[THEME] eViL Lockscreen Port!

After converting from G1 to Hero I am amazed by the lack of themes for hero, I would of though there be at least colour changes??
Anyway after giving myself a crash course on package stripping building and signing I've come up with this

None of work was mine, I just re-packaged it to run on Hero's Custom ROM's.

Download Modaco 2.2 to 2.8 version here >>http://www.4shared.com/file/137484516/5a864521/update.html

Will it run on other ROMs, do you need root?

ratcom · Oct 3, 2009

Yep you will need root I'm afraid. It should work on both 2.2 & 2.3 MoDaCo's rom

How does this fit in with music player? As that curves around the curved bar...?

Works fine

I've just tested it on my updated Orange hero...seems to be working fine at the moment and no problems..........but does anyone know if this isn't safe to do (cause some future problems)? Should I not use it and revert back because I dont have the modaco rom installed?

ratcom · Oct 3, 2009

should honestly be fine

morrax · Oct 3, 2009

It looks awsome thank you!

Tried this with the stock RUU EU Rom and it worked fine.

Wondering about the transparent background that Evil uses, is that just a Transparent image i could make in photoshop or is there much more to it?

You will need to push this onto your phone for it to work (make sure you are in recovery mode BEFORE pushing)

I used these commands......

Code:

adb shell mount /system adb push c:\com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework

Once I know how I will make this into update.zip for ease

can you please explain step by step how you did that? i know there are instructions on these forum, but they do not work for me (especially i would like to know, how you signed the apk again?)

christonge · Oct 4, 2009

Nice one mate and great to see you here on Hero!

christonge · Oct 4, 2009

I found these instruction here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467639

Before using this you need to know how to set this up:

I will assume that you have the sdk downloaded and extracted somewhere(if not, do that now), extract both files to the tools directory of your sdk.

Now you will need to add the tools dir of your sdk to the environment variable CLASSPATH.(seem to work with windows 7)

To do this, right click on My Computer click properties, then choose the tab that says advanced. Click the button that says environmental variables. Go to system variables find the one that says CLASSPATH, double click it, go to the end of variable value. There should be a semicolon ; at the end. type in the path to the testsign.jar located in the tools directory of your SDK, for example the path to my testsign.jar was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools\testsign.jar If CLASSPATH is not in your system variables then create it. Secondly, Find the system variable called PATH and add to the end of it, the full path to your sdk directory. For example, mine was c:\sdk\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools

Now right click the reg file that you extracted and choose to install it, or merge.

Now, right click an apk, do you see an option that says ResignApk? That's how you will resign your .apks and .zips.

If you find the right click menu not working for some reason you can type the following in cmd to sign your files: java testsign whateverfiletosign

Now through doing this you have done two things, first off you have made the resigning process extremely easy, secondly you will not have to cd to the tools dir of the sdk to use adb or any other tool in the sdk.

Does this just install now with the custom bootloader? ie, click on update.zip and it will do the rest?

Fantastic, looks great. Got any more?

Is there a way of theming the main UI ?

nicelad_uk · Oct 7, 2009

Got this on and its perfect so I put it on my brothers, he's not too keen. How do we revert back to the default lockscreen?

Is there a way to remove the dark transparent curve on the music player and also the dark transparent box that covers the lower part of the screen when you get a message or touch the screen? That would make this already great mod perfect
Thanks
