I wanna remove the clear lockscreen and put the original one??

I am on fresh 1.1 but i dont like the clear lockscreen. Is there a way i can change it??

yes try looking

just push this to system/app
you can use the fresh kitchen or adb
btw you can take apps out of any rom.zip on your computer, that's where i got this

Thank You thedudejdog it worked perferct

You can take the HtcLockscreen.apk out of the /system/app dir of any ROM you like to get that rom's lockscreen going.

am a newly rooted hero owner. read/re-read/followed the steps to do it on this forum and am grateful to those who lent their knowledge/expertise.
want to have the original hero lockscreen and downloaded this HtcLockScreen.apk file.
i searched online to see if i could find instructions to push this but can't seem to figure it out.
i've done the following:
- copied HtcLockScreen.apk to the root of my sd card.
- opened a command prompt
- got to "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>"
from here am i supposed to type:
- "adb shell"
- "su"
'cause i think to push this is the command, right:
- "push /sdcard/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/"?
help please!
thank you.

ok, put the file that you want to push in your tools directory of the sdk (c:\sdk\tools) these are the commands to push the file using adb
make sure you are in the command prompt and in your android sdk/tools directory.
you can copy/paste these one line at a time
i always do a
Code:
adb devices
first just to make sure adb sees your phone. if your phone shows up then continue
then mount system read/write
Code:
adb remount
then push the new lockscreen (this will overwrite the one that is there now)
Code:
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
then close the cmd prompt window
Code:
exit
or you can use the fresh kitchen for a nice gui that does all the dirty work for you.
then reboot and there ya go, new lockscreen (or whatever)
i've never used the shell to push files, but i assume those commands that you listed should work for that, but you have to remount the filesystem first.

I thought I saw on here a little while back that showed you how to remove just the image from the lockscreen so all you have is the grey bar. Does anyone know where that is because I thought that that was kinda cool.

Javabox on Dinc

I found a Javabox.apk and installed it along with a .so file. The app is installed, but FCs when I try to boot it up. I think that this apk was meant for the Hero.
Anyone know how to get this to work? Danke
Here for the .apk and .so files http://database.leakdroid.net/images-post/leakdroid/apps/java.zip
and here are the commands I used
Code:
adb remount
adb push Jbed.apk /system/app
adb push libjbedvm.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot

[Q] doubt about boot animation

Hi, im using cm7 , and just flashed trinity 1.1uv
the boot animation changed for the trinity one.
but the one that comes with cm7 is way better!
how can i change it?
do i need to delete the bootanimation.zip from the kernel before flashing it?
thx for the attention

Sorry for thanks ^^
1. extract your downloaded cm build and go to system/media copy bootanimation.zip
2. copy to your sdcard
3. push to system/media on phone & delete /system/media/audio/poweron
4. reboot
5. enjoy

Actually, you can extract the bootanimation.zip from the rom, and then directly use adb, skipping the sdcard altogether:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
The above works provided your copy of adb is included in your PATH system variable and that you're running it from the directory you've extracted bootanimation.zip. Otherwise, type bootanimation.zip's full path in the push command, and type the command in the directory where adb is installed.
Voilà!
Now, some extra tips:
You can rename files as you push them with adb, which means you could have multiple boot animations in a directory on your computer, and push whichever one you want on a whim, ie:
adb push bootanimation_somethingelse.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
There are many articles out there on making your own animation, I'll just add that 7zip works pretty well to make the archive (use the "store" method), optipng might repair images that don't seem to work otherwise, also make sure you have a text editor that can handle Unix-style line returns for the desc.txt file.
I personally use the stock Nexus boot animation, but with one addition: I put contact information in case the phone is found.

My Version is more noob like so see what he will choose D

Hey guys,
i've found another 'very' good kernel which, i think, does not change your boot animation. It has bln-support and voodoo, it works for both 9020 and 9023 users. Just check it out:

thank you guys!

Stock ICS Boot Animation!!

