Ok, I have been trying for a while now to change the HTC lock rings and there is a really cool thread on here by mohit1234: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262990, anyway it has a heap of lock rings. Originally I could not put them on as he made them for a different phone model. So then I uploaded my fusion.apk and sent it to him. He made me custom lock rings with both the Earth and the Captain America Shield. So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". But whenever I try to copy it the phone either crashes and restarts or says copy succesful and nothing happens. This also happens when I copy a droidsansfallback.ttf (modded with the emoji icons). But the font works when it says successful. Does anyone know what is happening? Mohit1234 also suggested to push using adb, would this help at all?
Do you have flar2's remove system write protection kernel mod installed and loaded?

No, I don't. How would I go about installing such a thing? Is that why the font keeps reverting every half hour?

You can find it here.
Without that patch, you can't muck about with /system
Total Crashing
Ok, I flashed a zip designed for my phone with the kernel you suggested, and my phone crashed twice (again) when copying the fusion.apk and the droidsansfallback.ttf doesn't even work when I copy it any more. Also when I plug it into my PC and choose "mount as hard disk" my phone crashes and reboots. So I am thinking I should just start again. I think I am going to flash hasoon200's "stock, rooted, deodexed" ROM.
I have tried to install this thing like 4 times, it is in my /system/lib/modules but I can't get it working. I have tried copying droidsansfllback.ttf modded with emoji into the /systom/fonts folder but when I restart it is reverted back to the old one. And seeing as I am new to this I can't decipher the instructions on how to install this.

Listen all you need to do is
Extract the fusion.apk from his zip and paste it manually using aroma file manager.
I did it using aroma and now you can see my lockscreen.

I have tried this using both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". Anyway where could I download aroma? I looked for it on Google Play but couldn't find it. If I find it I will try it, and yes I have extracted the zip and tried to copy it that way.
EDIT:
I installed Aroma, all went well with that and I copied fusion.apk as told to the /system/apps directory and bam when I restarted nothing happened, still stock ring. Can you send me the fusion.apk you used so I can try that, it would be greatly appreciated

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.

Ok, aroma does work (I tried it with an emoji modded droidsansfallback.ttf) so that means that the fusion.apk is stuffed up. I have downloaded a desire x system dump and I am going to ask the guy to try and do it to that fusion.apk, thanks for the help everyone

Check your PM... I post a modded zip for you.
It's nothing wrong with the zip file that you posted. It flashed ok on my ROM
Your problem I guess is due to the stock ROM that you have where you do not have busybox installed.
So I mod the updater-script so it can be installed without busy box.

Droid Explorer.
And how does one get it back? I tryed it and got the Android default lockscreen but did not like it. I want the HTC one back. I made a backup of the file and copied it back, rebooted but still im on the android lockscreen. I had to chmod 777 the file to delete it. Do i have to chmod it back to whatever it was? and in that case what was it hehe
I'm using Droid Explorer with Froyostone V1 on my HD2; can't seem to delete the file? No error message but just stays in the directory. Any ideas?
Ok, post above with CHMOD set me searching, and figured out how to open the unix terminal in Droid Explorer and I entered "CHMOD 777 /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk" and enter, and then closed the terminal window, but still won't delete...sorry but used to playing around in Windows and have to admit this is the first time I've seen a Unix terminal...
How do you guys delete the File from there?
I've tried several times but it fail every time...
You have to use a rootexplorer and mount the System as read write able.
Subfs App can do this.

I don't know. The problem is that you need write access to the system folder to remove or rename the file. I use normaly the App SUBFS it is a rootexplorer. The best is to search the market for a rootexplorer.
Cool, that was easier; didn't find SUBFS but the app I did find worked a treat (AndroidMate). Thanks...

Just be aware that if you delete HtcLockScreen.apk (renaming it will work as well) you will loose the ability to turn off your alarm if it fires up. The alarm set in HTC alarm app expect HTC Lockscreen to turn it off!
To have the original lockscreen and still be able to have alarms you need to use the original clock app. You can find it somewhere on the forum - once installed you can and probably should delete HTCWorldClock.apk.

Worked for me running [UPDATE][BUILD]25.09.10|Mdeejay FroYo Sense v. 2.3|2.10.405.2|[kernel: michyprima R0].
I find the HTC Lock screen has a nasty habit of unlocking before I get the phone out of my pocket wearing jeans or trousers. Well ... really it is me pressing a button and my fingers sliding vertically on the phone as I removed it This trick of deleting the package works a treat!

