Hey guys,
I've been looking into the problem of HTC Sense lockscreen for a while, the best solution I found yet was No Lock. I'd much rather enjoy the lockscreen from Motorola Droids where they slide to unlock/silent mode.
Previously, I've tried to uninstall HTC Lockscreen from Manage Applications, and Quick System Info (eg. any other app manager). Operation not successful.
So I opened ES File manager and went to /system/app/ and found HtcLockScreen.apk . But I can't rename, delete, move, uninstall it from here either.
NOWW,
I was wondering if anyone else had located this HtcLockScreen.apk or any other LockScreen.apk , and if they could upload it so I could try to install that apk over my sense lockscreen. Has anyone tried this? Is this possible?
Thanks.

Remount system, then it should be removable etc

Ok I've done a little research on this but can't find what I'm looking for exactly.
I really don't like the Blur Contacts app. I have figured out how to filter things correctly so I only get my usual Google contacts but I'd still like to get one feature back that I had on CM - direct dial and direct text message shortcuts. They were supported through the AOSP Contacts app from what I can figure out. The Blur Contacts app has something similar but it doesn't work consistently. Does anyone know if it's possible to install the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk extracted from CM 6.1.1 (what I had on my EVO) and bring them over to my rooted Atrix?
I'd like a different contacts manager as well. This one combines services which is not what I want/need. Any suggestions that are similar to CM contacts on N1 would be appreciated!
+1 more here for a different contacts app.

I'd also love the AOSP dialer

I tired this few days ago, nothing worked. =/
Click install throws an error and says it can't be installed. Pushing the apk to /system just has no result.
Moto's contacts are terrible.
How to Install Android AOSP Apk, in any system.
Find the AOSP apps from a CM6 build by unzipping and pulling the .apk file like browser.apk. Install "File Expert" (Free and amazing file browser with full root access and alteration capabilities application)
Copy the .apk you wish to have on to your phones SD Card
Run File Expert,
hit menu/more/File Explorer settings. Then check "Root Explorer" on the bottom.
hit menu/more/mount/Mount As Read Write
Browse to /System/Apps Find the App you wish to replace with the AOSP version.
Hold Down on the App and when the options come up choose file operations and rename to something like application name.apk.bak
Browse to your SD Card find your app. hold down to choose file operation then choose copy.
Go back to /System/Apps then hit Menu button and choose paste.
Locate the app you just pasted and hold down on it and in file operations choose "permissions" Check Everything and exit out of File Expert
Note: You may need to redo the shortcuts for the app on your desktop and or launcher.
Note: Must have a rooted phone.
Note: 2.3.3 apps may or may not work on 2.2 Android Roms and vice versa.
Note: if this causes errors or failures delete the new apk and rename the old apk to its original name.
Good luck!!
can someone upload the contacts apks?

Download the latest Cyanogen mod for your phone or any. Unzip on your pc and go to the folder labeled system/apps. Get the apps you want from there and pass them to your phone via USB to your phone then follow my previous instructions.
I have already tried to install a different dialer/contacts app. I had no luck, I think that the stock dialer/contacts are to deeply tied into motoblur and the phone system. It won't break your system but you just will not have a dialer or contacts.
Did you try it to my exact instructions. Making sure to you the cyanogen mod that corresponds to your version of android? If it didnt show up on your list you may have tried the 2.3.3 instead of s2.2 dialer.
Oh, I would love to hear the solution to this. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. I pulled Contacts.apk from a Liberty backup I have and have been trying to replace BlurContacts.apk with it to no avail. I believe someone above may have touched on it. Possibly to change when other things look for BlurContacts, and instead refer to Contacts.apk?
I have tried several different contact apps. None work I think that the blur apps are to deeply tied into the system to allow a change.
Bump
any progress ??

I've actually been using GoContacts. It seems to work like how I want my contacts to work(I.E like ASOP) plus allows for a little bit more tweakability.

You need more then just the lockscreen. I believe you also need fusion and possibly more depending on which HTC lockscreen you want to use. Also to install system apps you need to push them via adb / terminal emulator or make them flashable from recovery.

all the apps (other than fusion) start with "idlescreen" - and you can for sure move w/root explorer change perms and reboot for /system apps, I do it all the time.
@OP - I would say try to find on of the "senseless" ROMs (there's a bunch) which has a flashable zip to get back the 3.0 lockscreen. Since all these ROMs are on sense framework and deodexed, any of them should work. Good luck.

I know most will, but I've had some HTC apps that won't install with Root Explorer (HTC Footprints for example would not), adb, te, and flashables work 100% of the time.

Hey guys,
I had done this before on an older custom TW ROM on my Tab 10.1, but I cannot get this to work at all on Paris 5 or the new 3.2 ROM by task.
I renamed the current DigitalClock.apk to .bak in Root Explorer, rebooted, moved the modified one to system/app and changed permissions to be similar, then rebooted again but widget does not show up in the list.
I then tried doing this all via ADB on the PC, which I think is how I got it to work the first time. I deleted the modded apk from system/app to start fresh. I did an install command of the modded apk into system/app after mounting system in ADB shell. Then chmod 644ed the apk. I rebooted and still didnt show up.
How did I/do you get this to work?!
Not sure but if this belongs in General, feel free to move it. Thanks!
Anyone??? This is killin me
I can't answer your question but I do have another option, look in the market for "sense analog glass clock" there digital clock is awesome and can have alot more info displayed too.

Can some one point me to the HTC Default Theme/Scene? I installed the Elegancia Rom but HTC Default theme does not bring its wallpaper properly, when I tried to copy wall paper manually under /system/customize/resource and set HTC scene Sense fails and I have to delete HTC sense data from apps. So I am after its apk so I can replace it under system. What is its name and whether if I copy it from Deodexed 1.18 ROM, would it work?
My HTC One X+ is O2 UK branded and I was surprised to discover that many of the apps I have on the HTC One X are not available on this phone. Most are just bloatware but I miss one in particular which is the flash light app. Now I can get them also on the market, but the stock HTC flash light is the coolest and I was used to it.
Since I rooted both phones I thought I could simply copy the app from the HTC One X to the X+, well it does not work, it simply fails to install. I have even taken a copy from an online 4.2.2 deodex ROM with no luck.
First i copied both apk and odex files from a plain odexed HTC One X /system/app into the same on the X+ and it did not show, then I tried copying the apk into the sdcard and manually install it. Did not work either. So I copied the flashlight apk from a deodexed /system/app zip and put it into the sdcard, and this one too failed to install.
I was wondering if anyone could help me understand what am I doing wrong and why it does not work.
Thank you in advance.
All you need is the apk file

All you should need from the old ROM is the apk file, nothing else. It could be a possible hardware conflict, or signature conflict. What does the error say as to why it fails? Do you have installation of 3rd party apps blocked in the settings? Check that first, then copy the apk to your phone's storage, use a file browser & install the apk. It should work. If not post the error message here.
