Made this when showing my friend how rooting his desire is a good thing!
Re-skinning the clock seemed a good test and turned out well so im sharing it.....
PLEASE TRY THIS ON OTHER SENSE2.1 ROMS(Taiwan official) AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS!!!
There will probably be more to come as i play around please remember to backup!
nand backup (in case you dont like)
Flash through recovery..
If you cant see it in widgets (clock) clear data on HTC Sense (manage applications)

guess so i wanted to use it looks pretty cool and if it had the flip animation oh man that would be too awesome maybe you should make it compatible with Cronos Droid
i will repost one ready fpor chronos rom within next 24Hours
Post up any HtcClockWidget.apk from your rom and i will edit into the carbon one and add to first post....
Cronos has removed his rom from site so i cannot edit im afraid..
To pull from your rom run a cmd window and do these commands
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/HtcClockWidget.apk C:\ (C:\ being my hard drive label,change to E:\,F:\ etc depending on where you want it)
Then post up here
Thanks =D

Here you go! Please enjoy
adb remount
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app

If this doesnt work let me know i may NOT have done something,its late and ive been working on my carbon theme for about 6 hours now :'(
well I tried to push it but I got this
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app
failed to copy 'HtcClockWidget.apk' to '/system/app/HtcClockWidget.apk': Read-only file system
so I tried to copy and paste the .apk with rootexplorer and it told me
Code:
The process com.htc.RosieUtility has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
::EDIT::
I was looking at the /system/app with rootexplorer and there is a HtcClockWidget.odex so that is probably why it wouldn't work
I'll upload if incase you need it
odex
dont forget to adb remount before pushing.Sorry
i did
i tried it a couple times
::EDIT::
I restarted my phone and tried to push it again by copying and pasting what you wrote and it worked :S
and before under "HTC Widget" the was no clock, now there is but when i select the weather clock I get
Code:
The application Clock widget (process com.htc.widget.clockwidget) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I'll try a reboot and see if that helps
:::EDIT:::
Reboot did not help, clearing clock data did not help, clear HTC Sense data did not help =\
Final try,all ive done now is switched a few pngs hoping this works!!!!
Cronos 1.7 htcclockwidget.apk - Carbon
adb remount
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app
adb shell rm /system/app/HtcClockWidget.odex
doesnt work i go to add the clock to my home screen and there is nothing there it just says "Select widget style (1 of 0)" there is no picture
::EDIT::
I restart my phone and remounted and pushed again and the clock works but it is not carbon :S
it won't work because of the *.odex thingie right?

tested on JACxHEROSki2.2 A.B.RMX & Drizzy's last HERO rom. Maxisma1.6.1
If your on HERO rom but hate the ARC lockscreen here's how to change it.
get the attached file, unzip *.apk and extract it to the root of your sdcard, then perfrom the following:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb shell cp /sdcard/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
or console
mount /system/
rm /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
cp /sdcard/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
reboot
UPLOAD KEEPS TIMING OUT CHECK BACK LATER - IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HOST THE FILE PLEASE LET ME KNOW...if you want the file please send me a PM
this should be the same for the hero build you are on, but since the last hero build i downloaded was new vision revision 2 for a friends phone, i don't have a more current hero. with that said
it was in data/app_s/HtcLockScreen.apk/res in that folder there are 4 drawables. each of them contains parts to it. i would imagine you could just drop that .apk into another hero rom, sign it, and flash it.
though i would definitely make a nandroid first

thanks, what i actually ended up doing since both lockscreen.apk were the same i figured the "difference" i wanted laid somewhere else so through trial and error i figured it out.
it was the .com.htc.resources.apk from drizzy's rom that made the difference from an ARC lockscreen to a FULL lockcreen.
adb shell rm /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
adb shell cp /sdcard/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/
adb shell reboot
i should post a [how to] lol

a bit pointless to show screenshots of something that is not there. the lockscreen just shows the info that is normally on the arc, but no arc (the png files have been replaced with transparent versions)
Big thanks to the OP. I was doing this myself but didn't know enough adb to get my revised graphics back on to the phone.

