[Q] AOKP rom, how to dim lockscreen? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello, all
I'm so love in [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean) 3rd Release! Task & Ktoonsez (10/3) (AT&T/Rogers), but the only thing that bothering me was that the lockscreen is not dimmed at all and it plainly shows the wallpaper.
I won't mind if I don't use the "weather" or "calender" feature showing up on the lock screen, however It is really hard to choose the right font color without the dimmed lockscreen to show the "weather" and "calender" clearly.
So what I wanted to ask was, if there's anyway to dim lockscreen?
Thanks!!

did you try looking into lockscreen settings?

Of course I did.
Oh, sorry about my bad English .. I think I should have asked for 'transparency' not 'dimming'

Okay, so I found the solution.
The problem was I've chosen the custom lockscreen wallpaper.
Once you choose your own lockscreen wallpaper, the lock screen shows the wallpaper itself covered by the 'calendar' and 'weather', if those are enabled.
So I resetted the custom lockscreen wallpaper and now I can see the 'weather' and 'calendar' on the little bit of darker background so that allows me to read more easily.

Change Lock screen wallpaper?

Hey guys is there a way I can have a different wallpaper for the lockscreen than that of the homescreen? I know there was an option for this on the GSII under settings/ display, but I can't seem to find a solution for the GNex. Thanks in advance

That feature is not available on stock Android.

Only thing I can think of is WidgetLocker
an app called multi-picture live wallpaper can do this for you:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
it allows you to have a different wallpaper for various home screens and also lets you choose one for the lockscreen. I personally use the same wallpaper for each homescreen, so this app is just giving me a custom lock wallpaper.
Might be preferable over widgetlocker if you don't want to add any widgets to your lockscreen and prefer a stock feel.

[MOD] Lock Screen with live wallpapers.

Hi there is a way to have a lockscreen with live wallpapers. Its very easy just rename the LockScreen3.apk to LockScreen3.apk.bak, or just freeze it in titanium backup. I tough I share it if anyone interested. Again have a nandroid backup just in case.
When you first set it it is going to be see-through. The see-through part will go away after restart.

HI, have you run into any problems with this. I like to use live wall papers and having one on my lockscreen would be cool. Does it work with any live wall paper?:silly:

That's exactly what I don't want. I want to be able to set my lockscreen to a live wallpaper and my homescreen to a picture.

You can't, like I said a few posts prior. Hopefully someone will come up with a mod to make this possible

Live wall paper as lock screen

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to set a live wallpaper as a lock screen. I know you can use widget locker and set the wallpaper on your background and it will show up on the lock screen as well, not looking for that. Any help would be awesome thanks.

On a TWiz ROM, go into Display settings->wallpaper, select "desktop and lockscreen". Select "live wallpapers"....Profit.

Don't quite get what you're asking.
You can extend any lock screen widget by holding and dragging it down, is this what you mean?

Sounds like you need a custom rom.
Pretty sure you need a ROM like AOSPA (Paranoid Android) where you can change the lockscreen and/or DashClock widget DPI.
For example on my lockscreen I have my DashClock widget set to 200dpi which is easy enough to read and have in fullscreen mode without overlapping or disappearing due to the pin lock which is set at 250dpi

How could I remove everything on my lock screen?

I'm currently using Nova on my Galaxy, and I'd like to know how I could remove the alarm clock info, the taskbar(if could make it transparent that would be fine also), the T-Mobile text (it doesn't show in the picture, but it's there), and the way when I pull down it shows that useless box/outline. I'd prefer to keep Nova as well. I don't want anything on my lock screen.

Are you rooted?

Nova doesn't control the lockscreen at all, look in the system settings for lockscreen options. And if your ROM supports transparent notification's bar then under Nova settings (May be a Nova Prime only feature) there should be an option for transparent notification bar support.
Yes, I'm rooted.

There's no in system lock screen option to make it transparent, or at least I can't find it. In nova there is, but it only makes it transparent in the home screen, not lock screen.
