go to the market and look up lockbot pro and that will get you the new lockscreen from the droid.

also here is the background.

DFRESH

I installed Lockbot on my phone and it gave me nothing but problems! I had to uninstall it...

Droidone

I have tried the last three updates and it worked fine for me. It can be a little laggy sometimes but works pretty good.

SilHero

i installed LockBot Pro v1.9.3 and its been working great for a few days now, still kinda laggy compared to the stock lockscreen, but im lovin the notification bar n the customization too much to switch back

TF1984

The first three times I tried to use it, i.e. open and create a theme my phone completely locked up. Each time resulted in a battery pull. But the next time it finally worked and I haven't had an issue since.

I really like this background....I know many others have it, but the background gives it a good way to set up the phone, so I'm sticking to it!

I think I'm going to give Lockbot a shot again ...maybe! we'll see...

Removing the stock HTC lockscreen completely
completely fixed the lag issue for me. It is now just as fast to come up and unlock as the Htc slide unlock. And no more pocket dialing!!

rockcrawlers, thanks. I think I'm going to have to do that myself....

I'm a HUGE fan of Lock Bot. Been using it for the past 3 weeks and love it. It was buggy at first and there was an issue with the home key in one of the earlier releases (home key would unlock the phone, thus allowing for butt dialing). Now, though, they've tightened it up and added more themes. I'm loving the Flan lock screen. The taskbar access from the lockscreen is clutch as well. Very handy.

Been running the transparent lock, today I tried Lockbot Pro. Kinda liked it, but does add too much lag, IMO. Even with a single lock and no rotation on a simple background. Uninstalled. My lock is again transparent with the date/time only.

that Flan lock screen only comes with the PRO version right?

TF1984

Rockcrawler,

Could you be more specific about removing the HTC Lock Screen? Are you running this command from CMD? after moving to #symbol?

I tried : Pull /system/app/htclockscreen.apk but it returns
pull: .apk not found.

rockcrawler

The location is :

notice the capitals in HtcLockScreen

also,download Fresh's pre-kitchen. It has a pull, backup delete ferature. Its really sweet. You can get it HERE. One you DL and unzip open it up and got to:

It will then prompt you for a location to create a backup of the file in case you would like to push it later. Then it will ask you to verify that the file is there locally and prompt you that it will now delete it. its a really sweet utility, everyone should give it a try.

Hope that helps. If anything is unclear, just let me know.

TF1984

OH! Well I didn't think to use the Kitchen...its already installed. I also didn't realize capitals impacted the command. thanks. trying it now...

If you don't hear back it either worked or my PC exploded and killed me.

Loved Lockbot on my Moment - curious to try on my Hero. Those who remove the stock Lockscreen apk, does music control work on the lockscreen still?

NCKK

SilHero

hey what is the volume controll bar that u have on this screen, above slacker radio?

cvam1985

Love the Flan lock so much bit the bullet and redownloaded LockPro. I deleted the stock APK and seems so far so good....
Every now and then I get a default android lock "Press Menu to Unlock" which is kinda annoying....

Here's my screens! Fun thread

mkdauff

I did it last night and just found out today that you do lose music control. Will pushing that apk get that function back? Definitely a necessity...

cvam1985

Yeah I discovered that on my own after the installation. Not a deal breaker for me though since Lockbot lets you access the notification bar, which will let you get to your music.

JB in AZ

khaag27, I realy like your background, would you be willing to post it and share it? Thanks!

NCKK

That's AudioManager in the Marketplace.
It comes with that widget, and a smaller one. I saw someone on here with the smaller one, somewhere...

I just thought it looked cool. I kind of want a widget that size, but with like a tape deck looking thing. For the Music on the phone... lol

dmm5157

Yeah, I have the smaller widget on my phone (I think it's in one of the screen shots above). Just wish it would allow you to adjust the volume from the widget without opening the app.


Only problem is mine force closes due to error pretty often. Not sure if it's my settings or a problem with the program, but I've noticed it happen once a day or so.

I like to keep my homescreens uncluttered for simplicity and for speeds sake. I'm only using 3 screens right now and I have space for one full-widget or more icons on one of them. Can't decide what to put there yet.

Anybody know how to change the icon of a folder?

cvam1985

If you take a look at my screen you see the icon called "Apps" - that's actually a folder I created using an app called "Apps Organizer" from the market.

It's really great. As far as I know though the only thing you can put in it is apps, but I believe the dev makes similar versions for contacts and other stuff. I recommend it!

Here's how it looks open. You can see it's a bit different from the default folder interface....I like it better personnally.

Or you can DL an app called Better cut. Then download different icon packs, and customize that way.

cvam1985

Bettercut is wonderful, but as far as I know it does not have the ability to make and edit folders.

mkdauff

No, but I can help you get that disgusting bird off of your background.

SilHero

+1

i personally recommend Better Cut and dl the glass icons they are pretty sweet, but they are not on the market...

NewbieX2

I love the big digital clock with the weather attached to it. How does one get this?

cvam1985

Beautifulwidgets in the market. Comes with lots of great Widgets. My screen has the included "Smaller Home" widget.

flammenwurfer

haha, I wondered if I'd get any comments about that. Who's your team?

dmm5157

Try using App Organizer in conjunction with whatever icon packs you want (tons are free out there).

You can create labels and make shortcuts to them, and customize the icons. That's how I did mine. I downloaded and used the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista icons. Moved them to my SD card to save room on my phone and the icons still work.

Here's a sample of some I've made and use with great success. The top 4 icons are all ones I've done myself




These two below are what you see when you click on one of the AppOrganizer icons you put on the desktop. Works just like a folder. You can also sort them to be the "stared" (favorites) to show up first.

flammenwurfer

Thanks for the pointers guys. Since I am only using 3 of my homescreens, I suppose I could just use one more and fill it with my games.

mkdauff

KState, of course! We've got a big game coming up here in a couple weeks. You guys are looking pretty strong, but I have seen some weaknesses over these past couple games. I'm excited for it though, should be a good match up!

flammenwurfer

Cool. Yeah, we've got plenty of talent, they just aren't playing well at all right now. I have faith that Self will get it all figured out sooner or later though. I don't expect to lose to you guys in Allen Fieldhouse (at least I hope not), but I wouldn't be surprised at all if you get us in Manhattan. We'll definitely have to bring the A game this year.

We probably shouldn't muddy up this thread with bball talk, haha. You can shoot me a pm if you wanna chat some more.

Wiskid

lol... I like how you've got a dude named "F@g" as a contact... :S

NewbieX2

Thank you very much! Looks great!

98classic

i only use one screen, 1.6 on hero

flammenwurfer

Very nice!

What icons are you using? And how did you get 1.6 on your hero? GSM Hero? or Sprint Hero?

98classic

This is mine. I added a blank one, there are 3 more blank screens but I didn't think it would be necessary.

I don't know... I thought that was how I was doing it.
I know I was changing them somehow, when I had that and Openhome installed.
It had to have been one of those, didn't it?
