Is it possible to port 4.2 lockscreen to 4.1? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just wondering...
I really want the 4.2 lockscreen but there is no ROM yet for Note 2...
Thoughts?

You mean the 4.1.2 lockscreen?

4.2 has a different lockscreen with widgets support.

Without knowing how much it relies on infrastructure changes, you can dl the source directly from google and compile it to your own app and try it.

It's possible but you'd have to wait until some dev or modder extract and port the feature from the nexus4/10 as those are the only devices(as far as I'm concerned) with android 4.2

Ok... I guess i'll have to wait...

No promises, but I downloaded the 4.2 code to see what I could do. The emulator for 4.2 doesn't seem to show me any lock screen love you mentioned, but maybe I haven't explored enough yet.

So I played with the 4.2 lock screen and widgets. Ew. I don't think it's ready for primetime yet. Each tab can only have 1 widget, and out of box only a few are available. I think it looks quite ugly. I'd recommend one of the lockscreens from the market that allows widgets.

[Q] AOSP Lockscreen

Hi everyone,
Sorry if the question has been posted before, if so, feel free to delete the thread.
Anyway, I was wondering if there's any chances to see an AOSP lockscreen mod for SGS II or if I'm definitively condemned to see this samsung (ugly) glass.. ?
I understand that some apps like widgetlocker are leading to the same result. But it still remains a little buggy and I feel like it's draining my battery a lot.
So, is it only possible ? Also, I'm curious about the reason that makes it unavailable for now, as it was quickly available for SGS (first of the name).
There is already a thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091689&highlight=lockscreen
Thanks but this screen deals about glass lockscreen from SGS1 and WidgetLocker.. Wich is not exactly what I meant. I'm loocking for the real stock lockscreen, with the two bars, and possibly without using widgetlocker.
Thanks anyway for caring

Yeah the first few replys suggest to use WidgetLocker but later in the thread, we tried to port the stock android lockscreen. In order to do that we used the source from SGS1 where someone ported the stock lockscreen. But we discovered that samsung changed a lot with TouchWiz 4 and therefor someone with a lot more knowledge would be needed to port the lockscreen for our SGSII and TW4.

[REQ]/[PORT] MIUI Themes/Lockscreens/Theme Manager

Searched if there already was this kinda topic here, and it wasn't.
Is it possible to get the MIUI Lockscreens ported to our beloved SGS2?
Please take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
They look REALLY AWESOME and I would die for this on my SGS2.
Anyone who can do some magic?
Would gladly donate to the person who can/will port this, if possible
Thanks in advance

Thats the first ever bit of miui that I actually like. Nice find, hope someone ports them over.
It would be very cool if someone could make that

Just download the mtz file and install(open) it. It will ask to install the theme.
To change/edit go to apps->themes->edit-theme->lockscreen
Works on my i9100 with MIUI 1.7.1 test31

No worries. This is a bit OT for this thread, sorry. But can you tell me short about the rom? Like are the battery times good? And can you chose danish language in the rom as well? Are the shortcuts in the lockscreens configurable?
Thank you

Widgetlocker is a good alternative, its on the market and there are loads of miui slider down themes here on xda.
I will say it isnt free but well worth the money and works a dream on the sgs2
Hope this helps

These locksccreen couldn't be ported. They havent been ported to any stock rom phone. They work for any MIUI port but not on stock.
Use widgetlocker if you want but I don't like having another apps running in background and thus consuming battery only to have a lockscreen. Plus wl could be incompatible with apps tracking the screen unlocked as so it isn't a real lockscreen (embedded in system) but an app that SIMULATES a lockscreen

Just returned from the WL themes thread. Tbh I gave up. It was too hard to get anything good out of it

Battery times seem alot better then stock (though i didnt charge > 8 times on stock, installed roms straight away. Batt. live seems to improve after first few charges)
The shortcuts are configurable only by changing its path in the xml of the lockscreen, not by MIUI interface.
For me, MIUI is the best rom for SGS2 atm...still waiting for CM tho

