Bored of the same old crappy lock icon in AOSP Roms?!
Well Look no further, these icons will change the Lock icon to a selection of custom images, made by me :3
Code:
I am not responsible for anything at all, if you brake your phone, your problem not mine, but i will help because i'm a nice guy!
Notice
Don't ask for Flashable Zips, 2 Reasons. 1. Makes it too Noob Friendly, this will help you see what else makes up the system ui of your phone and open you up to be able theme them accordingly. 2. I couldn't actually get it to flash properly xD It's good to get experience with the below method thou! And it's totally Worth it tbh!!
These will probably only work on AOSP roms, but i have only tested these myself on my Desire C and they work flawlessly, no lag, nothing like that! So enjoy using them guys :3
Okay so now on how to install you desired ring, it is not as easy as just flashing the zip in recovery, plainly because, their is no zip for you to flash :highfive: Haha, so you need to make some edits to your Framework-res.apk instead until i can be bothered to make a flashable zip for these
First Thing you guys need to do is find your framework-res.apk, i'm sure you allknow where it is but just incase i'll tell you :3 It is Located in the Desired Rom Zip under System>framework>and there it is! I personally would extract it to my desktop and leave it there for later :3
**********
The second thing your gonna wanna do is Decompile or find any way in which you like to extract the res folder that is inside the .apk, again, i'd extract this to my Desktop again because it's an easy place to put it :3
**********
The next thing your gonna need to do is press Thanks on this post to unlock the download Just kidding but, yeah, What you gotta do is download my zip of mods, have a browse of them until you find the one you like, and extract the two images in the Resized/root of the folder to, you guessed it, the desktop You can use the other images outside the folder but the image will be bigger (HDPI)
**********
So Now you've got the two chosen images on your desktop, navigate into the res folder you extracted earlier and navigate to drawable-mdpi, this is all the images and stuff that make parts of your phone, i'd leave most of this alone unless you know what you doing
**********
Now drag and drop the two custom images into the drawable-mdpi folder and allow the files to be overwritten, now put the res folder back into the framework-res.apk and recompile it or do just whatever method it is you like to get the custom res folder back into the .apk
**********
Now, you can either put the framework apk back into the rom zip, and reflash it with your custom lockring, however this is time consuming, and takes longer, can cause errors blah blah blah, you get the idea, so instead just copy the apk to your SD card and use a root browser to copy it
**********
Once the custom framework-res.apk is copied, simply paste it in the system>framework>HERE of your phone, accept the overwrite, your phone will immediately reboot and this is okay, it will then boot up, and your lockscreen ring will change :3
**********
Example of the kinds of rings you can have and what they look like on my Device
However i only have three, because that's all i took screenies of, the first two are ones that wernt resized, but the third one is :3 i think the resized are MDPI so better off choosing the HDPI ones which are outside the Resized Folder

instead of the default hero one....problem is the "Htc logo" tht follows is not aligned with this one and this new boot.gif doesnt end with a fade effect. So can neone add in a fade effect at the end of tht png or at the beginning of this one ? I've tried but u can tell due to this post, i haven't succeeded.
the gif images are not allowed to have any transparency at all, otherwise it will not work!
That looks similar to the splash in the JacHeroSki latest build. You could open that and take the files out of that build and put them in yours and resign.

Hey, no i dont want it to be transparent. I want the first gif i posted to fade out. So there is no aligning issues with the second gif as they dont match.
Nah, just tried the jachero still has the hero loading screen. this is the htc loading screen. All this is missing is a fade effect. I tried editing but it becomes all f'ed up at boot
Just to be clear, are wanting to change splash1 or the animated 2nd screen (where the shiny android used to be)? If you are changing the 2nd, do this:
Open jaheroski.zip with winrar/7zip
Open the framework file
Open the framework res apk (away from pc so not positive of exact name)
With that open, go to the assets folder and open that
Open the images folder
Select the android logo mask png and the android shine png (again, not positive of exact names)
Copy them to your own build and put them in the same folder in your build.
Resign.
You can move all the images to your build as well with the same process.
That should give you the animation you want. I have followed that process and had that same animation in a custom theme I was working on.

No lol. Im running evil's hero. Instead of the hero loading screen i found this htc one. I like it better except when it goes from the screen with the android popping out to the htc loading, they dont match hence it looks wierd. I want the htc with the android popping out to fade out as it ends so the next loading screen doesnt look wierd.
this is way faster!

I tried to patch Rosie.apk from stock froyo rom to allow drag screens (like in modaco custom rom):

}
So i deodexed it, decompiled, made changes, compiled, signed, zipaligned and replaced my Rosie.apk in stock rooted froyo ROM. But then Sense didn't boot up. Where can be a problem? Maybe it don't work because i'm using deodexed Rosie.apk on odexed ROM? (as stock rom is odexed). Can pls someone with deodexed rom try this patched rosie?
Edit: I did it! Tested and working on stock rooted froyo rom (odexed), download:
i did that too but didn't work...i even tried paul's patched rosie but don't boot...i think it's cause of odexed rom and deodex system app
It's working now.

