Before we get started. I'd like to say I found these icons. I used certain things such as apkmanager framework flasher to get it working but with no success.. I take no credit for taking the icons, I did however do the instructions on how to change it by myself after experimenting.
Alright Lets get started on how to change your simple green lockscreen to a nice elegant ICS TYPE OF LOCKSCREEN (PatternLock that is)
YOU WILL NEED Ninjamorph from the market, also will need These ICS patternlock icons
Link to the icons are found here(Sorry if its not a direct download )ICS Icons
After you have those set up. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP I'm not responsible if you're willing enough to go and try this and brick your phone now that we have this settled. Let the screenshots and guide to help you change your theme. Begin
We first enter ninjamorph on a screen like this.
Then we click on new project and navigate to /system/framework/framework-res.apk which looks like this
Now that this is settled it should extract the certain files. As if it were loading. (EX: 100/1208)
It takes maybe about a minute or two. After thats dont you'll notice you are now in the folder called /mnt/sdcard/androidthemes/workspace/ which looks like this
Once that is done click on res and click drawable-mdpi. Scroll down to you see a certain icon named indicator_code_lock_point_area_green.png or point-area_red.png (Mine is already changed!!! thats why mine are purple and blueish!!!
Now before you start saying Ninjamorph can't find my icons. Is this a bad download? is something wrong with this? Make sure its extracted Ninjamorph won't find any zip files. So use a file manager like root explorer Make sure your icons are found. then proceed with vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
One you are 100% its extracted and you have the files. Go back to Ninjamorph and navigate to your extracted folder or where ever you have the icons extracted. Once it is done you will see your icons are here
(Note: It Must Be The Same Name (Mine says ics-pattern-84x .... Yours shall say ics-pattern w.e I named it lol )
If you are in a hurry to taste the ics lockscreen pattern you can always just go straight to the extracted folder with the icons Copy all the PNG images Go straight to the /mnt/sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk/drawable-mdpi/ and paste it right in there through a file explorer (I recommend this way if you want it easier and quickly done.
Once that is done click on finish project It will start saying system apk overwrite you click yes Asks for zipalign (Up to you, I usually click no and it works right away, when clicking yes it sometimes fails) Once that is done it'll ask to save your project or delete it. Delete it if you know your not going to get confused doing all these steps again lol
Once your done it shall reboot.. If it does not don't worry, reboot yourself through holding down the power button or going into terminal emulator and typing su then reboot. Or just reboot itself idk I can't recall lol
And this ends this little tutorial... Someone can maybe help see if this method works for a non cm7 rom? Thanks
If it doesnt work at first, keep trying. Did it with zipalign and it failed? Do it without zipalign now Its basically Trial and Error
