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
I have searched around and have found its somewhat of a "known issue" that on AOSP ROMs you have to use either third party sms/mms app or a modified version to prevent the text notifications from //9016. This I'm fine with but I'm a REALLY big fan of the VVM for checking voicemail instead of calling and listening that way.
Is there any way to get VVM working on an AOSP ROM? I'm currently on Bubs AOSP Magic Original 0.4.1 and digging it, the VVM app is there and a past voicemail is also there but i'm not getting anything new. I just feel like there must be SOME way to accomplish it and still keep the AOSP goodness.
devs must know what component is not in AOSP that is in Samsung stock which causes this, i'd love a patch or something for it. thanks all
I take it you didn't read the hole thread. I posted a fix someone ago. Try searching harder. I'm sick and tired of repeating my self 2-3 times a week in that thread alone and now you started a new one

Easiest way to do this is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797239
Under Add-ons and patches download "Stock MMS/SMS", and apply the zip in recovery. I'm currently using Bub's AOSP Magic ROM and this worked for me. However, I have read that this may change your calendar from the AOSP calendar to stock. Hope that helps.

thanks, i'm already using handcent to block the texts. i was going to respond to lord douchicus up above there but thought not to. i was using Bubs 0.2 earlier and had this issue, clearing data from the VVM app seemed to work but only temporarily. and he didnt actually answer me in that thread, i read it over. so i tried it again and it seems like its working now, we'll see though, thanks for the help.
is this solution supposed to fix the VVM by receiving the text messages? or is it just to block the texts, thanks
Why should I waste my time posting the fix that had been posted x amount if times when you didn't spend no time looking for the awnser.

From this thread and my experience it seems as if the Vibrant based roms (Cog 2.4) do not have this issue. This lead me to cruise around the vibrant section and I found a couple useful files.
Applying sombionix's modified TW MMS file on clockwork has seemed to have fixed the issue for me. I do need to use/test it for a little longer to be sure. I triedseveral times to reproduce the bug and it is texting the right people If it didn't have that stupid gloss look it would be perfect
I am going to give this a tryCyanogenMod 6 MMS Modified for puzzle lock by untermensch . Since it is part of CM this should 100% not have the issue, and it is nicely modified to make use of the puzzle lock screen.
---------------------------
From what I understand this is an issue with all froyo roms, I have experienced this with most cognition builds since 2.2b3-2.3b3. When switching between a message conversation and new messages in the stock messaging app, messages are often sent to the wrong person.
I am going to try my best to describe what I believe leads to the problem, these steps may not replicate the issue exactly:
1. I must have just recieved and replied to a message conversation with "individual A"
2. I receive a message from "individual B"
3. Without leaving A's conversation I pull down the notification bar, and access "B's" new message and conversation.
4. while viewing "individual B's" conversation i try to send a reply to B, but it switches me back to "individual A's" conversation and sends them the reply (instead of B).
This has been very frustrating, embarrassing, and incriminating -- especially when I have accidentally sent messages to my boss, mother, and certain coworkers that don't understand some of the "things" me and my friends txt about.
I have created this thread to hopefully get everyone thinking about a way to fix this. In my opinion this is one of the biggest bugs with the Froyo roms.
If you have something constructive to add please join in the discussion. Suggestions like, do not use the notification bar, or install handcent are not helpful.
Thanks!
I use chompsms and have never had that problem, even with the quick reply feature.
I use the default sms, and have no such problem.
Get rid of the ( and ) in your contact numbers.
I don't know what to tell you man, I just tried this on Cog 2.3b3 and couldn't replicate your problem.
Perhaps you haven't found all required pieces to replicate the issue.
And shouldn't this be in the general Q&A forum?
I too have had this problem. Has gotten me in a lot of trouble also I just don't use the notification bar anymore. Your not the only one

I have had the issue with some of the ROMs. With 2.4, everything seems ok.
wow! I have not had this problem yet, but thanks for the heads up. this could really get me in trouble with the wifey.
This *almost* got my ass on fire. Thankfully it was vague and didnt cause any alarms. We gotta figure it out, and also. When i open up the messaging app from the icon on the home screen, instead of going to the person i was talking to last, it goes to someone in the middle of the convo list.
Now i made it a habit of looking at who im texting before clicking on the send button.

I have the same problem!
It is extremely frustrating and embarrassing sometimes! (especially if you are talking about a girl and you mistexted.... to the girl!)
Im running cog 2.2 and gonna upgrade to 2.4 to see if that fixes the problem.
I just switched to cog 2.3b4 from 2.4.1 and the issue is back. I am gonna try using the Mms.apk from the vibrant build to sweet if that fixes the problem.
It is annoying that my first couple hours on 2.3.b4 I already noticed the bug. I didn't have any issues with 2.4.1 in the few days I used it.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is are those having these issues (I have never had this issue) restoring old texts after flashing? Use handcent myself

I don't restore texts and I get this issue a lot. It seems to happen most when I'm already in one persons text, I get a notification for a new text from another person, so I go to the text using notification pulldown. Once i type and hit reply, it moves the text to the person who's text I was in before I recieved the new one.
I hope that wording makes sense lol.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841011 I just flashed that in cwm and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
I will see if it fixes the problem completely. It is really easy to apply if anyone else wants to try it.

