[MOD] Honeycomb-inspired Lock screen for CM7 - beta

---

I have been working on a lock screen that I will be submitting to CyanogenMod upon finishing but wanted to let you guys check it out and give me some feedback. It is in very early stages of development but so far it works and I must admit, it's pretty cool.

The lock screen widget that I made is inspired by the honeycomb lock screen. The idea is simple: there is a small circle inside a larger circle, and when you drag the small circle to the outer circle it triggers an action (i.e. unlock, sound off, custom app.)

What works so far:
As you can see in the screenshots the outer circle has been separated into two "arcs." The arc on the right triggers a screen unlock, and the arc on the left triggers sound on/off.

Yes, I know the widget covers up the time/date text but that can easily be moved around. I will worry about that later. Right now I am focusing on functionality.

What's to come:
Soon I will be adding a third arc for custom applications. I may add two more arcs which may be customizable. So, if you choose, you can have 2, 3, or 4 arcs that each trigger a different action.

Now for the fun part..

If you want to install this and try it out (and I would really appreciate if you did)

EDIT: I botched the flashable zip. Attached a zip with framework folder. Extract, do this:

adb shell stop
adb remount
adb push /path/to/framework/ /system/framework
adb shell reboot

Note: this framework was built with an old source (3 or 4 days old). I can almost guarantee it will cause some apps to force close and possibly display some weird icons here and there. Source is being synced now. If you want to try, backup your framework.

To backup,

adb pull /system/framework/ /path/to/backup/folder

Restore,

adb push /path/to/backup/folder /system/framework/

Enjoy and please lend me some feedback!

I don't see the flashable zip? Thanks a lot for this, its awesome. Now we just gotta get the circle smaller and the colors right and it will be great thanks!

Yeah sorry about that. I posted new instructions

Okay so i tried it, I think it has a lot of potential. Gave me some fc's with apps and my status bar was kinda messed up, but the lockscreen functionality is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing this development!

Yeah I just realized I'm getting some force closes too. I'm sycing my source right now so I will have an up to date version soon that won't break anything. And hopefully some lock screen updates too

I'm on build 2, I'm not sure how much the framework has changed from then..

I'm on build 2 as well. The lock screen works but I get browser, gallery, and probably some others force close. It is good to try for now but no good for long term use until I finish syncing the latest source

Yeah sounds good. Good work
