I use the mult-livewallpaper, and it lets you change the lockscreen image also. Problem is, thier is an overlay or something that makes it too dark.

Does anybody know what I need to remove/modify, to get rid of it?

thanks

If you're running Cyanogen you can manually set the lockscreen wallpaper in Settings->Cyanogen Settings

I don't run cm7, I like the stock lockscreen because it works everytime with the fingerprint scanner. Widget locker etc... doesn't work that well with it.

thanks though!

you will have to edit the lockscreen image in the framework-res file, which takes some knowledge if you want to do it.

do you know what folder it is in? Im looking, but no dice. I found an image in the folder drawable-land that is a gradient. thier is a bunch of other lock images with it. I wonder if that's the one.

thanks

Its not an image, its a transparency value in keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml in res/layout in framework-res.apk.

change:

Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.LinearLayoutWithDefaultTouchRecepient android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR=Red]70000000[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
to

Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.LinearLayoutWithDefaultTouchRecepient android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR=Red]00000000[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
May have to do the same for keyguard_unlock_landscape.xml if you have landscape unlock screens

If it's not that xml, which it may not be, look in the other keyguard xmls for transparency values that aren't ff or 00.

My bad, I think it is zz_moto_gradient_bg.png in drawables-hdpi. :)

Found this to lead me there:

Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.LinearLayoutWithDefaultTouchRecepient android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/zz_moto_gradient_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

Sorry, I don't know what A4G is. But in my signature you can see mi config.
Yes you do know what it is. This thread belongs to a specific device. Read the name of the device and abbreviate it. This thread is not in your device's section.
