
do this trick working on codenexus rom? coz lovet's theme didn't work, (i got force close after install)

Well AFAIK this will surely not work in nexus ROM. But if you know something about apktool and etc you can try to extract framework-res.apk and change one xml boolean value and do the same build.prop edit. There are many threads regarding nexus on this topic.

no, it's not nexus rom i mean but codenexus, the v2 of coderom. it's same with coderom v1 but with ext4 support and some tweaks. i thought it's use same framework but when i install the theme i got force close on my screen and setting menu is missing from app drawer.
I am using CodeROM with Glowing crisis theme and did the trick of Manuj and did not work.
did you? what error are you getting? Did you enable all the animations?
work perfectly i tried in default theme. just edit in root explorer
#debug.sf.hw=1 <--- got 2 lines of this. one somewhere in the middle and one at 5th from the last.
important is make sure u go to setting -> display -> enable all animation !
its work, just edit in root explorer,.. thx
but the animation just too fast, is it possible to slow it down a bit?

man did you enable all animations in settings>display>animation... try that
got the same entry almost at the bottom of build.prop
btw: using the miui-theme with codeROMnexus (updated version of coderom) screws up my ace. settings get deletetd and i cant enter it on other ways, also status bar gets lost. but with default theme it works, ill stick with that

Hi Everyone,
i saw the White Themed Cataclysm thread and i fell in love with the white stuff (actually i was already in love with it since my Xperia) and i couldn't rest until i managed to theme it for myself.

Instructions:
just flash the zip with recovery. make sure to make a backup before flashing.
if you are on odexed rom, not to worry, i'm on odex as well, but i deodexed the settings.apk, so just do the same thing and make sure you delete your settings.odex file (make a copy of that, too, in case you wanna go back, you'll need it).
Old instructions:
attached you can find the apk file. just download, unzip and copy it over with any file manager (that can write the system folder), set persmissions (644), reboot and you're good to go.
make sure to backup the original apk.
the settings apk is located in system/priv-app/ folder.

Known bugs:
- you tell me
Red! Theme
this is a beta and it does NOT contain the settings app, so you have to flash that individually.
Screenshots:
Instructions:
flash white settings first, doesn't really matter which one but i recommend to use the grayscaled version (unless you have any of them already flashed), then flash the Red! theme. it's important to flash Red! last, since with the other mods, you overwrite the framework and you lose the red theme.
If you are on odexed rom and haven't used any mods for Settings.apk & SystemUI.apk, then make sure the delete the .odex files for these two apps from system\priv-app folder!
Change log:
beta 1
- first release for testing but surely can be used as daily driver, there are some minor bugs though.
Download:
Beta 1
====================================================================================================
I don't like this mod, take me back to the original!
Revert Zips - thanks to 22sl22
Get them here: http://d-h.st/users/22sl22/?fld_id=31862#files
This is odexed stock but if you are running deodex just delete the odex (from the zip).
Clear cache/dalvik is recommended
Flash away & Enjoy
====================================================================================================
Disclaimer:
THIS IS FOR 4.4.2 STOCK - but might work on older/other 4.4 roms as well. Do this on your own risk, i'm not responsible for any damage you do by applying this mod. CREATE A BACKUP before flashing!
if you like these themes, feel free to buy me a beer (though i don't drink beer )

If you have used apktool go in "res/xml/settings _ headers.xml" to find out what icon uses, but I think it's this icon because there aren't others printing icons

hi i'm having problems with my default settings app.
i just have rooted my nexus 4 and changed the default font and i forgot to creat a backup...and now i can't open the Settings.
with this mod the settings app will be fixed?what do u think?and what program should i use to move the folder to the system?
thanks in advance.
Can you change "add account" and home pngs? They are white on white so it's not possible to see them well

i tried to change the add account image in the xml, but doesn't seem to have effect for some reason - i can't understand though why, the png is there and it did change for the first time :S if i change the png, i'm afraid, i'll screw up something else...
for the bins on the home settings, i'll look into it, didn't check that before, sorry
ps: i guess i figured what the problem is: whenever i change the settings_header.xml, it seems, it doesn't change when i recompile the apk and therefore those 2 icons are not getting changed, even though i do the edit. :S strange.
Donjamal, I noticed another thing that need to be changed
Look at the picture

hi,
i used root explorer to move it around but if you have recovery, i suggest to flash the newer version.
if you changed the font, i don't think, this will have any effect on that. you might have to wipe dalvik & cache.

don't know, possible of course though. i tried it several times now and still no effect. i can even add new png resources and stuff, but it doesn't change anything in the xml :S
i just decompiled the apk and it's there now but it still doesn't change in the apk itself. i guess then it might be smali.
for the add account icon, this is what i change:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_add_light" android:id="@id/account_add" android:title="@string/add_account_label">
<intent android:action="android.settings.ADD_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS" />
</header>

Unfortunately not working with Purity ROM I've been looking for such mod for a long time but don't want to change rom.
When I extract the settings.apk to system/priv-app settings won't open... It just happens nothing. When I flash the flashable zip via CWM I get a bootloop. What a shame... I really like this mod!

After replacing the backed up settings.apk the Problem remained. Fixed it with reflashing the rom. Weird...
