Android lock screen

For anyone that is curious or doesn't know. If you don't like the sense lock screen and have root. You can go into build>system>app as R/W and rename htclockscreen.apk to htclockscreen1.apk, and you will have the android lockscreen instead of the sense. Of course it takes a full reboot.

Thanks im gonna try it

That's awesome. I was wondering about the Android lockscreen. I have rejected several calls with the HTC lockscreen just by pulling it out of my pocket. It can simulate an upswipe on the screen. Renamed it to .bak and it works great.
Thanks!

For some reason it keeps saying sorry, operation failed

Try super manager.

What is the advantage of changing...
What is the Android lock difference in operation and visual appearance?
I have not had any bad experiance with the HTC lock screen.
Thanks - Glenn

Neat little trick. Thanks for the tip.

be aware that if you use this lockscreen you won't be abe to turn off your alarm if you set one. It's a known bug with sense and messing with the lockscreen. To solve it just download a 3rd party alarm clock and use it instead.

Also realized today that when the phone rings, the answer/decline options are the same, so taking it out of my pocket can still accidentally decline. Reverted.

i successfully changed the name of the lockscreen.apk but it didn't change it into the stock android lock screen. i did a restart and it's still the HTC lock screen.
How do i do a full reboot? or did i do something wrong?

make sure it was the htclockscreen.apk if you are using a deodexed rom you may need need to change it's name as well. Go into setting>apps>fast boot and make sure it is unchecked to do a full reboot.

I'm not running a deodexed rom. I'm running AndroidRevolution4G rom. I don't think that's a deodexed rom. Also, I did unchecked fast boot and it didn't help.
Weird.

Try replacing the .apk with a 1 and try again.

Yeah I always rename .apk files .apk.bak and that works. And it works for lock screen to .

New to Android in the dev category. I've been to the right place to edit HTClockscreen.apk but it says that it can't be done because it is a read-only. How do I fix this?

do you have root? If you do download es file explorer, go to settings>root access, select the one that is not cm7, then mount system.

Netflix for Android Workaround for mytouch

I found this on the http://techland.time.com/
So i dont take credit for this so i posted the whole page please in joy.
Unless you own one of the five phones that support Netflix's new Android app, Thursday's announcement was worthless.
But thanks to some clever folks on Reddit, Netflix's petty device restrictions needn't apply. With a rooted Android smartphone, you can trick Netflix into thinking your device is approved for streaming video. It's not a perfect fix -- some users can't get it to work -- but it'll do until Netflix officially brings its app to more Android phones.
The first thing you'll want to do is root your phone. You can look up instructions for specific devices at xda-developers, but keep in mind that rooting is not supported by warranty and could turn the phone into a paperweight.
Still with us? Now, follow the instructions, as posted on Reddit:
1) Download ES File Explorer (Or any other root file editor)
2) In ES File Explorer, go into Setting > Root Settings and enable both check boxes
3) Navigate to /system/ and copy/paste build.prop to /sdcard/ (just in case)
4) Open & edit /system/build.prop
5) Change the following lines to make your phone think it is an HTC G2:
--ro.product.model=HTC Vision
--ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
OR
--ro.product.model=Nexus S
--ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
6) Reboot the phone
7) Install the netflix apk (if you haven't already)
Enjoy
I haven't tried this myself, as my only Android device is a Droid Incredible, which doesn't require extra hoop-jumping. Obviously, you work around Netflix's obstacles at your own risk, but the ability to tinker is one of the reasons you got an Android phone in the first place, right?

Interesting, I've tried searching for the netflix app but couldn't find it on glacier. The author seemed to think you could download it first then do the process. Have you used this method and tried to find the app after changing the build.prop?

The download link for the app is in blue in step 7 of the link.

There are a couple threads already in our themes and apps section...but I'm on Virtuous Fusion and I've tried the HTC Vision build.prop method a few times and it hasn't worked for me...

I edited the build.prop and used the Nexus S, Samsung build (reboot), but on mine I only get a black screen, audio is working for about 5 to 8 seconds, then it goes back to the movie list.. no FC message... I was thinking maybe this is because I'm using a custom kernel + custom ROM? Are you guys using the stock kernel?... I also have a HTC G2 (supposedly supported), but on that phone I only get an audio and white screen...

i was using the royal ginger. Also evil-d just update his rom to work for it.

