Wipe caches, reflash the rom. That's probably easiest.

This is what I would recommend as well. Yes you may be able to just put the lock screen apk into your /system/app directory but libraries and such may be missing. Reflashing would be sure to give you everything you need.

I was being stupid messing around in the /system/app folder and I deleted the default clock/weather widget that comes preinstalled! Anyone know how I can get it back without me having to reflash my rom? I have the .apk and .odex files on my storage but I can't reinstall it with any apps from the market? I SHOULD HAVE MADE A BACKUP BEFOREHAND!

Buy Root Explorer from the market, copy the files back into /system/app. Change permissions back to match other files in that directory (should be rw-r-r) and restart your phone. If you are Unlocked w/ HTC, rooted, and have a custom recovery you could always flash THE EXACT SAME ROM directly over the top without wiping Data. I would still wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache to be safe, and this will revert any other changes you've made to the ROM but it should be pretty simple to do.

If you are going to mess around in the Read Only parts of the phone this is the only smart thing to do.

Hello,
I'm running ViperRez for about a week now and haven't had a problem. Tonight, I attended a concert and switched to the extended battery so it would survive the night and noticed on the drive home that when I attempt to open my settings and get an "Application is not Installed" message when I attempt to do so. I've tried google for help to no avail and am out of ideas so anything you guys can think of would be super appreciated.
Thanks!
If someone could dig out the settings.apk from that ROM then you could try to install it.

Try installing this.
I had that problem on a different Rom. my problem was that it was disabled.. How that happened, I don't know.

Try dirty flashing the Rom. Or using a root browser navigate to your Rom zip and go to /system/apps and find the settings apk. Extract the APK and try installing.

I was able to find the apk in the zip and extracted it, but it won't install. as for dirty flashing, I can't say I'm familiar with how to do that :/

a dirty flash is when you flash without wiping. by dirty flashing viper youll install everything OVER everything else instead of fresh. and the part your wanting is the settengs.apk to be reinstalled.. you might have accidentally bloated it out, with some kind of uninstaller. or put graywolfs apk on your sd and use a file explorer to find it and install?

so your not able to install the apk and the dirty flash didnt install it.. huh.. id sync all your contacts with google. put everything you want saved on your ext sd(pics, music, etc.) and re-download the rom check your md5 and flash it clean from the begining wipe everything like three times.. factory data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, boot, and system. im assuming your using the stock kernel?

pretty sure I'm still on the stock kernel unless ViperRez changed that which I don't think it did

nope still same. you can try vinylfreaks kernel it works for s-on after you start fresh. it runs cooler. with a bit better battery life. hope you can get you problem fixed
So almost all of the ROM listed require a factory reset, data wipe, cache clear, but the thing that's confusing me is when I do that it deletes the ROM I'm trying to flash from recovery. So I have to boot back into the newly wiped ROM, download the new one, boot back into recovery and THEN flash. So, is this still considered a dirty flash? How do I avoid this without there being an additional SD slot?
Factory reset won't wipe your data. Where are you storing the file?

The ROMs are always in the /sd/downloads folder. But like I said, after I wipe, it's gone. I should mention that I also do a format, as per the instructions.

it shouldn't be gone
I agree. As long as I skip the format part it stays there. So I'll continue doing so until I begin having issues.

I am on UKB and wanted to revert to the regular lockscreen and wanted to see if there was a flashable zip to do so without reinstalling the entire rom.

thats it,,,,, i didnt make it but found it
hit mine and his thanks button
I'm not sure that will work. It's a zip made for an HTC Hero which was Sense 1.5(??). If it does, let me know but I think HTC made a lot of changes to Sense in the past three years...
edit: just for the sake of being helpful, I tried pulling all the "IdleScreen_*.apk"s out from a fully Sensed version and pushed them back to /system/app/ and no worky.. will continue to tinker...

You could just dirty flash UKB and select the stock lock screen.

If you select the stock lockscreen in aroma, it will over-write the AOSP variants for phone, contacts, calendar, etc. with the Sense ones...
So far the only way I can figure a way around that is to 'adb shell su' into the phone and type:
mkdir /storage/sdcard0/aosp
cp /system/app/phone.apk /storage/sdcard0/aosp/.
and replace "phone.apk" with each apk you are wanting to replace after you dirty flash. after the flash, just move the apks from the aosp directory into the /system/app folder and reboot.
I haven't tested this yet, since i'm still with the aosp lockscreen, but it should work.
Before I install a new ROM I always do a back up in recovery before I install the new ROM. Then I wipe everything before flashing the new ROM. Then I install the ROM. Then I do a restore of only the data from my back up. This reinstalls all of my apps and all of my account data. When I restore I simply uncheck boot and system and let the restore only be the data from my back up. This is a fast easy way rather than using titanium back up or similar. I'm not sure if this can be done going from sense to aosp. But I don't see why it would be a problem. Hope this helps some of you out there. I always wipe dalvik and cache between everything I do.

From all I've ever read, yes, it would be a problem going from sense to AOSP, but I must admit I've never personally tried. I guess it (this method) wouldn't try to restore any sense apps, as they would be on the system/app partition, not /data.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Depends, if it just restores data than I think not? Then again if your only trying to restore apps that be on data/app hmm. Test and find out? I wanna know! And stuck deep in the south horrid 3g and no additional rims in storage.

Honestly the best way to restore accounts apps and data is to do a back-up then after you flash your new rom is to restore data from your back up with twrp. Then everything is done. Just uncheck boot and system from your back up. Very fast and simple. This can be done from sense to sense. And aosp to aosp or aokp.

If you mean system data then I've tried that coming from AOKP back to sense and it'll say "a reboot is required for changes to take affect" but it'll send you into a boot loop. Believe me I've hardbricked 2 EvoLTEs