Here's the Stock Ice Cream Sandwich Boot Animation for our G2x.
The resolution is a little messed up IMO but it's smooth and works well.
HOW TO GET IT WORKING:
Method 1) via Root Explorer
Step 1) Buy Root Explorer or any other file manager that allows you to mount you /system partition as R/W
Step 2) Download the attached "bootanimation.zip" to your phones sdcard. You will find it in your "Download" folder.
Step 3) Go to /system/media via root explorer and copy your current "bootanimation.zip" to the root of your SD card (this steps for a backup incase you want to revert"
Step 4) Copy the newly downloaded bootanimation.zip from your downloads folder to /system/media (don't forget to remount /system as R/W) Say "yes" to the over write prompt that root explorer shows you.
Step 5) This steps for making sure your permissions are correct. Long press the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media (the one you copied over in the previous step) and select the "permissions" option.
They should be
Owner: Read and Write shoould be checked
The others must only have "read" checked
Reboot and you should be done!!
Method 2) via ADB
Step 1) (not going into the installation of ADB) Open a terminal window and "cd" your way to your SDK directory.
Step 2) Type in "adb root or on a mac ./adb root" this should restart the ADB daemon as root.
Step 3) type in ./adb remount (this remounts /sytem as R/W"
Step 4) This is the step where you push your new bootanimation.zip to /system/media
Make sure you know which directory on your computer the new bootanimation.zip is in
run this command ./adb push /THE PATH TO THE DIRECTORY/bootanimation.zip /system/media
Step 5) Now that the file has been pushed to the correct directory, the permissions need to be changed again.
run ./adb shell
then type su
then cd /system/media
then, this is the command to change the perms chmod 755 bootanimation.zip (the permissions required are 644 but to be safe change it to 755)
Thats it!! YOur DONE!! now just reboot and you will see your shiny new Animation!!

Put the boot animation in /data/local/ so it doesn't get re-written when you flash a new rom, nightly, release, whatever.
No need for permissions editing if you use adb to push the animation, it is only required b/c the sd card file partition is unable to keep the permission information. When using adb, it all works automagically.
There are plenty of free file manager apps that can use root functionality. Also, it is the stock ICS animation that has been out for a while now, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceBI5RJjScQ

thanks it looksvokay

Don't forget about the easy method from your phone terminal
Cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
But you have to do it every time you flash a new rom

i edited the desc.txt to match my screen's resolution and place it under my roms bootanimation directory because default media didnt work but worked out in the end for my htc amaze 4g. thanks!

Adb push not working.

I have made a few changes in the SystemUI.apk file and framework-res.apk using apk multi tool. After compiling it and trying to push the apk it shows an error saying Remount fail :Operation not permitted. The log says system cannot find the file specified. I tried making a flashable file but it just would not work. I really want to start off theming, please guide me as I have searched for one full day now, but nothing worked.

I'm not an expert on adb, but is your phone's usb debugging on? Do you have su, and have you mounted rw? Also, is the file in the same folder as your adb folder?

Just enabled root access to adb but still no luck. I am also facing this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765379

Procedure
Make sure that SystemUI and framework-res are in the same folder as ADB and in the \tools folder. For example mine is:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools
So I would place SystemUI and framework-res in that directory.
After starting CMD in windows (assuming you are on windows) type these commands in this order:
adb remount
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
chown 0.0 SystemUI.apk
chmod 0644 SystemUI.apk
cd /system/framework
chown 0.0 framework-res.apk
chmod 0644 framework-res.apk
reboot
Explanation: first line remount system as read-write. 2 & 3 pushes the files. 4-7 sets proper permissions for the files. 8 reboots your phone.
P.S. If you EVER decompile framework-res.apk, open it in 7-zip and copy AndroidManifest.xml from the OLD PRE-MODDED framework-res.apk (using 7-zip) into your NEW framework-res.apk to prevent BootLoops. Apktools isn't really configured that well for our phone so it doesn't copy AndroidManifest.xml and you have to do it manually.
