[MOD][ROOT] Acer lockscreen (and possible Acer Ring) - Acer Iconia Tab A100

Thanks to the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23385681&postcount=5 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23492678&postcount=6 , we're able to get the Acer lockscreen on our A100/A101.
The Ring icon appears on the action bar, but pressing it doesn't do anything, I think its because the screen resolution is not compatible (Acer Ring made for 1280x800 A500/A501 or A200).
Already tried changing the LCD density but still no effect.
So far we can only get the lockscreen, but it's a big timesaver since we can pin 4 shortcuts to the lockscreen, and we are able to remove the camera shortcut which is hardcoded in vanilla ICS lockscreen.
Instruction:
1. Download AcerRing.apk from http://db.tt/DjOdDptj
2. Copy AcerRing.apk to /system/app/
3. Add these lines to build.prop:
Code:
acer.shell.mode=ENABLED
acer.shell.launcher.mode=ANDROID
acer.shell.contacts.mode=ENABLED
4. Reboot!

Just tried this out and it works perfectly, very slick indeed, not sure I like the omission of the Roboto-styled lockscreen clock, but that's fine
The lockscreen works great, no problems, I have the ring enabled, just because it looks nice on my status bar
Great work, thanks!

Got it installed and all but every time i try to set the lockscreen shortcuts system settings fc's

Did you make sure that the permissions were the same as the surrounding apps? You can change the permissions with a long press in root explorer. Permissions for my AcerRing.apk are read for all three groups and write for owner.

checked the permissions and they were fine, it just forces system to close

I added it the build prop from the dev sec and it works like a charm

Cant get it to work, even installed another version. Wenever i try to set the shortcuts it juss boots me out. I think it has something todo with the app itself not being able to write to system on reboot but then again it worx for u guys so dunno...

Update: Got it to work guys! I did a full wipe since I was going to install cwm but I cant find thors file right now so I decided to try while waiting

[Q] Are there any CM7 custom lockscreens

Simple question is there a custom cm7 lockscreen? I found one for metamorph but I can't seem to get it too work. I have it morphed in but for some reason a no go.
Here is what I tried: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602&page=85
You have to put the morph you want in the android themes folder open metamorph and hit extract new theme and then apply all sometimes you have to do it twice then reboot

I've never had good luck with metamorph, it seems really buggy to me. I'd like to get some lockscreen customization too, but I just haven't found a very good solution.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
May not be what you want to do, but Widget Locker will allow you to do pretty much anything you want to your lockscreen. Using CM 7 you can also go into the settings for Tablets and disable the stock lock screen. It works out pretty well.

Transparent lockscreen

I don't know how this works but I've tested it twice and both times it works!
I'm on teshxx stock rom.
How to get a transparent lockscreen like this below:
1. Set a picture from your gallery as your lockscreen
2. Boot into recovery (adb or volup + voldown + power)
3. Advanced > Fix permissions
Voila you should have an transparent lockscreen.

I don't think I'll be using this mod, but I must say that is a very cool design. Thanks for your contribution.

Easier way would be to just use a picture that is half transparent...
That's what I do and you don't need to reboot into recovery ect.

Awesome find OP. Worked perfectly for me.
Haha. I was playing with my phone yesterday and in the process got the transparent lockscreen, and I could not figure out how I did it, but now I know because I did a wipe and fixed permissions before it happened. Thanks OP.
awesome did the trick
thanks a lot.
None of this is really needed, just get a transparent image from google or use a photoshop to make one and set it as the lockscreen wallpaper.
M&S
What img format do I save it as for 50% transp?? I tried a png but it just shows up black in the gallery and after I set it.

App to No lockscreen??