Because you use hand cent is exactly why you don't get it.
I just about got into this very trouble the other day. I am running cog 2.4.1, and if I reply to a message from the drop down menu from the top, it sends it to the last person I was talking to in the messaging folder. Regardless of who it says you are texting! This really needs to be fixed. The person I'm talking about isn't always the last one I talked to!

Whoa, you got the issue on 2.4? I usually have the bug effect me once every couple days, but while on 2.4 I haven't noticed. I have been trying to make it happen with the vibrant mms.apk, but I haven't been effected yet.
I really hope designgears notices this problem and helps fix outif it exists in the vibrant based roms too.
Yep. And I do not restore messages either. When I wipe one, I wipe it!
I think it can be reproduced by going to the messages folder and texting some one. (Person a) then after you have replayed to person a, have person b text u. Answer with the pull down menu from the top. It worls the first time, not after that, and although it says its going to person b, it is really going to person a. Some times it takes several seconds for the names to change. I actually sent 3 txt back to back to the wrong person! Had to hit the back button to get back to the root of the message folder to see they all went to the wrong person. It clearly said it was going to person b!
....YES I KNOW THERE'S A NIGHTLY DISCUSSION FORUM....
This topic has washed around and around in Nightly Discussion and none of us have figured it out... UNTIL NOW.
With some help, actually most credit to the other member the Wake lock issue is solved I believe.
If you're running one of the CM 7 Nightlies and are experiencing Dialer as a PARTIAL WAKE LOCK, please check the following:
First, I bet you are using Google Voice and chose that as your voicemail service, right?
Menu > Settings > Call Settings >
Under Voicemail Service, what is showing? My guess is it says "My Carrier"
Click on it, select GV, let it prompt to dial the *28..... config number and complete it's process.
Then it returns you to the Call settings screen where Google Voice should be showing as your VM service.
Reboot, you're done.
I think something happens when first setting GV as the VM service. Personally my phone was behaving strangely when the first config ran, this is the issue and so far confirmed with several users.
I only posted new thread because this is important to many running CM Nightlies, and with 1000+ pages it would be lost on that specific thread.
Was getting Dialer partial wake even though GV was set correctly, so I don't think that was the problem. I don't see it being a problem anymore, wondering if it was fixed on the latest nightly.
I did this earlier today the wakelock was gone, but it's come back and it's still set to google under voicemail settings.

Normally, I would agree with you, but I think these days... I don't. This is a much more high caliber post when compared to people who want to ask about what PS3 game they should buy, or they got their cancer cured, or they just want to post about the new phone on sprint even though this is an EVO forum.
I say.... this post is refreshing!
Would be interesting if it was a discussion and not zomg I fixed the wakelock but it doesn't work for anybody but me
couldn't resist sorry. I really wish I knew why this was happening. I am also getting a wakelock with minimalist text that I cannot get rid of, though that one is not so bad
Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
Turning off Turn over silence in Call settings killed the dialer wakelock for me.....
.....nope.

Well I am really sorry to hear this didn't work for you guys. Like I said, on the Nightly forum and also over on the CM site there were about 15-20 users who confirmed this corrected the issue, furthermore there was no one claiming it didn't.
Just goes to show you how helpful it is to have a place to focus on a specific problem, i.e. THIS THREAD.
Anyhow, I realize most of you goobers think I should've posted under the nightly thread, whatever, this is the general forum and I can post as I see fit. Suck it.
I tried this too, and it didn't fix the issue. The dial battery usage still shows more than 90%. Every hour I lose at least 10% of battery ... Searched for other solutions, but no success.

I have never had a dialer wakelock problem. Went to sleep last night with 100% battery or so, woke up and had 94% or something like that 8 hours later
I just had a simular issue with this and wakelocks from Dialer. It was caused when I did a program from Verizon, changing my voicemail settings away from Google Voice.
ok so this is kinda weird.....I have my messager icon on the bottom and occasionally it will open up a different app.....not sure if it's entirely related to launcher pro.....but I am running it along with Bonsai ROM 3.0....anyone experience this?
On on bonsai to.with launcher pro and never had this happen.before. maybe your phone is trying.to tell you something. Lol

Sure you aren't accidentally swiping it and your swipe gesture is set to another app?

I'll wager $947 on that one.
I've tried almost every launcher and have never seen (random) behavior like that.
While it is highly possible the problem is what was posted above, I have seen elsewhere that people were having their sms app open something else. It doesn't seem widespread though.
Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
You sure you don't have it set up as a different app, with the messenger icon as it's custom icon?
I had some funny behavior like this when I had restored /data after flashing a rom. Some apps were being launched with the wrong icons and a lot of contacts were linking to the wrong info. I wiped data, reflashed and then used Titanium to restore everything and the problem went away.
It's only happened once and I restore /data a lot, so maybe that was it, maybe it wasn't. I was quite glad to have the problem disappear.
I've had this happen to me before too a few times. For instance, I'll hit the browser icon, and it'll take me to messaging.
I cant offer an explanation though.
You'll lose that bet cause I had that issue too ... lol