Were u using royal Ginger 2.0 or 1.6?
MT4G + CM7 + Faux's BFS LV kernel

2.0 but the official app won't work. You have to us the mod app I posted above.

Can the netflix.apk be modded itself?
inside the apk, there's a folder called "lib" and inside lib, there's a folder called "armeabi"
which lists
libnetflix_device1.so
libnetflix_device2.so
libnetflix_device3.so
libnetflix_device4.so
libnetflix_device5.so
libnetflixmp_jni.so
can a device6.so be added to the apk to add the mytouch?
or maybe one of the given, be edited?

[Q] Can we replace the vanilla Gingerbread MMS.apk with the HTC one?

EDIT: I realize that I messed up the title. I meant to write if we could replace the current HTC messaging app with the vanilla one.
Title says it all. I've gotten used to HTC's way of things but I'd really, really prefer the vanilla experience. Since we don't have S-OFF or custom AOSP roms yet, can we at least replace the MMS.apk on our Sensations with the vanilla one?

Bump. Does anyone have a clue? It's apparently been done on, for example, the G2. I'd really rather have stock messaging app.

Thanks for the answer. I guess this is another reason to anticipate S-OFF!

Right.....

Or how about you just install it with a file manager. Then disable the notifications from htc messagin app
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

I followed these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11050253&postcount=2 and used the Mms.apk provided there, which should be the 2.3 vanilla messaging app.
Everything went fine when copying over to the phone, etc., but when trying to actually open the app on my phone it force closes from the start. It does show the vanilla mms.apk icon though, the green text bubble with the smiley. If I could get this to stop force closing and actually open/work, I'd be happy!

I'll get you a link to one.

If you have Root Explorer or any other explorer, then try to copy and paste it to /system/app/ and reboot the phone. Hope that helps.

Won't work ppl. We don't have perm yet. I don't think it would work even then if I remember correctly

It should work as we have temp root which last till the reboot. And if not then you cant just use adb to either install or push. There should be ways around this. :/

Updated op r u rooted?

Root, CWM 4.0.0.9, and have already flashed various things.
I'll do a restore to my CWM backup I made which was done right after Root/busybox install.
I did a factory reset to my phone just prior to installing CWM and rooting the phone, so that CWM backup is as fresh as it gets after root.

I pulled the link from the Evo thread but this does work my Sensation. I'm running EagleBlood.

Does not work with 3.0.3 with dual core add-on. Well let me elaborate, it does indeed give the main submenu for settings and ringtones a black overlay as pictured in first post but it breaks the advanced quick settings tab and makes apps like internet browser and astro file manager unable to load. I continuously get a pop-up stating defaults need to be reset.
I tried to get some screen shots for you but when I went to the root of my device to edit the build.prop to enable screenshots and noticed I no longer had one after flashing this mod LOL. I'll see what I can do later tonight to get you some screens.

only thing i dont like is no touch to focus

can you give me better steps to doing this?

The easiest thing to do is just copy it to your root of your sdcard. Then open up Root Explorer and navigate to sdcard on your file tree to access your files there. Find Camera.apk, hold on it until the copy option comes up. Hit the back arrow to get back to your internal card file tree and navigate to "system". Under system you will see a folder called "apps". Select that....touch the R/W option to get out of read only then hit "paste" at the bottom. Leave Root explorer and use your new camera. Simple as that.

i would add a step before you paste and that would be to click the original camera app and rename to camera.app.bak or something along those lines so if you dont like the new camera you can revert back without having to reflash the rom

It would seem like a very good possibility. It ought to be pretty easy to give it a whirl without it disturbing anything else. Just make sure & set your permissions before leaving your file manager.

Im sure it "could" if we had a JB Sense ROM. AOSP lacks the proper framework files to run a Sense camera. So either dont do it, or make a nandroid for when it fails.
I guess i could take the liberty of making this flashable though. But my thing is, who to contact for permission and credit for this camera, the thread linked isnt even the original thread, so i would think its safe to post but DEF got to give credit
