WidgetLocker Help?

[MonKENy]

I cant keep buying apps to do this stuff. Ive already spent more than I should on things.

I didnt root my phone so I could buy apps to do the stuff im doing. I Rooted so I could learn how to do it with out apps.

I Do appreciate the help but Im looking for help doing it with apk or adb. Thanks a ton for trying though!

I cant imagine that root explorer does anything that I cant do with adb or apk.

I dont want the "easy" way to do things I want to learn the hard way so I can have more control over everything. I cant believe that there arnt any hardcore ppl on here willing to teach me.

I dont really plan on getting more apps. Thats why i want to do things a different way. If i can learn to do this manually i wont need the apps.

First things first...I did thank you guys for trying to help by recommending apps. But as I am showing I said several times VERY clearly that it was NOT the answer I was looking for.

I was then given several reasons why I should be doing that...that isnt being helpful thats forcing an opinion on someone. i didnt tell you guys NOT to use apps just asked for a way for ME not to use them.

You guys wouldnt allow me MY opinion not the other way around. Thats where the ignorance came in...

I never insulted anyone. I didnt call anyone stupid just called a statement stupid. Im a very intelligent person yet I say stupid things. I dont get offended when someone calls me on it. I have enough self esteem to know that im not perfect and that time to time have flaws.

If you asked someone a question and told them the exact answer you DID NOT want to here and all they kept doing was repeating that very answer to you I believe you would be irritated as well.

Go look into every thread ive answered a question on and you will see I give them an answer that they are looking for, I dont repeat advice they have already turned down, and I certainly do NOT try to explain why they should be taking the advice they dont want or force an ideal on them.

So dont get mad at me that I got snippy about you guys answering like you did. No one here helped me, no one tried to help me, you gave me easy answers that I said I didnt want to begin with. Had you pointed me in the right direction or suggested something other than what was suggested I would have understood.

I agree supporting developers is good, but this want the thread for that. I didnt ask for a discussion on how people felt about supporting developers. I bought the apps I bought I supported the developers on the ones I need and now I would like to find a different route to accomplish what I want to do.

Again thank you for trying to help...I appreciate the idea however that is NOT the direction im trying to go.

And Gene I dont know why you are even bothering to post, all you are doing is stirring up ****. Everyone is getting all hurt I said something was stupid..but no one is taking into consideration how frustrating it is to have to repeat myself EVERY post that im not looking to use apps to do a job I KNOW is possible with adb and apk. So woe is you right?

Bottom line is you werent trying to help me, you were trying to push your points that developers should be supported. Help is working with the person to accomplish that persons goals they way that person sets out to do so with in reason.

btw none of this is directed at turdbogls, you came in before I said several time I didnt want to use any more apps.

not %1000 on this but to set permissions manually you will need to learn chmod commands.

google that cause im not real up on it myself.

you would want to pull the apk from data/app do all your fiddles with it then push it back , then you will need to do chmod 664 or w/e number that gives it proper permissions.

its a whole lot of learning basically but i would start by doing 'chmod android adb commands' and see what pops up.

there is more commands to see what permissions are set on the apk afterwards ( to basically check to see if it was done right ) but in all seriousness and i understand that you do not want to pay for more apks, root explorer comes in real handy because you can view all your apks and see what permissions are on them.

i like to pull stuff all the time and theme it, i usually erase the signature and resign it, but even with all the manual commands i still use root explorer to make sure it is sitting in their properly. there are some apks i consider a must have and that is on my list especially if your a guy who likes to tinker with your phone. its gives you a nice visual of the guts of your phone to make sure your not 'screwing the pooch' or w/e.

good luck to you

Just because you were looking for a specific answer doesn't mean other users might not see this thread and wish there had been app-based help. The title of the thread is "WidgetLocker Help?", not "How to Mod WidgetLocker with ADB?" I always run a search on threads if I have a question, instead of starting a thread for a question that has already been answered, and I'm sure many people do the same. Just keep that in mind

I used the RootExplorer method, simply because I already had the app. There's a good walk through for other ways (including ADB and APK Manager) to mod it over on XDA. I'm not sure if you've already seen it: [MOD][GUIDE] WidgetLocker Mods | Custom Lockscreens | Updated 21 Dec! - xda-developers.
