SlideScreen LS UPDATED



I don't typically post LS Themes to this forum but seeing what this can do for all future lockscreens I want to get it into as many people's hands as possible. It is the Miui lockscreen with previews.

To use:

  1. download the zip file to your computer and extract it (do not download straight to your phone and try to apply it).
  2. Open the manifest file located in the lockscreen>advanced folder. Search for gmail.com and replace YOURNAME@gmail.com with your gmail account (2 instances).
  3. Open the .mtz file in the base folder with 7zip.
  4. Move the lockscreen folder into the mtz.
  5. Move the mtz to you sd card and apply.
  6. The theme manager will ask if you want to convert, click yes.
If the names for SMS are not working, you must delete your sms threads (long press each thread then delete) then go to your contacts app and press Menu > Settings > Rebuild index data and OK. Then you just have to wait for a message.

Things left to fix:
  • When an unknown caller or sms return with null. Hopefully, I can fix this when the DINC gets its update.
  • GMail notification number is the number of items in your inbox not unread messages. Me and Andy Thomson (the guy that brings you extended settings) are working hard to fix this.http://gadgetdesire.blogspot.com/201...screen-ls.html
Notes:
  • Despite the preview above the GMail has been fixed so that the real name/address is shown without the extra characters.
  • Calendar events do not show allday events. To change this go to the manafest file and delete allDay=0 AND from the content provider binder.
  • The calendar also does not show reoccurring events for which the first event has already occurred. This is because of the coding in google calendar.
  • The start time for the event is the start time for the first instance and is set to repeat. Therefore the start time would always be in the past. There is no known way around this at this time. I believe the only way it can be fixed is if the data was based on the API and not the content provider.
  • Miui notes. I hope to replace this with a RSS feed however, to my knowledge none of them use a content provider.
  • Music autoshows when a song is played. Only shows music information for Miui Music (this is not my doing and it is not possible to show others).
  • To make the lockscreen show degrees in Celsius. Open the genie widget and change the weather settings to using metric. If you need the C after the degree character open the manifest file and search for format="%d°F" and replace with format="%d°C". There are 3 instances of this.
  • Finally, if you want a 24-hour clock, open the manifest file and replace hh:mm with HH:mm. There are 3 instances of this.
Thanks