AGREED, this just removes the arc from your lockscreen and shows the complete image - leaving just date and time.
I'll post a screenshot later, I guess.
haha oooh i got cha i didnt undestand exactly what you changed or modifited to the lockscreen =D
i have the transparent lockscreen also on mine hero rom
thanks!
console commands
So i unziped it to my sd card, but I can't remember if i put it in the root of my sdcard or if its in /sdcard/downloads, but I don't know the console command to list the directories or files in that folder, i know on ADB/terminal emulator its 'ls'
NVM i figured it out, had to also type mount /sdcard because it kept saying no such file, but mount /sdcard did the trick

dont modify the file in the actual rom - you'll get stuck in a boot loop due to the rom needing to be resigned.

I may need to try this, since my AppManager seems to not be working properly. After I run the uninstall script, do I just put the extracted HTC_IME.apk in the root folder of my SD card to run the install script?
EDIT: Okay, figured this out! I just put the HTC_IME.apk from the CM-4.1.11.1 ROM zip in my C:\ folder, opened cmd, nav to C:\ and ran those commands. Now HTC_IME Touch Input works!
This was going to be a deal breaker, and I gave up and went back to 4.0.4 until I saw this thread. Thx for the help.
How the noob made it work
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DGFGMI3I
Link above contains Clicker.apk, HTC_IME.apk, and libt9.so from cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 ROM
Code:
Adb remount
adb push \wateverlocation\libt9.so /system/lib
Then copy the clicker to /system/app... then use a FileManager on your phone to install.. I use ASTRO, its FREE...
you could also adb that, but don't recommend it.
Code:
adb push \wateverlocation\Clicker.apk /system/app
adb push \wateverlocation\HTC_IME.apk /system/app
I have tried what you have written, i have pushed it, but when i find it with the Astro manager i only get the option to UNinstall or details.
And when i try adb install from whateverlocation on pc i get:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
I have Abyzou ROM.
Forget it, it is installed. But now it force closes before it even opens! What the?!
See post HERE for the properly working HTC_IME.
Also has the text to speech option.

For some reason, on the G1 with AOSP1.6_r1.2 & expansion, When i write the new maps.apk (3.2) From Here, over the origonal GoogleMaps.apk, It installs Fine. And loads fine, But Once Android is rebooted, the old file comes back... Reminds me of microsoft's shadow copy..... Anybody have a clue on how to stop it or force a particular file????

You are correct.. thats where my GoogleMaps.apk is.
if you are replacing that file, then you could try to remove it, then install maps like a normal app onto the data partition.

Im in the middle of trying that right now.... It installed again without problems, now just waiting for the reboot to test if it got overwritten.
EDIT - Still no luck.... Just keeps getting Overwritten..... Can i change the Name of the new Google Maps so it has a new icon???
Any ideas anyone? Is this in the Wrong Forum??????
did you rm the file from /system/app/ and install it like a normal app? did you copy the .apk file from your sdcard to its location in /system/app/?
do you need commands on how to do this?
I deleted system/app/GoogleMaps.apk , and watched it disappear from the app drawer. then Moved the new GoogleMaps.apk into data/app/ . Installed it and ran it no problem... can exit and even go back into 3.2 no problem. but as soon as i reboot,the original GoogleMaps.apk is back in system/app/ ..... so im clueless.
I just installed successfully by copying the file to /system/app/Maps.apk
... not GoogleMaps.apk

then in the recovery console

rm /system/app/-insert appname form above-.apk
reboot
I just did the above and as soon as you reboot again the old google maps is back!
Perhaps you could copy the new maps over while in recovery after deleting the old one?
The Maps apk file is named "GoogleMaps.apk" btw.

