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.

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.

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.
Just rooted my new Note using Dr.Ketan's guide. All went perfectly well and quick. Big thanks to him.
Reinstalled same stock ROM( Austria). Strange thing: The Samsung application Torch has disappeared. Not a big deal, I know there are tons of them in Plays store.
I liked that one because it had 3 levels of brightness. Just curious: did it happen to anyone?
i have same problem.
i think you downgraded to older ROM (maybe base on 2.3.5) which not included torch app
I downgrated to older rom to get it rooted, but after I flashed exactly same rom, that i had before rooting.
Look if you still have the app in /system/app..
What kernel do you have? Some said that app does not work with kernels other than CF-Root and IIRC latest franco..
I have pda N7000XXLC1, PHONE N7000XXLB2, CSC N7000XXLB3,
It is exactly as before rooting.
kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
I can't find system folder. Don't see the torch in Titanium backup
Go to Settings > About Phone and see what's under kernel..
Use a file manager with root privileges (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc) and navigate to /system/app and look there
If you don't find it, open your backup zip with 7zip (or any ROM zip that you know it has that app) and copy the apk from there to your /system/app folder using one of the file managers mentioned above and set permissions like the other apks and reboot..
I know, that my rom had it and doesn't have it now..
it is not in /system/app. Sorry for the dumb question, but where my backup zip. suppose to be? thanks
Ohh..I assumed you made a backup before flashing..
I just check an old LB1 ROM I have and there is an apk named torchwidget.apk I think it's what you're looking for, check if you already have it but if you don't I'll upload it for you..
no, I didn't do backup because there is the same rom in Doctors list, so i flashed it after rooting. I checked in my apps, i don't have it. If you upload it, it would be great. thanks
I appologize, I do have it in system/apps, but it doesn't run for some reason
Here is the file:
Download HERE
- Move that file to your sd card
- Use any file manager with root privileges
- Copy and paste that file to /system/app
- Long press on it and choose "Permissions" from the menu
- Set the permissions so it will be like the other apks in that folder "rw-r--r--"
- Reboot your phone and test the widget

That's weird..
Even when you try to add the widget to your home screen?
the permissions are same as for other apps. To move it to home screen i need to see it in applications,right? but i don't have it there. Am i missing something?i see it only in file manager
It might be only a widget without actual app..
Go to Settings > Applications > All, do you see it there?
If so then it's only a widget and not a full app, long press on your home screen and see if it appears under the widgets list..

goings nuts. dug google for an hour, run search with root explorer, dug around on xda, turned phone upside down - but no luck. its not in data/app, system/app, cache/download, sdcard/download, to name some. its silly that single apk could be buried god knows where on android.
really run out of ideas where to search. any suggestions? thanks.
Probably in /sdcard/.android_secure then.
Check if it's installed on the sdcard in the program manager. If it is you can move it back to phone storage, which *will* be in /data/app.

nice suggestions - thanks trym!
but no. it's not in .android_secure and it's not installled on sd. should be in data/app but no.
Are you sure you're looking for the right name? Remember, the filenames in /data/app need not even resemble the name of the app.
However, should be easy to find anyway.
Uninstall the app.
List the contents of data/app
Install it
List contents again and find the extra filename.

sure, i'm not quite certain what string to look for aside of obvious "zoom" or similar. however, when listing /app directories, the root browser displays the app icons so it's not hard to identify what's what but i just cannot locate it anyway. but thanks for effort!
Turns out I'd actually bought this app, sorry for not remembering. Installed it, mine is named "slide.cameraZoom-1.apk"

i also bought it, but it wasn't in data/app.
anyway, status report: after last update from play store day ago it appeared in data/app under upper mentioned name. copied apk finally. where it was before the update remains a mystery.
Dont know whether its a nice suggestion or not
But if u r a root user dn u can download root app delete from market and in that just click on the app it will show u the destination of the apk.

This tweak worked on the stock T-Mobile OCG ROM, and will likely work for other stock based ROM's.
I used the "SQLite Editor" app to do this tweak. Other SQLite editors should work as well.
1.Launch SQLite Editor and select "Files" and drill down into /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
2. Select "system"
3. Press the "+" option
4. Leave _id set to auto
5. Add in the name field "notification_panel_brightness_adjustment" (without the quotes)
6. Add in the value field "0" (number zero without the quotes)
7. Press save
8. Exit and reboot
If you decide at a later time you want it back, just change the value of that field to a 1 then save and reboot.

Nice find! However since I actually use the brightness slider daily, I won't be getting rid of it. Now we just need to find a way to get rid of the S Finder/Quick Connect from the notification panel.

Thanks, I had been looking at another tutorial involving cutting a few lines from status_bar_extended, but it hadn't occurred to me simply to change its size to zero in dimens. >.<
This doesn't seem worth a whole new thread, so I've attached a systemui whose only change is the removal of the sfinder/qconnect bar. I believe you also have to delete the arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz file for things to work properly.
Edit for basic instructions:
Use a root-enabled file manager or console to replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the attached file, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz. Make sure the permissions of the new SystemUI.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk at the console). Reboot and enjoy.
Caveat: you may not be able to swipe away notifications from within the region previously taken up by the sfinder/qconnect bar.
Great! Can also be done via adb:
Code:
adb shell settings put system notification_panel_brightness_adjustment 0

You either need a root-enabled file manager or su at a console, and replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the file I provided, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz, then reboot. As always, I strongly recommend making backups and of course, I can provide no guarantees, yadda yadda.

So, let me get this straight. You wanted to remove the stock lockscreen and use your own? What exactly is Keyguard.apk? what did you accomplish? I am asking cause I am trying to remove my own (or to be honnest just change it). And what's the difference between the apk and the bak files?
Thanks in advance!
