Rotary Lockscreen?

[bcgaynor82]

Hi everyone -- Has anyone found a working rotary lockscreen with the correct transparency settings? I found the "android.policy.jar" file attached and it works, it creates the rotary lockscreen, but it's fully transparent.

I'd like to get it to where it's transparent enough to see my current wallpaper, but not all the widgets and whatnot. It just looks sloppy as it is right now (screenshot attached showing what i mean).

Any help from the better themers among us?

Thanks!!!

does this work with CM6?

Sorry -- I should have done everyone the courtesy of saying what I'm running.

I'm running a Stock Sense 2.1 ROM, de-odexed, with much of the Sense elements removed. Basically a ROM of my own design.

So unfortunately I'm not sure if what I posted will work on CM6 -- but give it a shot!

ADB push it to /system/framework as "android.policy.jar" and attempt to boot.

REMEMBER to backup before any modification! I'm not responsible bla bla bla

I would like to get this lockscreen up and running on 2.2.

I have did some research and seen that it has been done on this 2.2 ROM here.

I have tried pulling the android.policy.jar from that ROM to no success. Can anybody help get this up and going on the Incredible running 2.2??

Here is a picture of it running on 2.2 also.

I got it working on 2.1. I have tried to get it working on 2.2 ever since SkyRaider 1.0 and had no luck. Send me the android.policy.jar from UD and I will take another crack at it. I have never found a froyo Rom where it was working.

Here is the android.policy.jar from the Froyo ROM.

(just remove the .zip)

Touchpro you are the man, you never cease to amaze me my friend!, how the heck did you get the rotary lock screen working!? is there anyway you could get that working on the stock 2.1 ROM I couldn't seem to get it to work.

If this is working on Froyo.. can you post a link?

Any link to the working 2.2 version?

I too am wondering if the 2.2 version will be released. I would love this!

Shouldn't be too hard to use it with other roms as well.

+1 - I'd like to see this on 2.2.

What I want to know is, what is the music player you're using in that screenshot? The only one I've found that shows on the lockscreen is Mixzing...which costs money. I do however think the rotary lockscreen is awesome.

The rotary lock screen is from Android 2.0. In 2.1, it was switched to the slide to unlock screen which is what is also in Froyo. In order to put the rotary lock screen back, it requires modifying the framework which requires root access.

If I just didn't have to give up my htc alarms/clock.....

You don't have give up the clock; just the alarms. There's nothing special about them anyhow. The vanilla desk clock gives you the same functionality.

I know, I know. And I'm sure I could port the sounds over. I ran your SR Vanilla ROM for a couple weeks and switched to your Sense version after deciding I just like it better - and one of the reasons (as silly as it sounds) was the clock/alarm look and sound.
