Lockscreen Wallpaper - non transparent - Droid Eris Android Development

Hello,
I am currently using Tainted Vanilla. It has the stock lockscreen with a transparent background. How can I change it to a non-transparent background? Thanks.

I would suggest searching before you ask. There are threads about this already. It involves flashing new files and maybe some adb stuff if I remember correctly. Check the themes section or over in the hero cdma section if you're using a sprint based rom. A google search will more than likely turn up multiple threads on multiple forums.

You know, I did alot of searching on google and on this forum and cant find anything that is helpful. I am hoping someone knows how to change the nexus one lockscreen from transparent to non transparent.
I did find one zip with a lockscreen and a background but could not flash it. Anyone have the vanilla or nexusone lockscreen with a nontransparent background?

That one is the same one as the one he's using, it's just a patch to remove the HTC lockscreen. You can even see in the picture on the first post that it's transparent. It seems to work with EE with a background but its those stupid rendered grey blocks and you cant change them. DianeofArcadia found that picture in the system files but it cant seem to be modified to make it a different wallpaper. I asked the devs a few weeks ago and none of them seemed interested in helping figure it out and I dont know enough so if you find something let me know.

I flashed a hero theme over my aloysius rom that have the lockscreen a solid black background. I did read a site that has a method for making a background picture work. It pertains to the hero so I don't know if it would work for your vanilla rom. I just flashed a new rom so I don't have my bookmarks right now but I'll post a link tomorrow afternoon.
I figured google would turn up some results but maybe it's not as popular a topic as I thought. Sorry if I came off like a jerk

i'm also looking for this or a lockscreen that works with tainted that has the all the text removed. ex, carrier, clock, date.

Okay guys, this is what I found. Keep in mind that this is for the hero cdma so I have no idea if it will work for u guys, I haven't tried it myself, just sharing what I found.
Heres the link specifically for the wallpaper:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6221422&postcount=76
Here is the original thread, there are some neat things like removing text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665652
Once again, I don't know if this will work for you but it's all I could find. looks like quite an undertaking, if you guys get it to work let me know I haven't had time to play for a couple of weeks.

AFAIK, the Heroc fixes will not work on Eris roms. Don't ask me why, but that's from my experiences.

Thanks for the information rentjr, at least now some might have an understanding of why it is being so hard to change and maybe we can come up with something. ???
thread should be moved to Themes and Apps

yeah, i love the eclair lockscreen. back before root and these mods started coming out, I used lockbot pro to get the eclair lockscreen. lockbot pro will let you put a background though, as an alternative you could try that. I found it a little laggy for my taste but it might be good for others

I can.. but I can't find locksreen apk and don't know what name of file..
You know what? On second though, I actually have no idea where the Android lockscreen is stored... Silly me. The HTC Lockscreen, however, is stored in /system/app/HtcLockscreen

Its built into the core of the Android system as far as I know. its not an individual program .apk that can be installed or pushed.
I'm not so much concerned with the Launcher as the Lockscreen I really want that and maybe if it was clear that would be dope too but mainly just the 2.1 lockscreen

I don't know which one it is, but the GoogleBits v1.9 for AOSP has the lockscreen in there, don't know which apk it is, but it's in there, I pushed it on an vanillia aosp 2.1 that didn't have a lockscreen once i did, it showed up.
and look around for launcher2.apk which is the nexus one's "home"
sorry don't have time to find them both and link them, but they're in darch's thread somewhere. hopefully that points you guys in the right direction
EDIT: oh forgot, after you push the google bits, remove the htc one and it will revert to the google lockscreen, but only after you push the google one *this is important*
EDIT2: oh agian... do a nandroid backup first
I remember that now I did have that lockscreen when I used that rom but it lacked too many things I needed so I went back to Fresh 1. maybe Noj can chime in on this and lend a hand or does anyone else know how I can get that lockscreen
If its like the one from the Droid you could use lockbot pro

it's really only a issue if your using lwp with it, try the other launcher with lwp
is there a way we can get 5 home screens and use lwp? if you push and use launcher2.apk to the phone and use that for your homescreen, lwp screws up your phone. at the same time, using the regular launcher only gives 3 screens... =/

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4038589&postcount=8 use that to get an idea...
You will have to find where you need to put things in the frameworks yourself
Not exactly the same, but the process is there.. You need to change some things for the Hero versus Magic.. And stay away from anything GSM.. But that should help you out..
Be aware.. With little linux experience. It can be a headache.
Also. I'm not totally sure that's what you are asking for, if you just want to add apk's, etc., check out the guides WIKI on our forum

porting
my downfall
its easy to push and pull apps with sdk installed and using android commander. theres a start.
I'm on my way home. pm Me and ill teach ya
Im with this guy I want to learn how to add the AOSP dialer to fresh 2.0d. Im assuming I just need to find the right apk's and push them? One for contacts and one for phone.
So nobody has a AOSP contacts.apk that's already been modified to run on DamageControl?? That's all I want!

