Nexus One Lockscreen & Fresh Rom 2.0d doesn't work?

I installed the Nexus One lockscreen, but it's not coming out right? Instead of the icons (Lock & Sound) being on the sides, they're are on the top and bottom?
I got the .zip file from here:

I'm new at this stuff. So it won't work?

Launcher2 does. Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage > HTC Sense >scroll down a little bit and click Clear Defaults. When you press Home, it will ask you wich "Home" you want to go to. Choose Launcher2.

It shows..its ok. Unload some of that over Easter weekend.
BTW As far as Lockscreen is concerned. I just removed HTCLockScreen.apk and rebooted. and had what I think is the Nexus Lockscreen. Only thing I am not able to achieve is the Dialer which is in Nexus ROM.

I never used a update.zip file I used ADB and these commands
adb remount
adb shell
su (<you dont need to do this if you have Root access already)
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
reboot

Um, how do you do that? My bad I'm a noob at this lol. Have to use the command prompt right?
Edit: Says no such file or directory?
Maybe I'll reinstall the rom.

AFAIK adb remount is the same thing as your whole mount command there. that step isnt needed

When you type "rm /system/blah blah blah" you have to make sure everything is capitalized like it is on your rom, check the files in a file manager to see how its spelt and capitalized.

I just copy and pasted what I did that worked for me, this won't work for any of the newer 2.1 roms for some reason even tho it worked just fine for Damageless2.1 and a couple of others but the new ones based off of Sprint leaks are screwing up the lock image and so far noone has a fix

i installed lockbot and im always skeptical of 3rd party lockscreens but this one amost gets the job done..just no music audio control with screen off and some lag

Quote from Fresh 2.0d release notes
The stock vanilla lock screen is still broken. This is straight from HTC and is how it is
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That update.zip that you linked to has 0 files in it. All it does is:
Code:
delete SYSTEM:app/HtcLockScreen.apk
delete SYSTEM:app/HtcLockScreen.odex
Once you do that the vanilla lock screen takes over. The vanilla lockscreen on all of our Sprint leaks has been broken. It is part of the frameworks and is not a separate apk.

Remove Autokiller?

Is there a way I can remove Autokiller from fresh's 2.1 ROM?

adb shell
cd \system\app
rm AutoKiller*
maybe?

np glad it worked

you can remove it though adb using the command
adb remount
rm com.rs.autokiller.apk

Just a quick tip: Anything that CAN be removed from controls in the phone are located in /data/app. Everything that CAN'T be removed from controls in the phone (eg. requiring ADB) are located in /system/app.

You can also use an app called root explorer to delete stuff you dont want.

Clear Genie Widget for evo

is one around i had it on my hero not sure if it would work
i searched but i failed

Nobody ..... ?

I would like that!
Sent from my Evo via XDA's Tapatalk app

I still have my clear W. widget from my hero, and it does install but it shows the regular one. There must be a tweak in the EVO OS to allow the transparency.

adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
exit
adb push /path/to/GenieWidgetClear.apk /system/app/

Then go to /system/app using root explorer or something and click on the apk to install it...at least what's how I do it. Then I remove it from /system/app...

That worked, thanks
For those following this, you need to rename the download apk from GenieWidgetClear to GenieWidget. If you dont do that before pushing it, it wont work.

You're welcome...I didn't have to rename it though, but as long as it works, that's all that matters.

On a side note, how does someone with such a signature...NOT use ANY punctuation?...

Does anyone have one with 25% transparency? 100% is fouling my mojo.

What does this do? Screenshots?
EDIT: Never mind. Thanks for this!
NOTE: I don't have an original geniewidget.apk in /system/app

Thanks will give it a shot once i get home.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but does anyone have one that is compatible with froyo? This one always crashes.

I also tried from Root Explorer and Titanium and this is the funniest part!! I deleted the apk files, the icons were still on the drawer and I couldn't open those apps but... when I rebooted, those apps there were again!!
Any ideas? It seems that the the ROM reinstall the missing apps on every reboot.

[Q] Blur Camera won't install

Alright so here's my problem: After rooting my phone, I started to play around with a couple of camera apps from different ROMs such as MIUI. Me being an idiot though, deleted the stock Blur camera Apk. Using a system dump of the Atrix, 2 I tried to reinstall it, by placing it in system/app. For some reason. It wouldn't install (show up on my app directory). Anybody have any idea as to why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really need a camera app.that's supports 1080p video. Thanks in advance!!!

Push the sick app via adb. I read somewhere that with apps such as root explorer it doesn't work for some reason. Hope this helps.

Yes, always use adb to push system apps. Root Explorer will not work.

For some reason i get permission denied whenever i try to push through adb. How do i get around this?

To copy anything to /system/app, you need root access.
This will be a 2 step process.
1) push the file from your computer to your phone in a directory that the shell has access to, i.e. /data/local for instance.
2) adb shell into the phone and su, remount /system as rw, then cp the file from /data/local/ to /system/bin
That should elimiate the issue with permission denied, with adb push.

Yes my phone is rooted. How do I remount /system as rw? Then how do i cp the file? Thanks for your help!

I figured out how to push the file with adb, but the app still does not show up. Any other ideas?

Ok, run EVERYTHING between Code:, and End code from the command line. Just make sure you are in the directory you saved your backup camera.apk to, from your windows command prompt, before you run the commands below.
Code:
adb push BlurCamera.apk /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
cp BlurCamera.apk /system/app
chown root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chgrp root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
End code
That should hopefully fix it.

Sadly this didn't work either. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Btw, thanks for your help so far!

Quick question....is the blurcamera.odex file still in the system/app. If you have deleted it also you will have to replace it as well.

I could only find a deodexed system dump

Here ya go, zip has both camera.apk and odex. Try using file explorer again and make sure it is r/w . Hope it helps

Thanks for the files! But once again sadly the file doesn't appear under my app drawer. I tried using adb and root explorer, with no luck. Is there anything I'm missing? Btw, JRW are those files from the atrix 2?

There both straight off of my phone...that's weird cause I have removed both of them trying out various cameras and never had a problem reinstalling them?
Are you rebooting afterwards?

Yeah I am. Can you walk me through what you do when you re install the apps? I am really confused. Is there anything that might be interfering?

Go into file explorer and make sure your system folder is r/w along with both the blurcamera.apk and blurcamera.odex.... then drop both of them into system/app and reboot. Wouldn't think anything else would be interfering?

How do I make sure that BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex are both r/w?

Im not sure if it really matters on them but long pressing on either of them in file explorer should bring up the permissions and you can change from there. Do the same on your system folder just to double check that the permissions are correct

Try pushing them with ADB .....usually that will take care of it