I have modded framework-res.apk too and it's working well. It's not odexed, so there was no problem with this. I decompiled it, added supercircle battery mod files, compiled, signed, zipaligned and then i flashed it via update.zip.
What was odd was that I pushed the original back on and that didn't work either (unless I named the backup wrong but I doubt that). I never signed it, but, I never used to on eclair either. Maybe I was just being stupid, I'll try again.
hey man why do you have commands for deleting the dalvic cache and cache in update-script???
i edited it and just left the command to copy rosie into system and it worked just fine
thanks anyway for the patched apk
sorry what do you mean by dragging scenes?........................sudeki300
Okay, I pull framework-res.apk, rm'd it, pushed it back. Now it won't work (keeps restarting, launcher fails). I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. I played around like this on eclair fine.
not scenes....screens!!!!
let's say you want to make your very left screen as the default one (meddle) you pinch in regularly to bring the screen preview , press and hold on the rom you want and drag it whereever you want to be

no worries lambro have a good night...................sudeki300
Wipe dalvik cache is there for deodexed rosie.apk, which i tried before. As now is odexed, that command is useles and i will remove it. But it isn't doing any problems either with that command.
problems now but why delete my cache....it may affect other apps....dunno though!!!
anw good find
@ranwej
Would kindly tell me what are the changes you did to code
I want to do the same to a newer version.... appreciate it
Sorry i deleted that project since i don't have HTC phone anymore.. As i remember... you need to add 2 lines of code to one file in decompiled app .
Try to deodex and decompile my patched file and original one from proper firmware version... then compare folders with some compare program (i'm using BEYOND COMPARE - very good one) and you will see that difference...
Simple and Clean Technical Bootanimation
I was getting sick and tired of the default "S", so I created a new bootanimation with a clean and simple concept while still stylish and technical. I call it "TechBoot" and I wanted to share it with the community.
Information about the animation:
I used several different programs to create the animation. For graphics and mock-ups the program used was Adobe Photoshop. For motion and effects I used Adobe After Effects. These programs made it easy to compose a High Quality animation. The bootanimations are in a zip archive format and are compatible with any kernel that supports "bootanimation.zip".
*Feedback is much appreciated and suggestions to future releases will be met by gratitude.
Changelog:
Version 1.0 | [14.05.2011]

hi dear , i have galaxy s i9000 runing 2.3.4 gingerbread
i want to ask about boot animation , i know how to make the zip file which contain part0 file and part1 file and desc.txt , i want to know how to create the images which was in both files (1&0) , is there is soft ware to do that or its video converted to images then added to part0 and part1 files ( i mean the series of images and the animation on it how we wil do it ) please help me and tell me the secret , i searched on net the olny i found how to do the zip file which i know it , no body explane how to fabricates the images it self,
thanks in advanced
They ate just PNG images. Either convert video into frames or create your own animation. After effects is good.

Nothing huge here, but I themed the Notification Drawer Widgets in CM9 to match the blue ICS uses and thought I'd share it with folks since I didn't see it anywhere.
This is a zipthemer file, so you'll need to download it from the Market (it's free) and use it to create the update.zip to flash in CWM. If you want to use this but aren't familiar with zipthemer let me know, I can help you out.
I couldn't get a screenshot but here are some of the icons.

*How to use Zipthemer*
note: you may need a ROM of you have flashed (CM9) in order to configure your edify script (this is the script that tells CWM what to do when you run your update.zip file)
1. Install zipthemer!
2. Open up the menu (on ICS it's the 3 vertical dots) and click on update edify (you will only have to do this once)
3. Updating Edify screen (complete either Option 1 or Option 2)
- option 1: browse to the ROM you have on your phone and click it -- done
- option 2: click on download, then exit out of the screen, click options (3 dots), settings, update script format, select your phone. If your phone isn't present, see option 1.
4. Download the zipthemer file (.zip), and using a file explorer, move it to the "zipthemer" folder on your sd card.
5. open zipthemer again, click the "+theme" button, select the theme you want to apply (you can select more than one, or even only certain parts of one)
6. click "*output" button and pick the name you want for your update file (or accept the default). Leave the "-update.zip" at the end of the file name and "/sdcard/" at the beginning so it will be in your sdcard root directory and easier to find when you go to flash it.
7. click "build it!", it will ask you if you want to create a backup file, I usually do just in case so I don't have to re-flash the entire ROM to undo my changes if I want to.
8. Exit zipthemer, reboot to recovery, flash your new zip file, reboot system, enjoy!
more notes:
a. as always, it's a pretty good idea to run a nandroid anytime you play with your system (this is a do as I say, not as I do kinda statement)
b. A lot of these type of themes where some system files are modified or system apps are modified, it's good to do a wipe dalvik/cache
c. if you update your ROM to a new nightly/RC/stable, re-build the zipthemer file. It's likely that this isn't necessary, but unless you know just what the CM team changed it's probably a good idea.
wait can I just flash the zip or do I have to do the zipthemer thing( which i have no idea how to use)?? And also is this zip only for the galaxy nexus or for any CM9 phone .( I'm on Samsung epic 4g)?

You have to do the zipthemer thing, but that's the beauty of it! Because you are using zipthemer, it doesn't matter which CM nightly/RC/stable you're on, zipthemer pulls from the files on your phone and makes an update file for you! And it's really easy to use.
Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily transfer across devices. And in the case of the Epic 4g, it doesn't. The image files are different sizes. I have downloaded the CM9 files for the Epic 4G/4G Touch and built a zipthemer file for it though (with the exception of the wimax icons, if you use wimax let me know. I don't know if the epic 4G is even wimax capable). I'll post it in the Epic 4G forums.
Also going to post a quick zipthemer tutorial after this post. (added them to the OP)
Epic 4G Thread
Epic 4G Touch Thread
I themed my Galaxy Nexus notification drawer widgets to match the blue in the rest of ICS instead of the default white. I had an Epic 4G visitor ask about doing this for their phone, so I built this Zipthemer file to help y'all out. I don't have an Epic 4G Touch so I couldn't test this out. If you try it let me know if it works, or what doesn't work.
There are two versions. The first one is all the icons changed except the wimax icon. V2 is where I took the wimax icon, tried to theme it to match the others, and used it to replace the LTE icons.
