I've searched for a while and I havent been able to find a definite answer.
In one thread that pulled up during my search I read someone tried to install it but it wouldnt work and one possible reason was that they were running a stock odex'd rom.
I too am running stock 2.1. The only modifications I've made is removing the Sprint-ware. But I really want to get rid of the default Epic lockscreen.
Another thread I searched in was the thread with the deodex'd rom and I came across this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8411773&postcount=11
Which says the update broke the Vanilla Lockscreen mod. If I read that right, the vanilla lockscreen didnt appear to work with the deodex'd rom either.
Has anyone been able to successfully get the Vanilla Lockscreen working on a stock device with root? I dont really want a custom ROM since I havent been able to notice a difference between stock and custom. Also stock runs just fine for me.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried doing all the searching I can with no luck.
YES! I absolutely second this motion. Ha ha. I've actually considered getting rid of my Epic for an Evo based solely on the fact that the lockscreen is the worst designed POS I've ever seen. Up is the most unnatural way to slide your thumb for the most common function on the phone. I'd love to see ANY other lockscreen on here. I haven't looked extensively, but I have browsed and googled it and can't seem to find anything.
Sorry if this isn't the answer you are seeking, but floating around somewhere I believe there is a rooted and deodex'ed (and nothing else) stock ROM. I was using Epic Experience before getting on this 2.2 fix. It's mostly stock and very stable from my experience.

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
So this is my first time doing anything like this to a phone, I believe I installed it to the rom? its the nexus one gingerbread rom. whenever I turn it on it goes straight to android. I was just having a couple of problems and was wondering if they were just something to do with the fact that I have an unofficial install and there's bound to be bugs or if they're android problems with remedies. One thing is after having my phone on for a while the messaging app starts to lag. the keyboard takes a while to pull up and when I try to send a message it hangs, deleting threads doesn't help but its fixed if I reboot. The other thing is when I get picture messages the picture is really blurry, its almost like, its zoomed in too far but I can't zoom out. I've looked the problem up and apparently it was really common on the tmobile nexus ones (I have a tmobile HD2) but it was fixed in one of the updates. As far as I can tell I have the most recent update but if anyone could throw some input it'd be much appreciated
Never used the ROM you did and never experienced the problemes you had.
So can't really help. I would suggest you try more ROMs before you find the one for you.

i know it would be quite time consuming but alot of times there are quirks in the roms like the blurry MMS and if you look through the forum that you downloaded the rom from i bet youll find the answer to these issues.. maybe even post the questions on the forum. these roms are awesome becasue you have the choice of sooo many styles. there is a post called the Nand Bible in the Nand General section that shows a good variety of different ROMs to try. For Tmo i use the Glacier < aka mytouch 4g rom > by MotoMan and its a great rom and built for tmobile spacifically so is really nice all the settings match right away.
i hope this helps some..
I would just try some other ROMS, a lot of people jump around until they find one that suites them best. I know in some ROMs the blurry MMS is a known issue, and you get that pixel-ridden "low res" look.
When looking at the ROMs, generally they'll post a small "Whats working/whats not" type of section, which may give you a preview of what your getting into. Remember to follow the devs instructions for flashing for the best results.
I don't know if I'm the only one to notice this, but every. single. rom. after HKTW has been an asbolutely lag fest on when using your finger for 'slide to unlock'. When I first isntalled HKTW I was so satisfied and exclaimed "FINALLY, SMOOTH UNLOCK BAR GOODNESS".
Unfortunately this glee was not met with any custom roms based on source code since. I dunno what happened. I never noticed any improvements anywhere else in phone usability besides the lockscreen between these roms and I'm just hoping someone has an answer or knows what I'm talking about.
Alien rom - No dice
Cherry pi - no dice
CM7 - sad to say, no dice. However has the most utility out of all the other roms available which is amazing.
Widget locker doesn't help. Silly tricks from droid X2 (who has the same problems but managed to fix somehow..) don't help. Removing blur (CM7 does this right?) didn't do anything. I'm really confused what else can cause this dual core DUAL CORE PHONE to perform so horrendously on the basic basic of tasks: swipe to unlock.
I apologize if this sounded angry, I just want someone to feel my pain.

