Remove sense lockscreen? - Thunderbolt General

I have heard if you delete HtcLockScreen.apk the phone will resort to the standard lockscreen. Has anyone done this or hear of a different way to do this?

Yes but I would just rename the HTC lockscreen by putting ".bak" at the end of it

I would have to agree with Rusty on renaming it .bak instead of deleting in case you need or want to revert back. Also fyi it won't take effect until you reboot.

i figured it out. thanks

Will this allow a custom lockscreen to work without it defaulting back to the Sense screen?

<APP> Rosie.apk with custom home wallpaper

EDIT-------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
ok so right after i posted this i stopped and thought about something. im not sure if your icon placement and widgets and everything you have on the homescreens are in rosie.apk or elsewhere so DONT DOWNLOAD THIS until i get an answer because i will feel really bad if someone does DL this and loses everything on their homescreen.
EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------READ THIS
so please dont bash me for starting a thread with this but i really got annoyed when i added a homescreen wallpaper but the quality was horrible. so this rosie.apk has simply one new wallpaper and it is the first one. it is the google X from the nexus one bootscreen with blue green red and yellow for the X and the rest is a dark dark black.
Install-
download the rosie.apk
open a file manager with root access and copy this rosie.apk over the one in /system/app
really simple but i love the amazing quality. if people want i will replace all the home wallpapers with custom ones. throw me some ides to put in the spots.
hope you all like it
LOL dont the widgets have their own .apk? I believe they do...From what I see there are no widgets in Rosie.apk.
yes
but i mean rosie tells it where to go so unless by some goddly chance they have everything i have in the exact same place then there will be nothin but errors for the widgets.
anybody else have any info?

I was hoping the black wouldn't be so dark
it wont let me copy over to system/app. says system is read only.
why don't I just put the wallpaper on my sd card and set it that way. seems way easier than replacing my whole rosie.

You need to do a adb remount to push it over...And whats the sssh?? LOL I have all my wallpapers on my SD card and its fine for me....
any screenshots?
so still no idea what will happen if you install this over your rosie.apk so if you do MAKE A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL
and screenshot of the background is in the attachments. i love that its true colors and true black the hero screen is great.
anyone download and try yet?

dcV1 zip for lock screen

Could someone point me to or make a .zip file that will give me that crazykewl lockscreen....the one with unlock to the left and silent mode to the right. Purrrrdy please?
Running dcV1
Im not against sexual favors, as im broke.
No need,just delete htclockscreen.apk and .odex,reboot,good.can use adb or use root explorer,the files are in system/app.check the dc1 custom files thread and homescreen thread towards the last couple pages,few other people have requested this,but its simple to do
Just my 2 cents...
I didn't delete them I just abbed .bak to the ends in case I want to revert back.
Also, FYI, When you rm the lockscreen you lose the ability to turn your alarm off. Agimax posted an older android alarm clock in the DC ROM thread, I'm not sure what post but with the default #posts/page it's on page 243.

Not near a computer, nor will i be for a while. Im scared to screw with r.e. and im not sure of the name of the lockscreen to have searched for it in the dc custom files thread. An update.zip would be amazing :- )
Ill start sifting thru dc custom files tho :-(
Got root explorer. How do i push the files without messing up my alarm?
Btw, real tip, thanks for the r.e. suggestion. Ive been meaning to download terminal and remove some bloatware, but i just multiselected everything i didnt want and poof!
One more quick thing...which apk is desk clock? Is it intertwined within world clock?
sinister,
If I'm understanding you correctly I think you're missing something. It took me 30 minutes of searching before I realized the super cool lockscreen you're after is ALREADY IN THIS BUILD. Removing or renaming htclockscreen.apk and htclockscreen.dex gets the lockscreen you don't want out of the way so that the one you do want can do it's job . You don't have to push anything to the phone to get the cool lockscreen, just remove those two files. BUT that's when you need an alarm alternative because the lockscreen you want disables the ability to turn off the 2.1 alarm. The alarm Agimax posted is a perfect workaround for this.
Good luck!

