I like having a different wallpaper on the lockscreen than the homescreen, but a lot of the ROMs don't support that. GravityBox does that, but it's too heavy weight for my taste (oh so many features!). A lot of people have been asking for the See Through blurred lockscreen from SaberMod and PA4.0 as well, so I figured I will write a module myself :)

Requirements
  • Xposed Framework
  • Android KitKat (Stock Google or AOSP)

Features
  • Set lockscreen background with solid color
  • Set lockscreen background with custom image from gallery
  • Set lockscreen background as a semi-see-through "frosted glass" (SaberMod and PA)

Known issues
  • Custom image only works for local images (from gallery)

I wrote this mostly for myself, and I don't expect to keep adding features. I have only N5 and N7 2013 (and they both run 4.4.2) so I probably won't support anything below KitKat.

Hmm, I can't get the blur to work, it just shows my default wallpaper. Neither does the custom image mode.

Do you think something else could be interfering? I'm on a Moto X.

Seems to be hit/miss for me. Sometimes the blur works, other times I just get my default lock screen. Weird.

See through works for me but custom image shows as a black screen.
Personal request - please hide the icon from the app drawer, it can be accessed via the Xposed installer so no need to clutter up the screen with yet more icons.

Many thanks
Adrian

Edited: colour fill works.
When selected a custom image, a toast message briefly flashes up saying 'no application installed' then 'background changed'. If I select a .png from inside my file manager, the Xperia Album starts and shows the image so the file association is there. Any ideas?

Running 4.4.2 on an SGS4:

* Color fill works fine
* Custom image works fine. Blur as well.
* See through works fine. Tinting makes no difference however.

All in all: happy :good:

Even if you don't plan on supporting under KK, could you compile with API level 16 instead of 19? Maybe it runs just fine on JB and it would be a shame to pass on this module if it does.

I will do that after I clean up all the debugging junk in my code.

Do you have GravityBox installed?

Does it work when you use the lockscreen settings on GravityBox? it is the same code.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I knew a lot of things will break for something so low level in the system :crying:
Can you try the followings if things are not working correctly?
  • None of the modes work, or it just gives me a black lockscreen - if you have similar modules installed, try deactivating them
  • Setting custom image doesn't work - try using GravityBox and see if it works there

I think I have an idea why the see through works on and off. I will upload a test build when I get off work tonight.

Thanks!

See through style not working

I have a nexus5 with stock rom and kitkat 4.4.2. All the styles work, except the see through.

    Two builds ago Slim made some changes to the lockscreen code to allow things like no frames on widgets, full coloring on everything on the lockscreen, and lockscreen rotation. I'm sure something that was changed is causing the module to not work at all anymore on Slim as I have experienced the same thing. Tested by flashing the previous build without all the lockscreen changes and the module worked. It'd be awesome if you got the module working for Slim users but I understand if you didn't since it's near impossible to get/keep this working on every ROM on every device.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm on SlimKat for GT-I9300 (International Samsung Galaxy S3) and since last update (SlimKat build 3.10) I can't set a background style. Simply do nothing when setting any option. It's like no Xposed Framework installed. All my other mods work fine and I've been using this mod from start.

    Any idea? Fix?

    Thanks!!!

    I've found the cause for this. Slim changed the method signature to accept different parameters, so Xposed is now unable to find and hook that particular method. Shouldn't be hard to fix.

    Alright new test build. I flashed the stock 4.4.2 ROM tonight and fixed a few of the remaining problems. Also refactored a large portion of the code so it should be faster and more reliable now.

    Again if it doesn't work, follow the instruction in this post and report with your result.

    EDIT: If you are seeing cases where relocking the phone from lockscreen clears the image, try this build.
