lockscreen and answerscreen - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to change the lockscreen to something like htc's theme : sense - slate
and I'd also like to change my answer screen to the same style
drag down the slider to answer, or up to decline
I'm using litening rom 1.4 and I avoided the market lockscreens, I feel like they don't integrate that well with the system.
thanks

Try widgetlocker.hI

WidgetLocker worked perfectly for me. Big THANKS! Even let me remove the default lockscreen completely. As result it runs actively all the time so that it can activate the widget locker when needed but it has barely made use of the battery which is good.
The only issue I've seen is a slight flicker when unlocking (hardware key) the phone where you see a frame or two of the screen for a split second after which the lockscreen comes up but this issue has also been on and off.
Definitely recommend it.

Invisible Home
The idea:
Your home screen is just the background. Everything is still accessible from it.
I found some really nice backgrounds but found they were being obscured by various icons so I thought why not make them invisible.
Implementation:
Very successful, I have three screens, left screen is system stuff, right screen is newsfeeds, centre screen is basic things.
I found the invisible .png icon and using LauncherPro applied it to everything on the homescreen.
Result: My homescreen when I unlock is now just the background.
I have a 4x5 icon setup (adjustable in LP) and then a dock bar at bottom.
The top row is google search; left half is web, right half is voice. I used LPs Activities Shortcut and found the intents.
Then there is a large block (4x3) of Invisible Lock Widget to lock my phone by tapping the middle of the screen.
At the bottom I have 5 dock icons which have swipe actions so 10 actions all in all, plus a second dock scrollable behind that (kept the icons on that one).
Basically I can access everything easily from this screen because they are regularly used functions so I know where they are.
Implications:
You can draw your own background and effectively make up your own home screen.
Further Ideas:
I had an idea whereby you had a Monopoly type gameboard as a background, each square around the edge had an intent like direct dial home, direct message a contact, etc. Then you had some dice in the middle that you click to get to apps, the Chance card stack goes to Google Search, etc.
Black - Just have a black homescreen, the uber minimalist setup.
If you could have a diff wallpaper for each homescreen imagine you swipe left to see your fave contacts displayed on a GuessWho board and you can click each one to call/msg them.
This may be old news to some of you but after setting it up on my phone I am quite excited about the possibilities.
Perhaps I'm a bit late but I'd like to point out that you can have multiple wallpapers using the live wallpaper 'MultiPicture', which is available from the Android market. It's quite handy and perhaps you could do the Monopoly/Guess Who thing with that.
EDIT: Found something. I'll see if I can't fashion some kind of wallpaper out of it, but I can't link to it yet...

get cyanogenmod 7 for zte blade,
There are so many ways to configure themes etc.
Some launchers support themes (adw). But themes mainly change look of some apps, clock for example. Themes also change wallpapers, icons etc... but that's easy doing by hand...
Also for CM7 there's a theme switcher, which only work for specific themes. And one for adw themes.
All this is too confusing to me...
Someone should explain..
I just use LP with custom background, custom dock and custom icons all applied one by one myself

Huh? The Samsung theme is custom which means it can't be default. But if you use Swedish Spring (from Modaco) then you can flash a Galaxy S theme.

Widgetlocker themes

Hi, can anyone tell me how i am supposed to use a theme for widgetlocker at all please?
I downloaded 3 files and chose the option of install and add, but there is only my phone lock showing, no icons to choose from and no wallpaper that was supposed to come with it.
I have no idea where the file has saved to or anything, and well being new to all of this android stuff i m a bit confused....
thanks for any help you can give me.
Click the following-
Lots of themes
Google is your Friend.
Hope this helps.
mmm thanks for that buddy.
Just seems odd that i have done the above already but nothing has changed bizarrely.
Only the slider has appeared and i cannot it seems that i can see the custom made icons that were in the package.

Long press on a slider, or press menu then add slider and you can choose theme. It doesn't change the theme as soon as you install.

