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:

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
Hey everyone. I am trying to help out Fede over at launcherpro with a feature problem with his new LauncherPro Plus. I recommended a feature and told him that I would research it (now that he's being swamped with questions due to him opening up LauncherPro Plus for purchase)!
This issue is this: his new "People" widget doesn't show people's Facebook images. I suggested using a technique similar to what Handcent does in order to be able to access the facebook pictures linked in the contacts. Here's the conversation over at launcherpro com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1026
My question is does anyone know a good resource to point Fede in the right direction in order to achieve this? Any help would be great! Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry for the funky way of putting the LauncherPro forum link. I wasn't allowed to post an outgoing link in my post.
Hi Guys
Long time reader of these forums and have used the guides provided here numerous times. This is my first time post and it's a bit of a noob question but after looking around the forums, I haven't been able to provide a concrete answer.
I remember reading about Facebook integration with Android 2.0+ but could someone clarify how vanilla android interacts with Facebook? I am a huge fan of HTC Sense being able to pull down my friends info into my contacts. Also is there a way by which I can back up all my apps and contacts so that when I've flashed a new ROM I can just restore the data?
Again I apologise for the basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find any solid answer through my searches and I'm itching to put 2.2 on my legend.
Much appreciated
Linking Facebook and Google-Contacts works in 2.* as far as the names are the same. Ihaven't found a function like in sense where you can directly point to a specific FB-contact and link it to a google or phone-contact as you want. Regarding your second question, your contacts will be saved @google if you use a googleaccount, for backing up your settings and programs go with TitaniumBackup but your handset has to be rooted for this.
Thanks ^_^ I realised what I'd asked about the contacts only after I'd posted it >.< but all the same thanks for the info
Just btw, which fb app are you using (this goes to everyone) ?
Not a single one I tried so far was good enough.
I have the official fb for android but it doesn't display message whole threads when they are too long and when i click on a notification, it opens up in the browser.
Then i tried fb browser, but that one can't open youtube vids. It tries to open them itself instead of opening them in the yt app, but I'm unable to click on the play button.
the rest is either a copy of these 2, or comletely useless.

I just stick with the default android one...the lesser of the evils out there. But I agree with you in that the apps aren't as good as they could be. Who knows, maybe Facebook will announce some android related news at their mobile event today
I'm using the official one. There is an update, just installed it today. There is now finaly places and when clicking in the notification, no more webbrowser with touch.facebook.com is opened.
Hi All,
I just for the SGS II the other day and have some questions.
A few questions for the experts..
1. Can you change the widget that it comes with in the notification area? Meaning is there an option to add flight mode etc? I know I can get widgets after market but the one Samsung bundles is quite good.
2. Gmail icon, for me it doesnt have the number of emails notification. Anyone else have this? If so can you recommend another gmail icon that will notify and take me to the gmail app?
3. I also tried the Wifi Unlock (App from Market), but every time it goes to sleep I still get the enter the pin to get in. What am I doing wrong? The whole idea was not to type the pin when at home with wifi on?

Hi,
As the upper sticky states : If your thread can be phrased as a question, it belongs in Galaxy S II Q&A
It's really the best way to share useful information. I bet you can understand that, 'cause if you had read all the threads, you would've found some of the info you're looking for; except that everyone that wants answers creates a thread... If we centralize all useful info and questions in one thread, it's easier to find it. Wouldn't you agree ?
My bad. Sorry. Hopefully a mod can move this.
Hello guys, i am new here and just installed cm7 on my mm2, question is how can I get the motoblur dock back on it, I really dont like the adw one or other i have tried, just want the motoblur one. Also i have a question about swype, I dont need swype, im fine with the normal keyboard, I see that swype takes about 20-22mb of ram, does the regular one take less?
To get the BLUR dock, you must install the complete BLUR launcher, which will not work without the MOTOBLUR framework.
Basically you need MOTOBLUR for it. Maybe someone managed to port it (which I doubt, since there's so much hate around BLUR).
You could try the SE Xperia Launcher, which is posted somewhere on XDA.
Ok thanks a lot for clearing that up