For anyone wondering how to replace your bootanimation, just mount your system partition either with Clockwork Recovery or root explorer and push a bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
Here are a couple you can use:
My Evo 4g Bootanimation Thread - Sorry some say Evo 4g.
SamJamz BootAnimation Thread
Basically any bootanimation from a phone that is 480x800 should fit just fine.

Do you push the file while in recovery mode? Kinda confused about that part.
Edit: Got it, yep, you have to be in recovery to accomplish this.
Can this be done on non rooted phones? I know it was done on the nexus

Our phones are a little bit different... our bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource and renamed bootanimation.zip to TMUS_bootanimation.zip I did all this thru root explorer no adb required!
just incase, I also copied the original file I was replacing to my sdcard (if ever I wanted to go back)
Hope this helps
Here's one of my favs, R2d2 boot animation. It's already named correctly, just use root explorer, and make sure the permission is right. Ahh, can't upload zip from the app, I will when I get to my cpu
Thanks for this!
I now have a sweet Android (Cyanogen theme - in prep for CM release ) boot animation in place of the lame stock "my" scribble.
Now all I'd like to do for boot is change the stock splash screen. I've found one to use, but the instructions for applying are for the Evo and not sure I want to risk jacking something up if it's not right. It states to use fastboot to flash the splash screen onto the phone, replacing the stock. To those who know - does that sound right? Where is the stock splash located so I can back it up to my sdcard first?
Any pointers appreciated!
it looks like it u have to be permarooted for the changes to stick :-\
can anyone else confirm??

I am also in root explorer and went thru the needed folders till I got to bootanimation folder. How do you paste the renamed animation into that folder? (don't want to screw it up) copy from my sd card and paste it into the folder? Do i paste it into the folder and then tap on (mount rw)? Or do I tap on (mount rw) then hit paste.

It's the NFC notification.
You can turn NFC off in settings and the notification goes away. Just turn it on when you want to use it.

I had several phones with NFC and none of them showed this ugly symbol. Must be a HTC thing. The worst is that Google Wallet is anyway deactivated by AT&T. So it is pretty useless except for exchanging data with Google beam.
Does anyone know how to remove the icon from the status bar without disabling NFC?
I found a thread about disabling it on the Galaxy Note II, but it doesn't work for the One X+.
This is what you do on the Note:
"This can be edited in the feature.xml file (located in "/system/csc/feature.xml") under the NFC the Statusbaricontype should be changed from ATT to none."
Perhaps there's a similar method for us.

The process isn't exactly similar, but the icon can indeed be replaced. The icon is found in the Nfc.apk package in /system/apps. Open Nfc.apk with the archive manager of your choice and replace the stat_sys_nfc_vzw.png file located in res/drawable-hdpi with an icon that is a bit more pleasing to the eye (I've opted for a transparent image myself). I've attached my modified Nfc.apk; it is from an AT&T HOX+ so I can only recommend using it with that variant (but who knows!).

You can either use adb and the push command. Or you can use a file explorer, delete the original first, then copy the new one over. Finally set it's permissions to rwx-rxx-rxx.

Hmm...I'm using Root Browser Lite (I currently don't have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed). I deleted the original Nfc.apk, and it seems to have removed the app from the phone (or uninstalled it, I suppose), however the original .apk still appears in the /system/app/ directory according to both Root Browser Lite and OI File Manager. Furthermore, when I try to copy the modified Nfc.apk, I get a message saying that a file by that name already exists, so I just ask the phone to overwrite the existing file. It starts thinking about it for a minute or two, then says that the operation failed.
As it stands, I have the original file in the original location,albeit unistalled and no way to install it, as I get the "App was not installed" Message when I try to install it.
This may be a dumb question, but am I able to use the Terminal Emulator app to issue the adb command you suggested? If not, Do you have any other suggestions to get me out of this hole I've dug myself into?
Edit: I've succesfully moved the edited file to the correct location!!! I used ES File Explorer. However....I still can't install. I've done everything including changing the permsissions....it just won't install.
Thanks ahead of time!

System apps are not meant to be installed like regular apks, just reboot the phone and the changes in the new apk should take effect (when you turn NFC on no icon should appear).

I've done both of those things now, and still the NFC options don't show up in the menu. It makes the menu look rather lonely.
Just wondering if any further developments have been made regarding this issue. It makes me sad every time I think about how my phone is probably one of the only HOX+s out there that's incapable of using its NFC hardware.

