OK so I tried two different lock rings and nothing happened. Then I tried glow dots and it worked so I guess I am doing it right. Anyone know what's the issue for the lock ring not working?

Are you using a theme? Only reason I ask is I know sometimes the theme prevents softkeys from taking effect, but I'm not sure about lockrings

Can't believe we forgot this one. If you are using a theme that themes the lockring it won't work. Anything that gets themed will over ride these mods.

I have actually asked the devs of some themes if they wouldn't mind changing up their theme so it doesn't over write the lock ring and the nav buttons. Some of them are ok with and others get upset. While i do understand them getting upset, i can really appreciate the ones that will make a special copy. It is always worth asking. In my opinion anyways...

Its a vanir wallpaper from any vanir based ROM...I'll see if I have it laying around or u can extract it from one of there ROMs.
How exactly would I extract it from the rom? I downloaded a few different vanir roms and unzipped them, but I can't find any images included. Does something need to be extracted further? Thanks for any assistance.

The reason it doesn't work is because we are changing the image but using the same name, where a theme says if there is an image with that name redirect to the themes image. So no matter what image is there the theme is telling it to use the image it has instead. For example, we replace search_light (the image at the bottom of lockscreen, dotted circle) with dotted square but still use the name search_light so it overwrites it. A theme uses an image with a different name, and uses a code to tell it to redirect Searchlight to its image, named something completely different, like com.android.themedimage. That's where the issue is. You could manually edit the apk, but we don't want to tamper with someone else's work. And there may be other work arounds but we would have to change things to work with each theme separately and there isn't enough time in a day for that. If the theme builders want to do that, that's cool, and we will definitely applaud their efforts.

Hmmm...I'll check it out. But Dmavs got it to DL ...so I'll look into it asap. Try going to original thread in gnex and try to DL from there...maybe. I'm pretty sure links are good. But with all the moving around something mite have got fudged. But if someone has already DL and installed then its def a good link


EDIT: DEV HOST IS down so that def is the prob. They usually get it back pretty quick so hang in there and try again later today. Sorry about that dang DEV HOST>>>>lol
