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.

[APPS] Must have Root only

So I am starting to get bored of my nexus one, only joy I get out of it is flashing CM Nighties. So... I looked at my phone and don't have much apps, so I would like to know what are your MUST HAVE root apps.
so far mine is
Adfree
Root Explorer

SuperUser. Bwhaha...
Here's my real list:
SetCPU
AdFree
Root Explorer
Titanium Backup
CacheMate
AutoKiller
Metamorph
Quick Boot
ShootMe
Trackball Alert Pro

I dig Root Explorer and Metamorph, both excellent programs. Ninjamorph is great also.
I think ive tried pretty much every file manager around, and Root Explorer, while missing some feature i wish it had (multi-file selection) is the best ive found hands down. Big ups to that dev.
Metamorph is great also because it just makes it incredibly easy to design and implement your own custom icons on your phone. Its a very satisfying feeling to be able to look at your $500 N1 and say, "I designed that, and that, and that..."
Yup, Stericson's the man.

Root explorer does have multi-file selection. Just press the menu button and then choose 'multi-select'

Great apps. Just downloaded Quick Boot, and it's amazing. Makes things much simpler.
Forgot to mention:
Nexus One Torch (I'm always using my phone to find my way in the dark.)

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

Yeah, able to crop perfect size with these ones - maybe other times I had bad size images. Thanks

Stock Internet Icon

Hey guys, does anybody know the location for the stock touchwiz icons. For example i am using the apex launcher and i would like to use dolphin browser as my default browser in the dock on the main screen. However i would like to keep the stock internet icon. I know you can change the icon for the shortcut i just have no idea where it is. Any ideas?

I don't believe there is any way to get at them strictly via the file explorer. However, if you download one of the the TouchWiz ROMs on here, you can extract the icons from there and just copy them over to your phone. I believe they're in the framework apk, which you can extract with 7zip or what have you, but I'm not in a position to check right now (not supposed to download random stuff like that on my work computer).

Well the stock Internet apk is located in two files: /system/app/SecBrowser_VZW.apk and system/app/Sec_BrowserVZW.apk.odex
I'm thinking the icon would be in that directory. To be safe, I'd actually download a stock rom and pull the app from there and mess with it. I wouldn't pull it from your current phone just in case you messed something up.

Here is a link to a tutorial I wrote on editing .9.png files. It's part 2 of 3 but the most directly aapplicable to what you are trying to do.
It links up with the other two parts at the top of the post, so if you need to catch up on using some of the tools from part 1, it's right there.

SOLVED
SlimSnoopOS - Exactly where you said they would be. Followed your instructions and downloaded a TW ROM from XDA. One question though. when i get into SecBrowser_VZW.apk i see that there is a couple different versions of the icon. Would it be best for me to always try and grab the highest resolution one that i can find.
Jarredw - Amazing. Thank you.
Blue6IX - If i understand this correctly, with this guide i can edit the icon from within the apk itself so i don't have to use a custom icon with APEX Launcher? If so that is awesome, im just wondering if it would affect updating of the app?

You'd have to re-add the icon and recompile the .apk file each time it updated.
I mostly threw it here so you could learn how to extract the icon, which someone else did for you while I was typing it up.
Anyways, now you can freely edit icons for any apps you have on the device, at the very least extract all the ones you want to keep around.

Ya, that's what i figured. Thank you.

It makes homescreen icons with a custom image or icons from other apps. Can't believe nobody here heard of this. Its how most people theme their homescreen.

Most launchers have that function built in. That's probably why nobody has heard of it.

Using Icons From Themes In Nova Launcher

Is it possible to use the icons from the stock Theme Store in a 3rd party launcher such as Nova?

Did you ever figure this out... I know we can change the icons but only built in one's show up

If your rooted, you could use a file explorer app like root explorer to go into data/app and find your themes appicon folder. Inside you will see a base.apk. You can copy that base.apk onto your phone and extract it, or pull it onto your pc and extract it. Inside you will see a res/drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi-v13 folder. The icons are in there. Save them in a folder on your phone and manually edit your icons in Nova on your homescreens and /or folders to replace icon.
I know it sounds like a bunch of work, but it really doesn't take that long. It's about the only way you can do it.

Here's what the folders for the themes look like in data/app.....

I've been trying to make a similar change. I'm using the Sense 7 Launcher and the only icon I have left is the "Apps" icon. I'd like to change it out with this icon.
I have looked in data/app/com.htc.launcher-1 and copy that base.apk to a different location on my phone. Opened the base.apk. Found res/drawable/all_apps_button_icon.xml
My question is what is the best way to convert my image to an .xml and replace the one in the base .apk so I can paste it back into the original location?
Ugg. I sure hope that made sense?

Yes, as long as all those steps are done in that order. It's okay, but yours are way better than I've seen in the HTC Themes store

Thanks. My AnaKonda theme got released in the Sense themes about 3 weeks ago. I think it's in the others section. But those themes are pretty simple and don't really get into deep theming.

Sweet. I hope it gets lots of hits. Can you see how many downloads it has?