AOSP Dialer w/ DC or Fresh??

Is it possible to use the AOSP dialer (not the HTC stock one) with DC or Froyo. Right now, every time I make a call using Google Voice or something, the HTC call screen comes up. I don't want to completely scrap Sense because I like some things like the alarm app. Is there a solution?
Yes I posted this in Q&A, but there seems to be more Q than A there.
help please
I would like this too.
bumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump
I posted a reply on the thread started in dev and moved to QA, and I'll paste it here also. Hopefully we can either combine findings or someone will know the answer:
I'm hoping to do the same thing. I like the AOSP dialer and contacts much better.
I have been able to get the AOSP calendar, calculator, clock, browser, etc. to install on DC from bugless beast, so far with no problems.
However when I install some of the phone stuff I just get FCs for everything.
I installed the following apks from bugless beast on DC:
contacts
contactsProvider
Phone
Telephony
FutureDial
And got FCs. I haven't had a chance to try any further. Anybody else have ideas?
halp plz anyone
Can anyone do it?!
I can just install this and it will replace the sense dialer and call screen?

I didn't mean it could be done. I meant it in the Billy Madison sense.

That seems a bit harsh, considering my post with some valid information to get closer to an answer. I think if a few of us work on different ways of doing this, we will probably figure it out.
I appreciate your response, but it wasn't an answer to my question so much as a question in itself. Does anyone know how to install the AOSP Dialer?
I pulled apart the apk and I am in way over my head. Not sure what I'm doing.

i would like to see the aosp dialer too. i dont like the sense dialer at all.

I did answer how to install the AOSP dialer, it just didn't work. I'm hoping more people than me can actively try to get this to work (I work 50 hours a week and have a kid so I don't have a lot of time on my hands). I'll try to stop arguing and explain how people can work on this
The needed files are contacts, contactsprovider, and phone. However there is apparently something else needed to make them work properly. It could be adding another apk, or removing another apk, or even editing some other file (config file, framework file, etc.)
So I'm trying a post in the development section. Hopefully they don't kill it. I have included careful instructions on how to install this stuff, and my progress so far with the dialer. If other people keep trying, hopefully we can figure it out. I can say that just installing that contacts.apk will probably not work, since contactsprovider.apk is almost certainly needed.

This error is because the nand partition isn't mounted yet. Issue "adb remount" before.
It will clearly work with a rooted EVO Rom. See the thread below for an example:

Yes, it certainly CAN work. I wish some of the people that have made it work in those ROMs would follow up with us and let us know.
Most interesting thing so far: in that thread I posted in the dev section, someone said it worked with pre 1.47 OTA ROMs. I'm hoping to try a few things soon to see when it does or doesn't work.
Fresh 0.53 is a Pre 1.47 Rom. I've been trying with that for almost a month. I even tried porting over the files you listed in your other thread. All I get is force closes.

[Fix] Wallpaper issue with CM6 build

Hi,
Sorry for opening a new thread about this one but it is like most of us with CM6 based build are having issue where in the wallpaper doesn't change or if it changes the lockerscreen is left out. I just saw this fix in a different forum.
What to do:
-go to CM settings>Performance settings>(tick) Lock home in memory

[Request]Notification Widgets (wifi+data+gps+...)

I am looking for the notofication pull down widgets.
A cherry pick or a link to a github page is also ok. I can work my way from there.
Can someone help ? I looked into CM9/AOKP/Paranoid Android, but there is so much to search.
I'm guessing apps like Power controls or widgetsoid are out of the question? Also, are you planning on making this into something to add to stock roms or a whole new rom? Just curious.

I want to add this into a AOSP ROM. Which I hope to release sooner or later. If I can integrate that, less RAM will be used in the process than having another app running in the background.
Makes sense. If you get it figured out, I'd love to know how to add it to something of my own.
Found it finally
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings/commits/ics
it should be somewhere there. That will give you good place to start looking I found the cleanup code so the original must be there as well.
