Short answer, no. Lock screens are integrated very tightly with the framework.

wallpapers
And what about system wallpapers, in which folder should I place files to see them in wallpapers, but not in gallery?

Do you mean Stericson's lockscreen? If it's in a theme then really you'd have to ask the theme developer because Stericon's lock screen is tied in to services.jar, framework-res ect. So if you overwrite with the original files you'll loose all the graphical mods in those files.

Nahh I mean in the hero ROMs, like how drizzy hows the full lockscreen, but I want the stock one. My bad I should be more descriptive in the thread

Where is a Rom's default wallpaper stored?

I want to extract the stock wallpaper that came with a certain rom. Where in the rom would I be able to find it?
These are possible places to look:
-Framework-res.apk(extract the apk)-->/drawables folders
-Launcher.apk(extract apk)
-Rosie.apk(sense rom)
-(Theme name)Lightshow.apk,nature.apk,etc(MtSlide rom)
im new to the whole rom thing but i was under the impression my phone was going to look exactly like the pictures i saw of the rom ha. guess not.

framework-res.apk
res-->drawable-->default_wallpaper.jpg
Its in framework-res.apk you can extract the apk using 7zip.
pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework off of the phone.
Once its extracted look in res/drawable-hdpi the name of the file is default_wallpaper.jpg
This rom works great, however when I try to change the Homescreen wallpaper and select a wallpaper from astro file manager, I get FC every time. If I use the built in wallpapers, it works.

WHAT ROM? Maybe you should post in the thread of the ROM you're using, just in case that's part of the issue.
Instead of resurrecting a dead thread. No offense, but come on.
wrongly posted... nothing specific for htc droid eris, so deleted...
haha wrong thread
Is there a way to replace the default wallpaper in the apk? Every time the UI crashes I keep having to look at this crappy blue and purple wallpaper.

[MOD]custom transition animation

really want to share with you guys
i searched for a while in desirehd forum, and didn't see a thread about custom transition animation
i guess a lot of us are searching for this =]
this is the original thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849963
but i guess a detail instruction is necessary: (succeded just now)
1. copy "framework-res.apk" (/system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your sdcard
2. open it via 7zip on ur PC
3. Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download in the original thread) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
4. go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9190418
5. download the attachment - Blank Update.zip.zip
6. Extract "Blank Update.zip.zip" then Open up the update.zip with 7zip
7. Drag your modified framework-res.apk to the "framework" folder in 7zip to overwrite the existing blank framework-res file
8. Close update.zip (agree to any messages about updating the file)
9. Copy update.zip to your sdcard
10. Flash the update.zip via ClockworkMod
havefun ^^
Not working for me...
I'm on an htc sense rom and used UOT kitchen to cook update.zip.
By the way, do you know how to get keyboard display/hide animation on stock rom?
It is far easier just to use MetaMorph and the relevant zip files can be found all over the forum. I will post them if anyone wants them.
Regards.
Anyone knows what files are for Opening and Closing an app? I want to replace only those but donĀ“t know what xmls I have to use!
well, That works for me.
Thanks
Works great for me with Revolution HD.
Thanks

Make sure you have animations enabled in settings >> display >> animations
Great guide! I've been doing this exact same thing for some weeks now on my Leedroid based DHD
One thing i could never get working was the stock android keyboard animation. The one where the keyboard slides up and down. On Sense roms there is no animation. Anybody here managed to get that animation working with Sense?

Nope, I installed the stock android animation files on Sense ROM (Revolution HD), and I have no keyboard animation, so this must be coded somewhere else...

It worked with my Desire HD.
and I applied this method to add animation + battery icon as well.
Work like a charm.
take a look this post: http://www.galaxyroot.com/mod-how-to-get-back-the-inputkeyboard-animation/
anyone who know where can i find "\res\values\styles.xml" ?
i guess can get back the keyboard animation in this file.

If its a sense rom, its in framework-res.apk.
You need to open it, go to /res/drawable-hdpi and the file is defaultwallpaper.jpg

I was do it broo... but same result
and I do change the wallpaper in this address ==> system\customize\resource (Azooz , Azooz_grid , Azooz_panel and Azooz_panel_land )
then I change this line In file "build" :
dev.defaultwallpaper=/system/customize/resource/Azooz.jpg
Any mistake in my work?
If its a sense rom>>>
yes It's sense 3.6 , ICS
Never tried that method.
I think the problem is that it only works on the default HTC stock skin, by the video it seems you're using burgundy or something

When you change the default wallpaper in the framework-res.apk, you need to hit apply for the default HTC skin under settings--> personalise for the wallpaper to appear
When you set another skin it will set that wallpaper. Is that what you asked?? Sorry, I can't see what the phone says in the video

Nice to know it worked. Looking forward to your release mate, glad I could help
see what happen :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1-epF6_YZ4&feature=youtu.be7
my be must like this:
persist.sys.skin=com.htc.skin.HTC(default)

Another idea: Go to the wallpapers in the rom, and put your wallpaper in there under the name of the default one.

[Q] few questions

Hi there :}
- Is there a way to keep the Sense 5 app drawer with the clock and weather top in Nova launcher?
- I would like to change the multitasking window to the stock one. Like it is in the GE editions where you swipe to the right to kill an app. Can I do that somehow?
Thanks for the replies!

1) Not possible.
2) Yes it's possible, just edit (with Notepad++) the default.xml file in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml. Inside the default.xml file search for:
<item type="boolean" name="isHtcStyleRecentApp">true</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And:
<item type="boolean" name="support_HtcStyleRecentApp">true</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's about 412 and 430 lines and it's the "values" for the HTC recent apps style.
Change "true" to "false", save, replace the file and set the correct permissions, like the original file, reboot and you're good.
You can also do that directly from your phone with a file explorer (like Root Explorer), edit the same file, save then reboot and you're good. You'll have the stock Android recent apps style.
Make a Nandroid backup before, just in case.
Thank you very much I will do this today. Also I would like to use the AOSP lockscreen and the Analogue clock from the GE edition. I dont want to use hololocker. What is the best way to do these?

Re,
Sorry but for these... I don't know but I doubt it's possible (or at least with an app like Widgetlocker or something similar in the Playstore for the lockscreen).
Second solution is to use a custom rom that allows this -> dev section-> search in the OP for the different rom's... I'm sure I've seen some custom rom's with this option (Viper for example). It depends if you want keep a "stock-custom" rom with the closest look (with a tweak here and there, but it's "soft" or a rom with multiples tweaks...
Take a closely look on the rom in the dev section
Yeah, I installed Viper ROM today. I like it so far.
