I was making a theme for my brother and I can't figure out how to set a new lock screen image. I'm unsure what folder and what the name of itshould be to make it the new default. Thanks.

It most likely is in framework-res/ drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi folder and be called keyguard_default_wallpaper.png but I have also seen the name keyguard_bubble_sky.png
This may depend on the ROM you have installed. Also I have seen SOME Roms have it located in a folder in system/wallpaper and named lockscreen_default_wallpaper.jpg Again depending on the ROM.

Give me a few minutes and I will link a flashable zip with ONLY the needed files/names in their locations. You can then unzip the file, replace all three files I listed above in the correct spots and make sure the names are exactly spelled the same and overwrite the lock screen wallpapers I have in it. Then zip it back up and flash it.

Here you go. Unzip this and replace YOUR lock screen wallpaper in the system/wallpaper folder, the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi, framework-res/res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi folders and you will cover ALL the bases.

Wow man thanks. I'm trying to take the next step in understanding themeing and I've seen this 360dp folder with an image called default_wallpaper that replaced the lockscreen but i could not figure where it put it in the original framework that made it work. I asumed the coding(in this case I was exploring an apk) was how it was placed because i couldnt find a default_wallpaper in my framework. I found the the one i set in my phone in the data/data/something but didnt thibk i could flash something to that folder configuration. Thats above and beyond making the zip for me! Awesome. Thank you.
HI
I have and aftermarket cover and it used to work flawless with kitkat. I updated recently and now it doesnt. Phone freezes when i flip the cover , cannot answer calls etc..
If sm1 who is still in kitkat could extract scover.apk and another relative apk (i dont remember the name but has "cover" in it ) it would be so nice.
Thanks
The quickest way to get an apk, rather than wait for someone to post it, is to download a rom and unzip it and take what you need.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a stock 4.4.2 rom in my pc but cant seem to decompress it. I can see system.img.ext4 (2.2Gb so this must be the main archive) but dont know how to extract that archive. Tried 7zip winzip winrar nothing works.
Thanks
Is it a tar or a zip?

A kit-kat apk most likely won't work on a lollipop rom anyway. Try finding a stock lollipop rom and test the apk from that.

It's a tar.
As for the second suggestion I am currently on stock firmware so that's the problem.
First, you would need a stock rom in zip form. Second, look for a custom stock based rom around here, it may have an apk that works.
Hello everyone,
As you all know, Un-Official themes for JB/KK/LP require SuperUserMod, And to make it work on non-rooted your theme must be signed by Sony ( that's what i've been told ) .
But, Now i got some reports that people can make themes without the needs for root, using Theme Creator Beta, without Sony Signing keys .
So, Where's the secret in making it work on non-rooted devices ?
As myself, i can't work on Theme Creator, it's buggy, very basic theming tool, and doesn't support every change, That's why i need to find the way to make it work using Apktool ( manual theming ) .
Hope to get some help from devs/themers here, because this is being a really annoying problem for me in making themes .
In other way : it's Apk Signture related, or assets building related?

From what i've seen, some of the themers used a theme from play store which were officially released by Sony and modded only png's. Since its literally replacing only images, it didn't even need apktool but only Winrar and a little knowledge of which png's to be replaced. Other than this, even i'd be curious to know if there is another way.. Sad that sony has a theming tool but nothing to make it work on non-rooted devices.

I've contacted @Ambor , Who is an official Sony Themer, but that's not related to his themes, he said Sony didn't sign or do anything to his themes, but his themes work on non-rooted devices, even though his making it using Apktool ( some of them ) .
I'm gonna do little tests and report back.
Update, Important Update!
You DO NOT need Sony Signing keys, it's assets related, something in the assets make it for non-rooted, maybe the building way or anything, anyway here's how did i know :
Downloaded Official non-rooted theme, Ok ? .
Took an asset from my theme, and replaced it with the stock one .
Tested the modded-stock theme, it says " app not installed " .
-----
Took an asset from stock theme and added it into my theme .
Tested, same " app not installed " .
-----
Took an asset from my theme and replaced with Stock theme asset .
Signed it ( i signed only this version ) .
Tested, Installed, And changed everything expect the asset i replaced .
----
Which means, Assets are the related files, not Apk Final Signing .
NOW, the question about what's related to it!
Hope this help, I wanna help this community, most of the themers ( about 8-9 ) blocked me, and the other replied with " i don't know " :|, So please be a true XDA Member, and be helpful .
Will keep the thread updated.
Update #2 :
Now i've made a way to fix the rooting permissions, but it's annoying way, the idea in using assets from Theme Creator Beta, and decompile them and add new images, after that compile then and replace them with the current assets .
And your theme will work on non-rooted devices .
But, Signing from userkeys won't make it for non-rooted ( someimtes ) .
How did i know ? :
Made a theme .
Copied a ready asset from Creator Beta .
Signed with testkeys.
Worked!
------
Made a theme.
Decompiled and recompiled that asset ( without changes ) .
Pushed & tested
Worked!
----
Made again
Modded that asset and added new files
Recompiled & Pushed
Didn't change
--------
So what's up and why, don't ask me :3 But here's the way for making it for non-rooted devices! hope this help you out.
As always, will keep it updated.
Update :
Signing Theme with your own keys will keep it working on non-rooted Devices .
For Assets, You Must Use the ones provided by Theme Creator Beta, and then decompile it and modify the icons, after that you can recompile it and put it and it will work without root.
But you can't add new icons to the assets, dunno why.
Anyone can help in this it will be awesome .

After adding new icons delete public.xml then recompile and than decompile again (for the formation of the new public.xml)then recompile.

It won't work, tried it before i posted this thread .
I've just tried my last move.
In short, You MUST build the assets via Theme Creator, you can't add new PNG/Files, you can't modify the exiting icons, you need to open the asset via Winrar, and extract the image, then modify it, finally re-add it to the asset ZIP .
If anyone with Advanced Java Knowledge, can give a look at Theme Creator, it can be edited.

Mate, Changing Walls / Accent colors doesn't require Theme Creator, And adding accent color for widgets also doesn't require Theme Creator, I'm using Apktool ( manual editing / theming ) .
The Main question is : What the secret in non-rooted assets , simple question, with no answer .

I'm talking about non-root themes.
And you are talking about supporting non-themable files/pngs in the Apks.
Please, re-read my post.

Well thank you but I solved it using The guide by Ambor. Now the themes are working very fine... With all assests modified.
I wanted to know if there's any easy way to import theme creator project to android studio rather than setting up the whole thing again????

If you are rooted it might be easier to get substratum theme engine from google play, as it let's you change your ui look and many other things. There's also an app called otgsubs that allows you to create substratum on the go. You also need substratum themes. I like DNA dark or grvy. There's a ton if them floating around.
