Customizing the Lock Screen?

Alright guys, I need some help building my theme.
So I'm in the process of making my own theme and one thing I really want to do is set up my lock screen the same way that I think Aero and Gloss Suite have it (example attached) but with the default black background with it (its a really high contract black and white theme). Any chance of getting pointed to the right files to mess with?
Also, I was wondering how difficult would it be to change the color of the font on that screen as well.
I very well might be searching for the wrong thing too (it is the lock screen right...technically?) So a forum link or something would be amazing help as well.
Immense thanks for all your help guys and girls. You guys make having a G1 worth the smack talk from the iphone guys ; )

There is one XML edit to make in res/layout yes, but the way to get a lock screen looking nice is by replacing (and I forget the exact name) popup_full_dark.9.png in res/drawable. Essentially, you make this the image that you want to be centered horizontally, and then justified bottom, then it fills it with its text. For my own phone, I went with a black image that goes about 80% up the screen, so I have a centered unlock prompt.

Ahhhhh alright I'm seeing it now. That helps a lot Ooglez. Haha no offense Reason but I had a bit of a sigh of relief was it turned out to just be .9s instead of xmls. Whew.
Thanks a bunch guys. Seriously... you guys rock. If you see a theme by me on here soon you'll know it worked out for me. Thanks

Alright I have another question. Not exactly related to the topic at hand but its gonna bug me till i figure it out. Hopefully someone thinks to peek in here again.
What file controls the background for the Pull up tray? The pull down tray im pretty sure is the status_bar_background.9 in the res-drawable folder but I cant figure out the pull up tray tab thingy. I believe its doable cuz I think ive seen various themes with different opacities on the pull up menu but.. :shrug:
Any ideas?

The pull up tray handle is found in the Launcher.apk and is in the /res/drawable-land and /res/drawable-port directories.

Thanks Daveid. But I was actually looking for the background of the pull up tray. The handle isn't to bad to change around. Thanks again though

another xml edit...but its a color value not a background image, except for if you are using the g build.
Stericson

Hmmm, alright guess I'll leave that be for the time being. Thanks for all your help Stericson. For now and hundreds of other times as well

So... I didn´t understand what it´s said...
I mean... where can I find the xml related to the lock screen?? Can I just replace the xml and soft reset to change the position of the hour and the lock??
thanks for help!

S81, I'm not too sure about the xml editting for the lock screen. What I ended up doing was changing the popup_full_dark.9.png file located under framework->res->drawable in the theme folder. Search for ".9.pngs figured out" for stericson's thread/tutorial on how to change .9.pngs. I warn you though, its not for the faint-hearted and from what I understand XMLs are supposed to be worse so if thats the path you want to head down, good luck mate

thank you man! I´ll have a look at the weekend and tell you what´s going on

Eh I hate being given credit for something I didn't do...Just a correction but the .9's were not figured out by me, they were figured out by Damnitpud, if I'm not mistaken....
As for the lock screen xml edit....The only thing you can really change is the position of everything else, but not the order...at least not yet..Any way it's a big hassle for a little bit of customization....

I hate paragraphs that are sooo large that the words kinda blur out half way thru.
I remember the thing about the homescreen that has a blank space that wont let me change it that is like a pain in the rear 'cause you got to find out how to color in the blank space on the homescreen so you can do a hard reset set the omap to 300mhz to make the blank space dissapear and that way and only that way you can change the homescreen.

changing backround image -> too bright?

Hi there...
I just got mine and first thing I wanted to change was the background image.
1) disabled TouchFlo3D in settings->home>elements
2) tried to set background image
my problem: The background image appears very bright almost white, so i cant really see it and because it is so white i almost cant read any words...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
AO

any idea ? no one?

bump it up, baby

use the pic and video viewer and select the picture (you know hold your finger or stylus so it does the lil circle thing) then pick the set as today background option and it will let you set the transparency level it will only work with the standard WM screen (thats what i call the screen from the wing anyway) and not touch flo

Hey, you posted this same question on another thread in the Themes section. It's already been answered. Don't start multiple threads going forward please. It just makes a mess and it seems you can't even track all of them when they've been responded to.

ok... sry ..
And thanks for the answer: worked well!

Annoying start animation

Hi,
Very satisfied with my new phone, but ...
Each time I open an app it starts with very hard color taken from the icon of the app. Since the color is very hard, it is annoying. I disabled the animations, but stilll, the color is there. I have changed the icons of the apps to a less bright color, but this is not the right solution, I think. Any suggestions? Thanks, Natasa

Are you talking about these icons which show when we start an app?

to be fair it's only on for a split second, you could just use dark mode if it's to bright.

Help with Custom Font , Status Bar icon resize in Android 10 ONEUI 2.0

Hi,
First, if this is not the right forum to post this, excuse me.
Now the question, I just received my new S20 + and so far I love everything about the phone, you know it comes from an S7 until it gives up. The problem I have is that, on my previous phone (S7), I was able to changed the font size of my clok, Wi-Fi, LTG antenna symbol and the battery charge percentage indicator, in my new s20 + I can't find where to do this is no option, I spend a whole day, searching on Google looking for a answer that can help resize my icon's in the top bar to make them larger, the actual size is so small that I have to put glasses to see it. Do you guys have any solution to this or help?
Thanks in advance.

Oh OK lol. Only option then is screen space zoom in display settings or dpi setting in dev options
It won't change that much but you can play around and see.

I have called "Samsung care", and they told me that, they do not have any solution as right now. They did recognized and mentioned to me that, the preview version had the option to resize font, but for some reason, it was removed from the new version..... go and figure that one out smh..

yeah.. samsung tends to remove features they "think" people do not use.
For me, i still miss the good old samsung camera on the S7 and my note 8 before the oreo update.. where u can zoom in or zoom out by pressing and holding the shutter button (the white circle), and drag it upwards (to zoom in) and drag in downwards to zoom out.
i have no idea why they removed it.. i loved it as i can zoom in or out using only one hand.. new camera app i need to use one hand to hold, another hand to pinch the screen to zoom in..
not to mention some old samsung apps that is very useful, like the snapbizcard.. snap a business card and everything is saved into your contacts, automatically. it was super useful. i tried to transfer the apk from my samsung note 8 to the s20, but the app crashed everytime i want to take a photo of a namecard.

What do you mean "android 10" ? all galaxy s20 are android 10 ! it is the same as screen zoom , higher value give you smaller status bar . i can get 480 but it dose not make any different .

That's weird....i have screen zoom set to lowest and text size to second to lowest and icons are not small at all....check my screenshot
I am trying to make regular icons smaller....they are still to big even with 5x6