Sense3 ring widget locker theme
Hello just thought i'd upload a widget locker theme i made and use,
pretty simple to edit,
just put it in sd:data/com.teslacoil.widgetlocker/themes and it shud come up on the app
ive attached screenshots and zip file hopefully they work
and yes im a noob lol
How do you assign the lock homie wsllpaper? I copied the the theme to correct location & naming convention is right but canae see paper? Do you have to save wallpaper to download folder and assign from there or am i losing the plot?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
the wallpapers separate you can download this attachment
that was just a screenshot of my lockscreen on my phone
theres an option in widget locker settings under look & feel where you can select a wallpaper tick alternative wallpaper and select whatever you want
Is there any way you can make a theme just like this without the lock icon in the middle? Thanks.
Hi
Quick question RE: Widget locker
I've only ever used this biefly on my old Desire.....this was some time back so my memory is a little hazy
i seem to remember that on occasions that it would either flash up the standard HTC lock screen or require me to unlock one then the other.....or something similar to this
Does this lockscreen work without the above issues (or indeed, any issues) on the S2 ?
is there any lag or any other nasties ??
Cheers

Works fine on mine so far. always showing the widgetlocker except after a fresh reboot. slight lag on the slider at times. my only concern was battery life but it doesn't seem to affect much.

[Q] Change Lock Screen App Icons & Dark Notifications?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the Sense Lock screen notifications to a darker material colour? I haven’t been able to find anything and don't really love the light grey.
Also, is there any way to change the Sense lockscreen app icons? I know how to change the apps and their order but I’m looking to change the icons for these apps shown on the lockscreen. Once again I haven’t been able to find anything.
I have looked around for xposed modules to do these two things but haven’t had any luck.
I also realize I could change the lock screen to a 3rd party one but they don’t seem to place nicely with the alarm when it goes off (doesn’t show screen with dismiss or snooze) or they only seem to launch a half ass version of the camera when swiping into it from there.
Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Q] Need some help with Huawei P8lite and Nova Launcher

Hello. I hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Xperia Z went bust after two years of faithful service and yesterday I took a risk and picked up the Huawei P8lite. The phone is absolutely gorgeous, but I am having some issues with Nova Launcher.
First off, the soft keys and notification bar aren't transparent. They are when I use the stock launcher (so the device is obviously capable of doing so), and they were on my Xperia Z using Nova Launcher. Non-transparent soft keys and notification bar makes the screen look smaller and cluttered, which utterly spoils the overall experience.
Is there a way around this? If I root the phone, can this be fixed? I have never rooted a device before so if this helps, where can I find the run-down on rooting?
Second, changing icons. When I try to change an icon on the homescreen (again, with Nova Launcher) only a handful of icons from the icon pack shows up on the list. There are clear gaps in the list where a bunch of icons should be.
Again, these were both non-issues on my Xperia Z.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix these things? For the icons I realize I can use an app like Icon Changer, but with Nova Launcher I shouldn't have to. And as for the soft key and notification bar I realize I can hide them entirely, but I don't want to do that. I just want them to be transparent.
I greatly appreciate any help. I'm on Android 5.0, and I can post screenshots if needed.
Okay, so the phone got an update the other day and that fixed the problem with the icons.
However, the soft keys (and less importantly, the notification bar) still aren't transparent. Does anyone know what to do about this?
You know you live in the first world when this drives you insane
try different themes if that helps !!

In Settings go to the navigation control and it should be to the left on the switch. Move it to the right. Not only did that make the Nav bar clear, but also allows me to hide it.
Hope it helps.

HTC Themes / Maker Pro madness

After numerous tries, I finally figured out HTC themes and Maker Pro to simply change dialer color and lock screen clock. I must be really dumb because this seemed so difficult.
There is nothing intuitive about changing lock screen clock or dialer when you want to use what you find in another HTC custom theme or even your own. I finally found a clue in an older HTC 10 thread.
If anyone knows of a short tutorial, let me know as I would like to reference it here. Maybe Google will squash this train wreck of a theming app for pure Android.
FYI, I am using Flick Launcher beta which I like but it doesn't change dialer or lock screen. If other launchers will change stock dialer color and lock screen clock, let me know.

FYI, I am using the ported Google dialer found in XDA. Very good replacement.
