Shooter 5.5 ROM how-to question - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are a couple things that I want to do but I can't seem to figure out, and I've searched the 1200+ pages in the Shooter ROM thread, and there's nothing about a how-to guide. Is there even something like this written for ROMs normally, or are we just kind of left to our own devices, as it were?
Thanks.

I don't have 10 posts yet. Most of the time, I get completely lost trying to find my own answers on here, and I usually end up giving up at some point.
I don't really need a how-to on ROMs in general, but every ROM, and every UI is different. Like, how do I change the icons on my lock screen on my Shooter 5.5 build ROM? Questions like that, how do I do this or that, not really a question of how do I install it, how do I wipe my cache, that I usually just follow the instructions for the ROM, but after the ROM is installed. Some ROMs have more settings/tweaks/features, and some have less.
Do you know what I mean?

Some of the themes might do it for you..

Etc, that way, I can help you out and answer your questions in an organized fashion

I need help with:
How do I change the 4 icons on the HTC lock screen?
Can I change where it says "Team-Nocturnal" at the top of my screen to something else?
Can I change the stupid ring unlock to a left-to-right slide, while keeping the animated sense htc weather background?
That's about it, thanks again if you know how to change any of this stuff.

4 icons- Click personalize, then choose the lockscreen you currently have, it should say apply and settings under it. Click settings and ir should have the 4 little icons and you can click one and re assign it with a different app.
Change lockscreen ring- go to settings>tweaks>miscellaneous and then find lockscreen style. It should have the one you're looking for.
As for the team nocturnal thing,, can't help ya there. Im sure MBQ can tho

Thanks, although it's annoying to have to reboot to change my lockscreen style. And it appears that the lockscreen style is tied to the weather animation as the "HTC Sense" style. I really like how fast the "android" one is with it's side slider, but there's no weather animation. These things are never 100% what I want, and it's really annoying.
Whenever I click personalize, it just goes back to the home screen. I've read that this is a ROM issue, but I've done 3 roms so far, warmtwopointtwo, shooter, and cm7, and all 3 of them have this behavior, is there an app I can get, or is there some tweak I need to do to get that to work?

Can I get the "Fresh" styled launch bar on a different ROM?

For some reason I really like that launcher bar at the bottom of Fresh 0.5.3. But I'm curious to take another ROM for a spin just for the fun of it.
Is there a file or theme that I can use to put that launcher back? I can't seem to find one, but thought I'd ask to be sure.
TIA
Take it out of development and go into General or Q&A.
Search the market for launchers.
But I think this would be a development issue. It's a matter of if anybody else out there has noticed a mod or .zip that somebody has developed that changes only the style of the launcher bar. Not looking for ADW, ahome, or or another launcher apk. Just a .zip file. Just a random shot in the dark to the forum.
If it helps that bar is from espresso ui

It is a Metamorph, look it up on the market, or better yet, here on xda. basically it is an easy way to theme your phone.
I use to use fresh only because of the bar. Now I'm using DC ROM with the bar.

Yeah konikub makes it, sorry if spelt it wrong. Go check themes and apps he does a lot of good work. I can't post links yet but its somewhere
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Basically what you are looking for is an expresso rosie. There should be plenty of themes that you can apply that use that rosie. I know konikub has made a couple of themes for DC. I believe that at least one of them is expresso. May want to give that a shot.

Editing launcher pro with apktool?

I'm building a rom and want to use launcher pro for the launcher. I want to have a couple of widgets auto load after the rom is flashed and upon home screen loading. Is there a future or can someone help me out so I can change the default settings in the launcher? I know people can edit or change stuff with a simple long press, but I need to edit it beforehand so my theme will flow the way I want it to.

There's got to be a dev smart enough to tell me how to do this. Oddly enough, no responses yet

Maybe check other phones Q and A sections, I don't think a lot of DEV's check here often.
Thanks for the tip I'll check it out

Lock Screen Change

I've been searching the net for awhile bout changing lockscreens for my phone. and I can't really find a mod to change the lockscreen. I'm running cm7 and it has like 3 diff lockscreens, which is cool. but I was wondering is there anything I can do to change it to something different? I just figure maybe I'm missing something.

There are only so many ways one can unlock their phone, Widget Locker does, however, allow you to modify the look of your lockscreen and does allow you to make adjustments to unlock style.
I'm not really sure what you're asking so I can't give you a definitive answer.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I would highly recommend WidgetLocker. From my experience, it's totally light on resources and there are so many custom lock sliders out there to choose from. Plus WL has tons of customizations within the app itself. Check it out... but that's just my opinion...
+1 for recommending widgetlocker. As regards battery consumption, doesn't everything gobble up power like there's no tomorrow?
So yes it does lol. But alright i'ma get it.

{q} aosp lockscreen on touchwiz?

Hey Everyone
I was wondering if there is a flashable zip of JUST the AOSP lockscreen (ring-style) for our Touchwiz Galaxy S3's
I dont want to install WidgetLocker or the likes.
Thank you
Bump .. no answer
Does anyone know if there is a standalone 5 lockscreen mod I can flash, or something?
You need to do a little searching and looking around. Csrom has a choice for a aosp lock screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058032

perhaps if you read the OP's post you would understand he was asking for a flashable zip of just the aosp lockscreen, not a ROM with an aosp lockscreen. where on upndwn4par's thread is the link to a recovery flashable aosp lockscreen zip?
i know that users post on here all the time without searching, but dont be a smarta** until you've actually read the post. it makes us all look bad
I'm not being a smarta** . you don't have to try and be a white night. He's looking for a solution and left a very wide margin with " or something. " I posted a possible solution all you did was start an argument. Csrom is essentially stock touchwiz with mods so I'd say I gave a better solution than you which was nothing. If I was trying to be a smart a** I wouldn't of given anything helpful. Like you

This was unnecessary and I called you on it. Let's not give a backhanded solution. Relax and offer assistance without the commentary. If you have an issue, PM me. Otherwise, Cheers

If you have other mods already, you'll have to edit the smali, which is relatively easy if you use my guide to edit system apks:

There's also an app that called widget locker lockscreen which will give you the aosp lock screen.

My apologizes. I missed the part about not wanted widget locker.

Changing clock in notification bar

Hey all I was looking at alternative Clock apps and found Timely and I was wondering if their is a way to make it the default clock app to open when I single click the clock in the status bar? If it's possible a quick how to would be awesome! Since the app can sync across all android devices, I want to apply the same setting to the status bar clock (if possible) on my Nexus 7 tablet (1 generation) as well. I'm running [ROM][SPH-D710][JB][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 Official Nightly Builds on my phone and Official Cm10.1.3 on the Nexus 7. All help is much appreciated!

Disclaimer: This is based on AOKP, I'm pretty sure it's this way under CM too, but not 100%, so I apologize if this doesn't work for you
Settings => Rom Control => Clock (under statusbar)
Then you can change the actions for clock short click, clock long click, and clock double click.

CM doesnt have Rom control in the settings
You can try to backup and delete the CM clock and see if timely pops up. It's worth a shot.

Tried this as well but the status bar just continuously force closes till I restore the clock

It requires to re-map the clock to the timely app, then. Which is beyond my knowledge.
Is the long-click stuff mentioned here helpful? https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-962
Based on my linux skillz, it does seem like their should be some way to do this via symlinking, but I can't even find the clock app in the places the other apps seem to live, so I don't know how to go about doing this, sorry

Heh actually the guy was asking the same question as I am. The long press I already knew about I just want to click on the clock app and it use my clock. The forum also said what I knew that older versions of cm allowed it but for some reason 10.1 doesn't or at least I don't know how to access it
