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

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.

Yeah, i was wondering about that too. As all themes this as well could be created. Question is, where you need to put the file. Guess it must be stored in an accessible dir somewhere. Injecting a new theme there should work i guess.

They work apparently (thread title).
Just install the .apk you downloaded.
You need flashing for the framework mod, rooted device, it tells in the instructions, if i read it right

I stand corrected. I thought he meant the skins for Sense thing.
You could install the frameworks without root though, by using wpthis.ko
(I think it's .ko)
Just run it, then adb push the framework to /system/framework.
You may need temp-root for this.
But of course, temp-root ain't perm-root
I figured it out. You have to add the framework into a flashable .zip - if anyone would like any of the status bars, let me know and ill upload the .zip's

You can check out the link posted earlier in the thread to download the .apk's containing skins. In order to get different status bar icons, you'll need to flash a new framework file via .zip in recovery. The frameworks can be applied to any skin you wish.
I'm currently using the Froyo status bar and am loving it. The best part is having the actual battery percentage overlaying the battery icon. I've uploaded the flashable .zip for this one if you'd like to give it a try. Just install via recovery (dont forget to make a backup if you want to restore to default).

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

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

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

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.
First of all, credits should go to nims11 for this. I pm him and asking how to do that, it worked so I thought to write an extensive tutorial about this. Of course I am not held responsible if something goes wrong, read carefully instructions though it's quite simple, don't mind long explanation, is meant for new users too.
STATUS BAR TRANSPARENCY - WHAT YOU NEED!!!
1. This was tested on CM7.2 on both deodexed and odexed version. Also will work on ICS2. Probably will work on CM7.1 too but haven't tried this. Don't ask me if this will work on other modded versions of CM7.2, I don't know, and I am not willing to try.
2. You need a theme that supports transparency in status bar like Meizu, LunarUI, MIUI, Naked Simplicity, Orion and much more. Theme list can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167075
3. You need ADW Launcher along with theme to make this work. Remember to uncheck wallpaper hack in system preferences.
4. You need Root Explorer or similar app to be able to do have root access.
5. Before proceed with the method, backup SystemUI.apk from system/app (deodexed version) or both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (odexed version). A simple copy/paste to your sd card will also do the job.
PROCEDURE FOR HAVING TRANSPARENCY IN STATUS BAR
DEODEXED VERSION
1. Download this file http://www.uploadking.com/V7YWUIJ3UO and transfer to your SD Card (any directory)
2. Use Root Explorer and COPY file
3. Go to system/app --> Press the Mount R/W button on top of screen --> Now Paste. A message pops up to confirm that you want to overwrite file. Press Yes.
4. You will then get a message that systemui stopped responding. DON'T WORRY. Hold power button till phone reboots
5. When it reboots you won't have status bar. DON'T WORRY, IT'S MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS.
6. Use again Root Explorer, go to system/app, press again the Mount R/W button --> then find file SystemUI.apk --> Long press it till a menu pops up --> Click Permissions, it should be as this http://imageshack.us/f/843/screenshot1323167924787.png/ So permissions under file should be as rw-r-r
7. Reboot phone --> YOU'RE DONE.
ODEXED VERSION
The procedure is exactly the same as deodexed version BUT BEFORE DOING THIS YOU NEED TO DELETE SystemUI.odex from system/app using Root Explorer and having pressed the Mount R/W button in order to do so.
So when you're done and lets say you are using MIUI Theme it should look like this http://imageshack.us/f/856/screenshot1323169878975.png/. Different theme will have different icons or different transparency level, transparency is really theme dependant!
DON'T PANIC
1. If it doesn't work then probably you did something wrong
2. Remember that you have backed up original files so you're safe
ALTERNATIVE METHOD VIA CWM (as nims11 suggested) - ODEXED VERSION ONLY!!!

Also, a tip as a small contribution for people who don't like adw launcher like me. If you want to have a transparent status bar while using a different launcher then you need to download multi picture live wallpaper from the market. Set your prefered wallpaper through multi picture live wallpaper and the status bar is transparent no matter what launcher you're using
yes it work... also nims maybe you can give us your transparency bar with center clock system UI too... it would be awesome... thx

I think you must extract SystemUI.apk using apktool. and find value @drawable/statusbar_background then replace with @color/transparent find in some files with xml extension. I recommend to use notepad++ for editing xml extension.

Use multipicture live wallpaper and transparent theme.
From where i can download and install only the lockscreen (and maybe with all the settings and customization) that's in the latest FXP 129 - CM 9.0? I've been searching this forum and i didn't find so far what im interested.
Thanx
not sure if theres a way to change it without changing full rom...
could be wrong though
i use widget locker from the market
pretty good and does the job excellently with customisation
What rom are you using? If you're on stock 4.0.4 (.431 build) you can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702338
It will make your stock rom to have an AOSP look. However, if you just want the circular lockscreen just copy the framework-res.apk and move it to /system/framework. Don't forget to change the permissions.
Thanx a lot! I'll give it a try!

