If you want to have somethink like this, do:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *
After this you have to delete all HTCLockscreen wallpapers.
I prefer to use Android Commander.
Go to /system/customize/resource
delete all wallpaper with *lockscreen.jpg end
After this download zip from attachment, unpack it to sdk/tools dir and:
Code:
adb push HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Tested on Robomix 2.0b, It should work on other Hero ROM's. I hope you like it

man...
... dont try this on an ChocolateRom 2.1 :=)...
results in something like this...
you have to know that you have to drag the unlock mechanism from top to bottom^^ - besides the strange look^^
best regards,
mike

I had this when i havent pushed HtcLockScreen.apk - same results

Hmm,
Adb command line told me push was successful... directly afterwards i did the restart.
Can u confirm that it works for 2.1?
Thanks a lot,
Greets,
Mike

[Q] How to modify apps and themes

First of all thank you for reading this.
I've flashed Darky's ROM v6.0, it was working great. Then flashed this theme, it was still great, moreover even better.
Then I had the idea, what if I make the transparent background of the dialer a little bit darker so I extracted the DialerTabActivity.apk from Darky's ROM, changed the corresponding PNG, saved the new apk with TotalCommander and replaced the original DialerTabActivity.apk in the phone with RootExplorer. It was all right, it was working fine after reboot as well.
Then I had a greater idea, at least it seemed to be a great idea at that time What if I replace the gradient status bar background with a plain black background... I've done everything the same way with the framework-res.apk, yet after restart basically everything force closed. Tried to reflash the theme but it didn't help.
I was wondering what have I done wrong.
1) Why did it work with the dialer the first time and what went wrong with the framework-res.apk?
2) What is the correct way to do these modifications?
Thank you for all your help.

The method was fine. Both modified apks work after ROM reinstall.
Mods attached below.
Dark Transparent theme mod: Full black status bar
Based on XXJPX Dark Transparent 1.7 +AOSP +9patched images +No menu-button unlock +Extended menu +Circle battery mod
Download
Install:
Make sure that no custom wallpaper is set from the Gallery, use a stock wallpaper instead for now. At least this caused me problems first.
Flash it with CWM recovery
Works great on Darky's JPX ROM v6.0

Get ICS-STYLE Settings.apk in AndroWiz3.0 CM7!!

ICS-style Settings.apk in AndroWiz v3 CM7​
So I found this great tutorial on editing your Settings.apk to be more like the Settings in ICS with labels to organize the settings into groups.
By the way I've never done any kind of XML editing before, and this tutorial makes it really easier to understand what you're doing:laugh:
You can find the Tutorial here, written by balamu96m ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576565&highlight=framework
So I've made a Settings.apk to replace if you are running AndroWiz 3.0 cm7. It has Wireless & Networks label, Device label, and Personal label.
You can download AndroWiz v3 here----->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560491&highlight=androwiz
This ROM is super fast, and it boots up for me in 15 sec!
This may or may not work with Hashcodes Cyanogenmod7, feel free to test it out if you want though

This is what the labels should say, depending on your theme in Cyanogenmod the Labels may look slightly different. i have notice this when switching to another theme, the labels had a slightly different colored background.
I am not responsible for any damage that you do to your phone in this process
Intstructions:
Firstly always make a backup of the Settings.apk, and make a nandroid if youre feeling extra safe
I would suggest using Root Explorer
Rename to Settings.apk
Copy to SDcard
Navigate to the .apk in Root Explorer
Copy it
Paste it into a /system directory BEFORE putting it in /system/app. I put it in /system/media
If you get an error that it is read-only, press ok, and then hit the button in the right hand corner that says 'Mount R/W'. After you tap it it should now say 'Mount R/O'
Now you can paste it again
Now hold your finger on the .apk, and in the menu that pops up select 'Permissions'
Check these boxes
Code:
owner - read write
group - read
others - read
Now copy the apk to /system/app
If it asks you to replace, select 'yes'
Now go back to /system and press the 'Mount R/O' button
Close Root Browser, reboot, and enjoy!

[GUIDE]How to get Play Music back!

OK, something that can happen when you install a custom rom that the music player has changed to "apollo" or something else.
So lets restore the old music app back!
Before we start remove all the thing you tried before please...
First thing you need to do is disable (or remove) the old music player.
So go to Setting --> Apps --> everything. And Click on the music player for disabling.

Now download the App.
Place it in the root of your nexus 7.
Brows with a file explorer (with root access) to "/SDCARD" and copy your file to "/SYSTEM/APP"Note: If you can not copy please make sure your system is mounted Read-write.
To make sure it is mounted RW do "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" in your console.
Or if you use root explorer there is a small button with R/W that you can press.​
Fix your permissions RW--R--R
And Reboot.

And why can't one just install Google Music from the market?

This didn't work for me... I did everything and rebooted and it's not showing up in my app drawer.... any ideas?

Because not everybody lives in the UK or USA. In Belgium we don't have access to that application. And if i use a market-enabler the app does not work good.

? Strange Are you sure that you placed it in system/apps and that the permissions are correct. Normally you will get a message "Android is updating..." after reboot.

[MOD]3minit Battery-Boot animation-Centered Clocks OE2

This is for the Edge folks that are rooted and on OE2 and would like the option of running the 3minit battery Mod. Some of these will have colored status-toggle icons and matching centered clocks. I'm starting with blue and will add more as I get time and if anyone is interested in these.
If you are running a theme from the theme store but want these toggles to show up, in your root explorer, go to your root drive, data/app, find your custom them (there will be several files for it) find the one that ends in "lock". Copy-move it to your SD card and reboot.
If you want all 30 toggles install this app, go to the bottom and "add all notification toggles". Big thanks to [email protected] for this useful app. It was made for Sprint users but a lot of the stuff works on ours too.

Here's a link to his post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
I got this to work on the one Odexed rom I tried. Make sure you have a root explorer on your phone. Flash this file first (this is stock but will give you a centered clock). https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347798382
After rebooting, your phone will not have a status bar or toggles but you will have access to all your apps. Open your root explorer and go to system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm folder and delete the two Odexed files. Reboot and you are free to proceed with the other steps if you want the 3minit battery mod. You must now install the 3minit apk below before you flash any of the other mods.
YOU MUST INSTALL THE 3MINIT BATTERY APK FIRST OR YOUR SYSTEMUI WILL CRASH! Flash these at your own risk, make a backup first. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

Don't forget to hit the thanks button if you like these!

I will give it a try.

The red toggle looks pretty sick, nice work on the color variations.