Anyone know of a good no lockscreen app that really works at all times? I tried using the no lock by BoD in market but doesn't work all the time. It worked good on my G2, G2x it was working good either... Now with sgs2 either.. And also, doesn't touchwiz suppose to have the puzzle unlock, or is that other version or carrier version or overall a different lockscreen?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Go Locker.
Might as well install GoSMS and Go Launcher too while your at it.
Touchwiz does have puzzle lock. Go to Locations and Security in the Settings -> Change screen lock.
Haha yes I agree install Go launcher as well
I meant, the puzzle as to actual puzzles being put together to unlock.. Not the connect a dot

You can see in this video the puzzle unlock, I thought touchwiz had it..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
That video is the Galaxy S not S2.
The S2 only comes with either dots or keypad.
Buy it's regular lockscreen, no password or pin needed, either way I thought it came with touchwiz.. Because the simple lockscreen they made sucks. Looks like sheet of paper to slide off and unlock and I do not want to use 3rd party app

Hi,
You can disable the lock screen without any app if edit this file /efs/imei/keystr with HexEditor. open the file and there is vales 4f and 4e that gives you the ON just change the 4e to 46 that will make it OF. save the file and reboot. that will disable the lock screen.
samsung needs to release a patch to address the lockscreen disappearing bug. It is too easy to bypass the lockscreen pin or pattern draw. I want to get this phone but might try to hold off until this is addressed.

accuweather transparent widget

Does anybody have the transparent widget that works with the ics update. I miss that... The blue color widget is horrible but the functionality is cool
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I agree

here is the .apk for the semi-transparent weather widget. It's made to match the digital clock. i been using this with the stock rooted ics rom. i would show a screenshot but the i'm having trouble capturing a screenshot on a stock rom. amazing how i took that feature for granted when i had the option available in the advanced power menu in other roms.
just make sure to set the permissions to rw-,r--,r--
Almost forgot... this might go without saying for some.. but this gotta be pushed using root explorer. Don't try to install normally
my first ever custom apk... hope it works out for all
Would you happen to have the calendar version in semi-transparent ?

what i did was use root uninstaller app to remove the older one. there are 2 accuweather apps remove the one that is bigger in size. then use root explorer to drop the app in the system/app folder. reboot your phone and the app should be installed perfectly.
now simply add the new widget.:good:

[REQ] AOSP / CM 10.1 Lockscreen

Is it possible to swap the sony lockscreen for the cm 10.1 lockscreen?
tbe 3rd party apps seem to always be buggy and coming from htc i am missing the app launching from the lockscreen...
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
you can switch to the stock lockscreen for 4.1, just simply mount system as R/W and delete /system/app/UxpNxtLockScreen.apk
This works
Now quest no. 2: how do i set up the shortcuts on the lockscreen?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
It s work fine exept wallpaper we cannot choose wallpaper andbthis is not in fullscreen....if someone find an issue....
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yes size is not correct...and we can't choose wallpaper
Yeah,the sizing is not correct ,any solution guys?
Here's a little mod I've made and have been using for a while now.
It fixes the sizing and music controls.
Just put it in /vendor/overlay and set permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--) and reboot.
Get it here.
NB! .434 only, won't work on .253

Using lockscreen with PIN code
Hi guys!
I wanted to know if this mod (or really, any type of lockscreen; included the Sonys default one) could be used accompanied with a PIN code. I still can't figure it out how, and I don't really like third party apps.

^ no. if you really want double lock go download "widget locker" from the play store. Go set your pin/pattern, then set up widget locker and you will end up with double locks.
Hey guys.
I deleted UxpNxtLockScreen.apk and rebooted, and have the AOSP lockscreen.
However I can't change wallpaper and/or shortcuts on the lockscreen.
I tried mod by Terenn, but I get a bootloop. When I delete that file, I can boot again.
So while deleting Sonys default lockscreen does work and gives AOSP lockscreen, I would like to change shortcuts and wallpapers. Any other options?

Woah! This is not for Xperia z .253 ! Just rescued myself from a little bootloop !
Yeah, we need a new mod for the .253...
Well new .307 fw is out, could someone make that Terenn mod compatible for us, maybe even add option to customize shortcuts?
