Is there anyway to change the call lock screen from what I have below?
Certain ROMs will change the call screen. Do you have root on your phone?
Yep (10chars).
would there be any way to change the way you answer the phone without root? my phone keeps answering itself in my pocket

You have to find the apk files to replace the HTClockscreen.apk (do not remove it until you have a replacement lockscreen.apk file. technically you could probably pull one off from another ROM that you like and copy it onto your /system/app location and that might work... but be careful and do a nandbackup before you start experimenting.

While it is true that you can replace your lockscreen, the call lockscreen is in the phone.apk, and you either choose between the HTC screen (on Sense roms) or the Android lockscreen (on CM and AOSP roms).
One solution that I have adapted is to put the phone "top-down" in my pocket (the usb plug points up) that way, even if it does rub during extraction, it's going opposite direction to answer the call.
what exactly are you trying to change? i have mine setup like Senseable's... the screen shot you posted is the sense call-lock screen.
the actual files are located in the com.htc.resources.apk (in the \res\drawable-mdpi folder)
you can change the files in the apk... and push it back over your current file.
the lock arc screen files are named:
lockscreen_arc.png
lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png
lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png
i'm pretty sure you can find a flashable version around here somewhere too.
Any here that can pull the framework-res.apk from their phone and post it here? I wanna chamge some color tones on my missy's phone in the weekend here where she is gone, and offcause she took the phone with her before i had a chance to pull the file myself..
Any that can help?
For the mini or the mini pro?
Here's at least the one for Mini Pro: mediafire.com/?48w5y9d7sj2pxa8
Would be really nice if you could share the result with us as well (or at least let us know if it worked).
It is actually for the X10 Mini, not the pro i need, but ill look into the file and see if they are compatible..
Basicly, the easy way to get the blue menu away is simply make a script in Photoshop that desaturate the pictures. They will get a nice gray look with a simple click.. Ill try making that and repost the file.
What ive been reading, but not tested myself yet, is that you edit the pictures to what ever you feel they should look without changing size X by Y and merge them back into the apk with winzip, winrar, b2z or whatever you are using to look into the apk with. Then you don't need to sign the file again and you can push it back to your phone..
Ill keep you posted.. Thanks again for the file..
Meep meep..
You must have root on your phone and you use this at your own risk. The file is for X10 Mini Pro. No idea if it works on non pro...
So, i pulled the blue colors from all the pictures.
Make a backup of the /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your device first..
The files are back in the apk and should be uploaded to your /system/framework folder on your phone.
Change permissions on the file to 755 and reboot your device.
Sould now all be gray instead of blue..

Let me know of your experiences..

Here it is, firmware is E10i 1.6 1.0.A.1.37 (X10 mini black)
Could you port the linked theme I mentioned in gray theme thread ?
I can upload rest of themed files i.e. Contacts,Calendar,Messaging etc.
P.S. not much reason backing up original file if you gonna try changing it. If file won't work you will end up with sony-ericsson white writting on the screen and you should flash with Windows SE Update Service (press home+back together, than power button when asked to connect phone). Titanium backup is the way to restore settings.
Changing file back won't be possible cause "su" crashes in this mode, so /system is not re-mountable and thus u can't copy original file back.
Still, flashing takes less than a minute, and its quite safe to try themes.

But if it works and you still want to change back it would probably be nice to have the original file.
What I want to do is edit the build.prop file from one rom so that I could add it to another that I want flash. The reason is that I get great signal from eugene373's Vibrant 6 at least 3 bars and at least 100 kb/s down. I know that does not seem like a lot but where I live I am happy. I also want to pull the ril files and push them to another rom. I have tried ADB push and pull for the ril files without any luck, and also have edited the build.prop in the new rom to match that of Vibrant 6 but when I use root explorer the build.prop file is still the same. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

all i've done is take the Call of Android bootanimation.zip, changed color to green, resized to fit screen and optimized for small size. i'm a noob so don't know yet how to make this flashable but there is some great info out there, if needed.
i tried uploading zip directly but was a bit too big so here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?p77y8rc07gvw426
use ADB. get to your tools folder the push it to /system/customize/resource/ then reboot.
I tried to decompile, modify 1 xml file and recompile the framework-res.apk.
But everytime I do it, I either get into a boot loop, or when In succeed it displays glitches (like notification bar, and messed up lock screen, and settings)
This is for AURORA ICS 4.0.3 and I do have the latest aapt.exe file .. so I don't know what is wrong!
I tried to use the original framework-res but replace the resources file inside, stored and compressed methods.
Tried to get the compiled framework-res but add the META-INF and Manifest file (again, both with compressed and stored resources file) and always.. it just glitches or bootloops.. and the mod that I tried (ICS on screen buttons or the CRT effect when you switch off the screen, mainly used in Oxygen roms, but it's available in all ROMs).. it never works.. only glitches the lock screen, notification bar etc..
Any help?
Thanks.
I might know the answer to this..
Which files are you modifying in framework-res? And how are you pushing it back to your phone?

Would be great
I am modifying some files in the values folder, bools.xml, arrays.xml .. but even if I edit bools.xml alone, it still glitches.
To push it back: I go to recovery mode on my phone, plug it into my linux machine (the system partition mounts), paste the new framework-res.apk to replace the old one, fix permissions (otherwise it boot loops), and restart the phone. This method works for other files and never had any problems, like the android.policy.jar
Would be great if you can help me. Thanks
Well, the XML files you're editing are all part of resources.arsc so it's something to do with that which is causing the problem. I used to get all sorts of annoying bugs when I edited anything in resources.arsc and I eventually found out that I was pushing the final apk back to the phone incorrectly.
I use a Windows PC, not Linux, so I might not be that helpful but this is what I do to modify and replace framework-res.apk. Hopefully it'll help. What I do is..
Decompile framework-res.apk
Make my changes
Recompile the file
Use a program like 7zip to open the old and the new files
Drag and drop the "res" folder from the new file into the old
Extract resources.arsc from the new framework-res.apk and add it to the old one in "STORE" mode, so it's not actually compressed
Go into recovery, mount the system partition and push the old file
..and that's it. Works a charm every time.
I would have thought that you would need to do the same thing on Linux but with the additional step of correcting the permissions. If you do all that and it still doesn't work, then there has to be a problem with the actual mod you're trying to do.
Thank you very much, I actually tried that method. It sort of worked, but everytime it breaks the notification bar. It becomes like double the size and I'm not sure why.
Thanks.
Then the issue must be with the modification itself. What exactly are you changing to what?

I tried different ones.. but even a simple one.. enable CRT animation.. which is pretty much open bools.xml and edit one true to false.. it breaks it :/