Hey,
Before I begin, to say, share and help anyone, I want to state that this is NOT my work.. I have not in any way made this or helped the dev in making this.. I merely stumbled upon it while browsing the xda forums.. I don't even know who made it, all I had was a link.. I want to share this with the wildfire s community.. But as always there is a catch..(every thing is not easily gettable in life..)
Requirements:
1. Cm10, jelly bean versions only..(Paranoid Android not supported..)
2. Well, if you haven't guessed it already then root explorer and root access..
3. A good brain that understands the instruction and follows them correctly..
4. if you don't come under the above criterion its best advised get Cm10........
Now, their are two ways to do this..
1. either push the zip to root via recovery or adb..
2. or use the solid explorer beta2 app to put all the required files in the correct places in root with the permission rw-r-r(644)..
1
Now, I will assume you knw how to flash a zip.... then the steps that have to be followed are..
1. flash the zip in recovery..(please make a backup before flashing... don't blame me later if anything happens that shud not have happend..)
2. reboot..
3. select the default launcher.. as the SecLauncher2 one..
4. remove the old launcher via sold explorer or link2sd or titanium(optional)
Voila!! u have the touchwiz launcher installed up and running..
2
I had problem flashing it via recovery,( maybe you won't have the prob but just in case...)
1. extract the zip via solid explorer..
2. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\app and copy the apk to root\system\app folder... set permission rw-r-r(644)
3. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\etc\permissions folder and copy its constituents to root\system\etc folder... set permission rw-r-r(644)
4. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\framework copy the constituents their and paste them to root\system\framework folder.. set permission rw-r-r(644)
5. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\lib and copy the constituents their and paste them to root\system\lib folder.. set permission to rw-r-r(644)
6. reboot..
7. select the default launcher.. as the SecLauncher2 one..
8. remove the old launcher via sold explorer or link2sd or titanium(optional)
Voila!! u have the touchwiz launcher installed up and running..
Screenshots and zip at the end of the post..
Note:- for complete touchwiz look download the touchwiz 5 theme from playstore for cm10..(I did the same..)
Disclaimer: The above is not for someone who doesn't knw the first thing abt root.. and shud not go ahead and try this.. If anything happens to your device, you have yourself to blame...
Developers: All Cm10 devs if you read this than a small request, the launcher included in the cm10 version is eating 13 mb, where as this launcher eat only 4 mb.. thus freeing up much needed space.. I would request you to consider merging this in your next release...
Ps- any feedback regarding the launcher is welcome.. I am using it.. You'all shud go ahead and use it too if you like touchwiz...
Credits:
1. to the guy who made this kudos man.. (from what I could make out frm the zip name, its somebody named pico.. so if ur reading it then please confirm and pm me..)
2. the users who'll try this and press the thanks button..
3. the cm10 team and developers for making cm10 compatible with our device...

Hey,
Before I begin, to say, share and help anyone, I want to state that this is NOT my work.. I have not in any way made this or helped the dev in making this.. I merely stumbled upon it while browsing the xda forums.. I don't even know who made it, all I had was a link.. I want to share this with the wildfire s community.. But as always there is a catch..(every thing is not easily gettable in life..)
Requirements:
1. Cm10, jelly bean versions only..(Paranoid Android not supported..)
2. Well, if you haven't guessed it already then root explorer and root access..
3. A good brain that understands the instruction and follows them correctly..
4. if you don't come under the above criterion its best advised get Cm10........
Now, their are two ways to do this..
1. either push the zip to root via recovery or adb..
2. or use the solid explorer beta2 app to put all the required files in the correct places in root with the permission rw-r-r(644)..

Now, I will assume you knw how to flash a zip.... then the steps that have to be followed are..
1. flash the zip in recovery..(please make a backup before flashing... don't blame me later if anything happens that shud not have happend..)
2. reboot..
3. select the default launcher.. as the SecLauncher2 one..
4. remove the old launcher via sold explorer or link2sd or titanium(optional)
Voila!! u have the touchwiz launcher installed up and running..

I had problem flashing it via recovery,( maybe you won't have the prob but just in case...)
1. extract the zip via solid explorer..
2. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\app and copy the apk to root\system\app folder... set permission rw-r-r(644)
3. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\etc\permissions folder and copy its constituents to root\system\etc folder... set permission rw-r-r(644)
4. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\framework copy the constituents their and paste them to root\system\framework folder.. set permission rw-r-r(644)
5. goto Touchwiz_5_JB_Pico\system\lib and copy the constituents their and paste them to root\system\lib folder.. set permission to rw-r-r(644)
6. reboot..
7. select the default launcher.. as the SecLauncher2 one..
8. remove the old launcher via sold explorer or link2sd or titanium(optional)
Voila!! u have the touchwiz launcher installed up and running..
Screenshots and zip at the end of the post..
Note:- for complete touchwiz look download the touchwiz 5 theme from playstore for cm10..(I did the same..)
Disclaimer: The above is not for someone who doesn't knw the first thing abt root.. and shud not go ahead and try this.. If anything happens to your device, you have yourself to blame...
Developers: All Cm10 devs if you read this than a small request, the launcher included in the cm10 version is eating 13 mb, where as this launcher eat only 4 mb.. thus freeing up much needed space.. I would request you to consider merging this in your next release...
Ps- any feedback regarding the launcher is welcome.. I am using it.. You'all shud go ahead and use it too if you like touchwiz...