I know that it is possible to get a default lockscreen changed on the SGS II. Nitr8 SGSII ROM has the stock android lockscreen instead of Samsung, he advised me that you can use this old SGS thread and it works. As I'm a ROM cooker and not a themer and don't deal with frameworks, somebody else (Maybe a themer) can try it? thread on how to do it is here
Thanks for the tip, mate

Thanks for the info. I do the odd bit of xml changing for my themes. If its to do with xml maybe I stand a chance but if its smali I wouldn't know where to start, I think its time to do some reading and try and learn.
I would love to change this lockscreen. I'm going to try next week.
I don't like miui but I installed it on my desire just to try these lock screens and they are really nice.

lockscreen calendar @ Pro

Does anyone have an idea how to mod the lockscreen in an rooted Android...
I´m looking for more than one calendar event shown at the lockscreen at the same time.
And no, i dont want to use an add therefor because that will sometimes not work properly and the screen is not locked when i press the power button in the pocket, so the phone is unlocked sometimes.
Normally it should be possible to mod the lockscreen in Android, shouldn´t it? does anyone have some experience or can give me some advices?
Better to bring this up in Q&A...
Anyways, it is possible to do it, but you would better off using NXT lockscreen to try this mod.

sorry for wrong posting.
so, I had already Roms with the next loockscreen, but there you still have only one line for calendar preview. the preview changes in a presetted timeframe, but that's still not exactly what I wish to have. for 2.3 there was an app called "loockscreen calender", that listed more than one event at one time at the lock screen, but that doesn't work with ICS or jb. and as I posted already, a custom fully lock screen app isn't that save to work properly.
does anyone know a solution?

If the app worked on GB maybe you can ask someone to port to ICS or JB?

Many questions

Hi all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 for few days, and i installed a JB rom on it, and there are some things i really love !
So my questions are these :
-Is there any mod, or anything to activate like on the s2/3 when you are in the messaging app, you just put your phone to your ear, and it call the contact that you are texting with ?
-Is there anyway to get the samsung's keyboard on the galaxy nexus ?
-Maybe is there any possibility to get the lockscreen ?
-And is there any mod or something to get the messaging app ?
My device is the GSM Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), running Cataclysm ROM (4.3)
I can change my rom to get these mods.
Thanks four your replys guys, and i hope you understand my english.
Someone please ?

If you have the S2 you are in the wrong section. This section is for the Galaxy Nexus, although I guess my answers will still work for you.

There is a direct call feature in some of the modded mms apps. Perhaps some market apps have this feature as well.

Searching for these would be your best bet. If you can't find them, they likely haven't been ported. Good chance the lockscreen is a no. There may be alternatives on the market to get the features you want.

So you have an S2 and a Gnex?
So basically you want some Touchwiz on your Pure Google experience...
-No, that's a Touchwiz feature.
-I believe you can sideload the Samsung keyboard apk to your Gnex and install it.
-No, that is also a Touchwiz feature and probably hard as hell to get working/ported.
-Possibly if you sideload the Messaging apk file.

Thanks for your reply, i tried the apk's and it didn't work.
I wanted the most the direct call feature, because we have '' smartphones '' but actually they are pretty dumb. And this feature is a smart feature imo.

Holo Theme on G3?

Hey,
I've been asking myself if the holo theme will come to the G3. I had it on my Galaxy S3 and I really loved it.
Is it possible to get this on the G3? Is anyone already working on it?

It is, it is.. Maybe I had to formulate my question in a other way ^^
All I want to know is, if this is possible at all. Because LG's UI is so different compared to Samsung etc.

yeah it is possible. we just need aosp
It should be possible; however it requires a lot of work theming the framework and systemui, and a lot of other apps. I don't really think it's worthy in the first place, you are better off just to wait for an aosp rom as they said before.
