Can you change lockscreen background?

Hi all, I am running CM 10.1 (4.2.1) with Nova Launcher. I was wondering is there a way to change the lock screen background? instead of it showing my desktop wallpaper.
Thanks!

I don't think so..

I can on AOKP with that enabled (self promotion) like mine seriously though, some have it just have to dig around

Lock Screen Slideshow

Have you ever seen the idle screen on a Mac where you can set it to show a Slideshow of pictures? Well is there any way to do that on Android? I really liked it on the Mac haha

LAG:: Transparent app drawer.

Am i the only one who notices the bad transition lag from pressing app drawer while viewing blinkfeed? It happens when you install transparent app drawer. It happening now that I installed Dark Theme. I know someone else has to notice this, i've seen it do this on multiple phones, its very obvious when pressing app drawer and viewing blinkfeed with transparent app drawer installed.
--This is not a Dark Theme specific Issue this is a Transparent app drawer issue. I am 100% certain this is an issue and not just my specific phone, i've seen 3 different phones do this with the same scenario. And after removing transparent app drawer it corrects itself.

It may be in how app drawer was achieved, i have had trans app drawer since i rooted the htc one on sprint(and on the htc lte sense 5 port) and i have no lag when going from blinkfeed to app drawer and back

To help with the lag when using trans app drawer? No i believe its more to do with all the changes done to achieve the mod doing it the way it was done

how can I add transparent app drawer? there is a file which needs to be installed, or I can find a setting somewhere? I have revolution HD on it

Rom dev has to edit some files in prism or there is a how somewhere around here

I second that ... No lag at all , make sure you're using the right tools and that the setup of them is good

I also notice that laggyness when using a Theme with transparent app drawer. (using TrickDroid)

Change app name

I'm wondering if there's a practical way, or any at all to change the name of an app in the app drawer (not the home screen). I tried to edit the Manifest.xml file but the string I was looking for wasn't in there. Thanks.

Juste use Nova Launcher or KKLauncher...

As I stated, launchers only allow you to change the shortcut name (not the app in the drawer).

How about hiding app in launcher, and creating a folder with the app renamed to whatever you want?

Apart from using the launcher, the only other way I could think of would be to decompile the apk with apktool and then you can edit the app name string. It's inside /res/value/string.xml

Also, I'm using kklauncher and it does allow me to change the app name in app drawer

Thanks, this is what I ended up doing, decompiling and editing it. Works great

[Q] Transparent text bubbles?

Is there a way to make the text bubbles in the stock TW messaging app transparent? Wamam doesn't have the option. Wasn't sure how to go about this.

Short of decompiling messaging apk and theming it through xmls? Nope

You could try an alternative MMS app, I use textra and is awesome.
