I dont believe there is a apk for it as if you remove htclockscreen.apk it gives you the n1 lockscreen.

Right. I did that in evil Eris 2.0 and it has a background picture rather than being transparent. I'm trying to locate the .png it is loading so I cam change it to a transparent one.

no one has figured out how to make it transparent again, i read it was being looked into. i prefer the background as it doesnt conflict with my htc clock on the home screen.

using root explorer
go into system>app>
long press on HtcLockScreen.apk
choose move and paste on your sdcard or you can choose to delete.
(I choose to save it incase I want it for later)
reboot phone and you should see the changes.
(for EE2 users) Just so you know, as of right now, you can not change the image for the Nexus Lockscreen. (I have tried a few times and for whatever reason it will not accept the change, it sends my phone into a loop)

EE2= evil eris 2, it's a rom for those that are rooted. If you are on the leak, no root, then you can't make this change.

Make sure you have read/write mode on. You can also remove using adb

Using rootexporer, just open the folder you want to remove the apk, at the very top, you will see it says mounted as r/o and then a button that says mount R/W. Hit that button. Now you can remove/edit files in that dir.
Piece of advice. If you are truly interested in learning your phone, look into adb commands. There are a few programs listed on this forum that do it for you or you can learn the commands yourself and just enter them via cmd line.

This will only work if your phone is rooted correct? Won't work on nonrooted or leak v3?

is he right? cuz im not rooted i just have the official 2.1 and yea im not seeing the mount R/W option..

Yeah, after doing some research it does turn out you have to be rooted. I'm trying to adb my phone now and keep getting blocked out.
You have to root first.

[Q] When someone says /etc/....

I'm familiar with the linux filesystem, but what i'm not sure is how to access or view this file system. Say I wanted to place a file in /etc/system, what program can i use to do that? When connected to my PC via USB, all I get is the SD card with download..data...titanium backup..gps...etc
Cheers

First you need to root your phone. As the term implies it gives you root access.
Then use an app like root explorer to get into root directories, mount them as rw, then do as you will.

Hello,
for me sounds like you need root access to your system to see this folders and a file explorer with root too like root explorer....but is not for free. I already didn´t found a free option.
Is only a idea...I didn´t try self
Edit: I was too slow :-D

My phone is rooted with Darky's 9.5. I would know how to do this in linux, mounting...chmod for permissions, something like that...are you saying an app like root explorer lets me access /etc, /mnt, and so on? Are there free alternatives?

How to acces "system" folder on Droid 3?

If a connect it to the PC, i cannot see the system folder. (is there any trick I am not aware of?)
If i use a folder manager, i cannot put a ringtone in the system/media folder...its probably protected or so.
does it HAVE to be rooted or so?
thank you.

Root is required to make changes to /system
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

If you wanna put a ringtone in /system/media use root explorer. That's the easiest way for you, if you're advanced and wanna get familiar with adb, adb push it

I assumed that
but is the ROOT safe at this time? i have red a lot of issues after ROOTing...

Uhh... root is kinda never safe? Haha. Idk what you mean by that

getting root itself normally isnt a big issue.. normally people run in to more trouble when they have attempted flashes that go awry.

I used to flash my HTC Touch Pro 2 with a CUSTOM Rom almost every month... for more than 1 year..and no issues there...
but the number of topics with problems after booting the D3...made me think again when modding this phone...

With just a root, you should be ok. I feel that just rooting does very little, and as said before, the issues only arise when we try to take advantage of what root enables us to do...freezing, modding, flashing, etc.

i just want to put a custom ringtone (mp3 file) in the ringtones folders.
the ringtones from this phone..are really stupid.
any ideas which does not include root?

Well I use the MIUI music app and when it asks me to choose a ringtone I just chooose it through that
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

Use Ringdroid, it's free in market. Ringdroid allows you to crop and edit audio files, turn them in to ringtones and set them as default.

worked perfectly with ringdroid
if i unistall the application, the ringtone will remain?

use root explorer. Thats how i get to it.

nope. if i try to move with root explorer a file in system folder, it says i can not do that. probably because the phone is not rooted.

