I found out the hard way that this won't work for the CDMA hero (don't judge, I got my first Android phone last week) so I set out to port this to work on CDMA.
If you have some sort of custom these running, this may or may not break it, These are based on Modaco's 1.1

Transparent Lockscreen:
Please do nandroid backup before proceeding
Attached is com.htc.resources.apk that needs to be pushed to /system/framework
One way to do it is by copying com.htc.resources.apk to a directory called lockscreen on your sdcard, and using SDK tools
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp -r /sdcard/lockscreen/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
reboot
Download:
eViL Port:
com.htc.resources.apk
update.zip Thanks to Thann
Transparent:
com.htc.resources.apk
update.zip
Enjoy
nice work, what exactly had to be done to convert this to cdma?
nothing too hard, just had to move 4 images from the original lockscreen into a CDMA hero com.htc.resources.apk
this isnt working for me, I get access denied if i type it like you put. I put in the command su and it let me do the first line, but then i get cp not found???
ruskiyab, if you want I can package all these files as a signed update.zip you could just run from the recovery mode. The lock looks good, and it would remove the need for command line work.

For some reason I just can't upload to XDA today, it just keeps failing. The file is here so be sure and tell me if you have any problems.
Thats, I haven't really gotten around to reading about signing the update.zip files yet

Guinea pig approved, looks/functions great.
Did nandroid backup just to be sure, but everything works fine. Looks very good too!
I love the lockscreen. Would you mind if I include this in my Gutted Hero rom?
Ahhh you beat me to it. I was gonna do the same. I figured out how to port the themes and sign them.
Great work ruskiyab good to see other people joining in with customizing our Hero's!

Ofcourse! I stole your animations and Rosie, it's only fair
New transparent lockscreen added!
How would one edit, or create there own lockscreen?
Is the clear lockscreen the same as the one ratcom posted?
If not, can you provide a screenshot? thanks!
I'd like to know how to create my own aswell and sign the update too!
The screen shot is in the OP

the site that is hosting the pic must be blocked at work then, because I don't see any pics in the 1st post.
I'll look tonight before trying to flash it in
EDIT: bvm, I switched to our wireless test network (glad I'm in IT) and I was able to see the pics. It looks like the same one ratcom used/posted.
Now I just need to lookup how to make my own, lol
This looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Any chance we can get an update.zip file made to revert the lock screen back to the original one? I did make a nandroid backup, but I'd rather not have to use it just for the lock screen. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
Hated the original ugly stock camera so I very minor-ly changed it. Hope someone likes it or finds it useful.

Working on CM 5.0.3
Wont work on Desire roms!!!

Nice! I was waiting for something like this. The stock camera app is so ugly, i cant even begin to tell you.
Kepp up the good work!
Could I use this in my Metamorphs?

yeah sure mate
It is very very cool! I've installed it as a morph, to try and test it. Cool!
I've uploaded it as a meatmorph. If you want to change it in the easy way:

If you don't like, that I've posted it, please say it. Then I want to cancel it!
I hope you like it.
Looking good... any way to have blue instead of green highlights?
Hups.... where? On my Nexus it is green as the original from m00m00.
Sorry, I don't want to get this thread to me... I only wanna help.
Now I've tested it again and it's green. I can't see any blue at it.
Ok i did adb remount > adb push and now I dont have the camera app on my phone anywhere.
I tried pushing it again and no luck any suggestions?
C:\Android\tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\Android\tools>adb push Camera.apk /system/app
1103 KB/s (627216 bytes in 0.555s)
C:\Android\tools>
Seems to be pushed correctly but I dont have it anywhere.
Do you have an explorer on your nexus? Like "root explorer" "astro file manager" or "ES File Manager"?
Then copy it simply to this folder and you're done.
Or try it with metamorph. Should be the same.
Do whats easier for you.
Yeah tried that with linda. and also using droid explorer. The camera app shows on my system/app but not accesible anywhere and when i try to open it throug hgallery it crashes.
Thats not good...
Please reflash your rom.
You didn't have to do a wipe. Reflash it and try it with the metamorph version.
Running CM 5.03.1 and NexTheme 1.8 and A2SD and it pushed fine for me, rebooted and the icon on my home screen was gone, but that was to be expected, i opened up the app tray and made a new shortcut works like a charm! thanks!! the stock one looks like a 2 year old made it during "art" in pre-school....ugh....i dont understand why the google versions of these HTC devices have to have such crappy themes!! i LOVE the Desire theme, even without all the sense ui crap... just so much better over all.....
/rant
Awesome! good work man, looks 100 times better!

