Hi. Is it possible to have default lollipop dialer and dialing screen instead of LG?
I suppose if you have a nandroid backup, you could take phone.apk and contacts.apk from one of the AOSP ROMs here, put them in your /system/priv folder, set perms to rw-r-r . Also, find the corresponding lg apks and rename them with a .bak extension and reboot. You could try that, and see what happens. Worst case, do a nandroid restore.

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.
So far, I've settled on Sense-Able as the ROM I like the best. I really don't like the dialer's theme though... Black text on blue gradient background isn't the most contrasting choice, IMO. I'm color-deficient with shades of darker colors too so that doesn't help.
How can un-theme this dialer ? I'm guessing that's not practical, so replacing the dialer is my next option (?). How do I do that ?
Download Dialer one off market its free. you can theme that. its awesome. I am using ivans. there is a thread someone made a zip that delete the old dialer and replaces with dialer one, its great
Deletes the HTC dialer?
No, based on what I read (likely the same thread), it doesn't delete it. People said that the HTC dialer still comes up after a call is placed, i.e. when you hit the "keypad" button so you can input numbers when prompted.
I do have Dialer One already. I have no general complaints about HTC's so I'd rather un-theme it or replace the Sense-Able version.
Have you tried pushing phone.apk and changing the permissions? I did this with a new rosie to an old version of aloysius and it worked fine after I changed the permissions with root explorer.
I've tried nothing. I don't have a clue where to start, hence my thread here.
Do you have root explorer? If so, make sure you have a nand before you experiment. What I did with my rosie was basically copy the new one to my sd card from my computer that I had earlier pulled from a new version from a rom. So, with the new version copied, open root explorer, copy the new phone.apk. navigate to your system/app and remove the old phone.apk and paste the new one. Long press new apk and open permissions. Set all that apply and then reboot when done.
If you dont have RE you can use adb shell. Same process really, push new apk to sdcard (can also be pushed from tools folder also). rm old apk from system/app. push new apk from sdcard or tools. next thing is the chmod command that I am not sure of. Something like adb shell chmod 755, but im not sure since I used RE. Hopefully someone else can chime in that knows this part.
I accidentally deleted the htc clock and i am having problems trying to get it back. I have pushed the apk with root explorer and adb, and i have tried it with and without the odex file. does any body know if there is another way besides flashing the rom, because the rom automatically wipes data
Push it then make sure you set the correct permissions then reboot the phone. Should be as simple as that. Make sure you push the .odex as well and that also has the correct permissions.

Someone with mini have to help you. But since no one replying, and to save your time from searching all over the web;
To know which apk that has been modified, open the mod that you have applied using archive apps (winrar should do if you are in windows) and see what apk is inside (generally it should be framework-res.apk and/or SystemUI.apk)
To revert back, one of the way is to extract that apk from stock fw file, copy to your /system/ then change permission rw-r--r-- (if you dont know what it means, just refer to any apk inside /system/app/ permission's, they are all the same generally for /system/app/ and /system/framework/ ). Then, move it to appropiate folder replacing the current file (SystemUI.apk into /system/app/ for example. Better to replace systemui.apk first before framework-res.apk to avoid unexpected fc in the process)
Once done, reboot.
Other ways, ask anyone to make cwm compatible zip file for you to revert back to original or wait for someone to post the apk's here for you.
Thats a very good lessons actually, do a backup first before doing/modifying anything. Dont just simply flash any zip file, see first whats inside, backup whatever files that is affected by that zip to your sdcard is the fastest way (but not 100% reliable compare to make a backup in cwm.
Anyhow, good luck. cheers fren.

i got it from a friend, thanks anyway.
Hey Guys,
I have been attempting to mod my framework-res.apk to try and add a percent battery icon (unsuccessfuly so far). Here is my issue, after finding that my modded framework file isnt working properly, I go to try and restore the original. After restoring the original I still get tons of FC's and the only way to get things back to normal is to restore my backup from CWM.
The method I am using to replace my framework-res.apk is to use a root explorer (ES File Manager) to copy the file to /system/ then from there I modify the permissions and then move the file to the framework folder, overwriting the existing file. After this, I reboot the phone.
My question is, why is my original framework-res.apk file causing force closes? It is starting to make me think that even my modded files are ok, but that the issue is arising in the manual transfer.
Sorry if the answer is posted elsewhere, I googled and was only finding issues with the apk not being compiled correctly, but that shouldnt be an issue with the original apk.
*EDIT* I figured it out. It appears it was because Jkay Deluxe was installed. I decided to reflash the rom and try with a fresh copy of the framework-res.apk and everything appears to be working now.
