[Q/REQ] Why is a WP7 Lockscreen unthinkable? - Android Software Development

Hi dear android community,
My question is: why is a WP7 Lockscreen for Android quite unthinkable?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989520
In threads like this often people ask for that kind of lockscreen but the answer is: no one did that yet.
Is it so difficult? I think no sourcecode, even if we had it, could be used for android development right? Therefore one had to write this program from the beginning?
I so eagerly want that lockscreen :/

Correct me, but i think this kind of lockscreen is possible to build with widgetlocker.

It looks like a full screen transparent status bar pulldown with an image on it to me...

Hmm, I have widgetlocker but am unable to customize it to make it look like the WP7 Lockscreen.

Yes, something like this...with nice looking date and time...nothing else I ask for

Look at galaxy s 2 lock screen
Its like that except screen can be unlocked by swiping the screen anywhere..
hopefully we can port it or something really like it.

Can you post a video with said lockscreen (galaxy s2?)

Cool, thanks. Yes, since this lock screen is closer to get a port to any other android I'm hoping for that...maybe I ask around in the S2 section for someone to extract it.

Our team is working on one. Cheers!

+1 I would like to see a thread to this as well, so that we can follow the development!

The thread was removed for various reasons I believe. They have a website dedicated to this project. I'm on the phone so I cant link it right now but its a pretty cool idea. They have some cool stuff cooking.

Yes, I saw the website. That really is great. I wait how things turn out, maybe I donate some bucks to support them. It really looks promising!

Thanks, I found a "bug":

finally a theme that can be applied to opendesire!
BTW my wifi icon looks different than on this screenshot?! I'm not getting a coloured one, but the original HTC Sense white icon
dargolf: im the same, im assuming if you dont have a full signal it will be green...?
also, it doesnt show H signal....just 3G, but no biggie
Actually the screenshots are a bit old. I replaced the colored icons with the stock HTC ones.
Cheers for this didnt see this thread, i just saw it posted in opendisre thread.
been using it though is really good.
would be good if apps were themed to
Great! Thanks for this! Battery % would be nice too ...

[Q] GummyJar Rotary Lock Screen on Rooted stock DX?

Is it possible to flash Gummy Jar's rotary lock screen on a stock, rooted DX?
Flash the ROM, or just get the widgetlocker app, it has the rotary option.

Evidently, Widgetlocker isn't too highly thought of right now judging the reviews in the market. Not something I want to pay for.
That's news to me, it is very widely used and well worth the money as it is really your only option.

Widgetlocker installed. I must say I am impressed.
Yes, widgetlocker is quite amazing, if I do say so myself! In answer to your original question though... No you can't pull the rotary lockscreen out of GummyJar. I asked Kejar about this, and he said it was not possible...
+whatever number for widget locker

The guy who made (and still works on) Widgetlocker is an active member on a bunch of forums (I think including here) so maybe poke around and PM him, or just email him. I am sure he would be happy to help.

[GUIDE]JKay Lockscreen Deluxe Glass Guide

Right for all the people who are having problems with lockscreen.
Alot of the times when i swiped my lockscreen it used to take me into camera or music player. Was getting very annoying. Tried everything and could not fix it..People said to me its in the settings and you disable it there...I could never find what they were saying...So after a bit of research i came with a solution...Throw the phone out the window just messing
Make sure you are using Jkay deluxe glass lockscreen. Then in lockscreen actions tap the first one (you get six actions). Once you tap it, it will give you in the screen of app selection. That is what you want to choose when you swipe the lockscreen to get into. Anyway when your there press menu and you have four options to choose. Press the not in use option and then come back out. Do the same thing for everything else except the unlock action.
Once you do all that reboot the phone and you should be able once you swipe your lockscreen to go straight into the homescreens.
Hope this little guide helps you guys out any problems give me a message.
Looks like this guide did come in handy for someone..Cheers mate.
Very handy guide. Thanks mate.
This should be stickied imo

btw, u r hitting 1000 posts in less than a month.. i haven't made 100 in nearly 3 years.
Thanks! That solved my annoying problem

this is what happens when you have time on your hands and looking for work buddy....keeps me mind of things and plus i like to learn about roms and themes so this is the place to start..and helping others as well so kinda makes me feel that people want my help when i can

Change Softkeys

The title says all, I haven't seen any thread or found with the search so I create this one. I would like to change the softkeys so if anyone has different softkeys show them off here I'd like to have new softkeys.
im running aokp and added a menu and a last app softkey in addition to the back/home/recent apps

I didn't mean to add more softkeys, what I meant is change the look of them. Sorry for the missunderstand.
Thank you. I'm glad someone finally said this. There is actually some nice mods for the nexus 7 over in their thread. It would be nice if someone made these same mods for the 10. If I knew how I would.

It looks like all of the pngs would need to be resized for these softkeys to work properly on the N10 and I don't have the time to do this.
Maybe try the SoftKeyZ app that @ShockBuddy mentioned here.

Just head over to the Candy Shop and find a bunch of modified soft keys. They were made for the Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus but will work on the Nexus 10. The only thing that won't work are the lockrings but there are instructions in the thread on how to modify those to work on the tablet. Search Candy Shop on XDA.
