Vanilla 2.2 Lockscreen with vibrate on new Leaked OTA 2.2 ROM

Twisted politiks · Jul 28, 2010

I have the new 2.2 ROM Leak installed on my phone atm, and I want to use the Froyo Vanilla Lock screen, where it has the unlock as well as the vibrate bars. I know that they have a 2.1 vanilla lock screen, but this is set to put the phone on silent, not vibrate. I was wondering how I could get a hold of the 2.2 vanilla lock screen. is it just an .apk that i could extract from cyanogen mod 6 from kouch? or is it more complicated than that?

any help would be great. thanks in advance

Just remove or rename /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk and /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex in recovery. Make sure your system partition is mounted first. If you do this, you will not be able to use the alarms until you get a vanilla Desk Clock installed.

Code:

adb shell
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
rm HtcLockScreen.odex

k ill give it a try. but with the 2.1 stock ROM when this was done it would show the vanilla lock screen, but it was really messed up. will update when i complete this

so i removed the .apk and it does work, but it still only has the option to either unlock the phone, or switch between silent and normal. is there a way to switch it to vibrate instead? and how would i get a vanilla Desk Clock onto it?

Edit: the Vanilla Desk Clock is actually there, no need to install anything extra. so all i am looking to change is the bar that switches between silent and normal to vibrate and normal

Edit Edit: Wow i feel like a noob. it works right out of the box this way. i was looking at the symbol and reading the text saying "sound is off" thinking it went straight to silent. but alas, it puts it on vibrate, so just uninstalling HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex works, as well as it shows the vanilla clock, whether or not the alarm clock works i dont know, as i dont use it as one.

feel free to delete this whole thread if you want, as i am a noob and was not paying attention to what was in front of me. thank you for the quick response though

While the vanilla lock screen works fine after removing those two files, the alarms are still messed up. The problem isn't that the alarm won't sound when set from the HTC clock app anymore (it does). The problem is that you cannot shut it off without also having the HTC Lock Screen, and it will just keep sounding until you reboot.

If you install a vanilla clock, than even with the vanilla lock screen you can have an alarm set that will correctly prompt you to dismiss or snooze when it sounds.

I am actually having some trouble finding the best/correct DeskClock.apk for us, as the first I found didn't even show up in the app drawer (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715208) and the second one I found, which works for alarms, has some messed up characters displaying below the time and the music button will cause a FC (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697491).

Could anyone who knows which is the most current and functional DeskClock.apk please link to it or perhaps even attach a copy?

You're telling me when you remove those apk's you get the Vanilla lock screen??

Can you post screenshots.

Imaulle · Jul 28, 2010

I can confirm it works.

Slide right to unlock, slide left turns on vibrate or turns sound back on.

i wish we could get the 2.0 lockscreen, that was the best! The dial lockscreen rocked.

Nevermind...

Install this and your alarm issues are SOLVED, I just tested it.

Now time to remove the old one. Be sure you set your alarm with THIS app if you decide to leave the HTC stuff on.

Code:

adb shell rm HtcLockScreen.apk rm HtcLockScreen.odex

When I do those commands, it tells me:

rm: can't remove 'HtcLockScreen.apk': No such file or directory

I shut down, booted into recovery, when to "partitions menu," mounted /system, plugged my phone into my computer, launced cmd, cd'd to sdk\tools, adb shell, "daemon started successfully," then I get that error.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help?
Thanks.

adb shell

then

rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.odex

rm /system/apps/HtcLockScreen.odex

Ahhh I wasn't doing the full path to the files!

OK, it still says it can't find the file. I must be doing something wrong.

I think that worked. I'm wondering if I may have booted into recovery before plugging my phone in last time. Would that have made a difference?

Edit: It worked!!! Thank you so much. I've wanted the vanilla lock screen for sooo long!

shoman24v · Jul 29, 2010

sorry I put /apps lol not /app

SifonX · Jul 29, 2010

Also important to note that if you started the adb shell prior to mounting /system you'll need to exit and do an adb remount for adb to be able to read/write.

jasonb1985 · Jul 29, 2010

so what happens when we get a phone call? is the the HTC lockscreen to answer or the vanilla lockscreen to answer?

gbenj · Jul 29, 2010

how do we get the original stuff back if we decide not to keep this?