Exactly. Do not be afraid to root it, you can unroot it whenever you like.

Root explorer isn't nedded anymore. ES file explorer can browse as root, and it's free.

[Q] need help with r/w permissions

Hello
I recently picked up a HD Fire which is on the newest update 7.2.1 and rooted it with the "Qemu automated root" method, which it said was successful. I see the SU app, thing is "ES file explorer" wont let me turn on root explorer and another app "root explorer" wont let me change system permissions to R/W to move apps around.. I am stuck, and I am assuming that I am not rooted if I cant change permissions?
Thanks..

.... I cant change anything with Read only and I am not able to enable r/w, including moving files to root directory with the app.
Edit: Weird.. I redid the root process for the 5th time and it finally worked.

Glad you got it working....In My experience (which isnt great) Id Just sack ES Explorer and use Root Explorer....Its quite simple in there. There is a button at the top that is for read only or read write.....It says Mount R/W to get read write or when your in RW it says Mount R/O for read Only. Im a massive fan of Root Explorer ....And no I dont have anything to do with it......Its the best Stat! for less than £4 I also have their SQL database editor....Which actually lets you edit stuff...Unlike some Ive had to get refunds for!

Hello,
when I try to switch Root Explorer I got message:

[EASIEST]Crack Android Pattern/Pin/Password Lockscreen without root!

Reset Android Pattern/Password/Pin lock (PROBABLY without even root)​
PHP:
I am not responsible for your device being dead, you flashing stock ROM, you using your device as a brick, or any harm to any information, personal or intellectual property, terrorism, vandalism, theft, or any other thing by use or misuse of this mod.
This guide is for educational purpose only
Introduction
It sucks when you forget your passwords
But Gmail account can save you. But what for those who don't have it?
There are some methods to reset them
Wiping data being most popular
But, why loosing precious data when there is a easier or easiest to do method
This is a new method found and tested by me on a rooted device but the resources it uses are available to be used without root too, so it may work on unrooted devices too.
This method uses Aroma File Manager by amarullz in Recovery Mode of the device to delete the password database related files. So, it should work on all devices!
So, first you need to download AROMA FILE MANAGER from this thread :-​
Aroma File Manager​
Credits:-​
*amarullz for Amazing Aroma File Manager
*m.sabra for information about which files are related to passwords and pattern
Instructions:-
​
1. Download Aroma File Manager.
2. Place it in the root of your sdcard(Preferred)
3. Reboot into recovery
4. For CWM:
Mount all partitions (including sd-ext if you have it)
And flash Aroma File Manager from sdcard
For stock recovery(Samsung e3):
In stock recovery, there is no option to mount partitions, so
Flash Aroma File Manager, Click on menu option and go to settings
Select Mount All Partitions
Now, exit from Aroma File Manager and reflash it.
Now, you will see each partition is mounted
5. Now, go to /data/system
Note : If you have sd-ext mod to increase internal storage, go to /sd-ext/system/
6. Now, If you have to remove pattern lock, long press and delete gesture.key
If you want to remove password, delete password.key
7. Exit the Aroma File Manager
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy

Thanks.
Now my friend is going to cry a lot

Big thanks!
I had forgotten my PIN and I can do nothing for help :crying: because I disabled the root access by adb, I tried any method like installing a app to bypass the lock screen, use adb command to disable and much much more...
BUT IT DID NOT WORK!!!
A big thank to the developer, again, because you help me save all my data and save my time.

Thanks Areeb, you just saved my friend data. :thumbup:

He used the word "Rooted device" .... So if you are rooted...you can easily install a custom recovery from a stock recovery.
And also gave a possibility for non-rooted device. Tested on rooted.

This method was posted long time ago in the portal... For not rooted phones, you need adb debugging enabled and use adb from a PC to delete the files needed to disable security... For rooted phones, same story plus what the OP mentioned...