My question is, how do you go about flashing it and replacing the stock app?
I'm runing a rooted HTC One X+, with the stock OS.

Is your One X+ an AT&T version? If it is, how did you root it? I have the phone, and I already unlocked the boot loader, but I can't find a way to root.

That's the easiest way to go about it.
I hope it helps.
P.S. I personally don't mind, but you should probably start with the search bar, otherwise you may end up getting berated by other forum users.

Just wondering if any further developments have been made regarding this issue. It makes me sad every time I think about how my phone is probably one of the only HOX+s out there that's incapable of using its NFC hardware.

Here are the original apk and odex files if you want to give them a try (just to get functional NFC back for when you need it).
Edit: xda tells me the odex is an invalid file, here's a dropbox link instead https://www.dropbox.com/s/cpb87mar7eipjdd/Nfc.odex

I very much appreciate the sentiment! I, however was sure to leave a copy, untouched, of the original .apk and .odex on my sd card.
I did indeed try the copies you provided to no avail.
A reflash is looking more and more imminent...
Firstly, thanks to ayyu3m and others too for the initial test.
Just install widget apks as how you install a normal apk.
All the 11 additional widgets attached
Thanks to ayyu3m and nlooooo for the screenshots
Unable to install.

Before I start to upload all other htc widgets which is not in Desire X stock ROM, can someone test this one first.
Just install it as how you install a normal apk and advise if it working as it should.
If it works, I will upload more Htc widgets.

Application Not Installed
I wonder why
Ahh... maybe it need to be re-signed to install as normal apk.
Please retry as I uploaded a re-signed apk.

Needs to be installed a system app make a flashable zip and flash through CWM

That's for unsigned apk.
This is a re-signed apk, can be installed on unrooted stock ROM or rooted ROM.
Still nothing. Manual is on point, it needs to be put on system partition.
This was downloaded from HTC HUB, so if it get installed after resigned, and you can't see the widget in the widget list, my guess is it may not work for Sense 4.1 lite.
INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE
You can't install it when it's not signed with an HTC certificate.

Ahh..ok... nothing much I can do here to help; unless someone know how to make this widget installable on unrooted DX then I can provide total of 11 additional widgets.
I decompiled the APK, removed the shared uid part, compiled it, pushed it to /system/app and the widget didn't show up. I signed it with my own certificate, pushed it to /system/app and still no luck.
Use a flashable zip

Use CWM because the Desire X does not allow you to touch the System Partition using a ROOT explorer even with Root Explorer

There's an app called Aroma File Manager made by Amarullz, it is made to be used from recovery as a flashable zip, you just start it like you flash a zip from sd card. Maybe that can be used if there's a problem making flashable zip.

Sorry, didn't mention it but I used ADB in recovery. I think I've gotten used to it, so I don't say it anymore.
I personally hate flashable ZIPs, I'd rather do it manually.
What about the version code and version name in AndroidManifest.xml
I have edited a few and will let you all know in a while
Is this the widget you guys are looking for? (left)

Can you retest the one that I re-uploaded on OP ? It's the same one that you tested in PM; just to make sure again it does work.
Hi
I have this problem with my friends galaxy ace GT-S5839i:
I need someone to help me here because I don't know what to do
I pulled the file framework-res.apk from system and then changed the extension to zip, and changed an image inside one of the folders.
After that I zipped the pack again (tried several zip options) and changed the extension back to apk
My first question: Is this ok?
I copied the changed file to sdcard and using es explorer moved the file to system/framework. Imediately After answering if I wanted to overwrite the phone freezes and never booted again.
I restored the rom and tried several times with same result
I tought the problem would be trying to overwrite a file that's in use but then I found a tool the decompiled the original apk, changed the image, compiled and signed it and made a flashable zip of it.
It gsve always error in trying to flash this on recovery so I extrated the compiled and signed new framwork apk and moved it to system with es explorer... The difference now is that it didn't froze the phone but started to show fc's everywhere. Rebooted, wipede cash and dalvik, messed up woth permissions... Everything I could think of and the result os always tbe same...
Please can amyone share a light here?
Thanks

Ok
I'm gonna look into it, thanks
Edit: Nothing I found there worked...
The only solution was install a different rom (previously had a stock rooted 2.3.6) v4.1
Changed the framework file from the rom and flashed it...
Its working now but still don't know why the previous actions didn't work
Thanks
