I have spent 1 and a half days creating, coding and running batch files in command prompt to ensure this will work for anyone AND ENSURE IT IS NOOBPROOF FOR EVERYONE.
UPDATE: V2 below, see below for details on changes.
The Lockring kit below is Unique to me and there isnt anything like it out there.
Here is my detailed guide to Modding your own lockscreen. LockRing kit i created is attached below and is COMPATIBLE WITH ANY SENSE 3 ROM OR Sense 3 THEME
. Also Works for any Sense 3 Device, Sensation & Evo3D
THERE IS VERY LITTLE WORK and NO CODING INVOLVED FOR YOU. ALL YOU DO IS
You put your ROM zip in the place ROM Folder - No need to rename
Place your lockring in lockring folder - No need to rename, just make sure its a PNG file not JPG
then collect the finished file in collect recovery zip folder.
See the video guide in post 2 for how to extract lockring and how to use a new lockring
Batch files in the kit will do all the work for you.
Requirements
-Java (Java Runtime Environment) - You need this otherwise your lockring APK will not be signed and prevent installation in recovery.
-271 x 270 Lockring in PNG File Format - Easiest way to get a lockring is to google a PNG image of what you want as. e.g search for Assassins Creed PNG. Quite alot of PNGs come with a transparent background which is what u need.
1st TIME SET UP
Create a New Folder in C:\ called "Lock_Ring_Kit"
Open the lock ring kit zip file and copy all the files and folders into the folder you just created.
Guide to extract a lockring
To extract a theme and/or lockring from another ROM
IF you have seen A lockring on EVO 3d FORUM
IF you have a really cool ROM or theme and you want to take the lockscreen ring out of it.
STEP 1. Place Your ROM or THEME you want to take lockscreen from Place_ROM_ZIP_HERE
STEP 2. Click 1. Extract APKs_FROM_ROM.bat. This will automatically run 2._decode_from_APK
Step 3. Click 3. Extract lockrings (OPTIONAL).bat.
This will put lockrings from the Rom or theme into the extract_lockscreen folder. you can now use this lockring.
And the rest of the files will be placed in Mod_files_here Folder (more about this below)
Guide to mod your own LockRing
STEP 1. Delete any existing files in Place_ROM_ZIP_HERE and Place Your ROM or THEME in the folder. This will be used as a base.
STEP 2. Click 1. Extract APKs_FROM_ROM.bat. .
Once the APKs have been extracted This will automatically run 2._decode_from_APK
*If you have the apks you want to use as a base then just place them in the Place_APKs_FILE_here Folder and click Decode from APK *
STEP 3. Get your Lockring you want and put it in the Place_Lockring_here folder. Make sure your lockscreen image is flipped vertically(mirror upside down image). e.g
Sense uses upside down lockrings to display them right side up. use the 3.0.1 Flip Lockring with FSResizer.exe to flip it upside down if it isnt already.
STEP 4. Click 3.1 Replace Lockrings.bat. This is to replace the existing lockrings with your lockring
Step 5. Click 4. Encode and create recovery zip.bat.
This will Re-encode your lock ring into the APKs, sign them then produce a signed zip file you can flash in recovery
Step 6. Flash your File in clockwork and enjoy.
Additional Features
Mod_Files_Here Folder you can go into this folder and into the default folder or other skins In this folder you can replace the navigation bar in Sense homescreen, also background for widgets and clock numbers etc. care should be taken u replace pngs with the another of the same dimensions.
Backup and Restore allows u to back up 4 different lock rings + Fusion files and restore them anytime so u can work on different ones at different times,
FS resize will allow u to resize your lock ring to 271x270 and also flip it upside down if it isnt upside down. Make sure you flip not rotate!
Download Lock_Ring_Kit v2 or click the attachment below
Replace Lockrings.bat Bug Fixed
BUG FIXED in v2 -->WHEN DRAGGING AN APP TO THE LOCK RING IT WOULD SHOW THE PREVIOUS RING!
Added option to rename lockring zip to whatever you want before it is put in collect here folder
If you get system could not find file error on some occasions, its normal, as i have either asked for it to delete something but the files already deleted
just make sure u follow the process.
