Patch: Custom Lockscreen

Applications
1

I made a simple patch allowing you to customize your lockscreen by adjusting scale, alignment and offsets of clock, date and weather. Additionally you can change clock’s typeface.

Could be that the site is in read-only mode just as Openrepos is right now.

Could you add a Text panel for “In case of emergency” use? I magine it should be easy to do

4

oh yeah that makes sense! i’ll upload it as soon as i can then

sure! just a label on the bottom of the screen or did you have something else in mind?

5

Could you add an option for the seconds?

6

any text box would do, people can decide if they want to put, say, contact info, or medical data, whatever

7

v0.2 is available now! Download the archive here

Great! Thanks. How do I install the zip via terminal?

9

This should work assuming the zip is saved as “patch.zip” in Downloads

devel-su
cd /usr/share/patchmanager/patches
mkdir -p sfos-patch-custom-lockscreen
unzip -o /home/defaultuser/Downloads/patch.zip -d sfos-patch-custom-lockscreen
/usr/sbin/patchmanager -a sfos-patch-custom-lockscreen

You might also have to put a patch.json file into sfos-patch-custom-lockscreen with these contents:

{
    "id": 315,
    "description": "Customize the lock screen",
    "last_updated": "2026-10-24T09:20:44.000",
    "name": "sfos-patch-custom-lockscreen",
    "display_name": "Custom Lockscreen",
    "category": "homescreen",
    "author": "staple",
    "discussion": "",
    "donations": "",
    "sources": "",
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "compatible": [
        "5.2.0.20",
        "5.2.0.18",
    ]
}

I’m using an xperia 10 ii, still running 5.1.0.11, so I’ll have to wait

11

I can’t say for sure but it should also work on 5.1 since the lockscreen hasn’t changed all that much, if it doesn’t work you can just disable the patch before patchmanager activates it

12

Just upgraded to 5.2! Little problem, when I first followed instructions on 5.1 the patch appeared along with others but said it was not installable. Now it doesn’t appear at all. Also, /usr/sbin/patchmanager is not a directory.

13

That’s right, the patches are stored in /usr/share/patchmanager/patches, /usr/sbin/patchmanager just installs/activates them

14

I followed the steps, but the patch is not shown in Patchmanager, what is wrong?

15

can you run ls -R /usr/share/patchmanager/patches/ and show the output?