I don't feel your pain. My lock screen unlocks at a 1000fps. Almost too smooth, on Cyanogenmod!
I've rarely seen any lockscreen lag either..and when I did it was usually from SetCpu being too low for Screen Off. The only constant in your scenario (multiple ROM's) is your phone..which probably has something on it (app) interacting with it funny would be my guess..
This is EXCELLENT news then!
As far as I know there are no apps running that create this issue. (to my limited knowledge of course!) symptoms are felt on fresh wipe and install of any rom BUT HKTW.
Is there a deeper wipe I can use on the phone to ensure every byte of data is completely ERADICATED before installing cyanogenmod? I'm willing to try anything except taking her back to the store.
Apologies for my enthusiam.

"fastboot erase system -w" I believe will do a much better wipe than just doing it thru CWM. Someone please correct me if i'm wrong though..
Here's a link with more info:

At work so fastboot isn't an option. I'll update when I get home though.
Thanks for help so far!
If cm7 rotary revamp isn't smooth, neither is the iPhones unlock slider. I have absolutely no lag on my end.

Yea switch to cm7. No lag anywhere.

Update:
Fastboot wipe didn't help me at all. I installed Alien 4 today and no joy.
Went back to HKTW and everything is working the way I expect it to.
I have to be doing something wrong, no way this super duper beta software is more stable for me than all the other roms. I've been using Navalynt's HKTW rollup fix mod.
Is it kernel related possibly? I'm so curious I want to start developing just to see if there's a major difference..
I am using Pi-Cust and I too had lag with the stock lockscreen but with widget locker, I see no lag what so ever. I tried beta 1 of CM7 and I didn't see any lag in the lockscreen there either. It is definitely a blur thing. If you use Widget locker, make sure you disable the stock lockscreen though.
HKTW Gives no lag with stock lockscreen. All other roms show no difference between widget locker and stock lockscreen besides the utilitiy the app gives (widgets on lockscreen, custom slider etc). I'm sure blur can be an issue but I'm not experiencing any, I just installed HKTW and everything works perfectly. =\ I skipped blur setup as usual and have no problems..
Update:
Installed Faux123's kernel and it broke everything. I get the feeling I'm the only person interested in this (maybe not many people have tried HKTW?)
Incase anyone is.. Here is the rom I'm using.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142674
however it bootloops if you install it over CM7. I installed Alien 4 and then HKTW on top to stabilize. If you full wipe like usual and install HKTW it bootloops. =\
If it helps, when HKTW was first released I used the fastboot method of install. Not sure if that clues anyone into my issue or not.
my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

i tried to use less widgets... but doesn't really change much...
it is very random, but in my experience it appears more often when battery is low
do you feel the same?
i hope it can be fixed, i'm seriously thinking to sell it because of that (but who will buy it..?)

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...
as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

Did you go full stock no unlocked bootloader..? Not just run a stock rom.

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see
It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?
To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader
After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb
Sent from a GalaxyS2 far away with Amiga 1200
been putting this off but the install update popup is killing me. i like my 7 as is, its rooted, not romed, i have the stock browser from my nexus phone working well, much better than firefox does with flash. over all, i just wanna make the update pop up go away. i don't see any roms i want to try, and all the so called stock update roms, seem to have issue 16 pages into the thread.
from what i can tell, the stock browser from the nexus phones will not work after the update, so i'm stuck with firefox crash fest to use flash. and to get it to update, i will have to flash back to stock, update, re root and then reset everything up. this sounds like a total pain at this point, to have it do nothing but get rid of the update popup.
someone set me straight, have i missed an easy update way, a stock updated rom that isn't crap and a verison of the stock browser that works on it, oh and anyone know if the news widget works after the update? i really like having that from the phones too. or just a way to hide the update pop up?
i've run so many different roms on my old d1 and like sourcery on my nexus. but on my tab, i like it how it is, well with apex launcher. anyway i find to update it, seems like i'm giving something up.
any thoughts?
You could try this.
