i saw these lockscreens and i really liked them and i'll be happy to know how to do them.i really want to know where to get the wallpapers,which widgets they used and which icons they used.thanks to anyone that can help me.



thanks :)
 
Most of the icons used are just things they made. you can make those for example using simpletext I'd think. Just use a custom font then rotate. Otherwise, others just make icons on photoshop and put them into the phone.
 
There are several apps you should check out:

Widget Locker
Circle Battery Widget
Beautiful Widgets
Missed It !
Minimalistic Text (this might be a great one to help you !!)
U.C.C.W (great app ! very tricky until you figure it out, then the sky is the limit)
these are just ones I use myself......

.....and there are tonnes more that allow for crazy customs. I am not too sure how to get the text to look like it's 3d fading into the screen, but most likely a certain font or an app that allows for it or as chanchan05 pointed out, they edited images or text with an external software program on PC/Mac/Linux, then hotspot them into their screen/widget. Or icons/sliders can be edited to be invisible.

I suggest looking into Minimalistic Text. Check the comments as well, you may see references to other apps that are similar. Check those out as well.

Sorry I couldn't give you a specific solution, but at least a path to check out. Good luck.
 
UCCW lets you change the direction/orientation of the text in a 360 degreee plain. I believe Minimalistic Text does as well.
I haven't even touched what this app (UCCW)can do......but here's a few samples:

My first lockscreen, Miss Jessica Alba:

Here's another one of my lockscreens. Very basic, simple default font, before I figured out the font's option. Scrambled letters. Combination of UCCW, Missed It and Widget Locker.

My current homescreen (below). All UCCW widgets. Text turned vertical in spots. Font changed to a Star Wars style. If I want to record, press the word record. Same with other text. To browse, I tap the Tie Fighters on the left. To open BT File Transfer, I tap on the Death Star. And to open the Phone app, I simply tap on the word DARK (invisible icon) or to open my hidden vault of secret photos, I tap on the word SIDE. All ships/Death Star are all added into UCCW. The wallpaper is actually just VADER and the DARK-SIDE knuckles. Everything is imposed onto it, and hotzoned to open specific apps, or perform certain functions.

Just a few examples. Currently working on an extremely trippy homescreen or lockscreen (not sure yet)...........I think it will be my coolest one so far. At least I hope so. :smokingsomb:

The possibilities are endless. Be warned, UCCW takes quite a while to figure out, but once you do, it's very cool.

Check out 'lockers' on the Play Store. Magic, GO, WidgetLocker......several others out there as well.
 
They were pics downloaded off the internet, then just added into the Image option in U.C.C.W. then resized/rotated and can change transparency and such.

The Death Star on the side and the ships are all seperate images pasted into that 2x1 widget square.

Its a very cool program. :smokingsomb:

To add though, it was simple with black background on wallpaper, and on pics. The ships just blended in perfect. Of course, external editing on a PC program may be necessary to achieve a 'pasted' over image that blends in depending on your image. But if you can edit an image to the way you want, you can pretty much add it into UCCW as long as dimensions aren't too big.
