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.

So I've been looking for a way to get the stock apps for calculator, calender, and alarm clock back onto my vibrant which is now running the vibrant6 rom from eugene...
So far I've seen suggested that we tear apart anomalous's deodexed rom and push the files through adb but I have a horrible 3g connection and it already took me forever to download the vibe 5 and 6 roms and don't want anything else from that rom just the .apks for these apps.
Also do they have to be pushed using adb or terminal or can I just use astro if I have it with rw permission to the /system /data folders n whatnot?
Either way I was hoping someone could post up on here some of these and other stock touchwiz apps for easy dl and reinstallation as I know much more than just myself have been looking for these apps to bring back to our modded roms.
Much thanks to all that could help with this

I would think it'd be as easy as pushing the apks that came with the stock vibrant rom to the current one you right now.

The issue is even if I go all the way back to my old rom through a nand backup you can't grab a back up as a simple apk through titanium and I'm unsure which files i could possibly manually back up to my sd using some sort off root explorer....
Thus my asking if anyone had these apks or files with a method of transferring them where they are needed... I know more then one person is looking for something like this

You must use adb or root explorer to "install" them. You cant just install them like a regular apk.
ADB:
adb push whatever.apk /system/app/ (do the same with the .odex file)
Root explorer:
Just copy the files from your sd to the system folder and reboot.

Old thread resurrected!
environment: Vibrant rooted w/ Eugene's Gingerclone Final R2
I'm a lil new to replacing system apps, but I read up on this and by all accounts, it should have worked.
Using adb to push the files previously linked to /system/app then rebooting yielded the existing (AOSP?) Calendar still being installed/displayed/used.
Noticed the pushed files had different names.
Renamed source files to match target files and re-pushed. Rebooted. Calendar no longer shows up in application listing.
Used Root Explorer to locate files in /system/app (currently mounted r/w) and tried to install the .apk's; installation ends with msg "Application not installed" with a "done" button to click.
used adb shell to rm the existing Calendar.apk and Calendar.odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.odex/.apk and TouchWizCalendar.odex.apk and adb reboot.
pushed TouchWizCalendarProver.odex/.apk & TouchWizCalendar.odex/.apk to /sdcard; launched Root Explorer, copied all 4 files to /system/app/ and rebooted.
No "Calendar" or "TouchWizCalendar" or "TWCalendar" etc etc in applications list.
Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/app/ and try to install said applications and result says "Application Not Installed"
Any help is appreciated.
Does anyone have the Memo app?
Flashed nero v3 and it didnt have it!
Also, i had some important info in there. Will it be there when i push the apk to the sysytem/app folder? My sd card still has everything from before I flashed.
thanks
the memo app is awesome

basically I have an email.apk that is used on the tab that I want to load and use on my phone. What is the best way to do that. This is something I have not done yet so detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated. Or atleast point me to a thread that has detailed instructions. I here I can ADB push which I have never done. I also have heard I can install the .apk to my phone and use a application like file manager to open and load it to my phone?? does that make sense?? IDK. any instructions would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
Get the paid version of Root Explorer.
Copy the Email.apk to you phone. Internal or External sd is fine.
Launch Root Explorer. Open the System folder, then the App folder, find your current Email.apk and longpress on it to move it to your External sd as a backup.
Navigate to your new Email.apk. Longpress o. It and move it into System/App folder.
Longpress on it, select Permissions, and leave read and write only checked on the first row, and only read on the other 2 rows.

awesome!! thanks!! Do I have to use root explorer or can I use something else like super manager??
I honestly don't know. I figured Root Explorer was one of those apps where it's worth it to buy for all its usefulness.
It probably can't hurt to try. As long as another app can move files to and from the system/app folder and change the permissions, it should work.

Somehow I messed up my stock browser. I upgraded the stock browser with GSG tools and now its FC’ing on me. It aint working on bionix v 1.3.1 anymore…. Is there a way I can reinstall a fresh copy of stock browser.
While searching, I found system dump for vibrant posted by wesgarner
HERE
I pulled the browser.apk file and installed the stock browser.It installed correctly but Now I cant find it on my phone. There is also a browser.odex file. Im wondering If I need to install that too in order for stock browser to work. Im a noob and not so technicaly
Can someone help me on this.. thanks...
p.s
Just flashed bionix V 1.3.1 and I don’t wanna flash it one more time. Because I just spent a lot of time restoring my home screens and other settings manually.
Would appreciate it much.