I see you are running Enomther's ROM. I was having the same problem - it turns out that Enomther's ROM had an easy fix all along. Run expsetup in terminal and choose Option 15 - you can delete Google Maps right there (I took advantage of deleting a few other apps that I don't use at the same time).
Then just reboot - place your new GoogleMaps.apk in the /system/app folder and you are golden.
Thanks dude. Thats the solution to my question....
I posted in the other thread...It is in the following folder
/system/sd/expstick/vsapps/GoogleMaps.apk
I am running the new app and am on Enoms latest AOSP 1.6.
Great! That worked a treat. Got it working just fine.

MetaMorph script instructions
Assuming you have the sdk downloaded and adb setup:
1. Download the white notifications file and put on the root of your sd.
2. Flash this as an update.zip
3. Download MetaMorph.zip
4. Inside MetaMorph.zip is a folder MetaMorph, extract that to your tools folder inside your sdk directory (so you should have a MetaMorph folder with 2 files inside of it.)
5. Create AndroidThemes folder in the root of your sdcard, place the Team-theme-full.zip inside. Once done, unmount your usb, but leave connected to PC
type the following (you can copy also, to paste in the command window, you MUST right click, CTRL+V does not work)
Code:
cd\
cd your-sdk-directory
cd tools
adb remount
adb push MetaMorph /system/bin

Longhorns Blow!!!!!
ROLL TIDE!!!!!
I'm not a fan of either so I don't care either way, but Longhorns was requested, Tide wasn't. I have a Tide theme too.
sorry for questions flashed white notifications no problems went to flash frameworks res and it says not a valid theme control file.
You just have to reapply that part of the MetaMorph file that you did before. So open the MetaMorph app, chose existing theme, navigate to the folder where you have the Texas-MM file. Pick the folder instead of the zip, inside the folder there is a Texas-mm.thm file select that. Instead of doing the whole theme though, you only need to select the framework-res.apk and apply it.
I dont like Texas...........................but this Texas Longhorns Theme is off the chain...........Still-------->> SAINTS all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever since I applied this theme my market app crashes tried to reapply vending.apk using MM to no avail. Any ideas? The market downloads and as soon as it starts to install i get FC

Hi all,
Was not really sure where to put this apologies if its the wrong place.
I recently created my own analog clock, I'm using CM7 RC0, I simply replaced the clock background .png in the original desktopclock.apk, renamed it, signed it and then installed it through filemanager.
Now, it works fine! I was very happy, until I rebooted my phone today, got back onto the desktop and it had reset to the original anolog clock! Tried it again and sure enough everytime I reboot I have to reinstall the .apk!
Anybody have any idea why on earth this would happen?
Many thanks,
Sean
This was originally brought to my attention with the HTC_IME mod by Jonasl. I installed a themed version over the top of the one already installed by default in /system/app and on reboot the original (quite frankly ugly) keyboard was back...
for some reason I do not know, you have to manually un-install the previous version. Don't know why...
use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644909
to un-install the original apk for the clock, then push your app into /system/app using adb. reboot and it should all be sorted... I hope.
Great stuff, thank you for your help. Now I wonder how to do this using linux, I will look into it, at least I know what the problem is

I'm on linux right now, and I did this to remove my stock messaging app not 3 hours ago...
Just open up your terminal and use adb, assuming you have the androidsdk on your computer...
If you don't it's going to be a little harder, you're going to have to find a root exploring file manager and delete the analog clock app from /system/app and then you're going to have to put the new one there AFTER rebooting.
If you want adb just ask and I'll tell you how to get it.
1. download the android sdk from http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-linux_x86.tgz
2. open up the .tgz and extract it to /home/-your_user_name/androidsdk
3. open up terminal and type
su
PATH=$PATH:/home/-your_user_name/androidsdk/tools
adb
adb devices <-------(make sure your device is connected and in debug mode. If that fails just boot into recovery)
