How to

Your phone should be connected to your computer with a USB cable and USB Debugging should be turned on. Good Lock should be open and opened up to the custom color picker screen with the tile you want to change set as the selected tile.

If you do not have a button at the bottom of the color picker screen that says "Custom", update Good Lock.

Footnotes

1. The ADB installer for Windows comes from this thread
2. The ADB binary for Mac can be downloaded using this guide or, for Homebrew users, with brew install android-platform-tools
3. Linux people should install ADB from their package manager. I trust that if you're running linux you know what you're doing and don't want me mucking up your OS
4. Mac and Linux should come with Python and you should not need to install it. To determine if you have python please open Terminal and type python -V. If you have Python this should return which python version you have. If you get anything else you don't have python.
5. This program uses a few hacks and tricks. Right now these hacks/tricks are working but may change in the future.
