[ROOT] How to remove lock screen ads

[Dassen]

both methods require a root explorer.

Method 1:
navigate to the system folder
find "App" folder
Change the name of "dtcp_apk.apk" to dtcp_apk.bat

Method 2:
Navigate to system folder
find "App" folder
change permissions of Dtcp_apk.apk to all blank

Hope this helped someone.

I tried both without success.. What explorer are you using? I tried with ES and got an error "the operation failed".. and I couldnt change permissions neither

thanks for any help

Are you rooted?

I supposed to. I rooted my device to install google play.. but I dont know if I continue been root.. I checked my permissions on system\app and I only have readable..

Could you explain me how to check if I am root, and if not, how to be root again to apply your process?

Thanks for your help

You go to the setting of ES,then at the bottom of setting menu, it has Root setting. Go there and checked all check boxes. If you can, that's mean your KF is rooted.

Adding a Boot Animation

Thanks for this info. I used the 2nd method and it worked immediately. Are there Boot Animations for the KFHD? Or can Boot Animations from, say my LG ICS Spectrum work?

if you have adb available, you should be able to do this without a root explorer.
use one of the following codes:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/app/dtcp_apk.apk /system/app/dtcp_apk.apk.bak
exit
exit

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 000 /system/app/dtcp_apk.apk
exit
exit

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/dtcp_apk.apk
exit
exit

The first one will rename it. The second one will clear its permissions. The third one will remove it completely.
It should go without saying, but its not my fault if you screw something up, or if it is necessary to have this apk in your system, and you use the third method. I haven't tried it, but it should work. I do know what the commands do.

Didn't also work for me with es file explorer the first time i've tried it, although i've enabled all root options.
Rebooting the device helped me, but it's also important to make sure that you give the explorer the permission to change system data

Method 1 working

I tried it just out of curiosity and it worked right away. Using ES explorer, BTW.
Thanks!

Thank you so much!!! Method 1 worked great. Also renamed the odex file to .odex.bat through root explorer. Note, in root explorer you will probably have to push the little 'Mount R/W" button once you get into system/app
