how to enable clock widget on lockscreen (5.1.1) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have to ask in an own thread, because I get no answer in the ROM Threads.
I use Bliss Rom CM12.1 V3.5 and RESURRECTIONREMIX weeks before, there is the same fault:
and there is the clock widget which displays time, calendar and weather on lockscreen .... at least on kitkat.
In Android 5.1.1 there is a button for clock widget, but it doesnt work.
And second, I live in germany. Our standard date format is dd-MM-yyyy but in the roms the dateformat is MM-dd-yyyy
I know to change it in build.prop - but it doesnt change anything. I can edit and save it, but it seems not to change anything.
I'm sure you guys know, google castrated the language and Input settings, so I'm not able to change it easily.
Maybe anybody knows to change it?

Weather animations on home screen only, Verizon WinMo 6.5

Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).
I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.
So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I believe this is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall
This has the patch included already.
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...

Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
So now I have another question:
When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.
These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.
WVGA cab for custom wallpaper and animated weather:

Thanks, dj_doeboy!!!
does this work on sprints 6.1

I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.
Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.

[Q] Can i do feature request for development

I really love the Ladyboo Miui ROM (especially because it is dutch :-0 ). But i cannot get used to the radio icons (Antenna, Battery, Wifi) is it possibele to ask for the feature?
I have tried different Themes but then it changes to much of the layout.
Or is it possible to change only the icons , i have searched the phone, installed app for making, chancing icons but at no avail.
yc Redyak
Settings->Manage Themes->at the bottom 'Customize'...there U can change single settings for theme layout.
Thanks. I saw the Customize and when you pull that up i can change perfect.

Looking for theme for lockscreen only

I'm looking for a UI theme that can be applied to my phone which would only change the lockscreen portion, and leave the rest of the existing theme (icons, homescreen, settings, phone, contacts, etc) unchanged.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo model SM-G903W (Canada), running Android Nougat 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1 with TouchWiz Home 6.1.85.12. I am rooted, with TWRP.
I really dislike the standard theme lockscreen clock, which shows hours stacked on top of minutes.
The Samsung store has themes with a normal digital clock, but I don't want to change the rest of my UI, only the lockscreen. (I know I can install the new theme, then overwrite the icons and wallpaper with my old theme, but the settings menu and so forth remain with the new theme.)
Can anyone point me to a theme that only overwrites the lockscreen?
I'm talking about the clock format, not the lockscreen wallpaper (which is trivial to change).
Otherwise, is it possible to extract the lockscreen portion of a theme and install only that? It looks like Samsung themes are a closed system and development tools are hard to come by, so I'm not sure if any of the "Basic APK & Theming Thread" in the XDA-University forum is applicable. Advice on whether I can modify the theme myself would be appreciated. If this is something that would be simple to change using Sungstratum, then that could be an option.
Other ways to get a normal clock, which I have rejected:
- Install a new lockscreen app -- I'm happy with the functionality of the Samsung default lockscreen (except the ugly clock!)
- Create a permanent notification, which causes the clock to display on one line -- I don't want to have the notification
- Downgrade to Android 6 -- I'd like to stay with Nougat
- Samsung Good Lock app -- not compatible with Nougat on the S5 Neo
Thanks for any help,
Justin

Looking for theme for lockscreen only

This is actually an S5 Neo question, but something that works for the S5 may also work for me. I asked this question in the S5 Neo Q&A forum, but got no response, so I thought I'd try here.

An example which takes a desired set of icons from a theme package, and places it into an icon-only package, is given by this post: <https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/samsung-theme-store-icon-hack-icon-theme-t3628253>. I would be grateful for guidance on doing something similar with only the lockscreen from a theme package.

Dude, you can use just the lockscreen of a random theme. Just change the wallpaper

yeah i know i can use any theme, with lockscreen without that shortcut, but, see, i use the clock on the left of the lockscreen and the theme you show is on the center, so, even in settings you can change the position but since is a theme design they cant move for what side you want so...for me is a no go.
i just want a stock theme lockscreen with clock at left without shortcuts. i forget to say that, and its hard, really hard to find one theme with that specific rearangement.

Hey, bro
So, I did what I could now.
I took "Classic" Miui and change the lockscreen
1- I going to put "day of week" later. Only Chinese was working.
2- camera and flashlight still there but you won't see the icon.
Removed other tabs
Tell me if you see other bugs
Just extract the zip file and follow this.
To apply: themes -> my account -> themes -> import (end of the page) -> find the "Classic1.mtz" and apply.

Hi, so, only now i have tested the theme you made with the changes, but receive an error, see the bellow pic...click on it to see full image, the error appears on the bottom.
Cause i change the region to Brasil, in Portugal if we have that location we dont get the Themes app avaiable to install or download themes, so i change my region to Brasil, even India, get same error always.