Um, that's just the default Android lockscreen, isn't it? That description sounds exactly like what comes up when I fire up the sdk version of 2.1 in the emulator.
Is there anyway to add a wall paper picture after removing the htclockscreen.apk and odex files ... I have the default lockscreen, just that it is clear
Thanks in advance

Aw 2.1 I still haven't pulled the trigger, Fresh 1.1 FAIL
I removed the htclockscreen.apk and odex files, rebooted and still have the same lockscreen, what am I missing?
I have been searching but I do not see the htclockscreen.codex I'm running darch 4.1 I removed the .apk but the lock screen is not aligned right and doesn't show the slide options. Please help!
rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.dex
This worked like a charm for me.
If this doesn't do it for you guys then I'm sorry I can't help, this is where my expertise comes to a screeching halt.

Lockscreen Trouble....

FIrst off! Everyone is simply awesome!!!!! The threads get a bit overwhelming since i cannot watch all day long. I have tried to search and start to find things but this topic just kinda falls off without me finding a fix, if there is one.....
I removed the htclockscreen.apk and the attached image is what i get. is there a way to fix without a wipe and reflash as i have just about everything i want working. I know others have the same problem with this lockscreen which used to work fine in DCv1.0 .. I appreciate everyones hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Same thing I did...and I would assume you didn't make a NAND backup...just like me. Only solution you have is to reflash...sucks. Grab titanium backup from the market. It will put most of your stuff back. Only messes up a few widgets for me, and taking the off and putting them back on is easy.
Good luck!

I wonder if the lockscreen layout is setup for a higher resolution device (HVGA) instead of the Hero (QVGA). If that's so, then you could theoretically replace the XML layout files related to the lockscreen from a ROM where the lockscreen is displaying correctly into this ROM.
-Daryel
have you tried pushing HtcLockscreen.apk back to /system/app and rebooting ? or if you go to one of the modded DC roms regawmod (sp?) there are several customizations including the espresso rosie which if they did it correctly should include the espresso lockscreen so you can just flash it and get the stock lockscreen back. as far as how to get the vanilla android lockscreen going I can help with that.

I think I understand wht you are describing ....this lockscreen worked fine on DCv1.0 after removing the htclockscreen.apk and i was wondering if we could remove the correct file from there and port it over to this rom it would be fixed .......but i am just guessing, and would not know where to start
Just trying to not get this post buried....... I hope someone is willing to help see if there is a fix for this lockscreen.....I think I officially diagnosed myself with OCD....LOL
And do really appreciate any help.
Bret
I guess either too much going on....... or no fix........ I know this must be an issue for other people... has anyone got a suggestion or a "It cannot be fixed "
Thanks again for all the hard work and dedication!!!!!!!!!! Please help

I have yet to use the lockscreen that everyone wants simply because a. I had no idea it existed and b. I have no idea how to get it. if someone figures this out I am all over it lol. Wish i knew how to help.
the stock android lockscreen will not display right on new sprint 2.1 roms this has been stated in many forums already there is no fix
Guys, just use Android Commander. It does all the ADB commands in a GUI. Useful stuff, it is. If you know where to push/pull stuff and know to backup things before you delete them, you should really only need Nandroid to save you from being unable to boot (stuck on HTC screen, not bootloop).

I f you remove the htclockscreen.apk in this rom you will have this lockscreen with the same problem as it seems that it is setup for landscape or widescreen mode...... forgive me if i am wrong but i have a hard time think this cannot be fixed with all the awesome things that are being accomplished.. I will do whatever i can to help!
thanks a bunch!
I'm interested in this as well. I haven't messed with Android too much but I develop for a living. Does anyone know if the stock 2.1 lock screen is controlled at the source code level or via a configuration file such as an xml? If someone could point me in the right direction, I'll see if I could come up with a solution...
I am living with my deformed lock screen untill someone has a fix.. i hate that htc lock screen.