What ROM are you on? I have a feeling your ROM is odexed. If so, do the following:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Camera.odex .
adb pull /system/app/Camera.apk .
adb shell rm /system/app/Camera.odex
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/
The first step pulls Camera.odex to your current location (backup). Replace the "." with "C:\bla bla" if you want to. The second command backs up your apk (but I think yours is already gone ). The third command deletes the odex file, the last one pushes the apk in.
Much better looking...nice work!
pushed... works like a charm! Thanks for your great afford!
pushed it fine using debian, thanks for the nice work
for all, who wanna have this themed without changing the whole camera.apk, here's the metamorph theme new uploaded:
http://www.4shared.com/file/b-RV9Zm6/CameraThemed.html
//Works on every ROM with stock looking camera. Also 720p. Not on Desire Camera.
This is the Launcher2 pulled from CM-5.0.6-N1. I have themed it (KANGING OTHERS WORK OF COURSE).
You will also get the black facebook widget!
This has the standard 4 or 5 drawer.
UPDATE.ZIP
apk until I get update.zip fixed
adb push launcher2.apk /system/app
if on cyanogen 5.0.6-N1 you should be fine!
If you get force closes do adb -r /data/data/com.android.launcher2

4/8/2010 - Colorized/cyanogenized the search widget, also edited the folder icon, now black with cyan android logo.
4/8/2010 - Posted update.zip
People are having some issues with roms other than 5.0.6test1. So to remedy that do:
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk Launcher2.bak so you have a working backup in case and don't forget to clear launcher data before pushing or after if you are getting fc.
how about a morph or an update.zip style?
I will see what I can do when I get home tonight. I did this while at work so I just didn't have the time.
no worries,just thought id ask.not fond of other method unless there is no other alternative.
Can this be used on a CDMA Hero? If not is there any way you can port it over?
I am not 100% certain, can you run:
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk ~/Desktop (if you are on linux) or the same command with c:\ if you are on Windows and then get me Launcher2.apk that it spits out. I am not familiar with what apps are on that device. If the Launcher2 is the same (I think it probably is assuming it is using Launcher2) then it can be used.
Any update? Looking forward to trying

Sorry school started back yesterday and I am taking 20Hrs this quarter, so my time is very limited.
Until I get time you can do this:
Download, Rename, copy to SDcard.
Open andexplorer (I am sure you have it if you are using metamorph)
Navigate to the Launcher2.apk file
choose it
select package installer, and Voila!
Just as easy as an update.zip but no reboot!
Tried to download but it says invalid file link

I push the launcher and had no problems works great. I'm om cyn 5.0.6 test 1

I'm working on porting bits of it to my G1 as a side project/learning experiment. I'm using Cyanogen's latest release as a base and I got some various parts moved over, but I'm getting the error "E:Can't find update script" when flashing, even though I have the script at META-INF\com\google\android\update-script. It's unmodified from Cyan's base.
Is there something I need to add to the update-script to include the parts from the X10 system dump I added?

is your meta-inf folder intact? there should be other files in there besides the com folder.
Yup, heres the structure:
META-INF
-com
--google
---android
----update-script
-CERT.RSA
-CERT.SF
-MANIFEST.MF
i had some errors like this... try changing the name of your update.zip
I managed to port it over, but it was just a themed 1.6, couldn't get any of the X10 apps to work (do you have to do something differently with the .odex files?) It booted fine though.
I can send you my update-script if that will help at all?
Thanks for the reply, the original file name was x10-test-1-signed.zip, I changed it to test.signed.zip and it did the same thing. I also tried update.zip with the same result.
Hey Meltus, that would be helpful, then i can compare the 2 and see what im missing.
also: if you leave the odex files out, the system will create them automatically, that might help?
ah i'll try that, thanks.
Here's the update-script file i'm using. [attached, remove .txt] I nicked it from some ROM, can't remember which lol (sorry )
Also, does anyone know how to change the resolution? It is SERIOUSLY messed up lol.

