[Q] How to change On/Off Screens, Library Icons and Lock Screen? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 wich is branded by one of the mobile providers of my country, and has very ugly turning on/of screens, icon sets and lock screens. I don't want to lose my warranty so I don't want to root/flash my phone. Searching the web I found the ADW Launcher and I'm trying to change these 3 things with it... is it possible? I mean
1) Is there a way to change animations I see when I turn on and off the phone?
2) With Adw I can freely change icons in home, but icons in drawers remains the same. If i use a theme, icons in drawers change too, but I can't find the right theme for me. Is there a way to change drawers icons using the default ADW theme? Or if not, how can I edit an ADW theme to change its default icons?
3) Is there a way to change the lock screen bringing it back to the stock transparent Galaxy lock screen? The one I had on Galaxy S1 would be fine. I know I can change lock screen from settings but it just let me chose an image from my gallery, and I don't know how to set it transparent. Would the Widget Locker app helps me?
Thanks in advance :-/

3) I don't know what the stock lock screen was on the SGS1 but ripple lock in the market is a nice honeycomb style replacement

I'll try it, thanks

xperia arc notifcation bar and homescreen help

Ok so i have a few questions about the stock homescreen. I was wondering if it was possible for the wallpaper to not move as you scroll pages? Also.. the buttons on the bottom like the appdrawer? How can we change it.... It looks terrible and never matches any theme.
Notfication bar wise how can we hide certain things in the notification bar. such as like the hdmi notification. Or like able to hide when you get a message up there. Currently i have a message pop up wigit that doesnt not go away, So everytime i get a message i have notifications at the top....
any ideas would be great. I have been using launcher pro.... then adw ex.... but i still like the original home screen....
For the soft buttons use folder organiser or desktop visualizer, and an icon pack, both let you create custom shortcuts to use in lieu of the stock icons. Re static wallpaper, an app called picspeed has a huge range and an inbuilt wallpaper setting for that. Message settings gives the option not to show in status bar.

if u use launcher pro in settings disable wallpaper scrolling and for changing d icons use adw launcher ...long press d icon n go to edit n change d icons wit d adw icons package...
install adw icons package from market...
I know how to make new icons or what ever but you can't change the app drawer. It goes away and a garbage can takes its place. The rest of the apps I can do. But the app drawer won't budge. I don't want to use lol... Or adw. I have both and like them. I would like to use time scape widget. Both of those you can't.

The drawer icon can be changed, but you need to decompile the launcher apk, edit it and recompile it. Festa20s rom has a custom drawer icon, you could pm him. Or use apk tool.

picspeed is awesome. you can pick a photo using the app and make it unscrollable. then choose your own wallpaper the normal way it would still have the nonscrolling

Lockscreen

Is there a way to change the second slider to open the camera? Like in ICS. Also can someone help me taking out the transparency from the clock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687614)?
Thanks in advance
I personally use widget locker. widget locker can change the behavior of what opens when you use the slider.
i use the ics style unlock circle thing, it gives me more options on what i can run when i want to unlock my phone

I have installed Nova launcher and also tried Apex launcher. Programs are good. I have modified it so I have 7 icons in my dock area, but when I go to unlock my phone, on the lock screen it still has the default 5 icons. Is there any way to have the modified 7 icons show up on the lock screen?

Change Icons on Sense Lockscreen?

I know we can change the shortcuts, but I found a great icon pack I applied to my homescreen and drawer, but I'd love to apply it to the lockscreen as well. Any ideas? I'd like to stay with the stock lockscreen if possible but I'm open to trying other lockscreens as long as they work with fingerprint unlock. TIA!
