[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] palosjr:
There was an older thread started by johnnylicious and I am going to be starting a new one that has the new files to skin/theme the lockscreen, phone, htccontacts, and Rosie. for the lockscreen the credits go to goldenarmz.

He created the batch file, I just edited the apk and the png files in there to make it work on the new roms.

BEFORE GOING ANY FARTHER, YOU NEED ADB OR YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DROP INTO RECOVERY CONSOLE OR RUN COMMANDS IN TERMINAL. If you do not have it, stop, go to the stickies, get it going and then come back here. do not junk this up with questions that you can search for.

"what is adb" - part of the SDK. it is a huge help, check out the stickies to get it.

"how do i get adb" - go to the stickies

"can i run this without root" - no

"can i run this on cyanogen" - no, this is for hero roms

"will you make this for non-rooted phones" - no, not possible.

Before doing any modifications to anything on ANY rom do a switchrom save or a nandroid backup.

DISCLAIMER- I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone, as the screenshots show, it works for me but that does not mean it will work for you. I will be glad to help if you run into problems.

These files have been tested are on working on the newest jacxhero builds from 1.8 on up so far. they should work on most of the other roms as well since they are all using jacxski newest kernel. enjoy.

credits to go goldenarmz for the lockscreen .bat file. if you seek credits just ask, i will be glad to give credit where necessary ;)

-Clean up Hero-

Before doing any modifications to anything on ANY rom do a switchrom save or a nandroid backup.

Since I started running hero roms, i have come to realize that most of the stuff is junk and is not needed. Thus, I have removed many widgets, and many extra .apks that i do not use such as quickoffice, pdfviewer, java, flash, photo album widget, weather widget, music widget, contacts widget, messages widget, mail widgets. I am going to post the commands you can run in ADB to remove these items and speed up hero a little bit. rather than just do a .bat file, i will post them here so the n00bs can just copy and paste into ADB.

TO COPY AND PASTE INTO ADB, HIGHLIGHT THE LINE OF THE ITEM YOU WANT TO REMOVE, PRESS CTRL+C, GO TO THE CMD WINDOW RUNNING ADB AND CLICK IN THE WINDOW AND NOW PRESS ALT+SPACE ADN NOW "E" "P" (WITHOUT THE QUOTES) AND THE LINE SHOULD PASTE OVER. NOW PRESS ENTER AND IT SHOULD RUN.

COMMANDS TO REMOVE FILES

THESE COMMANDS ARE CASE SENSITIVE

When removing widgets and some applications, the screen may flash and do the loading screen, this is normal.

Hope this helps you guys running hero roms get things going a little speedier, once again any questions, just let me know, I am working on removing other things here and there to pick up speed, if I find things that can be removed I will post them here.

here is a video of my g1 running my phone as is with all these edits