I thought it was in the build prop? I didnt see it in there though. not in the one i have anyway.
actually, i bet if you changed this line in the build prop:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
it would probably help
I tried your update-script and I got the same err :/

Not sure why it's not finding the file. Try redoing the folder layout.
I tried rebuilding, no go. would you mind sending me what you have? maybe we can get that working?
Well, my update.zip doesn't do anything atm. (gonna deodex all the files first and see if that works) but it flashes. It only works if you fastboot all the .img's first and then flash the update.zip though.
I often found that you don't ZIP the main folder you keep your data, system and other folders in, but the ones inside it. You select all of them, ZIP and name it "update". Then sign. Try using this method.
What are you using the zip the archive? Try using 7-zip? Sounds like Android doesn't know how to unzip your zip file.

in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.
If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.
After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.
ex: system/framework/
- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.
- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen
- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)
how would i open and edit the files?

with your favorite graphic editor, their png files.
beyond that, you might want to make a request in the thread where you got the ROM.
what ROM and addons are you using anyway?

but, back to the long way. i found the right file, (using regaw mod, comes with the 3g icon) what do i change it to?
thank you for the zip I booted into recovery and flashed it but i still have the EV?
it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.
and mountain... I just used the default 3g icons in framework-res.apk and placed them into com.htc.resources.apk with the metamorph
thankx guys I got it working
no problem
I installed MetaMorph, but at the beginning it says start basic checks to see if your phone can run, and it just hangs there and says its not responding, asks to wait or FC, please help
I replaced the stock android emoticons with regular looking ones.

Figured I'd post this guide in case anyone else wanted to do the same,
Instructions:
1 nandoid backup
2 download the attached .rar file
3 adb devices
4 adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(make a backup copy of this file)
5 open the apk file with winrar
6 insert the .png files that are in the attached rar file into the framework-res.apk's \res\drawable-hdpi folder
7 adb remount
8 adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
9 adb reboot
For those looking for an easier way to do this you can make a flashable file here --> http://circle.glx.nl/
Oh wow! Can you do that with the Blacy emotes?
trying!
@martijua i just tried it and let see if it worked. rebooting now!!!!
It worked great!!
@GENEius what are blacy emotes?
Update i saw the" blacky emotes" and i would say yes you can if you had all the icons the right sizes
I decided to try other icons and i found out that....
- nandroid backup is a must just in case you mess anything up!
- If it is not the right size 24 x 24 px it will show a blank space instead of an icon.
-While doing this process you will see a FC error but that's ok just adb reboot
POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR FC ERRORS!
- If you do not adb pull before you abd push.
- Receiving a text while trying this out.
Not 100% sure because both of these things happend within the same try!
-I noticed that i actually put >PNG instead of .png and that may have been the problem.
NOW IT"S WORKING WILL UPDATE WITH A IMAGE!
SINCE I AM ACTUALLY DOING A LOT FOR THIS AND WILL TRY TO DO MORE I WILL CREATE MY OWN POST!

Google contacts? Make sure that your google account is still there...if it isnt re-add/sign back into google account.
Hm. I can use any pixel size. HTC Evo 4G seems to support most (I'm on 40x40 now). Using kawaii kitty faces from MSN :3
Anyway of doing this with APK Manager? Or NinjaMorph?

well....use root explorer, navigate to system/app and extract the framework, replace the emoticons, and copy-paste the mms app back where it came from
Reboot
you're done
thank you
These are awesome thank u!
Just wanted to add my testimony.
This works, but it will remove all your accounts from the Accounts section, thus removing you contacts, and resetting your wallpaper, and probably other personal settings.
However, setting them back was easy, and re-adding the account was also easy. Got all my contacts back and so on.
Thanks martijua!
http://circle.glx.nl/ is gone. Any alternatives?
ATM I don't have time to deal with missing stuff and restoring them back
P.S. Which way of those two mentioned exactly leads to losing some data? ADB or RootExplorer way?
New Emoticon Pack
Here is a pack of Emoji Emoticons if anyone wants to try out.
Do it at your own risk, i am not responsible for any damage.
O.K., that's cool - but is it possible to "replace with nothing" or simply turn them off?
What happens if i try to put empty files with png extension or blank png files or something - I believe that won't work...?
