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.

What files do you have exactly? framework-res.apk? Phonebook.apk? Phone.apk
This thread as given above is taken that you have ADB installed on your computer.

Not sure if ADB is required but thats the only method I know of. A step by step guide (Might want to double check with advanced users)
1) Install ADB and set the environment variables, etc.
2) Go to the folder (Should be c:/android-sdk-windows/tools) and open adb.exe (If it flashes and auto closes, open up cmd [Start>Run>cmd] and drag the adb.exe into the cmd and press enter)
3) Put Phone In Debugging Mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
In ADB, type these commands
*Note that the commands are case sensitive*
Pull the files you are about to replace with the following commands:
cd c:/anrdroid-sdk-windows/tools
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-resk.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
4) Now framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk should be in your tools folder where your adb.exe is. Put these files somewhere safe.
5) Now drag your new framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk into the tools folder.
6) Go back to adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
7) Now these commands will move your new theme files to the sdcard:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push Phonebook.apk /sdcard/Phonebook.apk
adb push Phone.apk /sdcard/Phone.apk
8) Now these commands will install the new theme files in the sd card from the previous step:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phonebook.apk of=/system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phone.apk of=/system/app/Phone.apk
9) Now your phone will restart (If not, manually restart) and your theme should be installed.

why every time i put the mount command it tells me "the device not found"
and the pull commands don't seems to work
i tried adb devices command but it seems it doesnt found my device

Mmm...maybe its sound dumb, but I'm a noob in this. How do you change the battery icon? Thx

You pull the framework-res.apk file and open it with 7-zip. Inside should be some folders and there should be a folder (forgot which one) with a bunch of pngs. Replace the battery icons with desired ones.

command to install apk

Is there a command that can be used in a terminal emulator on the hero to install an apk from the sdcard? If not can it be done using adb commands? I am trying one of the froyo roms and before I start installing anything through the market, I would like to install a file manager. I have AndExplorer in an apk on the sdcard but I can only access it through adb or a terminal emulator.

Just adb push it to systen/app or you could install appinstaller from the market.

Open terminal.apk and issue these commands hitting enter after each line.
su
cd /sdcard
cp "app.apk" /data/app
This should do the trick. I don't think it will work with a2sd but I could be wrong. I tested it out just a few minutes ago and it worked great.

Root Help

I'm having trouble with step 4 of the rooting guide. The command prompt says:
data/local/gingerbreakBB: not found
Where should I place the files from the zip? Inside the platform-tools folder? Or inside a different folder?
Thanks in advance for helping a noob.

You need to put all of those files in the platform-tools folder or wherever advanced is located

All the files were in the platform-tools folder originally. Just making sure because it isn't working.

Did you change directories in Cprompt/terminal?
PS advanced above = adb silly spellchecker

Do you mean like to: C:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
??
I'm going to reinstall everything one more time.

Ok I got step 4 to go through, but I didn't get a number. When I try to redo step 4 it gives me this error: "cannot copy boomsh.: Permission denied.
What should I be looking for after step 4?

You need to remove them and start over
run these two lines then start from step 1
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/sh
after step 4 if it successfully install you'll see a
[!] dance forever my only one
#
Also remember step 4 is actually a two lines process
run adb shell {Enter}
/data/local/gingerbreakBB {Enter}
Don't forget to open a DIFFERENT terminal window for steps 7-9

Thanks. I got that info earlier by using google . Now I'm stuck on step 9. I am in a new terminal window. The output I receive after entering "md5sum cwm_blob_retransfer" is "md5sum is not recognized as an internal or external command, etc.
I also tried md5sums as another member commented on. Still no go.
This is starting to get frustrating..Jailbreaking was simple compared to this.

Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Dur, Finally got it. Apparently, some of the files had write protection on them for some reason, which was causing all the problems. Thanks everyone for the help.

Change directory (CD) to your ADB folder, type in adb push *filename* /*directory*
Eg: Push Market app to /system/app folder,
adb push market.apk /system/appp

Come on illumiarias he not gonna understand that. Lol.
Type in cd\ then push enter
Type in cd (folder where your adb tools are in) ex: androidSDK\tools\ then enter
Then type in your adb command. Make sure your file your trying to push is in the same folder as your tools.makes things easier.
