Hello Everyone, Noob here.
I just flashed the Wicked Sensations ROM last night and am really liking it. I am wondering if there is anyway to change the lock screen text though. I have searched and can only find things on the carrier label. I know this can be changed by editing the eri file. Is there something similar to this for the rest of the text. What I am referring to is at the bottom of the lock screen and on this ROM it says "swipe to unleash the wickedness".
Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can change that but you can take it off by going into your lock screen settings and taking off the help text.

I might be wrong, but I was able to change my carrier label in the eri.xml file. I had followed the instructions on the following link. The thread is only three pages long, is a quick read, and can help you change the lockscreen and pulldown text.
Hope this helps.

edit: I just saw in your title that you're not talking about the carrier label. I would think that since the ROM developer could change it to what they wanted, you could find the file and edit it. Have you contacted the ROM author to see where this is located?

When you unlock and swipe from left to right a light coloured bar comes out saying unlock on it, where is this bar? I thought it may be in framework-res but I couldn't see it. Anyone know where it is? Also same question for the vanilla call answer screen?
anyone have any idea?

Not sure about the call screen, but I can help you with the lockscreen. Get widget locker from the Market, it costs $2. Using this, you can get the default vanilla lockscreen, even one like the iPhone if you want. It also lets you place widgets on the lockscreen.

No you really can't help haha... You're way off dude.
He's obviously asking for theme'ing purposes.
Unfortunately I don't know where it's located either. I'd suggest downloading and extracting a ROM that has the Vanilla lockscreen and wading through all that.
EDIT: Or just download the update.zip from the Desire Themes & Apps section that has the Vanilla lockscreen only. And find it within there. I'll be home from work soonish so I'll download and check it out myself when I get there.

jog_tab_bar_left_end_normal.9.png
jog_tab_bar_right_end_normal.9.png
jog_tab_bar_right_end_pressed.9.png
But I dont know about the text saying unlock etc......

Is it possible that the text itself is not an image but rather text that has been coded to pop up over the bar image?
That would explain why you cannot find an image for it.

Thats exactly what I think! I think its in colors.xml but I dont know which one, when I get some spare time I will experiment with it all.....
Bump...
Im wondering the same thing, anyone ever find anything on this?
Just thought I would ask. I have contacted the developer as well.
I am using the latest Launcher Pro + and when I change the icons for my launch bar they don't seem to always stick. They seem to revert back to the stock icons instead of the updated .png files I have assigned it.
It happens randomly. Is it something I am doing incorrectly? Or is this a glitch?
Thanks for any comments in regards to this.
There is some talk about this over at the forum: http://launcherpro.com/forum I believe if you make it a blank link first, then put a regular icon link after, it kinda resets it and sticks. Head over there to verify...

Dude holy crap. I downloaded it today (I had a couple of times before, always crawled back to sense) and I had this exact problem. After a little while of being pissed and just re-applying, I found a solution, kinda like post 2 I guess. I just clicked on the slot, chose the same activity, and when it asked to choose an icon, THEN I picked the custom one. That worked
Thanks for the replies. I have tried that method as well. Two of the icons stick but like the center application icon reverts back first then the others follow. I will read more on the posted link. Thanks for some input. I am sure it will resolved. I like Sense but with custom icons and setting to bar to highlight froyowide I am enjoying it more and more. Please update anything you might find and vice versa.
Thanks

Has anyone seen a transparent pin / password unlock keyboard? I have been searching for one, with no luck. I am running Warm2.2 RLS5 with clear unlock and would like to make the pin unlock keys transparent to match the clear unlock.
Thanks

so by making these transparent will it still be possible to see them? If you would kindly post screen of the final product.
edit also whats the name of the trace line on the unlock pin screen
Steel, do you know which files are the pin lock buttons? (Not the pattern, the actual number pin.)

Thanks for the help. I want to make the background completely transparent and just show the numbers.

You need to add a static string, and type it in that.

thanks for the reply... but like i said it looks too confusing.. what you said makes no sense to me lol
Can you explain yourself a little please? thanks
Yea, this app was really confusing to figure out.
You go into the settings, and under Layout go to Custom Layout.
Press the little green plus button and it will bring up different categories. You can drag and drop any of these - time, date, battery - into the rows above.
To just insert a static character, go to the Misc section and drag the "static text" to wherever you want it. Then tap where you dragged it to and it will bring up a text box to enter the character you want. Once I'm done I just press the back button until I get to the main settings menu and then press ok.
Pressing the green box button on the right will insert a new row so you can drag things into it, and the red one will delete rows.
Thanks.
I found a video on youtube too that helped me out aswell
Can anybody point me in the right direction for editing the power toggles in the notification bar? I've noticed that the galaxy S4 from T-mobile has the data toggle removed and i would like to add it back so that i completely eliminate the need to install 3rd party apps just for that toggle. If anybody knows what files i need to edit or a link to a good guide for this phone, i would greatly appreciate it, have a good day and thanks in advance for anybody helping.
PS - If i manage to get this done, i might even make a flashable zip with that addition included.
I would love to see that

I think some of the custom TW ROMs have the data toggle added back in if I'm not mistaken. So you might just be able to pull the elements form another ROM and insert them into the stock one. (Or just flash one of the custom ROMs)
Cyaogen definitely has it included so if you can,t find it pure made for the stock TW ROM you can at least get the elements you'd need from CM.
Good luck!

Any mea rom has it

Thank you guys for all of your suggestions. After a while, this was posted on the development section... apparently many people were asking for the same thing. Now i just need to dissect some roms and find the keywords used to add the other toggles...

The other toggle you can include is the " Brightness; "
The Brightness toggle is excellent, it's not how it used to be where it was off/on/auto etc.
This one displays a slider with auto option in it.............
Really nice!

I Am trying to get rid of the original brightness slider bar beneath the toggles...........
If anyone knows a way to remove it I would appreciate it a lot.

To turn that slider off, just go to Settings>My Device>Display>Notification Panel>Brightness adjustment (unchecked)
Eureka!!! i found the last missing toggle... the tethering toggle... it's added with "WiFiHotspot;"
