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.

I don't have the .apk for HTC Navigation, but when/if you do get it, just to to system/app and rename your current nav application (i.e. navigation.apk.old) if you don't want it to show up in your app list, but don't want to uninstall.

hmm, could you kindly explain what "pushing" is, and how to do it?

my android pushing and pulling files.
for those of you new to android and adb.

ok here is the real answer
pulled directly from android developer tools.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance
You can use the adb commands pull and push to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the install command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the pull and push commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance.
To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use
adb pull <remote> <local>To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use
adb push <local> <remote>In the commands, <local> and <remote> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).
Here's an example:
adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt

How to push the file via your sd card
So for an example on pushing a file from a computer to phone make sure you are in recovery mode. And assuming you have the apk somewhere on your sd card. Open command prompt and navigate to your sdk-tools to use adb. THIS EXAMPLE IS STRAIGHT FROM FRESH THATS WHY I SAYS ..../FRESH-REMOVED-APKS/. That is just the location on your sd card so this is where you need to type where the file is. WHATEVERAPP.apk thats what the apk name is. Make sure that it is the same spelling and spacing/no spacing as well. notice the space after .apk as well. Now you are ready simply type the following commands (enter at the end of each line.) Last line is simply where your file is on your sdcard then the file name as it appears in the file on your sd card. Hope this helps!
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell mount /system
adb shell
cp /sdcard/fresh-removed-apks/WHATEVERAPP.apk /system/app

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.

Need help

I rooted my cool with one click method and tried to flashed the latest tiamat kernel for SD card capabilities got as far as the and remount step and got to the step where you adb push the kernels system files and it didn't work it said file location doesn't exist now my WiFi doesn't work I'm sorry this is just one big sentence but I need help.

Do you mean it can't find the files on your computer? Easiest fix is to copy all files in every subdirectory of the ZIP archive into one folder and run the adb commands from there.

My cmd is c:/users/(nam

E)/ and I put the kernels system files there and adb pushed the file name and location and it still didn't work

does your cmd window look anything like the attached file?

put single qoutes around your C:\ path like this 'C:\path\to\kernel\file'

When starting to type out a file name in the command prompt, pressing the TAB key will try to fill in the title. It ensures that you've got quotes around everything too if needed.
Like if I wanted to list the C:\Program Files folder, I'd type "dir C:\progr" and hit tab after going that far. It'll fill in what it can. Just keep typing to help it along as you press tab.

I copied and pasted what the instructions said about the kernel my CMD directory isn't c temp its c users (computer name)

OK, let's try it this way. I packed you all the files of the Tiamat 1.3.1 into an archive that does not create subdirectories. Please follow the steps below:
connect the Xoom
create a directory on C: called "temp"
extract all files from the archive found here to c:\temp\
Start cmd (command prompt)
Simply copy and paste the next steps, line by line:
Code:
cd C:\temp\
adb shell
mkdir /data/media/sdcard2
exit
adb reboot bootloader
(wait until Motorola logo shows)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
(wait for reboot)
Code:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
Please let me know if that works for ya!

Never mind root my xoom got updated with the latest tiamat kernel with SD card support thanks anyways

yes just push the folder containing those files (you can leave a space at the end of your push command and specify a particular location in your android device)