[request] htc slate skin lockscreen

I'm looking for the rectangular lockscreen associated with the HTC slate skin. anyone have that? the normal htc lockscreen is a curved arc... not that one.
You can change the skin and there's rectangular ones
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I should have been more specific. I'm on a sense less rom. I'm looking for an apk or whatever. I copied over the htc lock screen apk but it was the arc shaped one.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Here's a .zip with the 4 lockscreen images from Rosie when the slate theme is applied. Just to be clear, this is ONLY 4 of the lockscreen images and I'm not guaranteeing these are all of them, or that if you yank these and drop them in a different lockscreen that they'll work. Best of luck to you
I guess I need more hand holding. How do I apply those skins? Do I need to unpack the apk and drop them in?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Well, for one, you can't just carry over the lockscreen, you need Sense in order to use it. I provided the 4 main images from the theme, from there you might be able to open up the corresponding apk on whatever ROM you're using, and replace the lockscreen images in there with the ones provided above, but the names of the files might change, not really sure.
If you knew what apk the lockscreen images were in, and what the filenames were, you could probably get away with a morph for use with metamorph, but without knowing that stuff it wouldn't really do a lot of good.
A better question might be "Hey guys, I have **ROMNAME* rom and I'm looking to edit the lockscreen, can anyone point me in the right direction?"

good advice. I'm using cognition senseless rom. I pushed the htclockscreen.apk on from his sense rom zip into the system/app folder and that's about as far as I got. I opened up that apk and looked around but didn't see anything that made sense to me.

Disabling slide to unlock on KP V4 rom

Heya, I've recently installed Khalpower's V4 rom. Pretty awesome job =) However, I wasn't able to disable the "slide to unlock" screen. Since I'm using the pattern lock, there is no need for the slide to unlock screen anymore. The original moto rom would disable the "slide to unlock" screen when lock pattern is enabled. Is there an option to do so in KP's rom?
Many thanks! =)
Also, have realised that the camera button is not working. Have anyone experience that? Also, is there a known issues/bugs thread to keep track of any problems on the custom roms?
Thank you!
AFAIK the slider issue is there on all of the Froyo ROMS here (Dexters, Xavwanteds & Kahlpowers). I've never seen a fix for this issue.
If your talking about the gallery button (small button next to the shutter) this is also a known issue.
Ohh ic, thanks for your reply
Any idea where to get the old ringtones cos i really like the meadow grass ringtone =P and also the 15% battery sound notification is quite creepy :S anyway to change it?
Thanks
I should be able to dig up the default ringtones when I get home.
Look in /system/media/audio/ui, I would think you could replace LowBattery.ogg with the sound of your choosing (IDK if it has to be an ogg file or not?) that should work but I haven't tried yet.
Oic, do i access there using root explorer? Anyway if you have the default ringtone meadow grass would be great =D cos i backed it up only with recovery so didnt have the ogg files.
Thanks again

That reminds me... I've been meaning to ask someone for this ages ago. Do you or anyone else have all the ringtones from the 2.1 (there were a few I liked but I can't remember the names) and the wallpapers as well? (there was a really nice blue one with white swirls that looked great on the screen)
Would be appreciated.
teh ringtones
teh wallpapers
Many thanks
How can I put the wallpapers on so it shows up as an option to choose from like in 2.1? (I mean like if I would longpress on homescreen I could select from a little gallery of wallpapers in the normal wallpaper way)
Ahh cool Anyway, how to gain excess to the root files? Tried with all kinds of explorers but didnt work. Root explorer is paid app so didnt try that. Didnt work with su on terminal as well.

If you long press the home screen >> wallpapers >> media gallery you can browse pics on your sdcard. I believe you would have to decompile edit and recompile the home apk to get them in the default wallpaper gallery
