[Q] CM7 Lockscreen Wallpaper? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way in CM7 RC1 to change my lockscreen wallpaper?
I can't find it...
Thanks,
RA

No, standard android does not have separate wallpapers for the home and lock screens. Some market apps may allow it though, but I have never looked.

Thanks, I learned from another forum that it was MT4G sense that allowed it.

Possible to change lockscreen background?

Hi there,
Is it possible to just change the lockscreen background but leave the rest of the lockscreen the same?
I know that there are several applications which will provide an alternate lockscreen but I would much rather keep the original if possible.
Cheers.
I'd like to know this too. Even my HTC Tattoo could have separate wallpaper and lockscreen backgrounds. Why not on the desire?

At a guess it's something to do with the live wallpapers.
search the market for WidgetLocker.

lockbot is a good alternative, you get several styles of lock screen and all are customizable
Just installed Lockbot Free to check it out, not very impressed to be honest, the original lock screen appears for a couple of seconds before the Lockbot one which ruins the whole appearence.
Have I done something wrong or is this just how it is?
EDIT
OK, bought & installed WidgetLocker which seems much better. There is still a delay if you lock the phone & then turn the screen back on straight away where it shows the original lock screen but it is negligable. I haven't experimented with all the options yet but it seems pretty comprehensive.
just noticed the wildfire has the option to change lockscreen

HTC Flip Clock Weather Widget

Hi ok im not the brainest when it comes to my Hero. I have it rooted and im running Android 2.2 with Sense rom at the moment. Think its fantastic.
I love the Sense Weather flip clock widget, the main reason i like using sense, but is there any way to get a clear backgroung, or change the colour of the clock.
Thanks Steve
As far as I know you can't really modify Sense widgets and I doubt that will be looked in to anytime soon since most devs are trying to get a complete Sense Froyo. When that happens maybe they might look in to your question.

Its possible that I am completely off-base here, but AFAIK you can't re-sign sense .apk's correctly in a way that will work. So I don't believe you can make changes to sense widgets in this way.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Beautiful Widgets from the Market is the closest you'll get to a transparent Flip Clock. Once installed go into it's settings and look through the downloadable clock skins. There's loads that look like the Sense Flip Clock. It's not free, but it is pretty cool.
I use it when running ADW Launcher... and then I get bored and switch back to Sense... and then vise versa!
Error on startup with clock
I am using the the weather & toggle app on my rooted nook tablet. I have the weather and flip clock on my home screen and it works fine until I power down the device. After the power down where the clock should be it says" Problem loading widget"
I am a noob here but this string was about the clock so I hope Im posting in the right place.
Thanx!!
Lirasina themed the clock so it is possible. Actually, I can take a look into it, shouldn't be too hard. Which Rom do you want me to do it for?
sent with love from me to you
Animated weather widget&clock is quite similar to the HTC sense.
However, in the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276544
there is a link for the HTC sense style clocks. I don't know if they work in other roms.

I dont have the tablet but when my flip clock (on my phone) has problems a simple "remove" and replacing of the widget generally fixes it. Then again, I don't have a tablet so maybe it's the rom…or ???

Not really crazy, what do you want me to change?
Edit: Is there an old style Sense clock in ZeroHero or only the new Sense 3.5 one?
Didnt work. I have to delete the clock from my home page and put it back everytime I power down. Could someone look into this. There has to be some way or some clock similar that doesnt have this problem.
Thanx!!

Lockscreen Wallpaper

Hey does anyone know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper make it different than the homescreen?
Yes in tools mode
MIUI rom has this natively There are lockscreen apps that will work for this purpose, but not sure that there is really a way to do this natively on most roms.

Ya widgetlocker will do this, not sure if pulling your framework and changing the default wallpaper would do anything.

[Q] Different Lockscreen Wallpaper

Are there any apps that will allow the lockscreen wall to be independent of the launcher wall for HC?
The GTab 10.1 has this feature built-in. When you select a picture you can set as lockscreen or desktop wall...Haven't seen this anywhere for the Transformer .
Yes. Search the market for lockscreen replacements. Since they are 3re party they can assign their own wallpapers.
Is it called Widget Locker? Even allows customization of the lockscreen for different Widgets

Thanks for the response.
Yea, I actually use WidgetLocker on my Evo, one of the first apps I bought . I should have specified I would like to use the stock HC lock. I'm sure I could make WL look just like it, haven't looked into it.
Clearly it can be done as Samsung built it into the GTab, maybe someone could port that over at some point...
Multipicture live wallpaper does that.

Thanks for the response, I have actually used that before. I just don't like how even if I use a static image, it is considered a Live WP, which I can't stand as it slows everything down ...
Well I'm raising money to port the entire galaxy rom. Currently have $145.
You could throw some money to help the cause.

[MIUI] Remove Theme manager from lock screen

I got this device for my parents. So I'm not going through trouble of rooting and flashing custom roms.
So I thought to debloat all the miui stuff.
By far I've pretty much been successful, disabling apps through adb.
What I can't get around is the fact that there is a custom mechanism through which lock screen is being shown. This app called Theme manager (com.android.thememanager) is enabling something called wallpaper crousel.
Now I've disabled both, but doing so sets a default static wallpaper. I want it to be same as home screen (rotating Goohle wallpapers). But there seems no way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated, just want to get to stock lock screen or at least set same home screen / lock screen wallpapers.
I have a rick that worked. go themes than go to live wallpapers set any one live wallpaper from the themes app on both homescreen and lockscreen now go to google wallpaper app and set a wallpaper on homescreen and lockscreen this will work on recent miui 10 roms.