Open root expolrer long press browser.apk and then click permissions and check all under boxes under read (the collum to the left) and the very top box under write. uncheck all the other boxes it should look like a knight's move in chess. Then reboot
If that doesn't work work extract the browser.apk from the bionix zip it should be under /system/app and do the same thing
If that doesn't work then the only thing I can think of is to install a 3rd party browser or reflash

Default launcher is touchwiz, but it only works at 240 DIP, use Nova or Apex launcher from market if you prefer other densities.
Softkeys are included by default. They can be deactivated by moving local.prop (using a root browser) from /data folder to anywhere on sd and rebooting. I think its easier this way, If you want it back, put it back
Version 1.1
Google Now included, see parent thread for changelog.
Folder name is called ics. Softkeys not included by default. Will tidy this post up a bit tomorrow and add mirror.

Unzip the file which contains the "local.prop" file and place it on your sdcard. Then use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to place the file in the /data folder.
I am trying this rom, it seems all working well, it´s just a bit "naked" because the lack of ringtones and background pictures but I can´t find Radio FM app, where it is, please?
It´s more important to me than softkeys.

Agree, in touchwiz long press on blank screen area allows you to change homescreen but not lockscreen (no options) and only 1 live wallpaper option for both. Try another launcher.

you just need to put the local.prop file into /data folder using a root enabled browser and reboot. The data folder is not on your sdcard but at the root (home icon on some browsers) of the android build.

3. Grab the all for whatever you want from wherever you have it, and just copy it into you /system/app/ folder
4. Re-name the "Launcher.apk" application in the /system/app/ to "Launcher1.apk"
5. Voila you can now use any launcher in the system app folder-->note you may need to reboot

There is no need to rename the launcher.apk. After another launcher is installed you will be given the choice of which launcher you want to set as default, you can change back to stock launcher by clearing the defaults of the custom launcher. Better to not change system files if you dont have to. After you move the new launcher to system/app folder change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Alright,
1st, device spoofer will cause BOOTLOOPS!!!! so don't buy!
(I learned this the hard way)
so this isn't really a mod but if you boot-looped your device by messing with build.prop than here is a quick fix:
1.Make sure you have adb set up nice for your fire by following the amazon developers @ https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/getting-started.html AND that you have the orignal build.prop file
Make sure you read the entire page verbatim, especially if your a mac user, because all the answers are either on the page or in the links
2.You either will need to have temp root or have already been rooted.
3. Make sure the device is actually reaching adb, check this by waiting until the sparkly kindle fire logo comes up, and then doing adb devices
4. Down to Business: Turn on the fire and wait until you reach sparkly kindle fire logo.
5.Navigate to platform-tools folder and place your original build.prop file there
6.type
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
reboot
7. If you already kept a backup of the original build.prop file on the device, than change the mv line to
Code:
mv /system/build.prop.bak /system/build.prop
-->and there ya go, post if you have problems

Download a launcher from the play store
With a file manager move the apk from /data/app/ folder (It will be named differently than you are used to, usually has the company or developers name instead) to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
No need to change permissions as they are the same coming from /data/app/ folder

Are there any alternates to the soft button bar like a stock jb one or something? Or can we not do that because of the odex? I know it's systemui.apk I tried installing a cm9 systemui.apk on my kf2 and system/app rwrr but on reboot all I got was black screen. I backed it up and restored it with adb so I know what i'm doing... for the most part. Sorry for an y random spaces or periods... swype doesn't like furious tapping on the kf2. Needless to say, I have swype as default keyboard and launcher pro as launcher.
Well, I tried the same wpthing with a similar result. My best guess is that it works off of framework res so...until there are custom ROMs we have to wait. But, I've been toying with an idea: if the favorite button on the saftbar was rewritten to display recent apps, e.g. that it always displays 8 apps from data list x, and data list x is a list constantly updated saying the most recent app. Then the app could be themed minorly to have the window over window PNG and voila: a little bit better stock ROM. My problem is that I'm not a coder of any kind, so its a slow process.

Has anyone figured out or tried to replace or disable stock search and get Google search to work. I've tried a few things with no luck. I would also like Google now.
For Google search, it's really tedious.
For it to work you have to rename the stock search to iforgothenameofit.apk.bak
Than you have to grab the Google search app from jelly bean gapps via goo.I'm, and push it to the system/app folder with permissions rw-r--r--
Than you have to push all the framework files, permission files, basically any other non-apk file to the folder of which it belongs.(you can get this from the whole zip file that you got from goo.I'm
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY FILE YOU PUT IN THE SYSTEM DIRECTORY HAD PERMISSION RW-R--R--
